Siheyuan: The Qing Dynasty is back

Chapter 11 The Conference Ends

Everyone stood up and prepared to go back, but was interrupted by He Daqing's words.

So everyone stayed and continued to sit down and watch the fun.

Liu Haizhong said to He Daqing angrily: "Daqing, it's so late and everyone has to go to work tomorrow. If you have anything to say, just tell me now."

He Daqing ignored Liu Haizhong. He said to everyone, "Everyone present at noon should know that Jia Zhang was promoting feudal superstition in public. What kind of behavior is this? This is anti-science, anti-society, and anti-government behavior. Do you all want to cover up this behavior and become her accomplice?"

"If the street office and the government find out, we will all be criticized and taught lessons. It will have an impact on everyone's work. Now I am here to make a statement. I will resolutely fight this feudal ideology to the end! Down with feudalism! Down with superstitious thinking!"

At the same time, He Daqing raised his fist and shouted loudly: "Down with feudalism! Down with superstition!"

At this point, everyone present stood up immediately, waving their hands and shouting at the same time: "Down with feudalism! Down with superstition!"

The scene was full of enthusiasm and passion.

Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong also joined in. They didn't dare to go against the masses.

Only Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu stood there with pale faces and trembling. Everyone around them stayed away from them, and no one dared to approach them at this moment.

After shouting a few times, I saw that everyone was very excited.

He Daqing pressed his hand downward and said, "If we don't deal with people like Jia Zhang, are you willing? If the street office finds out, we will protect her. Will we still have jobs and studies? We all don't want to associate with such people. I suggest that we drive her back to the countryside together!"

Since it concerns everyone's interests, everyone is calling for Jia Zhang to be driven back to the countryside.

She was originally registered in the countryside. When the country was first liberated, everyone in the countryside was given a few acres of land. She registered in the countryside for the land. She rented the land to her relatives to farm. She was given food every year.

As a result, she never had the chance to change her household registration after the household registration system was reformed. Later, the rural areas began to implement the work point system, so her efforts were in vain.

Hearing that everyone was going to send her back to the countryside, Jia Zhang was so frightened that she trembled all over and could not even stand. She was really scared.

Life in the countryside is really hard now. There is no harvest in the fields. Everyone looks for wild vegetables and peels tree bark to eat. In some places, people even eat soil. I don’t know how many people have starved to death. So Jia Zhang was most afraid that someone would drive her to the countryside.

Just when she was at a loss.

A quiet scolding voice was heard.

"What did you do in the middle of the night?"

As the crowd parted, the deaf old lady walked in tremblingly with a cane.

She looked at the scene and said to He Daqing, "I knew it was you who was causing trouble. You've only been back for two days and look at what you've done to the compound. I think you're the one who should be kicked out the most!"

He Daqing narrowed his eyes and looked at her and said, "Yes, I deserved to be kicked out. Someone tried every means to force me out, but unfortunately I came back. I'm sorry to disappoint you."

"Sometimes you have to accept your old age, live your life peacefully and wait for death. Don't run around everywhere, or you may end up not being able to live out your old age if you are not careful."

"Did you say that, old lady?"

After hearing He Daqing's blatant threat, the deaf old lady was furious. But now she couldn't do anything about He Daqing.

So she changed the subject and said, "I don't want to get involved. We live in the same compound and have been neighbors for so many years. It's not easy. Jia Zhang made a mistake this time and she should be punished. But this is the first time, so let's give her a chance to correct her mistake. How about letting her clean the compound for us for a month?"

After saying this, before anyone else could speak, he turned to Jia Zhang and said, "Jia Zhang, do you accept the punishment?"

Jia Zhang now felt that the deaf old lady was her own Guanyin Bodhisattva, and hurriedly said, "I accept the punishment, I absolutely accept the punishment!"

After hearing this, the deaf old lady also looked at He Daqing with a smile and asked, "What do you think? You should always leave a way out for others. You can't push people into a dead end."

He Daqing understood what she meant. As long as he didn't push her into a desperate situation, she would stop meddling in his affairs.

This old lady is indeed very experienced. Those who can survive several dynasties are not simple. An inconspicuous old lady is different from ordinary people.

Thinking that he would have plenty of time to deal with them in the future, He Daqing felt that he should not push them too hard.

So he said to the deaf old lady, "Okay, I'll give you some face this time, that's all. Don't mess with me in the future, I'm not easy to talk to."

After saying that, he ignored everyone and went back.

The deaf old lady watched He Daqing leave and sighed. She had misjudged him. If she had established a good relationship with He Daqing, she would have been much better than Yi Zhonghai.

After she regretted it, she said to Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui: "Why don't you let everyone go back to rest? Why are you making such a fuss in the middle of the night?"

After saying this, he went back tremblingly on his crutches.

The whole-school meeting that started off well but ended badly ended just like that.

This meeting made everyone see more clearly how ruthless He Daqing was. If the deaf old lady hadn't stepped in at the last minute, Jia Zhang would have been driven back to the countryside. Anyone who dared to oppose would be considered to be harboring a criminal. If the street office knew about this, they would probably praise He Daqing.

Jia Zhang, who had escaped the disaster, returned home. She, who had always been throwing a tantrum and being unreasonable, was so frightened by the aura of the crowd that her back was wet.

She quickly drank some water and cursed, "That damn He Daqing! Why didn't he die outside? Don't let him fall into my hands in the future, or I will scratch him to death!"

Qin Huairu also drank some water to calm herself down and said, "Mom, don't mess with him again. Can't you see? He is determined to drive you back to the countryside this time. If the deaf old lady hadn't come to speak for you in the end, you might have been driven out of the compound by now."

"Let's just live our own lives from now on and never provoke him again, okay?"

Although Jia Zhang was cursing, she was also very scared in her heart. What happened just now had a great impact on her. She still felt a lingering fear when she thought about it.

Yan Bugui returned home and said to everyone, "See, how much He Daqing has changed since he came back this time? Jia Zhang just had a quarrel with him at noon, and he beat her up. He also extorted two hundred yuan from the Jia family tonight. If the deaf old lady hadn't come, Jia Zhang would probably have slept outside the gate now."

Yan Jiecheng asked, "Didn't they say that Jia Zhang wanted to steal his bicycle? How come there was a quarrel?"

Yan Bugui glanced at his stupid son and said, "With Jia Zhang's courage and physique, how dare she rob He Daqing in public? And it was a valuable item like a bicycle. Jia Zhang is not a fool."

The third aunt also realized it later and said, "So He Daqing wronged Jia Zhang? Then why did he dare to report it to the police? I saw that he looked so righteous, I really thought it was Jia Zhang who wanted to steal the bicycle."

Yan Bugui said calmly, "This is where He Daqing is smart. There were no witnesses in the Intermediate Court at the time, and the only witness was Qin Huairu. Of course he denied it. That means no one else saw it. He said Jia Zhang robbed it, so it was robbed. He can make a few remarks about it wherever he goes. He didn't have to send Jia Zhang to the police, he just wanted to scare her, and his purpose was to get money. You see, didn't the two hundred yuan get back the money for the bicycle?"

After Yan Bugui's analysis, the whole family understood. At the same time, they were even more wary of He Daqing's ruthlessness.

When Liu Haizhong got home, he was still happy about settling a lawsuit tonight. But then he thought about how He Daqing had interrupted him several times and was so popular. He couldn't help but get angry again.

Thinking that his two sons did not help him like his elder son Liu Guangqi, he picked up the feather duster on the table and started beating them, making Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu cry and scream.

After venting his anger for a while, Liu Haizhong felt better and went straight into the house to sleep. Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu touched their bruises and wounds, with hatred in their eyes from time to time.

In the backyard, Xu Damao has not come back from showing movies these two days, otherwise it would be even more lively with his personality.

In the middle courtyard, He Daqing was sitting at the table drinking water. Sha Zhu was standing aside and secretly glanced at He Daqing timidly. When he noticed that He Daqing was looking at him, he quickly turned his head away.

He Daqing was somewhat confused by this stupid son. What had happened to him? Was he so afraid of him?

So he said to Shazhu: "What's wrong? You look so sneaky. Just tell me what you have to say!"

Sha Zhu said timidly: "Dad, did Jia Zhang really steal our bicycle?"

He Daqing glanced at him and said, "No, she wouldn't dare to steal my things even if she had the guts."

Sha Zhu immediately said, "That's what I said. I don't think she's that bold."

"Dad, why did you insist on saying that she stole the bicycle and asked me to report it to the police? Aren't you afraid that others will know that you wrongly accused her?"

Seeing Sha Zhu's puzzled expression, He Daqing shook his head. Sometimes it's good to be a fool.

"I just wanted to beat her up, and I was just looking for an excuse. Otherwise, how could I beat her up for no reason?"

"As for whether I'm afraid that others will know that I wronged her, of course I'm not afraid. Do you think no one can see it? You can think that Jia Zhangshi doesn't have the courage, but others can't think of it? It's just that there was no one at the time and no evidence. If I say she robbed it, then it's robbed. No one can prove that she didn't rob."

"In fact, I said I would report to the police just to scare her. If I really wanted to report to the police, I would have done it a long time ago. Why would I wait until the meeting in the evening? I was surprised to get 200 yuan. I thought I could just beat her up, but she insisted on giving me 200 yuan. So I accepted it."

Sha Zhu felt terrible after hearing this. He wrongly accused others just to beat them up. Not only did he not pay a penny for medical expenses after the beating, but he also asked others to pay him 200 yuan. How could he not want such a father? The baby was also scared!!!

Looking at Sha Zhu's useless appearance, He Daqing scolded, "Go back to sleep. You won't be working tomorrow?"

Sha Zhu, who was driven out by He Daqing, looked up at the sky. He didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing to have such a sinister father.
