Summarize the "calamity that scattered all their hopes to the four winds" as revealed to the family by Grandmother Majauszkiene.

The family meets an old Lithuanian woman who lives only a block away. The old woman brings nothing but bad news. This woman, Grandmother Majauszkiene, “had lived in the midst of misfortune so long that it had come to be her element.” The old woman tells them that the house they bought was, in fact, not new. It had been built by a company whose only goal is to sell the house, then raise the rent so high that the buyer cannot afford it. The buyer will be evicted, and the company will resell the house. The house that the family bought had previously been sold four times.
