Siheyuan: Steel Mill Engineer

Chapter 87 Processing
"Everyone has heard about the two brothers-in-law of Xu Damao's family molesting Qin Huairu in the backyard, right?" Yi Zhonghai said.

"How dare you tease women in broad daylight? What are you trying to do? Are you going to wait until night to break into their homes and kill people? Huh?" Yi Zhonghai said while knocking on the table.

"The three of us have discussed this matter. We absolutely will not allow such black sheep to exist in our compound. What's more, they are not residents of our compound, nor are they workers of the steel mill, so they must be dealt with seriously." Yi Zhonghai said.

"That's right. For the safety of our entire compound, this black sheep must be cleared out. There is no room for negotiation on this matter." Liu Haizhong followed.

"Although it may sound a bit inhumane, let's put ourselves in their shoes. There is nothing wrong with seeking refuge with relatives, and we can all understand that. But we cannot tolerate seeing people doing evil," Yan Bugui also expressed his opinion.

"Yes, what the three gentlemen said makes sense."

"That's right. If he can tease Qin Huairu today, who knows what he might do tomorrow!"

"That's right, that's right. Our compound is full of working-class families. If we're not home for a while..."

The onlookers had a clear attitude towards this matter. Since the three uncles in charge had said so, it would be right to follow them.

"Okay, everyone, calm down for a moment. Now that two people have been tied up, our suggestion is to call the police. Hooliganism is a serious crime." Yi Zhonghai said, pressing his hand.

Qin Huairu's idea was very simple. She was a widow anyway, and the other party had not caused her any substantial harm. So in order to establish her authority, Qin Huairu was really determined to give it her all. She had to compromise today, and no one knew what would happen next.

There was nothing wrong with what both of them said, but Liu Haizhong was more concerned about establishing the prestige of his second uncle, while Yi Zhonghai was concerned about the valuable things in Yang Zhenyu's house.

"No, these two people have now seriously threatened the safety of the compound." Liu Haizhong said very seriously.

"Old Yi is right, this is a serious crime. But we still have to respect the opinions of the parties involved. Qin Huairu, do you have anything to say?" Liu Haizhong followed.

"No, he must be severely punished!" Qin Huairu shook her head.

"No, absolutely not!" Xu Damao's wife Wu Caijuan said firmly.

"Well, Qin Huairu's meaning is very clear. We should respect her opinion. Lao Yi, what do you think?" Yan Bugui said.

"Well, what Lao Liu said is right. There are many women in our compound, and it does pose a threat to the security of our compound. This is no small problem. What do you think?" Yi Zhonghai nodded.

"Considering that this is his first offense, can you please not call the police?" Xu Damao said through gritted teeth.

I definitely don't want to do that, but there's no other way. I have to consider the situation at home no matter what.

Another thing is that Xu Damao was afraid of being beaten because these two grandsons were such inhuman beings.

The onlookers in the compound also agreed to call the police, as they didn't want to suffer any losses.

"Xu Damao, do you have anything to say?" Yi Zhonghai said directly.

It is definitely true that these two people threaten the security of the compound. If we keep these two troubles, they might become a time bomb one day and cause a big disaster to the compound.

Is it true that Xu Damao was willing to let them stay in the compound?

"Why not? Damao's family, your two brothers have done such things, which makes us feel very insecure in our compound. Moreover, this matter is also very serious. It's not something you can just say no to. It should be handled by the police." Yi Zhonghai looked at Wu Caijuan and said.

"I, this..." Wu Caijuan was a little confused.

Coming from the countryside to the city, Xu Damao could provide him with food and clothing, but there was still a difference between the city and the countryside. "Old Yi is right, this is not a trivial matter. If it was a petty theft, it would be fine if he paid compensation. But molesting women is a serious crime. Some time ago, he was shot for hooliganism." Liu Haizhong said, adding fuel to the fire.

"Da Mao, please speak quickly." Wu Caijuan said, pulling Xu Damao's arm.

"What can I say? What did I say before? If you come to the city, you should live well, but you ended up getting into trouble. Now, just wait for the police to handle it." Xu Damao said with a dark face.

For Xu Damao, going to jail didn't have much to do with him, but it was true that this incident made him lose face in the compound. It was so damn embarrassing.

"Okay, the matter has been settled. Go and ask the police to come over." Liu Haizhong waved his hand to interrupt the conversation between Xu Damao and his wife.

"Zhenyu, do you know the details of this incident?" He Yuzhu leaned towards Yang Zhenyu and asked.

"Didn't they say that those two guys teased Qin Huairu? So, do you have any inside information?" Yang Zhenyu asked.

"No, I'm just curious, so I asked you. After all, an old lady at home must know something." He Yuzhu shook his head and said.

Yang Zhenyu still knew something. According to an old lady, the two men were just flirting with each other verbally. Before they could take any action, they were stopped and then tied up by young people who came after hearing the noise.

Although there was no substantial harm, the fact of hooliganism is an established fact. In this day and age, verbal teasing constitutes the crime of hooliganism. If it is caught in a severe crackdown, the person will be dragged out and shot.

According to rumors, a young man who whistled at a female comrade was sent to labor camp for several months.

"Hey, now that's good, this kid Xu Damao has brought disgrace upon himself in the compound. Let's see how he can show off later." He Yuzhu said happily.

"Being embarrassed is a small matter. How can you hold your head up in the future? Can you bear it?" Yang Zhenyu said.

"Yes, that's right. If it were me, I would definitely send them back to their hometown. But once they are infected, it will be hard to say for sure. They might not be able to get out in this lifetime." He Yuzhu said.

"That shouldn't be the case. I feel like it will be just a few months of labor reform at most. If you behave well, maybe you can get out early." Yang Zhenyu said.

"That also gave them a lesson so that they wouldn't cheat others in the future. Xu Damao was cheated badly." He Yuzhu thought for a while and nodded.

"Well, although Xu Damao is a little bit weird, he hasn't done anything harmful to others. These two people are really good-for-nothings." Yang Zhenyu nodded and said.

"Who said it wasn't true? Look at Xu Damao's dark face." He Yuzhu said.

After a while, the police came.

After questioning, they took a statement and then took the two people away.

As for what happens next, it still needs to be tried in court.

If there really is any substantial infringement, they will be given a public trial, and that will be a grand scene.

Half of the people in the city would go to watch the fun.

This is also a way to publicize the law and deter criminals, but if the case is not particularly bad, it is not necessary to do so.
