Siheyuan, my new life

Yi Zhonghai certainly understood that once he was kicked out of Courtyard No. 95, the subdistrict office would only rearrange his housing according to his current actual situation. Now Yi Zhonghai was single and his work level had been downgraded from senior fitter to intermediate level. In this case, he would definitely not be allocated two houses. Moreover, the two east wing rooms in the middle courtyard where he lived now were the best houses in Courtyard No. 95 except for the main house in the middle courtyard and the backyard.

It was not until this moment that Yi Zhonghai regretted it. Why did he show off his ability? What did the love and death of Jia Zhang have to do with him? Now that he had completely torn his face with Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu, why did he meddle in other people's business? Now it was good, not only did he fail to take the opportunity to suppress He Daqing's prestige, but he also got himself involved. For a while, Yi Zhonghai racked his brains, thinking of ways to solve the current dilemma.

What Yi Zhonghai didn't know was that, due to the impact of what happened between him and the Jia family, the residents of Courtyard No. 95 had had enough of the pointing and criticizing from people around them in recent days.

In addition, with the arrest and sentencing of the second uncle Liu Haizhong, the former manager of No. 95 Siheyuan, and the third uncle Yan Bugui, the former manager, into prison one after another, No. 95 Siheyuan is now well-known throughout Dongcheng District, but it is not a good reputation. Even the matchmakers nearby are reluctant to take business from No. 95 Siheyuan. No matter whether they want to marry a wife or a daughter, when the other party hears that it is No. 95 Siheyuan in Nanluoguxiang, most of them will directly shake their heads and refuse.

Now, after the residents of Courtyard No. 95 learned the reason from the matchmakers, they wanted to give the culprits a good beating to vent their anger.

Now that Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui have been sentenced to prison, the Liu and Yan families have moved out of Courtyard No. 95 one after another. No one has much to say about these two guys who have been punished. Killing is not a crime. Now Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui have both started to undergo labor reform in labor farms, and their families have moved away. No matter how many objections there are, this is the only way.

But the other culprits Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhang were still in Courtyard No. 95. Jia Zhang was sent back to her hometown in the countryside by the street office. Not only did Yi Zhonghai get divorced, but his savings of many years were also swept away by his wife Qu Xiuqin. At the same time, the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill criticized Yi Zhonghai throughout the factory and demoted him. After learning this, the residents of Courtyard No. 95 said behind their backs that this was retribution. From then on, Yi Zhonghai went to and from work alone every day, and when he returned to Courtyard No. 95, he basically hid at home, as if he had become a transparent man in the yard.

Although everyone was still full of resentment, they didn't have a suitable reason. They couldn't just go up and beat Yi Zhonghai up to vent their anger, right?

What was unexpected was that as the New Year was approaching, Jia Zhang, this troublemaker, actually returned to Courtyard No. 95 under the pretext of going into the city to celebrate the New Year at her son's home. To be honest, it was hard for everyone to say anything about Jia Zhang's excuse. After all, the Spring Festival is a time for families to reunite, and no one could be so unkind as to not allow Jia Zhang to enter Courtyard No. 95.

However, some old ladies at home had already gathered together this afternoon to discuss that if Jia Zhang did not take the initiative to leave Courtyard No. 95 after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, they would report the problem to the street office, and the street office would send Jia Zhang back to her hometown in the countryside to live.

To everyone's surprise, this troublemaker Jia Zhang started making a big fuss that night as soon as she returned to the courtyard at No. 95. She even rolled on the ground outside the house and called for Old Jia in full view of everyone.

Most of the residents in Courtyard No. 95 agreed with the move of the steward He Daqing to ask his son He Yuzhu to report to the police station immediately. It is estimated that the only ones who opposed it, apart from the Jia family, were Yi Zhonghai.

As Yi Zhonghai took the initiative to show off his power, he finally ignited the suppressed anger in the hearts of the residents. As the first resident shouted to drive Yi Zhonghai away, almost everyone present followed suit and expressed their own opinions.

At this moment, He Yuzhu pushed his bicycle into the intermediate courtyard, followed by three public security officers.

When the public security personnel appeared, the scene immediately became quiet. After all, the Chinese people have a natural fear of the government and officials.

He Daqing walked towards the leading public security officer, who was in his forties, and said with a smile, "Hello, Captain Jiang. It's so late, and I'm really sorry to trouble you public security officers to come here."

Captain Jiang smiled and said, "Director He is too polite. Our duty as public security officers is to protect the lives and property of the people and to crack down on all illegal and criminal activities. I just heard from Comrade He Yuzhu that someone was practicing feudal superstition in public. Where is this Jia Zhang family member now?"

He Daqing pointed to the Jia family, who had already closed their doors and turned off the lights: "Just now, after hearing that the police station would be notified, Jia Zhang ran straight home, closed the door, and turned off the lights."

Captain Jiang waved his hand to the two public security officers beside him and said, "Have Jia Zhang come out immediately for investigation."

When Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu saw the police arrive, they couldn't help but hate Jia Zhang and He Daqing. They were angry that Jia Zhang had just returned home and was throwing a tantrum and making a fuss, and they hated He Daqing for disregarding the feelings of his neighbors and reporting the slightest matter directly to the police station.

In the minds of Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu, it was common for Jia Zhang to throw a tantrum and call on Old Jia at every turn. They had long been accustomed to Yi Zhonghai's crooked talk. Moreover, as long as they were in the courtyard No. 95, with Yi Zhonghai's favoritism and protection, the Jia family would be the ones to benefit in the end.

Now He Daqing, the steward, not only did not continue to favor and shield the Jia family, but he also acted impartially. For a moment, Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu really couldn't accept it and really missed the days when Yi Zhonghai was the steward.

But now was not the time to think too much. Qin Huairu gently pulled Jia Dongxu, and then the two of them stood in front of the two public security officers. Qin Huairu pretended to be pitiful and cried, "Comrade Public Security, my mother-in-law is old and illiterate. We know we were wrong. We will remind her not to make this mistake again. Please let her go this time."
