Chapter 6: The Jia Family Makes Things Difficult

At Yi Zhonghai's home, Yi Zhonghai and his wife, who were having dinner, suddenly saw Jia Dongxu visiting. Yi Zhonghai had now chosen Jia Dongxu as his apprentice and the person who would take care of him in his old age, so when he saw Jia Dongxu coming, Yi Zhonghai was very happy and quickly asked him to sit down.

"Dongxu, have you eaten? Come and sit down and eat together." Yi Zhonghai gestured to a middle-aged woman to bring over some bowls and chopsticks without waiting for Jia Dongxu to answer.

Jia Dongxu took a look at the dinner at Yi Zhonghai's house and was full of contempt. He earned 99 yuan a month, but he was eating boiled shredded radish, pickled cabbage, four steamed buns and a pot of corn porridge. If it were at home, he would at least have to stir-fry some braised pork or steamed sausage.

However, Jia Dongxu had a humble expression on his face and said very filially: "Master, you usually eat these things without any oil or water, which is not good for your health."

Yi Zhonghai was very satisfied to see that Jia Dongxu cared about his health, and said happily: "It doesn't matter, I'm used to it, just eat something casually at night."

At this time, an old lady put bowls and chopsticks in front of Jia Dongxu, and Yi Zhonghai invited him to eat something. Jia Dongxu was not polite. Anyway, he had not eaten before coming, so it was just right to make do with it.

After the meal, Jia Dongxu and Yi Zhonghai smoked some cigarettes.

"Dongxu, what do you want from me?" Yi Zhonghai suddenly asked Jia Dongxu. He knew Jia Dongxu's temper and knew that he would not come to him unless there was something wrong.

Jia Dongxu said: "Master, do you know Zhang Yuan who is new in the front yard?"

When Yi Zhonghai heard the name, his face immediately turned dark. Thinking of what happened before, he felt dissatisfied and asked in a deep voice: "What's wrong? What did he do wrong again?"

"Again?" Jia Dongxu was surprised to hear what Yi Zhonghai said, but he still said: "He came back today on a bicycle. Master, you know that Zhang Yuan has no job and no income. He suddenly got a bicycle. I suspect that his bicycle is of unknown origin, so I told you, Master."

Yi Zhonghai heard that there was a chance. It just so happened that he also wanted to make trouble for Zhang Yuan. If he didn't suppress Zhang Yuan, the people in the courtyard might be led astray by him. At the same time, the master knows the apprentice best. Yi Zhonghai saw through Jia Dongxu's little calculation and guessed that he was jealous of Zhang Yuan for having a bicycle. So he nodded and said, "Let's go and ask. As neighbors, we can't let him go astray and take the road of crime."

Zhang Yuan, who was about to go to bed, was suddenly awakened by a knock on the door. He hurriedly opened the door and saw Yi Zhonghai walking in with his hands behind his back, followed by a 1-meter-tall man with a handsome face, but a bad look in his eyes, which looked a bit evil.

"Zhang Yuan, why did you lock the door?" Jia Dongxu questioned Zhang Yuan as soon as they met.

Hearing Jia Dongxu asking the question first, and it was the same question that Yi Zhonghai had asked before, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but frown.

[Ding! Character discovered—Jia Dongxu, friendship level—50]

[Ding! Trigger the mission! ]

[Do you accept the mission - Finding Faults from Yi Zhonghai, reward attribute point*1, skill experience book (beginner)*1]

【Yes! 】

Faced with Jia Dongxu repeating Yi Zhonghai's previous questions, Zhang Yuan also repeated his classic three consecutive "proof" questions, confusing Jia Dongxu on how to prove that he was himself, and he began to have wild thoughts in a daze.

Seeing that Jia Dongxu was confused by the question, Yi Zhonghai quickly took over for him and asked Zhang Yuan about the bicycle in an aggressive manner.

Zhang Yuan explained: "The bicycle was allocated to him by his work unit."

"Which unit?"

"The North City Scrapyard."

"Have you found a job? When did it happen?" Jia Dongxu asked hurriedly. He didn't expect that Zhang Yuan had found a job so quickly and was full of surprise.

"Is it your business?" Zhang Yuan gave Jia Dongxu a disdainful look.

"you....."

Yi Zhonghai said: "What proof do you have?"

Zhang Yuan took out his work ID and the bicycle license he had obtained at the police station today and showed them to the two of them one by one.

"Any questions?"

"No more." Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai already believed in his heart that this was the fact.

"In that case, your bicycle will be used by Jia Dongxu starting tomorrow." Yi Zhonghai suddenly said.

Zhang Yuan asked in surprise: "Why?"

Yi Zhonghai said in a high-sounding manner: "Because Dongxu's family is in financial difficulty, his wife is pregnant and needs to go to the hospital frequently for checkups. Besides, our compound values ​​mutual assistance and solidarity among neighbors. Your work is not far from here, so there is no need to ride a bicycle. You should give it to Dongxu."

After hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, Jia Dongxu felt that his master really had nothing to say about him and was willing to help him get a bicycle. He originally wanted to take the bicycle for himself. Although the bicycle was tattered, it was rideable. In the future, Qin Huairu could bring back more food when she returned to her parents' home.

Zhang Yuan stared at Master Yi Zhonghai and his apprentice with wide eyes, and suddenly burst into laughter, which made the two of them confused.

Jia Dongxu asked: "What are you laughing at? My master has spoken, you should hand over the bicycle keys immediately."

Yi Zhonghai didn't say anything, but his attitude was very clear, and he acquiesced to Jia Dongxu's words.

Zhang Yuan cursed: "You are so bold that you want to take other people's property for yourselves, and the manager is also involved. It seems that I must report the situation to the street office. I didn't expect that the so-called excellent and advanced courtyard is actually a den of bandits and thieves. The manager is the leader in breaking the law."

Jia Dongxu interrupted again and said, "You're talking nonsense. Be careful. If you don't listen to the manager, we will kick you out."

"Oh, one more thing. Intimidating the residents. Okay, it seems you are a repeat offender."

"Dongxu, shut up." Seeing that Zhang Yuan kept accusing them of crimes, Yi Zhonghai quickly told Jia Dongxu to stop talking.

Yi Zhonghai said: "Don't make up rumors and cause trouble. We want your bicycle to help people in need, and we didn't say we wouldn't return it to you. In addition, I am the manager appointed by the street office and have the right to question the residents. If the residents are not sociable, we will report it to the higher authorities and ask them to move out."

"Oh, so if I don't give the bicycle to Comrade Jia Dongxu, I will be considered unsociable, so you will ask me to leave the yard, right? Then I will ask tomorrow if there is such a rule or relevant law?"

Yi Zhonghai said angrily: "That's enough. Stop reporting to the higher-ups all the time. Do you still take us, the managers, seriously? We are here to mediate the issue on behalf of the subdistrict office."

Zhang Yuan said: "It seems that the problem is not with me. You came here to accuse me and even tried to steal my bicycle. What do you think is going on?"

"That's enough. Let's forget about it. I'm the one who makes the decision. No one else can mention this matter." After saying that, Yi Zhonghai turned and left. Seeing this, Jia Dongxu also followed him home.
