Siheyuan: I am the seventh uncle of Banggen

"Master He, no, I..." Shang Hongqi didn't know what to say.

"I just want to get back the money my father sent us; I just wanted to use it to marry a wife. I was wrong. I don't dare to do it again. I don't want it anymore," He Yuzhu said while still crying.

Shang Hongqi was pushed out of the ward by Zhang Dabao.

At this time, District Chief Wang and others saw He Yuzhu's condition, so they lifted the foot that had stepped into the ward and walked out again. They did not enter the ward, but stood in the corridor, looking at Shang Hongqi.

"Director Shang, it seems that you work very hard on a daily basis. It's not easy for the people to be so afraid of you. The organization should make use of you. After all, there are more cadres like you after the founding of New China. I often encountered them in the old society." District Chief Wang was almost unable to suppress his anger.

"Da Biao, come out," Wang Xiuqin called her nephew from outside and explained to District Chief Wang and others, "The person taking care of the patient is my sister's son. I'll ask him."

When Zhang Dabao heard his aunt calling him, he left the ward and closed the door.

"Auntie, leaders," Zhang Dabao greeted everyone.

"What's the situation with Da Biao and He Yuzhu?" Wang Xiuqin asked.

"He Yuzhu was hit hard in the chest and vomited blood after coming to the hospital. The doctor said it might be internal bleeding. He Yushui hit his head against the wall. He has been bandaged, but he has not woken up yet. Whether he can wake up or not, the doctor said it depends on his individual condition." Zhang Dabao explained the situation of the two.

"Director Shang, it seems that he has practiced martial arts before, and his blows are quite heavy. This is the person you serve, not your enemy. Can you tell me what mistake He Yuzhu made?" said District Chief Wang.

Shang Hongqi doesn’t even know how to explain it now.

"Da Biao, why? He Yuzhu is talking about money, where does the money come from?" Wang Xiuqin asked again.

"Didn't Zhuzi's father go to Baoding, Hebei in his early years? Since Yushui is not an adult yet, he sends them five yuan a month as living expenses. It has been eight years, and she hasn't received a penny until now. A few days ago, a fellow villager from the Baoding Post Office came over. Zhuzi was having dinner with him at the time and talked about this matter. The fellow villager was very enthusiastic. After returning, he checked it out and found that it was true. All 480 yuan had been deducted for eight years. So Zhuzi and his sister went to the post office to ask, but they were beaten unexpectedly. Alas!" After saying this, Zhang Dabao let out a long sigh of relief.

Shang Hongqi now understood what happened. He thought about it again and again and came to a horrible fact, "Yi Zhonghai, fuck your ancestors," Shang Hongqi cursed Yi Zhonghai.

"Shang Hongqi, is this true?" Deputy Director Geng Bo was so angry that he could no longer suppress his anger.

"Director Geng, I remember now. This happened, but the money and the letter were all taken away by Yi Zhonghai from their hospital. Who would have thought that he embezzled it all and didn't give anyone a penny? Yi Zhonghai is such a beast." Shang Hongqi now wanted to kill Yi Zhonghai.

"Is Yi Zhonghai suitable for the position? Does it comply with regulations? Did you two set up a scheme and divide the money?" Zhang Dabao asked.

"If I take a penny, I will be as broke as Yi Zhonghai," Shang Hongqi swore.

"Does God care about crime? Poor He Yuzhu and He Yushui, they both thought He Daqing didn't care about them. He abruptly severed the family relationship between the father and children of the He family. He has no humanity at all," Zhang Dabao said again.

"I can confront Yi Zhonghai," said Shang Hongqi.

"Xiao Li, go to the steel rolling mill and find Yi Zhonghai and bring him to the street office," Wang Xiuqin said to a staff member beside her.

"Let's all go to the street office, and Deputy Director Geng should come with us. Let's try to get things done today. There are too many ordinary people here today, and it would be bad if any rumors get out. Da Biao, please send us off," said Wang Xiuqin.

Everyone came out of the hospital and went to the street office. Zhang Dabao opened the motorcycle compartment and let a few unimportant and playful leaders sit on it. The others took District Chief Wang's car and went to the Hongxing Street Office.

Chapter 106 Yi Zhonghai escapes unscathed

On the first day of reporting for duty, Jia Dongxu was sent to the Red Star Post Office by the bureau leaders and the chief of personnel. As a result, he encountered the incident with He Yuzhu. He was originally worried about He Yuzhu and He Yushui, but the two were carried into the car and he did not get in, so he could not go to the hospital.

He couldn't go to work today because the director had beaten He Yuzhu and had to go to the hospital, so he couldn't be assigned any work. So Lin Hua asked him to report tomorrow.

Jia Dongxu then returned home.

"Dongxu, didn't you report to the post office today?" An old lady was a little puzzled when she saw Jia Dongxu coming back.

"I went to report. Shang Hongqi from the Red Star Post Office hit the pillar and sent the man to the hospital. Since Shang Hongqi has gone to the hospital, other people cannot arrange my work. Chief Lin asked me to go again tomorrow," said Jia Dongxu.

"Why did Director Shang hit the pillar?" An old lady felt a little uneasy.

"Shang Hongqi withheld the money sent by Zhuzi's father. Zhuzi and Yushui went to ask for it, but Shang Hongqi not only refused to give it to them but also beat them. But it shouldn't be a big problem. Our Deputy Director Geng and Section Chief Lin are here, as are district leaders. My aunt is following them, and you can tell at a glance that she's a high-ranking official. This bastard Shang Hongqi is finished," Jia Dongxu said happily.

The aunt was now confused. She did not talk to Jia Dongxu anymore, but found an excuse to leave the yard and went straight to the Red Star Steel Mill. She had to find Yi Zhonghai now.

"Why are you in such a hurry? What's the matter?" Yi Zhonghai came out of the factory gate.

The old lady briefly told Yi Zhonghai what she had heard from Jia Dongxu and asked him what to do.

"It's okay. He Daqing told me in the letter to keep it for the two children. Now take the letter and the money to the hospital to give it to Zhuzi and explain to him. As long as Zhuzi forgives us, nothing will happen to me." Yi Zhonghai was actually a little confused and a little regretful. Dongxu said that he should have given the money directly to Zhuzi on the day of his retirement, but there is no medicine for regret in the world.

Yi Zhonghai asked his wife to hurry up and he went back to the workshop. Within a few minutes, he was called out by the people from the street office and went directly to the street office.

Now time is life. Aunt Liu Cuiping ran directly, returned home, asked Jia Dongxu which hospital He Yuzhu was in, and ran all the way away. Jia Dongxu, who was behind, could not catch up with her.

"Zhu Zi, I heard that you and Yu Shui went to the post office. It seems that you all know about it. Here is the money, 480 yuan. Here is the letter. Your father asked Lao Yi to keep it for you. I originally planned to give it to you when you get married in the fall. I didn't expect you to know about this. I'll give it to you in advance." Liu Cuiping came to the ward and got straight to the point.

"What? Wasn't it Shang Hongqi who buttoned it?" He Yuzhu and his sister stopped pretending and just sat up.

"How dare Shang Hongqi? Take a look at the letter first," said an old lady.

The two of them looked at the letter sent by He Daqing. There were more letters to Yi Zhonghai and fewer to the two of them. The letter did seem to imply that Yi Zhonghai should take care of them.

"Isn't this a misunderstanding?" He Yuzhu said.

"Didn't I tell you a few days ago that your father sent money. He was just worried that you might not be able to accept it, so he gave you a heads up in advance," the aunt reminded He Yuzhu.

"Oh, drinking was the cause of the problem. I remember someone told me about this, but I forgot it was you. I asked someone to check and it was the Baoding Post Office. I thought it was that bastard Shang Hongqi who seized the money. It was a misunderstanding," said He Yuzhu with a look of regret on his face.

"It's okay. The neighborhood office will look for you later. Just tell the truth. Didn't Shang Hongqi beat you and the leaders saw you? Remember to ask him for more money. Don't get beaten in vain." The old lady solved the problem and also gave He Yuzhu some advice.

At this time, Jia Dongxu came in panting.

After Jia Dongxu came into the ward, he was speechless and breathing so heavily that he stuck out his tongue, bent over, and gasped for breath. He finally calmed down.

"Master's wife, you are running too fast. It's not good to run so fast at your age," Jia Dongxu said as he watched.

"Dongxu, you need to exercise more. You're out of breath after walking a few steps. You're so young, but you're worse than an old woman." The old lady didn't answer Jia Dongxu's question, but said a few words to him.

"No." Jia Dongxu wanted to say something but was interrupted by Liu Cuiping.

"It's nothing. Do you have money? I knew you didn't bring any. Don't forget to buy some food for Zhuzi and Yushui at noon. I'm going to the outpatient clinic to check it out. My heart is beating a little fast. I won't come back after the check-up." Liu Cuiping said as she took out a dollar and a pound of food coupons from her pocket and gave them to Jia Dongxu.

He looked back at He Yuzhu and his sister, then left the ward.

"Zhu Zi, Shang Hongqi beat you too badly. Let's ambush him one night with sticks and teach him a lesson," said Jia Dongxu.

He Yuzhu did not talk to Jia Dongxu, but lay down again and thought carefully about what the old lady had said to him that day, but Jia Dongxu kept nagging in his ear.

"Brother Dongxu, let me rest for a while. You saw how badly I was beaten. The doctor told me to be quiet because I might have internal bleeding." He Yuzhu couldn't stand it anymore and said to Jia Dongxu.

"Let me ask you one last question. Has Shang Hongqi ever practiced this? He can knock you seven or eight meters away in one blow. Can my seventh uncle beat him?" Jia Dongxu asked.

"What do you mean?" He Yuzhu didn't understand Jia Dongxu's train of thought.

"What do you mean? I'm going to work at the Red Star Post Office. My leader is so good at fighting. What if he hits me? If my seventh uncle can beat him, and Shang Hongqi beats me, I will go home and tell my seventh uncle and let him teach him a lesson. If I can't beat him, I will be honest and not provoke him." After Jia Dongxu finished speaking, he looked at He Yuzhu.

"Shang Hongqi may have to move to another place, don't be afraid that he will beat you," He Yuzhu said and closed his eyes. He didn't want to talk to a stupid person.

When Yi Zhonghai arrived at the street office, Shang Hongqi started scolding him as soon as he entered the door.

Yi Zhonghai was neither angry nor panicked. He explained the matter to the leaders and emphasized two points. First, He Daqing asked him to keep the money and take it out when the children needed it. Second, his wife had already informed He Yuzhu in advance that the person He Daqing sent the money to was Liu Cuiping, because she planned to give all the money and letters to He Yuzhu when they got married, so that he could be mentally prepared, because he was afraid that the two children of the He family would reject He Daqing.

Wang Xiuqin asked someone to go to the hospital to ask He Yuzhu, who confirmed Yi Zhonghai's statement.

District Chief Wang, Deputy Director Geng Bo, Director Wang Xiuqin, and Section Chief Lin Hua discussed the matter and came to a conclusion: Although Yi Zhonghai had obtained He Daqing's permission to keep the money, it was unreasonable, illegal, and unacceptable for him not to hand the letter over to the He brothers and sisters.

In view of Yi Zhonghai's care and concern for the He siblings over the years, no criminal punishment will be imposed on him; a fine of RMB 95 will be imposed on the He siblings to be used for their visits to their relatives; the position of manager of No. 95 will be removed; and he will be responsible for cleaning the public toilets on No. Street for six months, and no one else can be found to replace him.

Yi Zhonghai agreed with the leaders' punishment and said that he would clean the toilet with high standards and strict requirements, making it a business card of the entire Hongxing Street.

Chapter 107 Zhang Cuihua gets along well with her colleagues

Yi Zhonghai came out and wiped the sweat from his head. It was too dangerous. If Jia Dongxu had not expressed his intention to support him and his wife in their old age, and if he had not given up He Yuzhu, and prepared the letter and money in advance, and also made arrangements in advance, he might not have been able to get through this hurdle. Fortunately, Dongxu returned to the yard and told his wife about the He brothers and sisters going to ask for money, so that she could inform him in advance. With preparation, they had countermeasures and got through the difficult times. Dongxu, you are my lucky star. The master has paid the 600 yuan for buying a house for you.

Yi Zhonghai let out a long sigh and walked towards Courtyard 95.

When Shang Hongqi saw that Yi Zhonghai was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that if that bastard Yi Zhonghai was fine, then his own injury would definitely not be serious.

"Shang Hongqi, Yi Zhonghai has been collecting money and letters on behalf of others for many years. Is this legal?" Deputy Director Geng Bo began to ask.

"It's not allowed according to the system, but this kind of situation happens a lot in reality," Shang Hongqi explained.

"Shang Hongqi, can your real-life bad habits replace the regulations? Do you really want to be the director of the office? Not only can you not educate your employees, and cause riots, but you also beat up customers in front of the public. Who gave you the power?" Deputy Director Geng Bo asked Shang Hongqi in a louder and louder voice.

"Deputy Director Geng, the person who was beaten is still in the hospital. He Yuzhu just told the street and staff that he is afraid of Shang Hongqi and does not want to pursue his criminal responsibility, but at least he has to get medical treatment, right?" Wang Xiuqin spoke.

"I'll pay." Shang Hongqi saw that his leader had spoken, so he actually took action with a very correct attitude.

"I found out that He Yuzhu has internal bleeding and may not be able to do heavy work in the future. It is hard to say whether he can still work as a chef. Although Director Shang did not beat He Yushui, He Yushui did something extreme because his brother was beaten and his life or death is unknown. Director Shang should also bear part of the responsibility. Fortunately, He Yushui has woken up and will be able to go home after staying in the hospital for a few more days," said Wang Xiuqin.

"I accept the punishment." What else could Shang Hongqi say?

After several people discussed, Shang Hongqi paid 200 yuan for the He brothers and sisters' hospitalization and nutrition expenses; transferred them to work in the Elderly Affairs Office of Dongcheng Post Office, and tempered their temper and stopped hitting people; Lin Hua of Hongxing Post Office recommended Shi Chulai, deputy chief of the Personnel Section, to take the position. Hongxing Subdistrict Office explained the matter to the people in the area, so that they could understand the country's policies and the truth of the matter.

At this point, the problem of Red Star Post Office was successfully resolved.

After receiving the compensation, He Yuzhu and his sister were immediately discharged from the hospital and returned to No. 95 Yard. They were very happy; Jia Dongxu received 600 yuan of housing purchase money sponsored by his master Yi Zhonghai, and the whole family was very happy; the Yi Zhonghai couple escaped a disaster, so they were needless to say happy; Liu Haizhong was also happy and had a drink in the evening, because the eldest uncle in No. 95 Yard was removed and the second uncle became the biggest leader; the Yan family was also happy, because Yang Ruihua went to Zhao Chunyan to reconcile and specially gave a matchmaker gift of fifty cents. Zhao Chunyan said that she would find a more normal one for Jie Cheng.

Zhang Dabiao was happy. He had carefully organized for such a long time. If Yi Zhonghai didn't die, he would have lost a layer of skin. Now his skin and fur were not damaged at all. He only rubbed off some mud. He was ready to watch the show, but he didn't even take off his clothes. It's all Jia Dongxu's fault. What are you talking about retirement? Why did you come back after going to work?

When He Yuzhu returned to No. 95 Courtyard, he gave them two hundred yuan, saying that it was for Zhao Chunyan and the others, and that Zhang Dabao could not be asked to work or spend money anymore. He also invited Zhang Dabao to have dinner at the He family in the evening, and Zhang Dabao agreed.

That afternoon, the 150 kilograms of rice promised to Zhao Chunyan were delivered to Zhao's home, along with 10 kilograms of pork belly. Zhang Dabao also presented two bottles of Erguotou, expressing his willingness for long-term cooperation in the future, and reached a consensus with Zhao Chunyan.

After Zhang Dabao had a constructive discussion with Zhao Chunyan, he returned to Yard 95 and met his two sisters, Banggeng and Jia Jingshu, who were returning from get off work at the gate.

"Seventh uncle, my grandma had a fight with someone else," Banggeng saw Zhang Dabao running over.

After hearing this, Zhang Dabao took a closer look at Zhang Cuihua. Apart from her messy hair and a small nail mark on her face, she looked very energetic.

"It seems that there is no loss," Zhang Dabao said after looking for a while.

"How can I suffer a loss? Even though there are two of them, I am not afraid of two more," Zhang Cuihua said proudly.

"Aren't we going to work? We go there to earn money and be workers. Why do we have to fight with others?" Zhang Dabao was a little speechless.

"Didn't you say that after work, you should get along well with your colleagues?" Zhang Cuihua raised her head and asked her brother.

Damn, this actually happened to me. Zhang Dabao was speechless for a moment, "Sister, is this what I mean? I must beat this bastard Jia Dongxu."

"Dabia, what does it have to do with Dongxu? He is not at the steel rolling mill. He went to the post office." Zhang Cuihua held her brother and told Zhang Dabia what happened today as they walked.

After Zhang Cuihua reported to work, Section Chief Hu took her to the union office. There were three offices in total, two large ones and one small one. The small office was where the union vice chairman Tian Qiming worked alone.

Zhang Cuihua chose an office with more women. After entering, everyone was chatting. Since Zhang Cuihua had just joined and was not familiar with the situation, she did not interrupt and just sat aside and listened.

A woman in her forties saw Zhang Cuihua, who was fat and short, sitting there listening to everyone talking and smiling from time to time, and said, "That fat guy, I'm talking about you."

Zhang Cuihua pointed at herself.
