Scholars in the courtyard

Noon, Director’s Office

Sun Guo sat here calmly, not moving all morning.

Wang Guodong, who usually liked to make fun of him, also sat quietly.

Ahead, Xu Yuanshan was leaning against the window, the cigarette in his hand never extinguishing.

The eerie and quiet atmosphere continued, waiting for the arrival of the Terminator.

Da da

Finally, footsteps were heard outside the door, and everyone's hearts immediately started to lift.

Then the door was pushed open, and Zhao Chuanjun, the security section chief, walked in with a serious face, followed by officer Wang Hao.

"Director Xu, the matter is clear."

Xu Yuanshan turned his head and said, "Let's talk about it."

"According to the identification of the iron plate we brought back from the hospital, it was punched out by the rolling mill of our factory. Jia Dongxu must have stolen it. There is no doubt that it was."

As he said this, Wang Hao handed over several appraisal reports, all of which were guaranteed by experienced masters.

"Moreover, after our visit and investigation, we found that Jia Dongxu repeatedly stole steel from the steel rolling mill workshop by carrying it, and then resold it for money through his family, his mother Zhang Erniu and his wife Qin Huairu."

"According to reports from comrades at the acquisition point, the family has been going on for two or three months."

"We suspect this is an organized, gang-like, habitual offender. It should be severely punished."

Xu Yuanshan listened quietly, and the directors in the room also said nothing.

"How are you doing?"

"People were still in danger when we went there."

Section Chief Zhao remembered the scene when he went to the hospital. That family was really...

"According to the doctor's advice, the leg needs to be amputated, otherwise the condition will continue to worsen. It will also cost a lot of money for rehabilitation. I think that family is not easy to get along with."

Xu Yuanshan took out a cigarette, lit it, and said nothing.

Sun Guo listened quietly. This person was from their workshop. As the workshop director, he had an unshirkable responsibility for such a theft of state property. Moreover, it has not been discovered for so long. This is a serious breach of responsibility. .

"Director, it was my negligence in management. I am willing to take responsibility for the impact this incident has had on the factory."

Sun Guo said with an annoyed expression. Wang Guodong on the side wanted to stand up and say a few words to the old man, but was held back by someone on the side.

Didn’t you see that Xu Yuanshan was angry? At this time, the best way is to retreat and take responsibility.

Xu Yuanshan interrupted Sun Guo, "Now is not the time to hold people accountable. What matters now is how to characterize Jia Dongxu's situation, how the steel rolling mill needs to treat it, how to deal with the aftermath, including how to avoid the situation from happening again in the future."

Everyone was silent.

Zhao Chuanjun looked around and thought deeply. This matter has been going on for so long, and their security department has never discovered it, which is also a serious dereliction of duty.

When the time comes, it will be their responsibility.

I feel even more disgusted with this guy Jia Dongxu.

As the chief of the Security Section, he needs to stand in the public eye and express his opinions.

"Jia Dongxu's behavior is a serious illegal theft."

"As accomplices, the Jia family must be held accountable."

In one sentence, he has already explained his attitude.

Since it is an illegal act, the steel rolling mill does not need to be responsible for Jia Dongxu's future affairs, and may even increase the Jia family's guilt.

Everyone knew clearly that once the situation was determined like this, Jia Dongxu would be doomed.

Even if he is rescued, he will no longer have a job. If he becomes disabled and loses his job, the family will be finished.

But no one spoke for Jia Dongxu.

Because this is from the perspective of the steel rolling mill and the country, no one dares to object.

Everyone looked at Xu Yuanshan. The only person on the scene who had the ability to make a decision was him.

Xu Yuanshan finished his cigarette and walked out without saying a word. When he reached the door, he said to Sun Guo, "On behalf of the steel rolling mill, go and have a look."

Sun Guo was stunned for a moment, then nodded solemnly.

When the steel rolling mill got off work, Yang Xiaotao pushed the car back, trying to get home early and send Qiu Ye back to the village.

As soon as I walked into the courtyard, I met the third uncle Yan Fugui.

"Xiao Tao, there is a hospital-wide meeting tonight."

"I'm going back tonight to celebrate New Year's Day. If you have anything to say, let me know."

Yang Xiaotao has already thought about tonight's meeting, but he also has a valid reason and wants to leave here just in time to avoid being kidnapped by this group of moral masters.

Yan Fugui obviously saw Yang Xiaotao's plan, and it was obvious that he didn't want to get involved in the compound's affairs.

He also knew the content of tonight's meeting. It must be a donation to the Jia family. Thinking of their family's debt, he wanted to find a reason to leave, but as the third uncle of the courtyard, he really couldn't do it.

"Xiao Tao, we all understand and won't play riddles."

"This conference was initiated by Mr. Jia to raise money for the Jia family. You don't know, Jia Dongxu is going to have surgery. I heard that both legs will be cut off. This is a lot of money."

"Listen to what Third Master said, it doesn't matter how much you fight at other times. At this time, people are already like this, so don't add insult to injury."

"Spend some money and buy peace of mind."

Yang Xiaotao glared at Yan Fugui, making Yan Fugui tremble.

"Oh, you are really good at persuading people."

"Do you want peace of mind? It's like Jia Dongxu has something to do with me. Third uncle, if you can't speak, don't say anything. It's easy to offend people."

"I don't care if I offend others, but if you disgust me, don't say I didn't remind you."

Yang Xiaotao was not happy when he heard this. What if he didn't donate the money to repay it?

Bullshit.

How could Jia Dongxu be like this if he didn't steal things from the steel rolling mill?

Everything has a cause and a result, and you deserve it.

Yan Fugui immediately cried out after hearing this, "Why can't you just listen to me?"

"As the old saying goes, the dead are the most important, this..."

"Okay, he's not dead yet."

Yang Xiaotao waved his hand and walked inside. He stopped halfway and said, "Otherwise, I would just be a resident in this courtyard, and there would be three of your uncles above. You three uncles are our role models. You will take this opportunity this time." As much as it is, my family will take it, will you win?”

Yan Fugui felt distressed as he listened, "Xiao Tao, this is wrong. You alone earn more than our whole family. This"

"That's it. I'm leaving now. I'm in a hurry to go back. You can just say so when the meeting is held tonight, and I'll get double portions then."

"Come back in time and I'll make up for you."

With that said, Yang Xiaotao drove towards the middle courtyard.

As for tomorrow, let’s talk about tomorrow.

Ask him to donate money to Jia Dongxu?

Haha~

"Daughter-in-law, are you ready?"

Yang Xiaotao walked into the yard, saw Ran Qiuye still reading, and asked.

Ran Qiuye turned around, stood up and put the book on the bookshelf, and said with some embarrassment, "Xiao Tao, just now the aunt in the courtyard came over and said that there is a meeting tonight. I"

"Don't worry about her, they drive their own car, we drive ours. Just listen to their nonsense here."

Yang Xiaotao said, and then started to pack things.

Seeing this, Ran Qiuye took a deep breath, but said nothing.

Now that Yang Xiaotao has made a decision, she can follow her husband's wishes.

The two of them packed up. Ran Qiuye dressed tightly and brought some daily necessities. It is estimated that there will be winter vacation next week, and the next time he goes back will be the New Year, so he brought a lot of things.

The two hung the things on the car, then led Ran Qiuye and Wangcai out of the yard.

Everyone in the courtyard is preparing dinner, and many people are still talking about the Jia family. After all, it is a big event in this courtyard.

People coming out of the steel rolling mill were discussing how Jia Dongxu would deal with it. After all, as a thief, he would be arrested even if he was cured.

It's just like this. What's the use of catching him? Maybe he can get rid of the burden after entering the Jia family.

Then there was a discussion that Jia Dongxu would definitely not be able to do the job, so who would take up this position?

Among the men in the Jia family, there is only one who has not yet gone to school. What can he do if he gets in?

As for women, it seems that Jia Zhang is not capable of working, and Qin Huairu still has one in her belly, and it won’t be until next year at least.

Everyone was talking a lot, and happened to see Yang Xiaotao and Ran Qiuye walking out.

I was surprised, and then I figured it out, this Yang Xiaotao is really cruel.

He knew that there would be a meeting tonight to donate money to the Jia family, but he was out of sight and out of mind. As expected, he had been ruthless.

Yang Xiaotao ignored everyone's gazes and led Ran Qiuye to the front yard. Then he saw the third uncle talking to Silly Zhu.

Si Zhu came back from the hospital and was about to make some food to take to Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang. Now the two of them are accompanying each other outside the ward. At least this way, it is morally sound and prevents others from finding fault.

The two of them were talking and sighing.

Yang Xiaotao led Ran Qiuye out, without looking at him, and directly asked Ran Qiuye to get in the car and leave.

Seeing this posture, Shazhu immediately understood what these two people were going to do.

When I was in the hospital, I discussed with my uncle the goal of donating money for tonight’s conference.

They inquired and found out that this time Jia Dongxu's amputation, hospitalization, medical expenses, etc. would cost more than 200 yuan in total.

Not to mention that the Jia family couldn't afford such a sum of money, even Yi Zhonghai was short of money.

Especially after the commotion over the heater, Yi Zhonghai's family fortune was almost empty. If it hadn't been for this month's salary, he wouldn't have been able to afford the hospital stay.

Therefore, I decided to target the people in the courtyard, even if it wasn't much, it could help the emergency. We would wait for the results of the steel rolling mill to come out and then take a look at the situation.

In the calculations of several people, Yang Xiaotao, as the richest man in the courtyard, was naturally the number one target. How would the people in the courtyard think if he still gave away a dime in such a matter of life and death?

But now, this guy wants to leave?

Silly Zhu's eyes widened, and he really couldn't understand why Yang Xiaotao was so shameless.

Seeing Yang Xiaotao walking by, Shazhu unexpectedly stretched out his hand to pull the car. With a righteous look on his face, he raised his head and asked, "Yang Xiaotao, you don't know about the meeting tonight?"

"The Jia family is like this, can't you have some love? Thanks to Sister Qin for taking care of you two, can't you be a human being? Do you know how to repay your kindness?"

When Yang Xiaotao saw Silly Zhu, he had no intention of paying attention to him. If Jia Dongxu left, it would be time for this idiot to bleed. But now, Jia Dongxu hasn't left yet, and he has already started licking him?

Seeing the car being pulled, Yan Fugui's mouth turned up, and Yang Xiaotao didn't hesitate.

He raised his foot and kicked Shazhu in the chest.

"I have to tell you where I'm going. Who do you think I am?"

"Repaying kindness, but your eyes are growing on your butt? Can you see?"

Silly Zhu hit the door frame, his chest didn't hurt much, but he was startled.

I can't beat this guy.

Ran Qiuye glanced at Silly Zhu and wondered whether this person was really enthusiastic or had a weak head. He was old and didn't want to start a family and start a business. He spent all day yelling in the courtyard and felt how glorious he was.

Don't understand.

Maybe this silly column is really right.

After getting in the car, Yang Xiaotao rode out of the alley.

Silly Zhu didn't say a word, staring at Yang Xiaotao until he disappeared.

Yan Fugui was stunned and recognized Yang Xiaotao's "unreasonableness" again.

This kind of person is also the least able to calculate, because the prerequisite for calculation is that both parties abide by the rules.

As for Yang Xiaotao, it is obviously not something that can be trapped by rules.

Silly Zhu suffered the loss and didn't say much. He returned home and started cooking.

In the evening, Yi Zhonghai came back from the hospital, along with Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu.

As for Jia Dongxu, who has not yet passed the critical period, he is still unconscious in bed, waiting for surgery to amputate his limbs. However, Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu have refused to sign, so the operation can only be postponed.

Of course, the Jia and Zhang family did not sign, mainly because they had no money.

When they returned to the courtyard, they heard Silly Zhu talking about Yang Xiaotao leaving the courtyard, and Mrs. Jia and Zhang were even more angry.

Qin Huairu was already heartbroken, and she burst into tears after hearing this, which made Si Zhu feel heartbroken.

"Master, are you still open?"

Yi Zhonghai, who had never smoked, was holding a cigarette for the first time. Sparks flickered in the dark night, and he coughed twice from time to time.

"open!"

After saying this, Yi Zhonghai closed his eyes and said, "It's better if we don't have this guy, so we don't have to make trouble."

Qin Huairu listened and nodded silently.

The sadness from before has also dissipated a lot.
