Get something in the courtyard

Wang Kun was at work when he received a call from the subdistrict office, asking him to return to the courtyard. When he arrived, he saw that the courtyard was full of people, most of whom were from the subdistrict office. Several deputy directors of the subdistrict office were also present.

The remaining people, except those who were not going to work, included Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu.

"Director Wang, what happened?"

Director Wang didn't say anything to Wang Kun. He turned to Yi Zhonghai and said, "Everyone is here now. You can talk now."

Yi Zhonghai clenched his fists, encouraged himself, and said, "I just remembered it suddenly. I remember that in 1951, my godmother had a wooden box, which seemed to contain some gold bars. When my godmother was in the hospital, I was always sad for her and didn't think about these things.

I just remembered this when I was thinking about what happened with my godmother these past two days. I'm worried that someone has hidden these gold bars."

While saying these words, Yi Zhonghai glanced at Wang Kun from time to time.

Wang Kun knew at a glance that this old man was holding back: "You mean, the deaf old lady hid the gold bars and didn't hand them in. The deaf old lady died, and you remembered it again.

Now that you remember, hand over the gold bars immediately."

Yi Zhonghai's face turned red with anger: "If I had the gold bars, I would have handed them over. But I didn't get them."

Director Wang frowned and knocked on the table in front of him: "Wang Kun, be quiet. Yi Zhonghai means that the deaf old lady's gold bars must be hidden at home. The deaf old lady's house is yours."

At the same time, Director Wang also felt a little sorry for Wang Kun. She had given the house to Wang Kun out of kindness. Who could have thought that Wang Kun would get into this trouble again?

Wang Kun said disdainfully: "Since Yi Zhonghai said that there are gold bars hidden in the deaf old lady's house, then let someone go in and search. Director Wang, our family has obtained the deaf old lady's house, but we have not yet entered it.

I had no idea that the deaf old lady had no gold bars."

A deputy director asked, "Why haven't you been in there before?"

"Of course not. The seal you put on the door should still be there. The people in the backyard can also testify."

Someone immediately asked the people in the backyard, and under the pressure from the street office, those people did not dare to lie.

This clears Wang Kun of suspicion.

"Take out the house keys. We are going to search the house."

Wang Kun asked Ran Qiuye to go home and get the key, and then he said to the people in the street office: "If the deaf old lady is hiding something, you can just ask Yi Zhonghai to hand it over. He and Qin Huairu emptied the deaf old lady's house."

When Yi Zhonghai heard Wang Kun's words, he immediately retorted: "I haven't seen my godmother's gold bars. If I had, I would have handed them over."

This explanation was a bit weak. The people in the street office didn't believe it at all. They had been to the deaf old lady's house. The wall of the house had been scraped off. It was all done by Yi Zhonghai.

Considering the incident with the gold bars, they immediately guessed that Yi Zhonghai did that in order to find the gold bars.

Then, no matter how Yi Zhonghai defended himself, they still insisted on searching Yi Zhonghai's home and Qinhuai Ru's home.

The search naturally yielded nothing.

It cannot be said that nothing was gained.

Nothing was found in Yi Zhonghai's house. Yi Zhonghai's salary was not enough to spend, so he carried all the money with him. As for the aunt, he did not dare to keep the money left by the deaf old lady with him, but hid it in a place that no one knew.

In the Jia family, a lot of things were found, including Jia Zhang's pension and Qin Huairu's private treasury.

Jia Zhang's pension is about 500 yuan, and Qin Huairu's secret fund is also more than 300 yuan.

When the aunt heard this, her face turned very ugly. Qin Huairu cried poor in their house all day, but Qin Huairu had more money than their family. She remembered the instructions of the deaf old lady before her death, and she was more determined to hide the money.

The people in the courtyard were also very surprised. Qin Huairu made money so quickly. The Jia family had lost money several times, and two widows actually had so much property. This was beyond their imagination.

Yi Zhonghai, on the other hand, did not change his expression much when he heard that Qin Huairu had money. He had long known that the two widows of the Jia family had money. He was not a fool, and he could not hide whether Qin Huairu was really poor or just pretending to be poor.

Wang Kun didn't care about these things, but was thinking about how to solve the gold bar issue. Since Yi Zhonghai had set his sights on the gold bars, he would not give up easily. It was really troublesome to be watched by him all the time.

Ran Qiuye walked to Wang Kun with some concern, and Wang Kun shook his head at her, indicating that everything was fine.

The people from the street office came over and said, "Yi Zhonghai, think carefully, does the deaf old lady have any gold bars?"

At this point, Yi Zhonghai had no way out and said firmly that there was.

But the deaf old lady's house was searched thoroughly and nothing was found.

Wang Kun asked, "Did you search the roof, the ground, and outside the house? Fortunately, I didn't go into the house, otherwise, I would have a hard time explaining it. Director Wang, you must give me an explanation, otherwise I won't dare to keep this house."

As soon as Wang Kun finished speaking, the faces of two deputy directors turned ugly. The two jobs at the rolling mill ended up in their hands and were given to relatives at home. If Wang Kun didn't want the house, the rolling mill would naturally not recognize the two jobs. How could they explain to those relatives?

"Search carefully, leaving no corner untouched."

The house was so small, and the leaders were keeping a close eye on it, so the staff from the street office searched every corner and finally found the place.

After receiving the report, everyone looked over there curiously. As a result, when they took out the gold bars, they found that they were brass.

The people in the subdistrict office were all unhappy. They thought it was a big case, but it turned out to be a small one.

Everyone glared at Yi Zhonghai angrily: "Is this the gold bar you were talking about?"

Yi Zhonghai was hit harder than them and kept muttering "It's impossible".

The people from the subdistrict office said angrily: "Since you say it's impossible, then hand over the gold bars."

Of course Yi Zhonghai had no way of handing over the gold bars, so the matter ended up being left unresolved.

But it's not over yet.

If the gold bars were not mentioned, no one would think of it. But once it was mentioned, people would think of it. After that, everyone in the courtyard secretly watched Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu.

Ran Qiuye said angrily: "This deaf old lady doesn't even tell the truth. She even lied to us. If Yu Shui didn't tell us, and there was trouble later, wouldn't we be blamed?"

Wang Kun persuaded, "Forget it. She's dead, there's no need to bother with her. The house happened to be messed up by the people from the street office, let's just find someone to clean it up."

Ran Qiuye had no choice but to nod and figure out how to spend the family’s money and how to decorate the house.

Because the street office was in charge of the renovation, they were able to handle the renovation procedures very smoothly. When Wang Kun's house was being renovated, the people in the yard stood outside and watched like supervisors.

Their idea was simple: they had to see with their own eyes whether there were any gold bars.

The result is naturally none.

Wang Kun ignored those people, renovated the house, and took advantage of the sports to buy a lot of mahogany furniture at a low price. When renovating, he specially asked the master to reinforce the doors and windows to prevent thieves and people in the courtyard.

This is what he did openly. In secret, Wang Kun got a lot of antique calligraphy and paintings and secretly placed them in the house. (End of this chapter)
