Chapter 777: Early Morning Farce 1
Looking at the closed door of Yue Xiangqian's house, Zhou Erniu's wife was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at He Daqing and shouted, "He Daqing, we all know that you know the big boss of No. 98 Courtyard. You can't just watch our Erniu go to jail, right? Go and ask that big boss to plead for our Erniu. Don't worry, we won't let you help for nothing. We'll give you 100 yuan as a reward for your hard work."
He Daqing and the residents who were watching the excitement were all stunned by what Zhou Erniu's wife said. After a while, He Daqing smiled bitterly and said, "They say that marrying an unvirtuous wife will ruin three generations. I understand now. Zhou Erniu was ruined by a spendthrift woman like you. If you knew a little bit, you wouldn't have watched Zhou Erniu steal materials from the steel mill and ignored it. You wouldn't be afraid of getting your tongue bitten by the wind. I, He Daqing, have some self-knowledge. I'm just a good cook. I'm not arrogant enough to tell the big boss that this is obviously a violation of the law."
The residents nearby all looked as if they had seen a ghost, pointing and talking at Zhou Erniu's wife and her daughter. They never expected that this woman was usually so arrogant and unreasonable, and rarely suffered any loss in quarrels. In the past, only Jia Zhang from the Central Courtyard could suppress her. After all, Jia Zhang had the support of Yi Zhonghai, the steward, behind her. Even if they won the quarrel with Jia Zhang, Jia Zhang, who was never willing to suffer any loss, would definitely bring up Yi Zhonghai to seek "justice" for herself.
Everyone was almost shocked when they heard what Zhou Erniu's wife said today. From her tone of voice, she looked like she was bossing people around. How could she be asking for help? Instead, it was as if she was ordering He Daqing. Everyone suspected that this shrew was mentally ill. Even if she wanted to give gifts to He Daqing and ask for help, shouldn't she do it secretly? This shrew actually said it loudly in front of so many people in the courtyard. Even if He Daqing could help, he would not agree now. Otherwise, wouldn't it be said that He Daqing helped because he coveted the Zhou family's 100 yuan? He Daqing is now the canteen director of the training base of the Security Department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Plant. It is said that his basic salary alone is 70 or 80 yuan per month, not to mention so many benefits and subsidies. How could he do something stupid for just 100 yuan?
At this time, Zhou Erniu's wife was like a cat whose tail was stepped on. She pointed at He Daqing and screamed, "He Daqing, don't think that being a lousy director means you can look down on ordinary people like us. We are all neighbors in the same courtyard. When Erniu got into trouble, shouldn't you take the initiative to help? What's more, our family is willing to pay a hundred yuan. Don't be ungrateful. I am not a pushover. If I am forced to do anything, I will go to your unit and sue you, so that you can't even be a lousy director anymore."
He Daqing sneered disdainfully, "You just took advantage of a woman. I usually don't hit women, otherwise I would have knocked out all your teeth today. Since you have the ability, go to the Security Department training base and tell me, so that they won't come to arrest you and your mother. Don't tell me that you and your mother didn't know that Zhou Erniu had been stealing materials from the steel mill for a long time. Once Zhou Erniu confesses your crimes to the Security Department, you and your mother will be imprisoned as accomplices to the crime."
After hearing what He Daqing said, not only Zhou Erniu's wife and her mother's faces changed drastically, but even the residents who were watching the excitement nearby could not help but talk loudly.
At this time, Li Botao in the crowd said loudly: "Many people in our No. 95 courtyard do not understand the law at all. According to the current laws and regulations, those who shelter and protect criminals and help criminals sell, transfer and hide stolen goods and money will be held accountable. Even those who know about it but do not report it will be punished."
At this point, Li Botao glanced at Xu Fugui, who had long been hiding behind the hanging flower gate leading to the middle courtyard in the backyard. He knew that this old man was deliberately hiding his face, wanting to see Zhou Erniu's wife, the shrew, harass He Daqing, so he deliberately shouted loudly: "Xu Fugui, you are the manager of our No. 95 courtyard, and you are also a projectionist in the publicity department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. You should understand the laws and regulations, right? After all, you projectionists need to go to the countryside frequently to publicize laws and regulations to the rural masses. Come, come, come, please tell the residents of our courtyard about the legal responsibilities for harboring and protecting criminals."
In fact, when Zhou Erniu's wife and her daughter knocked on the door of He's house continuously, Xu Fugui had already walked behind the hanging flower gate. He had seen He Daqing helping the deaf old lady home while hiding behind his own door last night. He knew that the deaf old lady must have talked to He Daqing about Yu Kangning. He originally planned to go to He Daqing's house early this morning and talk to him about Zhou Erniu. Regardless of whether He Daqing would help or not, he had already told him anyway. Even if Zhou Erniu's wife came to him again, she could directly blame He Daqing.
Unfortunately, when Xu Fugui just walked to the hanging flower gate, he heard the quarrel between He Daqing and Zhou Erniu's wife coming from the central courtyard. He immediately stopped. If he went out at this time, he would have to deal with Zhou Erniu's wife who was deliberately making trouble. After all, he was still the manager of the No. 95 courtyard. No matter how he looked at it, the Zhou family was in the wrong this morning.
But Xu Fugui still wanted to see He Daqing make a fool of himself. After all, as a grown man, he couldn't do anything to Zhou Erniu's wife. He believed that Zhou Erniu's wife's unreasonable and dishonest attitude would be enough to make He Daqing suffer.
Unfortunately, contrary to Xu Fugui's expectation, He Daqing's words were actually well-reasoned and he directly blocked Zhou Erniu's wife, a well-known shrew in the No. 95 courtyard, so that she was speechless and could only resort to throwing a tantrum and acting like a rogue.
Xu Fugui had not expected to be directly named by Li Botao. It was not possible for him to continue hiding behind the hanging flower gate like a dead dog. After all, following Li Botao's sight, several residents who were watching the fun had seen him.
Xu Fugui had no choice but to walk through the hanging flower gate with a gloomy face, and shouted at Zhou Erniu's wife, "Zhou's wife, why are you making a scene at the door of He Daqing's house so early in the morning? You want to ask for help, how do you do it? I think you just hope Zhou Erniu will not be sentenced."
Then Xu Fugui looked at He Daqing and said with a fake smile: "Director He, it is said that the law is nothing more than human feelings. After all, Zhou Erniu and Yu Kangning are both residents of our No. 95 courtyard. If it is convenient for you, can you say a few good words to the leaders of the Security Department?"
