People in the Siheyuan: I am a Buddhist who is in a mess
Chapter 20 New and old grudges
"That girl Yu Shui is so sad. She saved this money by doing a lot of part-time jobs during this summer vacation." Liu Mei was indignant when talking about this. She had been at odds with Jia Zhang for a long time. Although she had said that the incident in which Jia Zhang scolded her until she fainted was a thing of the past, she definitely still held a grudge. Today's incident was a new grudge added to old grudges.
"Should we tell Lin Yi? Will he have any solution?" Seeing that Yi Zhonghai could not be relied on, Liu Mei wanted to find Lin Yi.
Today, Lin Yi planned to go on a patrol with the members of the security team. He told them in advance that he would not be back for dinner and would be back a little later.
Yi Zhonghai was a little reluctant at first. After all, he was the eldest brother in the courtyard. If he had to go to Lin Yi for everything, wouldn't his prestige as an eldest brother be destroyed? However, now he and Lin Yi were known to everyone in the courtyard. The two families cooked and ate together like a family. Yi Zhonghai had hinted overtly and covertly that his retirement would be entrusted to Lin Yi in the future. Moreover, Lin Yi had never explicitly expressed his opposition, and of course, he had never agreed in public. However, from the outside, it seemed that Lin Yi had agreed.
"Okay, I'll ask someone to go to the factory and call Lin Yi back." Yi Zhonghai couldn't persuade Liu Mei, so he agreed.
As it was not time for dinner yet, Yi Zhonghai went to Liu Haizhong's room.
"Old Liu, ask your child to go to the guard at the steel rolling mill and call Lin Yi over." After entering the house, Yi Zhonghai said to Liu Haizhong, who acted like the patriarch of the family.
"Dad, uncle, I'll go." Liu Guangfu agreed before Liu Haizhong could say anything and put on his shoes quickly.
Liu Guangtian then realized that he also wanted to go. Lin Yi had been wearing a uniform to and from get off work these past two days. He looked so handsome and majestic. He also wanted to get close to Lin Yi.
Liu Haizhong had no choice but to wave his hand and said, "Go ahead. Go and call Team Leader Lin."
"Old Yi, this matter is not easy to resolve. The husband says he is right, and the wife says she is right. Without evidence, Jia Zhang will definitely not admit it." Liu Haizhong knew that there would definitely be a compound meeting tonight, and Yi Zhonghai was about to call Lin Yi back from the factory.
"Let's hold a meeting first and take a look," Yi Zhonghai had no idea at the moment.
When Yi Zhonghai saw four sets of bowls and chopsticks on the dining table in Liu Haizhong's house, he knew that his eldest son and daughter-in-law had not come home again. He wanted to say something about it, but then he thought that he didn't have any children of his own, and talking about this would only make Liu Haizhong upset. So he stopped talking, said a few polite words, and then went back to the old lady's room.
..... ..
Although Liu Haizhong is a rough man, he is very sensitive when it comes to face. He saw Yi Zhonghai counting the bowls and chopsticks, and he felt uncomfortable. He had always been partial to his eldest son, but now he had forgotten his parents after getting married. This really disappointed him.
In fact, Liu Haizhong also understood that it would be difficult for his eldest son to move back after he got married and moved out. But he just had a thought that if he could get the house in the courtyard, even just one, his eldest son and daughter-in-law might come back.
"What are you looking at? Hurry up and eat. After dinner, put the chairs in the courtyard away."
Seeing Liu Guangtian's nonchalant look, Liu Haizhong became furious. Fortunately, he knew that there would be a compound meeting soon and this was not the time to beat his son, otherwise, he would have done it.
Liu Guangtian was shocked when he heard what Liu Haizhong said, and immediately sat down and started to eat. He had pickled cabbage with fried eggs with chives, but he didn't dare to take the eggs because they were for Liu Haizhong and Li Zhaodi. If Liu Guangqi was there, he would have the biggest portion.
Liu Guangfu jogged all the way and just as he reached the front yard, he saw his third uncle Yan Fugui's eldest son, Yan Jiecheng, coming in from outside with his head hung low. There was blood on his nose and bruises on his eye sockets.
In the past, Liu Guangfu would definitely ask for the truth, but at this time, he had a mission, so he looked at Wan for a few more times and didn't care.
When Liu Guangfu arrived at the steel rolling mill, he happened to see Lin Yi, Zhang Dajun and Zhang Dabing, both pushing bicycles, coming out of the gate and preparing to go on patrol.
"Brother Lin Yi." Liu Guangfu called affectionately.
Lin Yi heard the shout and stopped. Seeing that it was Liu Guangfu, he asked, "Guangfu, what's the matter?"
Liu Guangfu looked at Lin Yi, who was in uniform and pushing a bicycle, with envy on his face. He quickly told him about the meeting that was going to be held in the courtyard, especially about He Yushui's lost money.
Young people's cognitive perspective is much simpler.
In Liu Guangfu's eyes, how could Jia Zhang compare to the beautiful He Yushui? Naturally, what He Yushui said was true, and it was Jia Zhang who made the mistake. It was a foregone conclusion that Jia Zhang had embezzled He Yushui's money.
"Team leader, this is a big deal. There are still people with such low ideological quality. They must be educated properly." Zhang Dabin said.
When Liu Guangfu was talking, he and Zhang Dajun were listening and watching Lin Yi's expression. When they noticed the disgust on Lin Yi's face when he heard the name Jia Zhang, they knew that their team leader did not get along with the Jia family, so they quickly expressed their attitude.
"Okay, we are about to go on patrol, so let's start with the courtyard where I live, and see if we can figure things out while we're at it."
"Guangfu, sit behind me and I'll take you back." Lin Yi turned the bike around and prepared to ride back to the courtyard.
"Team leader, let me take this young brother with me. You go in front and we follow behind." Zhang Dajun grabbed Liu Guangfu, who wanted to jump into the back seat of the car, and suggested with a smile.
Lin Yi didn't care, nodded, and rode away on his bike.
Lin Yi pedaled very fast, he was very excited. He had participated in several meetings in this compound, but he was always one of the parties involved and had never been a spectator. Today he could be a spectator again, and he was really happy.
As for the wallet that was picked up, one said that the other party had stolen the money, and the other said that the other party was blackmailing him. Lin Yi really didn't care much. This matter, even in the future, would not be so easy to handle. Evidence was the hardest to find. Without evidence, he would just have to compromise in the end.
As for the two parties, Lin Yi believed He Yushui more. This girl had always been timid, shy and strong during the days when Lin Yi traveled through time. She looked weak on the surface, but she had her own opinions. As for Jia Zhangshi, there was no need to say more. He hated her for sure. However, sometimes, Lin Yi was also soft-hearted. He was not soft-hearted towards Jia Zhangshi, nor towards Qin Huairu, nor towards Banggeng, but towards Xiaodang.
In fact, if we put aside Xiaodang’s family background and take him out on his own, it would be hard for anyone not to sympathize with this poor human cub.
Without mentioning other things, as a mother, Qin Huairu is qualified. Even though the family conditions are not good, she takes good care of Xiaodang. In addition, Xiaodang has the foundation of Qin Huairu as a mother, so he did not grow up badly. He is pink and cute, just a little thin. But even so, Xiaodang with big eyes and talking to people in a baby voice, Lin Yi likes him from the bottom of his heart.
This is also the result of the soul of a forty-year-old uncle in Lin Yi’s two lives. He can’t stand the sight of cute little girls.
In fact, this is one of the reasons why Lin Yi tolerated Qin Huairu's acting pitiful and weak in the courtyard.
Everyone in the courtyard could see that Lin Yi liked Xiaodang. Whenever they met, he would always give him candies and snacks. Whenever Xiaodang appeared in the backyard at mealtime, Lin Yi would prepare a set of bowls and chopsticks for Xiaodang and pick out delicious dishes for him.
However, Banggeng did not receive this kind of treatment. Although they were not cruel to him, the alienation was so strong that not only Banggeng could feel it, but others could also see it.
Lin Yi had just returned to the front yard when he met Xu Damao who had returned from the countryside to show a movie. On the back seat of his bicycle were placed movie equipment, and on the handlebars were a piece of bacon and a string of unknown mushrooms.
"Brother Lin Yi, did you just get back from get off work?" Xu Damao was a little hesitant to recognize Lin Yi when he saw him.
When Lin Yi reported to the steel rolling mill, he went to the countryside to show movies. He just came back today and didn't know that Lin Yi had become the head of the steel rolling mill's security team.
This Lin Yi was wearing a uniform, and Xu Damao was really unsure for a moment.
"Hey, Xu Damao, you live in this courtyard too?" Zhang Dabin, who was following behind, knew Xu Damao and greeted him when he saw him.
Xu Damao saw Zhang Dabin and Zhang Dajun both wearing uniforms in the yard. He remembered that they were the uniforms of the security department of the steel rolling mill, and said with a guilty conscience: "I live in the front yard. Dabin, are you here on business today?"
After asking, Xu Damao took another look at Lin Yi's clothes and wondered what Lin Yi had done to deserve to wear the security department's uniform.
"We are on patrol today with our Team Leader Lin. Someone has reported a case, so Team Leader Lin brought us here to take a look." Zhang Dabin became much more polite when he saw that Xu Damao and Lin Yi were neighbors in the same compound.
"Ah, report a case? Who reported the case and what case did you report?" Xu Damao felt even more guilty and asked hurriedly. His hands were sweating from gripping the handlebars.
"Brother Damao, it was Jia Dongxu's mother who picked up Shazhu's sister's wallet and refused to return the money. Uncle Yi and my father asked me to find Brother Lin Yi." Liu Guangfu spoke from behind and saw the bacon on Xu Damao's handlebars and looked at it a few more times.
Hearing this, Xu Damao felt relieved. It had nothing to do with him.
At this time, Xu Damao came to his senses and asked, "Team leader? Lin Yi, are you the team leader?"
Xu Damao couldn't believe it. Before he went to the countryside, Lin Yi was still working as a temporary worker in the canteen of the street office. He was even worse off than Sha Zhu's wife Yu Li. There were only a few people in the canteen of the street office, and the temporary workers there were just idling around. It had only been a few days, not even a week, and Lin Yi had suddenly changed into a new person. He put on the uniform and became the leader of the security team.
Xu Damao, who works in the Propaganda Department, naturally knows the leader of the security group. Although he is in charge of a small number of people, he is a full-fledged cadre. He is not the same leader as the production team leaders in the production workshop.
"Xu Damao, what are you talking about?" Zhang Dajun also spoke. He was a little dissatisfied. What did it mean to "become a team leader"? Although Lin Yi had been the team leader for only two days, he had indeed convinced the people in their security team.
"Xu Damao, you don't know that we are going to the countryside to show movies. This is the new leader of our security team, appointed by the factory manager and our director." Zhang Dabin stood aside, giving Lin Yi the leader's authenticity and reciting the book.
As soon as I entered the middle courtyard, I saw Jia Zhang crying again. Qin Huairu was also sobbing beside me with her head down and shoulders shrugged.
Yu Li stood on the other side, her face turning red and white. Obviously, she underestimated Jia Zhang's fighting ability.
No one around Jia Zhang tried to persuade her. After all, everyone in the courtyard knew about Jia Zhang's bad habits. If things went wrong, she would be blackmailed. However, there were many people muttering in the crowd, and many of them were pointing fingers.
Yu Li has good ears and can tell that many people are saying that she is just looking for trouble.
In the eyes of many people in the hospital, the ones who were in the wrong in this matter were He Yushui and Yu Li.
No one knows how much money is in the cloth bag, and we can't just rely on He Yushui's words to determine the amount.
Banggeng picked up the cloth bag and Jia Zhang returned ten yuan, which was acknowledged by both parties. Putting aside the fact that Jia Zhang may have embezzled thirty yuan, this matter can be said to be a good deed, and Banggeng should be praised.
