Siheyuan: A Family of Loyal and Brave People

"Wait a minute, the neighborhood office sold the Jia family's house. Now I don't even have a place to stay. You have to give me an explanation!"

Jia Zhang obviously did not intend to give up easily.

She is now penniless and has no place to stand in the city. If she can't get any benefits, her end will be miserable.

"statement?"

Cheng Hao stopped, turned around, smiled contemptuously, and said calmly: "I haven't asked you for an explanation yet. Jia Zhangshi, where have you been and what have you done in the past year since you left the city?

For the sake of our acquaintance, I advise you to go to the police station and explain things to the police first, and then try to get a certificate to prove your innocence.

Otherwise, it is common to kill them directly as spies of hostile forces or saboteurs."

Cheng Hao was not joking. The national order had returned to stability and the control over population movement had become very strict.

Leaving the administrative jurisdiction without a letter of introduction issued by the local government is an illegal act and the person will be held accountable.

People like Jia Zhang, who have disappeared for a whole year and have even crossed the border, are the focus of scrutiny.

If something goes wrong, Jia Zhang’s life will be in danger.

"This……"

Jia Zhang was just a scoundrel and a shrew, so how could she understand so many things? However, she was still shocked when she heard that she might be shot, and she said tremblingly: "Do I need to prove that I have lived in Beijing for more than ten years?

You must be lying to me, fooling me..."

“You have one morning to sort out your identification.

If they can't figure it out before noon, the police station will arrest someone.

It’s hard to say whether you will live or die by then.”

Cheng Hao ignored Jia Zhangshi and walked into the street office slowly.

When Jia Zhang saw that Cheng Hao was not joking, she panicked for a moment, looking around, not knowing what to do.

In the end, the instinct for survival took over and he ran back to the courtyard like crazy.

Jia Zhang had no relatives or friends in the city, and the only people she could rely on were her neighbors.

……

Running back to the courtyard, Jia Zhang didn't think twice and immediately used her best trick - throwing a tantrum and rolling on the ground.

He knelt directly at the gate of the courtyard, opened the cloth bag, exposed Jia Dongxu's bones, and cried loudly to the sky.

“It’s so unfair~

I just went out to look for my son's body, and when I came back my house was occupied by someone, and they thought I was a bad guy...

I can’t live anymore, I’ll just hit my head and die…”

The neighbors in the yard were all shocked to see Jia Zhang's huge display and dared not approach her for fear of getting into trouble.

However, Jia Zhang's kneeling at the gate of the courtyard blocked the main traffic route, which not only hindered the neighbors from entering and leaving, but also had an extremely bad impact if the news got outside.

There was really no other way, so three aunts in charge were elected to solve the problem.

"Sister-in-law Jia, if you have anything to say, please tell me nicely. Kneeling at the door and crying is not a good idea."

The first lady had the best temper and felt somewhat sympathetic towards Jia Zhang's situation, so she was the first to step forward and talk to her.

"Yes, if you have any grievances, please speak up. We can discuss it."

The second and third aunts quickly chimed in.

The men all went out to work, and the top priority was to stabilize Jia Zhang's situation, clear the roads, and avoid any trouble.

Let's wait until the men come back.

Seeing the three housekeepers falling for their tricks, Jia Zhang immediately wiped away her empty tears and complained aggrievedly, "We have been neighbors for more than ten years. Don't you know who I am?

The people in the neighborhood office insisted that I was a saboteur who had returned from outside and wanted to arrest and shoot me.

I won't stand this kind of injustice. I might as well just run into a wall and die in the yard.

Let them see if I am a bad guy!"

As Jia Zhang said this, she suddenly stood up and was about to rush to the door.

It was only because an old lady stepped forward subconsciously to stop her that she was prevented from getting her head split open.

“We believe you are not a bad person.

If you have anything to say, talk it out nicely, and you can always make things clear."

An auntie consoled softly.

"Well, the three of you have to accompany me to the police station to prove my innocence."

Jia Zhang's plan succeeded. She grabbed the aunt's hand and took the opportunity to make a request.

"This one……"

When they heard that they had to go to the police station, the three aunties in charge, including the first aunt, subconsciously showed resistance.

They don't want to go to the police station.

"Okay, it turns out that what you just said were all lies, you were all deceiving me.

After all, you still don't believe me.

Then I'll just hit my head and die here.

After I die, even if I turn into a ghost, I will not let you go!"

Jia Zhang pretended to continue banging her head against the wall.

The three housekeepers had never seen such a desperate posture, so they immediately stopped him and hurriedly advised: "Go, I'll accompany you, don't let your mind wander."

People from the old times were still superstitious. If Jia Zhang died in the yard with hatred, they would be afraid that they would never be able to sleep well at night from then on.

Just like that, after some deception by Jia Zhang, the three aunts in charge were dragged to the police station.

The policeman at the police station saw a slovenly woman leading three middle-aged women in, and was puzzled for a moment, and asked: "Comrade, what do you want?"

Jia Zhang hurried forward, pointed at the three people behind her and said, "I am a resident of No. 95 Courtyard, Luoguxiang. I left the city a year ago for some reasons. I recently came back and found that all my family documents were lost. I would like to ask you to help me get a certificate.

The three of them are neighbors of Courtyard 95 and can prove that my identity is correct. "

"Police comrade, she is indeed a resident of our courtyard, but she has been away for a year and has lost all her belongings at home. She has no place to stay. Please help and see how to arrange it."

Since they were already there, they went to the police station and asked the police to help settle Jia Zhang.

This would save Jia Zhang from always bothering the neighbors in the yard.

After listening to the four people's stories, the policeman was stunned for a while, then pointed at the old lady and said, "Please show us your ID."

The four women talked a lot but did not provide any relevant evidence, so the police could not make a quick judgment.

The three aunties were well prepared and handed over their documents.

"Yes, it is indeed from No. 95, Luoguxiang.

Wait a minute, I'll check it out."

The police officer returned the documents and immediately went into the inner room and asked his companions to help look up the information.

Jia Zhang had been away from the city for a year and had lost all her documents, but her household registration information was still kept in the local police station.

As long as we check it out and combine it with the testimonies of the neighbors, we can basically determine the identity.

It is said that a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. When encountering such a thing, we have to rely on our neighbors for help.

Not long after, the police came out with a stack of files, pointed to a line on the top and read: "Zhang Xiaohua, born in 1910; registered residence: Room 95, Yard 206, Luoguxiang, Xizhimen; Status: Missing."

The police officer looked up at the three middle-aged women in charge and asked, "Is this correct?"

"Yes, yes, yes, it's me, it's me."

After finding the file, Jia Zhang breathed a sigh of relief. With someone testifying, at least she would not be treated as a saboteur, and her life was saved.
