CHAPTER 130: CHAPTER 117 DO YOU THINK IT’S STILL OKAY FOR ME TO GET A DIVORCE NOW?_3

...

Zizhou.

In the hotel, Qing Lan was infuriated by Qin Mu’s merciless words. What did he mean by "as poor as her"? She was, more or less, a major streamer and earned quite a bit of money. It was just that over the years, most of what she’d earned had been spent on this apartment. When she thought about the cracks in her apartment, her heart felt like it was splitting open again.

She directly accessed the rights protection group. She discussed the afternoon’s police report and Qin Mu’s suggestions once again.

"The lawsuit template is now in the group. Everyone please fill it out tonight!"

Once she sent her message, the whole rights protection group boiled over again.

"They were all arrested? So satisfying! Really satisfying!"

"The property manager was arrested too? Group Leader, your friend is quite something. Can you introduce us?"

"But although those people were arrested, what about our homes? Where do we live now?"

"Does everyone have to write a lawsuit document?"

"..."

Apart from feeling vindicated by the current turn of events, many were more concerned about their future living conditions. Ever since it was confirmed that the building was hazardous and could collapse at any moment, they were terrified even to go back to fetch their possessions. Many were living here with their families. Now everyone was forced out, either staying in hotels or with relatives. It was extremely inconvenient.

"This lawsuit is for civil compensation. You can include any demands you have, requiring the other party to pay damages," as the group leader, Qing Lan patiently explained. "Then we can sue them through the court. As long as the demands are reasonable, compensation can be obtained."

These were the most legitimate and effective rights protection methods. There’s no absolute fairness and justice in the world. But the court... is the place that most values fairness and justice. Even if the local government does something wrong, you can still file a lawsuit.

The homeowners in the group, after learning about the methods of civil rights protection, were filled with excitement. They began to learn how to write the lawsuit documents.

Whether or not the opposing party could afford to pay was a concern for later. To receive compensation, they first had to demand it.

So, that very night, the rights protection group saw a variety of compensation demands.

"@GroupLeader, I was supposed to have a blind date a few days ago, but when I brought her to my place, she never spoke to me again after seeing the cracked walls in my house. Can I demand they set me up with someone new as compensation?"

"Group Leader, I remember the owner of apartment 401 has a pretty sister, and I’m single too. Can I make this compensation demand?"

"Right, Group Leader, how much should I put down for emotional distress? There are five people in my family, and we were all incredibly upset by this. Can we ask for more?"

"My mother is eighty-nine this year, and she was so upset about not having a home to return to that she was hospitalized. Can I demand compensation for medical bills?"

"..."

Qing Lan’s lips twitched as she busied herself dealing with the various homeowners’ issues in the group. If she encountered issues she was uncertain about, she would consult Qin Mu before replying to the homeowners.

With over three hundred people involved, this continued until eleven o’clock at night, by which time they had all gradually completed their lawsuit documents.

"Everyone should go to bed early. Tomorrow morning at nine o’clock, we’ll meet right in front of the district gates and head to the court together!"

Having handled these matters, Qing Lan sent out the message and then fell into a deep sleep.

...

「The next day.」

She woke up on time with the alarm. After washing up, she headed to the gates of Yuefu Jiangnan District.

By nine o’clock, all three hundred and fifty-nine homeowners had arrived. No one was absent since it involved their rights.

"Let’s go!"

Afterward, the group, with their printed lawsuit documents in hand, marched impressively towards Zizhou Court.

At ten o’clock in the morning, under Qing Lan’s lead, more than three hundred people entered the court.

"Quickly notify the bailiffs; it looks like some people are here to make trouble!"

The court staff were terrified upon seeing this. They immediately had someone inform the court bailiffs.

When more than a dozen bailiffs arrived and saw Qing Lan’s large contingent, they didn’t dare act rashly. Instead, they shouted from a distance, "This is a court! What exactly do you all want, gathering here in such numbers?"

The sight of over three hundred people standing together was indeed intimidating. They were densely packed. If a confrontation occurred, casualties would be inevitable. For a moment, the entire court felt as if it were facing a major threat due to the arrival of Qing Lan and her group.

At Qing Lan’s side, a few homeowners, seeing the dozen or so bailiffs arrayed before them, couldn’t help but become flustered. They looked towards Qing Lan, asking cautiously, "Group Leader, we won’t be arrested, will we?"

Qing Lan had never encountered such a situation before. She swallowed hard but composed herself. She explained their purpose to the court personnel, "Don’t be nervous. We’re all victims here to file a complaint."

"Victims?"

The dozen bailiffs exchanged glances, then looked back at the dense crowd behind Qing Lan, skeptical. Only when Qing Lan and others produced their individual lawsuit documents did they believe the group’s intentions.

However, they remained vigilant, constantly watching Qing Lan and her group for any unexpected moves.

Meanwhile, another staff member stepped forward to guide them. "The registration center is this way."

Before long, the densely packed group of more than three hundred people reached the registration center, instantly filling the originally spacious area to the brim.

"’Line up, one by one,’ a staff member from the registration center said, swallowing hard and speaking in a gentle, low voice."
