Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

Page 468

"Officer Guan, what case do you have here?"

"Master Yi, you are also the manager of this courtyard house, but why didn't you stop people from forcibly occupying private houses?"

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai knew that He Yuzhu had invited the police officers into the courtyard.

“I tried to stop her, but Jia Zhangshi wouldn’t listen. You know what kind of person she is.”

Yi Zhonghai completely shirked his responsibility.

Instead, he turned around and questioned He Yuzhu: "Zhuzi, you can't be like this. Conflicts in the yard should be resolved in the yard."

He Yuzhu countered, "So, did you solve it for me?"

"But you can't just call the police, can you?"

"So if you don't resolve this for me, the house will just be given to Jia Zhangshi for nothing?"

Yi Zhonghai was at a loss for words. After all, the two police officers were still there, and He Yuzhu was no ordinary person. Ordinary words would have no effect on him.

He Yuzhu said, "The old man in charge of the courtyard was only mediating trivial matters, but what kind of behavior is Jia Zhangshi doing?"

"He forcibly seized a private house, even more arrogant and domineering than the bandits and tyrants of the past. As the head of the school, you didn't report it to the police immediately, and you still think you're in the right?"

Being a senior administrator at the university isn't an easy job. But if you have prestige among the people and they listen to you, it's quite a relaxed job.

But if one's words lack prestige and cannot convince others, and no one follows what one says, then one is neither a good person nor a bad one.

He Yuzhu was well aware of this; it was a thankless and arduous task.

Especially since there were no subsidies from the street authorities, he never managed to earn the title of "Grandpa Yi Zhonghai" from the management department.

Otherwise, He Daqing would have been appointed as the manager of the hospital long ago.

Everyday trivial matters are annoying enough. When the time comes, Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhangshi will definitely not give them any face and will cause trouble every day.

He Daqing had previously considered ousting Yi Zhonghai, but after He Yuzhu analyzed the situation for him, he abandoned the idea.

It would be better to be the head of the cafeteria right now, living a very comfortable life every day.

Yi Zhonghai was so angry that his face turned ashen and he couldn't say a word.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "This matter hasn't reached that outrageous point."

"It's not up to you to define what kind of situation this is. Please come with me to the back to take a look."

He Yuzhu directly asked the two police officers to walk to the back, and Yi Zhonghai followed behind, trying to help explain.

They said that Jia Zhangshi had just gotten divorced and was confused for a moment.

Guan Gong'an retorted, "She's over 40 years old, not a child. How could she be confused for a moment?"

At first, Jia Zhangshi was a little scared and afraid of He Yuzhu.

After waiting for a while, I felt relieved and started thinking about how to get some furniture to fill out the house so that I would have a place to stay in the future.

Then they saw He Yuzhu leading two police officers and a whole courtyard of neighbors over.

"What are you going to do?"

"Jia Zhangshi, you've forcibly occupied a house. Come with us!"

Chapter 333 Another Trouble

Without wasting any words, Guan Gong'an pulled out gleaming handcuffs from his waist and handcuffed the frightened Jia Zhangqu.

It was only at this point that everyone realized He Yuzhu was serious.

He remained silent, assuming that He Yuzhu couldn't win against Jia Zhangshi, but it turned out he had already planned ahead.

They didn't bother arguing with Jia Zhangshi at all, and directly called the police to handcuff her.

Jia Zhangzheng is still the same old Jia, isn't he? Whenever something is unfavorable to him, he throws a tantrum on the ground, yelling at the dead Jia.

"My dear old Jia, who died young, come quickly! Someone's bullying me..."

"My son who just died, how could you die so young? Now someone's already bullying us..."

Yi Zhonghai wanted to say something, but seeing the situation, he didn't say anything more.

If Jia Zhangshi's unreasonable arguments could be effective, then she could live in the house for free.

If it doesn't work, we should wait and see how things develop.

But Guan Gong'an said, "Fine, it's been ten years since liberation, and you're still indulging in these feudal superstitions?"

Two police officers immediately grabbed Zhang Cuihua's arms and dragged her outside.

Jia Zhangshi cried and screamed, lying on the ground, but she couldn't break free from the two men pulling her, and they dragged her directly from the house into the yard.

He Yuzhu pushed a cart over from the side, and two police officers put Jia Zhangshi directly onto the cart.

Jia Zhangshi tried to jump down, but the police took out another pair of handcuffs and cuffed her feet to the handlebars.

Then, by pulling on the other side of the cart, he secured his wrist at an angle to the cart.

Jia Zhangshi was cursing He Daqing's ancestors for eighteen generations when He Yuzhu stepped forward and slapped her across the face.

Jia Zhangshi cried out "Ouch!" and covered her mouth with her remaining hand, no longer uttering any more curses.

"He Yuzhu, how could you hit someone?" Yi Zhonghai jumped out again and shouted.

He Yuzhu said, "Yi Zhonghai, if you say that, then I'd stand in front of you and curse your ancestors for eighteen generations. Would you be willing to accept that?"

Yi Zhonghai was speechless after being rebuked.

The fact that Jia Zhangzheng was taken away by two police officers made many people applaud, but because Yi Zhonghai was still there, they could only mutter quietly.

Yi Zhonghai was furious. He then realized that going against He Yuzhu would lead to no good. He snorted and turned to leave.

Liu Haizhong hesitated for a moment, then walked up to her and asked, "Zhuzi, are you really going to send Jia Zhangshi to jail?"

He Yuzhu nodded: "Of course, I'm doing this for her own good."

Liu Haizhong asked doubtfully, "For her own good?"

"Jia Zhangshi has never done any work in all these years. Qin Huairu has done all the cooking and laundry. The only thing she does at home is sew shoe soles."

He Yuzhu's words resonated with everyone; everyone knew that Jia Zhangshi was the laziest person in the courtyard.

It was previously said that if Qin Huairu hadn't been so diligent, the Jia family wouldn't have been so prosperous.

Because Banggeng always wore clean clothes, everyone overlooked Jia Zhangshi's laziness.

Liu Haizhong said, "Jia Zhangshi is a bit lazy."

He Yuzhu said, "Before, Qin Huairu served her in the courtyard house, and she was forced to serve her."

“The situation is different now. She has married out of the Jia family, and Xu Damao’s family has also left. Are we supposed to hold a general meeting and expect all of us to support Jia Zhangshi?”

"How could that be possible?"

"We can't just watch him starve to death."

He Yuzhu said, "Since that's the case, we should reform Jia Zhangshi?"

"You mean?"

He Yuzhu said, "It just so happens that Jia Zhangshi caused trouble today by breaking the lock and taking my house. Let's send her to the detention center. But the comrades inside won't tolerate her. We'll release her when she's been reformed and can live independently and earn money to support herself."

"But she doesn't have a job! What will she do if she gets out?"

He Yuzhu said, "There are still jobs making paper boxes on the street. If she is diligent, she can go and get those jobs and earn enough to cover her vegetable expenses."

Although Jia Zhangshi was being unreasonable, He Yuzhu didn't want to give others something to talk about.

If we don't explain this clearly today, the whole alley will be buzzing with rumors tomorrow that He Yuzhu is bullying Jia Zhangshi by abusing his power.

This is reality. Even if Jia Zhangshi did evil and took your things, there will still be some people who will stir up trouble and talk badly about you behind your back.

Even a small thing can be exaggerated tenfold; it turns out that good things can be slandered as bad things.

He Yuzhu said, "I asked the police officers to take him to the police station so that they could educate him and correct his bad habits."

“He acts crazy all the time. If something happens, he just sits on the ground and calls for Lao Jia to come up and take him away. He doesn’t talk to anyone. This time, he’s causing trouble. This time, he needs to change his ways.”

"If the renovation is done well and people behave themselves, our courtyard will be much quieter."

Liu Haizhong nodded: "You see things very clearly. If we can reform Jia Zhangshi, it will indeed be a great thing that pleases everyone."

Yan Bugui said, "Yes, in the past, there were always people who would take the lead in smoothing things over, directly taking sides, and just suppressing the matter to make it go away."

After the three of them discussed this, the matter was settled. After all, apart from Yi Zhonghai, no one wanted Jia Zhangshi to come back directly.

The next day, He Yuzhu went to the police station to make a statement. The matter was clear: Jia Zhangshi had directly occupied He Yuzhu's house.

Since the harm was not significant, the case was not taken too seriously, and he was sentenced to six months in prison.

After getting off work, He Yuzhu returned to the courtyard house, where Yi Zhonghai had already packed away the clothes inside.

Wen Yuping also cleaned it again, but since it was an old house, the paint on the walls was peeling off and the floor tiles were damaged.

He Yuzhu said, "We'll find someone to repair it again later, and then we'll move in."

There was a construction team on the street, and He Yuzhu had dealt with them countless times. This little thing could be resolved with just a phone call.

He Daqing asked, "How's the case of Jia Zhangshi going?"
