Siheyuan: All the birds want to die, I enjoy happiness

Just when Su Xingchen thought that the grain distribution would be completed smoothly, he heard Li Qingning arguing with someone over there. After hearing this, Su Xingchen quickly put down what he was holding and ran over.

"This is not right. You are one family. How can you report two families?" Li Qingning said to the old man's eldest son.

The eldest son was unhappy when he heard what Li Qingning said, "I reported it like this, and the street office didn't say anything. You are a food distributor, so why do you say you won't give it to me? We have a large family, so what's wrong with me asking for more food? Don't be so fussy, just give me the food quickly. It's not yours, why are you so fussy?" After hearing what the eldest son said, some people in the yard nodded. Everyone knew that the old man had a large family, so it wouldn't matter if he asked for more food, right?

"Comrade, this is what the manager of your yard reported. The street office didn't have time to check because of the urgency of the matter. They completely trusted the manager. They will definitely investigate after the natural disaster is over. Now this is my job. I need to be responsible for this batch of grain. This grain is indeed not mine, but it belongs to the collective." How could Li Qingning not recognize that this is the son of the old man? Is he taking advantage of the collective here? He is so bold. I don't know how such a person can become a manager.

Hearing this, many people dared not say anything, because when the street office asked for population reporting, the old man went door to door and said it was okay to report one more person, and that you could get more food if you reported one more person. Many people in the courtyard could not stand the old man's provocation, and they all reported more people, and accordingly received one or more more rations. Now that they were told that they would check it later, they dared not say anything. Now they were all in trouble, so who dared to say anything?

But he didn't expect that the family of the old man's eldest son was completely greedy. They directly fabricated a family out of thin air and received several more rations. Li Qingning saw that something was wrong at first glance. In fact, it was the eldest son's fault for not being smart. If his wife had registered and then collected the food herself, she wouldn't have noticed. Who asked him to register twice? Li Qingning thought he had remembered it wrong at first, but after flipping through the book, he found that it was the eldest son who was impersonating to collect the food. If he didn't know, he wouldn't say anything, but since he already knew, it was impossible for him to give it to him.

"What's wrong, Qingning?" Su Xingchen didn't know what had happened. He walked over and looked at Li Qingning and said.

"Their family of six has already received food, but who would have thought that they would make up another family in this yard out of nowhere and come to get food again." When Li Qingning saw Su Xingchen coming, she immediately felt confident. Just now, when she saw her eldest son's angry look, she was really a little scared.

"Oh? Why did you claim it falsely? Why should your family receive more? Do you know that this is embezzlement of collective assets? If they find out, you'll be sent to the police station. The street office will also report it to your unit. Think about it carefully!" Su Xingchen said, looking at his eldest son.

"Hey, kid, who are you trying to scare? You're going to arrest me for a few pounds of grain? This is just a small matter. Isn't it the same for everyone? Why are you picking on me?" The eldest son got furious when he heard this. Arrest me? Who's afraid of whom? I'm not afraid of you. I don't believe you can arrest me for taking a little extra grain. Besides, he's not the only one who took extra things in this yard. The law doesn't hold everyone responsible. At most, he should return the grain. What else can he do?

"Is everyone like this? According to you, is there anyone else in your courtyard who also received extra money?" As he spoke, Su Xingchen turned his gaze to the crowd.

Sure enough, when Su Xingchen looked at the crowd, many people who were queuing and standing by with food in their hands were at a loss. Although they knew that they only received a little more food and it was not as serious as their eldest son, it would be a different matter if the street office reported it to the unit. By then, even if they had a stain, they would basically have no chance of advancement or promotion. There was no way. First of all, you have serious moral problems. Who would choose to employ you? Su Xingchen couldn't help but sneer when he saw the performance of the crowd.

"What's your business? Listen up, this guy just wants to embezzle our food. When the time comes, we just need to insist that he is the one who didn't give us food, and this guy will be finished. Don't be afraid of him!" The eldest son stepped forward and said. Anyway, he didn't have a unit and was just a scoundrel. Why would he be afraid of these? If the matter gets out of hand, who knows what will happen. At most, they will be punished with fifty lashes. But he didn't know that Su Xingchen was not from the street office. He was not afraid of accidents like others. Besides, Liu Xiaoyan and Aunt Wang were here. What's there for him to be afraid of? At worst, he could ask Xu Tian or Wang Gou for help.

Su Xingchen couldn't help but feel helpless when he thought of this. There was nothing he could do. Now he was just a student and could only rely on others. Once he started working, he probably wouldn't have to do this anymore.

Some people in the courtyard were encouraged by the eldest son, while others hesitated. At most, they had received too much food. It would be fine to return it now. It would be bad if they wrongly accused others and were found out. It was unnecessary to take such a big responsibility for a mouthful of food. Besides, this was the old man's family's business. Why did they get involved? They didn't say that they had a problem. After thinking this through, many people were ready to return the food later. Those who had not received the food were ready to receive it according to the population when they received it later.

"Ahem, young comrade, I think you should leave the things here and go. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be embarrassing for you, and you won't be able to report back to the street office." At this time, the old man walked out of the house slowly. He didn't expect that Su Xingchen really had no sense at all. This was pure suicide. He hoped that he could have some sense this time and quickly put down the food and leave.

If it were someone else, they would definitely make a big deal out of a small matter and leave quickly, since the things they lost were not theirs anyway. The street office might not say anything, as it was better to have less trouble than more, but there was nothing they could do. The person who came was Su Xingchen, so how could he agree to this?

"I say, could it be that you, the manager, bought it? Well, there are so many courtyard houses that the street office can't choose from them all. It's inevitable that there will be scum like you. A big scum gave birth to two little scums, then it's a group of scums." Su Xingchen heard the old man's words and walked up to him and said with disdain.
