Siheyuan, Rainwater is the master, Shazhu wins

Chapter 144: Street Office Investigates the Events of That Year

Her words were like a sharp sword, piercing people's hearts and making people feel a chill.

After Director Wang finished speaking, he looked quietly at the two people in front of him, with a hint of helplessness and determination in his eyes.

Her meaning was very clear: she had made up her mind and hoped that the other party would not cause her any more trouble.

Although she disdains to be a despicable person, when managing her subordinates, she sometimes has to take some measures to ensure the smooth progress of work.

Otherwise, if subordinates are not strictly required, it may not only lead to low work efficiency, but also bring her unexpected troubles.

After hearing what Director Wang said, the two secretaries secretly groaned in their hearts.

They knew Director Wang's character very well. If they hesitated at this moment, it would probably bring even greater trouble.

So they nodded quickly to show that they understood and quickly left the office.

As soon as they walked out of the office, they immediately ordered their staff to thoroughly investigate the matter.

They knew that time was running out and they had to find a solution to the problem as soon as possible to avoid causing Director Wang's dissatisfaction again.

Officer Zhang said sternly, "Go check what happened there! We must know everything that happened in the past 10 years!"

Secretary Liu warned more seriously: "In the past, we could turn a blind eye to these things, but now anyone who dares to turn a blind eye will be fired!"

She then emphasized, "If Director Wang dares to chase us away, we will chase you away first! This is our attitude now!"

Finally, they made it clear: "Remember, the focus is on the major events that happened in this decade, or things that happen frequently but we don't know about them."

The people below nodded to show that they understood, and quickly set out to investigate.

They know very well that if they want to keep their jobs, they must follow their leaders' instructions and get things done.

In this way, an investigation into the past events of the Siheyuan officially began.

After He Yushui returned to the courtyard, he happened to see Qin Huairu washing clothes by the pool in the middle courtyard.

When she saw He Yushui coming back, she knew that he must have gone to see He Yuzhu.

After all, He Yushui can get off work at four o'clock, and it's almost six o'clock now.

So he smiled and asked, "Yushui, are you going to see your brother?"

He Yushui replied casually: "Yes, Sister Qin, you came back early today too."

She was not in the mood to chat with Qin Huairu and just wanted to go home and rest.

Seeing that He Yushui looked tired, Qin Huairu quickly spoke with concern.

"Alas, the children's clothes are all dirty. If I don't wash them, they will have nothing to change into. By the way, Yu Shui, how is your brother?"

He Yushui knew that Qin Huairu wanted to find out about her brother, but she didn't want to tell her too much and just said it lightly.

"Not bad."

Qin Huairu felt a little disappointed when she heard this. She had thought that she could get some good news about He Yuzhu from He Yushui.

But she still insisted, "Did your brother say when he would be back?"

She just wanted to know when the lunch boxes would be delivered again so that she could save her own rations and the children could eat more.

He Yushui understood what he meant, but she didn't intend to tell him that her brother would be able to come out the day after tomorrow.

After all, she didn't want Qin Huairu to have any expectations.

"Sister Qin, I don't know about this yet. Director Wang hasn't given us definite information." She said lightly.

"I'm going back first. I'm tired after a long day."

After He Yushui finished speaking, he turned and left without continuing to talk to Qin Huairu.

She walked into her room, closed the door gently, and then relaxed and lay down on the bed to rest.

Qin Huairu was standing by the pool, looking in the direction of He Yuzhu's house with a heavy heart.

She thought of what happened recently and couldn't help but sigh. "Oh, I didn't expect it to turn out like this. The damn Jia Zhang really screwed me over."

She originally thought that she could marry into the Jia family and live a better life, but now, everything has become so difficult.

An hour passed, and people who worked in the steel mill returned to the courtyard one after another.

At the same time, staff from the street office also appeared in the yard.

Although these people are temporary workers, they also represent the authority of the street office.

They went door to door asking questions. Today they were just doing a simple survey and would start the formal investigation tomorrow.

Tomorrow, the questioning of women and children will be fully launched, and finally the men in the family will be the turn.

This time, they will not let anyone go, even Liu Haizhong, he must answer questions.

If they refuse to answer, it means they have something to hide.

He Yushui never expected that the street office would act so quickly, and the approach they took would be so direct and brutal.

The first house they entered was the Yan family, after all, they were closest to the Yan family’s gate.

At this time, the Yan family was preparing to have dinner, but suddenly saw five people from the street office walked in. Yan Bugui naturally recognized these people because he often went to the street office to do business.

"Why are you guys here today? Is there something going on?

"Yan Bugui asked curiously.

He really couldn't understand why five people suddenly came. Could it be that the street office had some new tasks to arrange?

Or is there something else special?

He couldn't help but wonder in his heart, could it be that something happened in the courtyard that they knew about?

Thinking of this, he felt nervous.

After the five of them looked at each other, they looked at Yan Bugui at the same time and spoke to him seriously.

"We have received reports from the public that there are serious problems with your courtyard. Now I will give you a chance to tell me what you have not reported to the subdistrict office."

One added: “We’re talking about the ones that have been going on for a long time and have been ignored, or deliberately not allowed to spread.”

Another person continued, "You can make amends by telling us now. If we find out the truth ourselves, you will also be punished accordingly."

The last person concluded, "How about this, you think about it first, we'll go to other houses to check out the situation, and when you've made up your mind, write down the details and give them to us, and we'll take them away when we leave."

After saying that, they left quickly and headed towards other homes.

This move undoubtedly told Yan Bugui that they did not completely trust him, and gave him enough time and space to think.

After all, as a scholar, Yan Bugui was also considered a cultured person in the Siheyuan, so they felt that he should be given a certain respect.

However, when they arrived at other homes, the attitudes were completely different.

They were no longer as polite as they were to Yan Bugui, but asked all kinds of questions directly, not giving the other party any chance to breathe.

This suggests that they do not care much about other people and believe that they will not be able to weigh the pros and cons like Yan Bugui does.

This different treatment also reflects their special care for intellectuals.

They went to Yi Zhonghai's house, the home of his former uncle.

They asked the same questions, but in more detail, and asked him what he had dealt with over the years.

Yi Zhonghai's answer was naturally very good and standard. All of his words were good. Not a single one was for himself, but for the people in the yard.

These words may work for ordinary people, but the people in the street office didn't buy it. They wrote down what he said and left.
