Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

Chapter 162: The Joint Backstab of Two Masters (Second Update)
"Isn't it just a box of vegetables... Wang Dong, things are not as exaggerated as you say..." Yi Zhonghai still wanted to suppress the matter, so he could only weaken the influence of a box of vegetables as much as possible.

Wang Dong didn't intend to let Yi Zhonghai get away with it so easily, so he interrupted him on the spot: "Exaggerated..."

"Master..."

"You are a fitter in the steel mill, earning more than 100 yuan a month. You are rich and powerful, so you don't care about chicken and braised pork worth five yuan."

"We can't..."

"We are all ordinary workers in the steel mill. Many residents don't even have jobs. They can only do odd jobs outside and earn 10 to 20 yuan a month."

"Five dollars is equivalent to several days' wages for us, but it's nothing in your eyes?"

"Do you know how long it has been since the residents of this courtyard had eaten meat?"

"From what I know, many residents haven't had braised pork in half a year."

"And our Master He stole five yuan worth of braised pork and pork from the steel mill kitchen..."

"Such a bad behavior is nothing in your eyes..."

"If this happened in my house, and Master He ran into my house and stole five yuan worth of braised pork and chicken, I would beat him half to death and report him to the police to send him to labor camp..."

A resident felt the same way and immediately responded: "My family hasn't eaten pork for almost half a year. If Sha Zhu really dares to run to my house to steal meat, I will break his legs..."

Another resident shouted indignantly: "Breaking two arms is a minor punishment. If someone comes to my house and steals something worth five dollars, I will break both his legs..."

Seeing that the residents were getting more and more outrageous and the general meeting was slowly getting out of his control, Yi Zhonghai quickly interrupted: "Everyone, be quiet..."

"I just said the wrong thing..."

"I'm here to apologize to everyone... He Yuzhu deserved the punishment for stealing the five-dollar braised pork and chicken in the steel mill's kitchen. There is nothing wrong with the steel mill's punishment for him..."

"But the general meeting now is to find out who reported He Yuzhu..."

"Wait a minute..." Wang Dong didn't give Yi Zhonghai a chance to speak and interrupted him again.

"Uncle, it's my fault that I'm young and can't think straight... I want to ask you, what is your purpose in insisting on finding the whistleblower?"

"Isn't it to retaliate against the whistleblower?"

Yi Zhonghai quickly shook his head: "That's not the case... Wang Dong, you're overthinking it..."

"I just want to tell the reporter that if you encounter this kind of thing in the future, it is best to discuss it with the three of us first, and if it can be resolved in the hospital, then resolve it in the hospital..."

"Try not to make such a big fuss..."

Wang Dong did not indulge Yi Zhonghai at all and continued to ask: "According to your meaning..."

"The whistleblower's report to the steel mill security department that He Yuzhu stole food from the canteen was wrong. Our Siheyuan does not encourage such reporting behavior."

"If you really think so..."

"I'm going to ask the security department now..."

"Who is more important, the steel mill security guard or the three uncles in the yard..."

"Why do residents in the courtyard need to get the consent of the three uncles when they find someone doing something bad and want to report it?"

"It seems that the uncle is still very dissatisfied with the fact that Master He was reported..."

"In this case, I must ask the security department and the leaders of the steel mill carefully..." "In the future, if I find someone violating the factory rules in the steel mill, do I have to go back to the courtyard and report to the three uncles first? I can only report to the steel mill after getting your consent..."

"When did you three masters gain such great power that you can even interfere in the internal affairs of the steel mill..."

The third uncle Yan Fugui was the first to react and immediately raised an objection: "Dongzi..."

"This matter has nothing to do with me. When you report this matter to the leaders of the steel mill, please do not involve me."

"It is our responsibility as ordinary people to proactively report bad people and bad things to the street office, the steel mill security department, and the police. No one can deprive others of their right to report, and no one is qualified to deprive others of their right to report..."

"I can't control other courtyards..."

"Anyway, in the front, as long as you encounter injustice or illegal things, I welcome you to take the initiative to report to your superiors and the steel mill security department."

"Even if I, the third uncle, have committed a crime, I welcome everyone to report it to the higher-ups."

Liu Haizhong's lifelong dream is to become an official. If the leaders of the steel mill knew that he, a second uncle in a courtyard, dared to interfere in the affairs of the steel mill, it would definitely leave a bad impression on the leaders, and he might even be punished. Then he would never have the chance to become an official in the future.

He shook his head like a rattle and immediately replied: "Uncle Third is indeed a scholar in our courtyard. His words are pleasant and well-reasoned..."

"The superiors often come to the courtyard to publicize anti-espionage activities, so that we can report any suspicious targets to them as soon as possible."

"learn by analogy……"

"Then if we discover other illegal and disorderly activities, we must report them to our superiors immediately to reduce the losses and prevent the person who made the mistake from making a bigger mistake..."

"Dongzi..."

"Old Yi's thoughts do not represent my thoughts..."

Yi Zhonghai was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui were so easily frightened.

Wang Dong made them break out in cold sweats with just a few casual words, and he even stabbed them in the back in front of all the residents in the compound.

If this matter really gets to the steel mill, it will definitely be my fault, and I might even be labeled as someone who has unclear right and wrong, which would be too much of a loss.

He quickly shook his head: "Wang Dong..."

"That's not what I meant..."

"Then why do you want to keep finding the whistleblower?"

"Study..." Yi Zhonghai answered blurtly.

"I hope all residents in the courtyard can learn from the whistleblower and report any illegal or disorderly activities to their superiors immediately, instead of reporting to the three uncles in the courtyard first."

Wang Dong pretended to be enlightened and said, "So that's how it is. It seems I misunderstood you."

"But uncle...if you just want to call on everyone to learn from the whistleblower and find the whistleblower, then it's a bit unnecessary."

"Because the residents in our yard are all good people, they will report any illegal activities immediately and will never favor any particular person..."

"And you can ask everyone...if someone really reports something illegal to their superiors, would you be willing to let others know?"

"As far as I know, both the superiors and the steel mill security department will keep the identity of the whistleblower confidential in order to avoid retaliation against the whistleblower. You are not going to disobey the higher-ups' policy, are you?"
