He Yuzhu asked sternly: "Speak!"

Jia Zhang, who had prepared to have a big fight, was startled again by the sudden shout! She forgot all the words she had prepared, and she didn't expect him to be so tough all of a sudden. She looked at He Yuzhu with anger in her tone: "Why are you so nervous and yelling? Do you want to scare someone to death?"

The onlookers couldn't help laughing when they saw this scene, and a burst of laughter followed: "Hahaha...", "Hahaha..."

The laughter made Jia Zhang even more anxious. She didn't understand why everyone was laughing. She tried to organize her words again, but found that she was speechless again. In desperation, she chose another way:

"Oh my God, there is no justice in the world. Even an old woman like me is bullied by you. You bully a lonely widow like me. The world is going downhill!" She simply sat on the ground, slapped her thighs with her hands and began to wail. Faced with this situation, He Yuzhu said calmly:

"You can continue crying here if you want. I'm leaving!"

After saying this, he was about to leave. Seeing that He Yuzhu was about to go far away, Jia Zhangshi would never let him leave like this. She quickly grabbed his arm and shouted, "You are not allowed to leave!"

He Yuzhu frowned and warned in a cold voice: "Let go!"

Feeling threatened, Jia Zhang subconsciously let go. At this time, He Yuzhu asked calmly: "What does my relationship with the Jia family have?"

Jia Zhang knew that if she didn't speak up, He Yuzhu would definitely leave her, so she asked anxiously:

"You are such a heartless person. We were neighbors in the past, but now that you have become successful, you no longer recognize your poor neighbors and you don't care about them when they are in trouble!"

In this regard, He Yuzhu did not make any excuses and said directly:

"Ms. Jia Zhang, you should understand that the house was where everyone moved in after the peaceful liberation of the imperial capital in 1949. Before that, it belonged to someone else. Since my father left in the winter of 1950, I have hardly been back. We only lived together for three years. We are neither relatives nor friends. We all relied on our own efforts. When I walked out of that courtyard, I was only fifteen years old. How could I have any feelings for your family? Since we have no friendship, what obligation do neighbors have to help each other? I don't owe your family anything. Even if your family encounters something, what does it have to do with me? Whether I become successful or not, it has nothing to do with you."

After hearing this, everyone felt that He Yuzhu was a bit cold and heartless, but after thinking deeply, they felt that what he said made sense. A fifteen-year-old struggles alone and no longer has contact with his original residence. Moreover, at that time, everyone was still temporary neighbors, not familiar with each other, and had little contact. Especially after the end of the military control period, when the neighbors took over each other, before knowing that the other party was not a suspicious element, the residents remained highly vigilant and only responded politely on the surface. At that time, it was during the military control period, and people's attitude towards neighborhood relations was even weaker. Therefore, everyone can understand why He Yuzhu felt that there was no real connection between him and Jia Zhangshi.

Hearing everyone's silence, Jia Zhang shouted loudly: "Why do I care so much about you? You are rich and powerful now. My family is in trouble. Who else can I turn to except you?"

After hearing this, everyone immediately realized that she was actually asking for help. However, everyone was also very surprised because they had never seen such a way of asking for help.

There are all kinds of weird people! He Yuzhu said coldly:

"Ms. Jia Zhang, I don't owe you any favors. I've already told you before that no matter how bad your family's life is, even if it's a complete failure, it has nothing to do with me. Get away from me!"

After hearing this, Jia Zhang never expected He Yuzhu to be so heartless. She pointed at He Yuzhu and said indignantly:

"How can you be so cold-blooded!" He Yuzhu responded with a smile:

"Oh, you come to criticize me without even knowing what morality is? You need to take a lesson on what it means to be cruel. I just don't want to get involved in your family's affairs. There were many people in that yard who didn't have work to do. How could I manage them all?"

Jia Zhang was shocked by He Yuzhu's words and wondered why others believed what Yi Zhonghai said, but what she said was another matter. Then, she imitated Yi Zhonghai's tone:

"How could you do this? Do you have a sense of teamwork? Do you have a sense of teamwork?" However, before Jia Zhang finished speaking, He Yuzhu interrupted:

"Old lady, are you confused? First of all, I have not lived in your courtyard for a long time. I have moved out since the winter of 1950, and I only go back to visit occasionally. That's because the house in the courtyard was purchased by my father, and now private transactions of real estate are not allowed, so the house can only be rented out. I am not a member of your courtyard.

Besides, you shouldn't talk to me about collective things. We have no intersection at all. I have my own circle of neighbors now, and we get along well with each other. "

Faced with He Yuzhu's firm response, Jia Zhang was at a loss for words and full of confusion: What should he do and how should he refute it in a way that would make sense?

As she was thinking, an idea suddenly occurred to her, and she continued:

"Well, although you left our yard, you are still Banggeng's uncle after all, and he has always called you..." At this time, He Yuzhu immediately interrupted her:

"Stop! When I left, your son had not yet married. I attended his wedding banquet, but as for your grandson, I have met him only a few times, and we are not as close as you said.

If you really dare to slander me, you should think twice before you act. I advise you to be careful! Don’t let Yan Bugui’s experience become a warning to others.”

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, Jia Zhang realized that Yan Bugui had been imprisoned for half a year because of this. If she made up a lie without any reason, once He Yuzhu retaliated and accused her of slander or malicious defamation, she would not be able to escape punishment. Thinking of this, she could only say weakly:

"That's true. You haven't met them, so they are not necessarily that close. But no matter what, you should call Jia Dongxu brother."

In this case, as Bang Geng's uncle, you can't just ignore it when Bang Geng gets into trouble!" After hearing Jia Zhang's words, the others burst into laughter before they could react.

He Yuzhu had never encountered such a strange thing. She had never met Banggeng before, but she kept calling him "uncle" and insisted on asking him to take care of this matter? Almost everyone in the entire steel rolling mill knew about Banggeng. In this era of lack of entertainment, as long as there is a little news, it will spread all over the streets and alleys quickly. Therefore, everyone is naturally familiar with the Banggeng story mentioned by Jia Zhang!

It turned out that Jia Zhang was making such a fuss because of this matter. Yesterday, Qin Huairu also found He Yuzhu for the same matter. However, He Yuzhu rejected Qin Huairu at that time. Unexpectedly, Qin Huairu's mother-in-law also came to make trouble for this matter. Facing Jia Zhang, He Yuzhu said:

"Ms. Jia Zhang, I know your intentions, but I believe you know how Banggeng got on this path, which is unclear to outsiders. When Jia Dongxu was alive, he was such an upright person.

No matter how difficult life was, he never committed any petty theft. And now, the reason why Banggeng has become such a scum is entirely due to your "teaching".

Although I haven't been to your house many times, every time I went there, I heard you praising Banggeng for his clever stealing skills.

I heard that his first crime was that he intercepted someone on the road and robbed him. The three orphans adopted by Yi Zhonghai couldn't stand it anymore and called the police.

Later, out of consideration for the relationship between neighbors, Yi Zhonghai wrote a letter of appeal, and Banggeng was released. But less than three days after his release, he relapsed and was locked up again.

Although Bang Geng is a child, who is to blame for his bad behavior? How dare you come to trouble me?

If I were you, I would have no face to live in this world - my only child has been harmed by you like this!"

Hearing He Yuzhu's almost scolding words, Jia Zhang felt unable to respond, because she knew that these descriptions of Bang Geng were roughly true. More importantly, Jia Zhang understood that most of the time she was the one who covered up for Bang Geng after he committed a crime, and even boasted about his ** behavior. It was her connivance that ultimately led to Bang Geng's current fate.

In this era, the legal provisions may be severe, but human considerations still exist. If there is no serious subjective evil intention, a lighter sentence will usually be given. Like Yan Bugui, he could avoid heavier punishment only if he confessed extremely before the trial and expressed his attitude of serving the country; Jia Zhangshi did not know the fact that He Yuzhu belonged to a confidential unit, and she compared his expenses with his income level, so she decided to report him. Later, it was found that He Yuzhu had the ability to make vehicles by himself, and he showed a sincere apology. Under the supervision of Guo Kaijiang, he was only sentenced to half a year. On the contrary, if Yan Bugui was as stubborn as Banggeng, it is estimated that he would have to be sentenced to at least three to five years. Because the purpose of dealing with certain criminals in that era was more to establish legal authority and educational effects, especially for those obvious typical cases.

Banggeng is such a typical negative example and was eventually sentenced to ten years in prison.

After listening for a long time, Jia Zhang finally couldn't help but say, "How can you be so concerned about a child?"

When these words came out, not only was He Yuzhu shocked, he immediately questioned Jia Zhang:

"I say, Jia Zhang, I told you before that there was something wrong with your brain, but you really didn't believe it. When did I ever plot against your grandson Bang Geng? What does all this have to do with me?

First, we met only a few times;

Secondly, I did not impart any bad habits to him;

Again, it was someone else who was robbed, not me;

Also, I was not the one who lost the property;

Besides, his going down the path of crime was not due to my instigation;

The most important thing is that it is the court that brings him to justice. What does it have to do with me?

Doesn't your groundless accusation prove that you are the one who is completely confused?"
