Siheyuan: I live next door to Xu Damao, my last name is Cao

Xu Damao was gloating behind the scenes.

He was really happy to see Sha Zhu being caught.

I feel even happier than the big meal I just had.

Yi Zhonghai was also among them. He came here with Director Yang and his team.

When Yi Zhonghai saw Sha Zhu and Jia Dongxu being brought out together, he was very confused.

What is going on? Why were both people who were supposed to provide for themselves in their old age arrested?

He knew that Jia Dongxu had been secretly taking steel out, because it happened more than once or twice. He had specifically told Jia Dongxu before, asking him not to steal anything, as this would cause trouble sooner or later.

Jia Dongxu restrained himself for a while and Yi Zhonghai didn't care about him anymore, but he didn't expect that he would be caught today.

As for Shazhu bringing a lunch box, this is actually a tacit acceptance in the steel rolling mill. Almost every cook in the factory will bring it home, and they usually don't pay much attention to it. How come he was caught today?

Yi Zhonghai was very confused, but he didn't know what to say. Now that both of them had been charged with crimes by Director Yang, he couldn't come out and contradict Director Yang.

Director Yang thought about it and decided that although they had made mistakes, it would not be easy to fire them.

Besides, Shazhu is still useful. He is quite good at cooking and can be used to entertain guests.

So he thought about it and gave the punishment.

"He Yuzhu, you passed the work grade assessment today, right? Since you made a mistake today, you will be assigned the original work grade. You will also be banned from taking assessments for a year, and you will be required to pay compensation for the state property you stole in the past few years."

"Since this is Jia Dongxu's first offense, let's forgive him this time. Deduct his salary for this month and ask him to return the stolen items."

"I hope you can reflect on yourselves and not make such mistakes of principle again in the future."

Afterwards, Director Yang left without looking back.

Fortunately, the guests had already been sent away, otherwise Director Li Yang would definitely not let them go so easily.

After receiving the order, Zhang Dabiao began to question Sha Zhu: "Tell me, how much have you stolen in these years? If you calculate it at 50 cents a day, it would be at least 100 or 200 a year. How many years have you worked in the steel mill..."

Sha Zhu was ready to accept the punishment, but when he heard what Zhang Dabiao said, he immediately became angry.

"How can you count like that? I don't bring lunch boxes home every day, and I only started doing this last year, not that many times in total."

If Zhang Dabiao calculated it this way, Sha Zhu would have to pay at least a thousand yuan, but he doesn't even have that much in total, so what can he use to pay?

Zhang Dabiao looked at the captain, who nodded. Then he said, "Then let's calculate it based on two years, 300 yuan a year, and you need to pay yuan."

Sha Zhu felt his pockets and found only a dozen yuan in change, how could there be three hundred yuan? His money was at home.

"Count less, I don't have that much in total."

"I have no choice. I am just completing the task assigned by the factory director. Please cooperate with us."

Sha Zhu could only turn his eyes to Yi Zhonghai.

Fortunately, Uncle is here.

What else could Yi Zhonghai do? No normal person would carry 300 yuan on him.

"Comrade, please let He Yuzhu go home first. No one can afford so much money right now."

Zhang Dabiao looked at the captain again. He was just a small pawn and had no power to make decisions.

Captain Qi Jianming said: "Okay, then He Yuzhu, you can just hand over the money to the finance department tomorrow, and then you can leave."

Xu Damao watched until the end, and after Sha Zhu was released, he followed Yi Zhonghai over.

.......

On the way back, they

"Silly Zhu, what's going on? Why were both of you arrested?"

Yi Zhonghai asked doubtfully.

Sha Zhu said angrily: "I don't know why. They stopped me when I was carrying my lunch box and wouldn't let me leave. Then they arrested me and called the factory manager over."

Sha Zhu is feeling very upset now. He actually lost three hundred yuan today, and his work grade, which he had worked so hard to get promoted, was unexpectedly stuck.

It feels uncomfortable, as if ants are crawling on my body.

If calculated this way, Sha Zhu felt that he had lost at least five hundred yuan.

Normally I should get 41.5 yuan next month, including the subsidy it will be 43.5 yuan.

A year's salary is quite a lot.

Moreover, Sha Zhu also left a bad impression on Director Yang.

"Where's Dongxu?"

Yi Zhonghai turned and asked Jia Dongxu.

Jia Dongxu felt even more aggrieved. "I just threw my things over the wall and was about to leave when I was caught by the security department. They accused me of stealing and wouldn't let me leave."

"I told you a long time ago not to take it, not to take it, but you didn't listen. Now you know what happened. Remember this lesson from now on."

Yi Zhonghai said with some regret.

Fortunately, Jia Dongxu was not punished too severely, he was only fined one month's salary.

Otherwise, their family would have trouble living.

Yi Zhonghai sighed, "Zhu Zi, just consider yourself unlucky. The factory manager was very angry at that time. You probably won't get your money back."

Sha Zhu rolled his eyes and wanted to take some money from Jia Dongxu, but then he changed his mind and realized that Jia Dongxu's family was already living in a difficult situation. If he asked them for money, then Qin Jie's family would have an even harder time. Besides, he might not give it to him even if he asked, so he didn't say anything else.

In this matter, I can only blame myself for my bad luck.

When we returned to the courtyard, everyone in the courtyard was saying that Sha Zhu had been sent to prison.

This was the news spread by the second uncle when he came back.

He was a level six fitter and did not have lunch with Director Yang and his colleagues. After finishing the free meal offered by the steel rolling mill, he went straight back.

When the second uncle came back, he happened to see Sha Zhu and Jia Dongxu being caught by the security department.

"Silly Zhu, why are you back? Weren't you arrested by the factory?"

The third uncle asked in surprise.

They were in the courtyard and had planned to visit Sha Zhu after some time, but they didn't expect that he would come back by himself.

"You just went to the police station."

Sha Zhu said angrily.

"How do you talk to your uncle like that?" Yi Zhonghai scolded Sha Zhu.

Then I asked the third uncle what was going on.

The third uncle said that it was the second uncle who said that, and Yi Zhonghai immediately understood what was going on.

So he said, "This is just a misunderstanding. Shazhu and the others were just cooperating with the Security Department to investigate something, and so was Dongxu. Now everything is fine, so they came back."

Yi Zhonghai was helping them cover up. After all, it was not good to have such a reputation.

No matter what you do in the future, it is always bad to have a bad reputation.

The third uncle suddenly realized that this was the case. No wonder Sha Zhu and the others were not caught.
