Early that morning, before anyone woke up, there was chaos in the courtyard.
Several street workers rushed into the courtyard and soon announced a meeting.
The courtyard was in a mess, and everyone was pushing and shouting for a long time before all the residents of the courtyard arrived. After they arrived, they kept mumbling.
"What are you doing? It's so noisy early in the morning."
"I don't know. I was still cooking on the stove, and it got burnt in a while."
"Who isn't? I'm cooking and I have to go to work soon. I don't know when the meeting will be open. I'll be deducted for being late."
"That's right, if you have something to do, we can't talk about it at night."
…
"Quiet! Quiet! Listen to me." It wasn't until the staff at the subdistrict office lost their temper that they stopped talking.
When the staff at the subdistrict office passed by, it turned out that someone had reported that many people in the courtyard were privately occupying state property.
To put it bluntly, because the floor height of the courtyard is relatively high, most of the homes in the courtyard that lacked rooms were partitioned off by a second floor. Some people were jealous and reported it to everyone.
"Who is this? We can't even repair our own house." The tall and imposing boss of the Feng family in the yard yelled: "If you let me know who it is, I will twist off his head and stuff it into his butt."
It's no wonder that the boss of the Feng family is angry. There are only two rooms in their family of seven, and they are all of marriageable age.
But without a house, how can a woman be willing to go on a blind date? Even if a woman is willing, where will she live after she gets married?
The children in his family are in trouble. To put it bluntly, the matchmakers avoid his house for fear of introducing them to a blind date.
Now I finally took advantage of this opportunity to divide the two houses into upper and lower floors. Just like Zhang Yu's upstairs, it is even smaller than his upstairs. There are five rooms separated and four rooms below, except for one.
The parents lived outside, and after the rest of the rooms were used as dining areas, the brothers shared a room each. When they grew up, this was the first time they had their own room.
Now that he has a house and a few people who are good-looking and tall, matchmakers come to his door and take the initiative to introduce him to blind dates.
"Everyone be quiet! We are not here to cause trouble this time. We are just here to check. What is the specific situation? Do the separated buildings meet the standards?" A young man from the subdistrict office subconsciously asked when he saw the seven brothers of the Feng family.
He took a few steps back.
I remembered that I was a street clerk, with so many people watching me, and I couldn't back away.
Only then did he gain the courage to encourage himself. There were so many people here, so it was impossible to come up and beat him. Besides, it was not his fault.
"We are here this time because someone reported you for embezzling state property. Is this true?"
"There is no such thing, who is talking nonsense?" The residents of the courtyard rarely said in unison, even those who had not implemented partitions disagreed.
After all, just because they don’t need it now doesn’t mean they won’t need it when they have more children in the future.
After inspection by the staff of the subdistrict office and discussions with the leaders above, they agreed to the idea of adding a second floor.
However, the second floor added must pass street inspection and the building strength meets the requirements before it can continue to be lived in.
Although the matter passed afterwards, many residents of the courtyard discussed together: "Uncle Zhao, this matter cannot just be left like this."
"That's right, that's right, once this is started, whoever has something good in the future will have to report it?" Everyone agreed beside them.
After all, they sometimes buy some good things in the pigeon market. These are all tacit things, and no one will report them.
But this report is a bad start. If you think about eating something good in the future, someone will be watching from the dark.
I couldn't help but shudder. No, we can't let it go. We must find the person who reported it.
Then the residents of the courtyard started looking for the whistleblower, each with their own methods and channels.
Uncle Zhao and other stewards in the courtyard contacted their friends and apprentices and used official channels.
The middle group used their interpersonal relationships to contact their relatives everywhere to try to find that person.
And those young people who are unemployed take advantage of their social status and ask their brothers everywhere.
And many women took advantage of their gossip and tried to grasp the key points from clues.
Anyway, everyone in the entire courtyard took action. Snakes have their own ways, and rats have their own ways.
Just like this, someone actually found some clues.
No, a gangster brother in the front yard hurried over from outside: "Brother Feng, I got some news from a brother from the street office. The night before, someone in the courtyard next door took a letter
Xin spent a long time sitting next to the subdistrict office."
"It's just that my brother doesn't hang out much in our neighborhood. I just saw him entering the courtyard next door when I went home. It was a bit dark, so I couldn't see the person's specific face. I just roughly knew that he was a young man wearing a uniform.
Blue clothes.”
The boss of the Feng family patted him on the shoulder: "It doesn't matter, it's enough to have this little bit of news. With a little bit of news, you can grasp this nod, and then move on from one o'clock to one o'clock."
"Thanks to your brother this time, I'll treat you to dinner another day."
Zheng Gouzi touched his head and smiled sheepishly: "Brother Feng, what are you talking about? Aren't the affairs in the courtyard also my business? When I came here, if the people in the courtyard hadn't given me a
If I don’t have food to eat, I’ll have buried it in the ground a long time ago.”
"Okay, it's the person in charge." Then he took him to find the aunts in the hospital. When he told the aunts about this clue, they immediately started chatting.
This one said: "There were a lot of people coming in and out of the courtyard next door last night, but not many of them were wearing blue clothes."
The man continued: "I noticed yesterday that Uncle Yi next door wore a blue top, and Wang Laoshi, his eldest son in the backyard, wore one, and your girl's blind date in the front yard wore one.
Son."
"I saw it too, and Silly Zhu also wore one."
"Only this?"
"No, no, there's one more. I came back late. Yesterday, my girl got off work early, and she cooked the food. I thought it was too hot in the room, so I sat at the door and stayed for a while. I saw the son of the Jia family wearing all the clothes.
New blue clothes." One of the slightly richer aunts added.
"Uncle Yi, it's impossible. He's too old. Besides, Uncle Yi is not that kind of person. Wang Laoshi, his eldest son's blue clothes have been worn for a long time, and there are many patches sewn on them. The patches are too conspicuous.
Yes, so it can't be him. As for the blind date, he has nothing to do with our hospital, so he wouldn't go out of his way to report it to our hospital." Aunt Zhao analyzed one by one, and several people around her nodded.
"Now the only ones left are Shazhu and the Jia family. Who are they?"
"I don't think it's Si Zhu. I heard someone said that someone was holding a wedding in front of the street yesterday, and he was invited to serve as the banquet party." Another aunt who was more well-informed proudly told the news she knew.
"Now it seems that if there are no outsiders, then 80% of the people who reported us were that boy from the Jia family."
Zheng Gouzi rolled up his sleeves and was about to go out. The boss of the Feng family quickly stopped him: "What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to skin that kid," Zheng Gouzi said with no anger on his face.
"You peeled off someone's skin. How do you do it? What if something happens to you and you go to jail?" The boss of the Feng family can become the leader of this generation in the courtyard, relying on more than just his tallness and strength.
His physique is as well as his steady character.
"Then, Brother Feng, let's forget it." Zheng Gouzi said with a look of dismay.
"Forget it, how is it possible? Forget it this time, people will think that we are easy to bully, and we will be more unscrupulous next time." The boss of the Feng family sneered: "It's okay, we have a long time to come, and we will find it back sooner or later."
