Chapter 424: Some Chaos

When He Daqing heard He Yuzhu say that the pork inventory in Peking was only enough to feed the people of the city for four months, he thought that the meat he had gotten from the freezer was all from him.

So I stopped asking any more questions, lest it bring trouble to my son.
"Too,
Don't bring yourself so much trouble just to eat a bite of meat, it's not worth it.
Anyway, I'm at Fengze Garden, your aunt Bai is at the steel mill, and you're at the militia, so we can all have food to eat. Our family doesn't need it, so don't take any risks."

Just as He Yuzhu walked out of the house and prepared to go to the backyard,
Jia Zhangshi, Yi Zhonghai and other neighbors came back crying and screaming.
Hearing the noise outside, He Daqing quickly put down what he was holding and walked out of the house. Then he saw red marks on Jia Zhang's face, and bruises on Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong's faces, obviously they were beaten outside.

He Daqing picked up He Ying who was riding his bicycle and looked at them curiously and asked,

"What's going on, Old Yi?

Aren't you guys outside lining up to buy lunch? But it looks like you guys are fighting with someone, what's going on?"

Hearing He Daqing's question,

Before Yi Zhonghai could speak, Liu Haizhong covered his face and said angrily,

"What could have happened? Someone didn't follow the rules and started fighting over food. It became a big fight and in the end, a few of us were also eaten."

When he heard Liu Haizhong say it was a melee, based on past experience, He Daqing knew that they definitely hadn't found out who had hit him.
It was an unexpected disaster.

Sure enough, as soon as Liu Haizhong finished speaking, Jia Zhang shouted at He Yuzhu,

"Zhu Zi, Aunt Zhang was bullied this time. As the captain of the militia, you have to take charge of this matter for me. Help Aunt Zhang find the person who bullied her and make him pay for it.
I can’t just take this beating for nothing.”

After Jia Zhang expressed her demands, other neighbors in the courtyard also echoed her and asked He Yuzhu to make the decision for them.

When He Yuzhu heard their request, he was a little amused.
"Uncle Yi, Aunt Zhang, and all the uncles and aunts, there have been three or five fights in Peking recently.
The most the police station can do is arrest someone, detain them for a day or two, and then release them.
When will you find out who is responsible for this kind of thing? If you can't even find the person, who can you ask for compensation?

Aren't you making things difficult for me?
If you ask me, you should go back and clean up, then cook quickly, and then eat your fill before going out to queue up to buy things. This is the right thing to do.

Don't think about those things, they are useless."

While they were talking, the neighbors in the backyard who heard the noise came to the middle yard. Even the deaf old lady in her 70s came over with the help of Lou Xiaoe and Ran Qiuye.
When the old lady saw Yi Zhonghai getting beaten, she felt so heartbroken.

But although this old lady is old,
But the heart of an old man is not blind,

She also understood the current situation in Beiping City and knew what Yi Zhonghai had gone out for.
I also know that not only in the whole of Beijing, but even in a small place like Jiaodaokou Street, conflicts between outsiders and locals would occur every now and then, and fights would happen from time to time.
The Public Security Bureau and He Yuzhu's militia were already exhausted and could not possibly have the energy to help them find out who was beating them.
So in the end he didn't say a word, nor did he ask He Yuzhu for anything.

Only Jia Zhangshi, Liu Haizhong and others who were beaten said unwillingly after hearing what He Yuzhu said,
"Zhu Zi, are you really just going to watch us get beaten without helping?"

"Aunt Zhang, that's not what I meant.

The investigation of the case is not the responsibility of our militia. You should go to the police station and find the newly appointed Chief Zhang.
We are a militia, we only know how to fight but not investigate cases. You are asking me for help, this is totally irrelevant!" He Yuzhu had just finished speaking when he heard Liu Haizhong yelling,

"Zhu Zi, what you said is wrong. There are fights and troubles every now and then at Jiao Dao Kou. Even if we report it to the police, Director Zhang will not take it seriously.

But you are a leader after all, your rank is much higher than Director Zhang,
If you help us, one word is worth 100 words from us, and Director Zhang and his men will pay more attention to it.”

"Yes, yes, Zhuzi, you are a cadre, so your words are more useful to us ordinary people. Director Zhang will definitely take it seriously if you say so."

……

Seeing that the neighbors were still unwilling to give up, He Yuzhu thought about it and decided not to refuse.
"Okay, then I'll go to the police station after dinner and take a look at the militia.

But let me be clear, even if I ask for you, this matter may not have any results in the end, so you have to be mentally prepared."

After saying that, He Yuzhu was too lazy to say any more to them. He took He Yuejin from Lou Xiaoe and turned into the house.

When the neighbors heard him say that there might be no result, they were a little bit unconvinced.
But He Yuzhu had already entered the house, so he could only look at He Daqing and ask,
"Lao He, what does your Zhuzi mean by this? He is such a high-ranking leader and has personally come to the rescue, but there is no result. Is he trying to fool us?"

"Of course, Zhuzi is several levels higher than Director Zhang. Zhuzi has spoken, so Director Zhang has to do his best!"

Hearing what Liu Haizhong and the others said, He Daqing couldn't help but smile.
"I said, what are you thinking?

Do you know where this is? Peking! Our capital city of Daxia has many officials. Our Zhu is not a leader. Anyone who takes a brick from the city wall and hits someone on Chang'an Street is a higher official than our Zhu.

What happened to the leader?
This kind of thing happens every day in Peking. Are there no children, friends, or neighbors of the leaders who get beaten?
Others can't do anything about it, but you guys are special. You insist on asking Zhuzi to find the person and ask him to pay compensation.

What are you thinking!

It's good enough that our Zhuzi can help you ask.
Whatever the result is, it is what the result is.
If you feel wronged, just go find the person on the street and ask for compensation, or just beat him up. If you don't have the ability, just hold it in. What's the point of bullying in your own home?"

The neighbors were very angry after being scolded by He Daqing.
But I dare not do anything to him.
If He Yuzhu doesn't help, they can still persuade He Daqing, their father, but if He Daqing doesn't help, they will be really helpless.

As for the oldest deaf old lady in the courtyard,
They didn't expect her to show up at all.

As the saying goes, a man who has received favors should be grateful, and a man who has received favors should be grateful. The deaf old lady is likely to be selectively deaf.

Didn’t you see that Yi Zhonghai was beaten today, and this old lady didn’t speak up for everyone?
