Siheyuan, Me and the Yu Sisters

Zhang Renkang pried Yi Zhonghai with one hand and grasped his other fist with the other hand and pressed hard. Yi Zhonghai's face was in pain, his body arched and he screamed. Seeing this, an old lady hurried forward and pulled Zhang Renkang's arm, shouting and beating him.

"Renkang, Renkang, you can't do this, let go of me!"

Zhang Renkang groaned and pushed Yi Zhonghai back. Yi Zhonghai lost his balance and sat on the ground, rubbing his fingers. Seeing Zhang Renkang so strong, everyone in the courtyard did not dare to speak. Against the backdrop of the heavy snow, Zhang Renkang said expressionlessly:

"Yi Zhonghai, I know you want to find fault with me, but you have to learn a lesson. If you don't have the ability, you should just keep your tail between your legs and act like a dog. People who don't know you would think you are a dog of the Jia family."

Then Zhang Renkang said to Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui and every household in the courtyard:

"What is the situation regarding the illegal use of painkillers? You can go to pharmacies and hospitals after the snow stops and ask. Why would I talk nonsense about such a thing?"

"As for the current situation of Jia Zhang family, if you are not worried about your family, then it is up to you to decide. However, uncle and uncle, let me remind you."

"If you learn from Yi Zhonghai to protect criminals, then Yi Zhonghai will not have to bear any responsibility, but you two are the ones in charge, so I don't need to tell you what the consequences will be, right?"

Zhang Renkang smiled and looked at Jia Zhang, who was lying in the snow and struggling madly with her mouth stuffed, and said

"Yi Zhonghai said what I was up to, but he asked you two to protect Jia Zhangshi, and he won't be held responsible in the end. Uncle Yi is afraid that he will be fired from the factory and go to labor reform with Jia Zhangshi. Uncle Er, do you think you can still work at the school? Will you go to labor reform? Does Yi Zhonghai intend to support you two families by then?"

Yan Bugui understood immediately after hearing this. Yi Zhonghai had been dismissed from his post. No matter whether Jia Zhang was really addicted to drugs or not, he would not be held responsible in the end. He and Liu Haizhong were different. They were the first to be held responsible for not reporting the incident. Yan Bugui looked at Yi Zhonghai with hatred and said to Liu Haizhong:

"Old Liu, I think Renkang is right. Let's report to Director Wang first and let the street office decide later. Smoking opium is not a minor crime."

In fact, Yan Bugui had long been dissatisfied with Jia Zhangshi. As the only person in the courtyard who was addicted to scheming every day, Jia Zhangshi was Yan Bugui's biggest headache. Not only could Jia Zhangshi not take advantage of her, but once she threw a tantrum, the Yan family had to pay a lot.

Liu Haizhong nodded and said

"Okay, let Guangtian go."

Seeing Yi Zhonghai gasping for breath on the ground, he felt extremely gloating. This Yi Zhonghai really didn't know his own weight. He even dared to offend his leader. Unlike Liu Haizhong, although he was unhappy that Zhang Renkang climbed over his head, Liu Haizhong had never had a direct conflict with Zhang Renkang from beginning to end. That's why he didn't want to offend Zhang Renkang. What if Zhang Renkang made trouble for him in the factory, and then affected Liu Haizhong's dream of progress?

Moreover, Liu Haizhong had seen what happened to Yi Zhonghai when he was in the courtyard for nearly a year, and Zhang Renkang was more respectful to him in the courtyard. Liu Haizhong would never do such a stupid thing.

Liu Guangtian opened the gate. The snow in the alley had been cleared by Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui this morning. The snow on both sides of the wall was nearly one and a half meters high. A small path was barely cleared in the middle.

Director Wang lived in the second courtyard of another alley more than 95 meters behind No. Courtyard. Liu Guangtian knocked on the door for a long time before someone opened it. An old man in a coat was surprised to see Liu Guangtian in white and asked

"Young man, you're not at home in this heavy snow. Who are you looking for?"

Liu Guangtian asked breathlessly

"Uncle, is Director Wang at home?"

When he heard that he was here to see Director Wang, the old man let Liu Guangtian in to avoid the snow, and then shouted to the courtyard:

"Wang's wife? Someone is looking for her."

Director Wang pushed open the door and saw Liu Guangtian, and asked in confusion:

"The second son of the Liu family? I just came back from your place. Isn't your yard in good condition?"

Liu Guangtian knew the seriousness of the matter when he saw Director Wang questioning him, so he didn't dare to say in public that Jia and Zhang were a couple. He walked forward and said,

"Director Wang, come with me to the courtyard to take a look. Something big has happened in our courtyard."

When Director Wang heard this, he called into the room anxiously,

"I'm going out"

He hurriedly followed Liu Guangtian out the door. After they left, Director Wang asked seriously:

"Guangtian, what happened over there? Wasn't everything fine when I went there this morning?"

Liu Guangtian couldn't explain it clearly, so he just said

"It's like the old woman from the Jia family smoked opium and had an attack."

Hearing this, Director Wang was immediately furious. Someone in her area was smoking opium. This was a big problem. If it got out, it would be her serious dereliction of duty. She hurriedly ran to the No. 95 compound in front of her in the snow.

As soon as he entered the compound, without taking a breath, Director Wang looked at the people in the middle courtyard and shouted

"What's going on? Where's Jia Zhang?"

Hearing Director Wang's voice, everyone subconsciously stepped out, revealing Jia Zhang, who was tied up. Jia Zhang, who was gagged and could only hum, had already begun to roll her eyes. Director Wang held his leg and looked at her, then angrily asked Liu Haizhong:

"Liu Haizhong, how did you get back? Why didn't you tell me when I came to inspect you?"

Seeing the angry Director Wang, Liu Haizhong dared not respond. He was so nervous that he didn't know when to speak. Yan Bugui said carefully:

"Director Wang, this is not our fault. We didn't know that Jia Zhang was addicted to painkillers."

Director Wang was so surprised that he couldn't understand what was going on. He said angrily:

"Didn't Liu Guangtian say that Jia Zhang smoked opium?"

"What the hell are you doing?"

"What are you kidding about?"

Zhang Renkang stepped forward from the backyard and said to Yan Bugui

"Second uncle, why don't you go and pour Director Wang a glass of water?"

He held Director Wang and said

"Auntie Wang, listen to me, this is an emergency situation just now."

"Ms. Jia Zhang has been taking painkillers. This was not a big deal, but this morning, the painkillers were gone at home, and Mrs. Jia Zhang suddenly went crazy and wanted to beat Qin Huairu to death, and also beat her grandson."

"As far as I know, there is a limit on the amount of painkillers that each person can take per month. I'm afraid Jia Zhang has been taking excessive amounts of the drug for a long time and has become addicted to it. The painkillers contain opium, and he is like a drug addict and has lost his mind."

After hearing what Zhang Renkang said, Director Wang first breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Jia Zhangshi didn't smoke opium, it would be fine. Then he frowned and said

"Renkang, does this painkiller contain opium?"

Zhang Renkang nodded and said

"Yes, Aunt Wang. So each person can only buy fifty cents worth of pills per month, which is one hundred pills. Now we already know that every month, Jia Zhangshi not only buys pills for herself, but also asks Qin Huairu to help her, and many women in the hospital who are unaware of the situation help buy pills. She has already taken too much. I'm afraid she is just like an opium addict."

Director Wang looked at Jia Zhang, who was already unconscious on the ground, and said

"Let go of Jia Zhang's mouth, I'll ask"

Liu Haizhong quickly squatted down and took out the rag from Jia Zhang's mouth. The smell made him almost vomit. Liu Haizhong threw it aside and said,

"Whose rag is this? It's so disgusting?"

Yan Bugui then realized that Yan Jiecheng had brought his own toilet rag. Jia Zhang was in trouble.

"Ugh, ugh, ah," he retched for a long time, cursing and shouting.

"You bastards, you dare to hide my medicine, I will never forgive you"

"Qin Huairu, you bitch, I'm going to drive you back to the countryside. You bastard, you dare to hide my medicine, do you want to kill me so that you can let down our Jia family?"

"Zhang Renkang, you little beast, you are a beast that brings misfortune to your father and mother. Your whole family smokes opium and is sent to prison for this reason."

"Liu Haizhong, you bastard, Yan Bugui has eaten the shit out of your family"

……

"Ugh, ugh!" She continued to dry heave. Hearing what Jia Zhang was saying, every household in the courtyard was furious. Director Wang didn't dare to speak out and curse at Jia Zhang. When Director Wang heard Jia Zhang's dirty words, he asked loudly:

"Ms. Jia Zhang, how many painkillers did you take?"

Jia Zhang said impatiently

"I'm spending my own money, so what's wrong with me taking medicine?"

"You have to take care of me taking medicine?"

"Why are you asking me to take medicine if you don't catch these bastards who are harming me?"

Director Wang was so angry about what Jia Zhang said that he looked at Qin Huairu for a while and said

"Qin Huairu, tell me the truth, how much does your mother-in-law eat in a month?"

"If you lie, you will be guilty of the same crime as your mother-in-law."

Qin Huairu whispered

"I don't know about my mother-in-law either. She asks me for three dollars a month to buy painkillers. How can I know how much she takes when I'm at work during the day?"

Director Wang thought for a moment and looked at everyone in the hospital and asked

"Has anyone among you bought medicine for Jia Zhang this month?"

As the first and second aunts admitted that they had helped Jia Zhang buy it, Qin Huairu said

“I haven’t bought it for my mother-in-law this month?”

Director Wang said angrily

"That's four already. Plus Jia Zhang's, that's three hundred pills. Has Jia Zhang taken three times the amount in the past half month?"

Shouted to Jia Zhang

"Ms. Jia Zhang, will you tell me how much you have consumed? If you don't admit it, don't blame me for sending you to the police station to be convicted of smoking opium."

When Jia Zhang heard that Director Wang was going to send her to shoot, she was still a little scared and shouted

"Director Wang, I'm in pain. I feel uncomfortable all over. I have a headache and my whole body aches. If I don't take painkillers, I'll die from the pain."

"I don't know. I started taking two tablets at a time, but then two tablets didn't help, so I took more to stop the pain."

Director Wang had a headache.

"Even if we send Jia Zhang to a drug rehabilitation center now, we can't get her out. I went to the main road this morning and saw that the snow had been cleared twice and was already half a knee deep. How can we take care of Jia Zhang at this time?"

As he said this, he looked at Jia Zhang with hatred. This old hag almost caused him to be dismissed from his post. If Zhang Renkang and his team hadn't discovered it early today, if Jia Zhang caused trouble again, Director Wang would probably be dismissed as well.

Director Wang looked at the house next to Jia's and said to Liu Haizhong

"First lock up Jia Zhang alone, and wait until the city is in order."

"You need to organize the personnel and keep a close watch on them, do you hear me?"

Liu Haizhong nodded repeatedly and said

"Don't worry, Director Wang, I will arrange for someone to keep a close watch on him and send him to the police station when the snow stops."

Director Wang nodded and looked at Zhang Renkang and said

"Renkang, you are also the leader of the steel mill. If there is any emergency, I authorize you to take measures first to control the situation."

As Director Wang arranged, everyone first smashed open the empty room on the side of Jia's house with a hammer. This was an unused room that had not been allocated yet. The key was at the street office, and it was really difficult to get it at the moment, so they smashed the lock and tied Jia Zhang to the pillar in the house.

Director Wang gave some instructions and then left.
