Chapter 216 Their own plans

As the smokers, opium and various utensils in the opium den were collected by the soldiers,

Lin Zheng took out the seal from the car and pasted it on the door.
Then He Yuzhu and the others began to clean up various items and corpses, and then went to the next tobacco shop under the leadership of Lin Zheng.

After this delay, what happened in the first tobacco shop had already spread throughout Shichahai.

Seeing that Lin Zheng directly ordered the killing of the owner of the tobacco shop, Liu,

After analyzing the situation, the others all made the right choice and surrendered, waiting for the police station to search and confiscate their property.

A whole afternoon,
Lin Zheng led the soldiers of the branch to seal off dozens of tobacco shops in Shichahai.

The opium and various instruments confiscated filled five large trucks and filled the entire warehouse of the Shichahai Anti-Opium Committee.

Because there were too many things confiscated from the opium den, it took some time.

When He Yuzhu returned to the courtyard after get off work,
He Daqing and other workers from the steel rolling mill had already returned from get off work and were chatting about the smoking ban in the yard.

Seeing He Yuzhu appear at the gate of the courtyard, He Daqing immediately asked,
"Zhu Zi, have we dealt with all the opium dens in Shichahai?
For example, the opium in Old Yan's house, and smokers like Zhang Saozi, where should they go to register in the future?"

When He Daqing asked this, He Yuzhu thought Yan Bugui and Jia Zhangshi had figured it out.

I smiled and replied,

"They have all been banned, otherwise they wouldn't have been so busy coming back now.

As for Uncle Yan and Aunt Zhang, they just need to hand over the opium and pipes to the street government tomorrow. Sister Hongying and the others will take care of the rest.

Dad, have you guys discussed everything? Will you hand in the things tomorrow?"

"What's there to discuss? Just do what the radio says. We don't have opium at home anyway."

Just to take care of the deaf old lady's emotions, He Yuzhu's family never had opium and other things. He Daqing was naturally the most relaxed among all the people at this time.

Only then can I say such words easily.

But Yan Bugui and Jia Zhangshi, who had opium in their families, were not in such a good mood at this time.

He looked at He Yuzhu solemnly and asked,
"Zhu Zi, is this really not negotiable?"

Seeing that they were still struggling here, He Yuzhu was too lazy to pay attention to them and said very casually,
"Of course you can. Didn't you see that Mr. Liu from the tobacco shop discussed it with Big Brother for quite a while? Of course there is something to discuss.

Uncle Yan, Aunt Zhang,

Anyway, the deadline for voluntarily handing it in is still several days away, so why don’t you think about it carefully and see how others do it.

Lest you pay too early and be unwilling to do so. "

When Yan Bugui and Jia Zhang heard He Yuzhu say that they could discuss it, they were about to be happy.

But when they heard him use the example of the tobacco shop owner who was beaten to death today, their faces immediately darkened.

But before the two of them could open their mouths, they heard Yi Zhonghai say,
"Old Yan, Mrs. Zhang,

I don’t know what you are still hesitating about!
When we came back from get off work, we heard that smoking was banned that afternoon and that owner Liu of the tobacco shop had even pulled out a gun, but he was still shot dead on the orders of Director Lin.

As ordinary people like us, do you think you can do anything?

Since you have to pay it sooner or later, you might as well do it quickly.

Didn’t the State Council broadcast say that if you voluntarily hand it over, you will receive corresponding compensation? If the deadline for voluntary payment has passed, not only will you not get any compensation, but you may even end up paying the price.”

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai was going to take the lead, Liu Haizhong and Xu Fugui thought about it and prepared to actively respond.

"Okay, then let's go to the street government to find Director Li tomorrow.
Anything we can get back is good.”

Most of the neighbors in the courtyard had made their decision. Only Jia Zhangshi and Yan Bugui were still hesitating. However, Jia Dongxu
Seeing that his mother was still struggling, he turned around and asked He Yuzhu,

"Zhu Zi, didn't the radio say there were smoking cessation pills and formulas for sale? Do you know where to buy them?"

He Yuzhu was quite surprised to see Jia Dongxu getting a little tough.
"Just the pharmacy,

When our branch was closing down the smoking den today, the street government had already been making arrangements in this regard.

You can go to the pharmacy and buy some smoking cessation medicine for Aunt Zhang.

If she really can't quit, we can send her to the smoking cessation center set up by the Peking Military Control Commission. Anyway, there are always ways to help Aunt Zhang quit smoking."

Hearing He Yuzhu say that the Beiping Military Control Commission would find a way to make Jia Zhang quit smoking,
Jia Dongxu immediately became interested.

Although the money for the opium was paid by Yi Zhonghai, the master, he himself was also tortured by his mother.

Even the dating plan was ruined.

He wanted to get Jia Zhang to quit smoking, but he himself couldn't get over the barrier of filial piety.

If Jia Zhang was sent to the Peking Military Control Commission to quit smoking, then I would be able to turn a blind eye to it and wouldn't have so many worries.

Not only Jia Dongxu is interested, but Yi Zhonghai also has this idea.

Although he hoped that Jia Zhang would smoke herself to death.

For this reason, he has basically lent Jia Zhang whenever he has money over the past year or so, and has already lent her a lot of money to buy cigarettes.

But Jia Zhang was also a tough person. After smoking for more than a year, she only got a rash on her face, nothing else happened.

It may take several more years to recover, depending on the situation.

It's simply a bottomless pit.

Although Yi Zhonghai could wait that long,

But now that he had encountered such a strong anti-smoking order from the State Council, he knew that his plan to let Jia Zhang smoke him to death would definitely not work.

So I settled for the next best thing and became a good person.

"Dongxu, I think Zhuzi is right. Send Sister Zhang to the Government Affairs Council immediately to help her quit smoking.

Then you can find someone to marry quickly.
If we delay it for another year or two, the neighbors will definitely gossip about it."

Just as Jia Dongxu was about to agree, Jia Zhang, who was standing next to him, immediately screamed loudly.

"No, I won't go.

Today, Zhuzi and his colleagues from the police station beat someone to death because of a crackdown on a smoking den. If I go to a smoking cessation center and fail to quit, will they kill me too?
No, if you want to quit, just quit at home.

Dongxu, go buy me some smoking cessation medicine. I won’t go to the smoking cessation center of the Military Control Commission anyway.”

"Mom! The Military Control Commission..."

"Before Jia Dongxu finished speaking, Jia Zhang was already shaking her head like a rattle.
No, no, no, it's useless for me to go.

Quit smoking at home.
If you insist on sending me to the smoking cessation center of the Peking Military Control Commission, then you might as well kill me!"

Seeing that Jia Zhang was unwilling to go to the smoking cessation center, Jia Dongxu finally had to compromise.

It is better for Jia Zhang to agree to quit smoking than to be unwilling to quit smoking.

I finally have hope.
