Chapter 59 The Collapse of "The Moral God" (VI)
As it got dark, the workers returned to the yard one after another.
Immediately afterwards, a piece of extremely shocking news exploded in these people's ears with a "boom".
"Did Jia Zhang fight and swear again today?"
"Jia Zhang slandered and insulted Liu Zhiye again?"
"What? Jia Zhang was arrested?"
"Uncle Yi Zhonghai went to rescue someone, but he was also dragged into this?"
"What? Yi Zhonghai was detained for having an affair?"
One piece of news after another shocked everyone.
And this is not a rumor, it really happened.
Because the Street Office had just sent someone to inform us not long ago, requiring a plenary meeting to be held in the compound tonight, and everyone should come together to criticize the wrong ideas and behaviors of Jia Yi and the others.
After Liu Haizhong heard the news, he was stunned at first, and then he was ecstatic: "Hahaha~ Lao Yi, I let you be so mean, criticizing this and educating that all day long.
You appear to be a righteous person on the surface, but after all the fuss, it turns out that you are the worst person.
From now on, I don’t think you can still be a boss. I think your job is ruined~"
When he thought that if Old Yi got into trouble, he would be a big shot, he felt even happier.
He said to the second aunt excitedly: "Go and fry some eggs for me. I want to have a few drinks today."
After giving his instructions to the second aunt, he began to sing by himself, shaking his head:
“I am looking at the mountain view from the tower.
I heard a commotion outside the city and the sound of flags waving in the air.
But they were soldiers sent by Sima, and I also sent people to inquire.
I heard that Sima led his troops westward. Firstly, Ma Su was incompetent and lacked talent, and secondly, the generals and commanders were at odds with each other..."
Yan family.
The third uncle Yan Bugui had just returned home when he heard such explosive news.
He stared at the third aunt with his small eyes in amazement.
"Ruihua, are you right? Old Yi really was with Jia's wife..."
The third auntie looked as if to ask, "Why don't you believe me?" She said, "How can this be fake? Didn't you hear that the street office has come to notify us? The officials will come tonight to announce the decision on the handling of the case."
"Hmph~ Wait~"
Yan Bugui shook his head and said with a look of disappointment: "This, this, this, this Old Yi, is really insulting, really insulting~"
"Ah~ It's a pity for the Yi family's sister-in-law~ Ruihua, the Yi family's sister-in-law is a good person. When we first moved in, she helped us a lot."
"When you gave birth to your third child, you couldn't take care of so many children. It was thanks to her that you helped take care of the two older ones, and that's how you got through those difficult years."
"You should counsel her more during this period of time. If she needs any help or care, you can also lend a hand..."
Sha Zhu came home from get off work humming a little tune and just entered the yard when he heard a few middle-aged women gossiping about their wives.
He didn't take it seriously at first, but as he listened more he felt something was wrong. It seemed like these people were saying something bad about Uncle Yi.
He stopped and put his hands behind his back, and said like a leader: "I say, elders, please be more kind-hearted and stop saying bad things about others every day."
When these ladies heard Sha Zhu talking like this, they were also unhappy: "Sha Zhu, you know nothing. You are just talking nonsense here. Go and check it out. Is what we said wrong?"
When Sha Zhu saw the expressions of these people and realized that they didn't seem to be talking nonsense, his heart skipped a beat.
Then he hurried back to the backyard to check on the old lady.
Before I even entered the house, I heard a woman crying out in pain from inside the old lady's room: "Old lady, how am I going to live in the future? Tell me, why is my life so miserable?"
There was also the old lady's decrepit voice: "My girl, this is our fate as women. It is beyond our control..."
"..."
After hearing this, Sha Zhu was in a dilemma, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.
…………
Around seven o'clock at night.
After dinner, everyone in the compound came to the central courtyard with tables, chairs and benches to gather and prepare for the meeting.
As usual, there was an eight-person table in front of Zhuzi's house, on which was placed an enamel teapot and several white teacups.
There were several stools placed around the table, and now only the second uncle Liu Haizhong and the third uncle Yan Bugui were sitting there.
The only one missing was uncle Yi Zhonghai.
Since the cadres from the street office had not arrived yet, everyone was gossiping here.
Liu Haizhong said to Yan Bugui in a fake tone, "This old Yi doesn't seem like that kind of person! Could there be some misunderstanding?"
Yan Bugui shook his head and pouted: "No smoke without fire, no trouble without cause~"
"Just wait patiently..."
Qin Huairu, holding Xiaodang and holding Banggeng's hand, came out of the house first. Behind her followed Jia Dongxu, who was lingering and had a cold face. Almost at the same time, Shazhu's brother and sister, supporting the old lady, and a lady also arrived.
These people arrived together in no particular order, as if they had discussed it beforehand.
After seeing them, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense and silent.
Almost everyone's eyes were turned towards the Jia family and the aunt.
When the old lady saw this, her eyes turned red again and tears flowed like a spring.
But Jia Dongxu's face was livid, and he gritted his teeth and said nothing.
At this moment, several comrades from the street office walked in from the gate.
They were quite puzzled when they saw this. Is the organization and discipline of this hospital so good? There was no meeting, but everything was so quiet.
Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui saw that the comrades from the street office had arrived and quickly stood up to greet them.
"Director Gao, welcome!"
"Comrades, please take a seat here..."
As Yan Bugui was speaking, he invited several comrades from the street office to sit down.
Director Gao asked quietly, "Is everyone here now?"
Yan Bugui glanced at the venue and said that most people had arrived.
Director Gao nodded and said, "Then let's get started~"
Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong stood up, took their stools and sat down with everyone else.
Then he said to the group that had started to whisper, "Everyone, pay attention! Be quiet and listen to me!"
"First of all, we warmly welcome the Women's Director of the Street Office, Director Gao, and other leading comrades to our hospital. Let's applaud and welcome them~"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoosh..."
Director Gao is a woman in her 40s. She is a good grassroots cadre with a heroic and capable style.
She stood up and applauded everyone to express her gratitude. At the end, she made a gesture of applauding. When she saw that everyone gradually quieted down, she began to make a speech at the meeting.
"Comrades~ Today we are gathered together for a meeting. I believe that all the neighbors present here already know the reason."
"I'll briefly repeat it here..."
"Jia Zhang's behavior has violated the law and morality..."
"Yi Zhonghai's behavior is also..."
"Their behavior is extremely wrong and immoral. We must recognize the mistakes they have made and have the courage to fight against such thoughts."
"When such mistakes are discovered, they must be corrected promptly. We must not allow them to become a major threat. We must always be highly vigilant...
"Finally, do you have any other different opinions on the mistakes made by Jia Zhang and Yi Zhonghai?"
……
Liu Zhiye, who was pushing a cart into the courtyard at this moment, heard that a meeting was being held in the middle courtyard. He immediately understood what was going on.
So he parked the car back in the east yard first, and then rushed over to listen to what was going on.
After entering the central courtyard, he quietly sat down next to Zhuzi and Yan Jiecheng.
He asked quietly, "How long has this been going on?"
Yan Jiecheng heard this and looked over. It was Liu Zhiye who had returned. He quickly replied, "Brother Liu, you're back? The meeting just started not long ago. You're back just in time..."
"Well~ stop talking for now and pay attention to what you hear."
Director Gao looked at everyone in the compound and saw that no one had any opinions to express, so he continued:
"Since everyone has no other opinions, we are here to announce a few decisions."
"First, in response to the mistakes made by Yi Zhonghai, it is recommended that his status as a manager be revoked and his position as a street office security officer be removed."
"Second, since Yi Zhonghai's ideology and morality are corrupt, we will conduct ideological and moral re-education on him to urge him not to make the same mistakes again."
"Third, the police station imposed administrative penalties on Yi Zhonghai, detaining him for seven days, fining him 7 yuan, and subjecting him to one week of labor reform."
"Fourth, report his behavior to his work unit, demote him, reduce his salary, and record a serious warning."
"As for Jia Zhang, his insults and attacks on retired revolutionary soldiers and public security officers have violated the criminal law. The specific punishment for him can only be announced after the People's Court has determined his sentence."
"Now that the announcement is over, if there are no more questions, let's adjourn the meeting..."
At this moment, Jia Dongxu suddenly stood up and shouted loudly: "Wait a moment, Leader Gao."
After saying this, he staggered to Liu Zhiye's front.
He had an angry expression on his face, with a pair of bloodshot eyes, staring at Liu Zhiye.
Liu Zhiye also had cold eyes and looked at Jia Dongxu expressionlessly, to see what he was trying to do.
