Siheyuan: I just want to live

Chapter 18 Director Wang

Seeing that everyone stopped talking, Yi Zhonghai cleared his throat and continued with a serious expression: "Since the unfortunate death of old man Chen in the backyard, Chen Feng has been going out early and coming back late all day, doing nothing. He is neither willing to find a job to make a living nor willing to work hard to improve his life."

"Not only that, he never showed solidarity with everyone in the courtyard, and turned a blind eye to those families living in poverty. He had no sympathy and was unwilling to even extend the most basic helping hand."

"What's even worse is that he has no respect for his elders and his attitude is extremely bad. He has absolutely no moral character of respecting the elderly and loving the young."

"So, today we have called everyone to this meeting, just to let everyone vote together on whether to expel such people from the courtyard!"

As soon as Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, Jia Zhang couldn't wait to shout loudly: "Yes! Drive him out of the courtyard! He clearly knows that our house is too small to accommodate so many people, but he refuses to exchange houses with us! He is not willing to help our family at all!"

"Such a selfish person doesn't deserve to live in our courtyard!" Her voice was sharp and harsh, with obvious anger and dissatisfaction.

"And what else? Did you know? He was eating meat at home, and my dog ​​was crying with envy! But he didn't even bring me a bowl."

"Qin Huairu went to his house to borrow some meat, but he said he had finished it! Can he finish such a big rabbit in one meal?"

"This is clearly bullying! In the end, Qin Huairu was so angry that she ran back home crying!"

The more Jia Zhang thought about it, the angrier she became. She felt that Chen Feng was a complete bad person and that such a person should be kicked out of the courtyard!

In Jia Zhang's opinion, only those who are good to the Jia family can be considered good people. If anyone dares to speak ill of the Jia family or do something detrimental to the Jia family, then he is committing a heinous crime and absolutely cannot be forgiven!

Facing Jia Zhang's accusations and abuse, Chen Feng didn't bother to pay attention to her. He just turned around and said calmly to Yi Zhonghai

"Yi Zhonghai, what basis do you have to say that I have nothing to do all day? How did you know that I didn't look for a job? Do you have any evidence? Or are you just making up stories to slander me?"

"If I don't agree with the Jia family changing houses, does that mean I'm not united with the masses? If the Jia family has housing difficulties, they can go to the street office to apply normally! Why are you looking for me?"

"And how am I not respecting the elderly and loving the young? You must explain it to me clearly, you can't slander someone's innocence out of thin air!"

The people standing below and the two old men sitting on both sides of the table were all staring at Yi Zhonghai, waiting for him to respond to the question raised by Chen Feng.

Yi Zhonghai's attitude was extremely bad, and his tone became stern: "So, what exactly do you do every day when you go out early and come back late? As for the work, you didn't even ask us to help you find it, and why didn't you even mention it?"

Chen Feng raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a disdainful smile: "Uncle San knows exactly what I do every day! As for work, it doesn't seem to have much to do with you, right?"

"Although you are indeed a senior worker in the steel mill, the position I am about to take over is a scrap collection station. The two are completely unrelated. What's the point of telling you? Am I just wasting my time like this?"

Chen Feng's words were full of sarcasm and dissatisfaction. Yan Fugui also said, "Yes, every day I see what time Chen Feng goes out and what he does."

Yi Zhonghai thought that he was very good as an eighth-level worker, but in fact he was only good in the steel rolling mill. There were many masters better than him in Shougang in the western suburbs of the city, not to mention the old city.

Yi Zhonghai thought that he had just held a meeting, had everyone vote by raising their hands and then chased Chen Feng away, and had simply gotten the job done, but he didn't expect Chen Feng to be able to say this.

Yi Zhonghai looked serious, staring at Chen Feng sharply, and asked sternly, "Didn't you push Jia Zhang yesterday, causing her to fall? And the way you spoke to me today was really too much. You showed absolutely no respect for an old man like me!"

Chen Feng felt extremely helpless. At this moment, he could clearly judge that the reason why Yi Zhonghai convened this meeting was to expel him from the yard.

He faced Yi Zhonghai's questioning calmly and explained to the others in the yard: "Everyone saw clearly that Jia Zhang fell yesterday. She wanted to hit me, but she rushed forward too hard and fell accidentally. I didn't even touch her."

"And today's incident was like this. The day before yesterday, I bought a second-hand bicycle at the Trust Store. This should have been something to be happy about, but instead of congratulating him, he first questioned whether the bicycle was of unknown origin!"

"I told him at the time that if he had any doubts, he could report it directly, but don't interfere with my business! But now he accuses me of having a bad attitude! If anyone hears such words, how can their attitude improve?" Chen Feng said angrily.

At this time, Yan Fugui spoke up again: "Old Yi! This is your fault! I also know that Chen Feng bought a bicycle, and I even asked him about the price! How can you say that his bicycle is of unknown origin?"

Chen Feng muttered to himself, Yan Fugui is such a capable helper! If he were to play games in the future, he would definitely ask him to team up with him.

However, Yi Zhonghai still insisted in a tough manner: "You must move out of this yard today, even if you don't want to move."

Chen Feng was very surprised and asked in confusion: "Why do you want me to move out? Why should I obey you? Besides, I live in a private house! My name is on the property certificate! Even if I don't move, what can you do to me?"

Yi Zhonghai seemed to want to continue arguing, but suddenly, he heard an angry shout from the side: "Enough!"

It turned out that Director Wang from the Street Office came out from behind the crowd with two young comrades and interrupted Yi Zhonghai's words directly.

In fact, Director Wang had already arrived at the scene. When Chen Feng showed up, he saw Director Wang walking towards the Intermediate Court and standing quietly behind the crowd without speaking. If that were the case, Chen Feng would not have spent so much time explaining to Yi Zhonghai, wasting his breath.

At this moment, Director Wang stepped out from the crowd, and the three uncles hurriedly stood up to greet him.

Liu Haizhong was the first to flatter Director Wang, "Director Wang, you are so busy, yet you still took out your precious time to come and inspect the courtyard. We are really honored! Do you welcome the leaders of the subdistrict office to come and give us some advice?"

"Hmph! If I hadn't arrived just in time, I would probably have missed the chance to see this wonderful show!" Director Wang changed the subject and snorted at Yi Zhonghai.

Hearing this, Yi Zhonghai's arrogance instantly died down and he became listless.

Director Wang slowly walked behind the table, then turned around and said loudly to everyone present: "I have just listened to the entire conference! I have completely understood it now! Then, I would like to express some of my personal opinions."

"In my opinion, Yi Zhonghai is just looking for trouble and wants to drive Chen Feng out of the courtyard. As for what his purpose is, I'm afraid only he knows it best!"

Director Wang paused for a moment, and then announced the punishment measures against Yi Zhonghai in public: "Yi Zhonghai will be temporarily relieved of his position as the manager. Starting tomorrow, he needs to go to the street office every day to attend a study session for two hours."

Then, Director Wang continued to say to the crowd: "As long as each of you can work hard and don't make any mistakes, no one will take back the houses you live in, let alone drive you out."

"Okay, let me briefly introduce the current situation of the Jia family to you. Please listen carefully." Director Wang looked at everyone with a serious expression and said, "Have you ever thought about why the Jia family, with so many people, couldn't get an extra room?"

"In fact, their family had previously reported the situation to the street office, but unfortunately, the street office was helpless!"

"You know, although the Jia family has a large population, only Jia Xudong has a city hukou. According to regulations, each person can only be allocated one room. After all, this is the policy, and no one can make an exception!" Director Wang patiently explained to everyone.

Hearing this, everyone suddenly realized that this was the reason why the Jia family did not get more houses. Director Wang saw that everyone had understood, so he nodded with satisfaction and ended the discussion on the issue of the Jia family's housing allocation. Then, he changed the subject and began to talk about the real purpose of coming to the courtyard today.

Director Wang said in a serious tone, "Just in the early hours of the night before yesterday, our police station suddenly received a report that there were three enemy agents in Lingguang Hutong, Andingmen, disguised as a family."

"This is really audacious! After receiving the report, the comrades in the police station immediately took action and attacked quickly without hesitation."

"They captured the three hateful enemy spies in one fell swoop with a thunderous force! Not only that, but what's even more surprising is that during this operation, they followed the clues and actually caught a dozen lurking enemy spies hiding in the dark. It can be said that they have achieved great results!"

"However, there is one thing I have to mention. The way the comrade who submitted the report letter submitted it was a bit peculiar. I hope he won't use this method next time. In fact, if you don't have any major problems, you can feel free to report it in person. I believe the comrades at the police station will definitely not make things difficult for you."

"Oh, there's one more thing I forgot to mention. The police station comrades have specially prepared a certificate of honor and a bonus! If that comrade is also in the crowd at this moment, please go to the police station as soon as possible to receive your honorary certificate and bonus! Of course, if you are not the informant, then don't join in the fun and make trouble!"

"Alright! I've said everything I need to say, now everyone can go home!"

As soon as Director Wang finished speaking, he turned around and left with his men, walking towards the next yard.
