Chapter 379 Shall we go to the police station now?
"I really didn't know that the people in Beijing were living in a state where they could starve to death at any time!"
"And how many people are there in your family to be able to eat so many dishes!"
"Every family has a large family, so how come others can survive?"
"Let's not talk about this dish. You can let everyone see this chicken coop."
“What are these seven or eight chickens eating!”
After listening to Shen Anan's words, everyone turned their attention to the stone trough in the chicken coop, and saw that the feed inside was vegetable leaves mixed with corn flour.
Although it has been pecked to pieces by the chicken, it can be seen that it should be cabbage leaves.
We are not fools. The family that cannot afford to eat can use the food to feed chickens.
In particular, the lady in the crowd who was asked by Mrs. Cao to pick vegetable leaves to eat suddenly had a dark face.
It turns out that Mrs. Cao picked up the vegetable leaves to feed the chickens!
In Mrs. Cao's eyes, their family is just eating chicken feed!
She's behind her back, and there's no telling how they'll laugh at her!
"Mrs. Cao, your family obviously has plenty of food, yet you pretend to be poor. Who are you trying to fool?"
"I was also blind before, how could I believe your nonsense!"
Mrs. Cao looked unnatural, and quickly explained, "Mr. Zhao, I didn't lie. The chicken feed is mainly the old leaves in the yard that can't be eaten. It's true!"
Cao Chunhua really didn't expect Shen Anan to expose the matter completely without any mercy.
You know, during this year, even though she made money, she still wore clothes with patches on top of patches, just to avoid being discovered!
You know, even if they eat some meat occasionally, they dare not make too much noise, for fear of being discovered by the neighbors around them.
Sometimes they even have to cook in Shen Anan's kitchen just to keep it secret.
"Old Zhao, you really misunderstood. I can explain it!"
Before Mrs. Cao could finish her words, the old lady who had been carrying a basket of vegetables and helping Mrs. Cao to speak came out with a sullen face.
"Okay, okay, now it's time to cook, let's go!"
"Instead of spending time watching the fun, you might as well go back and cook!"
It was obvious that what the old lady said had some weight. After she said this, everyone looked at each other and some people walked out in twos and threes.
Even those aunts who obviously wanted to continue watching the fun left in shame after being urged a few times.
Soon, only the Shen family and the Cao family were left confronting each other in the yard.
"Director Xu, you, you have to make the decision for me!"
"You know, all this is because our family is in such a difficult situation. I really didn't do it on purpose!"
When Mrs. Cao saw the crowd disperse, she was obviously relieved. She rushed back to her own yard, locked the door, and then came back.
"Cao Chunhua, do you take me for a fool?"
At first, Mrs. Cao wanted to play the emotional card, relying on the fact that she had lived here for many years, but was pushed away by the old lady.
The old lady's face was serious, and she pointed at Mrs. Cao and said, "These are the only dishes and chickens. You said it's because you want to eat them at home?"
"If you were eating at home, would you need to be so sneaky?"
"If you keep this attitude, I will take you directly to the police station! I will make you explain yourself!"
"No, no, Director Xu, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong."
When she heard that they had to go to the police station, Mrs. Cao suddenly became anxious, and her tone was full of fear.
Not to mention anything else, just the fact that she raises so many chickens is absolutely not allowed.
Even if she wasn't caught in the act of speculation, these things wouldn't stand up to scrutiny.
Hu Maner, who was standing next to him, also came forward with a pale face and kept saying nice things.
"Director Xu, please, don't call the police!"
Director Xu completely ignored the two of them, and instead took a few steps to Shen Anan.
"Miss, let me introduce myself first. I am the deputy director of our neighborhood office. My last name is Xu."
"The Cao family was definitely wrong in what happened today. Don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter. I will also make them compensate you for all the losses you have suffered!"
"But, to be honest, they are all from the same neighborhood."
"Can you please not make this matter public? After all, if this person is really arrested, it will be bad for the reputation of our street."
"Even if we don't tell anyone, there were so many people here, we can't hide it!"
"Don't worry, I'll go to each of their houses to give them instructions. As long as you can understand, that's all!"
After listening to Shen Anan’s words, Director Xu finally smiled.
To be honest, if the Cao family was really arrested for speculation, they, as street cadres, would definitely be criticized for not discovering it for so long.
And if this happened, their street office would definitely not be eligible for any advanced selection this year.
"Director Xu, don't worry, we will definitely cooperate with you."
"We will be living here for a long time, so we need your care!"
"Don't worry, I live in the first house at the entrance of our alley. If you have any problems, just come to my house and find me!"
“By the way, Director Shen, what about my yard?”
Director Xu hesitated for a moment and said, "Young lady, don't worry. Since you are so generous, I will never let you suffer any injustice!"
"Well, since these vegetables are grown in your yard and the chickens are raised in your yard, then all of these things belong to you!"
"I'll watch the Cao family build the wall for you tomorrow! As for the damage to this yard, let the Cao family compensate you with a hundred dollars, is that okay with you?"
As soon as Director Xu said this, before Shen Anan could speak, Mrs. Cao was already wailing on the side.
"Wow, Director Xu, you can't just let this happen!"
"Let alone other things, just the eight chickens, I raised them bit by bit, each weighing several kilograms, how can I give them all to them!"
"And these vegetables, they only grew like this because I watered and weeded them every day!"
Director Xu heard her wailing and glared at her instead.
"Why, isn't this vegetable grown in someone else's yard?"
"Isn't this chicken raised with vegetables grown in someone else's yard?"
"If you are not satisfied with my handling of the matter, let's go to the police station now!"
Mrs. Cao covered her chest with her hands in pain, as if she was about to faint.
"Even if it's just to repair the yard, why would it cost a hundred dollars? When I come back, I'll ask all the men in the family to help. I'll definitely be able to restore her to her original appearance!"
Director Xu glared at me and said, "If you keep making trouble, it won't be a hundred yuan anymore!"
"If you feel bad, that's right. I hope you remember this lesson and never make the same mistake again!"
