Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

"Jia Zhang...Whether Comrade Wang Dong is engaged in speculation or not is up to the street, not you..." Director Zhou was almost laughing at Jia Zhang's arrogance and ignorance, and interrupted without hesitation.

He had accused Wang Dong of being a speculator and a clerk whose money came from illegal sources. He was dumbfounded when he learned that Wang Dong was the deputy director of the kitchen of the steel mill, with a higher rank than himself, and was also a cadre.

My mind was full of worries, and I was afraid that Wang Dong would hate me.

Although the other party was the deputy director of the steel mill's kitchen and he was a street official, they did not belong to the same system.

But if the other party really wants to deal with a small clerk like mine, there are still many ways to do it even if both parties do not belong to the same system.

Seeing that Jia Zhang still wanted to cause trouble for Wang Dong at this time, the clerk suddenly realized that this was a good opportunity to apologize to Wang Dong.

Immediately answered: "Jia Zhang..."

"Comrade Wang Dong is not only a seventh-level chef at the steel mill, but also the deputy director of the steel mill's kitchen. Do you think he needs to engage in speculation just for a few pieces of bacon?"

"Shut up..."

"Since Comrade Wang Dong dared to take out this pork, it means there is no problem with the origin of this bacon."

"Let's listen to Comrade Wang Dong's explanation first before we judge whether these bacon were brought back through speculation or not."

"Tell you……"

"Shut up from now on. Don't speak unless I tell you to."

"Don't forget that it is also illegal to slander people at will."

Jia Zhangshi, like Yi Zhonghai, is a person who bullies the weak and fears the strong.

In her eyes, the street was something he couldn't afford to offend.

Seeing the street official glaring at him with a look of dissatisfaction on his face, he backed down on the spot.

With a flattering smile, he said, "Leader, I'll listen to you... Let me first listen to the explanation of that little bastard Wang Dong."

Wang Dong smiled at Director Zhou and the clerk who had just spoken for him, then said, "Director Zhou, and all the neighbors and comrades, since everyone is interested in the bacon, chicken, fish, etc. in my home, I will explain their origins."

"I am a level 7 chef at the steel mill. People who know me well know that I go out to take care of banquets every time I have a break."

"The minimum reward for a banquet is five dollars."

"Supplies are in short supply in the city, and I don't have a meat ticket, so I can't buy pork."

"Every time I collect my wages, if the pork and chicken prepared by the employer in advance are not used up, I will use my wages to exchange for the remaining pork."

"After taking it home, smoke it with firewood and store it for a long time, then eat it slowly..."

"It took me half a year to save up these few pieces of bacon, chicken, and fish..."

"So all the bacon you see is what I earned from my work as a waiter outside. Not a single piece of meat was bought through speculation."

Yan Fugui was the person in the front yard who wanted to make friends with Wang Dong the most, and he immediately responded: "Director Zhou..."

"I can prove this..."

"Comrade Wang Dong would go out to serve banquets every day off, and from time to time he would bring back some pork and chicken that the host family had not used up. Sometimes he would also bring some leftovers to the neighbors in the yard so that everyone could have a taste of meat together."

"The Jia family and the Chen family don't get along... They've never eaten the leftovers that Wang Dong brought back. They must be dissatisfied, so they reported Wang Dong and took revenge on him."

"Yan Fugui, you are talking nonsense... I reported Wang Dong out of justice, not revenge..." "Even if the bacon in Wang Dong's house was bought from feasts outside, he is not a good person."

"Many of the neighbors in the yard don't even have enough food to eat, but he hides at home and eats meat every day."

"He is a cadre, but he doesn't even know how to share the bacon with everyone. How selfish of him."

Yi Zhonghai was very happy when he heard that someone in Siheyuan reported Wang Dong for speculation.

There is no smoke without fire. Since others dare to report it, they must have some evidence. Wang Dong will definitely be affected. He might even lose his position as deputy director of the steel mill's kitchen.

He rushed to the front yard with great anticipation, wanting to witness with his own eyes the scene of Wang Dong being proven to be a profiteer.

After learning that the whistleblower was Jia Zhang, the expectant expression on his face was immediately replaced by worry.

In his opinion, Jia Zhang was obsessed with money and did things without thinking. This report might be a misunderstanding and might even bring trouble to himself.

As she listened, she didn't expect that Jia Zhang had actually caught Wang Dong being selfish.

Although this handle will not cause Wang Dong to lose his position as deputy director of the steel mill's kitchen, it will definitely affect Wang Dong's prestige and influence in Siheyuan, and may even make him lose face in Siheyuan.

He immediately stood up and said, "Comrade Wang Dong, as the second uncle in the courtyard, I also think that what you did is wrong."

"There are still many residents in the yard who are hungry and can't even get enough food. As a resident of the yard, you are also the deputy director of the kitchen of the steel rolling mill and a cadre. Instead of helping the people in the yard, you hide at home and secretly eat bacon..."

"This behavior is wrong."

"I suggest you take out the bacon and let everyone eat it together, otherwise you will be out of touch with the masses."

After saying this, he looked at Wang Dong provocatively, then turned his attention to the residents around him and shouted at everyone: "What do you think of my proposal just now?..."

"I guess many people haven't eaten pork for half a year."

"If Comrade Wang Dong provides all the cured chicken, cured fish, and cured meat in his home and allows the residents in the courtyard to have a meal together, I believe everyone will thank you."

"We all eat meat together. We should not be too selfish..." Because he was not selected as the kitchen team leader, the relationship between He Yuzhu and Wang Dong once again reached freezing point. He Yuzhu hoped that Wang Dong would be humiliated in front of all the residents in the compound.

As soon as Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, he stood up to support.

Unfortunately, apart from him, no one else in the yard stood up to speak.

Although everyone was jealous of the bacon and chicken in Wang Dong's hands and kept drooling, they were not as shameless as Yi Zhonghai.

After all, those bacon and chicken were earned by Wang Dong through his own labor. How could he let others give them to him for free with just a few words?

Facing the sudden silence in the yard, Yi Zhonghai was stunned.

In his opinion, if he proposed that everyone eat meat together, everyone would definitely come out to support him, because pork is too tempting for everyone.

As a result, apart from He Yuzhu, no other resident stood up to support him, making him feel unpopular with everyone.

Even Director Zhou, who was standing in the middle of the yard, looked at him coldly, as if he were a clown.

The reason why he raised this question in front of Director Zhou of the street was, on the one hand, to attack Wang Dong and make him lose face, and on the other hand, to show his appeal in the yard in front of Director Zhou.

But in the end, nothing was gained. (End of this chapter)
