My courtyard shelter

After lunch, Xu Dong went back to work.

As soon as he made tea, Li Yanyi came over with the child, both the adult and the child were crying.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Xu Dong stood up and asked.

"Chief Xu, the child's father has been sentenced to five years in prison. We really can't survive." Li Yanyi hugged the children and cried loudly.

"Wuwuwu..." The three children were influenced by their mother and started crying.

After half a month of recuperation, the three siblings had grown a lot of flesh on their faces, at least they no longer looked like bean sprouts.

Xu Dong had a headache, this was a matter of time.

"Okay, don't cry first, I'll ask about this for you."

After that, he went out and called Officer Sun.

The call was quickly connected, and Xu Dong got straight to the point: "Officer Sun, I heard that Zhang Zhensong's case has been sentenced?"

"Yes, it was just sentenced this morning, what's wrong?"

"Alas, Zhang Zhensong's wife and children are crying miserably here, is there any room for maneuver in this matter?"

Officer Sun sighed: "Zhang Zhensong can steal anything, but he has to go to your power company to steal things. The nature of this case is different, and a sentence of five years is considered light."

"So, there is nothing you can do?"

"The case has been sentenced, what else can you do? Go in and actively reform, maybe you can get out two years early."

"What about his wife and children?" Xu Dong said helplessly.

"Didn't we agree before? After a month, let the three children go directly to the Children's Bureau. His wife is an adult with hands and feet, and there is no problem in supporting herself." Officer Sun replied.

"Well, Officer Sun, I have arranged many people to persuade them these days. I have tried all means, but it didn't work at all.

That Li Yanyi is a stubborn person. I am afraid that if I force her to separate from the child, someone might die. We can't help the evil, right?

Besides, the child's father has been in prison. If the mother is gone, the family will be broken up. It's too pitiful. Can you think of another way?"

Xu Dong pleaded earnestly.

Officer Sun was silent for a moment, "Chief Xu, we really have no choice. Otherwise, let Li Yanyi continue to work in your company. It's a delay. Maybe she will figure it out herself."

"How can this be done? Do you think our company is a charity organization? The leaders will never agree to it. If this is possible, the threshold of our company would have been trampled by thieves long ago."

Xu Dong had discussed this matter with Chief Li before. According to the leaders' intentions, it was impossible to let the four people stay. Being able to take them in for a month is already the greatest humanitarian concern.

In short, when the time comes, just kick him out.

"Chief Xu, there's nothing we can do about it." The bureau really can't help.

Xu Dong confirmed it again, and finally had to hang up the phone helplessly.

Returning to the office, Li Yanyi asked with expectation:

"Chief Xu, how is it?"

Xu Dong shook his head: "The case has been sentenced and can't be changed. You can only ask your husband to behave actively in prison and strive for a reduction in sentence. Maybe he can be released in two or three years."

Li Yanyi collapsed on the ground, and the three children kept calling "Mom" and "Mom" beside her.

After about ten minutes, Li Yanyi seemed to have accepted the reality. She got up and asked cautiously:

"Chief Xu, can I continue to work in the canteen? I can accept a lower salary."

Xu Dong really didn't want to deprive the other party of the last bit of hope, so he could only nod against his will and comforted: "Don't worry, I will talk to the leader for you."

Li Yanyi finally smiled a little:

"Thank you, thank you! Daya and Erya, thank your uncle."

"Thank you, uncle!"

After sending Li Yanyi and her three children away, Xu Dong knocked on the door of Chief Li's office.

"Come in."

"Uncle Li, it's me."

Chief Li looked up at Xu Dong and frowned, saying: "Who came just now? Why are you crying and making a fuss?"

"It's Li Yanyi, the thief's wife."

"It's her. Isn't she working in the canteen? What's the matter with you?" Chief Li asked.

Xu Dong briefly introduced the whole thing.

Section Chief Li shook his head: "It is definitely not possible for her to stay. This is a matter of principle and there is no room for negotiation."

"Uncle Li, what should we do? Are we really going to watch their family fall apart?" Xu Dong said with a wry smile.

"Don't you have a company in your family? Just let her go to your company." Section Chief Li suggested.

Xu Dong slapped his head. How could he forget this? However, Li Yanyi has no special skills. She can only clean the house in her own company, which does not earn her much salary.

"Uncle Li, our family's salary level is not high, and we can't pay her much."

"It doesn't matter if the money is a little less. When the time comes, let Director Du apply for a temporary residence permit for them, and then apply for some kind of subsidy for poor households. It will definitely be enough for daily life." Section Chief Li added.

"It's not easy to get a temporary residence permit now. I heard that the conditions are quite strict." Xu Dong reminded.

Section Chief Li said angrily: "No matter how difficult it is, it has to be done. This matter is originally their responsibility, but in the end, it is directly pushed on our heads."

"Then I will call Officer Sun when I go back."

Section Chief Li immediately waved his hand: "No, I will call Director Du in person. Your words don't carry enough weight. Even if they verbally agree, I don't know when they will delay it."

"No way?"

"Okay, leave this matter to me. You can talk to your father later. Don't be too anxious. Wait until the temporary residence permit is issued, and then you can take her to report."

"Okay!" Xu Dong nodded.

...

After get off work, Xu Dong went to the temporary warehouse. The warehouse lease will expire in a few days, and he must hurry up.

Originally, the move should have been completed last week, but I didn't expect to encounter overtime and directly delayed it to the end of the month.

There were only more than 30 bags of rice left in the warehouse. Xu Dong directly loaded more than 10 bags this time. He planned to move all of them in three days.

When he got home, it was almost eleven o'clock.

"Why is it so late again? What did you do?" Yang Lina complained.

"It's almost the end of the month, and there is still a little rice left. I have to transport it back quickly." Xu Dong explained.

Yang Lina suddenly asked nervously: "Did you encounter any danger on the road?"

"It's okay. I installed a police light on the roof of my car. No one dares to trouble me."

Xu Dong specially asked Director Du for the police light. When he sent Xiao Xiao and Da Tou home, he was checked several times along the way. Later, he simply installed the police light, which saved a lot of trouble.

Yang Lina then discovered that there was indeed an extra police light on her car.

"Do I have to return this light in the future?"

"As long as I don't resign, this light is legal. Don't forget that I am now half a policeman."
