Xu Damao's Thirty-Six Stratagems in Siheyuan
Chapter 87: Egg Stealing Follow-up
At noon, Jia Dongxu came back and went out again. Half an hour later, Jia Dongxu, Bang Geng, whose trouser pockets were wet, and Zhang Aihua and her son Li Xiang, who lived across the courtyard, returned to the compound.
It didn't take long for No. 95 compound to find out that Jia Geng was criticized and educated, and the Red Star Primary School and the Red Star Street Office were informed that Jia Dongxu, as a parent, did not educate his child strictly enough and was ordered to be fined yuan.
Zhang Aihua was criticized and educated for buying and exchanging eggs on the black market, but she still asked Jia Dongxu to pay two dollars and fifty cents for the eggs on the spot. She also took back the ceramic bowl for storing eggs from Jia's house when she returned to the compound.
Earlier, Jia Dongxu went back to the compound and took more than twenty yuan from Jia Zhang to pay the fine.
You said that a simple matter was not only complicated by the Jia family, but also damaged their reputation and money. 20 yuan can buy more than eggs.
Jia Zhang cried again. Jia Dongxu pulled down Banggeng's wet cotton pants, exposing his buttocks, and beat him hard with the sole of his shoe, making Banggeng scream for his parents and gasping for breath. Twenty yuan, Jia Dongxu felt bad just thinking about it, he had enough to go to Juer Hutong four or five times. It's deserved!
It's no use for Banggeng to call his mother, because his real mother is busy now. Qin Huairu is really a fertile land, a land that can grow crops if you sow seeds. They got married at the end of last year, and she got pregnant after the Spring Festival. Now she is almost due. If Banggeng knew that his mother was going to give him another half-sibling, what would he think as an eight-year-old kid?
Banggeng is now despised by everyone in the compound. Not only does he stink, his hands and feet are dirty, and he is addicted to stealing. This is the fault of Jia Zhangshi. Usually, it seems natural for Banggeng to take things from neighbors. Sometimes neighbors think that it is just a few coal balls or a few green onions, so they just tolerate it. This has further encouraged Banggeng's arrogance.
Xu Damao actually saw that the lock of his door had been pried open. Now he thought that it must have been Banggeng's doing. That's why he asked Li Xiang to report to the police today. Otherwise, the atmosphere of No. 95 Courtyard would be ruined because of Banggeng, a bad apple. He often didn't live in the courtyard, so it was possible that the lock of his house was pried open. He had good things at home. Xu Damao now really understood. The set of white porcelain tea sets that Lou Xiaoe brought when she got married were all old items, fine products from the Xing kiln in the late Qing Dynasty. Although they were folk kilns, the complete set of hundreds of years old items would also be valuable in the future. He couldn't let Banggeng bring them into the house and ruin them.
Courtyard No. 95 is so strange. Logically, the incident of Li Quezi's family stealing eggs should have come to an end by noon yesterday. Unexpectedly, something strange happened again this evening. When Xu Damao and He Yuzhu were having dinner, Jia Dongxu actually came to inform them, "Hey, Shazhu, Xu Damao, your two families really have a good relationship. You eat together every day."
"Why, Jia Dongxu, it's illegal for me to have dinner with Xu Damao's family, but I enjoy it. Do you have something to do? If you have something to do, say it. If not, get out of here."
"Silly Zhu, don't be so arrogant. Someone will take care of you in the future. The uncle said that there will be a meeting at 6 o'clock in the middle court. There are a few things to announce. Don't get drunk and act crazy."
"There are so many things to do. What's the matter that requires a meeting? Jia Dongxu, you have been notified. Get out of here. You are ruining my appetite by hanging around in front of me."
"You, silly Zhu, speak politely and don't be disrespectful."
Jia Dongxu was so angry that his face turned red and he walked out of the door angrily.
"Brother Zhuzi, you are so tough. Why are you angry with Jia Dongxu, a coward? He is a fool. If things go wrong, he will go to the uncle and exaggerate and say a lot of things. You will cause trouble for yourself." Yu Li agreed.
"Zhu Zi, Damao is right. Why are you talking to him so much? If they want to have a meeting, then just have it. We can just sit at the door and listen. Talking a bunch of nonsense with that shameless family will only do more harm than good."
"Why should I be afraid of him? He's just a show-off. What's there to be afraid of? I just can't stand him pretending to be a leader. If you give him face, he's the manager. If you don't, he's just a neighbor. He has a lot of things to do. He doesn't have any children of his own, but he holds meetings for the compound all day long. What's there to hold meetings for? It's just to show that he's the manager appointed by the street office. Anyway, don't mess with me. If you mess with me, I'll give him a good beating." He Yuzhu drank the cup of wine in a slurp.
As expected, as He Yuzhu said, Yi Zhonghai really showed off his authority as a great man. But he still had some tricks, and he started with a self-criticism.
"Dear neighbors, we are holding an impromptu general meeting today. The first thing is that Banggeng stole the eggs from the Li family yesterday. This matter was indeed not handled properly by Jia Dongxu. Also, because I was not in the courtyard this morning, the handling opinions decided yesterday were not implemented to the end. A small matter became a big matter, and it was eventually reported to the police. I have the responsibility to apologize to everyone here. But then again, this incident also reminds our uncle in charge that the courtyard should never report to the police at every turn. It was originally a very small matter, but now our No. 95 courtyard has been registered with the police station. The impact can be imagined, it is very bad, and it will greatly affect our courtyard's advanced evaluation at the end of the year. So I discussed with the second uncle and the third uncle that in the future, no matter whether it is a big or small matter in our courtyard, it will be solved through the courtyard first. If the courtyard cannot solve it, we will think of other ways. This is especially important."
Before he finished speaking, an unexpected voice raised an objection. Lin, the wife of Li Dongsheng from the Intermediate Court and a staff member of the Street Office, spoke directly.
"Uncle, what you said is not right. Director Wang also received a report from the police station today. The theft of eggs from the Li family by Jia Geng from the Intermediate Court yesterday was actually a very serious matter. If Jia Geng was not a minor, he would have been put in jail. This kind of matter is completely beyond the authority given to you uncles by the Street Office. If similar serious and bad things happen outside the compound in the future, and your uncle also covers up and conceals them because the compound is rated as advanced, I, as a staff member of the Street Office, will not do as you wish. Today, I will also convey some words from Director Wang of our Street Office to you three uncles. Although Jia Geng's theft yesterday was handled at his discretion because of his young age, the adults in his family are responsible for their lax education and inadequate discipline. Director Wang means that he hopes the three uncles will come up with a compound's handling opinions and report them to the Street Office. If similar incidents happen again in the future, the Street Office will deal with them severely. What I want to convey has been conveyed, and then you continue."
Yi Zhonghai was extremely embarrassed, but he couldn't say anything back. This was the intention of the Street Office, he had no right to object, he could only calm down, "Since the Street Office asked us to come up with a solution, I think this is how it should be, punishing Jia Zhang to clean the official toilet at the entrance of the alley for a week. The weather is getting colder and colder, and it's going to freeze. We also need to maintain good hygiene to prevent neighbors from slipping when going to the toilet. Dongxu, this matter is left to you to implement, and your mother must not be lazy, you just heard that the Banggeng matter has been registered with the Street Office."
Jia Dongxu was somewhat reluctant. Originally, the matter was over. His family had already paid a fine of 20 yuan in cash at the police station. But because of this meeting, he had to clean the toilet for another week. He knew that his mother would definitely not go, so this matter had to fall on him. It was frustrating just thinking about it.
However, since his master and godfather said so, he could only bite the bullet and weakly replied, "Oh, I understand."
