Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 829: Further Discussion
In fact, Director Li, Qi Dasheng and Director Wang came to visit Wang Zhan and He Yushui on purpose, and also asked them how they did in the exam and which school they applied to.
I didn't expect that the neighbors from No. 95 Yard would come together to hold us accountable. What a coincidence.

The three of them ignored those people and followed Wang Zhan into the yard. This scene happened to be seen by Yi Zhonghai who was left behind. Yi Zhonghai frowned and walked slowly towards his home thoughtfully.

Wang Zhan led the three people to the main hall in the backyard and called He Yushui to make tea. He Yushui then came out of her room and asked Wang Zhan in a low voice whether those people had left. Seeing Wang Zhan nod, He Yushui breathed a sigh of relief and skipped to make tea.

Wang Li followed her brother to the main room. As soon as she entered, she greeted the three people and asked them why they had not come back for so long. She missed them, which made the three people laugh.

Director Li looked at Wang Zhan and said with a smile, "Do you still have doubts in your mind as to why we didn't investigate their robbery?"

Wang Zhan nodded, and Chief Li smiled and said, "You, you know you have a problem. They are just kids. Besides, they attempted robbery and were beaten into the hospital by you guys. Even if we catch them, we will only detain them for three to five days, and we will have to feed them. Our police station will have to pay more. So, when we encounter this kind of thing, we educate them and send them home directly to save money on food."

Wang Zhan's eyes widened and he said, "Who came up with this bad idea? What if they do it again?"

"This is a bad idea from your master. No matter what crime it is, you either have to pay for the meal or send him away directly after the interrogation without any food. You don't know how expensive firewood and rice are until you run the household. Our station is also poor." Qi Dasheng said as he lit a cigarette.

Wang Zhan said disdainfully: "Master, this is a bad idea. It's easy for some people to slip through the net. If you think it's a waste of food, you can ask them to do some work instead of others, such as sending them to Director Wang for voluntary labor. I think the subdistrict office can still afford the food. Otherwise, you can hire people to do the work and pay them. That's great."

When the three heard this, their eyes lit up. This was a great idea. There were countless cases where people were not eligible for sentencing, and the police station was not a detention center, so they released people after three to five days. Some were sent back after a brief education. It was not that they did not want to detain people, but that the police station really had no space. There were only two prisons, one for men and one for women, and each could hold about ten people.

Wang Zhan's idea is very good. Let them do voluntary labor during the day and solve the problems of the street office. At night, they can go home and have a meal of cornmeal porridge, steamed buns and pickles for lunch. Both parties will benefit from this.

Director Li looked at Director Wang and asked, "Director Wang, what do you think of this idea?"

"It's a good idea. The street office will get the benefit anyway. There's a lot of work to do, such as clearing sewers, cleaning garbage, and sweeping the streets. I was wondering who to find to do it. Whoever we find will have to be paid. This way we can save a lot of money." Director Wang said happily.

Qi Dasheng also nodded and said, "My disciple has a lot of ideas. You can ask him more questions in the future."

Wang Zhan rolled his eyes, and then the three of them asked him and He Yushui, who brought the tea, how they did in the exam.
Wang Zhan recounted what happened in the cafeteria. He Yushui was confused. If she had known earlier, she would have gone to the cafeteria to help earlier. But He Yushui also said that she did well in the exam and performed beyond her expectations.

After saying this, he secretly glanced at Director Wang. Director Wang was puzzled, so he asked He Yushui, "What's the problem?"

He Yushui said embarrassedly: "The title of our composition is a certain person, Aunt Wang, please don't be angry when I tell you that I am writing about the person who helped me the most. I wrote about you."

Director Wang was surprised at first, then laughed and said, "I didn't expect you to write about me. I have to appreciate your composition. I need to collect my living allowance tomorrow. Please write it down and bring it to me."

Seeing that Director Wang was not angry, He Yushui happily agreed. The three of them stayed in the evening. Qi Dasheng cooked a sumptuous dinner to reward the two candidates. Courtyard No. 95, the main hall of Yi Zhonghai's home.

Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui were drinking at the square table. The three of them got together to discuss Yan Jiecheng's matter.

Yan Bugui was unwilling to give up. Yan Jiecheng was taken to the hospital and spent more than 20 yuan. The doctor originally suggested hospitalization so that he would get better faster. However, Yan Bugui said he would not do anything because hospitalization also cost money. So the doctor just prescribed some medicine and brought Yan Jiecheng back in the evening.

Liu Haizhong happened to see it, and after hearing what Yan Bugui said, he also went to the hospital, brought Liu Guangtian back, threw a pile of ointment to the little Liu Guangfu, and left him alone.

However, all the expenses before this were paid by themselves, and they were unwilling to just accept it, so they went to find Yi Zhonghai. Yan Bugui also brought a bottle of wine, and Liu Haizhong brought a plate of scrambled eggs and a plate of peanuts.

Yi Zhonghai was generous for once and asked Li Cuilan to buy roast chicken and pork head. He had two bottles of Erguotou at home, so he started drinking.

Yan Bugui took a sip of wine, sighed and said, "This is really a case of misfortune coming from the sky. I wasted twenty-five dollars. No matter how you calculate it, it shouldn't be my own money."

Liu Haizhong lit a cigarette and said, "Yeah, I think so too, Lao Yi, you have a lot of ideas, analyze them for me."

Yi Zhonghai raised his glass and clinked it with the two men, took a sip, picked up a piece of pork head, put it in his mouth, and said after he finished eating: "I thought about it today. Director Wang, Director Li and Deputy Director Qi must have a special relationship with Wang Zhan."

Liu Haizhong didn't understand, and after thinking for a while he said, "They are just relatives of martyrs, it's normal to know each other."

Yi Zhonghai shook his head and lit a cigarette. Yan Bugui was deep in thought, and suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "I was wondering why Deputy Director Qi looked so familiar when he came last time. He is Wang Zhan's master. I didn't expect that he went to the police station."

Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong looked at each other, and Yi Zhonghai said, "That makes sense. You don't know, after we left, I secretly took a look, and when they saw us leaving, they followed Wang Zhan into the yard."

Yan Bugui sighed and said, "Wang Zhan has a very powerful background, otherwise he wouldn't be able to live in a two-story courtyard with his sister alone."

Yi Zhonghai seemed to remember something. He looked back at the bedroom and was about to call Li Cuilan when he remembered that his wife had gone to the old lady in the backyard.

Yi Zhonghai said, "I also remember that when Director Wang was still in the Military Control Commission, he asked my wife to be a nanny for two days. It was Wang Zhan's family. Later, I messed it up. By the way, Old Yan, was it their family that got you into trouble that time?"

Yan Bugui recalled the unbearable past, nodded helplessly, and said: "It's their family, but it has nothing to do with Wang Zhan. It's someone from the army who is causing trouble for me."
