Siheyuan (traditional courtyard house): 52 years of farming, producing hundreds of millions of tons

"Old lady, you know perfectly well..."

Jia Zhangshi was furious.

The deaf old woman knew perfectly well that the pumpkins were stolen, yet she still threatened them, saying that if they didn't give them pumpkins to eat, she would tell Wan Ping'an and the others that they had stolen them.

just now.

The deaf old woman turned the tables and shifted all the blame onto them.

Of course, Jia Zhangshi was unwilling.

"Jia Zhangshi, shut up and don't talk nonsense."

"Some say, don't talk nonsense if you don't know the facts. The consequences of talking recklessly are serious, do you understand?"

Yi Zhonghai panicked; Jia Zhangshi was about to bite the deaf old woman.

This is not okay.

In his haste, he disregarded everything else and warned Jia-Zhang.

"Yi Zhonghai, you really think you can do whatever you want just because you're a big shot? Such blatant threats and intimidation, do you think we're all fools?"

Wan Ping'an made sarcastic remarks.

“I’m not threatening you, I’m just reminding Jia Zhangshi to tell the truth.”

Yi Zhonghai, of course, would not admit it.

"I lied to the deaf old lady, saying that the pumpkin was a gift from someone else, and that she had no idea about it from the beginning and it had nothing to do with her!"

Jia Zhangshi gritted her teeth and removed the deaf old lady from the body.

She is not stupid.

She knew very well that if she wanted to stay in the courtyard house, she couldn't afford to offend Yi Zhonghai, or she wouldn't have a good life.

"Officer, if the Jia family's crimes are proven true, and I mean if, how many years will they have to serve in prison?"

Wan Pingan inquired.

"If it's true, it will take at least three years."

The old police officer answered.

Gudong!

Jia Zhangshi collapsed to the ground.

Jia Gensheng and Jia Dongxu were no better off.

"Officer, does that mean we won't go to jail if Wan Ping'an doesn't pursue the matter?"

"I asked, trembling," Jia Zhangshi asked.

All eyes were on the old constable.

The old constable's answer was crucial to the fate of the Jia family, and everyone wanted to know if the Jia family was really going to go to jail.

"If we don't pursue this matter, you can avoid jail time, but you'll be locked up for a few days."

The old police officer nodded.

When handling cases, they mostly focus on mediation, and only in some serious cases will they take the person back directly.

"Ping An, we've lived in the same courtyard for so many years, please give our family another chance!"

Jia Gensheng knelt down before Wan Ping'an again.

"Alright, I'll give you one chance!"

"Just now, Jia Zhangshi demanded 100 yuan, plus 100 pumpkins, for a total value of 200 yuan."

“I’ll let you three go, but each of you will receive two hundred yuan, and you’ll give me six hundred yuan. At the same time, you must apologize to me in public.”

Wan Ping'an made the request.

hum!

The scene was boiling.

"My God, six hundred yuan? Wan Ping'an is really asking for the moon."

"Old Jia's annual salary is only a little over seven hundred. With Wan Ping'an's offer, it's like Old Jia has worked for nothing all year!"

"Wan Ping'an is ruthless!"

“For example, the Jia family was ruthless. They extorted Wan Ping’an first, and they deserved it.”

"Wan Ping'an is a ruthless man. We must never mess with him in the future, or we'll be ruined!"

Everyone was very surprised.

Simultaneously.

A sense of fear arose deep within him towards Wan Ping'an!

"Six hundred?"

"No money, not a single penny!"

Jia Zhangshi's eyes turned red.

Do you want her to pay you back?

There are no doors!

"I won't force you, but have you considered the consequences?"

“If your whole family goes to jail, your husband will definitely be fired. The steel mill won’t hire someone with a criminal record.”

“Our house also belongs to the steel rolling mill, and it will be taken back.”

“After you get out of jail, with criminal records, you definitely won’t be able to find a job and won’t have a place to live. I think your whole family will become beggars.”

Wan Ping'an sneered.

Not giving?

If you don't pay, you'll go to jail first, and then your whole family will have to beg for food.

"Waaaah, you're so cruel! I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you, okay?"

Jia Zhangshi was so frightened that she cried.

I went home to get the money.

Pay first, then apologize in public.

The old police officer announced that the three members of the Jia family would be taken back and detained for three days as punishment when they left.

"Yi Zhonghai, deaf old lady, don't you owe me an explanation?"

Wan Ping'an doesn't want to let any of them go.

"Hey Wan, I'm getting on in years, my hair's all white. Do you think you can accept my apology?"

The deaf old lady was furious.

She's an old woman, how can she apologize to a young boy?

No apology!

"Ping An, don't you know how to respect and care for the elderly?"

"The old lady is so old, she's your elder, how can you bear to make things difficult for her?"

Yi Zhonghai is resorting to moral blackmail again.

Many people nodded in agreement.

That makes some sense!

"Grandma, why don't you apologize to him and see what he can do?"

Sha Zhu stared at Wan Ping'an.

He had recovered, but his testicles, which had been kicked, were still throbbing with pain, so he dared not move much.

I want to fully recover even without half a month of rest.

"Ping An, the old lady is getting on in years, I think we should just let it go!"

"You're right. If the old lady gets agitated and something bad happens to her, would you feel good about it?"

"I think the old lady should apologize."

Neighbors.

Most people felt that the old lady shouldn't be forced to apologize.

"Let me in!"

A voice came from outside the crowd.

There was a woman in her forties or fifties with short hair who looked very capable.

"Hello, Director Wang!"
