Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

Captain Shen said with a straight face: "Alright, all of you should stop talking."

"Xiao Wang, you send the prisoner to the hospital first, and the rest of you follow me to the police station to make a statement."

Xiao Wen looked troubled: "Captain Shen, I can't take him to the hospital by myself."

Wu Dezhu said, "Captain Shen, we have a cart in the hospital. We can use it to take him to the hospital."

"However, should we really send a social cancer like this to the hospital? Let him fend for himself."

Captain Shen said seriously: "This is a human life, not some random person. How can we let him die? Even if it is a random person, we can't just stand by and watch him die!"

Wu Dezhu smiled and said, "Captain Shen, you are right. I will go and pull the cart over now."

Captain Shen nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble you."

Wu Debiao smiled and said, "Police and citizens are like one family. What's the problem?"

Captain Shen half-jokingly said, "Comrade, you have a very high level of ideological awareness. After sending the person to the hospital, remember to come to the police station to make a statement."

"Yes!"

Wu Dezhuo pretended to give a military salute.

……

Yang Ruihua prepared lunch and waited for a long time but Yan Bugui did not come back, but the police did come.

"Who are Yan Bugui's family members?"

Yang Ruihua responded hastily: "Comrade Public Security, I am the daughter-in-law of Yan Bugui. May I ask if something happened to my old Yan?"

The police officer was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "You guessed correctly. Yan Bugui is indeed in trouble. He was beaten by angry people and sent to the hospital because of theft. Come with me to the hospital!"

Yang Ruihua was shocked when he heard this, and asked impatiently, "Is he seriously injured?"

"I don't know about that. You'd better ask the doctor."

"I'll go to the hospital with you now."

As soon as Yang Ruihua and the police left, the neighbors in the yard started chatting.

"This Yan Bugui is really going backwards as time goes by. He even started stealing."

"What's so strange about this? He's capable of extortion and fraud, so isn't it normal for him to steal something?"

"Biqi's mother, our courtyard is almost becoming a den of thieves. It's not enough to have the Jia family's grandmother and grandson, and now there's Yan Bugui. Do I still dare to leave my valuables at home?"

"If you have the guts, release it. If you release it today, it might be stolen tomorrow."

"Oh my god! My home isn't safe, where else can I find a safe place?"

"I can't stay in this courtyard anymore. I have to find a way to move."

"Housing is in short supply in Beijing right now. It's good enough to have a place to live. Do you still want to move? If I could move, I would have moved out long ago."

"There are all kinds of monsters in this courtyard. I've wanted to move out for a long time, but I just can't!"

"Hey! They say the environment affects people. If a child lives in this environment, it will be easy for him to grow up in a crooked way."

"Who says it's not true? In order to prevent our children from growing up in the wrong direction, we have no choice but to spend more time on their education."

"This is too passive. How about we find a way to drive the Yi family, the Jia family, and the Yan family out of our compound?"

"Don't be so delusional. The Jia family is easy to deal with. Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui both have the title deeds to the house. We can't evict them at all."

"Then find a way to drive the Jia family out. The Jia family is the biggest cancer in our courtyard. As long as the Jia family is driven out, the atmosphere in our courtyard will at least be improved by half."

"That makes sense. When Zhuzi gets home from get off work, we'll go talk to him about countermeasures."

"Why do we have to go to Zhuzi to discuss this? Can't we just discuss it ourselves?"

"Zhu Zi is the eldest uncle in our courtyard after all. He also has a close relationship with the director of the subdistrict office. If we want to drive the Jia family away, we need him."

"I'm a little worried. Will Zhuzi be willing to drive away the Jia family?"

"Zhu Zi is definitely willing. He has been played around by the Jia family for so many years. I think no one hates the Jia family more than him."

"That's right. With Zhuzi's involvement, there's a better chance of driving the Jia family away."

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Yang Ruihua looked at Yan Bugui, who was covered in wounds on the bed, and burst into tears instantly, gritting his teeth and saying:

"Comrade Public Security, have the criminals who beat my man been caught?"

Captain Shen said sternly, "Comrade Yang Ruihua, I think you have made a mistake. Yan Bugui was beaten because he stole. So the people who beat your man were not criminals, but enthusiastic people who bravely did what was right."

"They don't need to bear any criminal responsibility or civil compensation, so Yan Bugui's medical expenses need to be borne by you yourselves."

"In addition, after Yan Bugui recovers from his illness, he will face criminal detention."

Yang Ruihua said angrily: "Do you still have any humanity? My man has been beaten so badly, and you still want to arrest him and put him in jail?"

Captain Shen said in a deep voice: "Comrade Yang Ruihua, please be careful with your words. Your remarks just now constitute the crime of insulting police officers. Because you are worried about your husband, I will not bother with you this time. I hope you will not do it again."

"In addition, Yan Bugui committed the crime of theft and should be punished by law. We are just acting in accordance with the law."

"Everyone is equal before the law. We cannot show leniency just because he was injured."

Upon hearing this, Yang Ruihua looked as if he had lost his soul. He sat dejectedly beside the bed, wiping his tears.

Captain Shen ignored Yang Ruihua and turned to the police officer next to him and asked:

"Xiao Wen, what did the doctor say?"

Xiao Wen responded, "The doctor said the prisoner's injury is not too serious. It's just a fracture in his right arm. He can go home and recuperate after two days of observation in the hospital."

"Then why is he still in a coma?"

"The doctor said he was malnourished for a long time and had low blood sugar, so he fell into a coma. He will wake up soon."

"Then you stay here for the time being. If anything happens, notify the institute immediately. The institute still has something else to do, so I'll leave first."

"Captain Shen, slow down!"

Just after Captain Shen left for a while, Yan Bugui woke up staggering.

Seeing this, Yang Ruihua was pleasantly surprised and said, "Old Yan, you finally woke up. Where do you feel uncomfortable?"

Yan Bugui said in a muffled voice: "Give me some water!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Ruihua couldn't wait to pour a glass of water for Yan Bugui. Yan Bugui habitually stretched out his right hand to take it, but the pain from his right hand made him gasp.

Yang Ruihua said anxiously: "Old Yan, the doctor said your right hand is broken, let me feed you!"

After Yan Bugui finished drinking the water, his complexion improved a little, and he said in a hoarse voice:

"How long have I been in a coma?"

"It won't take long, just two or three hours."

"You said you were picking up trash, so why did you steal other people's things? Now you are in trouble. Not only was he beaten and sent to the hospital, but he also has to pay for the medical expenses himself and faces a prison sentence."

"Also, everyone in the hospital knows about your theft. I wonder how they will frame us?"

Yang Ruihua's face was gloomy and his tone was full of complaints.
