And it caused such a huge mess!
Is Jia Dongxu there?
Hearing him call his name, Jia Dongxu knew he was doomed.
He stepped forward, trembling, and said, "I'm here."
"You must already know what your mother did. What do you have to say about her being arrested by the police?"
Jia Dongxu shook his head frantically: "No, I'll do whatever the neighborhood committee or the police station says. I absolutely dare not have any objections."
Then Zhang Dajun stood in the middle of the courtyard and said sternly.
"Of course you wouldn't dare to have any objections. My question is, what are you going to do next?"
He was completely baffled.
I don't know how to answer, and I don't know what to do.
He looked to Qin Huairu for help, hoping she could assist him.
But Qin Huairu completely ignored him.
She wished she could bury her head in the sand, wished she could tell everyone that she, Qin Huairu, had no relation to Jia Zhangshi.
"Why are you looking at her? Who's really in charge of the Jia family?"
"My mom usually makes the decisions about things at home."
"Are you even a man? Your family made such a mistake, shouldn't you make a statement to everyone?!"
Jia Dongqu then understood and kept bowing to everyone.
"I was wrong, and my mom was wrong too. I hope we can all forgive each other. Tomorrow I will go to the factory to apologize to Director Li, I will go to the public bathhouse to apologize to Fatty Wang, and I will go door to door to apologize to everyone."
Zhang Dajun didn't even want to look at him anymore, seeing his pathetic state.
He came today to tell everyone the neighborhood's stance on this matter.
From now on, Jia Zhangshi will be a typical example; we must never use the old-fashioned ways of rural women to catch enemy spies.
Whatever happens, it must be reported immediately. You cannot rely on your imagination or make wild guesses.
"Listen up, everyone. If you encounter a stranger or someone you suspect, report it to the local street office or police station immediately."
"If you have the ability of He Hongyang, and can capture enemy agents single-handedly, our neighborhood will warmly welcome you."
"If someone is like Jia Zhangshi, who saw nothing but spouts nonsense in order to gain merit, the neighborhood committee will definitely not let such a person off the hook!"
"I'll say it again, enemy agents are hiding among us. Every one of you is a scout, and you have a responsibility to discover enemy agents, and even more so to provide clues to the people on the streets."
"But all clues must be reliable. If someone makes wild tales and lies, like Jia Zhangshi, trying to use enemy agents to attract everyone's attention, then their fate will be the same as hers!"
“I’m here to tell you all that life on the streets isn’t like what you’re saying, where people live from 8 am to 5 pm. There are people on duty every night. If you have any leads, you’re welcome to come anytime.”
His words not only criticized the Jia family, but also alluded to the Yi family.
Yi Zhonghai kept his head down the whole time, not daring to make a sound.

Now, forget about helping the Jia family; they can't even protect themselves!
Zhang Dajun walked up to He Hongyang and shook his hand tightly.
"Thanks to you this time. If it weren't for your quick thinking in figuring out that Jia Zhangshi's story was fake, something terrible would have happened to our neighborhood."
"If the police station catches fire, or if anyone in the bathhouse is injured, our neighborhood will definitely be implicated, and the higher-ups will definitely investigate thoroughly."
"I heard that you not only exposed Jia Zhangshi's lies, but also cooperated with Director Ma to clarify the whole matter and comforted everyone at the bathhouse, which prevented the matter from escalating."
"As expected of someone who's been in the neighborhood newspapers, you're truly knowledgeable and capable. On behalf of the neighborhood, I thank you, and on behalf of everyone who took a shower at the public bathhouse tonight, thank you!"
"Without you, I don't know how this would have ended tonight!"
He waved to Jia Dongxu.
"Come quickly and thank Dr. He. If it weren't for him, your mother might not have just been detained for a few days; she might have gone straight to jail!"
Jia Dongxu rushed over.
He bowed deeply to him.
"Thank you so much, Brother He. Thank you for helping me and my mother. I know you stepped forward because we all live in the same compound."
"If I didn't have you, my mom would be in big trouble, and our family would be finished!"
Zhang Dajun waved to Yi Zhonghai again.
"You should come over quickly too, and thank Dr. He properly."
Yi Zhonghai was completely dumbfounded.
Why should we thank him?
This is a matter for the Jia family; it has nothing to do with him.
"Old Yi, what are you doing there? Do you think this has nothing to do with you? Don't forget you are Jia Dongxu's mentor."
"Now that his hometown has been taken away, shouldn't you stand up and thank Dr. He on his behalf?"
Yi Zhonghai said reluctantly, "Didn't I already thank you? Why do I need to thank you again?"
"Even if you thank me a hundred times, you still can't repay this kindness. What's wrong with me asking you to thank me? Shouldn't you be?"
"He not only saved Jia Zhangshi, but also Director Li. Don't forget you're a steel mill worker. Even if it's just for Director Li, shouldn't you thank him?"
Yi Zhonghai was utterly speechless.
He's not the only one working at the steel mill in the courtyard, so why is he the only one allowed to go and not others?
He must have been holding a grudge after hearing what he said about her, which is why he embarrassed her.
He Hongyang was just a junior, and everyone knew they didn't get along.
He had been so arrogant in his words about the He family, and now he was thanking them.
Isn't this just slapping yourself in the face?
Yi Zhonghai didn't want to go.
If he leaves, will people still listen to him when he speaks in the courtyard?
Look how persistent he is.
An older woman pulled him aside and whispered, "Stop being so stubborn. This is Director Zhang's personal order. If you don't go, aren't you just openly going against him?"
"You've already offended him. If you don't go now, you'll offend him a second time!"
Although he looked down on the older woman, what she said made sense.
What bad luck.
He didn't benefit from the Jia family at all; instead, he suffered alongside them.
Left with no other choice, Wang Qian had to come to He Hongyang's side.
"Thank you."
He Hongyang almost burst out laughing when he saw his unwilling expression.
Since they've come over to thank me, I should naturally say a few words.
“Master Yi, you’re an old man too. Since you’re Jia Dongxu’s master, you should teach him a lesson, and also teach his mother a lesson.”
"You two usually get along very well. Didn't you bring her two pounds of cornmeal last night? I saw you two chatting enthusiastically under the cover of night. You must be very sad that she was arrested today."
“I understand. Your two families have a special relationship, and your relationship with Aunt Jia is also special. She must be having a hard time eating and sleeping inside. I imagine you will also have a hard time eating and sleeping tonight.”
"Don't you like helping others? Since you two are so close, there's no need for the other people in the courtyard to help. You can just do it yourself."
Everyone understood that He Hongyang's words were a veiled insult.
They all couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"What? He even sent cornmeal to Jia Zhangshi? How come I didn't know that? When did that happen? Looks like I've missed another good show."
"No wonder he was in such a hurry today. The matter hadn't been clarified yet, but as soon as he heard that Jia Zhangshi had been arrested, he started donating money and even took out two yuan of his own. It turns out they had this kind of relationship."
"He really doesn't mind the tough texture of these old vegetables. How can he even chew them?"
"One of them was willing to peep at men bathing in the public bathhouse, and the other was willing to deliver cornmeal to their homes. It seems these two are a perfect match!"
"If they are a perfect match, then what about that old lady? Wouldn't she be all alone?"
"Hehehe, he doesn't know how to do the three-person form. Anyway, he's just idling around. Yi Zhonghai has really picked up a bargain this time."
These people became more and more excited and agitated as they talked.
Yi Zhonghai was so angry that he wished he could go over and shut all these people up.
However, because Zhang Dajun was there, he dared not go.
All I could do was hang my head and let others say what they wanted.
120. Honey, let's have a baby.
Go back and lie in bed.
Wang Liying listened as He Hongyang talked about Li Huaide and Liu Lan.
I never expected him to be so blatant.
It's one thing for the two of them to be together, but they actually dared to go to a private room.
Even a perfectly respectable couple wouldn't dare go, yet they still dared to go.
But this happened on the first visit.
No wonder He Hongyang said with a smile that there would be a joke tonight.
It seems this is not just a joke, but a farce!
"Brother Hongyang, you're really amazing. Even in a farce, you managed to embarrass that Jia Zhangshi. I wonder what she was thinking when she fell from the ceiling and landed in the pool."
He Hongyang pinched her nose and said, "You're not envious of her, are you? She opens her eyes and sees so many men in front of her."
“I’m not envious at all. That’s unchaste. In my eyes, there’s only one man in the world, and that’s you.”
"That's more like it. I'll talk to Fatty Wang another day and ask him to reserve the biggest single room for us so we can have a good time."
"But I'm afraid of being seen by others."
"What's there to be afraid of? Besides, we've been married for several years and don't have any children yet. Don't you want a child?"
Upon hearing He Hongyang's words...
Wang Liying jumped up in a flash.
Of course she wanted it, but for such a big matter, she had to listen to He Hongyang.
He Hongyang had previously told her that she was too young and it wasn't the right time yet, and that she should wait.
So I listened to him and didn't rush.
