"Who just called the police?"
"Officer, it was me." Lin Wanwan looked over.
"What's going on exactly? How is the house occupied?" The dark-skinned officer swiftly moved through the onlooking neighbors gathered in the hallway to stand beside Lin Wanwan.
Lin Wanwan unlocked her phone, showing the officer a photo of the photocopy of the property deed saved on her phone, then handed over her ID and household registration booklet.
Then, she succinctly stated: "Officer, this house was bought for me by my parents nineteen years ago. When I was five, my parents died in a car accident. My paternal grandparents, favoring boys over girls, threw me out of the house. Since then, this family has illegally occupied it."
The onlooking crowd and the officer all showed Lin Wanwan sympathy. What a tragic case of an orphan stripped of her rightful inheritance.
