Spoiled by Eight Uncles (Lily)

The enraged elderly woman scolded the group with anger, “What a bunch of pretentious snobs! They buttered me up when they saw my wealth on the 17th floor, but together they bullied me as an elderly person! And you, from the 15th floor, when did you see me blocking the elevator with a chair? You're out of your mind for slandering me!” The resident from the 15th floor, who held a grudge against the old woman, retorted, “How dare you deny it? When they are moving in, you feel jealous and don’t want them to go up on purpose!” The owners of the other 12 buildings chimed in, “Oh, it happened a while ago! No wonder the elevator has been stuck on the 16th floor!” The old woman spoke furiously, “We don't live on the 15th floor! Who knows whose apartment it is? You, on the 15th floor, you better show proof, or this issue will never be resolved!” The jealous spirit lingering over the old woman's head fell silent.

He knew.

It was the old woman’s apartment! But the jealous spirit could not help but think about that child from earlier! Why did he feel anxious when he saw that child earlier? Could it be his imagination? He then thought about the innocent and adorable face of that child. It should not have such bad luck to encounter the kid who excelled at catching ghosts here, right? That child is in Alfornada! It’s impossible...

There was a brief silence on the 15th floor. The old woman on the 17th floor was already angry, but now she was extremely furious, bombarding the 15th floor with ten 60-second voice calls, scolding them relentlessly.

The crowd remained silent...

This was a classic case of relying on age and using it as a weapon. Whoever went up there would be scolded.

Bettany was lying on the sofa, crossing her legs and scrolling through the news in the group.

It turned out that living in an apartment with neighbors above and below can be quite... eventful.

Bettany casually added the 15th-floor resident and sent a video of the old woman getting a chair blocking the stairs.

This incident happened because the owner of Furniture Haven delayed the construction for half a day. To explain the situation, he provided the surveillance video to the old woman.

Lilly sat beside them, hugging Bettany’s arms, and with a smile, said, “Grandma, you're so playful!” She had just captured the jealous spirit. After returning, she was tired and did not feel like moving.

Moreover, Lilly felt that if given the chance to be a little mischievous for a couple of days, why not teach Grandma to fight for herself? The residents on the 15th floor were concerned about the lack of evidence.

On that particular day, the resident of the 15th floor was in a rush to get to work. Upon seeing the elevator stuck on the 16th floor, he went up to investigate and discovered it was the old woman causing the obstruction.

Being a grown man, he did not immediately think of taking a video with his phone. Instead, he asked her to move the chair so he could hurry to work.

Several days passed, and if he wanted to gather evidence, he would have to report the incident to the property management and submit an application to obtain the surveillance footage.

However, who had the time to deal with such matters? Just as he was thinking about this, the person on the 17th floor added him and sent him the video.

The resident on the 15th floor was overjoyed and promptly shared the video with the group, along with the caption, “You wanted evidence? Here it is.” The video showed the old woman getting a chair stuck in the elevator door while she using her phone and eating some snacks.

Even her young grandson was playing with building blocks inside the elevator.

The other residents were left speechless, particularly the resident on the 12th floor, who voiced their frustration.

“So, it's your family that lacks manners! You people truly have no sense of shame!” “You said the kid from the other family was being mischievous, but look at this brat from your family!” “It's unbelievable! They think they own the elevator!” “I look down on them. Last time, She even bragged to my mother that their son bought a house, but little did | expect it was someone else’s house. The person on the 17th floor is really unfortunate.” Upon the old woman's return home, her son scolded her, “Didn't | tell you not to do it? Are you trying to go viral? Our child is still young, and now everyone's calling him a troublemaker! Who would want to be friends with him in the future? I'm being criticized because of you! What else can you do besides causing trouble for me?” The old woman struggled to catch her breath and felt a heaviness in her chest.

“How was | supposed to know that their house is covered in carpet... | think they did it on purpose! They laid the carpet early in the morning and waited for me to come up... they even started live streaming. Isn't it all just an opportunity for them to flaunt their house?” The old woman continued to curse and complain.

Her son grew annoyed and shut the door, ignoring her.

The old woman felt a bitter taste in her heart, finding it hard to breathe and maintain her balance. She felt so uncomfortable that she could not sleep.

Thanks to this incident, she had gotten a clear view of the Crawford family’s renovated home.

It was magnificent—how should she put it? Elegant... luxurious! Just like the mansions shown on TV.

As she turned around, she realized how spacious the house was. Each person had their own room, even the servants had their own quarters. The living room was expansive, the balcony was generous, and the green plants were flourishing...

It was spacious, bright, and comfortable...

There was no denying the impact of comparison. Having seen the spacious and high-end residence on the 17th floor, she could not help but compare it to her own home...

The old woman's frustration grew, unable to understand why another family was wealthy while hers was not. Witnessing others’ affluence made her feel uncomfortable.

In a living room as spacious as theirs, having just a sofa and a coffee table seemed like a waste of space.

The kitchen and dining room were separated and equipped with both Chinese and Western-style kitchens. The dining table was adorned with vases of flowers. What kind of extravagant display was this? It seemed like an unnecessary indulgence! The entire house was carpeted, and the cost of laying those carpets amounted to five or six hundred thousand dollars...

Such a substantial sum could purchase another apartment in its entirety. What a senseless extravagance! Why wouldn't they give her the money instead? The old woman's eyes welled up with jealousy and her eyes were bloodshot.
