Siheyuan, my new life

The two young police officers walked to the door of Jia's house. They were very angry because they were deceived by Qin Huairu's pitiful appearance. So they knocked on the door twice and shouted into the house, "Jia Zhang, we are from Jiaodaokou Police Station. Come out and accept the investigation immediately, otherwise we will break the door and arrest you."

Jia Zhang in the room dived into the bed at this time. Although she ran back home and closed the door directly, she still hid behind the curtains, secretly observing the situation outside through the gap, and at the same time pricked up her ears, for fear of missing a word from outside.

It was somewhat beyond Jia Zhang's expectation that Yi Zhonghai would take the initiative to stand up and speak for the Jia family. However, for Jia Zhang, no matter how much Yi Zhonghai helped the Jia family, she would not feel the slightest gratitude. This was not only true for Yi Zhonghai, but also for other people.

This time, Jia Zhang racked her brains to come up with an idea. She got a letter of introduction from the village under the excuse of going to the city to spend the Spring Festival at her son's home. You must know that when the Jiaodaokou Street Office sent people to escort Jia Zhang back to her hometown in the countryside to live, they made clear instructions to the village that Jia Zhang must not return to No. 95 Nanluoguxiang without permission.

Therefore, when Jia Zhang came to the village to ask for a letter of introduction, the village chief and the secretary repeatedly reminded her that she must return before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, otherwise the village would send militia to the city to bring her back for criticism.

At that time, Jia Zhang agreed without hesitation. She just wanted to leave her rural hometown as soon as possible. She had also made up her mind that this time she would go to the city and would never go back to her hometown to suffer again.

These days, Jia Zhang feels that she is living in dire straits. She has to get up early every morning and work with the villagers. When she comes back, she has to cook for herself. In her hometown in the countryside, not to mention eating meat, she can't even smell the fishy smell of meat.

You have to know that when living in the courtyard house at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang, Jia Zhang was the boss of the house. Qin Huairu was responsible for the three meals a day and the washing and cleaning at home. Every day, Jia Zhang would hold a shoe sole that was about to be patinated in her hand and get together with the old ladies in the courtyard to talk about all kinds of things. After chatting enough, she would go home to take a nap.

Whenever she felt hungry, Jia Zhang would sneak to the braised meat shop alone and buy some braised meat, roast chicken or other meat to satisfy her cravings. Otherwise, she would not have become so fat.

Just now, Jia Zhang had heard Captain Jiang's instructions at the window. She was so scared that she buried her head in the quilt. Although Jia Zhang usually looked fearless, it was because she knew that in the courtyard No. 95, with Yi Zhonghai's favoritism and protection, others could not do anything to her.

Now, hearing Captain Jiang's orders, Jia Zhang was frightened to the point of being at a loss and trembling all over.

At this time, the shouts of the two young police officers came from the door of Jia's house. Jia Zhang buried her head in the quilt and said in a muffled voice, "Old woman, I'm already asleep. Come back tomorrow if you have anything to say."

The public security personnel outside the door could not hear what Jia Zhang said clearly, so they shouted again: "Jia Zhang, now I order you to open the door immediately and accept the investigation, otherwise we will break in and arrest you."

Seeing that the two young police officers were about to break down the door, Jia Dongxu hurried over and tried to put on a smile: "Public security comrades, please don't worry. I'll call my mother to open the door right away."

After getting Captain Jiang's nod of approval, Jia Dongxu walked to the window and shouted to the inside: "Mom, please open the door quickly, otherwise the police will break it down. It's the coldest time of the year in winter, and if the door is broken, we will have to spend money to repair it."

Apparently, only her son understood Jia Zhang best. When she heard that the police were really going to break down the door, she was reluctant to spend money to repair it, so she had to climb down from the kang mumbling, walked to the door reluctantly, and pulled the bolt.

Two public security officers each grabbed one of Jia Zhang's arms and pulled her out of the house.

Jia Zhang couldn't help but yell, "Help, help!"

Captain Jiang pulled out a pair of handcuffs from his waist and sneered, "Jia Zhang, you are so bold that you dare to openly promote feudal superstition. Now come back to the police station with us to be investigated."

When Jia Zhang saw that the public security officers really took out handcuffs, she immediately shut her mouth and let Captain Jiang put the handcuffs on her.

Captain Jiang did not immediately take Jia Zhang away. Instead, he looked at the residents in the courtyard and those who were watching the excitement climbing on the courtyard wall, and said loudly: "Comrades, now is a new society. The country and the government have severely cracked down on feudal superstition activities. Last summer, they asked the street office and the police station to vigorously publicize all the courtyards and slums in the jurisdiction. At that time, the person who went to the street office to attend the work meeting of the No. 95 courtyard was the then manager, Yi Zhonghai. Here I want to ask everyone, did Yi Zhonghai organize all the residents of the No. 95 courtyard to publicize the spirit of the superior's instructions last summer?"

Everyone shook their heads in confusion after hearing this. Captain Jiang had already noticed that Yi Zhonghai had a nervous look on his face. He couldn't help but sneer in his heart, "Okay, you old guy has a lot of things to deal with."

Captain Jiang looked at He Daqing and asked loudly, "Director He, do you remember that your No. 95 courtyard held a meeting last summer to crack down on feudal superstitious activities?"

He Daqing frowned and shook his head: "Captain Jiang, I only attended one hospital-wide meeting last summer. That was when Yi Zhonghai called for donations to the Jia family. Maybe my factory entertained me, so I sometimes came back late."

At this point, He Daqing looked at Li Botao and Fang Dahu and asked, "Old Li, Old Fang, you should all be at home. Do you remember such a hospital-wide meeting?"

Fang Dahu shook his head decisively: "Last summer, there were two hospital-wide meetings. In addition to the donation meeting for the Jia family that Lao He mentioned, the other one was the flood prevention work meeting promoted by the street office. Lao Li, do you know about the hospital-wide meeting on cracking down on feudal superstition activities?"

Li Botao immediately shook his head. He turned to look at the residents around him and asked loudly, "Does anyone remember the whole hospital meeting last summer to crack down on feudal superstition?"

After hearing this, everyone present shook their heads and said, "I remember it very clearly. Last summer, we held two meetings for the whole courtyard. During the donation for the Jia family, Jia Zhang thought that some residents in our courtyard had not donated enough. She rolled on the ground and called for Old Jia to take away the residents who donated less."
