Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

The result of the handling of the deaf old lady was that Director Wang announced the identity of the deaf old lady. She was an ordinary widowed old lady in the old city. Her children all died in the war in the early years. After the founding of Longguo, she took the initiative to donate some of her family’s houses and properties to the government. The government saw that she was a widow, so it gave her the status of a five-guarantee household.

Director Wang also reiterated that the deaf old lady was not a relative of a martyr, and had never donated any straw sandals to the Red Army. This was pure fabrication. Under normal circumstances, the deaf old lady's five-guarantee treatment should have been revoked. However, considering that she had made some contributions to the government in the past, her five-guarantee status was retained this time. Otherwise, I am afraid that this lonely old lady would starve to death soon, which would be too inhumane.

Of course, the public security department also took these reasons into consideration. After interrogation, they decided to detain the deaf old lady for 15 days and hand her over to the street office for serious criticism and education, and to supervise her.

That is to say, if nothing unexpected happens, the deaf old lady will be released in fifteen days. Director Wang asked Yan Bugui and the residents in the yard to supervise the deaf old lady together. If she still tries to abuse her age and status in the yard in the future, the street office will never tolerate her and will definitely cancel her five-guarantee benefits.

As for the Jia family mother and son, Liu Haizhong's three sons, and He Yuzhu, the subdistrict office will not make a decision on how to deal with them for the time being. It will depend on the results of the public security department's handling, and then follow up with additional punishments.

Director Wang also reiterated that the residents in the courtyard must respect the martyrs and their families. No one is allowed to bully the families of martyrs like Lin Geng. If similar situations occur again, the street office will never tolerate them and will definitely punish them with the most severe means.

Director Wang even went so far as to publicly apologize to Lin Geng on behalf of the neighborhood office. He reflected on himself and said that it was because they had not been serious enough in their previous work that Lin Geng suffered such a great injustice, and he begged Lin Geng to forgive them.

Lin Geng also quickly stood up and reiterated that he absolutely did not blame the leaders and staff of the street office. It was not their fault, but the fault of Yi Zhonghai and others. He also expressed his sincere gratitude to Director Wang and others for their concern and care.

Director Wang was even more pleased with Lin Geng's public statement, and he admired Lin Geng even more. He felt that Lin Geng was indeed a good guy and he liked him very much in his heart.

The meeting did not last long. Director Wang and his colleagues came here today mainly to show their attitude in the yard. After all, the matter is not over yet, so they cannot make a final punishment decision for the time being, but they have to show their attitude first.

After the meeting, Director Wang, Deputy Director Zhou and Aunt Liu went to Lin Geng's house again, and temporarily asked Aunt One, Aunt Two and Qin Huairu to wait outside.

After entering Lin Geng's house, Lin Geng found a few benches for them to sit down and poured them a glass of boiled water. At the moment, he didn't even have tea at home, so they could only make do with this for the time being.

Director Wang took out fifty yuan from his pocket, along with a thick stack of coupons, and handed them to Lin Geng, saying, "Our Subdistrict Office is indeed to blame for your experience this time, so after our meeting today, we unanimously decided that the Subdistrict Office will give you fifty yuan in consolation money and some coupons to make up for the grievances you have suffered! I hope you won't hesitate to accept them!"

Seeing that Director Wang was very sincere, Lin Geng did not make too many polite refusals. He stood up and bowed to Director Wang and the others solemnly, and said, "Thank you Director Wang and the leaders of the subdistrict office for your care and love. In this case, I will not be polite. In the future, I will definitely promise to work hard and contribute to the construction of the country! Be a good young man! Never let down the leaders of the subdistrict office! And never bring shame to my parents. Please supervise me!"

The slogan of this era must be shouted, it is very important. Lin Geng is not stupid at all, so he spoke very beautifully, which made Director Wang and others very satisfied, and their eyes were full of appreciation.

However, Lin Geng also noticed that Director Wang, Deputy Director Zhou, and Aunt Liu seemed to be hesitant to speak, as if they had something else to say but were too embarrassed to speak. So he changed his mind and understood their little thoughts.

After all, he had worked as a small leader in a large company in his later life. Doing business inevitably involved dealing with people, and he had learned a lot of details. He wouldn't dare say that he was very good at dealing with people, but at least he could see things clearly and think clearly.

So Lin Geng sat down, put the money in his pocket, and said with a smile: "Director Wang, Deputy Director Zhou, Aunt Liu! Do you have anything else to say? There are only a few of us here, and you are all my elders. If you have anything to say, just say it directly!

There are only four of us today. Once we leave this door, I won’t remember anything!”

Director Wang and Deputy Director Zhou looked at each other and saw a hint of surprise and joy in each other's eyes. So Director Wang winked at Deputy Director Zhou, who gave Director Wang a knowing look in return. Aunt Liu, with a look of guilt on her face, sat aside in silence.

All of their micro-expressions and movements were seen by Lin Geng, which further confirmed his previous thoughts and he waited for them to speak.

Deputy Director Zhou looked a little embarrassed, so he coughed and said to Lin Geng: "Xiao Lin! This time we really have something to discuss with you!

What I am going to say next does not represent the Street Office, it is just a private conversation between us and you!

What you said just now shows that you have already guessed something, so I will tell you the truth on our behalf!

We also know that you have indeed suffered a great deal of injustice in this matter. As the street office, we are also very angry and want to drag Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and others to eat peanuts.

As for this matter, we do bear certain management responsibilities. We were negligent and not serious enough, which led to us being deceived by Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong. It can be said that we bear an unshirkable responsibility!

So, although we all know that you must be very angry, we understand this very well because we are as angry as you!

But, as you may have guessed, this matter is not likely to be a big deal. You should have guessed the reason, so I won’t explain it in detail!

This time we came here just to ask for your opinion, to see if you can give us some face this time, and not pursue Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong too much!

Of course, we are not telling you to just let it go. That is not what we mean. We are just thinking that you are alone now and have not had time to inherit your mother's job. You still have to make a living, get married and have children. Instead of sending them to jail, it is better to ask them to make some compensation to you!

In this way, your life will be more affluent in the future, which is better than sending them to prison or letting the government take them to target practice!

Also, as the saying goes, it is better to resolve a feud than to create one. After all, you will still live in this compound in the future. Even if you send them to jail, they still have their families living in the same compound with you, and you will inevitably see them often in the future, which will create a big feud!

So we thought, since you have been wronged in this matter, how about asking them to make a certain amount of compensation, giving them a letter of understanding, and then just letting the matter go?

Of course, we have absolutely no intention of forcing you today, we are just discussing with you! If you don't want to, then just pretend we didn't say anything today!

If you are willing, then when they come out in the future, we will strengthen supervision over them and never allow them to cause you any trouble again. If they dare to cause you any trouble again, you should notify us immediately and we will definitely take care of it for you! We will never let them off easily!

If you have any problems in the future and need our help, don't worry, as long as it does not violate the principles, we will do our best to help you!"
