Siheyuan: Let Yourself Go He Yuzhu

Chapter 22: Punishment of Jia Zhang

Originally, this matter needed to go through the formalities and would take at least a week. However, now that Jia Dongxu was dead, death was the greatest thing and he should be buried in peace, so Jia Zhang had to complete the funeral first.

But the problem is that He Yuzhu also held Jia Zhang's opinion that she deliberately treated Jia Dongxu harshly, and also suggested that Jia Zhang might be Jia Dongxu's stepmother. In this way, whether Jia Dongxu could be buried in peace became a question.

Director Yang became interested. If it was really as He Yuzhu said, then the steel rolling mill should bear secondary responsibility. Director Yang also had something to say in front of the senior leaders of the department, saying that it was Jia Zhang who deliberately treated Jia Dongxu harshly and did not let Jia Dongxu have enough to eat, which indirectly led to Jia Dongxu's death in the steel rolling mill.

The current laws are not perfect and are mainly based on rule by man, and people have to consider the ways of the world. Section Chief Ma cannot have the final say. Even if he does, Director Yang has to do it, because Director Yang has the highest rank.

Director Yang saw that the situation was in his favor, so he stopped having the final say and ordered Chief Chu to thoroughly investigate the matter of Jia Zhang's harsh treatment of Jia Dongxu. All Director Yang wanted was a legitimate excuse, since the man was already dead.

As He Yuzhu said, as a leading cadre, what is there to be afraid of if a few people die? The key is not to make political mistakes.

Director Yang has this mentality.

"Let's take them one by one and start with Jia Zhang's matter." Director Zheng made the final decision.

The leaders nodded. Director Zheng, Section Chief Ma, and Factory Director Yang all had different focuses. Strictly speaking, they were now divided into two factions.

Director Yang, Section Chief Chu, Director Zhang and Section Chief Ma are in the same faction. Their work focuses on investigating the case of Jia Zhang killing Jia Dongxu as alleged by He Yuzhu.

This is a murder case. Human life is more important than anything else. This is a big deal.

Director Yang was eager to let Section Chief Ma investigate the case, also for his own future.

Director Yang was called by the senior leader today and given a good scolding. If what He Yuzhu said about the hug was true, the senior leader would feel a little guilty towards Director Yang after knowing the truth and would make it up to Director Yang in other ways. This is what Director Yang wanted.

Section Chiefs Chu, Zhang and Ma were eager to make achievements.

Director Zheng and Director Wang are of the same school. They focus on resolving civil disputes in the courtyard houses. Director Zheng even wants to use the No. 95 courtyard house as a pilot to test whether what He Yuzhu said can work. If it works, it can be popularized throughout the city, which is also a credit.

If a man does not serve himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth!
Do you really think they are serving the people? They just want to make progress too much.

"It has been confirmed that Jia Zhang slandered He Yuzhu. Does anyone have any objections?" Director Zheng said.

"No objection." Everyone nodded. With the solid evidence there, of course no one had any objection.

"Let's discuss again the matter of Jia Zhang's harsh treatment of Jia Dongxu." Director Zheng said.

"The investigation has proved that what He Yuzhu said was true. Jia Zhang was indeed harsh on Dongxu and did not let him have enough to eat every day. Jia Zhang would occasionally go out to eat alone. Jia Dongxu was extremely filial to his mother. It is not an exaggeration to call him foolishly filial." Section Chief Ma said as he looked at the testimony transcript in his hand.

"After Jia Dongxu got into trouble, our factory also investigated the matter and found that Jia Dongxu was working in a near-comatose state due to a lack of concentration, which led to operational errors and the tragedy," Director Yang said immediately.

This is a great opportunity to pass the buck! Director Yang felt that this wave was settled. As long as he took the testimony to the senior leader early tomorrow morning, the matter would be over.

"Director Yang is right. This is also the result of our security department's visits and investigations." Chief Chu continued. Not only Director Yang can report to the department, but Chief Chu can also report to the department.

"The question is, can we convict and sentence Jia Zhang based on this?" Section Chief Ma said with a frown.

Everyone was silent, even He Yuzhu felt the silence. This kind of case would be difficult to solve even in the future.

Jia Dongxu is filial to his mother. He would rather eat less and let his mother Jia Zhang eat more. This is filial piety and he is fulfilling his filial duty. No one can say anything about it.

Even if Jia Zhang deliberately starved Jia Dongxu, Jia Zhang would have something to say. What does this have to do with her? It was caused by the famine years. Didn't she want to buy food? She couldn't buy it, and if she couldn't buy it, someone would starve.

"The street should punish Jia Zhang for slandering He Yuzhu. As for Jia Zhang's harsh treatment of Jia Dongxu, it shows his personal moral deficiencies and moral degradation. At present, I suggest that the street should focus more on criticism and education." Director Zheng said with a frown.

When investigating and collecting evidence, Section Chief Ma also investigated whether Jia Zhang was Jia Dongxu's biological mother.

Jia Dongxu was born in the old world, where no archives were established and detailed investigations were impossible. He could only collect evidence through investigations through the elderly people in the courtyard.

The deaf old lady, Yi Zhonghai and his wife, Liu Haizhong and his wife, etc. can all prove that Jia Dongxu is Jia Zhang's biological son.

However, this further proves that Jia Zhangshi has poor personal morals and what a piece of shit she is. She would rather starve her own son just to have enough food.

Section Chief Ma and others also understood that He Yuzhu did this on purpose in order to ruin Jia Zhang's reputation, make Jia Zhang notorious, and disgust Jia Zhang at the same time. However, Section Chief Ma and others wisely did not mention it.

"I have no objection. After all, this is the Jia family's family affair. We usually use persuasion for such matters. Alas, even persuasion is useless. Jia Dongxu is so foolishly filial that he may not listen." Director Yang said.

"I have no objection either." Chief Chu continued.

"Master He, do you have any comments?" Director Zheng looked at He Yuzhu.

In fact, He Yuzhu's opinion was the most important today. Director Zheng and others were afraid that He Yuzhu would be dissatisfied, so they sent them away politely on the surface, and then immediately ran to Zhongnanhai to complain.

"I also know that this kind of thing makes it difficult for all the leaders, and there is no precedent for this kind of thing. I have no objection. However, I want to add that the reason why Jia Dongxu is so foolishly filial is not innate, but is caused by Yi Zhonghai's constant education and brainwashing." He Yuzhu once again slandered Yi Zhonghai.

"I know that your courtyard is very complicated, so I come one by one. Since Master He has no objection, then Director Wang, you can tell me the details of the punishment for Jia Zhang." Director Zheng said.

"My suggestion is to hold a meeting of the whole hospital and let Jia Zhang apologize to you, Zhuzi, in front of everyone, and then let Jia Zhang undergo a three-month ideological education." Director Wang of the street said.

Objectively speaking, Director Wang's punishment was fair and reasonable. In Director Wang's opinion, Jia Zhang and He Yuzhu only had a verbal dispute, which did not cause any substantial harm to He Yuzhu. This kind of thing happens almost every day in the entire street, so there is no need to make a big deal out of it.

"It seems that Master He has a different opinion. Master He, please feel free to speak up if you have any good ideas. This is not a one-man show. Just speak up and we need to pool the wisdom of all." Director Zheng had been staring at He Yuzhu and noticed that He Yuzhu was frowning, so he couldn't help but say.
