Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

Chapter 122: Yi Zhonghai's Aftermath (First Update)
The man scolded without any hesitation: "What good things are you thinking about?"

"This lunch box of yours is worth at least four dollars, but you want to send me away for only fifty cents..."

"Do you think all the money in my house comes from the wind?"

"Just now I gave you a chance to leave your lunch box but you didn't agree. Now even if you leave your lunch box I won't let you go easily!"

"I prepared five pounds of pork for my son's full-month banquet, which was supposed to be a great thing, but you took away more than a pound of pork, causing everyone to not eat well and making me, the host, lose face. You must take responsibility for this!"

Seeing that the host's words were getting more and more exaggerated, He Yuzhu finally realized the seriousness of the problem.

Before he could say anything, two police officers were brought in by the neighbors.

"what happened?"

"What are you all doing here?"

The older police officer spoke first.

"Comrade Public Security... My son is having a full-month banquet today, and I would like to ask Master He to help with the cooking... We agreed on a one-dollar salary..."

"It turned out that Master He had hidden more than a pound of pork belly without telling us... so our relatives and friends couldn't eat well!"

"I just asked him to leave the lunch box..."

"In the end, Master He didn't know what was good for him and actually refused..."

"The pork belly, fish nuggets, and chicken legs in his lunch box are worth at least four dollars!"

"I only make about 40 yuan a month at the steel mill!"

"He is good..."

"I just want to take home the meat and vegetables that I can only buy with three days' wages..."

"This is really too much. Please ask the police to help me make the decision!"

The old policeman first fixed his eyes on the lunch box that He Yuzhu opened.

It was filled to the brim with all kinds of meat and vegetables. Considering the current prices in Pigeon City, even if it wasn't worth four dollars, it wouldn't be much different.

more importantly.

Even if you take the money and go to Pigeon Market, you may not be able to buy so much pork, chicken, and fish...

Looking at the neighbors around, they all glared at He Yuzhu... From this, it can be seen that this matter is probably true...

Finally, he turned his gaze to He Yuzhu: "Master He..."

"Is what he just said true?"

The arrival of the police scared He Yuzhu greatly. It was the moment he saw the police that he truly realized the seriousness of taking food privately.

In the past, when I cooked for those cadres, my family had no shortage of the meat and vegetables that I took away. Besides, they were also people who cared about face, so they wouldn't say anything even if they had an objection to me taking the vegetables.

It’s different now…

The bowl of meat and vegetables that I took away was equivalent to three days' salary of others, so it would definitely not be a waste of money for me.

In addition, he had just been sentenced to labor reform by the street and was currently in the observation period. He could not make mistakes easily, which made him even more afraid.

He immediately lowered his arrogant head, and said with a smile on his face: "Comrade Public Security..."

"This is all a misunderstanding..."

"I used to cook for others and bring food home. I forgot that now there is a shortage of supplies and I can't bring food home!"

"I'll keep the food in the lunch box...I don't want any wages..."

"Just consider it as compensation to the master!"

The male host refused without hesitation: "No..."

"I just gave you a chance, but you didn't agree..."

"Now that there's such a big commotion, even the neighbors and the police have been alerted... You want to settle it for one dollar, which is too cheap for you..."

"You stole four dollars' worth of meat and vegetables..."

"Deduct one dollar from your wages, and spend three dollars with me...it shouldn't be too much!"

The old policeman nodded: "In the past, when we encountered such a thing, we would punish the theft three times..."

"You're already very polite by only asking Master He to compensate the original price!"

"Master He...what do you think?"

He Yuzhu was getting anxious now, and couldn't wait to leave. He nodded quickly, "I agree..." Then he reached into his pocket, and an embarrassed expression appeared on his face...

He suddenly realized that he didn't bring a penny with him today...

wrong……

He must be out of money!

Out of a salary of more than 20 yuan, 10 yuan was given to Yu Shui, 7 yuan was given to the Jia family, and 5 yuan was lent to Qin Huairu two days ago...

Including what he spent himself, he had almost spent all his monthly salary. He was counting on today's wages to ensure he wouldn't go hungry next week.

As a result, I didn't earn any wages, but instead had to pay three dollars.

If there was a crack on the ground, He Yuzhu would definitely crawl into it first!
At the critical moment, Yi Zhonghai finally arrived.

After hearing the whole story, he also realized that He Yuzhu was irrational.

He originally wanted to use moral blackmail and borrow his reputation as an eighth-level fitter in the steel rolling mill to waive the three-dollar compensation.

But after seeing the sharp looks of the two police officers, he gave up!

The moral kidnapping he talks about is useful for ordinary people, but it is just a monkey showing off in front of the police. It is not only useless but also embarrassing.

He looked at He Yuzhu fiercely and said, "Zhuzi..."

"Why can't you be more steady?"

"The host has already provided you with lunch, and even brought some food home..."

"I'll pay you three dollars first..."

Yi Zhonghai reluctantly took out three dollars and said a lot of nice things before he took He Yuzhu out of the courtyard, and then he gave him a scolding.

"Pillar……"

"I didn't mean you..."

"I reminded you when you told me you were going to take over..."

"The people living near us are ordinary people... not the cadres you used to sit at!"

"For ordinary people, not to mention a piece of meat, even a steamed bun made of 200 grams of flour is a treasure."

"Give them a seat, they can only eat, not take!"

"After the banquet is over, I'll get paid and leave... Why don't you listen?"

"The host of your table today is a fitter in a steel mill. He only asked you to pay four dollars for my sake!"

"If you run into another host that's hard to talk to, triple the compensation won't be enough!"

He Yuzhu also showed a trace of fear on his face, and quickly apologized: "Uncle..."

"It's my fault today..."

"Some habits have not been corrected yet..."

"I will never make the same mistake again..."

"I'll have to trouble you to help me take on more banquets in the future!"

"The level of work at the steel mill has been downgraded, and the salary is also low... If I don't take on the job to earn some wages... I won't be able to borrow money from Sister Qin again in the future!"

Seeing that He Yuzhu had a positive attitude and gave most of the wages he earned from taking over the meeting to Jia Dongxu, Yi Zhonghai's expression immediately looked better.

Very satisfied, he said: "This won't happen again..."

…………

The kitchen of the steel rolling mill.

As soon as Wang Dong entered the door, Master Li called him to the side: "Team Leader..."

"I just heard a piece of news: Sha Zhu was almost arrested by the police yesterday for helping someone prepare a banquet!"

"We're having a feast, so we're having a feast... but we're secretly stealing the pork that the host bought with great difficulty..."

"You've brought shame upon our cook!"

"I heard that even the police were alerted. Not only did I not receive a penny of wages, but I also had to pay the owner several dollars..."
