It would take some time for the judgment to come down.Lisa's family seemed to be afraid of me and didn't show up for a few days.
If they didn't provoke me,I wouldn't look for them either.
Of course,except when it came to asking for the money.
These days,Officer Jack had been very conscientious and responsible in following up with the progress of my case.He was truly dedicated,and I thought he was a great cop.
However,this peaceful period didn't last long before a new change occurred.After a long day at work,I had just lain down to sleep when the sound of chairs scraping came from upstairs.Along with that were the laughter of children and the voices of adults talking.
The sound insulation in this building was average,but the residents here were usually quite conscious of keeping the volume down at night so as not to disturb others.So this was the first time I had encountered such a situation.The layout of the two apartments was similar.Lisa had come to my place to look around last time,and now they were directly making a ruckus right above my head.
I irritably covered my head with the quilt,trying to muffle the noise as much as possible.But it was of little use,and the sounds from upstairs still kept seeping into my ears."I'm not going to sleep anymore!"I threw off the quilt,put on my coat,and went upstairs.
As I climbed the stairs,I was trying my best to hold back my anger.I knew this was Lisa's doing on purpose,just to be spiteful.She didn't think it was her fault for smashing my things.Instead,she was blaming me for reporting her.Such a person was simply disgusting!
I went upstairs and knocked on the door.After a while,I heard Lisa cursing as she shuffled over in her slippers."Are you crazy?Who the hell is knocking on the door in the middle of the night!"When she opened the door and saw me,her eyes immediately rolled,and a hint of triumph appeared on her face."Oh,if it isn't Ms.Sue.What brings you here?The repayment deadline hasn't arrived yet."
She pretended not to know why I was there and deliberately brought up the deadline.Being woken up at this time made me extremely irritable,and I didn't want to talk to her much."Ms.Lisa,the noise from your house is too loud.It's already very late.Can you keep it down a bit?"I asked,trying to suppress my anger.
Hearing me say this,Lisa immediately laughed."Keep it down?I don't think my voice is that loud.You figure it out yourself!"With that,she was about to close the door.I held the door frame."You're disturbing the neighbors.Be careful,or I'll call the police again!"
Lisa seemed to have learned something about this.She didn't care at all."Then go ahead and report.I want to see if the police can arrest me for this!"She was extremely arrogant.I felt like my lungs were about to burst with anger."Are you deliberately retaliating against me?"
Lisa looked up and glared at me."You know it.Let me tell you,if you don't agree to a private settlement,the noise won't stop.Let's see how long you can hold out!"I felt a surge of anger.This whole thing had been their fault from the beginning,and now they were using such despicable means to threaten me!This family was simply disgusting!
Lisa was waiting for my answer with a smug look on her face.In her opinion,it was only a matter of time before I agreed."How long I can hold out is none of your business.You'd better worry about whether you can pay back the money you owe me."With that,I went downstairs,ignoring Lisa's foul language.
