Siheyuan: A Family of Loyal and Brave People

"Director Cheng, can't you be flexible?

Guangqi's ashes have been left at home for half a year, and if they are not buried somewhere, they will soon become moldy.

Besides, everything is based on first come first served. Guangqi died in battle first, so there should be a place for him. How come he was squeezed out without any fuss?"

When Liu Haizhong heard that there was no space available at the Martyrs' Cemetery, he panicked instantly.

It is unknown when the new martyrs' cemetery will be completed. If we continue to wait, it will be an eternity.

And once it is built, no one knows what kind of unexpected events may happen, and it is hard to say whether there will be space at that time.

Liu Haizhong doesn't want his eldest son's urn to stay at home forever.

"The Martyrs' Cemetery is already full, and we can't just dig up someone's ashes to make room for Liu Guangqi.

Anyway, I can't help it. If you really can't wait, find a place to bury yourself."

Cheng Hao ignored the flustered Liu Haizhong and spoke calmly.

I had reminded him before and that was my best intention. Liu Haizhong deserved it for not listening to my advice and ending up in this situation today.

“The price of a cemetery with good feng shui near Sijiu City is not cheap.

Guangqi is a martyr who sacrificed his life for the country. Shouldn’t the subdistrict office give him some subsidies? Okay…”

Liu Haizhong thought for a moment and decided to go to the street office.

It doesn’t matter whether he is buried in the Martyrs’ Cemetery or not. What is important is to find a Feng Shui-good place for Liu Guangqi to rest in peace.

Before he could finish his words, Cheng Hao interrupted him harshly, saying, "No, this matter is not under the jurisdiction of our subdistrict office. Our unit will not pay a penny."

The Xining Sub-district Office had sufficient funds in its account, and it would not be a problem for Cheng Hao to find a reason to allocate some funds to help Liu Guangqi buy a cemetery with his power, but he did not want to spend this money in vain.

Liu Guangqi's case is not under the jurisdiction of the sub-district office, so why should the sub-district office pay for it?

Moreover, once this loophole is opened, there will definitely be people who will ask for benefits from the street office under various pretexts.

No matter how abundant the finances of the subdistrict office are, it cannot afford such squandering.

“My son died for the public, and the subdistrict office took public money, so why can’t they allocate a portion for his burial?

You are being unreasonable."

Seeing Cheng Hao's firm attitude, Liu Haizhong felt very dissatisfied.

The money is paid by the public, and Cheng Hao is not asked to cut his own flesh and blood. Why can't he give convenience to his neighbors and keep some dignity for each of them?

"No means no. If you have any problems, report them to the relevant departments instead of coming to the street office to cause trouble all day and affect our work.

It’s getting late, you should go back quickly, I still have work to do so I won’t send you off.”

Cheng Hao casually waved his hand and ordered them to leave.

After his wife became pregnant, Cheng Hao's temper became much milder. Otherwise, he would have kicked Liu Haizhong out long ago and would not have said so much nonsense.

"If you don't serve the people as an official, what is your job?

Well, if you don’t make the decision for me, someone else will. Just wait!"

Liu Haizhong stood up angrily, took Liu Guangqi's ashes out of the office and went downstairs.

"director……"

The staff of the street office nearby couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to teach Liu Haizhong a lesson, but was stopped by Cheng Hao.

"Stop talking, let's get back to work, there are still many things to deal with."

Grassroots cadres directly contact the masses, and it is common to see all kinds of trivial and ridiculous things that are difficult to sort out. If you really care about everything, you won't do anything.

……

Back in the office, Cheng Hao was about to continue processing documents when someone hurried up to him.

"Director, Liu Haizhong got into trouble outside."

Qin Huairu held the door and said breathlessly.

Cheng Hao's expression changed slightly, he stopped writing, and asked calmly, "What's going on?"

I thought the matter with Liu Haizhong would be resolved for the time being, but I didn't expect trouble to arise in the blink of an eye. It's really worrying.

"When Liu Haizhong was going out, he bumped into Deputy Director Luo's eldest sister, and his ashes were scattered all over the floor. The two sides had been arguing and had already started fighting." Qin Huairu said as she turned her head and glanced in the direction of Deputy Director Luo's office.

There was no movement from Deputy Director Luo, and he probably didn't know what had happened.

Cheng Hao was slightly startled and his eyebrows raised.

Deputy Director Luo's family and Liu Haizhong really have a connection.

Last time it was Deputy Director Luo and Liu Haizhong who bumped into each other, and this time it was Elder Sister Luo who bumped into each other. It seems that the two families are incompatible.

"I'll go down and take a look."

Cheng Hao couldn't just turn a blind eye to something like this happening near the street office, and he vaguely guessed that Sister Luo's visit this time was definitely not for good.

This is a good opportunity to eliminate the trouble.

Soon, Cheng Hao and Deputy Director Luo arrived at the scene.

Since it involved Sister Luo, Deputy Director Luo seemed very anxious.

On the sidewalk outside the street office, a man and a woman were fighting each other on the ground. Both of them had white ash on their faces and looked extremely embarrassed, attracting passers-by to stop and watch.

A young woman standing nearby at a safe distance kept yelling but never dared to step forward to help.

"Stop, stop it!"

Cheng Hao pointed at the two people on the ground and shouted at them, but Liu Haizhong and Sister Luo were obviously so angry that they had no intention of stopping.

There is no doubt that Sister Luo is very tough. The injuries on Deputy Director Luo's body are the most direct manifestation of this. However, Liu Haizhong is no ordinary person either. As a person who has been swinging a sledgehammer in the steel mill for more than ten years, he has extraordinary strength in his hands.

In a battle between two strong forces, Liu Haizhong naturally has the upper hand.

No matter how fierce Sister Luo is, the gap in physical strength between men and women is still unbridgeable when a real fight breaks out.

When Cheng Hao arrived, he had already held down Sister Luo's hands and was slapping her hard in the face with his palms as strong as a palm-leaf fan.

There was a sound of thunderous palm wind, which instantly left several large marks on Sister Luo's face, and her expression became dull and confused.

After suffering such a trauma, Sister Luo became depressed and lost the ability to resist, allowing Liu Haizhong to do the slaughter to her.

Liu Haizhong, who was satisfied with the beating, would not let Sister Luo go easily. He raised his hand to slap her a few more times to vent his hatred.

Fortunately, Cheng Hao intervened in time and grabbed Liu Haizhong's wrist, so Sister Luo was saved.

"Liu Haizhong, get up!"

Cheng Hao exerted force with his hands, easily pulled Liu Haizhong off Sister Luo, threw him to the ground, and said in a cold voice: "In broad daylight, a grown man bullies a female comrade, do you still have shame!"

Liu Haizhong stumbled and gritted his teeth, grinning, "This bitch scattered my son's ashes, should I still indulge her?!"

"Sister, are you okay?"

Deputy Director Luo came forward and carefully helped Sister Luo, whose face was covered with saliva, up. He then pointed at Liu Haizhong and angrily shouted, "Liu Haizhong, you are justified in committing a crime in the street!"

In front of Sister Luo, Deputy Director Luo is just a tapeworm, but in front of others, he is still very impressive.

"Oh, so she is your sister!"

Liu Haizhong stood up, even angrier.

"You two, brother and sister, colluded with each other to harm the family of the martyr and scattered my son's ashes. Your crimes are heinous and unforgivable!"

Liu Haizhong roared and pounced on Deputy Director Luo again.

This time Cheng Hao did not try to stop it, but just stood there and watched silently.

If two against one can't beat Liu Haizhong, Deputy Director Luo deserves to be beaten.
