Chapter 400

~6 min read 1,135 words

Wang Zhuren had just made it clear that he could only answer yes or no. If he dared to talk nonsense again, he would remove his position as First Elder!

"You made Sun Laogen compensate Jia Zhangshi for medical expenses, right?"

Wang Zhuren pressed.

Yi Zhonghai could only nod again.

Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui in the crowd had pale faces.

Wang Zhuren was going to pursue responsibility, and the two of them definitely couldn't escape.

Yi Zhonghai was the main responsibility, and the two of them were secondary responsibilities.

"Yi Zhonghai, who gave you the right to invert right and wrong?"

"Sun Laogen is the victim, he is the one who needs compensation, yet you made him take out money to compensate the thief. Tell me, what were you thinking?"

Wang Zhuren questioned Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai opened his mouth, unable to say a word.

"It's because the First Elder saw our family was pitiful and life wasn't easy, so he appropriately took care of our family. The other two elders also agreed!"

Jia Zhangshi stood out.

With one sentence, she dragged Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui into the water.

Both of their faces turned red with anger, and they wished they could rush up, take a needle and thread, and sew Jia Zhangshi's mouth shut to see if she dared to talk nonsense again?

Too treacherous!

"Jia Zhangshi, is your family pitiful?"

Wan Ping'an stood out.

"Wang Zhuren, the minimum living standard set by the city is a monthly income of less than five yuan, right?"

Wan Ping'an asked.

Wang Zhuren nodded; it was four yuan, eight mao, and nine fen.

"Jia Zhangshi, your son just entered the rolling mill as an apprentice, using a formal worker's quota, with a monthly salary of eighteen yuan and five mao."

"The two of you spend it, and one person gets nine yuan and two mao and five fen a month, which is almost twice the stipulated minimum living standard."

"Do you still dare to say life isn't easy?"

Wan Ping'an questioned.

"Nine yuan a month per person is not only enough to eat your fill, but you can eat quite well. I estimate you can eat meat two or three times a month."

"Yi Zhonghai, is this what you call pitiful?"

"Is this what you call life difficulties?"

Wang Zhuren's face was livid.

It was true that the Jia family was orphans and widows, but Old Jia had just died, and Jia Dongxu was an adult and could work to earn a salary. What was so bitter about it?

"Haha, it seems the rumors are true, the First Elder and Jia Zhangshi have an affair, that's why he favors the Jia family so much."

"In our courtyard, there are several families whose lives are more difficult than the Jia family's, and the First Elder has never cared about them."

"Tell me, is Jia Dongxu really Old Jia's child?"

"Could it be that Yi Zhonghai gave Old Jia a green hat?"

Everyone discussed, getting more and more outrageous.

They even started changing Jia Dongxu's surname to Yi Dongxu!

"Everyone be quiet!"

Officer Song maintained order at the scene.

It was noisy, the sound was too chaotic, and when Wang Zhuren spoke, he had to shout loudly, otherwise people slightly further back couldn't hear.

"Jia Zhangshi, return the money to Sun Laogen!"

Wang Zhuren ordered.

Thieves absolutely could not be indulged.

It wasn't just about returning the money, there had to be punishment.

"I..."

Jia Zhangshi didn't want to return the money.

"Jia Zhangshi, return the money, or be sent to labor reform, which one do you choose?"

Wang Zhuren sneered.

Jia Zhangshi looked dejected and returned the money to Sun Laogen.

"Yi Zhonghai, it's your turn!"

"You inverted right and wrong, intentionally favored the Jia family, and are not fit to be the First Elder. I sentence you to compensate Sun Laogen thirty yuan. Are you convinced?"

Wang Zhuren's purpose was to appease Sun Laogen.

He didn't want to make a big deal out of it.

If it became a big deal, it would be very unfavorable for the subdistrict office.

As long as Sun Laogen didn't make a scene anymore, it could be resolved internally!

"Wang Zhuren, I wouldn't dare take the First Elder's money."

"He is the First Elder in the Sihe Academy, and he has great influence at the rolling mill. If I take his money, he will definitely take revenge on me!"

... Begging for flowers...

Sun Laogen was doing it on purpose.

"You just take it."

"Yi Zhonghai, if anything happens to Sun Laogen, I will hold you responsible!"

Wang Zhuren warned Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai repeatedly indicated that he would absolutely not take revenge on Sun Laogen, and that Sun Laogen was overthinking it.

In reality, he hated Sun Laogen to death inside.

He secretly made up his mind that he must take revenge, he definitely had to take revenge.

Of course, not immediately, that would be too obvious!

After a period of time, he would find a suitable opportunity to get rid of Sun Laogen if he could, and kill him if he could!

At this moment.

Yi Dama helped the deaf old lady arrive.

The deaf old lady had been watching quietly; if Wang Zhuren's punishment was just a fine and criticism, she wouldn't need to step out.

"I'll announce one more thing!"

"Acting First Elder Yi Zhonghai has had major problems during his observation period, so his observation period is terminated early. Yi Zhonghai is no longer the First Elder of the Sihe Academy!"

Wang Zhuren announced.

He didn't dare to use Yi Zhonghai again.

The deaf old lady sighed; she had to step out.

"Wait a moment!"

"Wang Zhuren, can you listen to this old woman for a few words?"

The deaf old lady came to Wang Zhuren's opposite side.

"Old Lady, what do you want to say?"

Wang Zhuren was a bit wary of the deaf old lady.

When he first removed Yi Zhonghai, he hadn't intended to use him again.

As a result.

The deaf old lady found people to pressure him.

He had no choice but to agree to give Yi Zhonghai another chance.

"Wang Zhuren, everyone can make mistakes."

"Yi Zhonghai had good intentions, wanting to take care of orphans and widows, he just didn't consider things thoroughly and wronged Sun Laogen."

"Seeing that he didn't commit a major mistake, can you give him another chance?"

"I guarantee he definitely won't make the same mistake again."

"Besides, during his time as First Elder, he also did quite a few practical things and brought everyone quite a bit of convenience. Even if there's no merit, there's hard work, right?"

The deaf old lady pleaded for Yi Zhonghai.

Wang Zhuren was very conflicted.
