Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 655 Come to the door
Old Yao knows why everyone cares so much about this. At least one child in these families is temporarily unemployed. If it's a girl, it's okay, but if it's a boy, without a job, he can't even find a wife.

Moreover, boys who stay at home all the time are more likely to cause trouble.

Yesterday, several young men in their early twenties from the nearby alleys were taken away by the police for fighting.

These young people are full of energy. They don't have jobs, so they can't just stay at home all day long. Not to mention whether they can stay there, after a while, their homes will become unsightly.

There was no other way but to go out and wander around aimlessly. Wandering alone is so boring, so I called up some brothers who were also unemployed to go with me.

Young men often brag and joke around when they get together, and over time, verbal conflicts are inevitable. They are all hot-blooded and unwilling to back down. When they can't win an argument, they naturally resort to physical violence.

Everyone has people they get along with, and of course, people they don't like. What started as a fight between two people can quickly escalate into a fight between a group.

Not only that, but people from the compound also look down on these alleyway folks, and all sorts of conflicts often occur between the two sides.

The social security environment has been thrown into chaos by a group of people like this.

This joint operation is mainly targeting these people to rectify the social security environment in Beijing. The reason for making it a joint operation by multiple departments is mainly because some people who have already gained influence must have someone supporting them behind the scenes.

Once a lead is obtained, the police will transfer it to the supervisory commission, which will then investigate. For some people, the supervisory commission has a greater deterrent effect than the police.

It's precisely because someone was arrested yesterday that these parents know their own children's situation. They know those brats are not learning good things outside and are always fighting and causing trouble. They are also afraid that their children will be arrested, so they are eager to find a job for their children.

Once they have jobs, they won't wander around aimlessly all day. If they don't wander around aimlessly, they'll have far fewer opportunities to cause trouble.

Now, when Lao Yao mentions that Li Yancheng's biological family is also going to build a factory, some people's eyes are already lighting up.

Those who shone brightly all thought they could still talk to Li Yancheng, like that old Chang.

In his opinion, the man was a classmate of his eldest son, and he always addressed him politely as "Uncle" whenever they met, so he shouldn't refuse such a small thing.

Old Chang was worried about his youngest son, who was already a 25-year-old young man. After returning from the countryside at the beginning of last year, he had nothing to do all day long. He spent his days eating and sleeping at home, or going out to hang out with his group of fellow educated youth who had been sent to the countryside with him.

He was young once too, and during the war years, he knew all too well what might happen when a group of energetic, penniless young people got together.

Among the people arrested near his home yesterday were two who often played with his youngest son.

At that time, his youngest son hadn't left the house yet. When they heard someone outside shouting that the police were coming to arrest people, the whole family went out to see what was going on, not knowing what had happened.

When he saw who had been arrested and heard the police explain why they were arresting those people, he saw it all clearly, and his youngest son's face turned extremely pale.

The change in his youngest son's expression made Lao Chang's heart sink.

After returning home, under his repeated questioning, his youngest son finally told him the truth.

Fighting and brawling are the least of their problems. That group of people even committed robbery together. Not only did they rob someone, but they also beat him up, and apparently, he was seriously injured.

This is a serious crime!
Old Chang's legs went weak, and he hurriedly asked his youngest son if he had also participated.

His youngest son repeatedly swore to him that he was not involved in the robbery and only heard about it afterward, which put his mind at ease a little.

My mind is at ease for now, but finding this kid a job can't be put off any longer.

He realized that waiting for the government to arrange a job would take forever, and if the kid continued to do nothing, he would inevitably run into trouble sooner or later.

Old Chang came out early this morning, hoping to find a way to make a living for his youngest son, even if it was just a temporary job.

The Chang family is just one example; there are many families like theirs throughout the city and even the whole country. The number of people sent to the countryside is enormous.

After returning to the city, at most half of them actually have a job, including those who take over their elders' jobs; the rest are left with nothing to do.

Staying at home for too long will make people and dogs dislike you. You'll be sponging off your parents every day. They're all grown up; even they themselves will feel uncomfortable.

During this period, Li Yancheng suggested launching a major campaign to improve public security in Beijing. His aim was to take advantage of the current relatively calm state of affairs to crack down on the growing disorder and prevent it from escalating further, thus necessitating severe measures in the future.

Although the scope of this operation is limited to Beijing, it is, after all, the political and cultural center of the country. If this operation achieves the expected results, the headquarters will definitely instruct other provinces and cities to follow suit. Even if the headquarters does not say anything, leaders in other places will take the initiative to ask their local public security departments to start taking action after seeing the results achieved here.

What he wanted to do was to subtly guide some changes.

The arrest that happened near his home was something Li Yancheng heard about from his wife when he returned home last night. She said that someone had come to his door before he even got home in the afternoon, and the meaning was self-evident.

Luo Min managed to get rid of him at the time, but he figured someone else would definitely come looking for him.

Li Yancheng's guess was correct. Sure enough, he was eating when Guan Weidong came over to report that a man named Qiao Guangshan had come looking for him.

"He came yesterday afternoon. After he left, I went out to inquire and found out that his fourth son was arrested by the Chengdong Branch at noon."

The police officers who arrested him said at the scene that he was involved in an armed robbery case.

Upon hearing Guan Weidong say that the visitor was Qiao Guangshan, Luo Min began to introduce him.

Armed robbery?

Li Yancheng, who had just taken a bite of the steamed bun, stopped in his tracks upon hearing this.

Good guy!
He really wanted to shout, "Wow!"

He knew that there was a group of young men who had returned from the countryside and started hanging out with the underworld because they had nothing to do. He thought that it was already a big deal for these guys to get involved in a fight, but he never expected that there would be people who actually did this. They were practically asking for death.

Given all this, what does it mean that Old Joe came to see him?
Do you expect him to make an exception and help get the person out? What a joke!

After swallowing the bun in his mouth, he picked up the bowl of porridge in front of him, took a sip, put the bowl down, and stood up. "You guys keep eating, I'll go see what's going on."

"This guy is really something, he always has to come during mealtime. Da Cheng, make him wait. You can go after you finish eating. His son did something illegal, what does he mean by coming to you?"
"Let me tell you, Da Cheng, no matter what the relationship is, we can't do anything illegal or disorderly."

"Old Master Cheng said with a frown."

Upon hearing this, Li Yancheng, who was about to leave, stopped and said with a smile, "Grandpa, you eat first. I'll go and send him away. It'll be quick. Breaking the law? Hehe, don't worry. I not only value my life, but I also cherish my political life. I definitely won't do such things."

Cherishing life?

Hearing the word come from her man's mouth, Luo Min rolled her eyes without making a sound and pursed her lips.

She found it somewhat ridiculous. Who would risk their life by charging at a criminal with a weapon in their hand? On the contrary, she often heard her husband, his second brother, Su Xiaotong, and several other close friends chatting and complaining that he was born too late, that he missed the day, the crossing of the Yangtze River, and the fight against the Ugly Americans.

Listen to this: a bunch of guys who complain all day that they were born too late and couldn't personally go to the battlefield to fight the enemy, and they think they cherish their lives?
Haha, why doesn't she believe it?

She might think about it, but she had no interest in contradicting her man in front of outsiders, even if those outsiders were his family.

For Luo Min now, only her husband and she are her true family. Even her two children are just passersby in her life for a period of time.

When her two children grow up, one will get married and the other will remarry, and they will both start their own families. The only person who can walk hand in hand with her through life is this man named Li Yancheng.

Therefore, as long as there are other people present, she would never contradict her man's pride. As for when it's just the two of them, that's not called being dissenting, that's called creating romance.

On the other side, Li Yancheng had already reached the front yard, and the half-eaten bun he hadn't put down earlier had been stuffed into his mouth and swallowed.

Qiao Guangshan had already been invited to the reception room in the front yard by Guan Weidong, who also poured him a glass of water.

Old Qiao couldn't sit still at all. Ever since the police took his fourth son away from his home yesterday at noon, he had been in a daze.

What did the police who came to arrest his son say yesterday?

Oh, he's been involved in multiple fights and brawls, and even an armed robbery. How... how is that possible?!
In Old Joe's eyes, although his fourth son spends all his time wandering around with a group of unemployed young people, he is still a very well-behaved child.

Arguing with someone is possible, but fighting? He didn't believe his son would fight with a group of people, let alone commit armed robbery.

He felt that the police must have wronged his son.

Yesterday, after his fourth son was arrested, he went to the local police station to ask about it. However, the officers there told him that it wasn't them who arrested his son, but the criminal investigation team from the branch bureau.

He was also told that the branch criminal investigation team wouldn't arrest people randomly; it must be because someone reported them or they found some clues.

What the police officer from the local police station said made Lao Qiao's heart tremble involuntarily.

But he still couldn't believe his son could do such a thing, so he decided to go to the East Branch of the Public Security Bureau.

Upon hearing that he was going to the branch office again, the police officer from the local police station quickly stopped him and told him that it would be useless to go there and he would definitely not be able to find anyone. Moreover, if he went there and caused trouble again, he might be arrested as well.

Finally, he gave him some advice, saying that instead of going to the branch office, he should go to Director Li. If he really felt that his son was innocent, he should go to Director Li and ask him to look into it for him. It would be much better than him going there on his own.

Old Qiao immediately realized, "That's right! How could I have forgotten about Li Yancheng? I watched that kid grow up, he should help me with this little favor."

So, after leaving the local police station yesterday afternoon, he went straight to the Li family's house, but he didn't manage to see anyone there.

He had been wandering around the Li family's neighborhood all night, waiting for Li Yancheng to come back, but he waited until almost 9 o'clock and still hadn't seen him, so he had no choice but to leave. He didn't sleep at all last night.

He wanted to come over at six o'clock in the morning, but his wife stopped him. She said, "Why go looking for someone so early?" It wasn't until seven o'clock that he couldn't hold back any longer, and he was worried that if he came too late, the person would have already left.

"Uncle Qiao, why are you looking for me so early in the morning..."

Just as Lao Qiao was pacing anxiously in the reception room, the curtain of the reception room was suddenly lifted, and Li Yancheng's voice rang out.

"Dacheng, I've finally met you! I..."

"Don't rush, Uncle Qiao, sit down and talk slowly."

Li Yancheng raised his hand and pressed it down, then took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed one to Lao Qiao.

Seeing this, Old Qiao could only take the cigarette and light it. After sitting down on the sofa, he quickly said, "Da Cheng, I had no choice but to come to you. I don't know if you've heard, but my fourth son was arrested yesterday at noon by the East City Branch... what's it called again..."

Oh right, the criminal investigation team, they arrested my fourth son. They said he was involved in a fight and armed robbery.

Da Cheng, your Uncle Qiao came to see you, not expecting you to ask me to release my fourth son. I just want you to help me find out if he really did those things, and whether your police have any evidence, in case someone falsely accuses him.

I heard that if people who are arrested don't cooperate, the police will... I'm just worried that my fourth son won't be able to handle it and will confess to things he didn't do.

So that's what it was all about!

Li Yancheng raised an eyebrow imperceptibly.

He thought Old Joe came over to ask him to help get his fourth son out of trouble. If it was just a phone call to ask about the situation, that wouldn't be a problem.

"Uncle Qiao, it's no problem to ask about the situation, but if your fourth son has indeed done something illegal, then no one can help him except to confess honestly. Although I am the deputy director of the Municipal Bureau, I cannot interfere with the way my subordinates handle cases."

“I understand, Dacheng, I understand what you’re saying. If my fourth son really broke the law, then there’s no question about it. He’ll be dealt with however he’s supposed to be. I’ll accept it. Even if he’s executed, I’ll pretend I never had this son. But if he’s been wrongly accused…”

"Uncle Qiao, don't worry. When we in the police handle cases, we don't just listen to who says it, we also look at the evidence. If it wasn't your fourth son who did it, we definitely won't pin it on him."
