Siheyuan: Security Office of Wude

"Director Wang! It's absolutely true! This old man cries poor every day in the courtyard, saying that his monthly salary is less than 30 yuan and he can't support our family of six. The whole courtyard knows about this! He wants me to give at least 10 yuan of my monthly salary to my family, saying it's for my accommodation and food."

"Director Wang, tell me, is there any son in this world who lives at home and has to pay for the family's meals?"

"But when I think about the difficulties at home, I accept it. After all, I am the eldest brother."

"But I just found out that it was all a lie! This old guy has been lying all along. His salary is close to 40 yuan, which is definitely enough to support a family of six, but he still cheated me of my hard-earned salary!"

"I gave him 10 yuan a month, but he had to live in a room with Jie Kuang and Jie Fang. The only food he had was steamed cornbread, not even steamed buns made of 20 grams of flour. Pickles were given by the root, and peanuts were given by the grain!"

"Director Wang, this is ten yuan. How can a person in the city live so miserably on ten yuan a month?!"

Yan Jiecheng complained to Director Wang in a tearful voice. He was a little clever. He did not mention that he had quarreled with Yan Bugui many times over the amount of money he had to hand in. He portrayed himself as a victim who cared about his family but was deceived.

Anyway, they have already torn their relationship apart, so Yan Jiecheng doesn't need to worry about Yan Bugui's face.

Once Yan Bugui's deception was exposed, many people in the entire compound wanted to settle accounts with him. As long as he successfully divided the family property, what would Yan Bugui's debt have to do with him?

Director Wang looked at Yan Bugui seriously and said, "Teacher Yan, I remember that you were promoted to a higher level of teaching staff two years ago. You should have a salary of nearly 40 yuan a month. How dare you lie to your own son and the residents in the hospital?"

Director Wang is in a bad mood now. First of all, their street office appointed a liar who is full of lies as the head of the office. Although the matter is not particularly serious, it is also embarrassing for the street office.

Secondly, taking care of poor households is also the key task of the sub-district office. You, Yan Bugui, complain about poverty every day, as if the sub-district office has not done its poverty alleviation work well. This is still a slap in the face of the sub-district office.

How could Director Wang be happy?

Yan Bugui's face was pale, and he was trembling all over and couldn't speak. The street office could see the files of all the residents. His lies could fool the people in the courtyard, but they were useless in front of Director Wang.

Silence is equivalent to consent, and now the whole yard is blown up

"Fuck! Uncle Three actually lied!?"

"What's the point of calling him Third Uncle? He's just a stingy old man named Yan! Damn, last time I saw the weather was good, so I took out the pickles from my home to dry them, but this old guy kept nagging me for almost an hour about how difficult his family was, and then he just took a handful of pickles and left."

"It's the same in my family. During Chinese New Year, when we made pork and green onion dumplings, we would ask for the white part of the green onion."

"And my family's cornmeal was also taken away by this old man Yan..."

The people in the courtyard were just holding a non-interference mentality, watching the jokes of the Yan family, and even laughing at Yan Bugui in their hearts for being a teacher, but in the end he taught his own son to separate from them. As a result, they found out that Yan Bugui had deceived them for so many years and cheated them out of many benefits.

This time the knife hit himself, and everyone was furious

After some people angrily pointed out the benefits Yan Bugui had taken from their families, they became increasingly agitated and shouted for their money to be returned.

Someone led the angry mood, and soon the whole yard was shouting, and the voices of "return the money" were getting louder and louder... It would be perfect if RNM was added in front of it.

"What are you making so much noise for! Be quiet!"

When Director Wang was worried that the crowd would get angry and cause trouble, Bai Wanli's roar instantly drowned out all the sounds in the hospital.

"Director Wang is here! He will give you an explanation. If any of you dare to cause trouble, just get out of here and be locked up in the security department!"

Although Bai Wanli had not lived here for long, he had destroyed the Yi Zhonghai system, which had seemed indestructible to the residents in the past. The residents were all in awe of him, but now that they saw Bai Wanli getting angry, they all quieted down.

Chapter 72: Follow Director Bai and there will be meat to eat!

Director Wang was relieved to see Bai Wanli had the situation under control. After all, there were hundreds of residents in the courtyard. If a commotion really broke out, she and two clerks would not be able to control the situation.

After relaxing, Director Wang looked at Yan Bugui, who looked pale, and became even more annoyed.

"The street office appointed you as the manager to handle the problems in the yard, but you ended up causing me so many problems!"

"Yan Bugui, since you deceived the masses and have improper thoughts, I am now revoking your status as the manager on behalf of the subdistrict office. You must write a 1,000-word self-criticism to me within three days, and then go to the subdistrict office every day to receive ideological education for a total of three months."

Ideological education these days is very scary.

It's not like I just give you a small room and a thought manual to let you read and kill time.

The so-called ideological education is simply to scold people and let the clerks of the street office point out your ideological problems. The words used are very harsh, and there are usually other clerks watching.

Unless you are a completely shameless person, after a round of ideological education, you will basically be socially dead in a small circle.

Yan Bugui's hands and feet were cold, his body was shaking, and his eyes were sore, but he didn't even have the courage to sit on the ground and cry. He trembled and said, "I... I know."

The street offices of this era are in charge of people's food, clothing, housing, transportation, birth, aging, illness and death. For ordinary people, this is already "powerful", so no one dares to offend the street office.

Seeing that Yan Bugui was punished, Yan Jiecheng was very proud and took the opportunity to say, "Director Wang, I want to separate the family! I want to completely draw a line between myself and this old man with incorrect ideas! And I want him to return all the money he cheated from me before!"

Speaking of money, Yan Bugui, who was about to faint, finally regained some strength. He pointed at Yan Jiecheng and said angrily, "You beast! You have caused such a big disaster for our family, and you still have the nerve to ask me for money?!"

Yan Jiecheng glanced at Bai Wanli with a guilty conscience, and seeing that he didn't pay any attention to him at all, but turned to talk to Zhu Qing'an, he felt more at ease, and said with his neck stiff, "Why should I be afraid? You cheated me of my money, and you are wrong no matter how you look at it! It is only natural that I want you to pay you back, and it has nothing to do with other things!"

Director Wang noticed their conversation and guessed that there must be something else going on between the father and son. However, she was from the street office, not the police station, and was not responsible for investigating the case. Today's events were enough to make her angry, and Director Wang did not want to dig deeper, lest she find out something that would make her heart ache. She just wanted to end the matter quickly, so she said to Yan Bugui:

"Yan Bugui, no matter what the reason is, it is wrong for you to cheat Yan Jiecheng of his money. Return the money to him immediately, and then I will witness the division of the property for you. Don't bring this matter to the police again."

Director Wang's words implied a reminder and warning. Yan Bugui wanted to defend himself in order to protect his money, but someone in the yard could no longer hold back.

"Director Wang! Yan Bugui not only has to compensate Yan Jiecheng for his debts, but he also has to compensate us!"

"Yes, Yan Bugui took advantage of our family a lot. Those vegetables and cornmeal were all taken away by him. He must return them to us!"

“You must pay it back!”

Seeing the attitude of the people in the hospital, Director Wang was also a little confused.

After all, the money that Yan Bugui cheated from Yan Jiecheng was at least a rough figure, and the difference wouldn't be too big after discussion between the two sides, so the problem could be solved. But the things that Yan Bugui took away from the residents of this yard were just a clove of garlic, two scallions, or a handful of corn flour, and it took a long time, so how could it be counted?

I don't know if it's too much or too little if I just randomly set a number.

Director Wang has been the director of the street office for more than ten years and has never encountered such a troublesome situation. She tried to ask Bai Wanli for help.

"Director Bai, do you have any comments?"

Bai Wanli smiled and said:

"It is true that Yan Bugui has been pretending to be poor and deceiving the residents in the courtyard for many years, taking advantage of them and making profits. He should make compensation, but these things are too many and too fragmented, and the amount of compensation is difficult to determine. I think it is better to do this. The Yan family will pay 100 yuan to set up a few tables in the courtyard and let all the residents eat together. How much each person eats is up to his or her ability. After the banquet is over, this matter will end here, and no one can mention it again in the future. How do you think?"

Everyone's eyes lit up, it was great to have a feast, they just liked this

There are more than 10 residents in this courtyard, so we can probably have tables. On average, each table costs yuan. This price is enough to have a good meal in this era. At least you can eat meat.

And this meal is a compensation for them, which means they don’t even have to pay for the meal, and the whole family can go and eat.

They love this so much!

"Director Bai, what a great idea!"

"We all listen to Director Bai!"

"Yes, listen to Director Bai!"

Director Wang also thought this was a good idea: "Okay, it's decided. Liu Haizhong, I'll have the Yan family give you the money later. You will be responsible for paying the compensation to the residents this time. You must do a good job."

Liu Haizhong immediately patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, Director Wang, I will definitely do a great job!"

In Liu Haizhong's opinion, Yan Bugui, the third uncle, had been dismissed, and Yi Zhonghai was still in the security department. As long as he could do the things Director Wang asked him to do well, he would definitely be valued by Director Wang. Maybe Director Wang would promote him to the position of the first uncle if he was happy.

There may even be no second uncle or third uncle in the future. Liu Haizhong will be the only uncle in charge of this yard. How can Liu Haizhong not be excited?

Liu Haizhong was very happy because he had seen the position of the old man waving at him.

The residents were also very happy because they had something to eat again.

Director Wang was also a little happy. After all, these troubles were finally dealt with.

As for Yan Bugui, he was very unhappy, but no one cared.

After all, he was the one who made the mistake, and the punishment was notified to him, not discussed with him.

Now everyone in the yard except their family has agreed. Even if Yan Bugui is greedy for money, he dare not offend the anger of more than a hundred people.

Bai Wanli smiled

"It's good that the matter has been resolved. As for this banquet, Qing An and I will not eat it. After all, Yan Bugui didn't cheat anything from us. It's not appropriate for us to eat this compensation banquet. Let's all enjoy our meal."

The residents were even happier when they heard this. After all, the cost of hosting the banquet was only 100 yuan, and the fewer people ate, the more dishes each of them could get.

And if Bai Wanli really came, they would be nervous too, after all, you have to fight for the table! But if Director Bai wanted to pick up a piece of meat, who would dare to grab it from under his chopsticks?

Bai Wanli didn't come on his own initiative, but it satisfied many people's wishes

After this incident, Bai Wanli's status in everyone's heart has risen rapidly.

Follow Director Bai and you will have meat to eat!

Chapter 73 The Idiot with No Self-awareness

Bai Wanli and Zhu Qingan returned to the cross-courtyard. The dough in the basin had already fermented. Zhu Qingan kneaded the dough into buns and steamed them.

While waiting for the steamed buns to be cooked in the house, Zhu Qingan couldn't help but say:

"I have never seen such a weird person. He is calculating and deceiving people, not to mention that he even asks his own son to pay for food and sleep. What is he thinking?"

Bai Wanli complained:

"You've already said that guy is weird, so how can normal people like us understand weird thinking?"

"In fact, most people have a hard time these days, so it's okay to spend money prudently, but Yan Bugui is too calculating. He has to spend money on the children's food and accommodation. To his children, he is not their biological father. Isn't he just a guesthouse manager or a restaurant owner?"

"No one would support a restaurant owner in his old age just because he paid for a meal. Yan Bugui is too calculating and has ruined the family's affection."

"If he doesn't change this bad habit, he will have a bad ending in this life."

Bai Wanli was talking about Yan Bugui's later fate. He schemed all his life, and ended up alienating all his children. Yan Bugui was counting on them for his retirement, but they all wanted to settle accounts with him for money.

If Sha Zhu hadn't opened a nursing home, Yan Bugui might have ended up living on the streets.

But this is also the result of Yan Bugui's own efforts.

You reap what you sow. You reap what you sow. All good and bad things are your own fault.

"In this courtyard, Yan Bugui is not the most bizarre one. It is difficult to describe him in detail in a few words. You will slowly understand after you move in."

"Just remember what I said, don't even think about opening your heart to anyone in this courtyard. They are not worth it, and none of them can be trusted."

"Even if they say one day that I was ambushed and shot to death by enemy agents, don't believe them... Ugh!"

Before Bai Wanli could finish his words, Zhu Qingan slapped him on the mouth.

Zhu Qingan frowned: "Don't say such things, it's unlucky, I don't like it"
