Siheyuan: I have a multi-dimensional chat group!

Xiao Shan, somewhat curious, pulled his attention away from the chat group, then came out of the house and into the courtyard.

They saw Jia Zhangshi rolling on the ground, and the two cadres and several older women were barely able to hold her down.

Clearly, Jia Zhangshi's addiction to painkillers had finally kicked in, and she couldn't control her body, which is why she was in this state.

"Xiaoshan, come help!" Seeing Xiaoshan coming out from the backyard, the second aunt, who was helping to suppress Jia Zhangshi, hurriedly said.

Xiao Shan nodded and said, "I'll go get that rope!"

After saying that, Xiao Shan went back into the house and brought out a hemp rope, which helped to tie up Jia Zhangshi.

Then Xiao Shan sent an older woman to the Jia family to get a quilt so that Jia Zhangshi, who was tied up, could lie on it and avoid getting hurt while rolling on the ground.

Moreover, the weather is so cold now, it wouldn't be a good thing if Jia Zhangshi got sick because of it.

Soon, an older woman came out of the Jia family's house carrying a quilt.

They placed the quilt on the ground and pushed the still struggling Jia Zhangshi onto the quilt.

"Aunt Jia, judging from your current state, it seems you really haven't given up painkillers!" Xiao Shan said slowly, looking at Jia Zhangshi who was rolling around and howling on the quilt.

At this moment, Jia Zhangshi did not respond to Xiao Shan at all; she just kept making a fuss and howling.

"Hey, look, what's this?" Just then, the third aunt pointed to a white plastic bottle on the ground.

Mao picked up the bottle, opened it, and found that it contained painkillers.

"It looks like this fell off Aunt Jia when she was making a fuss!" Officer Mao said, twisting the bottle shut with a somewhat grim expression.

Officer Xiong, somewhat exasperated, said to the still-struggling Jia Zhangshi, "Aunt Jia, is this what you meant by quitting painkillers? No wonder we couldn't find any painkillers in the house before; you were hiding them on your person!"

“Aunt Jia, this is blatant deception! You have serious problems with your thinking! You not only need to quit taking painkillers, but you also need to receive ideological education.”

After saying that, Officer Xiong and Officer Mao exchanged a few words, and then he left the courtyard to go to the street office to find Director Wang.

Seeing this, the other women present also criticized Jia Zhangshi, saying that she was tarnishing the reputation of No. 95 Compound!

Soon, Director Wang, along with several strong and healthy women, followed Officer Xiong to the courtyard.

When she saw Jia Zhangshi rolling around on the quilt, her face turned black!

After giving Jia Zhangshi a stern lecture, Director Wang had the women he brought take her to the street office for compulsory detoxification!

Jia Zhangshi absolutely refused to go, and her wailing frightened Huaihua and Xiaodang, who were inside the house, to tears.

Looking at Huaihua and Xiaodang, who ran out of the house and clung to Jia Zhangshi's legs, crying loudly, Director Wang also had a headache.

At this moment, Xiao Shan spoke up to Director Wang, saying, "Director Wang, I think we should wait for Sister-in-law Jia to come back, explain things to her, and then take Aunt Jia to the neighborhood office!"

"Otherwise, we can't just take Huaihua and Xiaodang to the neighborhood office together!"

After a moment's thought, Director Wang nodded: "Xiaoshan, what you said makes sense!"

So Director Wang told Officer Xiong to take the women back first, and then come back to the yard to take Jia Zhangshi away when the steel mill closed for the day.

After Officer Xiong and his group left, Director Wang instructed Officer Mao to give Jia Zhangshi a pep talk, while she watched from the sidelines.

Attending ideological lectures is naturally boring, so the middle-aged women present all went home.

Xiao Shan returned to his home and began his cultivation.

Judging that Qin Huairu and the others had probably returned by now, Xiao Shan went to the central courtyard to watch the excitement.

Qin Huairu knew that Jia Zhangshi had not given up painkillers, so she was not too surprised to see Jia Zhangshi in this state when she returned.

Of course, on the surface, Qin Huairu still showed a shocked and incredulous expression.

Other people returning home from get off work were genuinely surprised to see Jia Zhangshi in this state.

Then everyone secretly sized up Yi Zhonghai.

After all, Jia Zhangshi was once locked up in Yi Zhonghai's courtyard, and it was Yi Zhonghai who said that Jia Zhangshi had given up painkillers.

The fact that Jia Zhangshi looks like this proves that Yi Zhonghai was lying before!

If looks could kill, Yi Zhonghai's gaze at this moment would be enough to kill Jia Zhangshi a hundred times over!

When Director Wang saw that Qin Huairu and the three old men had returned, he told them directly that Jia Zhangshi must go to the street office to quit drugs this time!

Although Qin Huairu was happy inside, she still pretended to be reluctant to part with him.

At the same time, he looked at the three old men, hoping they could put in a good word for him.

The three old men had no choice but to plead with Director Wang, hoping that he could still allow Jia Zhangshi to quit in the courtyard.

This time they'll definitely keep a close eye on things and not let Jia Zhangshi get away with it.

Unfortunately, this time Director Wang was determined: "Old Yi, Old Liu, Old Yan, it's not that I don't want to give you face, but you disappointed me too much last time! So this time, Jia Zhangshi must go to the street office to quit drugs!"

After a slight pause, Director Wang looked at Yi Zhonghai, whose face was somewhat pale, and said, "Old Yi, you're not young anymore, and you're a key member of the steel rolling mill. It's a bit too much for you to keep playing the role of an old man! How about this, you take a break for a while, and when you've recovered, you can continue playing the role of an old man!"

After hearing what Director Wang said, the old man was completely dumbfounded.

This is going to strip him of his position as an elder!

The deaf old lady had advised him before to step down from his position as an old man, saying that it was not an easy job.

I didn't take it seriously at first, but now I realize that the deaf old lady was quite farsighted.

Taking the initiative to step down is called creating opportunities for young people and not competing for fame and fortune.

Now that Director Wang has dismissed him, it means there's a problem with his ability or character!

The thought of his reputation being ruined made Yi Zhonghai feel disheartened: "Director Wang, I'll listen to you. I won't interfere in anything in the courtyard anymore!"

Director Wang frowned and said, "Old Yi, I'm not telling you to ignore things in the courtyard, but rather to get some rest. Come back to serve everyone when you're well-rested, understand?"

"You must have a spirit of selfless dedication! Helping neighbors out with small favors occasionally, or mediating arguments, these are things that you older folks should do!"

After being reprimanded by Director Wang, Yi Zhonghai was somewhat embarrassed: "I understand, Director Wang!"

When Liu Haizhong saw that Yi Zhonghai had been relieved of his position as the head of the household, he looked at Director Wang with shining eyes and said, "Director Wang, Old Yi is taking a break, but this courtyard can't be without someone to hold the fort! We have to choose a head of the household!"

In Liu Haizhong's view, he is now the second oldest, since Yi Zhonghai is taking a break, and the position of the oldest is rightfully his.

Director Wang glanced at Liu Haizhong; how could he not know what Liu was thinking?

However, Director Wang also knew that apart from Yi Zhonghai, who was relatively reliable, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui were not the kind of people who could take on major responsibilities.

After a moment of contemplation, Director Wang, under Liu Haizhong's expectant gaze, slowly said, "Old Liu, what you said makes sense! Here's what we'll do: for now, Old Yi will rest at home. If anything happens in the yard, Old Liu, you should discuss it with Old Yan. If you can't resolve it, come find me!"

"If it works well, Lao Liu, you can take over Lao Yi's job!"

Although Director Wang did not directly hand over the position of the old man to him, Liu Haizhong was somewhat disappointed.

But with Director Wang's words, as long as I perform well, this old man's position is mine!

So Liu Haizhong said with great enthusiasm, "Director Wang, you can rest assured about my work!"

Seeing Liu Haizhong looking smug, someone in the crowd shouted, "Second Uncle, since First Uncle is resting now, and you're in charge, why don't you hurry up and get Aunt Jia to the street!"

Upon hearing this, others immediately echoed his sentiments.

"Yes, Jia Zhangshi actually dared to deceive everyone, she's utterly disgraced our compound! We should send her to the neighborhood office to get her off painkillers as soon as possible!"

"That's right, I'd feel embarrassed if people from other courtyards knew about this!"

"It's just that Jia Zhangshi is lucky to have such a good daughter-in-law as Qin Huairu. If it were a more capable daughter-in-law, she would have remarried long ago with her children!"

……

Listening to the chaotic chatter of the onlookers, Liu Haizhong, beaming, said, "Don't worry, everyone, I will definitely handle the matter of Jia Zhangshi properly!"

After saying that, Liu Haizhong prepared to call someone to take Jia Zhangshi to the street office.

At this moment, Director Wang spoke up: "Old Liu, wait a minute, I still have some things to ask Jia Zhangshi!"

"Director Wang, please ask, please ask!" Liu Haizhong said hurriedly.

Director Wang approached Jia Zhangshi and said, "Jia Zhangshi, there's something I need to clarify! When you were undergoing withdrawal in the yard last time, someone must have bought you painkillers, which is why you were able to fool Lao Yi and the others, right?"

"Now you tell me honestly, who bought you painkillers!"

Qin Huairu's heart jumped instantly.

Others may not understand, but doesn't she?

This was clearly done by her precious son, Bang Geng!

Chapter 247, Jia Zhangshi is taken to the neighborhood committee office! (Please subscribe!)

Seeing that Jia Zhangshi remained silent, Qin Huairu whispered, "Mom, just cooperate. You'll come back once you've weaned off the painkillers! I'll bring you delicious food every day, and plenty of blankets, so you won't get cold!"

Qin Huairu's words were also a reminder to Jia Zhangshi to cooperate properly and not to bring up the matter of the stick.

Madam Jia was completely confused and couldn't understand what Qin Huairu meant: "Qin Huairu, are you trying to kick me out? Let me tell you, no way! I'm telling you..."

Director Wang interrupted Jia Zhangshi directly: "Jia Zhangshi, you should first tell us where you got the painkillers! You were locked in the small room and had no chance to go out. Someone must have bought them for you."

“People who openly oppose the street absolutely need profound ideological reform.”

Hearing Director Wang's serious tone, Jia Zhangshi couldn't help but shudder.

Banggeng was his precious darling, and there was no way he would let Banggeng go to the neighborhood office to receive any ideological education.

So Jia Zhangshi took all the blame: "Director Wang, no one bought me painkillers. I hid them on my person beforehand! They didn't notice when they tied me up, and I secretly took them at night when no one was around."

Yi Zhonghai didn't believe a single punctuation mark in Jia Zhangshi's words.

Jia Zhangshi's hut was right next to his, and he knew exactly what she did every day!

Just then, Yi Zhonghai suddenly remembered his godson, Bang!

After Jia Zhangshi was released, Bang Geng went to see her.

It's possible that Bang Geng was tricked by Jia Zhangshi into buying her painkillers.

However, Yi Zhonghai remained silent.

Bang Geng couldn't bear to see his grandma sad, and that's not wrong!

What's wrong with being filial to your elders?

At this point, a bystander spoke up: "Jia Zhangshi, you're talking nonsense! Our house is next to Uncle Yi's. You were causing trouble every day until the day before you were released. It's obvious that someone brought you painkillers!"

Madam Jia's expression changed, and she was about to scold the man when she heard a bystander say, "I remember seeing Bang Geng come out of the hut back then; Bang Geng must have gone to buy you painkillers!"

Qin Huairu's expression changed instantly; she hadn't expected that Bang Geng would be involved in the end.

Qin Huairu quickly retorted, "Impossible! I've repeatedly told Banggeng not to give his grandma painkillers! Banggeng is an obedient child; he wouldn't secretly buy painkillers for his grandma."

Seeing this situation, Jia Zhangshi naturally couldn't possibly involve her grandson.

So he looked at Director Wang and said, "Director Wang, it really has nothing to do with the painkiller! I did try to quit taking painkillers at first, but I couldn't hold on for more than a few days. I've been keeping the painkillers on me all along."

Director Wang, who had been managing the neighborhood for many years, saw through Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu's little schemes at a glance.

It's just that Bang Geng is only a little kid, and he's probably been fooled by Jia Zhangshi. Director Wang doesn't plan to do anything to him.

So Director Wang looked at Qin Huairu and said, "Qin Huairu, call Banggeng out and ask him! If it really is this child, Qin Huairu, you need to teach him a lesson so he won't make this kind of mistake again!"

Because Qin Huairu didn't know what Director Wang was thinking, she naturally didn't want to call out "Bang Geng".

For the sake of her grandson, Jia Zhangshi had no choice but to honestly admit: "Director Wang, there's no need to call me anymore. I tricked Bang Geng into buying me painkillers. I'm willing to cooperate with you and go to the street office to participate in labor and confinement."

Hearing Jia Zhangshi say this, Director Wang nodded in satisfaction: "Jia Zhangshi, I'm glad you understand us! Don't worry, I won't do anything to Bang Geng, I just need to find out what really happened, after all, this matter needs to be resolved!"

Hearing Director Wang say this, Qin Huairu breathed a sigh of relief: "Director Wang, I'll go and call Banggeng right away!"

Soon, Qin Huairu brought the stick out of the house.

Qin Huairu said to Banggeng, "Banggeng, just answer whatever Director Wang asks you, understand?"

Banggeng nodded: "I know, Mom!"

Director Wang looked at Banggeng and asked, "Banggeng, did you buy your grandmother's painkillers?"

"I bought it. That day I went to visit Grandma at the cottage, and she said her legs were hurting so badly that I bought her a bottle of painkillers," Banggeng said honestly. "Grandma promised me that she would only take one when it hurt really badly, and definitely no more!"

Hearing Banggeng's words, Yi Zhonghai nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Director Wang and said, "Director Wang, Banggeng is a filial child. Do you think it's enough to let Huairu educate him? Don't go to the street office for any more ideological education!"

“It’s good that the child is filial, but Qin Huairu, you have to tell Banggeng that some things may seem like filial piety, but actually, not doing them is true filial piety!” Director Wang said to Qin Huairu with a serious expression. “Of course, Banggeng is still young, so there’s no need to send him to the street office for ideological education! Lao Yi, you’ll supervise Qin Huairu to make sure she educates Banggeng properly.”
