Siheyuan: Return to the Era of Prosperity

Chapter 26 Dung Cart
As soon as the two arrived at the gate of the courtyard, they heard a noise. He helped Yi Zhonghai cross the gate with difficulty and entered the front yard.

Then he heard his mother Jia Zhang's cursing. After entering the middle courtyard, he saw Jia Zhang standing at the door of her house and Sha Zhu standing by the faucet in the yard.

Jia Zhang stood firm and said, "Silly Zhu, you son of a bitch, what does your demotion have to do with my family? It was obviously the fault of that old fellow Yi Zhonghai, who caused my Dongxu to be demoted. If you don't give me an explanation, I will hang myself on his door. Old Jia, come up and take them away quickly, how can we, an orphan and a widow, survive..."

Jia Zhang was in mourning, and when she saw Jia Dongxu, she didn't care about mourning. She stood up and asked, "Dongxu, what the security department said is true. You were really demoted? This old guy caused you to be demoted, why did you support him and let him die?"

"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about! The master is doing this for our family."

After Jia Dongxu finished speaking, he ignored Jia Zhangshi and said to Sha Zhu who was standing beside him, "Sha Zhu, go out and borrow a cart and take my master to the city hospital. Mom, give me some money and I will take my master to see a doctor."

Yi Zhonghai leaned on Jia Dongxu and his mood improved slightly. Dongxu was a filial and reliable child, and his daily teaching was worthy of him.

Jia Zhang had lived with Jia Dongxu for twenty-seven or twenty-eight years and knew her son very well. She knew how to answer him just by looking at his eyes. It was simple for her to think that she, a widow, could raise Jia Dongxu all by herself.

"Where can we get the money? The family only has twenty or thirty yuan left." Jia Zhang yelled.

"Sister-in-law of the Jia family, it's free. You can go to the old lady in the backyard and call her aunt." Yi Zhonghai didn't need Jia Dongxu to pay. Just having this intention made him very happy.

Seeing that Jia Dongxu was so worried about him, Yi Zhonghai thought that he didn't lose too much this time. At least it proved that Jia Dongxu was a reliable candidate for retirement support.

When an old lady saw Yi Zhonghai's appearance, she was so scared that she burst into tears. She hurried home to get money and prepared to send Yi Zhonghai to the city hospital with Jia Dongxu and Sha Zhu.

She really didn't dare let anything happen to Yi Zhonghai. If Yi Zhonghai died, she couldn't imagine what she would do in the future.

Yi Zhonghai has become quite famous, and today he is enjoying the treatment of a celebrity, with people pointing fingers at him wherever he goes.

Shazhu's unreliability was fully demonstrated in this incident of borrowing a car.

He couldn't borrow a clean cart, so he spent 2 cents to rent a manure truck. The pungent smell almost made Yi Zhonghai faint again.

"Shazhu, who are you slandering?" Jia Dongxu cursed.

"Isn't this something I can't borrow?" Sha Zhu muttered.

"You... forget it, Master's health is more important. Master, I'm sorry to trouble you, please close your mouth and nose, and we will push faster." Jia Dongxu said helplessly.

Sha Zhuli pushed the cart, and Jia Dongxu and an old lady followed beside him, and they walked towards the municipal hospital together.

The pungent smell made pedestrians along the way avoid it, which can be called the ambulance of the new era.

Yi Zhonghai felt very excited, which made him very dissatisfied with Sha Zhu. He thought his good disciple Jia Dongxu was more reliable.

On the other hand, the sub-district office and Hongxing Primary School both received the steel mill’s handling results and suggestions.

Red Star Primary School, principal's office.

"Director Jiang, do you have any suggestions?" asked Principal Qin Jiucheng.

Dean of Education Jiang Zhongqiu thought for a moment and said, "Principal Qin, Mr. Yan is a teacher, and his behavior is really disgraceful. But according to the investigation results, he is not the main culprit, it is just his old habit, and he wants to take advantage of it. We should handle it according to the steel mill's suggestion, and we can explain it to everyone."

Qin Jiucheng asked, "Is it too light?" Jiang Zhongqiu smiled and said, "Principal, you don't know. Our teacher Yan can accept everything else. He is most afraid of being fined. For him, a fine of three months' allowance is like killing him."

Qin Jiucheng said in surprise: "If there is such a thing, then we should follow the advice of the steel mill."

The school quickly decided on the outcome, but Qin Jiucheng did not post the result publicly, leaving Yan Bugui with a last bit of face.

This is also because the two of them took into consideration the special nature of Yan Bugui's profession. If a teacher has flawed character, students will subconsciously resist him, which will affect their learning.

For the sake of students’ studies, we had no choice but to conceal the results of Yan Bugui’s treatment from parents and students.

Yan Bugui also benefited from the fact that intellectuals are in short supply nowadays, otherwise he would not have been allowed to pass so easily.

You must know that the moral requirements for faculty and staff are always higher than those for ordinary people. For a teacher who imparts knowledge and answers questions, their words and deeds are very important to children.

……

Office of the senior party official of the subdistrict office.

"Everyone is clear about the matter, and the steel rolling mill's handling results are also out. Comrade Qifang, you were at the scene yesterday, so please first tell us your handling opinions, and we will discuss it at the end." said Cheng Yuzhou, a senior party official of the subdistrict office.

Tu Qifang stood up and said, "Secretary Cheng, please criticize and punish me. It is my fault that I did not manage the situation well, allowing Yi Zhonghai and others to take advantage of the situation."

Cheng Yuzhou waved his hand and said, "Comrade Qifang, it's useless to talk about this now. Let's discuss how to deal with it first, summarize the experience, and prevent similar situations from happening again in the future."

Tu Qifang thought for a moment and said, "Secretary Cheng, I suggest that the position of the manager be revoked, the offender be required to clean toilets in the nearby streets for three months, and the relevant personnel be sent to the street office for a month of ideological education."

Cheng Yuzhou nodded and said, "Everyone, what are your suggestions?"

Hao Manjiang, director of the street armed forces department, said: "Is this a bit too lenient?"

As a soldier, he could not accept the phenomenon of bullying the families of military martyrs.

Qiu Zhengde, deputy secretary of the Party Working Committee, thought for a moment and said, "For the time being, let's follow Tu's advice and give them a chance. This is an internal conflict among the people, and it has not risen to the level of a political enemy."

Cheng Yuzhou glanced at everyone and saw that no one wanted to express an opinion, so he said, "Just follow the director's opinion, but increase the ideological education to three months, appease Comrade Shen Zhiyu, and give him a bicycle ticket."

In fact, everyone knows that this is the best way to deal with it.

If they really want to punish severely, they need to handle the case criminally and involve the judicial department. In that case, the initiative will no longer be in the hands of the street office, and the person who committed the crime is the one elected by the street to be in charge, so their street will not end up well in the end.

However, most of the people present had just come back from the battlefield, and they were very dissatisfied with the behavior of Yi Zhonghai and others.

If Yi Zhonghai and others fall into their hands again in the future, it will not be as simple as this time. They might even have to eat sand.

After the subdistrict office has determined the handling opinions, Tu Qifang will be responsible for notification.
