Siheyuan: How the Little People Live

I have to say that Jia Zhang and his men are indeed somewhat afraid of tough situations. At the beginning, the public security comrades spoke to him nicely in the interrogation room, but he insisted on provoking them.

After receiving special care from the police station, he answered whatever was asked. Sometimes, he didn't even need to be asked, as he would just say everything.

The kid Banggeng couldn't bear any pain at all. He confessed everything after being slapped.

The police station then sent Comrade Xiao Liu to lead the way, taking He Yuzhu back to the Red Star Courtyard. They dug out nearly 600 yuan worth of Great Unity coins from under the floor tiles in a corner not far from the Jia family's house.

When the entire Red Star Courtyard saw the Great Unity worth nearly 600 yuan dug out from under the floor tiles, everyone exclaimed that the Jia family was very generous.

It was even more unbelievable. After all, although the child from Bengbu was a petty thief, such a large amount of money must have been stolen by an adult.

But everyone knows that whether the Jia family members can come back depends entirely on Sha Zhu.

Nanluoguxiang Police Station.

"Comrade He Yuzhu, are you really not going to hold Bang Geng accountable?"

The old police comrade asked with a serious look.

He had long seen that He Yuzhu had some kind of connection with the daughter-in-law of the Jia family. Otherwise, if such a big thing happened to someone else, let alone forgiving him, it would have been considered good enough if he was not sent to jail.

He Yuzhu shook his head. In his heart, he felt that this matter was probably just a misunderstanding.

Maybe the kid Banggeng came over at night to find something to eat and accidentally took these things away.

But the kid Banggeng was a little scared when he saw so much money, so he had to bury it somewhere by himself.

So, you can never wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep.

The old police comrade saw that He Yuzhu had a firm attitude and did not want to hold Banggeng responsible, so he took the letter of apology and confirmation next to it.

"Since Comrade He Yuzhu does not agree to not pursue this incident, please sign your name on this letter of understanding and confirmation."

He Yuzhu signed his name very readily and asked with some concern:

"Comrade Public Security, since I have signed my name, can they be released?"

An old man named Yi Zhonghai standing nearby also looked over with a worried look on his face.

The old police comrade shook his head.

"I'm sorry, Comrade He Yuzhu, although you have forgiven and will not hold Banggeng responsible, we are obliged to make relevant corrections to the child, so Banggeng needs to stay in the juvenile detention center for a month."

Upon hearing that Banggeng was not held accountable and sent to jail, Shazhu and Yi Zhonghai, an old man, both breathed a sigh of relief.

Then Sha Zhu started to worry about his sister Qin.

"So, comrade Public Security, what will be the treatment for Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu? After all, I have already forgiven them, so I think we can let them go."

The old public security comrade shook his head and looked at Sha Zhu as if he was an idiot.

The last time the Red Star Courtyard was reported to the police station, he happened to be on duty in another province. He only heard about it from his colleagues when he came back, so he was not surprised at all that He Yuzhu across from him would say that.

After all, his colleague had said that the entire Red Star Courtyard was a group of people who were ignorant of the law and only knew how to bully people in his own courtyard.

"I'm sorry, Comrade He Yuzhu. The Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu you mentioned are suspected of assaulting police officers, and they gave false testimony, so both of them will have to spend 8 to 10 months in prison. Now we are waiting for the approval from above. You should go back quickly, it's getting late."

"But..."

Sha Zhu still wanted to argue, but the uncle next to him, Yi Zhonghai, pulled him and winked at him.

Silly Pig reluctantly put down his words and was pulled out by an old man named Yi Zhonghai.

When the two men came into the alley, Sha Zhu looked at the old man Yi Zhonghai with a complaining look on his face.

"Uncle, Sister Qin and Jia Zhang are going to be together for almost a year. Why did you pull me just now? By then, you should ask for friendship from the public security comrades."

Uncle Yi Zhonghai sighed. He didn't expect that it was Banggeng who stole the 600 yuan from Shazhu.

If we had known earlier that Banggeng had stolen 600 yuan from Shazhu, we would have advised Shazhu to just endure it. Well, now we have to send the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Jia family to jail.

If it was really because of Sha Zhu's incident that the Jia family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were sent to prison, how would the entire Red Star Courtyard view them?

"Silly Zhu, it's useless for you to say that. After all, this old police comrade has been deeply offended by Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu. And from what he said, this matter still needs to wait for approval from above. We should make arrangements as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to operate once the approval is finalized."

Uncle Yi Zhonghai also wanted to plead for mercy, but he pretended to paint his apprentice's face like that, which was obviously a revengeful act.

But what he didn't know was that assaulting a police officer is generally defined as a crime of less than three points, which can be manipulated into a one, two, or three-year prison sentence.

Only then did Sha Zhu realize what Uncle Yi Zhonghai was planning and he started to urge him on.

"Well, uncle, why are we still wasting time talking? Life in prison is said to be difficult, so let's hurry up."

Uncle Yi Zhonghai looked depressed. He felt that ever since they met Ye Wenwu, they had been plagued by all kinds of bad luck.

Moreover, all of them are stupid teammates. When will I be able to drive Ye Wenwu out of the Red Star Courtyard?

He could only be dragged back by Sha Zhu helplessly, but uncle Yi Zhonghai had an idea in his mind.

After all, Banggeng has already been sent to a juvenile detention center for a month, and his record will be kept on file, so he will have no chance of finding a good job in the future.

In addition, I was worried that Banggeng was too young and would not have the age or funds to support himself in his old age.

When he saw the silly Zhu in front of him, he knew that his father He Daqing sent him 5 yuan every month, but Sha Zhu didn't think much about it. Uncle Yi Zhonghai thought that if the silly Zhu could live with him to support himself in his old age, he would be able to control the money in his hands.

Uncle Yi Zhonghai increasingly felt that this method was appropriate, especially since his relationship with Qin Huairu was particularly secretive. If he used Qin Huairu to doubly bind this guy Sha Zhu, then he would be a perfect candidate for retirement.

When the time comes, even if his father He Daqing comes back, Uncle Yi Zhonghai also feels that he can compete with his father He Daqing.

"Silly Zhu, what do you think of your uncle?"

Sha Zhu, who was originally pulling Uncle Yi Zhonghai back to find a way to save his sister Qin, heard Uncle Yi Zhonghai suddenly say something and his brain froze for a moment.
