Chapter 451: Annual Crackdown
Sure enough, in 1983, the state issued a policy requiring severe crackdowns on criminal offenders.
This year was also a year of uncertainty. Lin Yuzhu could see news about the crackdowns in various places in newspapers and on television from time to time.
The "Cleaver Gang" and the "Black Tiger Gang" were almost completely wiped out, and no one escaped, whether they were the sons of high-ranking officials or had someone behind the scenes.
As long as it is a crime, the most severe sentence will be given!
For a time, public security and procuratorate offices in various places became busy.
There are finally fewer thugs on the streets.
However, the storm brought about by the crackdown was far more than this. According to newspaper reports, tens of thousands of people were sentenced to death across the country in the first month.
Even local governments have issued task targets, requiring a certain number of people to be captured before the task can be completed.
As soon as this data came out, those who were hoping for luck were scared. Those who had done wrong things before became obedient and hid at home, not daring to come out!
At this moment, Lin Yuzhu heard a piece of news that also surprised her.
She never thought that the crackdown would actually hit the Zhao family!
…
The thing is, after his divorce last year, Zhao Laosi married a rural girl under the arrangement of his mother.
It goes without saying that the money came from Zhao Lao Da and Zhao Lao Er.
Although the two were reluctant, they finally compromised for the house.
Fortunately, the daughter-in-law was from the countryside and didn't spend much money.
However, after marrying this country daughter-in-law, there was one more person in the family, and the pressure on the Zhao family became even greater. But Zhao Laosi had already seen that his two brothers cared about the house and did not dare to divide the family easily.
So naturally, I did nothing and just stayed at home and relied on my two brothers for support.
After getting married, he brought his wife with him and they did nothing at home all day. He only asked his wife to help Zhao's mother when it was time to cook.
Seeing this situation, how could the eldest and second families be willing?
But it was no use talking to him several times. On two occasions, they even found jobs for him. After all, there are many private enterprises now and jobs are not as hard to find as before. As long as you are willing to work hard and are not afraid of hardship, you can make money in any way.
But Zhao Laosi just refused to go. Who would be willing to go out and work so hard to earn money when he could just stay at home and enjoy himself and be supported by others?
Zhao Laosi's behavior made his two brothers very angry.
As a result, not long after, his wife became pregnant. Zhao's mother was so happy that she prepared delicious food for her daughter-in-law every day for the grandson in her belly.
This increased the family expenses. The old couple could not provide any financial support, so they could only ask their two sons for money. If they were unwilling to give, they would make a fuss. Sometimes the old couple would go to their workplace to make them compromise.
Seeing that their parents were willing to go to such lengths for the fourth child's family, the eldest and second Zhao finally understood.
The one they are most partial to is always the fourth brother. Even if the two brothers compromise for the house now, it is just an excuse for the old couple to let them help take care of the fourth brother's family in their old age.
When the old couple really pass away, it will be hard to tell who will inherit the house.
So the two brothers discussed it and finally made up their minds to split up.
Moreover, their attitude this time was very firm. No matter how Zhao's father and mother threatened them, it was useless. They would rather leave the house than support the fourth brother's family anymore.
When Mr. and Mrs. Zhao saw that they couldn't even control the house, they had to take another approach and humbled themselves and begged their two sons to stay.
But whenever the two brothers mentioned the house, the old couple had nothing to say.
How could they not see it?
So no matter what, I remain unmoved.
