Siheyuan: Fighting against Japanese Aggression in Beijing

"Director Li, this time it all depends on you. Otherwise, I will definitely seek justice for myself." Li Kangri said in a timely manner.

"Haha, thank you for your kindness, brother. This idiot Zhu, eh! I also dislike him. If I can find someone to replace him, I will never say a word for him. Just wait and see, if the factory receives a report from the police station, Director Yang will definitely come to me to intervene. After all, on the surface, I recruited you, and they all think you are my man!" Li Huaide said helplessly.

"Okay, then I will entrust you, Director Li, to handle this matter with full authority. You have the final say on this matter." Li Kangri said.

"Okay, then you take a rest. Xu Damao, you stay here to accompany Xiao Li. I'm going back to the factory first!"

"Hey, Director Li, take care. Don't worry, Xiao Li and I are brothers!" Xu Damao agreed with a smile.

……

In the afternoon, Li Kangri completed the discharge procedures and went back to the courtyard with Xu Damao.

On the other hand, after investigation and visits, the police station restored the whole story of the incident, and a report was sent to the steel rolling mill.

After receiving the notification, Director Yang came to Li Huaide as he had guessed and asked him to protect Sha Zhu at all costs. So Li Huaide agreed reluctantly and went to the police station in person to communicate with Sha Zhu.

At the police station, Director Li and Zhang explained their purpose and met Sha Zhu as they wished.

Seeing Director Li coming to see him, Sha Zhu was overjoyed. He felt that the factory must be unable to do without him and sent Director Li to rescue him, so his attitude was very arrogant.

"Director Li, how come you are so free today? And you can even take the time to come here to see me?" Sha Zhu said proudly.

Seeing Sha Zhu's cocky look, Li Huaide's eyes were full of disgust, "Sha Zhu, what's your attitude? Don't you want to go out?"

"It doesn't matter. I'm tired. I'll take this opportunity to rest here for a while." Sha Zhu said nonchalantly.

Seeing that Sha Zhu was still like this, Li Huaide also got angry, "Damn it, without Zhang the butcher, do I have to eat hairy pigs? If not, I might as well go find a chef. I don't believe that Sijiu City is still short of chefs!" Li Huaide thought.

"Okay, you stay here and have a good rest. By the way, I want to inform you that since you have a criminal record, the steel mill may have fired you by the time you leave. Goodbye."

After saying this, Li Huaide, full of resentment, turned around and left the meeting room without hesitation.

"Director Li,...I...wait a minute..." Sha Zhu said in confusion.

At this moment, Sha Zhu was confused. Wasn't the script wrong? Shouldn't he beg me to go back humbly?

But before he could finish his words, Li Huaide had already left.

……

When Li Kangri and Xu Damao returned to the hospital, it was already after get off work in the afternoon. As soon as they entered the door, they saw that a large group of people had gathered in the central courtyard. Director Wang was standing in the middle of the courtyard and scolding!

"Ms. Jia Zhang, what do you want to do? Do you think you can keep that house? And Yi Zhonghai, how can you be a big boss? Do you still want to do it? It's shameful! You have embarrassed me, and I still praise you as an excellent courtyard house in front of others? I praise you all as enthusiastic and good neighbors?..." Director Wang scolded.

"Director Wang, I'm innocent! I didn't say anything. Don't you know me? I would never do anything to embarrass others. It was I who paid one dollar to ask the eldest son of the Yan family to send Xiao Li to the hospital! I just want peace in the yard." Yi Zhonghai said with a loyal face and an aggrieved look.

"I know this matter has nothing to do with you, but as a uncle you should be able to distinguish right from wrong. It is obvious that the Jia family wants to seize the house, and you should be fair. You can say it is a rental. Don't think I don't know what you are planning. They are a whole family, why should they rent it to you? Even if it is just one person, you need their consent." Director Wang scolded.

"Haha, Director Wang, the Jia family was a little hasty in this matter, and Jia's sister-in-law did scold them. So, when Xiao Li comes back, I will definitely ask her to apologize to him sincerely." Yi Zhonghai said in a conciliatory way.

"Apologize? She was insulting the orphans of martyrs. It won't be that easy to get away with it. Starting tomorrow, she will go to the street office to receive a week-long education. Also, she will be punished to sweep the street in front of your door for a month." Director Wang said.

Upon hearing Director Wang's punishment, Jia Zhang was extremely dissatisfied and wanted to stand up and object. However, Jia Dongxu, who had received instructions from Yi Zhonghai in advance, was pulling the corner of Jia Zhang's clothes tightly and constantly winking at her, which made Jia Zhang calm down temporarily.

"Director Wang's punishment is reasonable. I believe that sister-in-law Jia will definitely remember this lesson, haha, right Dongxu?" Yi Zhonghai said with a smile.

"Yes, my mother already knows she was wrong." Jia Dongxu cooperated loudly.

"Okay, it's good that you know you're wrong! Now let's talk about He Yuzhu's problem. He beat the orphans of martyrs for no reason. The police station has already informed the factory, and our street has also received a notice. He has been detained for 15 days and has a criminal record. He will probably be fired from the steel mill, so everyone should take this as a warning." Director Wang said.

"What? He will be detained for fifteen days? He will also be fired? Director Wang, isn't this a bit of an exaggeration? It's just a small conflict between neighbors, it shouldn't be that serious, right? Zhuzi only tried to stop them after seeing the two sides fighting, but he was just excited at the moment and couldn't stop himself." Yi Zhonghai said anxiously.

"Making a mountain out of a molehill? What are you thinking, Yi Zhonghai? Beating up the orphans of martyrs, is this a small matter? Come on, tell me what is a big deal? Murder and arson?" Director Wang said angrily.

"No, Director Wang, I said the wrong thing in a hurry. What I meant is not that serious! What will happen to his family if Zhuzi loses his job? He still has a younger sister who is still in school!" Yi Zhonghai immediately changed his words.

"I can't control this. As for what happens next, it depends on the attitude of your steel mill and Xiao Li. That's it. My responsibility is to manage the streets well. I don't care about other things."

After saying that, Director Wang turned around angrily and was about to leave, but he saw Li and Xu standing at the gate of the central courtyard.

"Is Xiao Li discharged from the hospital? Why don't you stay under observation for a while?" Director Wang immediately went up to him and asked with a smile.

"The doctor told me to go home and rest first, and just go to the hospital for a follow-up check on time. Besides, I have to go home to pick up my family. Director Wang, you don't know that there is a famine at home, and I'm afraid if I go too late, they will starve." Li Kangri said pitifully.

"That's right. Then you can go back and have a rest! I have already dealt with the Jia family. If they cause you trouble again in the future, just come to me." Director Wang said.

"Hey, thank you, Director Wang. You are so kind-hearted. Thank you. I think we are all neighbors. This is just a small matter and it will be over in the future!"

"What a generous and good child. He is indeed the orphan of a martyr. He is different. You should learn from him!" Director Wang said, looking back at everyone.
