Siheyuan: Banggeng and I are classmates

Director Wang coldly broke free of her hand and said, "Our subdistrict office cannot make the decision on divorce matters. You have to discuss it among yourselves."

"I disagree!"

He Daqing stood up and refused, then said: "Chief Zhang of the police station said that I was serving my sentence and that the traitor was just recording my past identity. The government will not hold me accountable in the future. Was what I said, Director Wang, correct?"

Director Wang nodded, and then said: "Comrade He Daqing, don't worry, I know your contributions and merits. In the future, our subdistrict office will not treat you differently from any other neighborhood because of your identity as a traitor."

After getting Director Wang's affirmation, He Daqing looked at He Zhang and said, "Then I don't understand. The government says that I am a good traitor who made meritorious contributions while serving my sentence. Why do you still look down on my father and me?"

After hearing this, He Zhang's face turned red and green.

What a traitor, what a ghost!

Do you really think that Zhang Cuihua is stupid? If He Daqing is a good traitor, can the country take his house?

Besides, even if there was no traitor, she would have wanted to divorce He Daqing a long time ago, so she cried again: "Director Wang, I want to divorce him too. He abuses me and beats me with a belt for no reason!"

"Really? He Daqing, did you really abuse Comrade Zhang Cuihua?"

In response to Director Wang's question, He Daqing shook his head, then looked at the neighbors around him and said, "Neighbors, I've been back in the compound for more than a month. Have you seen me beating my wife?"

"no!"

Everyone hesitated and said, "That shouldn't be considered domestic violence, right?..."

He Zhang was so angry when she heard this that she felt as if her ancestral grave had been dug up. She howled again, "You are all such black-hearted beasts. Every time that dog traitor beat me up, you all came to watch the fun. Now you can actually lie and say that he didn't beat me!"

After cursing the neighbor He Zhang, she turned to look at Director Wang and began to unbutton her cotton jacket.

"Director Wang, I'm going to take off my clothes for you to see. My wounds haven't healed yet. Once you see them, you'll know how that traitorous dog beat me!"

Director Wang hurriedly grabbed He Zhang who was taking off her clothes. Taking off clothes in public was no joke. Director Ma also hurried forward to help restrain Zhang Cuihua.

"Yan Bugui, you are the boss of the hospital. Tell me whether He Daqing actually abused Zhang Cuihua."

"this--"

Director Wang spoke, and Yan Bugui had to stand up no matter how embarrassed he was. He saw the pleading eyes of the neighbors. If it weren't for He Daqingyuan, it would not have been so peaceful.

He also thought it was a good thing to have He Daqing in charge of the He Zhang family.

But He Zhang was indeed beaten several times by He Daqing. It was not easy for him, as an uncle, to lie in public, especially to Director Wang. Yan Bugui scratched his head and his eyes lit up.

"If you ask me, rather than saying that the old sister-in-law was abused, it's better to say that Lao He was teaching her a lesson. I think that's right. What do you think, neighbors?"

Throw the topic to the neighbors, and they all start talking at once.

"Old He was right to beat Zhang Cuihua. Before, she loved to throw tantrums and curse this and that. Now that He Daqing can control her, she has become much cleaner than before..."

Before the voice on this side fell, another voice on the other side shouted: "Director Wang, if He Daqing's teaching He Zhangshi a lesson is considered domestic violence, then she should be paraded in the streets for abusing Huairu, a good daughter-in-law..."

"That's right. We've wanted to beat her for a long time..."

Everyone was talking at once, but no one said anything good about He Zhangshi. Director Wang narrowed his eyes at He Zhangshi and threatened her, "Did you see? This is the voice of the masses."

"They have been your neighbors for decades. He Daqing has only been back for a few days. Just imagine how much you have been hated by them for your past behavior!"

After a few words, Director Wang threatened: "Zhang Cuihua, I know your past performance very well. From now on, you should live peacefully with He Daqing!"

"If you dare to mention divorce again, I will listen to the neighbors and parade you through the streets!"

As soon as Director Wang finished speaking, He Zhang's heart skipped a beat and she fell to the ground, unable to stand.

"Woooooo~~"

Just as she started to sob and put her hands on her eyes, before she had time to cry out, He Zhang caught a glimpse of He Daqing's eyes, which were so cold that her heart trembled again.

"Daqing, I said divorce because I want to do good for Banggeng. He can't be a traitor in the future. If he becomes a traitor, how can he get into high school and college..."

He Zhang said flatteringly as she stood up. She walked dejectedly to He Daqing and took his arm affectionately, but was slapped away by He Daqing.

"Humph!"

Director Wang was also quite surprised when he saw this scene, and thought to himself that the recent rumors were true. He Zhang was indeed completely subdued by He Daqing.

"Don't worry about Banggeng going to college. The police station and I will provide explanation materials during the political review. As long as he can get into college, it's fine!"

He Daqing had been ignoring Zhang Cuihua who was trying to say nice things to her. When she heard Director Wang say this, Zhang Cuihua quickly smiled and turned away.

"Director Wang, you are truly a great lady. Our neighborhood is blessed to have you—"

Director Wang waved his hand dismissively, then looked at Yan Bugui: "I have already informed you of the matter. I don't want one less person to go to the execution ground on Saturday."

"There are more than 800 families in our alley who have been implicated by you. At least one person from each family must go and observe."

"Humph!"

After Director Wang finished speaking, he snorted coldly, left the three old men behind and walked straight to the front yard.

"Director Wang, don't worry. If you need a neighbor, just take the three of us..." Yan Bugui smiled as he escorted Director Wang out of the compound.

Yan Lao Hu was not around, so Xu Damao took the opportunity to jump out, put his hands behind his back and lowered his voice to pretend to be calm and said: "Everyone heard that. No one can be left behind at the execution ground on Saturday..."

At this point in the conference, no one was paying attention to the stage. Xu Damao was speaking some profound truths on the stage, and everyone's eyes were on He Daqing.

What a traitor, who can believe this?

Considering that Sha Zhu hadn't been to work at the steel mill for more than a month, everyone guessed that Chef Sha Zhu had lost his job. It was so strange for him to find a job with the identity of a traitor!

Now that the main house was gone, the family of seven lived in the old Jia house, and Qin Huairu's salary of 27 yuan was the only one to support the whole family.

Everyone shook their heads just thinking about it. How can they live like this?

He Daqing, who was being watched by everyone, was confident and full of hope for his new life in the future.

In his opinion, even if Sha Zhu really couldn't find a job, he was confident that he could make ends meet relying solely on Qin Huairu's salary of 27 yuan and the three of them finding odd jobs here and there. He had calculated the economic account.

It's just that life is a little harder.

As for Li Muhua, when he heard that He Daqing and Sha Zhu were labeled traitors, he had silently sentenced the He family to death.

Good traitor?

Li Muhua is afraid that if He Daqing explains it this way next year, the young players will laugh their baby teeth off. After they put on the red armbands, they won't listen to any explanation.

A lot of people had their reasons but didn't speak up, let alone the traitors whose identities were confirmed.
