Movie Variety Show: Starting from a New World

As Zhao Cheng expected, from the next day on, the Jia Zhang family in the courtyard of No. 95 Nanluoguxiang became famous.

"What a selfish Jia Zhang, not caring about her own children and grandchildren!"

"What about the family war that was caused by Jia Zhang stealing the pig's head?"

"Why did Jia Zhang secretly eat the pig's head? Was it because of her son's unfilial behavior? Or was it because of her daughter-in-law's abuse?"

Anyway, all kinds of messy remarks filled the entire Nanluoguxiang.

As her reputation grew, Jia Zhang now dared not even leave the house. Whenever she went out, people would point fingers at her.

Not only Jia Zhang, but even Jia Dongxu and Wang Yuzhi couldn't escape. They were pointed at and talked about whenever they went out.

However, the two of them are victims after all, so the rumors they spread are not too excessive.

"What should I do? People talk about me even when I go to the toilet. Is it really because I secretly ate a few meals of pig's head that I will be criticized by everyone? This is unfair! God is unfair!" Jia Zhang thought secretly.

In the afternoon, this information was passed to government agencies at all levels.

This was a big deal. The street office was alarmed. Director Wang got furious in the office after hearing the news.

"How do you manage it? Huh? How come such a small thing caused such a stir in the city? What's going on with that Jia Zhang?" Director Wang pointed at the grid leader and cursed.

"Director, this Jia Zhang is usually lazy and gluttonous. She is only in her forties but she always regards herself as an old person. Now she has a daughter-in-law and grandson, but she is unwilling to do housework and is always swearing. This time, it was because her daughter-in-law saw her buying braised meat and eating it secretly. Upon inquiry, it turned out that she has been doing this for several years! And she always eats it secretly and has never brought it home for her family to eat! So the daughter-in-law fought with her!" The grid leader also felt wronged.

He usually handles his own affairs, but how can he deal with such an old hag stealing the food he bought?

"Go and notify everyone in Courtyard 95 tonight to hold a general meeting! We really need to teach this Jia Zhang a lesson. She only thinks about eating for herself and is unwilling to contribute to her children and grandchildren. And she still wants to be an elder and an old person? Does she have the qualifications? She must be dealt with seriously!" Director Wang paced in the office during the meeting, thinking about what to do.

"So, isn't Jia Zhang a glutton? Then arrange for her to return to her hometown and send her to feed pigs! I will let her steal food!" Director Wang was also furious. The main thing was that there was nothing else about this matter, but the main thing was that the reputation was too bad. In this era, unity and reputation are important.

But Jia Zhangshi didn't commit any crime in this matter, she was just a little selfish. Her mistake was that she didn't even care about her own children and grandchildren. This is obviously morally corrupt! What's more, she always pretends to be an elder and an old person, clamoring that she should enjoy herself when she is old!

"Okay, Director Wang, I'll go over and notify them now. What time should we go to the compound?" said the grid leader.

"Six o'clock in the evening! By this time, most people have returned from get off work and have finished their meals. It's a time when they have nothing to do!" said Director Wang.

"Okay!" The grid leader said and walked out to inform Courtyard 95 about the whole courtyard meeting.

"Oh, Director Li, you're here!" Yan Fugui's wife was the first to see the grid leader coming.

"Sister-in-law Yan, you're here just in time. I want to inform you that Director Wang of the street office requires everyone in your compound to gather in the front yard at six o'clock tonight. We are going to hold a general meeting for all of Courtyard No. 95!" The grid leader said to Yan Fugui's wife.

"Ah? A meeting of the whole hospital? I have to attend it? Can you tell me what it is?" Yan Fugui's wife was also surprised.

Because there was no system of "managing uncles," this was the first time No. 95 Courtyard had heard of the term "courtyard-wide meeting." And it was organized by the neighborhood committee. That must be a big deal.

"Oh, it's about the Jia Zhang family's matter! This matter has caused a sensation in the city now, and the street has already known about it, so Director Wang is holding this whole hospital meeting! It is to solve this matter!" said the grid leader.

His expression was a bit grim, though. After all, this was within the grid he managed, and it was the first time he'd held a general meeting for something like this. He also felt like he'd been slapped in the face.

"Okay, I will definitely notify them. When people come back at six o'clock tonight, I will let everyone get ready!" Yan Fugui's wife could only agree with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll go back. After all, we still have to go and look after the steel furnace!" Director Li said and left.

After Yan Fugui's wife saw Director Li off, she returned to the courtyard and told the news to several women comrades who stayed in the courtyard to look after the children.

When everyone heard what Yan Fugui's wife said, they all felt that Jia Zhang was probably in trouble this time, after all, this matter had alarmed the streets.

"Where do you think Jia Zhang got the money to buy the pig's head?" a woman asked curiously.

"Where else could it come from? It must be Old Jia's pension! Otherwise, where else could an old woman like her get the money? She's so lazy and greedy, how could she go out and work for herself?" another woman said contemptuously.

"That's not necessarily true. Doesn't Jia Zhang sew her own shoe soles? Maybe she really earned it herself. After all, she said that she had given all the pensions to Wang Yuzhi!" said Yan Fugui's wife.

"Mr. Yan, you don't know that the soles of Jia Zhang's shoes are already patinated. She is just using that as a cover. Whenever Yuzhi asks her to do something, she will pretend to do it. She will only do the work when she can't deny it anymore!" said an aunt who lives in the middle courtyard.

When Yan Fugui's wife heard that Jia Zhang had such an operation, she felt that she had learned something. It turns out that work can be done this way!

After Zhao Cheng arrived at the unit and sat down for a while, instructor Zheng Cai came to Zhao Cheng's office.

"Old Zhao, I heard that you live in No. 95 Nanluoguxiang, is that right?" Zheng Cai asked curiously.

"Yes, what's wrong?" Zhao Cheng looked at Zheng Cai in confusion.

"On my way here today, I heard that there was an old man in Courtyard No. 95 who didn't care about the lives of his children and grandchildren and only cared about his own enjoyment? Is he from your courtyard?" Zheng Cai said in a low voice.

"No, isn't the news spreading too fast? You even heard about it in Xicheng District?" Zhao Cheng felt that there were no mobile phones in those days, so how could such news spread so quickly?

"It seems that he is really from your courtyard? Tell me quickly, what's going on? I heard those people chattering on and on, but they can't explain it clearly! You live in that courtyard, so you must know the details. Tell me quickly!" Zheng Cai looked like a curious baby, which made Zhao Cheng laugh and cry.

"Hey, Old Zheng, you're such a grown man, why are you so interested in neighborhood gossip?"

"Oh, aren't you bored? Tell me what's going on!" Old Zheng didn't care about Zhao Cheng's teasing and asked quickly.

"Okay, let me tell you, this is actually not a big deal. It's about the old widow of the Jia family in our Central Courtyard..." Zhao Cheng told Zheng Cai about this.
