The Red Era: The Crowd in the Siheyuan

Chapter 467 Their own plans

"Zhu Zi, Aunt Zhang doesn't want much either.
Liu Haizhong beat our son Bang Geng so hard that he was hospitalized. Just ask him to pay 100 yuan and apologize to me. "

Although everyone wanted to teach Liu Haizhong a lesson,
But when the neighbors heard Jia Zhang ask for 100 yuan right away, they still felt it was a bit outrageous.

In this era when the average wage of urban workers is only 30 yuan, this 100 yuan is more than three months' wages for most of the neighbors. Apart from food, drink, defecation, urination and sleep, it takes more than one or two years to save up.
Even if Liu Haizhong's salary is much higher than theirs, he can afford this money.

However, the neighbors were not happy that Jia Zhang received so much money all of a sudden for no reason.
Some people even had the outrageous idea that the child who was hit in the bangs last night was not our child.

The only one in the crowd who had a different opinion from the neighbors was Qin Jingru.

Qin Jingru was so excited when she heard that Jia Zhang asked for 100 yuan. She thought that since Jia Zhang dared to ask for this, it meant that the Liu family could definitely afford it.

If she married Liu Guangtian, she would definitely get a lot of profits, and then she would be rich.

You know, in the countryside now, people pay attention to collective labor and earning work points. If you can earn 10 yuan a year, you are a hard-working person.
Even more people will suffer from famine throughout the year.

Thinking of this, Qin Jingru was more or less grateful to He Yuzhu for telling her about the Liu family, otherwise she would not have been able to get in touch with Liu Guangtian so quickly.

Standing behind the table, He Yuzhu could see the expressions of his neighbors and knew what they were struggling with.
In the words of later generations,
That is, you are afraid that your brothers are having a hard life, and you are also afraid that your brothers are driving a Land Rover. The mentality is the same.

He Yuzhu had nothing to say about this, so he smiled and looked at the other party.

"Uncle Liu, Aunt Zhang wants to ask you for 100 yuan for the medicine. If you have anything to say, please speak up and we can discuss it together."

Liu Haizhong actually wanted to speak up a long time ago, but he was the target of criticism today, and he knew that if he jumped out in a hurry, he would definitely get into trouble.

Besides, he knew these neighbors too well and knew what kind of people they were.

Seeing that Jia Zhang was asking for such a huge sum, he was not panicked at all, because he knew that these neighbors would definitely not let Jia Zhang get what she wanted.

But he didn't just sit there and wait, otherwise he would have become a sucker.

Seeing He Yuzhu asking, he naturally disagreed.
"Zhuzi, Sister Zhang is taking advantage of me. I just heard from Xu Damao that their son Banggeng just had a concussion and will be fine after a few days of observation in the hospital.
She dared to extort 100 yuan from me. Is her grandson so precious?

Anyway, I can't agree to this, and I won't let you embarrass Zhuzi. At worst, we can go to the street office and the police station and let Director Wang and Director Zhang solve this matter.
I don't believe there is no law in this world, and that Sister Zhang can do whatever she wants."

Seeing that Liu Haizhong disagreed,
He Yuzhu didn't even need to say anything, Jia Zhang was the first to start shouting loudly,

"Liu Haizhong, you son of a bitch, you beat our Bang Geng so hard that he had to be hospitalized, why don't you agree? He is the only child in our Jia family, if anything happens to him, can you afford the compensation?
What's wrong with asking you for 100 yuan? Shouldn't you pay for it?"

Liu Haizhong knew that the reason Jia Zhangshi was able to survive these years was because of her eldest grandson Banggeng'er.

Otherwise, he would have followed Jia Dongxu long ago.

But even though she knew it, it was not a reason for Jia Zhang to extort so much money from her. After all, she would not accept her grandson.

However, Liu Haizhong also knew that he couldn't reach an agreement with Jia Zhang, so he looked directly at He Yuzhu and said, "Zhuzi, it seems that I can't reach an agreement with Mrs. Zhang either.

Or you should say it. You are a cadre, and we must accept what you say. No matter how wrong everyone is, what you say is wrong. "

He Yuzhu was not used to being used as a gun by others, so he naturally could not agree to Liu Haizhong's proposal. Before the neighbors had a chance to speak, he waved his hand and interrupted them directly.

"Uncle Liu, that's not what I meant. We are neighbors. What you said makes it seem like I am using my power to bully others.

Let me make it clear first,
We can discuss it, but this is still your two families' business, and you both need to reach a consensus.
If we cannot reach an agreement in the end, we will invite Director Wang of the Subdistrict Office and Director Zhang of the Police Station to come and have them coordinate with the relevant departments.

If even the street office and the police station can't help, then you can still file a lawsuit.

In short, the purpose of our meeting today is to mediate disputes between neighbors. It would be best if it can be resolved, but if it cannot be resolved, there is nothing we can do.

As for what you said about me making the final decision, it is definitely not appropriate. If you are not satisfied, you will blame me!"

Seeing that He Yuzhu refused to make a decision, Liu Haizhong had no choice but to face Jia Zhang again.
"Mrs. Zhang, 100 yuan is impossible.
For your Banggeng, I will give you 5 dollars at most. If you want it, take it. If you don’t want it, forget it.”

After speaking to Jia Zhang, Liu Haizhong looked at his neighbors again.
"Is it more than that? It's just 5 dollars. Neighbors, you can vote by raising your hands now."

If Jia Zhang asked Liu Haizhong to pay 100 yuan, the neighbors would think it was a bit outrageous, then Liu Haizhong's request of 5 yuan was more reasonable.

In the first episode of the TV series, Qin Huairu said that 5 yuan was enough for a month's food for her family of two.
Liu Haizhong is willing to pay 5 yuan as compensation, which shows his sincerity.

Everything was fine at first, but what was unfortunate was that Qin Jingru was the first to jump out and agree.

Just as Liu Haizhong finished speaking,

She raised her hands high, as if she was afraid that her future husband couldn't see her.

This really angered Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu.

"Qin Jingru, you little ungrateful bastard, you came to my house to eat and drink my food, how could I have ever let you down, but now you are the first one to turn against me.

You are like this even though you haven't done anything with the Liu family. If you really have something with Liu Guangtian, you will have to sell us to the Liu family.

Liu Haizhong, let me tell you, if you want to settle the matter with 5 yuan, it’s impossible.”

Qin Jingru's actions and Jia Zhang's angry scolding made Liu Haizhong's teeth hurt. He thought to himself, "I have nothing to do with the internal strife of the Jia family. Why should I take the blame?"
But toothache is toothache.
But in Liu Haizhong's heart, he no longer hated Qin Jingru so much.

But the most important thing now is not Qin Jingru, but to deal with Jia Zhangshi, so she can only be sacrificed.
"What are you talking about, Sister Zhang?

Qin Jingru is not even a resident of our courtyard, so how can her raising her hand count?
Let's take over her matter first. Let's vote and finish the matter quickly. Everyone is waiting to go out and celebrate the New Year after the meeting.
Let’s not waste our neighbors’ time.”
