Courtyard House: He Daqing Forces Qin Huairu into Marrying at the Beginning

As everyone was arguing, Ma Weiguo rushed back from outside the courtyard.

"Uncle He, what's wrong?"

Seeing a large crowd gathered in front of the courtyard, Ma Weiguo immediately came over to check.

Before He Daqing could answer, Liu Haizhong stepped forward.

Ma Weiguo was a security officer, and he returned just in time to arrest Yan Bugui and his accomplice.

“Ma Weiguo, they abandoned everyone else and went to buy grain on their own.”

This caused everyone to arrive a step too late, and they didn't even manage to buy any food.

They're all bad guys, arrest them right now!

Ma Weiguo did not respond immediately, but turned to look at He Daqing.

"Uncle He, is that really true?"

"That's right."

Just now, Liu Haizhong was suggesting that everyone go to Liu Haizhong and Li Shengli's house and steal the grain.

He Daqing said calmly.

To catch a thief, you must first catch his king. As long as we deal with this troublemaker, Liu Haizhong, we can succeed.

Other neighbors would then back down at the mere sight of the enemy.

"Yan Bugui and Li Shengli betrayed the collective, so all their grain should be handed over and distributed to everyone!"

Liu Haizhong was completely unaware of the mistake he had made.

The voice was passionate and powerful, as if it were about to take action at any moment.

Ma Weiguo's pupils contracted, his brows furrowed, and he stared intently at Liu Haizhong.

"Liu Haizhong, do you know what you're doing?"

Your current actions are inciting robbery.

If you actually go to Yan Bugui and Li Shengli's house to steal grain, you will be committing a crime.

He'll be arrested and taken to police station.

A country has its laws, and a family has its rules; morality cannot supersede the law.

Yan Bugui and his group did something really dishonest.

However, the people in the hospital cannot use this as an excuse to infringe upon their rights.

"They are bad people, why should I be arrested and taken to the police station!"

Liu Haizhong immediately became unhappy.

This rhythm is very wrong.

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!

Everyone came here to try Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong, but how did he end up being the unlucky one?

"Because your actions are illegal!"

Breaking the law means going to jail!

Ma Weiguo's stern voice resounded throughout the Intermediate People's Court.

Not understanding the law does not mean you can escape legal punishment.

Liu Haizhong cannot act arbitrarily by inciting public opinion.

"This...you must be mistaken."

Liu Haizhong chickened out, and his tone softened accordingly.

The security personnel were armed, so Liu Haizhong didn't dare to confront them directly.

"Whether it's right or wrong, you can go to the police station and ask yourself."

Do you want me to take you there?

"No, no need."

This is just a misunderstanding, let's not bother with it.

With his head swaying like a fan, Liu Haizhong took a few steps back and slunk away.

Seeing that Liu Haizhong had run away, the other neighbors also lost their will to argue and dispersed.

"Uncle He, our courtyard is really lively."

This is also the first time Ma Weiguo has been involved in a dispute within the hospital.

I never imagined that such a big thing could happen in such a small courtyard house.

However, he didn't make a big deal out of it or make things too difficult for Liu Haizhong.

After all, the robbery didn't actually happen.

Even if you go to the police station, at most you'll get a few words of criticism and education.

Going back and forth wastes Ma Weiguo's time.

"They're all just bored and looking for things to do."

You'll get used to it.

There weren't many entertainment options in this era.

The neighbors in the courtyard, who weren't very educated, liked to cause trouble.

"If everyone were like you, Uncle He, life would be so peaceful."

Uncle He, what's your opinion on the rising food prices?

With such a commotion going on outside, Ma Weiguo had naturally heard about it.

He wanted to hear He Daqing's opinion.

"Grain prices will drop soon, don't worry."

However, in the coming years, we should still maintain the habit of stockpiling grain.

To avoid further fluctuations, which would be very troublesome.

He Daqing kindly reminded him.

The food supply shortage will continue for decades to come.

We need to be fully prepared.

Chapter 99 Losing money

Faced with the actions of those who exploit fear to drive up grain prices, the government swiftly intervened in the market with decisive measures.

We urge major grain banks to stabilize grain prices and restore market order.

Just a few days after the turmoil began, grain prices started to fall.

In less than half a month, grain prices had returned to their previous levels.

The vital livelihood of the people in Beijing has been properly guaranteed.

Inside the courtyard, Yan Bugui and Li Shengli, their faces long and mournful, were complaining to He Daqing.

"Great Qing Dynasty, what kind of mess is this?"

The grain we bought at several times the price has dropped in price so quickly.

One investment and one exit, and I've lost a fortune.

Do you think the government has offered any compensation or anything?

Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to make a living.

Yan Bugui sighed repeatedly.

During the period of skyrocketing grain prices, their two families were the quickest to act and bought the most grain.

Therefore, the hospital suffered the most losses.

In the past two weeks, the money lost could have bought several hundred kilograms of grain.

That's almost half a year's worth of food for the whole family.

Yan Bugui, who is usually very stingy, was heartbroken.

That's even crueler than cutting off his flesh.

"That's right, the rise in grain prices is all the fault of those people in the grain stores."

They should be made to return all the extra money they've earned.

Li Shengli's salary was higher than Yan Bu's, so his situation was slightly better, but it still hurt his wallet.

Having lost so much money, it will take a year and a half to recover.

He Daqing gave them both a disapproving look, shook his head, and said seriously.

"I've already explained it to you before."

The price of grain will come down soon, so you won't have to rush to buy it.

You wouldn't listen, you insisted on joining in the commotion.

Now we've suffered huge losses, but who can we blame?

"We're already being lenient by not pursuing your mistakes."

Adults must be responsible for their own actions.

Yan Bugui and Li Shengli are reaping what they sowed.

Ignoring advice and acting recklessly by following the crowd will inevitably lead to bitter consequences that one must bear alone.
