But there was no other way. He couldn't afford to offend Zhong Shan, and he was not in the right, so he could only vent his anger on Wang Baogui.

On that day, Director Liu Caiyun and Director Bai took Wang Baogui and his colleagues back to Xinjiekou. It was up to Director Liu to decide how to deal with them next.

After get off work that evening, Zhong Shan came to the Song family again. This time, it was Song Lili's uncle who came to thank Zhong Shan.

When Zhongshan arrived at his father-in-law's house, as expected, his uncle Zhang Cunqing and his family were all there.

"Uncle, aunt, they are all here."

"Hey, Zhongshan is here. You must be tired after a long day. Come in quickly."

Song Lili's aunt was particularly enthusiastic today. After all, she had just helped their family a lot. Not only did she rescue Zhang Cunqing, but she also did it in a thorough manner. Her reputation and background were not affected. In this era, this is particularly important.

What made them even happier was that Jia Nanfeng was also admitted. Now it can be said that Director Zhang Cunqing's position is secure. This can be considered an unexpected surprise.

In front of his elders, Zhong Shan certainly couldn't be proud of himself. He exchanged a few polite words with the two of them before entering the house.

"Dad, Mom, you two came back early today."

"Isn't it your uncle who is here today? He wants to thank you for your great contribution. We came back early on purpose."

Seeing that her brother was giving her face, Song's mother felt embarrassed to speak up, so she had to bring it up herself. Neither side was a stranger, one was her own brother, and the other was her son-in-law, so it was appropriate for her to speak in the middle.

Zhong Shan waved his hands quickly after hearing this.

"Hey, why are you talking about thanking or not among family members? This is really awkward. This is also because my uncle usually has a good style. He was wronged in the first place, and I just pushed him away. Otherwise, it would be really difficult to deal with it."

Although Zhong Shan said it lightly, everyone in the room knew what had happened and naturally would not think so.

But since Zhong Shan said so, they just listened to it.

"Come, the food is ready. We've been waiting for you. Let's eat. Why isn't Lili here?"

"It's inconvenient for Lili to be with her. I plan to ask her not to go to work in the next two days and let her stay at home to take care of the baby."

Now the disadvantage of having no elderly people at home has become apparent. Zhongshan's father-in-law and mother-in-law are busy with work every day and have no time, and Zhongshan is alone. Now if Song Lili stays at home to take care of her pregnancy, there will be no one around her.

This is exactly what Zhongshan is struggling with. If he goes to work, even though he has to walk to the office every day, at least there are people around him. But if he goes back home to take care of the pregnancy, there will be no way, as he will be alone.

If there is really no other way, you can only ask an old lady to take care of the child in the courtyard.

Their family has always had a good relationship with Yi Zhonghai's family, and Auntie Yi is one of the few truly kind-hearted people in the compound. Zhongshan can feel more at ease leaving the case to her.

After hearing Zhong Shan's words, Song's mother also took it to heart. How could she not feel pain for her own daughter? It was indeed not easy to go to work every day with a big belly.

After eating at his father-in-law's house, Zhong Shan didn't stay long and hurried home. Song Lili was still at home, and Zhong Shan was worried about leaving her alone at home.

Over in Xinjiekou, Wang Baogui and his gang were sentenced within a few days. Of course, the grain store manager had a hand in this.

He was the most anxious person. He needed to settle the matter quickly. Once Liu Yun and the others were sentenced, he would have fewer worries. Otherwise, this matter would be like a sword hanging over his head. It would be a problem until it was resolved.

The ones who received the heaviest sentences were the most innocent Wang Laowu and his father. They were completely implicated by Wang Baogui. Most of the relevant departments knew about the numerous speculators, but generally did not care. Ordinary people really needed the pigeon market, so they would turn a blind eye to them.

The same goes for these two people. Hou Saner found out about their speculation so easily, and others naturally knew about it as well. They had been living in peace until disaster struck.

The father and son Wang Laowu engaged in reselling and violently resisted the law, and even resold the supplies that Liu Yun had stolen from the grain store. After being paraded for several days, they finally had to eat peanuts.

In this matter, the two most innocent people are the two people who were shot.

Liu Yun stole public property and poached from the grain store. Jia Nanfeng and her brother-in-law Liu Xiaoli both had bad work styles and had promiscuous relationships with both men and women. They also paraded in the streets and held large meetings. However, because these people had people sponsoring them and they spent a lot of money, they were only sentenced to a few years in prison.

As an executor, Wang Baogui does not have much negative information on him. Most of the things he did were considered correct in the eyes of some people in this era, and the rest were just trivial matters.

The most serious charge was abusing his power and shielding his wife from reselling state supplies. Although he was also charged with this, his charge was the lightest compared to the others.

There was also the most innocent accountant Xu. He had nothing to do with the case, but because Liu Yun found him, he only appeared for a few minutes and then lost his job.

However, because the grain store manager protected him, he did not receive any other punishment. But because of these few minutes, he lost his job just before retirement, which was enough to make Accountant Xu angry.

Zhong Shan was quite satisfied with this result. There was no hatred between him and these people. They were all implicated because of his wife's uncle. In fact, he didn't care too much about the fate of these people.

It was just because Wang Baogui cleared the obstacles for his good friend Liu Xiaoli's brother-in-law, and of course it was also for a little bit of benefit.

According to a young lady named Zhong in later generations, "a small abuse of power" led to the destruction of the Wang family, and it is not known whether it was worth it.

Of course, they were not wronged. After all, they were the ones who did the things themselves, and the blisters on their feet were caused by themselves, so they cannot blame others.

As Song Lili's due date approached, Zhong Shan devoted most of his energy to the family. Even when he was at work, he would come back to visit her whether he had something to do or not.

The situation in the courtyard is still the same. The second aunt of the Liu family in the backyard basically does not express her opinions. The brothers and sisters of the old Zhong family have some absolute say. The middle courtyard is still dominated by Yi Zhonghai. Although Yi Zhonghai is no longer the eldest uncle, the Jia family and He Yuzhu in the middle courtyard will still respect his opinions. Behind closed doors, Yi Zhonghai is still the patriarch of the middle courtyard.

Only the front yard of Zhongshan's family is relatively complicated. The relationship between Zhongshan's family and Yan's family is not very good now, and they take care of themselves. The conditions of the remaining residents in the back houses and on both sides of the corridor houses are not very good. Except for the occasional winter when they can't make ends meet, the courtyard donates some money and food to these families. Their presence is not very strong at other times.
