Chapter 1405: The City’s Tricks
Evening
Lin Chen returns home
The women in the courtyard started to get impatient after not hearing from their men for a day.
"Brother Lin, when will Guangqi and the others be released? We haven't seen Director Xiang come back for a day, and we are all worried!"
Although Liu Erpang didn't go in this time, his two sons didn't run away. So the second aunt was still very nervous...
After get off work, Xiang Nanfang went directly to Yard No. 69 to find Chang Xingyu and Ye Juan... She would never go back to the courtyard to listen to these people complain.
"It will be soon! Director Xiang should still be mediating at the police station... By the way, tell Jia Zhangshi when Qiangzi comes back. Everyone else will go back to the steel mill to receive their punishment. Qiangzi is not a steel mill worker, so the neighborhood committee asked him to clean the public toilet outside our gate for three months. If he doesn't do it, the street office will take back the tricycle's license plate."
Now, once the matter is handled by the government, none of the people involved can escape. Even if they don't work at the steel mill, there are people who can keep them under control.
Jia Zhang frowned and could only smile bitterly and agree...
"Brother Lin, don't worry. We will definitely clean it up, but you can't take my sign. My husband and I rely on driving a tricycle to make a living..."
Qiangzi had to earn money to support his life, so the job of cleaning the toilet was still done by Jia Zhangshi. Everyone was implicated, how could Lin Chen let Jia Zhangshi be happy... He had to give her some work.
Jia Zhang was angry, but she didn't dare to show any displeasure in front of Lin Chen... This was a punishment from the street office, and she had to accept it obediently.
"Brother Lin, what should we do to punish these people in our courtyard? It's impossible to punish only my Qiangzi! If that's the case, we won't do it..."
Jia Zhang's tone of voice, as if she was going to drag the whole courtyard into this, was met with cold stares from all the women present...
What the hell is this! He is punished himself and he drags others along with him.
Jia Zhang didn't care about the looks of these people. She just waited for Lin Chen's reply...
Lin Chen didn't want to say it at first, but now Jia Zhang insisted on dragging everyone to be punished together. You saw it too, if everyone disagreed, she would not agree.
"Of course they go to the steel mill to move bricks, which is also considered to be contributing to the new society... Do you want to try it too?"
It's over 30 degrees outside now, and there's no shade on the construction site... Moving bricks is not a pleasant experience, and most people would get sunburned and peeling.
When Jia Zhang heard about moving bricks in such hot weather, she immediately felt overwhelmed. She was sweating just sitting at home, so she didn't want to move bricks.
Jia Zhang still feels frightened when she thinks about the labor reform she had to endure a few years ago.
"No, no, they deserve it... I told them not to go into the tavern, but they still went in."
Before leaving Siheyuan, they repeatedly warned him not to go into the tavern, as that would not be handled properly. Now, not only did they smash the tavern, they also took down He Yongqiang.
After Jia Zhang ran away, the third aunt started to curse. After all, all three of them were involved. The family with the most…
……
Just when Lin Chen was about to take a few steps home, Xu Huizhi came over from next door crying.
She had to come back to take care of the child, so the hospital found a nurse to help take care of He Yongqiang.
"Uncle No. 1, Uncle No. 2, you need to say something fair! Someone from the police station came today to inform us that Brother Yongqiang was injured in a gang fight. Jiudaowanzi won't pay for his medical expenses because their people were also injured by us! Shouldn't our hospital pay for this? Brother Yongqiang's right arm was broken... and... and there... wuwuwu."
He Yongqiang's crotch injury was also serious, but Xu Huizhi was too embarrassed to say it out loud.
Liu Haizhong frowned and looked at Lin Chen. He didn't dare to be the master of this matter... and there was no such precedent in the Siheyuan.
Lin Chen thought that you guys had a nice idea, but if this were to happen... it would be a mess. What if everyone had to lie in the hospital in the future?
"Comrade Xu Huizhi, please don't cry. We also sympathize with Comrade He Yongqiang's experience, but this matter is not a matter of a few dollars... I can't make the decision, so you guys should take care of it first. We'll discuss it after everyone comes back..."
When everyone heard Lin Chen's tone that he didn't want to pay, they thought that if they just discussed it... there would be no chance. So the wind direction changed immediately! The three aunts were the first to stand up...
"Brother Lin, what are you still discussing? No one paid a dime for my old Yan's injury at Baiwang Mountain? Not to mention the distant ones, now old Chen is also lying at home unable to get off the kang... Do we have to compensate the Chen family too? For so many years, we have been clear about protecting ourselves... If this is opened, what if everyone pretended to have a headache and went to the hospital last night? Do we have to pay for it too?"
Xu Huizhi wanted everyone to exchange money for medical treatment, but not only would Lin Chen disagree...even all the women in the hospital would not agree.
As soon as the third aunt finished speaking, Jia Zhang jumped out of the Jia family again...
"My son Qiangzi came home yesterday and complained of a pain in his balls... I don't know how he is now. I guess we have to go to the hospital for a checkup after we come back..."
With Jia Zhang taking the lead, Chen also took the lead...
"My husband, Chen, will also need to be hospitalized tomorrow. It will take him a long time to recover at home... You also have to give us money for treatment!"
There was no way Xu Huizhi could defeat a group of middle-aged women. Dwarf Tiger and White Lotus had already made Xu Huizhi speechless before they even made a move.
Lin Chen thought, "Look, I just said let's discuss it, but the tenant disagreed! You can't blame me for this... It's difficult for me too!"
At this time, Liu Haizhong interrupted the chattering of several old women with a wave of his hands.
"Stop, stop, stop quarreling...wait until Old Yan and the others come back. They haven't come back yet, and you're quarreling again."
Chen snorted coldly: "I don't care. My old Chen is dizzy and vomiting now... Brother Lin said last night that this is a mild concussion caused by being slapped. We will go to the hospital tomorrow. If you treat He Yongqiang, you must treat us too..."
Xu Huizhi was so angry that she couldn't speak for a long time. What kind of people are these? They were fine yesterday, but when it comes to money... no one has any sympathy.
Even so, she didn't get the medical expenses and had to go home to cook for her children.
After Lin Chen waved his hand, the three aunts and the other women dispersed...
The rules of the courtyard were established five years ago: life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are determined by God.
If all injuries from gang fights were compensated, there would definitely be a lot of people who would need to be hospitalized every time. That would be a mess... So unless it was a special case, the whole hospital would definitely not pay together. If it was a special case, and it was really for the benefit of the hospital... then we would hold a general meeting to vote.
How could Lin Chen possibly spend money on his treatment after he had arranged for someone to beat He Yongqiang up... You can recover on your own!
The so-called city tricks are too complicated, so don’t even think about going back to the countryside.
Now that you have come to Siheyuan, you have to slowly adapt and integrate. With the miracle doctor in charge, it is guaranteed that you will never die...
