Siheyuan: Pioneer in anti-corruption, fighting against evil!
Chapter 418: The Noisy Courtyard
Then, Jia Zhang pointed the finger at Qin Huai: "Why are you still standing there? Aren't you the best at finding solutions? Why don't you go and get some meat buns back?"
Qin Huai said helplessly: "Mom, what can I do? Yunfeng will never give it to us."
"Nonsense! Can't you handle that old man Yi and Zhuzi? He's just a young boy, how could he be indifferent to you? You must be distracted."
Qin Huai knew what his mother meant: she had tried to seduce Yun Feng, but he had not been fooled.
Seeing Qin Huai still hesitating, Xiao Yong said again: "Mom, if you really love me, go and get the meat buns. Otherwise, I will never talk to you again!"
"My dear grandson, what you said makes sense. Qin Huai, go and get the buns back."
Zhao Baogui walked to the side of Li Dashan and saw nothing. When he looked up, he saw Liu Ye holding a bun in one hand. He immediately regretted coming out to watch the fun. He took the opportunity to retreat quietly while Li Dashan was not paying attention.
However, Li Dashan seemed to be completely unaware of this, and he followed closely behind, taking the same small steps. "It's nothing serious, I just felt my foot trip just now, as if I stepped on a stone."
In the blink of an eye, the two of them almost trotted to the door of Zhao Baogui's house. Liu Wanru looked and found that she was the only one standing alone near Zhang Daming's house, which seemed particularly abrupt, so she had to hurry over.
Seeing Liu Wanru following, Zhao Baogui hastily winked at Wang Sanma next door, who then quickly closed the door.
Li Dashan was indeed worried that Zhang Damin would come over to make trouble, so he said to Zhao Baogui, "Old Zhao, I'll go to your house and sit for a while." Zhao Baogui shook his head and said, "Old Li, our family only steamed six steamed buns, and they have all been distributed now."
Fearing that Li Dashan might force his way in, Zhao Baogui simply blocked the door with his body. Li Dashan immediately became unhappy: "I earn 99 yuan a month, why would I care about your few steamed buns?"
"I just came in and sat down."
"Old Li, our house is small and there are many people. If you and Liu Wanru come in, I'm afraid there won't be enough room to sit."
At this time, Li Dashan realized that Zhao Baogui was not worried about him, but Liu Wanru. He looked around and finally turned back to the backyard. He had already embarrassed himself at the doorstep last night and really didn't want to do it again. Besides, Zhao Baogui's family was already short of food. Yesterday he gave Liu Wanru two kilograms of cornmeal, so her family didn't lack steamed bread at all.
Liu Wanru had no intention of going to Zhao Baogui's house to ask for some steamed bread, so she followed Li Dashan back to the middle yard.
"Wanru, do you see Shagen getting up?"
Liu Wanru replied calmly: "It seems that Shagen hasn't had breakfast yet."
Li Dashan hoped that Liu Wanru would go to find Shagen, but she was actually hinting to Li Dashan that Shagen had no money to eat. However, Li Dashan did not understand her meaning.
"It's okay, let Shagen come to my house for breakfast later."
Seeing that Shagen had no food to eat, Li Dashan thought it was a good opportunity to show his good will, so how could he let it go? After returning home, he asked Aunt Liu to prepare some food for Shagen. But Li Dashan was reluctant to spend money, and Shagen had no money, so he could only return home in vain.
When Chen's mother saw Liu Wanru coming back empty-handed, her face immediately changed. "You useless thing, you didn't even bring back a bun. What use are you?"
Liu Wanru has long been interested in Baozi
Aunt Zhao widened her eyes and stared at Li Mingjie, but Li Mingjie simply lowered his head and pretended not to see anything.
Aunt Zhao was helpless, cursing in her heart that they were all useless, and then turned to other people. Everyone in the yard was very smart, no one knew what Aunt Zhao was trying to do, and no one was too lazy to meddle in her affairs. Everyone took their own tools, agreed to go out to work together, and walked out one after another.
Soon, only three old men, Aunt Zhao, Chen Huiru and others were left in the compound.
Aunt Zhao felt that her prestige in the compound was challenged and she hated Zhang Qiang even more.
"Xiao Hai, take the money, give each of them two dollars, and ask them to stop Zhang Qiang." she ordered.
When the young people heard that they could get money, they were all tempted. The Liu family and the Li family were in different situations, but they were in similar situations, with little pocket money in their pockets. However, two yuan was indeed a little less, and they were still a little unwilling.
Seeing that no one was willing to move, Aunt Zhao could only increase the reward. If three dollars didn't work, she raised it to four, and then to five dollars. After several people looked at each other, they finally agreed.
Although Xiao Hai was reluctant to pay, it was Aunt Zhao's order after all, so he had no way to object. He could only reluctantly take out the money and give five yuan each. After the two children of the Li family and the three children of the Li family paid a total of twenty-five yuan, two more pairs of hands reached out.
Xiao Hai took a look and saw that the hands extended belonged to Chen Huiru and Li Wengui.
"Uncle, I'll go with them to help Mingjie."
"Old Yi, those young people have very bad tempers. I will follow them to prevent them from taking action," said Li Wengui.
Xiao Hai frowned, looking like he didn't want to give money. Chen Huiru was favored by him, so he naturally didn't want her to take risks. As for those children, since they had become scum, it didn't matter if they were bullied, and it would save him trouble.
Aunt Zhao was also dissatisfied. She said that this money was for retirement and should not be wasted at will.
"Forget it, you two, don't make trouble. Li Wengui, you have to remember that you still have to go with us to find Director Liu."
Seeing Li Wengui withdraw his hand, Aunt Zhao looked at Chen Huiru again.
"If it weren't for you, would it have turned out like this?" she accused.
"Grandma, Huiru also meant well." Xiao Hai quickly explained for Chen Huiru.
Aunt Zhao turned around and glared at Xiao Hai, scaring him so much that he stepped back, and then continued to look at Chen Huiru.
Chen Huiru shed tears and silently stepped aside.
---
The young men did not dare to delay and quickly split up and rushed to the street office using familiar shortcuts.
Zhang Qiang and Xue'er did not walk fast. They slowly looked for an empty house in the alley.
Unfortunately, there is no suitable space in most yards, and the few available rooms are too small.
Zhang Qiang looked at everyone's wary eyes and didn't dare to ask any more questions. It would be embarrassing if he was caught as a bad guy.
There was no other choice, Zhang Qiang could only take Xueer to the street office.
At this moment, Xiao Hai was already making complaints to Zhang Qiang. After hearing the accusations, the street office staff who were unaware of the inside story were filled with indignation.
"Director, people like this shouldn't live on this street and should be arrested," one person said.
Director Liu and Aunt Liu looked at each other and became wary of Xiao Hai and others.
"An Jing, is this your work attitude? As a staff member of the subdistrict office, you must be fair and selfless. Can you solve the problem by doing this?"
"Grandma Liu, we will find out the situation and send someone to call Zhang Qiang to hear his explanation."
Aunt Zhao felt insulted. "Director Liu, you just need to follow our advice. We represent the opinions of the compound and do not welcome them to live in the compound. Xiao Hai and I are here to testify, so you don't have to worry."
A young girl stood up and said, "Director, I think what the old lady said makes sense. Comrade Xiao Hai is a good resident of our street, and Zhang Qiang actually dared to beat him. He is really unscrupulous."
Director Liu looked at the girl who was speaking. She had just arrived and it was understandable that young people were a little excited, but it was wrong for her to blindly believe everything she heard.
"Xiao Liu, give Xiao Hai the fine he paid." Director Liu said.
Everyone in the subdistrict office looked at each other, wondering why Xiao Hai would be fined. The young girl who spoke sat back in her chair with a red face.
"Xiao Hai, you pried open the state-owned property without permission and disposed of the furniture in the house. I will fine you one hundred yuan. Do you have any objection?" Director Liu asked.
Xiao Hai blushed, lowered his head and said softly, "No".
Xiao Hai lowered his head, and the other people in the street office looked up at him in surprise. He was an eighth-level fitter, and his salary was much higher than theirs, but he actually did something that damaged state property. It was unbelievable.
However, seeing that Xiao Hai did not refute, everyone realized that this was all true.
Aunt Zhao couldn't bear to watch it any longer. "Xiao Liu, Xiao Hai meant well, and he didn't deal with those suggestions."
"Jiang Ming, what do you think Qin Wanqing means by going to someone else's house in the middle of the night? Isn't this ruining that person's reputation?" Director Wang's voice gradually became louder, and he sounded very dissatisfied.
Wang Yong is a prostitute. The injuries he suffered on the battlefield left several obvious scars on his face, which made him look intimidating. Everyone in the street office knew that city girls had high standards, and it would be difficult for someone like Wang Yong to find a partner. If a widow like Qin Wanqing ruined her reputation, there would be no hope.
"Director Wang, Qin Wanqing's family is really in trouble. I am just helping out of kindness." Yi Tianhai said cautiously.
However, this angered Director Wang. "Does kindness give you a reason to run into someone's room in the middle of the night? Tell me, what difficulties did Qin Wanqing have? Is she complaining about the inadequacy of our work?" Director Wang said aggressively.
This question is not simple. Qin Wanqing's family actually did not meet the poverty standard. Most of the difficulties she mentioned were just talk. But Yi Tianhai did not dare to say it directly. Wang Yong was not afraid of these and responded directly: "In the courtyard, the degree of difficulty is calculated by weight. The fatter the family, the poorer the family. If it weren't for the advantage of the second uncle's tall stature, his family would be the poorest in the courtyard."
Director Wang was confused by Wang Yong's answer, "What on earth are you talking about?"
"I'm not talking nonsense. Fortunately, Qin Wanqing's mother-in-law didn't come today, otherwise the gate of your street office would be in a mess and she would have trouble even coming in." As soon as these words came out, everyone around couldn't help laughing.
Director Wang also laughed, then turned to Qin Wanqing and said, "Look up. She is fatter than anyone else here. I don't believe she could be so fat just by eating."
This was obviously a misunderstanding. Qin Wanqing was not fat, but she was not slim either. This body type could easily disgust people. Yi Tianhai knew her true situation very well, but he did not have the courage to explain it to her face.
