Yi Zhonghai's Siheyuan

The moon was already high in the sky, and the courtyard had become quiet. Everyone was almost asleep, and whispers were coming from the Yan family's room.

"Old Yan, what if you are discovered reporting Sha Zhu like this? The last incident with Jie Cheng has already embarrassed us in this courtyard."

"Tsk, you women are always short-sighted. As long as we don't tell anyone, who would know? Let this idiot show off by buying a bicycle to show off to me."

There was a creaking sound in the front yard, and the door of Yan's house opened. Yan Bugui climbed over the wall in the moonlight. Yang Ruihua hurriedly moved the stool back home and stepped on the spot a few times to prevent anyone from finding any traces.

After arriving at the street office, Yan Bugui stuffed the papers into the reporting mailbox. Then he returned to the gate of the compound, picked up a few bricks from the side, used them as a cushion, and then stepped on them and climbed in from the outside of the wall.

The next day, Sha Zhu happily pushed his bicycle to work, and everyone was envious. Only Yan Bugui looked at Sha Zhu with contempt, as if he was enjoying a good show.

Director Wang from the Street Office was called over by Officer Chen while he was at work today. There was a letter of complaint in the mailbox, which was a report on He Yuzhu of Compound No. 95.

Director Wang took a look at the words on the paper and found them poorly written. After reading it, he instructed Secretary Chen to go to the courtyard to investigate in the evening.

At this time, Sha Zhu was happily riding a bicycle with his three little ones to the steel rolling mill. This morning, Yi Zhonghai also put his two children on the bicycle, and there was an extra child, Xuanyuduo, on the back seat because Xu Damao really couldn't carry so many people.

After arriving at the steel mill, Yi Zhonghai took the design drawings of the pressure cooker to Li Huaide. After reading them, Li Huaide decided to produce a sample first, and then see how it works, and then take it to the Ministry of Metallurgy to show it to the leaders there.

Then Yi Zhonghai introduced the function of the pressure cooker and how to make the gas valve in detail. Li Huaide was very impressed after listening to it, and told Yi Zhonghai that the people from the machine repair factory would send a car to pick him up this afternoon.

This was Yi Zhonghai's first business trip, but fortunately the machine repair factory was also in Sijiu City. It was not too far and acceptable. I made some braised meat for my wife last night.

Time passed quickly and it was noon. After lunch, Yi Zhonghai went back home to get some clothes to change into, said a few words to Huang Yulan, and took a car to the machine repair shop. He looked around all the way and watched the car drive to the outskirts of Sijiu City.

Sha Zhu is in a very good mood today. He now has a wife and children, a bicycle, and has been promoted. He is not as carefree as before. His coworkers no longer shake the spoons when they come to the canteen to get food, and he flatters his boss.

At the Yan family, Yan Bugui was humming a little tune happily. Just now, he saw Yi Zhonghai packing up his bags and walking out. He asked casually and found out that he was going on a business trip.

Since Yi Zhonghai is on a business trip, no one in this yard will help Sha Zhu. Let's just wait and watch the show in the evening.

As the bell rang, Sha Zhu did not ride his bike but pushed it instead. Because Yi Xuanzong and Yi Xuanling were coming back with him today, the bike certainly could not carry so many people.

As soon as Sha Zhu returned to the courtyard, he saw Yan Bugui waiting for him at the door. Sha Zhu ignored him and pushed his bicycle towards the courtyard. Yi Xuanling ran home when he arrived at the courtyard, along with He Xiao and the others.

"Wife, wife, I'm back! I'm so tired. I won't ride a bike for a while." Sha Zhu returned home and drank a teacup of water.

"Brother Zhuzi, why don't you ride your bike?"

"Well, today Uncle Yi told me that he was going on a business trip to the machine repair factory, and asked me to help pick up and drop off a few children in the next few days. My bicycle can't carry so many people."

"That's right. Then you should push your bicycle into the house. Don't let it get wet in the rain or it will get rusty."

After Yang Yuhuan finished speaking, Sha Zhu went outside the house to push his bicycle. As soon as he stepped out of the room, he saw Director Wang leading two staff members to the central courtyard.

Sha Zhu, who was pushing his bicycle, heard someone talking about him behind him.

Director Wang spoke first, "He Yuzhu, we received a report that you were engaged in speculation. Where did you get your bicycle?"

"Director Wang, I bought this bicycle from a state-owned department store. Look, there's a steel stamp on it from yesterday." Sha Zhu said nonchalantly.

The neighbors in the yard all crowded together to watch the fun, while Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui laughed obscenely in the crowd behind them. Liu Haizhong thought that God had opened his eyes and let you, a fool, show off.

Yan Bugui felt that these were all his own work, and he was happy to see Sha Zhu being humiliated.

Director Wang went forward to look at the stamp, then looked at the bicycle and found that it was indeed stamped by the police station. Seeing that the bicycle was still new, it meant that Sha Zhu was not lying.

Director Wang then asked, "He Yuzhu, where did you get your bicycle ticket?"

Just when Sha Zhu was getting impatient, Yang Yuhuan came out. She held the receipt for the bicycle and said to Director Wang, "Director Wang, this receipt was given to us by the leader when Zhuzi cooked for him. If Director Wang doesn't believe me, you can go to the steel mill and ask."

Sha Zhu was looking at his wife with a confused look on his face. Yang Yuhuan gave him a look that told him not to speak. Sure enough, when Director Wang heard that it was given by the leader, he stopped talking.

Seeing that Director Wang didn't say anything, Sha Zhu was not going to give up. He walked over to Director Wang and said, "Director Wang, I've made a mistake with this bicycle. I want to know from whom did you hear about my purchase of the bicycle?"

"He Yuzhu, I can't tell you the whistleblower. Since there is no problem with your bicycle, we will go back first." After saying that, Director Wang was thinking about leaving.

Just as Director Wang was about to leave, Xu Damao, who was watching the show in the crowd, stepped out and said, "Director Wang, the old man has said that whoever reports must provide evidence. Since there is no evidence, how can you just come here and wrongly accuse a good person!"

After a pause, Xu Damao continued, "Besides, Ren Shazhu is now the canteen director of the steel mill. In the final analysis, he is also the leader of the steel mill. If the report is untrue, it would be a false accusation against the leader."

Sha Zhu's eyes lit up and he said, "Yes, Director Wang, you must give me an explanation for this matter, otherwise I will tell Director Li of our steel rolling mill." After saying that, Sha Zhu looked at the neighbors in the courtyard. He wanted to see who had reported him.

Director Wang was in a difficult situation now, and finally had to ask a street office clerk to take out a letter of complaint from his bag and said, "He Yuzhu, this is the information of the reporter. There is no name on it and the handwriting is unrecognizable." After saying that, he gave the letter to Sha Zhu and left with his men.
