According to regulations, people like He Yuzhu, who are considered ordinary urban residents, are only entitled to a monthly ration of 8 jin (4 catties).
Xu Damao pretended to be surprised and said, "Wow, so little? Who's going to eat that?"
"Do you have a lot of flour?" He Yuzhu knew that Xu Damao was up to no good, so he casually added a comment.
Xu Damao said with some pride, "He Yuzhu, aren't you envious? I'm a full-time employee at the steel rolling mill now, and I get an 18-jin ration every month!"
The steel rolling mill also implemented public-private partnership ahead of schedule this year. After all, the steel industry belongs to heavy industry, and it is currently the first five-year plan, which is an industry that is being focused on for development.
Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill is now under the jurisdiction of Beijing Iron and Steel General Plant, and according to the sequence, it belongs to the Third Steel Rolling Mill.
For companies with more than 100 employees, each employee has a purchase quota of 18 jin (9 catties), which is far higher than He Yuzhu's quota of 8 jin (4 catties).
He Yuzhu then realized that Xu Damao had stayed behind to show off his superiority!
To be fair, Xu Damao found a good breakthrough. Whether it was comparing real estate or family wealth, Xu Damao was completely defeated.
Recently, flour purchase restrictions were implemented, and He Yuzhu's ration was only 8 jin (4 catties). In this respect, He Yuzhu was not as good as Xu Damao.
Looking at Xu Damao's smug face, He Yuzhu smiled and asked, "Do you think 18 jin of flour is a lot?"
Xu Damao said smugly, "18 jin isn't much, but it's more than double your 8 jin ration. That's 36 jin of flour for Dad and me."
Then he deliberately asked, "What's wrong? Are you not having enough to eat? How about I share some with you?"
"Forget it, you might have forgotten something," He Yuzhu said with a smile.
Xu Damao asked curiously, "What's the matter?"
He Yuzhu laughed and said, "You've forgotten, haven't you? I still have to sell steamed buns!"
"What's wrong?" Xu Damao suddenly had a bad feeling.
He Yuzhu said, "Nothing much. I get a daily ration of 100 jin (50 catties). Do you think I would go hungry?"
"What? A ration of 100 jin?" Xu Damao hadn't thought of this before, and then said, "That's for you to sell steamed buns, how can you eat it all yourself?"
"You idiot Mao, can't I use my own money to buy my own steamed buns?"
"you..."
Xu Damao was speechless with frustration. He snorted, then, too ashamed to stay, he turned around and went inside to find his mother.
Seeing that Xu Wude could leave work normally, He Yuzhu thought that there was no point in getting anything today and that he couldn't watch the show anymore. He locked the door and turned to go back. At this moment, Tie Dan walked in from outside with four police officers.
Yan Bugui and Liu Gen's mother, who were in the front yard, were all startled. Yan Bugui muttered to himself, "Has Jia Dongxu done something wrong again? Are they here to arrest him?"
When Tie Dan saw He Yuzhu, he asked, "What are you doing here?"
He Yuzhu pointed to the house behind him and said, "I came here today to tidy up the house. I didn't say anything nonsense."
Tie Dan nodded, then asked, "Is he behind me?"
He Yuzhu said, "Yes, I've already gotten off work and come back."
"Okay, I've got the arrest warrant."
After asking around, Tie Dan returned to the police station to report to his superiors. Based on the facts, Xu Wude was a prime suspect.
After an afternoon discussion of the case, an arrest warrant for Xu Wude was finally issued.
They called the steel mill to confirm that Xu Wude had already left work normally before bringing people to the courtyard to arrest him.
He Yuzhu said, "His house is in the west wing of the backyard. Do you want me to show you the way?"
"No need, let's go inside. We can talk about it later."
Yan Bugui quickly walked over to He Yuzhu and whispered, "Zhuzi, did you report Jia Dongxu? Is this the place to arrest him?"
This is a criminal record. Jia Dongxu has been to the police station twice since he got married, and ended up in jail both times. It was rumored that He Yuzhu reported him both times, but no one had any evidence.
He Yuzhu said, "Uncle Yan, I usually respect you quite a bit. You can't just talk nonsense. This isn't about arresting Jia Dongxu. Besides, I didn't report him for going to jail."
"Yes, yes, sir, I misspoke. So, who are you reporting for arrest?"
Although Yan Bugui apologized, his expression betrayed him; he didn't believe He Yuzhu's explanation at all.
He Yuzhu said, "This time it really has nothing to do with me, so just relax and watch the show."
"Alright, alright, I'll watch the show, grandpa."
At this time, everyone's windows were open in the summer. When they saw the police officers enter the courtyard, they all came out of their houses and followed them inside.
Everyone from the Intermediate People's Court was present, and they were all somewhat surprised to see the police officers enter. The one who reacted the fastest was Jia Dongxu, after all, he had been to prison twice, and right now his biggest fear was encountering the police officers.
Upon seeing it, I stood up to bow, but only halfway up my hand did I remember that I was no longer in prison.
My second thought was, "Are the police here to arrest me? But I haven't broken any laws!"
Is it illegal to buy rice for someone else?
Then Jia Dongxu turned around and darted into the house, regardless of whether it was true or not, he just wanted to hide.
Granny Zhang, who was standing nearby, also realized what was happening and rushed forward, shouting, "You people are all bad people! What bad things has Dongxu done? Why are you arresting him?"
Qin Huairu, her eyes brimming with tears, said aggrievedly, "Police officers, you must investigate thoroughly. Dongxu has been behaving himself lately and hasn't done anything wrong."
Tie Dan was stunned by the scolding. Well, is this some kind of persecution complex? This time they're not here to arrest Jia Dongxu, what's wrong with them?
"Auntie, we're not here to arrest Jia Dongxu; we're here on other official business."
"They didn't arrest our Dongxu?" Granny Zhang asked again, still a little uneasy.
"Don't worry, we're not arresting him. He didn't do anything wrong, why would we arrest him?"
Tie Dan was a little puzzled as to why Jia Dongxu turned around and ran into the house as soon as he saw him, but now was not the time to worry about that. He should hurry to the backyard and capture Xu Wude.
"Are you sure they're not arresting our Dongxu?"
"really not."
Amid the commotion, Yi Zhonghai came out of the house, holding a pack of Shuangdao brand cigarettes, and offered them some.
"Comrade Sun Tie, I am Yi Zhonghai, the caretaker of the compound. We've dealt with each other before. What brings you here today?"
Sun Tie didn't accept the cigarette, but instead blocked it with his hand, saying, "I'm on official business, I don't smoke."
Yi Zhonghai didn't continue to be modest and asked, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
Sun Tie thought to himself, "The biggest help you can give is for none of you to jump out and cause trouble."
"No need, we're going to the backyard."
Yi Zhonghai smiled and said, "This way, please."
As they were talking, he led the way and took them into the backyard.
After observing Yi Zhonghai's behavior, Yan Bugui realized that he was also a senior figure in the management office. Why hadn't he thought to help earlier? No wonder Yi Zhonghai was so influential in the factory and the courtyard.
Yi Zhonghai is the one who knows how to handle things.
He Yuzhu said, "See? That's the difference. Uncle Yan, you're still a bit lacking."
"Hmph, what is that? Old Yi is just flattering us. We scholars don't do such things."
He Yuzhu shook his head and said no more. He greeted Wen Yuping who came out, explained a few words, and then they went into the backyard together.
There were quite a few people in the backyard, chatting in the yard. They were all surprised to see the police officers. Xu Wude didn't expect them to be there to arrest him and was still standing there, wanting to greet the police officers.
Seeing that Xu Wude greeted him, Sun Tie smiled and said, "Uncle Xu, have you eaten?"
The four police officers behind him moved slowly and then surrounded the Xu family.
At this moment, Xu Wude did not realize that they were there to arrest him, and said with a smile, "Not yet. Are you here on a mission or to investigate the situation? Is there anything I can help you with?"
"Yes, there's something I'd like to ask you for help with."
"What's going on?" Xu Wude suddenly felt something was wrong; why were five police officers surrounding him?
Sun Tie shouted, "Make your move!"
Four comrades rushed forward, with one of them lunging forward and pinning Xu Wude to the ground. Then two of them grabbed his arms behind his back, and the last one handcuffed him from behind.
Sun Tie then said, "Comrade Xu Wude, there's something I need to trouble you with. Come back to the police station with us!"
Chapter 134 This really wasn't me.
Everyone in the courtyard was stunned. They thought it was just a routine visit and investigation, and nothing serious had happened. They never expected that Xu Wude would be arrested.
A while ago, Jia Dongxu went to jail twice, becoming the only troublemaker in the courtyard. Unexpectedly, after only a few days of peace, Xu Wude also committed a crime, which was truly shocking.
Considering the despicable things Xu Wude did, it's understandable that he was arrested. He had previously been involved in grain trafficking and reselling for profit, and he almost ended up in the police station.
A few days ago, everyone was saying that Hugh Wood was having an affair with a widow. Could it be that this matter came to light and someone reported it?
Xu Wude was terrified, his hands trembling. He never thought he would be arrested and imprisoned. He shouldn't have beaten Yi Zhonghai up. Yi Zhonghai must have reported his affair with the widow. Otherwise, why would the police come to arrest him?
Turning around, she gritted her teeth and said to Yi Zhonghai, "Yi Zhonghai, you despicable scoundrel, you actually reported me?"
"I didn't, it wasn't me, don't talk nonsense, I didn't report you at all." Yi Zhonghai's speech was a little slurred, and he still hadn't had his missing tooth replaced.
"It was you, only you would report me." Xu Wude was furious. That damned Yi Zhonghai, it was all his doing behind the scenes that made him spend 1000 yuan to settle things with Cheng Dayuan, and now he has the nerve to report him.
Yi Zhonghai was filled with bitterness. He hadn't reported Xu Wude's case himself, and no matter how he explained, Xu Wude wouldn't listen.
It's really awful to be wrongly accused!
