Qin Huairu had known about Bang Geng's petty theft for a long time, but what boy isn't mischievous from a young age? Besides, Bang Geng stealing from Sha Zhu's house was a sign of respect for Sha Zhu, so what was there to be afraid of? As long as she cleaned up Sha Zhu's house afterwards, it would be fine.
It's a win-win situation: it cleans up the traces left by the stick and also wins favor with Shaju.
Soon, the people who had been arrested by the neighborhood committee returned one after another. Aunt Er looked anxiously at Yi Zhonghai: "Uncle Yi, where's Haizhong? Why didn't he come back with you? Wasn't he arrested with you?"
Ever since Liu Haizhong was arrested, Aunt Er has been feeling extremely uneasy.
"Sigh," sighed Yi Zhonghai, an old man. He hadn't managed to control the MCA this time; in fact, he almost got himself arrested. Luckily, the old lady intervened and got him out of trouble, otherwise he would have been in serious trouble. And now he'd have to go to the neighborhood office for a week of "re-education."
"Hmph, Second Aunt, how dare you ask? If it weren't for Liu Haizhong, would we have suffered so much!" Sha Zhu glared at Second Aunt with annoyance.
Sha Zhu felt this was a completely undeserved disaster. All he did was say a few words, so why was he taken away for no reason?
Madam Jia remained silent, silently praying that she could no longer call out to Old Jia. "Old Jia, just stay here peacefully underground. The ground is too chaotic. Please don't come up here. Please protect our Jia family and keep us safe and sound."
Only Xu Damao's eyes shone brightly, and he was full of energy. In the neighborhood office, he had gained a new understanding of what individualism and social responsibility truly meant.
Xu Damao, who was originally in the propaganda department, could easily see that society was about to change. Xu Damao felt that this was actually a blessing in disguise.
Fortunately, it's only a small sign now. If it happened next year, these people would be either dead or crippled. Liu Hai is the most pitiful one, since the whole thing was started by him.
He was directly sent to a cowshed for a month of labor reform by the street office, and he also had to attend political classes every day and reflect on his own actions.
As soon as Sha Zhu arrived home, he saw Sister Qin busy at his house. Sha Zhu couldn't help but chuckle. Sister Qin was so kind. Actually, Qin Huairu had already seen Sha Zhu return, otherwise she wouldn't have chosen this time to come.
Qin Huairu turned around, pretending to be startled by Sha Zhu, and said with a smile, "Zhu Zi, why are you so mean now? You came back without saying a word. Well, since you're back, you can clean up the mess yourself!"
"No, Sister Qin, why don't you help me clean up?" Sha Zhu refused. Wouldn't it be better to have someone else do the work? Why should he do it himself?
"Hmph," Qin Huairu pretended to be a little woman and glared at Sha Zhu in annoyance. Sha Zhu was overjoyed by Qin Huairu's charm and his self-esteem was greatly satisfied. See? I told you I was charming.
As Qin Huairu tidied up, she asked Sha Zhu, "What's going on here? Are you all alright?"
"Ugh, what bad luck! Let me tell you, we have to go to the neighborhood office for a week of training!" Sha Zhu said indignantly. In his opinion, it wasn't a big deal, so why did it have to be like this?
"Oh, is it that serious?" Qin Huairu was completely shocked this time. How could this be?
"Who says otherwise? We didn't expect it to turn out like this either. We're alright, but Second Uncle is in real trouble!" Sha Zhu proudly took out half a bottle of wine from the cupboard and poured himself a glass with a satisfied smile.
"Oh, hasn't Second Uncle come back yet?" Qin Huairu asked hurriedly.
"Why would I come back? Don't you remember what Second Uncle just said?" Sha Zhu said disdainfully. In his opinion, since Liu Haizhong was always going against him, it was better for him to suffer!
"Alright, Zhu Zi, you go ahead with your work. I'm going back to check on my mother-in-law." Qin Huairu hurriedly said goodbye. How could this matter be so serious?
"Mom, are you alright!" Qin Huairu rushed home and saw Jia Zhangshi sitting blankly in front of a stool with a dazed look in her eyes.
"Mom, Mom." Qin Huairu was afraid that something had happened to Jia Zhangshi, so she hurriedly stepped forward and pushed her with her hand.
"Damn it, why did you touch me?" Jia Zhangshi glared at Qin Huairu angrily, then, thinking of what she was about to suffer, she immediately stared intently at Qin Huairu.
"Qin Huairu, you bastard! Why didn't you save me just now? You just let me be taken away by the neighborhood committee. Let me tell you, you..." Before Jia Zhangshi could finish speaking, she immediately spat a few times.
I must never mention this again. Liu Haizhong's ordeal terrified Jia Zhangshi. Heaven knows what suffering I, Jia Zhangshi, endured just now.
I'm an illiterate old woman, and not only do they make me go to class, they also make me write self-criticisms. All I can write is my own name!
Leaving the Jia family aside for now, Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady sat facing each other in the room. Yi Zhonghai's eyes kept sweeping over the old lady, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
The old lady snapped, "What's wrong? Do you think I set you up?"
"No, no, I just feel like something's not right. We clearly didn't see this!" Yi Zhonghai quickly shook his head, indicating that it wasn't him.
"Hmph, looks like this kid deliberately showed us. He's trying to trick us. And you, didn't I tell you before that his family didn't have it?"
"You have to get me something too, don't you? Why aren't you doing anything?"
At this moment, the old lady's face was full of wrinkles, and she looked at Yi Zhonghai with a fierce gaze.
"Well, there wasn't enough time, and the neighborhood committee took him away. I'll release him later," Yi Zhonghai quickly explained.
"It's too late. We've alerted them. This trick won't work anymore. Let's think of another way," the old lady shook her head. This trick only worked the first time; it wouldn't work again. After thinking for a moment, the old lady whispered a few words in Yi Zhonghai's ear.
"Grandma, oh, Uncle's here too." Sha Zhu cheerfully pushed open the door and entered, just in time to see Yi Zhonghai in the old lady's room.
"Zhu Zi is here! Come and sit down!" The deaf old lady's expression immediately changed when she saw Sha Zhu arrive, and she spoke to Sha Zhu with a kind and gentle look.
"Alright, Zhu Zi, you're quite filial, knowing to come and see the old lady. Well, since it's not cold in your room, I'll be going now!" Yi Zhonghai gave Sha Zhu a few pointers and then hurriedly left.
"Hey, grandpa, why are you so energetic these days? By the way, Grandma, what did you ask me to do here?" Sha Zhu scratched his head.
"It's getting cold! I bought you a pair of shoes and a scarf!" The old lady happily took out the prepared items from the cupboard and handed them to Sha Zhu.
"Grandma, you're so good to me." Sha Zhu scratched his head shyly and chuckled sheepishly.
"Silly child, hurry up and try it," the old lady urged Sha Zhu hurriedly, to see if it was suitable.
"Hey, Grandma, don't say that. Don't think that just because everyone in the yard says you're deaf and blind, they're the ones who's getting old and senile!" Sha Zhu tried it on and found it fit perfectly, and it was also very warm.
