Siheyuan: Fighting against the beasts under the pressure of the system

Only people nearby could hear Jia Zhang's low mumbling.

When they heard Jia Zhang say that she was an honest person, several people subconsciously grinned and wanted to laugh, but considering that the occasion was not right, they held back their smiles.

As a result, his face looked half-smile, distorted and somewhat hideous.

Director Wang walked quickly over from the Moon Gate, and he never stopped talking.

"Look at you all, what have you become? You are all neighbors living in the same yard."

"What do you guys want to do by surrounding Old Liu's family? Tell me!"

No one dared to respond to Director Wang's question, but they were reluctant to let everyone go, so many people's eyes were focused on Jia Zhang.

Jia Zhang was aware that she was being stared at by everyone, but she had no intention of being the first to take action. She knew clearly what she could do and what she could not do.

Seeing that no one spoke, Director Wang's face looked better.

"Okay, since no one else is talking, I'll speak for you."

"Do you want the Liu family to compensate for your losses?"

The women on the field were a little agitated, but no one spoke. They were ready to listen to Director Wang's opinion.

"This matter is not going to work. The two uncles in charge have been sentenced by the police station. The matter has been concluded. The mistakes of each family will be borne by your own family."

"If anyone harasses the Liu family and the Yan family again because of this matter, the neighborhood office will send people to take you away and punish you."

Director Wang's words made these people feel a little unwilling, but there was nothing they could do as the deterrent power of the street office was still very strong.

The street offices in the 50s had great power; weddings, funerals, and employment were all arranged by the street offices.

The street office in this era is equivalent to a small government.

"Okay, let's all go! I have to go back and take care of some things. I will hold a meeting for your hospital in the evening."

After saying that, he left in a hurry with the people from the street office.

Jia Zhang's face was ugly, she was furious because she couldn't get the compensation back, and she grumbled unwillingly.

"You bastards, you are a bunch of damned bastards, bullying my Jia family!"

Seeing that they were not going to come back to compensate, the women dispersed in twos and threes, but they had nothing nice to say and even made sarcastic remarks about the second and third aunts.

When the second aunt saw that everyone had dispersed, the tension in her heart was relieved and she slumped to the ground.

As soon as the third aunt saw the second aunt sitting on the ground, she hurried forward to help the second aunt up, sent her into the house, and said some warm words.

Now the two families are in the same boat and need to support each other.

Being targeted by everyone in the yard, life is very painful. Things will only get better after the head of the family comes back.

Having been the managers for so many years, the second and third uncles still have a certain deterrent power.

.....

When Zhang Minghui returned to the courtyard, half a day had passed.

No one mentioned this embarrassing thing.

Zhang Minghui felt better after taking a nap in the car, but his face was still a little pale and he still had some pains in his head from time to time, like being pricked by needles.

There was no choice but to go home and lie down to rest.

I slept until the day after get off work at the factory in the evening, and when I woke up I felt that I had basically recovered my energy.

When I heard the chirping sounds outside the yard, I knew that the neighbors had all returned from get off work.

After a while, Zhang Minghui, who was lying on the bed and had not yet tidied up, received a notice to go to the Intermediate Court for a meeting. Director Wang of the Street Office had something to announce.

When Zhang Minghui arrived at the central courtyard, he saw that almost everyone in every household had arrived.

Director Wang was sitting on a chair and communicating with two comrades from the street office.

After waiting for a while and seeing that everyone was present, Director Wang also stood up.

"You all know what's going on, without me having to tell you. We are convening a full-house meeting today to announce a few things."

"First: Remove Yan Fugui and Liu Haizhong from their positions as managers. When they return, they will go to the subdistrict office for education and be punished by sweeping the streets for one month."

"No. 95 Yard will no longer have a manager."

Director Wang really has lost confidence in this courtyard. There is no good person in this courtyard. It is unreliable to set up a manager. It is better not to set up one!

When the neighbors in the courtyard heard that the manager had been dismissed, they had no objections.

After such a big incident, the neighbors had a lot of resentment towards both families and were blaming them.

Only the second and third aunts looked a little disappointed. Their hearts were full of complicated feelings.

Later, he heard that there was some commotion in Courtyard 95 because there was no manager, so Old Sun from the backyard plucked up the courage to ask.

"Director Wang, if we don't appoint a manager in the future, who can we turn to if something happens in our hospital?"

This was also the thought of the neighbors in the courtyard, and they all stared at Director Wang.

Director Wang said seriously.

"That's what I'm going to say next. Your hospital was poorly managed before. Now our street office will hold a meeting to make a decision."

"Old Zhang, who works at the subdistrict office, will temporarily serve as the manager of your yard. He lives in Yard 92. If you have any problems in the future, you can go to him."

Director Wang had just finished speaking.

A middle-aged man in his 40s stood out from the staff of the street office. He had a square face, sharp eyes and an upright posture. The only regret was that he was missing an arm.

Everyone is very familiar with this person. He was a retired soldier. I heard that there was a good job arranged for him, but he refused it and took the initiative to work in the street office, wanting to serve the public.

I have worked in the subdistrict office for many years. Occasionally, I would come to No. 95 Courtyard to read out notices from the subdistrict office.

Seeing familiar people, everyone stopped complaining and the venue became temporarily quiet.

"Second, there is a punishment for the neighbors who make mistakes. They have to go to the street office at night to study for one month and receive education."

The neighbors below groaned after hearing this. They were already tired from working every day, and they still had to study at night. They all felt uncomfortable.

Seeing the commotion below, Director Wang didn't hold back and started shouting loudly.

"Why are you howling? This is the lesson you deserve. You still have the nerve to complain. You should have thought about this when you made the mistake."

"Since this is your first offense, I'm giving you a chance. If you follow my way, you'll have to learn for three months and you must correct your bad habits."

"You have all learned to scheme and take advantage of others. You don't know how to unite and help each other. I think you are just suffering from the remnants of feudal ideology."

"We all live in the same courtyard, why are you so fussy?"

Hearing Director Wang's scolding, the neighbors felt ashamed and were afraid that Director Wang would say something even harsher. They also shouted loudly.

"Director Wang, we know we were wrong. We will go and learn. Don't worry!"
