Chapter 30 Visit
Li Jiandong said with a smile, "Hello, Auntie. I'm from Courtyard 40 over there. My child works for Chief Zhang. He said Chief Zhang takes good care of him. I came to visit him just in time for Chief Zhang's new baby girl."

The old lady is Zhang Suo's mother. She has been taking care of her daughter-in-law at Zhang Suo's home during this period of time.

Seeing that Li Jiandong was holding something in his hand, he let him in.

Zhang was washing up in the room. When he saw a stranger coming in, he quickly spat out the toothpaste in his mouth and walked over to ask:

"Mom, who is this?"

Li Jiandong took the initiative to introduce himself: "Chief Zhang, I'm from the No. 4 Courtyard. My name is Li Jiandong. I have an apprentice named He Yuzhu who was seconded from the factory militia to your police station a few days ago. I wonder if you have any impression of him?"

"Oh, you are Master Li, the eighth-level fitter who fixed the truck?"

Nanluoguxiang is not that big, and any unusual things will quickly become known to everyone. Zhang's impression of Li Jiandong is more about him riding a scooter to and from get off work every day.

You know, as the director, he sometimes has to ride a bicycle when he goes on missions, and he is really envious of Li Jiandong.

"Master Li, please come in."

While inviting Li Jiandong into the house, Zhang said:
"I know the He Yuzhu you mentioned. He is very good at military boxing and is a very spirited young man. I didn't expect that he is your disciple."

After knowing Li Jiandong's identity, Zhang's attitude also became enthusiastic.

Li Jiandong handed over the gift he brought and said, "Chief Zhang, I know you have a baby girl, so I came to see you before work. Please accept this little gift."

The gift was given with good reasons, and Zhang had no reason to refuse.

As soon as you take it in your hand and touch it, you will know that there are good things inside.

Mickey Mouse Milk Candy is the predecessor of White Rabbit Milk Candy. Later, because mice were one of the four pests, it was renamed White Rabbit Milk Candy.

Although it is made domestically, the raw materials are all imported from foreign countries, so the price is very expensive. One piece of toffee can buy two white flour buns.

Zhang Suo felt conflicted, but he accepted it without showing any emotion.

He took the initiative to ask Li Jiandong: "Master Li, you came here today, probably because Comrade He Yuzhu was injured on duty yesterday, right?"

"It's indeed because of this incident." Li Jiandong put away his smile and sighed slightly.

"Zhang, you are also a father, you should understand how I felt when I saw Zhuzi injured. However, given the nature of his work, it is normal for him to get injured, and I am also relieved that he was injured while fighting violence and protecting the good."

Zhang Suo nodded and said:

"Yes, Comrade He Yuzhu is not only physically strong, but also has a strong sense of responsibility and justice. He is a good comrade."

"Master Li, since you understand, then why did you come to me today?"

Chief Zhang looked at Li Jiandong, still not guessing why he came.

Li Jiandong got straight to the point and said, "Chief Zhang, do you know that someone went to our hospital to cause trouble last night?

Their target is He Yuzhu, the people and their families who were injured by Zhuzi yesterday in order to save the woman. "

"Huh? Is there such a thing?"

Zhang Suo’s eyes widened immediately.

Although Sha Zhu is not yet an official policeman in their police station, he has been seconded to help them patrol, so at least for now he is his subordinate.

Since he was injured at work, it would be fine if no one was caught.

These street urchins actually dared to cause trouble in someone else's compound. Isn't this a slap in the face of him and the police station?
They are totally lawless and don't take the police seriously.

Li Jiandong continued:
"Officer Zhang, you also know that it was Zhuzi and another police officer who stopped the other party from committing violence yesterday."

"But, those street urchins only dare to cause trouble to Zhuzi, isn't it because of his identity, that he is just a temporary worker seconded to your institute? If Zhuzi was also a formal employee, how could they have the courage to cause trouble in our institute?"

“This time, it was because of the unity of our hospital that we didn’t let them succeed.”

"But, from now on, during the work period, the pillars will inevitably have to patrol alone or with a small number of people. If those people get suffocated on the way, the consequences will be disastrous."

When Li Jiandong said this, Chief Zhang understood.

This is to ask him to help He Yuzhu adjust his position.

However, the militiamen seconded from large factories such as steel mills all participated in the patrols in a unified manner.

All clerical work can only be performed by formal staff due to confidentiality and other reasons.

If you want to change Sha Zhu's position, you have to arrange a position for him first.

Zhang took a look at the Mickey Mouse candies and imported calcium milk biscuits on the table next to him and thought to himself, no wonder they were so generous.

This pound of Mickey Mouse candy is almost the sales volume of a supply and marketing cooperative in a week. It is indeed not given for free.

But thinking about it more carefully, he realized that as the director, he couldn't just ignore the fact that He Yuzhu was injured on duty and someone came to his house to make trouble.

So he gritted his teeth and said:

"Master Li, I understand what you mean. I will find an opportunity to transfer He Yuzhu to another position."

"However, based on past experience, we may have to wait until next month to arrange it. During this time, you should ask Xiao He to be careful at home. As for the station, I will also arrange for him to patrol a place closer to our station."

Li Jiandong stood up and said with a smile: "Thank you, Chief Zhang. It's almost time to go to work, so I won't waste your time."

Zhang also smiled and sent him to the door: "Master Li, take care. When you have time in the future, come to our office more often. We welcome you anytime."

Li Jiandong waved his hand, got on the rickshaw under Zhang's envious gaze, and then after saying goodbye again and again, he started the car and left.

Return to the courtyard.

Jia Dongxu and the others were also ready to go to work. Seeing that Li Jiandong had returned from outside, Jia Dongxu and Sha Zhu asked almost in unison: "Master, did you go out just now?"

Li Jiandong didn't explain in detail, after all, things hadn't been fully implemented yet, so he nodded and said, "I went out to visit someone, you guys are ready, right? Let's go to work."

Yan Jiecheng sent Yi Zhonghai to the hospital yesterday and came back.

On the way, Li Jiandong asked Yan Jiecheng: "How is Yi Zhonghai?"

When Yan Jiecheng heard this question, he grinned and said, "Master, that old fellow Yi Zhonghai suffered a great loss yesterday. On the way I drove him to the hospital, he kept crying out in pain. Guess what? The doctor checked him and said he had a broken rib. He will have to stay in bed for several days at least. He may not even be able to come back."

When Jia Dongxu heard that Yi Zhonghai was in such a miserable state, he gloated and said, "It's what he deserves. He is a traitor and a temporary boss who doesn't help the people in our hospital. If this happened on the battlefield, he would be a traitor."

Li Jiandong also felt quite relieved. Since he came to this place, Yi Zhonghai had been causing trouble for him time and time again.

Unfortunately, they are all minor troubles, and even if you make a fuss about them, they will only be minor issues at best.

This time, Li Jiandong finally got the chance and gave him a good beating.

However, he didn't seem to hit that hard yesterday. The rib must have been broken by He Daqing or someone else.

Three poles in the sun.

The women in the yard gathered in the middle yard to wash clothes.

Xu Huizhen came in from outside with two porters. Each of them was carrying a large bag of things on their shoulders, which should be clothes, bedding and other things.

"Hey, Huizhen is moving in now?"

Qin Huairu was also in the yard. She was the only one in the yard who was familiar with Xu Huizhen because she had spoken a few words to her the day before yesterday.

Xu Huizhen smiled and said, "Huairu, good morning. Actually, I was planning to move here yesterday. There are too many things at home, and my sister wouldn't let me leave, so I moved here today."

Jia Zhang was tired from washing clothes, so she stood up and looked at Xu Huizhen and asked, "Qin Huairu, who is this?"

Others also looked over. Some of them had seen Xu Huizhen come for a blind date the day before yesterday.

However, Li Jiandong closed the door after just one glance, and I didn’t expect that he had just gone on a blind date the day before and moved in today, so I didn’t recognize him at first.

Qin Huairu smiled and introduced Xu Huizhen to everyone: "Dear sisters-in-law, this is Daqing's wife Xu Huizhen. She got the marriage certificate with Daqing yesterday. We had planned to hold the wedding banquet this weekend, but it happened to coincide with the election, so we can only postpone it to next week."

"Huizhen, these are our neighbors. This is Jia Zhang, this is Sister Zhang, this is Sister Ma, this is the daughter-in-law of the Sun family, and this is the daughter-in-law of Old Yan from the front yard..."

Qin Huairu introduced everyone in the hospital to Xu Huizhen.

Xu Huizhen also greeted them one by one.

Although Qin Huairu and Xu Huizhen were both young, Li Jiandong and He Daqing were older, especially He Daqing, who was only a few years younger than Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui in this courtyard, and the others were at most about the same age, so most of the women in front of them had to call Qin Huairu and Xu Huizhen "sister-in-law". There were new people in the middle courtyard, and everyone was very enthusiastic.

Xu Huizhen asked Wobo to move the things into the house and put them away.

Then he came out and chatted with the women, and soon he became friends with everyone.

When the deaf old lady went out to the toilet, she saw this and asked the person next to her, "Whose girl is this? Why haven't I seen her before?"

Someone kindly replied, "This is He Daqing's second wife. They met for a blind date the day before yesterday and she moved in today. Her family lives at the foot of Zhengyang Gate and she is said to be a virgin."

The deaf old lady heard this and suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

If He Daqing gets married, will he still be able to go over and cook delicious food for her often?
Although, He Daqing already had some opinions about her after the White Widow incident last time.

However, the meals have not stopped in the past two days, but it would be hard to say if he had a wife.

After going to the toilet, the deaf old lady began to think about this matter.

By noon, the women all went back home to eat.

The deaf old lady then sneaked to the central courtyard and knocked on He Daqing's door.

Xu Huizhen opened the door and saw a strange old lady. She asked politely, "Old lady, are you here to see Daqing?"

The deaf old lady hummed and squeezed past her into the house.

She took a stool and sat down, then said, "Your name is Xu Huizhen, right? I heard that you are from Qianmen Street, and you are still a virgin. How come you like Daqing, a divorced man who is more than ten years older than you?"

When Xu Huizhen saw the old lady asking this kind of question, she was not sure who He Daqing was.

Thinking that it was He Daqing's elder, she replied carefully: "Old lady, although Daqing is more than ten years older than me, I think he has good character and is capable. Two people get married to live together. As long as the person is good, I don't care whether it is the first or second marriage."

The old lady kept shaking her head:
"You are wrong, you are wrong. You are young and ignorant. You don't know how much it is to marry a divorced man. I will tell you a simple story and you will understand."

"A few days ago, He Daqing asked me to help him pursue a widow from another place. He didn't mind that she had two children, but she thought he was not good enough. Not only was he ugly and old, but he was also married for the second time and he reeked of alcohol three times a day."

"I see you are a pretty girl, and you are from the city, but why is your vision not as good as that of a widow with children from another place?"

Hearing this, Xu Huizhen knew that this old lady was definitely not an elder from He Daqing's family.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to say bad things about He Daqing behind his back.

It's obvious that he wants to break up himself and He Daqing.

Xu Huizhen immediately showed a sneer on her face: "Old lady, Daqing and I have already obtained the marriage certificate. No matter how much you say now, it can't change this fact. If you have nothing else to do, please go back first. I still have to make lunch."

When the deaf old lady heard that the marriage had already been obtained, she realized that it would be a waste of time to continue talking.

He cursed Xu Huizhen fiercely, "You silly girl, you act so rashly, you will regret it later."

Xu Huizhen was not angry at all. Instead, she walked to the door with a smile and shouted to the deaf old lady, "Old lady, please take care. I won't see you off."

At this time, Qin Huairu from the next room also came out.

He said to Xu Huizhen, "Huizhen, this old lady is not a good person. When you talk to her, you must be careful and don't fall into her trap."

Xu Huizhen smiled and said, "Huai Ru, don't worry, I have been dependent on my sister since I was a child, and I have seen a lot of people.

This old lady wanted to sow discord between me and the Qing Dynasty, but I felt embarrassed to scold her because she was too old. "

Seeing that she was alert, Qin Huairu nodded and said, "That's good, as long as you know what's going on."

…………

In the evening, get off work.

When Li Jiandong passed by the police station, he saw Sha Zhu waiting outside in advance. He had a big red flower on his chest and he smiled silly when he saw Li Jiandong.

"Hey, Zhuzi, why are you wearing a red flower?"

Jia Dongxu wanted to laugh when he saw Sha Zhu's silly look.

Sha Zhu said: "Master, Senior Brother, Second Brother, it's not because of what happened yesterday that the director praised me today and gave me a reward."

"That's great, Zhuzi. You've received an award just a few days after you started working. That's much better than me and your senior brother."

Yan Jiecheng said as he jumped down from the cart and said to Sha Zhu, "Come on, you must be tired after patrolling all day. Go back with Master and the others on the cart. I just practiced driving all day, so I'll take a run on the way home to stretch my body."

Sha Zhu was a little hesitant, but when he saw Li Jiandong waving at him, he said, "Come up."

Then he went forward and sat in.

After returning home, Qin Huairu told Li Jiandong that the deaf old lady had gone to He Daqing's house at noon and instigated Xu Huizhen to break up with He Daqing. Li Jiandong knew the deaf old lady's character and was not surprised by this.

After washing their hands, they sat down and started eating.

While we were eating, we suddenly heard a deaf old woman's duck-like voice shouting outside.

"He Daqing, you are such a heartless man. You have a new daughter-in-law and you don't care about me, an old lady. Come quickly and cook for me. Madam, I am hungry today."

He Daqing had just returned home from get off work and was packing up his things with Sha Zhu, preparing to let him move into Yu Shui's room.

Xu Huizhen was cooking in the kitchen. When she heard the old lady's voice, she frowned:
"Brother Daqing, this old lady is here again. She came to see me this afternoon when you were not at home, and she also said bad things about you behind your back."

Xu Huizhen was also a ruthless person. She had no intention of hiding anything for the deaf old lady and told He Daqing everything that happened at noon.

He Daqing got angry when he heard this.

"Huizhen, listen to me, this old lady is talking nonsense. She and Bai Qingzhu teamed up to plot against me. She even locked me in a room with someone else and tried to force me to do something with her. Fortunately, my brother Lao Li reminded me, so I didn't fall for their trick."

Xu Huizhen smiled and comforted: "Brother Daqing, I believe you. This old lady is not a good person at first glance. Let's stay away from her in the future."

He Daqing nodded: "Huizhen, you are right, I will go out and explain it to her."

With that, He Daqing opened the door and walked out.

The deaf old lady was standing under the veranda. When she saw the door open, she stopped and shouted:

"He Daqing, you've become successful. You've forgotten your mother's things now that you have a wife. It's been several days since you made me a delicious meal. Come with me to the backyard and cook."

Ever since the last incident with the White Widow, He Daqing felt that the old lady was not a good person. Today, he heard that she was trying to break up him and Xu Huizhen behind his back, and he no longer had any good feelings towards her.

"Old lady, I won't make delicious food for you anymore. Please go back."

When the deaf old lady heard that He Daqing didn't cook for her anymore, she immediately started to curse with her crutches:

"You are such a heartless person. Have you forgotten that you asked me to teach you how to cook? A teacher is a father for life. Do you understand this? If I teach you how to cook, you have to take care of me for the rest of my life."

After hearing this, Xu Huizhen walked out of the house.

He sneered, "Old lady, it is true that a teacher is a father for life, but I have never heard of a teacher who speaks ill of his apprentice in front of his apprentice's wife. You yourself do not even consider my Daqing brother as a family member. How can you have the nerve to let my Daqing brother take care of you for the rest of your life?"

"You fart."

The deaf old lady was furious: "What do you know, little vixen?
I have known for a long time that you are not a good person, so I wanted you to leave the Qing Dynasty.

Humph! You are relying on your youth and good looks to seduce men. I will tear your face off."

The deaf old lady was very fierce and was the one that no one in the entire street could control.

He threw his crutch to the ground and pounced towards Xu Huizhen with his teeth and claws bared.

"Old lady, calm down." He Daqing didn't dare let her hurt Xu Huizhen, so he stood between Xu Huizhen and the old lady. The old lady scratched his face and left several scars.

When Xu Huizhen saw her husband was scratched, she pushed the old lady anxiously and pushed the deaf old lady out of the corridor, where she fell on her back.

"Oh my! I won't live any longer. You all come out and see, this new daughter-in-law is bullying the old man."

"I am the ancestor of our hospital!"

“To be fair, I was beaten like this.

If we let her live in our courtyard, will we still be able to live a peaceful life in the future? We must kick her out."
