Golden Color Xiangjiang: A Young Man's Dream in a Siheyuan

The subdistrict office had to take into consideration those who were working, so they decided to wait until after get off work to announce the result of Yi Zhonghai's trial.

But it is different for the steel rolling mill. They have long been fed up with the influence brought by Yi Zhonghai, especially Director Yang. He has been scolded by senior leaders many times because of Yi Zhonghai's affairs recently, and it has already affected his career.

Especially when Yi Zhonghai shouted at the trial that he wanted to see Yang Weimin, it made the situation even worse. It was estimated that if Director Yang failed to achieve amazing results, he would be welded to death in the steel mill for the rest of his life.

Now that the verdict on Yi Zhonghai has come out, Director Yang directly handed the notice to the head of the Propaganda Department and asked him to broadcast it as it is.

Soon the steel mill's radio started to sound.

"Hello, hello, fellow workers, good morning! I'm going to broadcast an announcement to everyone now."

The announcer's voice spread throughout the factory and soon attracted the attention of all the workers.

"Our steel mill received a ruling from the Dongcheng District Intermediate People's Court that Yi Zhonghai resold the work positions of He Yuzhu and Zhao Jiefang, and appropriated Zhao Jiefang's pension and He Yushui's living expenses.

The notice is as follows:

"Yi Zhonghai was sentenced to death according to law and deprived of his political rights for life. The death penalty will be executed in a week.

Starting from tomorrow until the day before the execution, Yi Zhonghai will be paraded through the streets every morning for public display.

I hope that all employees will take this as a warning, strictly abide by laws and regulations, and jointly safeguard the interests and image of the factory."

"..."

"..."

Say the important thing three times.

After the broadcast, someone from the Propaganda Department took Yi Zhonghai's verdict and the route of his parade and posted them on the factory bulletin board.

The Propaganda Department did not broadcast the accompanying civil compensation, in order to prevent more people from paying attention to them. In this day and age, if it is a large sum of money, it is hard to guarantee that no one will not be tempted.

After hearing this broadcast, everyone in the steel mill fell silent. Although they despised Yi Zhonghai's scumbag behavior, they found it hard for everyone to accept that he was suddenly sentenced to death.

But this was only a momentary confusion, and after a while, people started applauding.

At this point everyone has really reacted. In this day and age, people die every day, let alone a scum like Yi Zhonghai. His death does not deserve a pity at all.

Fortunately, he still has to be paraded through the streets for several days, so everyone can go and vent their anger.

At this time, Jia Dongxu couldn't help but sigh how wise it was to separate from Yi Zhonghai in time. If he continued to be entangled, it would probably have a negative impact on him.

As long as he can hold out through this year, he will be able to take the technician level assessment in May next year.

However, during this period, since he lost the support of Yi Zhonghai, Jia Dongxu had to start learning skills from other senior fitters.

He was surprised to find that the knowledge and skills they taught were completely different from those taught by Yi Zhonghai.

Finally, Jia Dongxu plucked up the courage to find a level 6 fitter with whom he had a good relationship and confided his doubts to him.

Unexpectedly, the other party had already seen through that Yi Zhonghai deliberately suppressed Jia Dongxu and prevented him from learning proper techniques, and told Jia Dongxu all these things.

Originally, although Yi Zhonghai was only a seventh-level fitter, he had already mastered the skills of an eighth-level fitter.

In addition, he has Director Yang as his backstage support. Therefore, most people are not willing to offend Yi Zhonghai because of Jia Dongxu.

More importantly, Jia Dongxu himself was not a good person. He relied on Yi Zhonghai's protection all day long and had a bad attitude towards others. As a result, naturally no one was willing to lend a hand to help him.

On the contrary, everyone just took a spectator's attitude towards Jia Dongxu's experience, and some even secretly applauded him in private.

If Jia Dongxu had not made a lot of changes recently and Yi Zhonghai was not in the workshop, this level 6 worker would not have been willing to pay any attention to Jia Dongxu.

Therefore, after learning that Yi Zhonghai was sentenced to death, Jia Dongxu was happier than most people. If it were not for Yi Zhonghai, he would now be at least a third-level worker, with a monthly salary of thirty or forty yuan. He would not be like he is now, asking his wife to ask other men for food.

The more Jia Dongxu thought about it, the angrier he got, so he put down the work in his hands and prepared to go out for some fresh air.

As soon as Jia Dongxu walked out of the workshop, he saw people from the Propaganda Department posting something on the bulletin board outside the workshop. Driven by curiosity, Jia Dongxu quickly walked forward to check.

The piece of paper directly above contains the court's verdict on Yi Zhonghai, while the piece of paper below contains the time and route map for Yi Zhonghai's upcoming parade.

Jia Dongxu had always wanted to vent his anger, and now the opportunity had come, so he immediately noted down the two days closest to the steel mill and the courtyard, and prepared to give Yi Zhonghai a good beating when the time came.

Of course, with such a good thing happening, he naturally couldn't forget his brothers. Jia Dongxu hurried back to the workshop and told everyone about the parade route map.

Now, everyone put down the work in their hands and ran outside to check.

Jia Dongxu ran to the third canteen. He had to quickly inform Sha Zhu of the news. Now they were comrades-in-arms, after all, they had both been cheated by Yi Zhonghai.

Moreover, if the Jia family wants to avoid being bullied by others in the Siheyuan, they cannot do without Sha Zhu as a strong supporter.

"Zhu Zi, are you busy?" Jia Dongxu's voice arrived before he even showed up.

When Sha Zhu heard that it was Jia Dongxu calling him, he quickly put down the kitchen knife and left the kitchen.

"What's wrong, Brother Dongxu? Why are you coming to the kitchen to see me so early? Is there something wrong?"

"Zhu Zi, don't ask anything now, just follow me first."

After saying that, Jia Dongxu took Sha Zhu to the bulletin board outside the cafeteria and pointed to the parade route map to show Sha Zhu.

"Zhu Zi, what do you think of this?"

Sha Zhu's thoughts are not as serious as Jia Dongxu's. He has been brainwashed so severely by Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady that he is particularly alienated from the family relationship with He Yushui and He Daqing.

Even though he knew that it was Yi Zhonghai who sold his work station and withheld He Yushui's living expenses, his resentment towards Yi Zhonghai gradually weakened with the passage of time.

I guess this is what Sha Zhu thought in his heart. Although Yi Zhonghai sold the work station left for him by He Daqing, didn’t he help him find a job later?

What Yi Zhonghai embezzled was the living expenses that He Daqing sent to He Yushui, which had little to do with him.

In fact, to be honest, the hardships Sha Zhu suffered back then were far less than what He Yushui endured. Even during the two most difficult years for the two siblings, Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady would often give Sha Zhu food.

Although he didn't have enough to eat, he never fainted from hunger. As for He Yushui, no one really cared about him. When he was hungry, he could only drink water to fill his stomach. If it weren't for the help from Zhou Jin's parents, he would have died long ago.

After Sha Zhu started working at the steel mill, He Yushui didn't have a few good years and started to suffer from hunger and cold again.

Therefore, Sha Zhu's hatred for Yi Zhonghai is far less than that for He Yushui, not to mention the brainwashing of the deaf old lady.

Now seeing Jia Dongxu's expression, Sha Zhu knew that he wanted to take advantage of Yi Zhonghai's parade to take revenge.

But this is exactly what Sha Zhu couldn't understand. In Yi Zhonghai's mind, Jia Dongxu was his own son. The monthly financial support never stopped, and there were two donation conferences a year, all of which were given to Jia Dongxu.

But why did his hatred now seem to be even greater than his own? Thinking about it, Sha Zhu's eyebrows unconsciously frowned.

When Jia Dongxu saw Sha Zhu's look, he didn't know what he was thinking, so he pulled Sha Zhu to an abandoned small warehouse.

That’s right, it was the small warehouse where Qin Huairu later exchanged steamed buns for steamed buns in the steel mill.

"Zhu Zi, what was that expression on your face just now? Do you have any questions?"

"Brother Dongxu, I really don't understand. The uncle was so good to you before, but now he has been sentenced to death. Why do you act as if there is a deep hatred between you two?"

Hearing that Sha Zhu was confused about this, Jia Dongxu felt relieved and found a place to sit down.

"Zhu Zi, what you said is true. In order to let me take care of him in his old age, Yi Zhonghai has been very kind to my family and has often helped us.

But I could have earned those things by myself, and I don’t need his help at all.”

Sha Zhu was a little confused when he heard this. He didn't understand what Jia Dongxu wanted to say.

"Brother Dongxu, what do you mean? I don't quite understand."

"Zhu Zi, I just realized recently that my work level has not been promoted. It's not because I'm stupid and can't learn, but because Yi Zhonghai has no intention of teaching me well.

The techniques he taught me before were all for level 6 and level 7 workers. You say I'm a level 1 worker, and he taught me such difficult techniques. Do you think I can learn it?"

Sha Zhu was a little surprised. The more he listened, the more confused he became. He had no idea what Yi Zhonghai's purpose was in doing this.

"Ah, Brother Dongxu, why is this happening?"

"Why else? He just doesn't want me to get promoted. If that happens, my salary won't increase and I'll have to rely on him for relief. Basically, I'm putting my whole family's lives in Yi Zhonghai's hands.

As long as he was slightly dissatisfied, he would cut off support for my family. My salary was not enough to support the whole family, so in the end I had no choice but to bow to Yi Zhonghai.

He used this to keep a tight control over my family. A few days ago, I secretly asked a level 6 worker, and he told me that the first three levels of fittership are not difficult at all.

As long as the master teaches you the correct methods and techniques and you practice more often, you can be promoted to a third-level worker within five years. That's almost a 100% success rate. If you have a little more talent, it won't be difficult to reach a fourth-level worker within five years.

Yi Zhonghai asked me to use those difficult techniques, which not only prevented me from learning useful techniques and upgrading, but also undermined my self-confidence, making me feel like a waste, and gradually I became complacent and lost the motivation to make progress.

And I was indeed under Yi Zhonghai's control before, but God has eyes, Yi Zhonghai has done so many bad things that he has finally been punished.

I also got to know the truth, so I must take revenge on him before he dies."

After listening to Jia Dongxu's words, Sha Zhu finally understood why Jia Dongxu hated Yi Zhonghai even more than he did.
