Siheyuan: I Raised Ten Thousand Wild Boars

"Okay, since I'm free right now, let's go to the courtyard to look at the house and say hello to the old man in your courtyard!"

After Director Wang finished registering, he was afraid that something might happen to the residents of the courtyard, so he decided to go with them.

After the two arrived at the courtyard, they went straight to the back house next to Uncle Fang's. The two rooms were about the same size, about 30 square meters.

When I opened the door, a musty smell hit me in the face. Perhaps no one has lived here for a long time, so the house is very dusty, but the overall structure of the house is intact.

"Guohua, take a look. This room has been unoccupied for a long time and it's leaking. How about we move to another room?"

The room next to Uncle Fang's house is fine, there are no major problems, but the other room has a bit of leaks, and the roof needs to be repaired, which costs a lot of money.

"Aunt Wang, this house is just fine! The two rooms are together, so convenient. I'll build a kang later. It will be so comfortable!" Li Guohua said with a smile

It doesn’t matter if you spend more money, you can wait a few years to get the property rights back. It’s better to be propertyless now.

When the time comes, the two houses will be connected, and two windows will be opened along the street to ensure good air circulation in the house, and it can barely be considered a home.

As for my eldest brother, you don’t have to worry about it. Just ask the steel mill to assign him some work when the time comes.

"Okay, as long as you are satisfied. Besides, your house has some defects, so I will waive the first year's rent for you!" Director Wang said generously.

At this time, a man's voice came from the courtyard, and it seemed a little excited. At this time, everyone should be at work, and no one should be at home.

"Here's the key. Keep an eye on it while I go talk to the three uncles!"

Wang Qiuju was worried that something might happen in the yard, so she left in a hurry after giving the key.

Li Guohua looked around and thought that overall it was pretty good, except that the roof would require some money. He would ask his eldest brother or father Li Chuwu to help get someone over to fix it.

He closed the door again and walked towards the central courtyard to see what was going on.

The Central Courtyard was surrounded by people at this time. Probably everyone in the entire courtyard who was at home was here. There were also a few uniformed public security comrades among the crowd.

When I walked to the side, I found that there were three people sitting on the ground among the public security comrades. One was an old lady he didn't know, one was a deaf old lady in the backyard, and the last one was Sha Zhu.

"Aunt Qiao, what's going on?" Li Guohua looked at an older sister next to him and asked in a low voice.

"Guohua, Shazhu and the old lady were caught while selling food coupons!"

Aunt Qiao looked very excited, but her reaction was a little strange, a mixture of happiness and resentment.

"Ah, where did they get the food coupons to sell?" Li Guohua asked in surprise.

"Who knows? Only fools like us are eager to help others every day!" Aunt Qiao bit her lips so hard that they almost bled.

"He Yuzhu, you said you were the leader, so where did you get so many food coupons?" the leading public security comrade, a middle-aged man in his 30s, shouted.

"Hmph!" Sha Zhu twisted his neck and said nothing.

A young comrade saw that Sha Zhu was like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, and hurriedly said, "He is stubborn! Director, more than 60 kilograms of meal tickets and more than ten yuan are enough to meet the standard. Let's parade him through the streets!"

Seeing this, Wang Qiuju could no longer bear it. She quickly walked to Shazhu and scolded him bitterly: "He Yuzhu, you are a cook who has enough food every month. How could you make such a mistake? Why don't you explain it properly!"

Sha Zhu wanted to die. Why did he agree to the old lady's promise today to go out and sell food coupons behind his back when he didn't need food?

"Director Wang, I...!" Sha Zhu had no time to say anything. He couldn't say that it was a deaf old lady selling food coupons, that would be too unfilial.

"It's already this time and you're still hiding it. Do you still want to keep your job? How is your sister going to study and get married in the future?" Wang Qiuju was very disappointed with him. This Sha Zhu was a brainless person and the deaf old lady was not related to you, yet you were still insisting on it.

Besides, she is so old, what can the police do to her? Should we just take her home and take care of her?

"Okay, Zhuzi, I know you're a good kid! Comrade Gong'an, I told you, today I'm the old lady selling food coupons, and because I have a disability, I asked this silly boy to carry me on his back!"

When the deaf old lady saw that Sha Zhu was going to be punished, she finally came to her senses. At most, it was just a matter of face for her, but without Sha Zhu, her life would be in trouble in the future.

He quickly stretched out his old-fashioned bound feet to show that he was not lying.

"I also explained that there are ten people in our family, but only two of us have a ration, and we really have no food to eat. We have been digging wild vegetables and picking leaves these days, otherwise we would not have come out to do such a shameful thing!" Another white-haired old lady started crying as she spoke.

As for what he said, it must be half true and half false, otherwise how could he buy more than 60 kilograms of meal tickets at one time?

Seeing that the two men confessed their guilt and took Sha Zhu away, several public security comrades were dumbfounded and looked at the director.

"Director Wang, how do you think we should handle this matter?" Director Wu of the street police station looked at Wang Qiuju and asked.

In fact, he understood what happened today. But the two old ladies had white hair and were not suitable to be taken home. They were so old that they could not be beaten or scolded. If he was afraid that something might happen to them, that would be asking for trouble.

So he brought the three people directly back to the courtyard, intending to let the street office handle it.

"Director Wu, these two are so old. In line with the purpose of curing illnesses and saving lives and punishing past mistakes to prevent future ones, why don't we focus on education?" Wang Qiuju thought for a moment and said,

"Okay, Director Wang, I'll teach you how to do it!" Director Wu happily led his men to disperse the team, but forget about the food coupons and money, as they were all confiscated.

"Hey! You two are already old, and you are still doing this. Can you run away if you are discovered?... Starting from tomorrow, come to the street to receive training every day for a month!" Wang Qiuju said with a sigh.

It would be difficult for anyone to deal with these two old ladies, after all, they had not committed any major mistakes.

Since the uncles were not at home, Wang Qiuju told the three aunts about Li Guohua's renting a house, and then hurriedly left the courtyard.

In the evening, when Yi Zhonghai returned home and heard about this, his brows furrowed.

"Shazhu, does anyone else know about your sale of food coupons?" He suspected that Shazhu was framed, otherwise how could he be so mean and be caught red-handed just after the transaction.

"No, my grandma said she wanted to go this morning, so I took a temporary leave and carried her there." Sha Zhu said unhappily.

Yi Zhonghai breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. It seemed like it was really an accident.

"Uncle, the old lady has run out of food rations for this month and next month. What should we do?" Sha Zhu thought about it and realized that all the money and notes of the deaf old lady had been searched away, so he asked hurriedly.

"Well, let me get five pounds of corn flour first, and we'll deal with the rest later!" Yi Zhonghai sighed, thought for a while and said.

For so many years, he has always been the one supporting others, from Jia Dongxu, to Sha Zhu, to the deaf old lady. When will he see the money returned?
