This incident was getting way too much attention online, so much that it felt abnormal.
When they were looking at the house yesterday, Lawrence had mentioned that the family wasn't from Aethelburg. They were from a remote town in the neighboring Eldoria Province. The reason they had moved to Aethelburg and pooled their money to buy a house was because the old woman's grandson had a girlfriend from Aethelburg. The girlfriend had laid down an ultimatum: she wouldn't marry him unless he bought her a house in Aethelburg.
For the sake of their grandson's marriage, the family had sold their old house in the small town and scraped together a significant amount of borrowed money, arriving in Aethelburg with a heavily loaded bank card to look at properties.
The family wasn't very educated. Although the grandson had a job in Aethelburg, he was just an insurance salesman.
