Chapter 35: Solution to the Confiscation of the Silk Banner
Chapter 35: Solution to the Confiscation of the Silk Banner (Please Recommend)
Just a few steps into the courtyard, they heard chirping sounds coming from the yard.
When Yi Zhonghai listened carefully, he only heard words like "Li Kailang, driver, truck".
As soon as I entered the front yard, I found a dozen women from various families having a heated discussion together.
"Uncle, why are you back?" said an old lady.
When everyone saw the old man coming back, they all kept silent.
"What's wrong? You are all standing in the front yard. I can hear what you are saying from outside." Yi Zhonghai asked.
"Uncle, I still have some vegetables to pick, so I'm going back first." An old lady made an excuse.
"Wait for me, me too," another aunt echoed.
Soon, one by one they disappeared from sight.
"Old Yi, when did you come back?" An old lady who had just returned from the hospital saw Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady standing motionless in the front yard.
"Okay, you guys take your time chatting, I'll go back first." said the deaf old lady, and went back with her crutches.
"I just came back from the police station, and there is some progress in Jia Zhang's case." Yi Zhonghai replied.
"Old Yi, don't worry about them for now. Go back first. I have something to tell you." The aunt said nervously, and then pulled Yi Zhonghai back home.
"What's the hurry?" Yi Zhonghai said.
"Something big has happened, Lao Yi, do you know what I learned from Sha Zhu?" the aunt said nervously.
"What's the matter? Tell me quickly." Yi Zhonghai said anxiously.
"Li Kailang has become a driver!" an old lady shouted.
"Driver, Li Kailang?" Yi Zhonghai said in disbelief. He suddenly remembered those three words and they immediately matched in his mind.
"Li Kailang has become a driver." Yi Zhonghai muttered to himself.
I had originally thought of taking control of Li Kailang at the steel mill after dealing with Jia Zhang's affairs, but now I can't do that anymore.
While Yi Zhonghai was thinking, Xie Yong brought Xiao Liu from the Street Office to the courtyard.
"Strange, why is there no one here?" Xie Yong asked curiously. There was a group of people here just now, but now there is no one around. The whole yard is quiet.
"Hello, is anyone here? I'm from the street office!" Xiao Liu shouted.
"Hello, what's the matter?" Aunt Cui came out and asked.
"Hello, Auntie, are you alone in this front yard?" Xiao Liu asked.
"No, everyone is here!" said Aunt Cui.
"Why didn't I see it?" Xiao Liu asked again.
Aunt Cui looked around and said, "They should have all gone home."
"Knowing that someone from the street office was coming, they all hid to avoid seeing him!" Xiao Liu said.
"Everyone in the courtyard, please gather in the middle courtyard. The street office has something to announce!" Xiao Liu shouted, "Auntie, please come with us."
Soon, people in the yard came to the middle yard.
"Uncle Yi, didn't you go to work?" Xiao Liu asked. Yi Zhonghai was a Grade 7 worker and was well-known in the area.
Now the eighth-level workers have not been transferred yet. Although Yi Zhonghai has a small reputation, he is not as famous as the eighth-level workers. After all, there are many courtyards nearby that have eighth-level workers.
If this courtyard did not have two level seven workers, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong, they would not have received the banner for excellent courtyard.
"I have something to do today, so I asked for half a day off." Yi Zhonghai said, "Xiao Liu, what are you doing here?"
Xiao Liu then remembered the important matter and coughed twice:
“Everyone knows this police comrade. I came here this time because I want to thank the police for warning the street office about the situation in your courtyard.
"I came here for two things. First, on behalf of the Sub-district Office, I want to take back the Excellent Siheyuan banner of your Siheyuan."
Second, Director Wang from our subdistrict office will come to your yard for a meeting in the evening, so remember to set aside time for that.”
"Okay, that's it, let's go." After saying that, Xiao Liu was about to leave when he was suddenly stopped by Yi Zhonghai.
"Xiao Liu, wait, you said that the street office wants to take away the banners in our yard. This is not a good idea." Yi Zhonghai said.
"Not so good, then you should just let Jia Zhang's behavior go. Uncle Yi, as the uncle of the courtyard, you didn't do this kind of thing well, but let the police from the police station tell us. If something happens, it will be difficult for us in the street office to do it."
Xiao Liu said rudely, and Yi Zhonghai was embarrassed for a moment.
"Xiao Liu, is there any way to prevent the street office from taking away the banner? After all, it has been so many years and everyone is used to it." Yi Zhonghai said.
"I can't help it. It's your fault that such a big thing happened in your yard. Besides, even if you're not used to it now, you'll get used to it in the future." Xiao Liu said:
"Okay, I've said everything I need to say. Let's talk to each other and set aside time in the evening for the meeting. Let's go."
The two of them left directly.
For Yi Zhonghai, taking away the banner was a trivial matter, but the benefits behind the banner made him pay attention.
With his salary of 84.5, he doesn't lack that, but others do. Especially when it comes to requiring letters of understanding from each resident, this benefit is particularly important.
"This is not an easy thing to do!" Yi Zhonghai said solemnly, "It seems that this is the only way."
"Xiao Qin, come here." Yi Zhonghai said to Qin Huairu, motioning her to come to his house.
"Uncle, is there anything wrong?" Qin Huairu asked, and Auntie also looked at Yi Zhonghai.
"Xiao Qin, you also know that the banner was taken away, which means that everyone will lose their benefits. What do you think about this?" Yi Zhonghai asked.
"Uncle, if there is no benefit, then there is no benefit. What can we do?" Qin Huairu said aggrievedly. Their family also wanted that little bit of benefit, but there was nothing they could do if it was cancelled.
"Well, what I mean is, without the welfare, it's not that easy to rescue your mother now!" Yi Zhonghai said truthfully.
"Uncle, you have to rescue my mother. You promised to do that!" Qin Huairu said crying.
"Well, let me tell you, this morning, I went to the police station with the deaf old lady."
Yi Zhonghai's intention was very clear. He originally wanted to rely on his own prestige, plus the compensation from the Jia family, to get the residents to write a letter of understanding, so that he could rescue Jia Zhang from her predicament.
But now the benefits have been cancelled, and a letter of understanding must be prepared within three days. The only way now is to pay more money to compensate for the loss of benefits, and then he can assist from the side.
"It would be best to sign a letter of apology before Director Wang comes. If Director Wang comes, this matter will be difficult to resolve." Yi Zhonghai said in a serious tone.
"Uncle, you know that my family's money is kept by my mother, and I don't have much money. So, I will discuss it with Dongxu tonight and give you an answer later." Qin Huairu said,
"Okay, then go back and think about it carefully." Yi Zhonghai said helplessly
Qin Huairu left the Yi family.
"Lao Yi, is this really the only way to do it?" asked an older lady.
Yi Zhonghai nodded and suddenly said, "By the way, go and prepare the money."
"Ah! Why do I need to prepare money?" an old lady asked puzzledly.
"Look at Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu, do they have money? Even if they do, they won't pay for it themselves. In the end, I have to pay for it."
"That's true, but the Jia family is really going too far." Auntie
"Okay, stop talking and go get ready. For the sake of Banggen, you have to pay the money." Yi Zhonghai said.
"Oh~~~" an old lady sighed and took out a box from a hidden place. There was a lot of money in it.
The two have no children, so they have saved a lot of money over the years. They don't usually spend money on big fish and meat, and live a very poor life, also in order to save money for retirement.
Having descendants and not having descendants each have their own difficulties.
Just like Yi Zhonghai, he has no descendants, but he has money and dares not spend it carelessly.
Even though I have money, I can’t save much, and I dare not spend it carelessly.
