At noon, He Daqing used all his skills to prepare a table of delicious food, which made the factory leaders look very happy.
The classification was completed smoothly, and I was classified as a level 5 cook with a basic salary of 55 yuan per month.
The factory leaders then asked him to serve as the deputy director of the canteen. Since he was working as a worker and not on the administrative staff, he received the salary of a cook.
So the factory calculated his position allowance as 12 yuan per month, which together with the basic salary was 67 yuan per month.
After we had agreed on the salary, time passed quickly and it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon.
After bidding farewell to Deputy Director Nie, He Daqing walked slowly towards the courtyard.
After walking for nearly half an hour, I finally saw the famous courtyard gate.
The door god Yan Laoxi was not guarding the door today, and a quarrel was heard in the yard.
"Um, stealing chickens?"
He Daqing listened for a while and realized what had happened.
It would be better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. When he came back, he encountered the first scene of the plot: the incident of Banggeng stealing the chicken!
"What a coincidence, isn't it?"
With a grin, He Daqing opened the chat group with an idea.
He Daqing: "Brothers, today I went to the steel mill to look for an old leader. I got a job as the deputy director of the canteen at the steel mill, with a monthly salary of 67 yuan."
He Daqing: "When I came out of the factory and returned to the courtyard, I heard the sound of the Intermediate Court convening a general meeting. It was the first plot that started the story: the Banggeng chicken stealing incident!"
He Daqing: "I will start a live broadcast right now to show you the real Siheyuan, haha!"
Opening the public dialog box, he spoke rapidly, giving a brief account of what had happened today.
Then, he found the live broadcast function, clicked on the option, and started the group live broadcast.
[Ding! Group member 'He Daqing' has started a group live broadcast. Click here to enter the live broadcast room! ]
The next moment, a group notification popped up in front of all group members.
Seeing the prompt, Su Qing clicked the link to enter the live broadcast room.
The chat group screen changed, and the courtyard world appeared before their eyes.
It is in the style of the 1960s, with yellow soil everywhere on the road and the buildings everywhere looking very old.
He Daqing stood in the middle of the camera. In front of him was a courtyard house and in front of him was a screen wall, blocking the entire view of the courtyard.
There used to be many auspicious designs on the screen wall, but now they are covered by graffiti by naughty children, and the original colors can no longer be seen.
“Is this the Siheyuan?”
"Hurry up and go in and see the legendary whole-hospital meeting!"
"One of the famous scenes in Siheyuan: Banggeng steals the chicken!"
“666!”
The group members were all looking at the live broadcast room curiously, sending out comments.
"Hello everyone, I am He Daqing, and I will be broadcasting live for you: Banggen Stealing Chicken!"
He Daqing waved at the live camera and spoke to the group members with a smile.
"Hurry up and go in, don't waste time!"
Xie Lin urged.
"good."
He Daqing responded and was about to step into the courtyard when he suddenly heard the sound of a bicycle chain behind him.
Turning around, he saw a tall and thin girl with two braids riding a bicycle. He recognized her at first glance. It was his daughter He Yushui.
As his gaze moved, the camera in the live broadcast room also moved, and He Yushui's figure appeared in the live broadcast room.
"Is this He Yushui? He's really skinny, with not a pound of flesh on his body. He looks like skin and bones. A gust of wind could blow him down."
"She's pretty, it would be nice if she was a little fatter."
"Just because He Yushui has become so skinny, Shazhu deserves to be beaten!"
When they saw He Yushui appear, the group members started talking about it.
"Yes, this is my cheap daughter He Yushui."
After He Daqing said something in the live broadcast room, he hurriedly went up to He Yushui and said, "Girl, don't talk first, listen to me."
He Yushui was stunned, looking at his familiar face, tears instantly flowed down her face.
"My daughter, you have suffered a lot these years. Dad will not leave when he comes back today."
He Daqing hugged his daughter in his arms and said to her, "Dad just listened at the door for a long time. Your brother stole half a chicken from the cafeteria, and Xu Damao's family lost a chicken. Yi Zhonghai is going to frame your brother for stealing the chicken."
"Don't go in yet. Go get the people from the street office and the police station. I want to deal with these beasts in the yard!"
After saying this, he wiped away his daughter's tears with heartache.
"good."
He Yushui hugged him tightly and nodded vigorously.
"Go ahead."
Holding his thin daughter in his arms, He Daqing felt very upset and patted her shoulder.
He Yushui nodded and rode away on his bicycle. He Daqing turned and entered the courtyard.
"Okay, okay, just consider it as something I stole, okay."
As soon as he stepped into the central courtyard, He Daqing heard Sha Zhu's voice and his face immediately turned dark.
"Haha, here comes the famous scene!"
"Silly Zhu is really a scumbag!"
"I strongly support Lao He in giving him a good beating!"
After hearing the voice coming from the live broadcast room and looking at He Daqing's face, the group members all burst into laughter.
"Well, let's not talk about it for now. I'm going."
He Daqing took a deep breath, said hello to the group members, and walked into the central courtyard.
There were about a hundred people standing sparsely in the yard, some standing and some sitting, surrounding a table in the middle, with three people sitting behind the table.
Sitting on both sides of the table were Sha Zhu, Xu Damao and his wife, who were the parties involved.
Sha Zhu had a face that looked like he was in his forties or fifties. Next to him sat the pretty widow Qin and the shrew Jia Zhang.
Xu Damao had a donkey face, and next to him was his wife Lou Xiao'e, who didn't look like an ordinary person judging by her clothes;
Yi Zhonghai has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looks righteous, but in fact he is full of thieves and prostitutes.
Fatty Liu had a big belly and his hands were behind his back, looking like a leader; Old West Yan was thin, wore a pair of glasses, and had one leg wrapped in tape.
As for the others, they were just passers-by, so He Daqing just glanced at them and ignored them.
at this time.
Faced with the questioning of the three managers and the hint from Widow Qin, Sha Zhu simply admitted that he was a chicken thief.
“Bang!”
"Shazhu, you are awesome! There has never been a thief in my He family. You really bring honor to my He family!"
He Daqing came from outside the yard and kicked Sha Zhu to the ground.
When everyone saw He Daqing appear and knock down Sha Zhu, they were all stunned.
"Why do you hit me?"
Sha Zhu looked at He Daqing with anger on his face and questioned.
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
He Daqing didn't answer and slapped him twice on the spot.
One on the left, one on the right, beat Shazhu's old face until it was swollen.
"stop!"
Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai hurried over and shouted loudly.
He Daqing ignored him, grabbed Sha Zhu's collar and carried him to the middle of the compound.
"Why, are you three officials here to judge a case?"
He threw Shazhu onto the table, and with a bang, the table broke into pieces. Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui quickly dodged.
Everyone was horrified when they saw this. No one had ever dared to disrupt a whole-house meeting, let alone smash the table.
Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e looked at each other, not understanding what He Daqing was up to.
"He Daqing, you are so bold, so lawless!"
Yi Zhonghai was so angry that he shouted loudly, but in his heart he was afraid that He Daqing would reveal everything.
"It's only natural for a father to beat his son. Why can't I beat him?"
He Daqing lit a cigarette, blew a puff of smoke at Yi Zhonghai and questioned him.
"Oh, that's right, Old Yi, you are an extinct family, you don't have any sons, haha!"
After saying this, he burst into laughter. Yi Zhonghai was so angry that his face turned blue and he was shaking all over.
"Old Yan, you are a scholar, please read it to us."
Ignoring Yi Zhonghai, He Daqing took out the certificate documents issued at the steel rolling mill in the afternoon and handed them to Yan Bugui.
Yan Bugui took it and read: "Today I have received a fee of five hundred yuan from He Yuzhu, the foreman of the East Canteen of the Steel Rolling Mill, for the use of materials. This is the receipt, dated November 21, 1965. The stamp of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill is at the back."
"Over the years, Shazhu has been bringing vegetables home from the factory, and I, as his father, have made up the difference in his earnings."
After Yan Bugui finished reading, He Daqing looked around and shouted, "Who agrees, who opposes?"
Everyone fell silent. With the steel mill's certificate, there was no way to trouble Sha Zhu anymore.
"Uncle He, where's my chicken?"
Xu Damao gritted his teeth, stood up and asked.
"When I came back in the afternoon, I passed by the cement pipe and saw a 12-year-old boy with a pot-cut haircut, with a girl of about seven or eight years old and a girl of about three years old roasting chickens. I guess they were your chickens."
After He Daqing finished speaking, he glanced at Widow Qin standing beside him.
"Okay, I was wondering why you, Widow Qin, were so active in speaking up for me today. It turns out that Bang Geng stole my chickens, and asked Sha Zhu to take the blame for them!"
Following his gaze, Xu Damao immediately reacted and shouted to Widow Qin.
"It's a good thing that I used to think your family was not doing well and I helped you from time to time."
Lou Xiao'e, who was standing by, also said angrily, "So this is how you repay me?"
"That's what they call a dragon giving birth to a dragon, a phoenix giving birth to a phoenix, and a mouse's son will dig holes!"
He Daqing exhaled a puff of cigarette, chuckled and said, "Like parents, like children will be."
"Call out all three of your children!"
With the support of He Daqing, Xu Damao immediately shouted to Widow Qin.
"It is impossible for my Bang Geng to steal other people's chickens, Xu Damao, please stop slandering me!"
Widow Qin's face changed and she shouted.
"Damn He Daqing, damn He Daqing, you will not die well."
"Lao Jia, Dong Xu, please come up and take a look. Our family is being bullied to death. Please come up and take them away."
Jia Zhang sat on the ground and began to slap her thighs. This was also her signature move: summoning spirits! "Well, Zhang Xiaohua, you are a feudal superstitious person. You can go in and eat government food for half a month!"
He Daqing blew out a puff of smoke and said calmly, "You ate the public food and saved your own food. You got a great bargain!"
"Shut up, Lao He, what nonsense are you talking about?"
At this time, Yi Zhonghai reacted, his face changed and he shouted loudly.
"It's okay. I've asked my daughter to call the people from the street office and the police station. Let's settle all the old and new accounts today!"
He Daqing flicked the ash from his cigarette and said something casually that made everyone's face change drastically.
He originally wanted to give Yi Zhonghai a chance, but now it seems that it is unnecessary!
"Tap, tap, tap"
As soon as he finished speaking, several staff members and police officers from the police station walked in from outside the courtyard.
The leaders were He Yushui, Director Wang from the Street Office, and a deputy director of a police station.
"Director Wang and several police officers are here. I want to report Yi Zhonghai for embezzling 1,800 yuan from me!"
"Not only that, Yi Zhonghai also deceived the public, fabricated the identity of the deaf old lady as a martyr's relative, engaged in personal factionism and feudal patriarchy in the courtyard, and illegally raised funds and donations for several years to achieve his ulterior motives. I suspect he is a spy."
He Daqing stepped forward, greeted a few people, and then listed Yi Zhonghai's crimes one by one.
Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai's face turned pale without a trace of blood, and he could not stand steadily and was about to fall.
The others were too frightened to say a word, waiting for things to change.
Director Wang and the deputy director of the police station all frowned when they heard this.
"Comrade, you reported him, do you have any evidence?"
The deputy director signaled two policemen to stand behind Yi Zhonghai to prevent him from escaping, and then asked He Daqing.
Nearly two thousand dollars was involved, so this was a very serious case.
"Let's take them one by one. These are the letters and money stubs I sent from Baoding to my children over the past 15 years. I sent 10 yuan every month, but my children didn't receive them. They were all intercepted by Yi Zhonghai."
He Daqing took out the stub left by the original owner from his bosom, handed it over, and said, "15 years, 10 yuan per month, a total of 1,800 yuan."
His words carry a powerful spiritual force that makes people involuntarily quiet down and listen, and are convincing.
"I didn't know about this before. When I was in Baoding, I overheard a friend say that my children had been picking up trash for two years after I left, and that's how they were able to survive."
Then he explained: "I just found out that my son and daughter did not receive the money I sent. After I made inquiries from various sources, I found out that Yi Zhonghai had embezzled the money."
"Not only that, he also tricked my son into helping the Jia family. In the past few years since Jia Dongxu's death, he tricked my useless and stupid son into helping the Jia family regardless of any consequences."
"According to statistics, the amount of money is at least 1,500 yuan, and there are also lunch boxes that I bring to their home every day, which is even more impossible to calculate."
As he spoke, He Daqing took He Yushui's hand and said to everyone, "Look at the Jia family, they are all fat and plump, and then look at my daughter, she doesn't have any flesh on her body, this is what Yi Zhonghai did!"
"That's the first thing, I'll tell you the second one next!"
After a pause, He Daqing continued, "The deaf old lady was originally the daughter of an official family in the old times. Not to mention the relatives of martyrs, she was not even a five-guarantee household. Yi Zhonghai actually spread the word in the courtyard that the deaf old lady had donated shoes to the Red Army and used the tiger skin as a banner."
"I want to ask everyone, the capital has always been an enemy-occupied area. How did an old lady with bound feet like her give shoes to the Red Army? How did she become a martyr's relative? Could she have flown over there?"
"Then let's talk about the third problem, which is feudal patriarchy and individualism."
"In order to achieve his goal of dominating the courtyard, whenever there is a different voice in the courtyard, he will use morality, loyalty and advanced courtyards as weapons to suppress the other party. Those who obey me will prosper, and those who oppose me will perish!"
"The fourth issue is about illegal donations. Our third uncle, Old Yan, has an account book that clearly records the data of each donation."
"If I remember correctly, the manager doesn't have the power to mobilize residents to donate money, right? Only the street office has that power, right?"
"He said he was doing it to help the neighbors in the courtyard, but when did he donate money but for the Jia family? This is using the name of donations to make money, which is a heinous crime!"
"In fact, is the Jia family poor? Not at all!"
"First, there's Widow Qin, who earns 27.5 yuan a month. Her family of five is above the poverty line of five yuan per person."
"Then there is the pension for Lao Jia and Xiao Jia. If I remember correctly, the steel mill gave them 300 yuan and 400 yuan respectively, which makes 700 yuan here."
"They also have the only sewing machine in our entire hospital, and Jia Zhang also hid a gold ring."
"Adding in the occasional monetary assistance from my silly son and the lunch boxes he gives me every day, I estimate that the Jia family's assets are at least two thousand yuan!"
"I just want to ask, apart from the three stewards in our courtyard, who else's family is richer than the Jia family?"
"Based on all the above, I have every reason to suspect that Yi Zhonghai is a spy lurking among the masses!"
Since you want to make trouble, then make it bigger! He Daqing will never give up until Yi Zhonghai is sent to prison! (End of this chapter)
