Siheyuan: Survival Guide for Courtyard No. 95

Yan Bugui has always wanted to get a bicycle, and he has been to the department store more than ten times. However, he doesn't have a bicycle ticket and he is reluctant to spend the money, so he has been procrastinating for almost two years and is still unsuccessful.

"Uncle, it's just a bicycle. You just can't bear to spend money. Otherwise, you would have bought it long ago. Do you want me to let you ride it for a few laps to feel it?"

Yan Bugui certainly would not miss the opportunity to take advantage. He took Zhao Shanhe's bicycle and pushed it out of the yard, riding it around the alley for a few laps.

At this time, other families in the yard were also attracted by Jie Cheng's loud shouting. Yi Zhonghai watched Old Yan riding the new bicycle without saying a word, but Liu Haizhong was jealous to the point of going crazy.

Why can a junior like you have a bicycle, while I, the second uncle respected by everyone in the yard and a level 6 forger in the steel rolling mill, have been working for so many years, but I can't even get a bicycle ticket?

No, we must ask this little guy where he got the bicycle ticket. If we catch him engaging in speculation, not only can we confiscate the bicycle, but we can also take over the two rooms.

Thinking of this, Liu Haizhong stood up and asked loudly.

"Zhao Shanhe, where did you get this bicycle ticket? Don't tell me that it was distributed to you by the factory. With your level as a purchaser, it wouldn't be your turn when the factory distributes the tickets, right?"

Zhao Shanhe thought that Yi Zhonghai would jump out and cause trouble for him, because he did not give Yi Zhonghai face during the New Year. Unexpectedly, Old Yi did not move, but Old Liu, the idiot, jumped out.

He would not give this idiot any good face and replied directly.

"Uncle, the street office doesn't seem to give you the right to inquire about other people's property, right? Do you understand what neighborhood disputes are? If you don't understand, go ask Director Wang yourself tomorrow."

Old Liu was so choked by these words that he couldn't say anything for a long time. Finally, he felt very embarrassed. He glared at Zhao Shanhe and went back to the backyard.

He left, but the others did not leave. They were all watching Yan Bugui riding his bike, and everyone was talking about it.

"This Zhao Shanhe is really capable. He actually managed to get a bicycle ticket?"

"Come on, how do you know he got the bicycle ticket from a good source? What if he was speculating?"

"It's OK even if it was obtained through speculation. Most people don't have the opportunity to speculate."

"Zhao Shanhe has been very smart since he was young. I guess he made the factory leader happy, so he gave it to him, right?"

Jia Zhang took Jia Dongxu and Banggeng to listen to what everyone was saying in the crowd. After thinking about it for a while, she came up with an idea.

"Dongxu, go to the neighborhood office now and report Zhao Shanhe. Say that you suspect he bought a bicycle for profit."

Jia Dongxu looked at her suspiciously and didn't really want to go, mainly because it was too unethical.

"Mom, this is not good, right? If Zhao Shanhe is really speculating, it's fine, but if not, do we still need to live in the compound in the future? Won't the neighbors be wary of us like thieves?"

"Why did I give birth to such an idiot like you? I've already said that I'm suspicious, do you understand? Don't the people have the right to report? Just go ahead and don't worry, the people in the hospital won't care. They only care about their own interests and will definitely not gossip about you."

Jia Dongxu went to the street office half-believing and half-doubting, thinking that he could just bring a clerk back to scare Zhao Shanhe, but he happened to meet Director Wang who was about to get off work.

"Are you... Jia Dongxu from Yard 95? Do you have something to do at the Street Office? If it's not urgent, come back tomorrow. The Street Office is closed."

Director Wang spoke to Jia Dongxu in a bad mood, mainly because seeing him reminded people of his mother, Jia Zhang.

When Jia Dongxu heard that the street workers were about to get off work, he hurriedly said.

"Director Wang, Zhao Shanhe from our hospital brought back a new bicycle, saying it was newly bought, but he is just an ordinary purchaser. How could he get the bicycle ticket? So I suspect he is involved in speculation and profiteering. I am here to report him."

Director Wang's face changed after hearing what Jia Dongxu said. He thought to himself, how could Zhao Shanhe be so unreliable that he could let the other party catch him like this?

But then he thought that Zhao Shanhe's way of doing things had changed a lot recently. What if he had a good relationship with a factory leader and the other party gave him a bicycle ticket? After all, for a leader, a bicycle ticket is really not a precious thing.

"Jia Dongxu, are you sure about what you said? You are reporting under your real name. If the other party produces substantial evidence, you will be considered a false accusation."

Jia Dongxu was a little afraid of Director Wang to begin with, since he was the most important person in their area. After hearing this, he hurriedly explained.

"Director Wang, I just have doubts, doubts."

Director Wang ignored Jia Dongxu and stopped two street workers who were also about to get off work, and went to Yard 95 together.

When they arrived, Yan Bugui had already got off the bicycle. The one riding the bicycle now was Yan Jiecheng, and the one helping from behind was Yan Jiefang. The two brothers had rarely had the opportunity to ride bicycles before, so they could only learn on the job. Zhao Shanhe didn't care about this little thing. So what if they fell off the bicycle?

Yan Bugui saw Jia Dongxu coming with Director Wang and hurried to greet them.

"Director Wang, what brings you here so late at night?"

Director Wang nodded and said to him.

"Jia Dongxu from your yard reported Zhao Shanhe for speculation and profiteering under his real name and got a bicycle back. I came to check out the situation."

After saying that, he turned and asked Zhao Shanhe beside him.

"Comrade Zhao Shanhe, please tell me the truth about the origin of this bicycle and how you got the bicycle ticket?"

Zhao Shanhe felt a little regretful when he rode his bike back to the yard. After all, this was a yard full of beasts, and the people living there were all guys who couldn't stand others doing well.

But he never thought that it would be Jia Dongxu who would report him. Fortunately, he had already thought of a countermeasure when Liu Haizhong asked him.

"Director Wang, I just bought this bicycle at the department store today. This is the license plate. There is also a police station stamp on the bicycle. As for the bicycle ticket, it was given to me as a reward by Director Li Huaide because I purchased a wild boar for the factory."

This is the solution Zhao Shanhe came up with. I believe that with Director Li's intelligence, it would be very easy to help cover up this matter.

Sure enough, after saying this, Director Wang's expression became much better.

"In that case, tomorrow our subdistrict office will send someone to the steel mill to inquire with Director Li Huaide. If what you said is true, then Jia Dongxu is making a false accusation. But if you dare to lie, I don't need to tell you the consequences, right?"

"Director Wang, I am loyal to the Party and I will resolutely fight against criminal acts such as speculation. If I have made a mistake, I will admit it. I will not tolerate others putting the blame on me even if it is not my fault."
