Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

Yesterday, Wang Dong was still considering whether to expose the affair between Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu in the yard.

Although Yi Zhonghai deserved this punishment, Wang Dong also wanted to take this opportunity to make Yi Zhonghai lose face in Siheyuan, and even have him criticized by the street and punished by the steel mill.

But Qin Huairu did not provoke him.

If this matter were to be exposed, Qin Huairu would be in great trouble, and she was worried that this might be a bit too much.

Now Wang Dong doesn’t think so anymore.

Qin Huairu, like Yi Zhonghai, is a man who wants to torture himself and his wife to death.

Since other people don't care about the feelings of their neighbors, what else should I care about?

Seeing that Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai both had smug expressions, as if they were sure of their own situation, Wang Dong was not going to indulge them and asked directly: "Second uncle, Qin Huairu, who told you that Sister Jun and I are not married?"

"We are cadres, and we should set an example and not violate the laws of our country."

"If we weren't married, do you think Sister Jun and I would sleep in the same room?"

Qin Huairu finally got hold of something that could use against Wang Dong to send him to jail and get him to lose his job at the steel mill. He would not give up easily no matter what.

He shouted at the top of his voice: "Comrade Public Security..."

"Don't listen to Wang Dong's nonsense."

"They are only engaged, not married."

"Mr. Chen has just graduated from college. He cannot get married during college."

"They have no time to get married."

"Besides, they didn't hold a wedding banquet in the courtyard for such a big event, so I'm sure they're not married. Sleeping together at night is just a casual affair. Don't let them fool you."

"We must punish them severely and give our courtyard a clean and peaceful life."

"What are you all still standing there for? Hurry up and catch him..."

At the end of the conversation, Qin Huairu wanted to pounce on Wang Dong, arrest him, and send him to the police station.

The police captain who led the team was an old policeman. Seeing that Wang Dong had a calm expression and was confident when he said he was getting married without any worry on his face, he immediately realized that Qin Huairu and the others had made a mistake in this matter.

Seeing that Qin Huairu, a shrew, was actually ordering him around, the team leader, who was already filled with rage, started to curse with an angry expression.

"Shut up……"

"Am I the police or are you the police?"

"I have the final say on whether to arrest someone or not. It's not up to you to arrest someone."

Seeing that the police he brought with him not only did not arrest Wang Dong, but got angry with him instead, Qin Huairu's face flashed with panic.

But when Wang Dong thought about the dangerous situation he was facing, his panic expression was replaced by excitement again. He looked at the police in front of him and threatened them righteously: "Comrade Public Security..."

"You guys are not trying to protect each other just because Wang Dong and Chen Jun are both officials at the steel mill, right?"

"Hurry up and arrest them, otherwise I will go to the higher-ups and sue you..."

"If no one is in charge, I will go to Tiananmen Square and bang my head against the wall. I don't believe that we can't find someone to take charge of our own affairs."

Seeing Qin Huairu threatening and intimidating him, the police captain who led the team almost laughed out loud.

He frowned and asked in a bad tone, "If you want to sue, go ahead."

"When we arrest people, we have to look at the evidence. We can't arrest people based on just one word."

Yi Zhonghai was anxious, and subconsciously thought that the police officers in front of him were on Wang Dong's side, trying to speak up for Wang Dong and help him get rid of the crime, so he shouted, "What evidence do you need?"

"Two people are not married yet, but they sleep in the same room and come out of the same room early in the morning. If this is not an affair, what is it..."

"Comrade Public Security, if you want to protect Wang Dong, I will go to your leader now. I don't believe that there is not even a leader who can uphold justice in the city."

The police captain didn't expect that his old comrade Yi Zhonghai would come out to disturb him in handling the case.

His frown deepened at this time, and he retorted unhappily: "We, the police, have our own set of procedures for handling cases, and we must follow the procedures."

"Although you are the second uncle of the courtyard, you still cannot control how our police handle cases."

"If you think I'm speaking for Wang Dong, feel free to sue me."

After saying that, he turned to Wang Dong and asked: "Comrade Wang Dong..."

"You just said you were married, do you have any evidence?"

Seeing that the police who came to surround him were quite polite, the solemn expression on Wang Dong's face suddenly relaxed a lot, and he responded with a smile.

"Of course there is..."

Then he said to Chen Jun who was standing beside him, "Wife, quickly take out our marriage certificate and show it to everyone."

"By the way, I want to tell you that Sister Jun and I are already married and are a legal couple recognized by the state. Don't report us for having affairs anymore."

Chen Jun quickly took out the marriage certificate which looked like an award certificate and handed it to the leading policeman.

With just a glance, the police knew that the marriage certificate in their hands was genuine.

Then he looked at the time below the marriage certificate, which was exactly Monday of this week, and an expression of sudden enlightenment appeared on his face.

He raised the marriage certificate in his hand and said, "Comrades...the whole thing is a huge misunderstanding."

"Comrade Wang Dong and Comrade Chen Jun just got their marriage certificate five days ago and then moved in together. They are not having an affair."

"If anyone doesn't believe this, they can take a look at Comrade Wang Dong's marriage certificate."

"How is this possible?" Qin Huairu's face flashed with shock, her eyes widened, and she shouted in disbelief.

Yi Zhonghai's reaction was similar to Qin Huairu's. He took the marriage certificate handed over by the police and his face was full of disappointment after confirming that there was no problem.

But it was quickly covered up, looking at Wang Dong embarrassedly and answering: "Dongzi... this is a misunderstanding..."

"We didn't know you were married."

"Besides, you didn't even tell me, your uncle, about such a big thing as getting married. If you had told me earlier, there wouldn't be this misunderstanding today."

Wang Dong didn't want to give Yi Zhonghai face at all. He snorted coldly and asked, "Yi Zhonghai..."

"You are just the second uncle of our courtyard. You only have the right to assist the street in promoting policies, but you have no right to control whether I get married or not."

"My own marriage is none of your business. Why should I tell you?"

"And you, Qin Huairu, make sure you find out the truth before reporting it."

"It's just a simple matter. If you come to the front yard and ask my father-in-law, the problem will be clear. But they didn't even ask and directly called the police to block the door, causing people to make a wasted trip."

"Do you know how busy the police in our city are? Because of your casual report, they were wasted several hours."

"It's just too much."

"If everyone in Beijing were like you, believing everything they hear, and reporting everything to the police, then the whole city would be in chaos." (End of this chapter)
