Li Chu saw that it was still early for lunch, so he braved the heavy snow and ran to his sister's office.
"Why did you come to me now?" Li Qin walked to the door when she saw her younger brother standing at the door patting the snow on his body.
"I'm bored in the hospital, so I'll come over to your place. Remember you all to come over tomorrow, and call my brother-in-law and sixth brother over."
"No problem, we'll go there at noon. Is there anything else you need?"
"I don't need anything, just come over." Walking into the office, Li Chu got himself a glass of water.
"Hey, do you know what happened in your compound?" Li Qin suddenly thought of what he heard this morning and asked.
"Our compound?" Li Chu was a little confused.
"Oh, it's the courtyard over here."
"Oh, what happened in the yard, how did it get to you?"
Li Qin sat behind her desk, took a sip of water, and then said, "That Jia family thing."
"What happened to their family?" Li Chu suddenly became interested.
He discovered that everything that happened in that courtyard, big or small, could not avoid the Jia family.
"Two things happened in total. One was the grandson of the Jia family, what was his name? He got into a fight with a classmate and broke his arm. The parents came to ask for compensation. As a result, the old woman from the Jia family acted rogue.
If he didn’t want to accompany him, his parents would directly call the police from the police station.”
Aunt Jia can definitely do this. She is a little too doting on her grandson.
"What happened in the end when the police came?"
"Then I must compensate her, otherwise the police will take her grandson away."
"How much did you lose?"
"Oh, I think she was given five or six yuan. I don't know the exact amount."
"Then what's the second thing?"
Li Qin picked up the cup and took a sip of water. Instead of saying anything directly, she asked, "What does that person named Zhu have to do with the Jia family?"
"Sister, are you talking about He Yuzhu?"
"Yes, that's the name. What's their relationship?"
"It doesn't matter, they are just neighbors."
"Then why did the Jia family let He Yuzhu pay for it?"
"No way, they just asked He Yuzhu for money?"
Li Qin nodded: "Well, that's what the people from the neighborhood committee over there said."
"Even the neighborhood committee was alarmed?" Li Chu was even more surprised now.
"It's just a coincidence that the neighborhood committee went there to express condolences to the lonely elderly people. There isn't one in any hospital. We happened to meet each other when we went there. Otherwise, how do you think I knew about it?"
"Sister, tell me what happened in the end." Li Chu just wished he didn't have peanuts and melon seeds on hand.
Li Qin looked at his brother's excited look and smiled.
"Actually, there was nothing more after that. When they were asked to pay compensation, the daughter-in-law of the Jia family asked He Yuzhu for money. He Yuzhu was unwilling to give it and said that he had no money. They didn't say anything at the time and they paid for it themselves.
Gu Ji
After the police and the parents of the classmates who were beaten were sent away, the old woman from the Jia family started to curse people and cursed randomly in the courtyard, and no one could stop her."
"Where are the comrades from the neighborhood committee, and she dares to curse?" Li Chu asked in surprise.
"At that time, they didn't realize that the people from the neighborhood committee were also present. When those comrades passed by and found out what was going on in the courtyard, they didn't say anything and just hid behind and watched. Later, when the old woman from the Jia family cursed, the courtyard
When no one there could persuade him, the comrades from the neighborhood committee showed up."
"Why is she scolding?"
"Why else? I scolded the people in the courtyard for helping outsiders bully our family. No one helped them. In short, it was someone else's fault. I especially scolded He Yuzhu for not paying for our family."
Li Chu felt that his three views had been refreshed again.
Why has Aunt Jia changed so much? Is it really because of the excitement of her son's death?
That’s not right, it wasn’t like this when Jia Dongxu just died.
"Finally, the comrades from the neighborhood committee came forward?"
Li Qin nodded again: "Yes, they can't stand it anymore. Originally, the comrades of the neighborhood committee were not willing to come forward in such matters between neighbors. The best they can do is to solve the problem in the yard themselves. Then it caused trouble.
If he couldn't do it, he would roll around all over the floor.
Later, Xiao Zhang from the neighborhood committee came forward and said that if she still made trouble, she would go back to where she came from, and asked everyone in the courtyard to supervise her. If she made trouble, he would go to the neighborhood committee and tell her that she would be responsible for sending the old lady from the Jia family back.
Her place of origin. Then she stopped and went back home."
"Oh," Li Chu sighed and said, "Aunt Jia was not like this before. Maybe her husband just died, and her son died a few years ago, so she has some psychological changes. Now she is worried about her daughter-in-law remarrying, so..."
"Remarried? Her daughter-in-law has found a new wife?"
"It's that He Yuzhu who fell in love with her daughter-in-law. She was causing trouble almost every day before."
"Xiao Chu, what you mean is that the old woman of the Jia family is preventing her daughter-in-law from remarrying?"
"Uh..." What should he say?
His sister suddenly asked this, and Li Chu understood what she was thinking. The country now advocates letting widows remarry. If you dare to stop it, wouldn't you be fighting against the country?
This is what the neighborhood offices, neighborhood committees, and women's federations do.
"Sister, in fact, we can't say that it was Aunt Jia who blocked it. The key is that her daughter-in-law, Qin Huairu, didn't even say a word of approval herself."
"Why am I getting more and more confused as I listen to this? Please explain it to me more clearly."
Li Chu thought for a moment and organized his words: "That's right, He Yuzhu does have some interest in Qin Huairu, but Qin Huairu herself has not expressed her intention to follow him, so we can't say that Aunt Jia stopped her."
"Oh, I understand what you mean, but I still have to remind the neighborhood committee and the Women's Federation to pay attention to this matter. If someone really dares to prevent others from remarrying, we will definitely take care of it."
These are the job responsibilities of his sister, the director of the sub-district office. Li Chu declined to comment, and he did not care whether the widow was allowed to remarry.
These problems are not something that a common man like him should worry about.
He is now a melon-eater. Over there in the courtyard, a big melon is thrown out every now and then, which makes him feel like he has missed out on 100 million.
Every time I can only listen to other people's descriptions afterwards, it's always a little uncomfortable.
But if you really wanted to move back in, he would never do it.
It’s okay to eat other people’s food, but if you move back, you’ll probably end up eating it as your own.
No one living in that courtyard had a fuel-efficient lamp.
"By the way, Xiao Chu, in my impression, didn't Qiu Nan introduce a job to the Jia family before, hemming towels? Logically speaking, the conditions of her family should not be bad. Why is the old lady of the Jia family still calling her family?
