Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

When the leader saw that He Yuzhu did not say anything bad about Xu Damao, he immediately had a better impression of him.

The big boss looked at He Yuzhu with a loving gaze, as if he were looking at his son, and said softly, "Comrade He Yuzhu, I heard that in addition to being good at Sichuan cuisine, you are also good at cooking Tan family cuisine?"

He Yuzhu answered truthfully: "Yes, I learned Tan cuisine from my father, and Sichuan cuisine from my master."

"Who is your master?"

"Lu Dahai, the chef of Hongbinlou!"

The big leader said excitedly: "Lu Dahai, I know him, a national cooking master. Comrade He Yuzhu, are you interested in becoming my personal chef?"

Yang Xinmin's heart skipped a beat, and he complained, "All these leaders like to poach my people. The key is that the one who poached him today is his old leader. He really can't refuse. I hope Zhuzi can refuse..."

He Yuzhu did not disappoint him. He was slightly startled, and then said, "Leader, I'm sorry, I still prefer to stay in the steel rolling mill, so that I can serve more people."

Upon hearing this, Yang Xinmin raised the corners of his mouth and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the leader felt a little regretful, he couldn't say much, so he retreated and said, "Then I want to try your food. Can you come to my house to cook?"

He Yuzhu said casually: "Of course no problem, as long as I have time, you can call me anytime."

The big boss was delighted. "It's a deal then. I'll call you when I get hungry. You can't refuse then!"

He Yuzhu said seriously, "Don't worry, leader. I, He Yuzhu, will stick to my word and will never break my promise."

"But, I have a small request."

Hearing this, Yang Xinmin's heart tightened and he angrily said, "He Yuzhu, what are you doing? How can you make requests to your leader?"

The big leader smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Xinmin, it's okay. Comrade He Yuzhu, what do you want? Tell me."

He Yuzhu said calmly, "Leader, this is the case. There is an elderly widow in our hospital. She helped me when I was young, but now she is old and has difficulty walking, so I am taking care of her daily life now."

"So I would like to ask to take a meal home for her every time I come to your place to cook."

After hearing this, the senior leader said cheerfully, "I thought it was some kind of request. It's just a small matter. You don't even need to mention it to me."

He Yuzhu said seriously, "You have to tell me, otherwise it will be just embezzlement, right?"

The senior leader said with admiration: "You are upright, aboveboard, caring for the elderly and the young, and grateful for the help you have given. Comrade He Yuzhu, you really impressed me!"

He Yuzhu said modestly: "Leader, you are too kind. This is just the most basic principle of being a human being."

Yang Xinmin suddenly raised his voice and asked, "Zhu Zi, the lonely old woman you are talking about, is she a deaf old lady?"

He Yuzhu pretended to be surprised and asked, "Director, how did you know that?"

Yang Xinmin said with a little excitement: "Of course I know. Not only did she help you, she was also my savior?"

"Savior?" the big boss exclaimed in surprise.

Yang Xinmin said hurriedly: "Leader, don't you remember? During the War of Liberation, I was on a mission and was shot by enemy spies. I almost lost my life. It was the deaf old lady who saved me..."

The leader suddenly realized, "I remember now. During that mission, there was no news for three months. Everyone thought you had died, but you came back alive."

Yang Xinmin sighed, "I was really close to death that time. If it weren't for the deaf old lady who found a doctor for me and took good care of me, I would have gone to hell long ago."

"After liberation, I had planned to take the deaf old lady to live with me, but she didn't want to cause me trouble and flatly refused."

The senior leader exclaimed: "This deaf old lady is really a kind person who loves to give and does good without expecting anything in return."

Liu Fangchun agreed: "This old lady is of high moral character and has a deep sense of justice. She is admirable!"

He Yuzhu listened and felt a sense of unreality. Is the deaf old lady they were talking about really the deaf old lady I know?

……

Siheyuan.

Xu Damao walked into the front door dejectedly and heard shouting from behind.

"Comrade, please wait a moment!"

Xu Damao turned around and saw that it was a police officer. He couldn't help but panic, "Did someone sue me for sleeping with a widow?"

Xu Damao said in a trembling voice: "Comrade Public Security, what's the matter?"

The police officer smiled and said, "Comrade, don't be nervous. I just want to ask where these two people live."

Xu Damao let out a long sigh and said enthusiastically, "Comrade Gong'an, who do you want to find out about? I have lived in this courtyard for more than 20 years, and there is no one around here that I don't know."

The police explained: "They are either from this neighborhood or from your compound. I am looking for the family of Yan Jiecheng and Zhang Xiaohua."

Xu Damao smiled suddenly, "Comrade Public Security, I'll call you right away!"

"Yan Bugui, Qin Huairu, please come out for a moment. Someone from the police station is here."

Xu Damao had a loud voice and he not only called out Yan Bugui and Qin Huairu, but also called out the neighbors on both sides.

Yan Bugui said anxiously, "Hello, Public Security Comrade! I am Yan Bugui!"

Qin Huairu said timidly: "Hello, Public Security Comrade! I am Qin Huairu."

The police officer nodded slightly and said calmly: "You are the family members of Yan Jiecheng and Zhang Xiaohua."

Yan Bugui quickly responded: "Yes, I am Yan Jiecheng's father."

Qin Huairu blurted out: "I am Zhang Xiaohua's daughter-in-law."

The police officer said sternly, "The verdicts for Yan Jiecheng and Zhang Xiaohua have been announced. Here are their verdicts. Please sign for them."

Yan Bugui took the verdict with doubt, looked at it carefully, his face changed drastically, and he said anxiously: "Comrade Public Security, didn't we already ask for a letter of forgiveness? Why was he sentenced to half a month?"

Qin Huairu agreed, "Yes, the neighbors have signed a letter of understanding, so why does my mother-in-law still have to go to jail? Are you mistaken?"

The police officer said with a serious face: "It's impossible to be wrong. Yan Jiecheng and Zhang Xiaohua had a fight and caused multiple injuries. Fifteen days in prison for each of them is the minimum punishment. If there is no letter of apology, they will be sentenced to at least five years. You should be content!"

Yan Bugui asked anxiously: "Comrade police, will this incident be recorded?"

The police looked at Yan Bugui as if he were an idiot and said calmly, "Is there any need to ask? Of course it will be recorded!"

Yan Bugui was struck by lightning when he heard this, and stammered, "It's over, it's over. Jie Cheng's future job search and marriage will be affected."

The police officer continued, "Yan Bugui and Qin Huairu, you two should bring daily necessities to Yan Jiecheng and Zhang Xiaohua early tomorrow morning. They will be transferred to the detention center tomorrow morning."

After explaining the matter, the police turned around and left the courtyard.
