Siheyuan: I became a truck driver

After Director Wang left, the crowd in the compound did not disperse for a long time.

Liu Haizhong, who was standing aside, couldn't believe it.

He had been dreaming about this for many years, and now he finally became a big boss, but after just one day, he stepped down?

It’s all because of Sha Zhu not listening to him and insisting on calling Director Wang, otherwise he would not have stepped down!

And there is Xiao Yun.

You're already a truck driver, but you're still so stingy!

It was obviously a very small matter and could have been dealt with by just paying some money, but he had to take it to the neighborhood committee.

Now, he has also been dragged down by him.

Thinking of this, Liu Haizhong's face was filled with gloom, and he angrily turned his gaze to Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu on the side.

Every time Liu Haizhong was in a bad mood, he would use the excuse of being a filial son under the stick to beat up the two brothers to vent his anger.

Apparently, this is the case tonight as well.

Yan Bugui also clapped his hands in annoyance.

If he had known the result would be like this, he should have stood by Xiao Yun without hesitation.

As a result, not only did his reputation and prestige disappear completely, but even the excellent courtyard was gone, and the melon seeds and candies distributed during the Chinese New Year were no longer given to him. What should he do?

Thinking of this, Yan Bugui looked at He Yuzhu who was smiling happily on the side, and his mind suddenly brightened.

"Silly Zhu, because you went to see Director Wang, now the Excellent Courtyard is gone, you must compensate everyone!"

Liu Haizhong also reacted and immediately followed up, "Silly Zhu, do you know what you are doing? You are destroying the unity of the compound! You must give us all an explanation!"

Even though everyone calls He Yuzhu "Shazhu", he is not really stupid.

Director Wang just said that the old man's position has been revoked, so Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui naturally have no right to ask He Yuzhu for compensation.

He Yuzhu was unwilling to pay attention, as if he didn't hear it. He put his hands in his trouser pockets and walked to Xiao Aiguo.

"Come on, old man, ignore them, let's go drink, I'm in the cafeteria, come back with the rice and vegetables."

Xiao Aiguo knew that He Yuzhu was a good cook, and nodded with a smile.

"Okay, let's save some food for Xiao Yun and have a good drink."

He Yuzhu also agreed to this matter with a smile as if he was coaxing Xiao Aiguo.

The two of them went straight into Xiao Yun's room as if nothing had happened, leaving everyone outside looking at each other in bewilderment.

Seeing that He Yuzhu refused to listen to their arrangements, Xu Damao was unwilling to be left behind. He took Lou Xiaoe back to the backyard without even saying hello.

People left one after another, and the respect they had in the past disappeared completely.

Liu Haizhong saw that he had lost his prestige, and his anger was fueled. He glared at his two sons and scolded them, "The meeting is over, why don't you move the stools back? You useless things, get out of here!"

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu didn't dare to breathe. Each of them grabbed a stool and ran back in shame.

Yan Bugui sighed and turned to look at the third aunt.

"Mother, from today on, everyone should eat less, otherwise this New Year will be difficult!"

...

Inside the police station.

The police officer on duty was also very angry after listening to Director Wang’s story.

Under the harsh interrogation, Jia Zhang's previous arrogance disappeared and she was scared to tears.

He started to complain to the police with tears and snot.

From the death of the family's pillar to the fact that Huaihua couldn't get milk and kept crying, Jia Zhang kept talking and crying.

She portrayed herself from a pious old woman who robbed pork ribs to a poor woman who could barely make ends meet.

And they think they can get away with it this way.

But these contents are completely useless to the police who are already accustomed to them.

Especially after seeing Jia Zhang's bloated body, it was even more unbelievable.

After all, there has been famine for several consecutive years and people have been starving to death everywhere.

She is so fat, is she trying to fool people?

Finally, after Jia Zhang complained for a while, the police got tired of listening and knocked on the table.

"Hey, hey, hey, I asked you to explain what you did, not to complain. Even if your life is hard, it's not a reason for you to break the law!"

"What's more, your family has a strong laborer who receives a salary, and two urban hukou quotas. How can you say that your family can't make ends meet?"

"Do you know how many people there are? A family of seven or eight people only has one person's quota, but they still live a law-abiding life?"

"If you don't tell me the truth, I'll convict you of burglary!"

When Jia Zhang heard this, she was really panicked. She stopped complaining and honestly told the story of how she asked for the spare ribs.

At the same time, when faced with the great memory recovery technique, she even described in detail the entire process of swearing.

The insults made the police officers on duty very angry, and they immediately added a charge of insulting military relatives to the crime of attempted robbery.

This is an extremely serious matter!

...

On the other hand, after Xiao Yun explained the facts, he cooperated very well with the issue of paying compensation for the beating. With Director Wang's guarantee, after finishing the record, he started smoking with the others.

At the same time, we are waiting for the results of the transcripts of the other three people.

Not long after.

The police officer who was taking statements from the three people walked into the hall, looked at the police officer who was questioning Xiao Yun, and nodded.

"After investigation, Jia Zhang is suspected of burglary. Since there is no witness evidence, it can only be considered an attempted robbery. However, his behavior was egregious, and he also severely insulted and insulted military family members. He must be severely punished! He is sentenced to one year of detention, and no commutation of sentence is allowed."

"Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu, regardless of the facts, forcefully asked Xiao Yun for compensation, forcing veterans to submit to the lawlessness. They will be issued a serious warning by their respective units and will not be allowed to be promoted for a year, nor will they be allowed to participate in any unit welfare arrangements. They will also be arranged for labor reform by the neighborhood committee for three months!"

After listening, one of the police officers looked at Xiao Yun and said, "Hello, Comrade Xiao Yun, we understand what happened. You beat Jia Zhang. No matter what the reason is, you must pay some compensation."

After hearing this, Xiao Yun was very disappointed.

It’s a pity that Jia Zhang was not shot for this.

If I had known earlier, I should not have stopped her when she went in to steal things. I should have waited until she took the things and then called the police.

However, Xiao Yun was relatively satisfied with the judgments of Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu, but not completely satisfied.

Yi Zhonghai is already an eighth-grade fitter. Due to his academic qualifications, he cannot be promoted to a special-grade fitter even if he has not been punished this time. All things considered, this rule is invalid.

As for the company's welfare arrangements, there are none of the supplies distributed during festivals and holidays, and for Yi Zhonghai, a high-paid employee, these are not worth mentioning.

This put Jia Dongxu in a difficult position, as he was about to face a test for fitters, but then he encountered this mess. Now he didn't have to take the test. Of course, it would be 1962 soon, and he didn't have to live either.

Now that the result is out, even if Xiao Yun is not satisfied with the punishment of Jia Zhang, he can only nod his head.

"I have no problem with that, comrade, but I want to ask, how much should I pay her?"

The police officer was honest. "She broke into your house and stole your things, and then insulted you. You were forced to fight back. Just give her one dollar as compensation. It's not a serious matter."

Without hesitation, Xiao Yun rummaged through his trouser pocket for a one-dollar bill, handed it over, and followed Director Wang out of the police station.

Not long after they left, Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu were also released.

When they asked about Jia Zhang's situation and learned that they would have to wait for a whole year, Jia Dongxu almost collapsed and immediately began to beg for mercy.

"Officer, please let my mother go. If she has to stay in custody for a year, it will be the Chinese New Year next year before she is released. How can she bear it if she has to spend the whole year in prison?"

Yi Zhonghai wanted to beg for mercy, but after he opened his mouth, before any sound came out, he slowly closed his mouth as if he had thought of something.

The police naturally would not let him go easily, and immediately shouted at him: "Do you think this is a vegetable market? Still bargaining? If you had known this would happen, you would not have done it in the first place. You insulted the family of a soldier, but you were not shot directly because it was your first offense. You are still wronged. How can the people who defend their country protect ungrateful people like you and your son!"

The other police officers also sneered without any hesitation.

"Your compound is really ridiculous. They are three generations of military families. Their grandfather fought against the Japanese invaders and their father was in Korea to protect the motherland's border. They have never complained. Yet you are forcing them to apologize and pay you money. How dare you!"

Yi Zhonghai felt humiliated and his face was burning with pain. "Comrade, Mr. Xiao didn't tell us his identity, so we thought it was fake..." His voice became quieter as time went on.

A policeman sneered and wanted to beat Yi Zhonghai up.

"I didn't tell you? You don't deserve to know. Do you know what happened in 1928? That was the year that Mr. Xiao joined the army!"

Yi Zhonghai's heart trembled. Hearing this year, he broke out in a cold sweat and began to stutter. "Then...then why does Mr. Xiao...live in a place that is totally inconsistent with his status..."

"What does it have to do with you where they live? Some people even volunteered to return to the mountain village to farm after liberation. You two should be thankful that it wasn't Old Man Xiao who was attacked this time, otherwise you would have at least five kilograms of bullets in your bodies now."

After saying this, the police officer looked at Jia Dongxu and said jokingly:

"Want to reduce your mother's sentence so she doesn't have to spend a year in jail? Go find the person involved and ask him to sign a letter of non-prosecution. Who knows, it might work."

Hearing this, Jia Dongxu seemed to see hope, but was stopped by the police again when he was about to leave.

"I heard that someone in your compound questioned the old man's identity?"

Yi Zhonghai stammered, "Yes, Mr. Xiao is too low-key..."

The police officer immediately said: "You are suspicious when I tell you to be low-key? If I find out that you are so disrespectful to Mr. Xiao again, you know the consequences!"

At this time, Yi Zhonghai had no way to refute and kept lowering his head.

"Yes, yes, I will let others stop making random guesses when I get back."

After hearing this, the police did not continue to make a fuss about it.

Jia Dongxu hurriedly pulled Yi Zhonghai away from the police station.

On the way back, the two regretted their decision very much, but Yi Zhonghai still comforted Jia Dongxu.

"Dongxu, your mother is in prison, and life at home is not easy. Don't worry, your master and his wife are here. Go to your master's house and get ten kilograms of corn flour for Huairu to eat first."

"If your mother really can't come out during the Chinese New Year, then our two families can get together and have a good New Year!"

Jia Dongxu was so moved that tears filled his eyes and he nodded twice.

"Master, you are so kind! Don't worry, I will definitely take care of you in your old age!"

When Yi Zhonghai heard this, he immediately felt that the punishment just now was a trivial matter, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.
