With Jia Zhang being taken away, the matter came to a temporary end.

Yan Bugui watched He Yuzhu's departing back, clapped his hands, and raised his voice to shout to the people in the backyard.

"Everyone, please disperse! Let's wait for the results of the Jia family's matter, and don't spread it around! If this happens, our courtyard will have a bad reputation."

"Uncle San is right. Everyone should be kind in what they say and not ruin the reputation of our hospital!" Aunt Er chimed in.

Everyone had different thoughts. Seeing that there was nothing fun to watch, they scattered like birds and beasts.

Qin Huairu was extremely anxious. To her, it didn't matter whether Jia Zhang went to jail or not, but in the current situation, the most important thing was how much compensation she had to pay.

She glanced at Banggeng, who was playing carefreely nearby, then turned and walked towards Yan Bugui.

"Uncle, I'd like to trouble you to look after my dog. I'm really worried and need to go to the street office to check on the situation."

Hearing Qin Huairu's request, Yan Bugui exchanged glances with the second aunt. The second aunt quickly stepped back and turned to pick up the quilts in the yard.

"Hey, who is so naive that he put my quilts together?"

Yan Bugui had no choice but to nod in agreement: "Daughter-in-law Dongxu, what you said is quite right. Okay, I'll let my boys keep an eye on Banggeng."

"Thank you very much, Third Uncle. It is safe and secure to have you in our compound."

Qin Huairu praised Yan Bugui, and seeing how happy he was, she turned and walked towards Banggeng.

"Bang Geng, Mom has something to go out for, so you stay in the yard and play obediently, okay?"

Banggeng was busy playing and didn't stay around like other kids. He just turned around, nodded and continued to play.

Qin Huairu then stood up, hurried out of the yard and rushed to the street office.

At this time, at the gate of the street office, He Yuzhu carried Chen Xueru and followed Wang Xia back to the street office.

"Zhu Zi, you have to come again tomorrow morning for this matter." Wang Xia talked with He Yuzhu as they walked.

He Yuzhu turned his head and responded: "Don't bother with that! Just handle it here and let me know the result when the time comes."

During the conversation, several people had already arrived outside Wang Xia's office and three of them walked in.

"Zhuzi, Xueru, you two sit down first." Wang Xia invited them to sit down, walked to the desk and started pouring water.

She walked towards the two men, holding a teacup in her hand: "Zhu Zi, this is how it has come to this. It would be better if I could get you some compensation."

He Yuzhu stood up and took the tea, with a hint of confusion in his eyes: "Auntie Wang, you also know that I don't lack this money."

Wang Xia smiled and pulled a stool over to sit down, talking to the two men face to face: "Zhu Zi, I know you are not short of money. I still remember that you donated hundreds of dollars."

He Yuzhu nodded and sat down, holding a teacup in his hand, waiting for her next words.

Wang Xia glanced at the two of them and said softly, "From the way you are dressed and your figures now, I can tell that you are living a good life. Auntie Wang is not talking nonsense, is she?"

The two smiled at each other and nodded in agreement.

Wang Xia chuckled when she saw this: "Although what Zhang Xiaohua said before was wrong, the people in the yard may think the same way."

She paused and said earnestly, "What is worrying is not the lack of people but the inequality of their living. Nowadays, many families live in one room."

He Yuzhu now understood. He had never experienced this kind of life in his past or present life, so naturally he did not notice these small details.

The courtyard houses today are very different from what they were a few years ago. Except for He Yuzhu's house, all the others are already full.

His house is a large north room, the largest and best house in the whole courtyard. There are two side rooms on the left and right, and the total area is not small.

What's more, there is an east wing and a back room. In comparison, doesn't He Yuzhu become a "rich landlord"?

Wang Xia noticed the change in He Yuzhu's expression and knew that he had come to his senses.

She couldn't help but reveal a look of satisfaction on her face, thinking that this child was really teachable.

"The final punishment for this matter will not be too severe. The specific length of time depends on your attitude."

He Yuzhu nodded thoughtfully in agreement.

Seeing the expression on He Yuzhu's face, Wang Xia reached out and patted his arm: "Punish the past to prevent future mistakes and cure the disease to save people.

She is your neighbor who has watched you grow up. This matter should not be punished severely. If it is too severe, your reputation will be ruined. "

In this era, personal reputation is indeed very important. It may not directly make things happen, but it is enough to ruin things.

Jia Zhang's bad reputation made it difficult for Jia Dongxu to find a wife in the city. When others came to the nearby alley to ask about her, they knew that she was cunning and mean.

That is, Qin Huairu wanted to marry into the city, and with Jia Zhang's quick decision, Jia Dongxu's marriage was arranged.

"Aunt Wang, you are very knowledgeable about human relationships. Thank you for your guidance. I know what to do now." He Yuzhu figured out the details and was very grateful.

Wang Xia smiled and waved her hands: "Alright! Let's not talk about this. The Jia family will probably come to plead for mercy tomorrow, so just wait."

He Yuzhu restrained his smile and said softly, "Auntie Wang, I have an idea. How about you listen to it?"

"Oh? Just tell me, I want to hear what you think." Wang Xia looked at him curiously.

He Yuzhu began to explain his idea: "Can the street office replace the house with a small courtyard? An abandoned one will do. I will pay for the repair myself."

Wang Xia frowned slightly and began to think.

After a while, she nodded slightly: "The current regulations are not very strict, I can change it for you. But if I do this, you will suffer a loss."

"It's okay, I won't live there in the future. That house is a source of trouble just staying there, so it's better to deal with it as soon as possible." He Yuzhu waved his hand, his tone very decisive.

Seeing his determination, Wang Xia was very satisfied: "Great, then you can come here tomorrow with the house deed to handle it."

"Okay, I'll come tomorrow morning." He Yuzhu quickly agreed.

"I'm sorry to bother you with this, Aunt Wang." Chen Xueru said, "I recently bought some fabrics from the Sumeng. Would you like to take a look?"

Wang Xia originally planned to refuse, but when she thought about her son getting married in the second half of the year, she didn't say anything.

Starting with the food coupons from the year before last, cloth now also requires cloth coupons.

Even though they are both cadres, it still takes some effort for them to collect a set of wedding supplies.

Chen Xueru was still talking about the fabric she bought from Big Brother, which she thought was better than the ones on the market, which made her hesitate for a moment.

He Yuzhu saw the hesitation on Wang Xia's face and said loudly, "Aunt Wang, why are you hesitating? This is something Xueru bought with her own money. It's a gift to you as a junior. What's the problem?"

Wang Xia smiled when she heard this. She decided to accept the offer, as she really needed the fabrics.

She took Chen Xueru's hand and said gratefully, "Xueru, thank you both so much. Aunt Wang just needs it, and I'm relieved."

Chen Xueru saw that her gift was just right and smiled happily: "Auntie Wang, you can come to the store when you are free. I am usually in the Chen Silk Shop in Qianmen."

He Yuzhu recognized the voice and asked directly, "Auntie Wang, is there a happy event in your family?"

Wang Xia turned around, smiled and nodded: "Yes, my son is getting married in the second half of the year."

He Yuzhu slapped his thigh and promised: "Oh, if you let me know in advance, I will cook for you and make you proud!"

Wang Xia was delighted to find out that she could also solve the problem of the wedding chef.

"Zhu Zi, I'll take note of that. I've heard about your craftsmanship, and I've made a great harvest this time."

All three of them laughed happily, and the room was filled with a happy atmosphere.

A sudden knock on the door broke the joyful atmosphere and attracted their attention.

Wang Xia shouted loudly: "Come in!"
