After hearing about the Jia family, Director Wang called Yu Li to his office and said, "Yu Li, you have been working in the street office for more than a year, and you have always performed well."

Yu Li was very happy to be praised and quickly said: "I always listen to the director and learn from everyone."

"Very good, not arrogant or impatient." Director Wang praised again and said, "I just heard that something happened in your yard. It's quite serious. It was said that a child stabbed someone?"

Yu Li had already considered how to deal with someone taking advantage of her Banggeng incident. The director's direct question was the best explanation for her. So Yu Li sat up straight in front of Director Wang and replied with a relaxed expression: "You are talking about my neighbors in the courtyard, the Jia family. Her eldest son is called Jia Geng, and his nickname is Banggeng. Some time ago, he stood up for his friend and beat up Zhao Erga from Zhao Meng's family in Maoer Hutong. Zhao Erga's brother Zhao Dahong also got together with four or five other teenagers to beat up Banggeng, but was stabbed with a knife by Banggeng who was well prepared, and almost stabbed to death.

"I also went to the police station to inquire about the handling of the case. Of course, I did so as a neighbor of the Jia family and did not interfere with the law enforcement of the public security organs. Director Ma and his team wanted to deal with both parties seriously at the beginning. One was a gang crime, and the other was a knife attack that almost killed someone. But although Zhao Dahong did not die, his injuries were serious, so there was no way to deal with him. If Zhao Dahong could not be dealt with, it would be difficult to take heavy measures against Banggeng.

"In the end, they came up with a compromise solution, asking the Jia family to pay 300 yuan to the Zhao family, sending Banggeng to a work-study school, and not punishing Zhao Dahong because of his poor health."

"Oh, this result seems to be unreasonable for the Jia family. According to the common people's point of view, the Zhao family attacked, so it is reasonable for the Jia family to fight back."

"Yes, I asked Ma Suo and his team the same question. Ma Suo said that if Bang Geng had used a stick or a brick or other equivalent weapon, it would have been fine to injure Zhao Dahong. Not to mention injuring him, it would have been fine even if he had killed him. But the bad thing was that he took a knife, and he prepared it in advance, which means he had a plan, and he intended to hurt someone. So Jia Geng's behavior was beyond the scope of reason, just like the old saying on the streets before liberation that you can't use iron weapons in a fight, because iron weapons can easily kill people."

Director Wang nodded. She had also heard these old sayings before. After thinking about it, it was indeed true. She then asked, "Did your hospital donate money for this?"

Yu Li thought: Here it comes, this is the point. Without changing her expression, she replied: "There was a meeting. The elders in charge of the courtyard requested it to be held to raise money for the compensation of the Jia family. However, each family did not contribute much. My He Yuzhu pointed out that the Jia family had money but was unwilling to contribute it, and there was no need for everyone to contribute money. After all, everyone's salary was not high and they all had their own life pressures."

"The Jia family is rich? Your He Yuzhu explained it at the time, and everyone agreed?" Director Wang asked three times in a row.

"Yes, Jia Dongxu of the Jia family died in a work-related accident in 61. The Red Star Steel Mill paid him a pension according to the highest standard and arranged a job for him. Since then, the Jia family has not done anything major, and the pension has definitely not been touched. At the end of 61, Qin Huairu, the daughter-in-law of the Jia family, went to work at the steel mill and could earn a salary, so she could not touch the money. After Zhuzi explained it, Qin Huairu did not deny it, so the money donated at that time was returned to everyone."

"This is handled very well. As grassroots civil servants, we should help those in need, but we cannot hide our own money and suck the blood of others. No one's money comes from the wind. Zhuzi did a good job of speaking up for justice. He is better than Yi Zhonghai and the other managers. I don't know if they are old and confused or just pretending to be confused."

Yu Like did not take advantage of the situation to step on others, but said: "I guess it's because I'm old and can't stand seeing pitiful people. After all, the Jia family only has a bunch of children and relatives left."

"Well, it's pitiful, but the people are pitiful, not the things. Okay, I understand the situation. I was thinking that if the Jia family was really pitiful, our street would also launch a donation to help them. Since her family is not poor, there is no need for that."

That was the end of the conversation. Yu Li stood up and said, "Then I will go to work first and won't disturb you anymore."

After watching Yu Li leave the office and walk away, Director Wang picked up the phone: "Hello, Lao Zhong, I understand the situation. It is different from what you told me. Yu Li did not interfere with the police's strict law enforcement, nor did she maliciously obstruct the neighbors from helping the Jia family. Jia Geng is not innocent in this matter, and the Jia family is not poor. They have money but are unwilling to spend it. ...Okay, you can investigate. I believe Yu Li will not lie, and she has no need to lie. ...However, if things are really as Yu Li said, I hope you will transfer Xiao Zhou away. It will be better for him to change his environment."

After Banggeng was sent to the work-study school, Jia Pozi stood guard at the gate of the yard every day, looking towards the Red Star Primary School, as if her soul had been sucked out. The aunt, who was also an elderly woman, felt very sad and told the uncle, but the uncle just shook his head. He was also distressed. Originally, because of the dream of Jia Dongxu, he helped Qin Huairu pass the first-class worker exam, and Banggeng became more and more polite and sensible because of Mr. Ouyang. Everything was going well together. In the future, he could rely on the familiar and improved Jia family for his retirement, but now,... Alas, Uncle Tan sighed, went out of the house and lit a cigarette. Looking at Yu's mother holding Liuyi and teasing him, he was envious again. Why didn't he have a child? If I had a child, I wouldn't have to worry about retirement every day. With my monthly salary of 100 yuan, I would definitely be able to raise the child to be fat and white, and then pass on all my skills to him. He would also become an eighth-level master craftsman in the future. How beautiful it would be. Just thinking about it makes me happy.

Just as he was about to put out his cigarette, an old lady came over and looked at Yu's mother and Liuyi and said, "It seems like there's something happy happening in Zhuzi's family recently. I asked Yu Li's mother, but she wouldn't tell me."

"Oh, I heard that Zhuzi is going to be promoted again. He is a good cook, and many people come to the factory to learn from him, including many leaders. Some people like his cooking skills and want to recruit him. In order to retain him, the factory can only promote him and increase his salary. However, because Zhuzi's promotion has been a bit too fast in the past two years, it is difficult to explain, so he has not been promoted. The news has not been spread out. I accidentally heard it when Director Yang was talking to his secretary when he was borrowing money for Qin Huairu. Director Yang told me not to spread it."

The aunt nodded and said, "That's great. Zhuzi finally got his wish after all the hardship he's endured. He got promoted, got rich, and got married. If we had a child, it would probably be similar to Zhuzi's."

An old man quickly stopped her from talking: "Don't overthink it. It doesn't matter whether you have a child or not. Having a child is not necessarily a good thing. Look at Bang Geng, he only causes trouble. Look at Xu Damao, he is also a worry-free person. I think it's better not to have children."

The aunt knew that the uncle was trying to comfort her, and said, "I know there are bad things, but there are still more good things, right? My health is not as good as yours, and I will definitely die before you in the future. When I die, you will arrange my funeral, but what will you do?"
