Chapter 770: Seeking Medical Treatment in Desperation 2

When Hao Aiguo and Yue Xiangqian walked through the hanging flower gate, they looked at each other in surprise. They saw that more than half of the residents in Courtyard No. 95 were standing in the backyard, staring at the closed door of Xu Fugui's house.

Although the temperature had already dropped to more than ten degrees below zero, the biting cold wind could not extinguish the enthusiasm of these residents to watch the excitement. Now there were at least thirty or forty men and women in thick cotton-padded clothes, who stamped their cold feet from time to time and stared at Xu Fugui's door. Some boys had even tiptoed to the Xu family, got outside the door and pricked up their ears to listen to the movements in the house. Obviously, with the return of the residents who worked in the Red Star Steel Mill, Zhou Erniu's theft of materials from the steel mill had already spread in the courtyard. When the few onlookers in the middle courtyard saw the Zhou family's mother and daughter walking hurriedly towards the backyard, they immediately followed to continue watching the excitement. Some even ran to the front yard to notify those who had a good relationship with them to go to the backyard to take a look together. Of course, someone inevitably told the residents in the backyard, so in just a short while, so many people had gathered here.

Hao Aiguo coughed dryly, and took the lead to walk through the crowd of onlookers towards Xu's house. The boys turned around and saw the two managers approaching, and they all grinned and retreated to the side.

Hao Aiguo knocked gently on the door, then said, "Lao Xu, it's me and Lao Yue."

After a while, the door was opened from the inside, and Xu Fugui appeared at the door. He glanced at the crowd standing in the backyard watching the excitement, and said with a smile: "It's Lao Yue and Lao Hao, come in quickly."

After Yue Xiangqian and Hao Aiguo entered Xu's house, Xu Fugui closed the door directly. The boys immediately leaned against the door and eavesdropped cautiously.

Hao Aiguo had just walked into the Xu family when he was surprised to see Zhou's mother and daughter in Xu Fugui's living room. There was also Yu Jiangbo from the backyard sitting at the eight-immortals table with a bitter face. He immediately thought of Yu Kangning, the son of the Yu family, who was a fitter at the Red Star Steel Mill. Now that Yu Jiangbo appeared here in this state, it was obvious that Yu Kangning had most likely been arrested by the security department of the steel mill.

Sure enough, Xu Fugui's next words confirmed Hao Aiguo's guess. Xu Fugui first picked up the Daqianmen cigarettes on the Eight Immortals Table and handed them to Yue Xiangqian and Hao Aiguo respectively, then said with a wry smile: "You two came at the right time, and we didn't have to ask Damao to invite them. Let's make a long story short. Zhou Erniu and Yu Kangning were locked up by the Security Department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill when they got off work today. Now the Zhou family's mother and Master Yu came to my house, and they wanted me to go to the steel rolling mill to find some connections and get Zhou Erniu and Yu Kangning out."

Seeing that Hao Aiguo didn't want to talk, Yue Xiangqian lit up a cigarette and took a puff, then slowly said, "Lao Xu, after all, we are all neighbors living in the same courtyard. It is said that a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative. Now that Zhou Erniu and Yu Kangning have been in this kind of situation, whoever of us can help should lend a hand, and give gifts if necessary. The most important thing right now is to get the person out first. I heard that he is now in the security department of the steel rolling mill, and he will definitely not feel good."

Xu Fugui sighed helplessly, "Although I have become familiar with several leaders of the Red Star Steel Mill due to the movie screenings, I really don't know anyone in the security department of the steel mill. The security guards of the Lou's Steel Mill have all been transferred to the workshops and are now basically replaced by retired soldiers. I have no say in this."

Hao Aiguo looked at Yu Jiangbo, who looked worried, and Zhou Erniu's wife, who looked panicked. He coughed dryly before speaking, "Master Yu, Zhou's wife, do you know how much Yu Kangning and Zhou Erniu got from the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill? From what I know about the security department of our food factory, workers who steal items worth less than ten yuan are usually criticized and educated, and at most they are asked to write a self-criticism and be fined. For workers who steal more than ten yuan but less than thirty yuan, in addition to being fined and writing a self-criticism, they are also punished. As for workers who steal more than thirty yuan, they are usually sent to the police station and sentenced to labor. "It's time to start the transformation. Now that things have come to this, there's no need for you to hide it. I don't believe you don't know what they did. The reason why I want to know the amount of money Zhou Erniu and Yu Kangning stole is to have a rough idea of ​​it. If the amount involved is too large, then we shouldn't waste time. Even if we find a connection, they won't take such a big risk to help. Only when the amount of stolen materials is not large, it is possible to find someone to help. I hope you think it through before answering. Anyway, they say that a dead child cannot be buried in the snow. I guess Zhou Erniu and Yu Kangning can only confess the truth in the security department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill."

Yu Jiangbo sighed heavily: "Kang Ning, this naughty kid, started smoking Daqianmen cigarettes in the fall. He is only a first-level fitter now. His monthly salary is given to his family, and he is only given 10 yuan as food expenses and pocket money at the steel mill at noon. How can he afford to smoke Daqianmen cigarettes often with that little money? I found something wrong and asked him about it. In the end, he admitted that he often smuggled one or two scrap parts and steel from the scrap pile in the workshop and sold them to the scrap collection station. I was very angry when I found out. This is stealing materials from the steel mill. If found, he will definitely be punished. But Kang Ning said that more than half of the workers in their workshop often smuggled scrap parts and steel out. This is almost a semi-public thing in their workshop. No one cares at all. I was also obsessed at the time. I just reminded him to be careful and not to be too greedy. Alas, I regret it now. If I had stopped him severely at the time, such a shameful thing would not have happened today."

Hao Aiguo glanced at Xu Fugui standing opposite him, and saw a hint of sarcasm in his eyes. Now he said it nicely, but in fact, it was his greed that was at work? As an old worker who has worked in the Red Star Steel Mill for many years, don't you know the nature of stealing materials from the steel mill? However, neither of them spoke, and they both waited quietly for Zhou Erniu's wife to speak.

The Zhou family's wife hesitated for a long time before she said hesitantly, "Erniu in our family only occasionally took some steel from the steel mill to make some small things at home. It was only after the grain supply quota was reduced that he took some scrap parts from the steel mill every day to sell as scrap in order to make up for the deficit of buying grain at a high price. Uncle, for the sake of our old neighbors for so many years, you must help him. If Erniu gets into trouble, how will our family survive?"
