Siheyuan: Bringing Warehouses to 1959

Zeng Youqian just ran out like this and no one knew what he was doing.

"Hey, Uncle Qian, are you done with it or what?" Sha Zhu was at the back of the crowd. He arrived late and didn't see Zhang Xiuzhi beating anyone. He just heard about it from a neighbor. "I think Grandma Bang Geng deserves it. She's been doing this kind of feudal superstition all day long. I guess the old man in his family hasn't had a good night's sleep down there."

"You're such a mean mouth..."

"Hahaha, I think what Shazhu said is right. Who can stand yelling at a dead person every day?"

"But in the final analysis, the dead are the greatest. I guess the Zeng family is in trouble this time."

Those who agree with Sha Zhu have all suffered losses.

However, today, Sha Zhu's mortal enemy Xu Damao surprisingly stood on Sha Zhu's side: "Will the Zeng family be in trouble? You all can't see the situation clearly. What do you call this, old woman? Sha Zhu is right. This is called feudal superstition. It is not acceptable and must be overthrown.

"And what are the Zeng family like now? They are military dependents. Do you know what military dependents are? They should be treated preferentially. I have seen it in movies in the countryside. Military dependents receive the highest treatment in the production team. They are insulting military dependents..."

In the whole courtyard, most people probably think that Zeng Wangcai's joining the army is a sign of decline, but Xu Damao and Yan Bugui do not think so. Yan Bugui has met the three old men, while the Xu father and son know more.

Although Xu Fugui's plan was not accomplished in the end, he and his son still dare not offend Zeng Wangcai because they already know the identities of the three old men.

With the support of three big guys, to put it bluntly, if any one of them farts, the houses in the courtyard will be filled up.

"Did you hear that? Xu Damao is a smart man." Sha Zhu laughed.

"Shut your stinking mouths!" Jia Zhang said resentfully, "How did I insult the military family? How can Zhang Xiuzhi be considered a military family member?"

"Grandma Banggeng, haven't you heard?" Yan Bugui stepped forward and said, "Zeng Wangcai is already engaged to Zhang Xiuzhi."

"Engagement is not marriage, so does this count as military dependents?"

"Okay, your words don't count, and my words don't count either. Let's wait for the person who has the final say to come."

Now Zeng Youqian has gone out, and no one knows where he has gone. Everyone looks at Yi Zhonghai, hoping for his idea.

"Sister-in-law, what is your attitude? You are the person involved." Yi Zhonghai wanted to hear Jia Zhang's conditions, and then see if he could get the Zeng family to agree.

"Pay compensation, you must pay compensation!" Seeing Yi Zhonghai was going to stand up for her family, Jia Zhang immediately made a huge request, "Fifty... No, at least one hundred. My son and I were beaten. My teeth are almost falling out, and my son has internal injuries..."

"Are you crazy, Grandma Banggeng?" Shazhu couldn't stand it anymore. "Fifty per person, even if you pulled all your teeth out it wouldn't cost you fifty. And Dongxu, he was beaten as badly as the second son of the second uncle. Ask the second uncle how much money he spent on medical treatment."

"Get lost, you're everywhere!" Liu Haizhong was innocently accused, "Why are you bringing up something that's not relevant?"

Even so, what Sha Zhu said was right. One hundred yuan is not a small amount of money. An apprentice can only earn it back in five months. A person can live well on ten yuan a month. If the Jia family saves on food, one hundred yuan can last them for three months.

"Wangcai's mother, what do you think about this matter? After all, it was your family that beat someone up." Yi Zhonghai ignored Sha Zhu and went straight to Chen Yumei, "Look, Lao Zeng is out. You should make up your mind. It's not right not to pay for the medical expenses of someone who was beaten up like this."

This is favoritism.

Yi Zhonghai did not mention why Zhang Xiuzhi hit people. It seemed that he insisted that cursing was okay but hitting was wrong.

But there is no such thing as fighting each other now.

Seeing that Chen Yumei didn't express her opinion, Yi Zhonghai continued, "If that doesn't work, let's go to the street office to find Director Zhang, or go to the police station and let the police talk to us?"

"No need, I've already found her!" Zeng Youqian's voice came from outside, "Yi Zhonghai, is this how you act like a big shot? There's no reason for you to say that. Don't you even ask or tell me the cause of the incident? Another thing, it wasn't our Xiuzhi who started it first, it was Zhang Cuihua. Zhang Cuihua started beating our Laifu first..."

Zeng Youqian directly mentioned Jia Zhang's name without showing any mercy.

The crowd parted, revealing Zeng Wangcai, Director Zhang from the subdistrict office, and two policemen from the police station.

Zeng Youqian just went to call for people to take the path that Yi Zhonghai wanted to take, leaving Yi Zhonghai with no way to go.

In the courtyard, Zeng Youqian has always been a non-confrontational person. He does not get involved in the disputes between neighbors in the courtyard and does not even want favors. He does this because he has a clear understanding of the type of people in this courtyard.

What happened just now, even if Yi Zhonghai didn't say anything, he knew what Yi Zhonghai was going to do. He also understood that when it came to handling such matters in Siheyuan, Yi Zhonghai was almost able to do it, if not completely.

Therefore, Zeng Youqian directly found someone who could control Yi Zhonghai.

Today, the entire street police were mobilized to send new recruits, so Zeng Youqian did not spend much effort to find Director Zhang and told him about the matter on the way.

Director Zhang was shocked when he heard this. What happened to No. 95 Courtyard? They just left to join the army, and you curse them for not being able to come back?

Upon hearing that a fight had broken out, Director Zhang called two familiar policemen who were in charge of maintaining law and order on the street to come together.

Seeing Director Zhang and the police being invited in, Yi Zhonghai's heart skipped a beat. He forced a smile and said, "Director Zhang, it's not a big deal. Why are you here?"

"Master Yi, this is a serious matter." Director Zhang was particular about his work. He did not rush to make a judgment, nor did he listen to Zeng Youqian's previous opinion. He inquired about what happened on the spot.

So, Zeng Xiaoqiang, Liu Guangfu and others took turns to speak, each of them holding their own opinion.

But with Yan Bugui around, Director Zhang eventually found out the truth of the matter.

"This is a serious matter!" Director Zhang said with a straight face after listening to what everyone said, "Insulting military families, what kind of behavior is this? Master Yi, the consciousness of the people in your courtyard is too low, and you must strengthen your study.

"Also, when children are having a conflict, adults intervene and escalate the conflict. How can this be called a crime? Comrade Zhang Cuihua, the culprit, must apologize."

"Ah? I was beaten, and I still have to apologize to her?" Jia Zhang was dumbfounded. She felt that Director Zhang was backing up the Zeng family. "Director Zhang, you can't judge things like that. Look over there, she's insulting my dead old man."

This refers to the "altar" set up by Zhang Xiuzhi.

"What is this?" Director Zhang asked again. After learning the function of the "altar", he got angry and said, "Master Yi, I didn't expect that there are still people in your hospital who believe in feudal superstition. You are not doing your job well."

"No, Director Zhang, you misunderstood. This was not put up by Zhang Cuihua, but by Zhang Xiuzhi. If we talk about feudal superstition, it is her. She is not from our courtyard..." Yi Zhonghai made a fuss and used Zhang Xiuzhi's identity to make a fuss.

The situation seemed to be reversed, because it was indeed Zhang Xiuzhi who took out the candle, and everyone saw it.

At this time, Zeng Youqian stepped forward to protect his son.

"Yi Zhonghai, stop talking nonsense." Zeng Youqian cleared his throat, "First of all, Xiuzhi is from our hospital, and the household registration department has already processed her. If you don't believe me, ask Xiaoyu..." As he spoke, he pointed at a policeman. This uncle in a hat happened to be from the household registration department of the police station, and then said, "Secondly, who said that Xiuzhi was superstitious for putting this up?"
