The old lady's legs were not yet strong enough to walk a long distance. The aunt simply went to the nearby yard to borrow a donkey that rode backwards, and took the old lady straight to the office of the community committee.
When we got there, the aunt wanted to go into the courtyard to find someone, but she was stopped by the old lady.
"We are not here to ask for help, we are here to ask for an explanation." The deaf old lady said, "When you come to the Yamen to handle matters, you have to ask for help, and it depends on others. But if you want to ask for an explanation, you have to complain.
, think about it, he has to do it even if he doesn’t do it, this is different.”
"Old lady, what age are we in now? Where can we still complain about injustice?" The eldest mother couldn't laugh or cry, "You are talking about the old society!"
"What kind of society is this? Isn't that just the back and forth?" The deaf old lady disagreed, "What has changed is the system, not the people's hearts. Look at me, just stand aside."
After saying this, the deaf old lady raised her crutches and banged on the side of the tricycle, making a loud "bang-bang-bang" sound, while shouting at the top of her lungs.
"Fat Ya! Fat Ya Liu! Is Fat Ya Liu here?"
Although the old lady is old, she still has a loud voice.
As soon as she shouted, the staff in the community were called out.
"Old lady! What's the matter with you? This is the community office, how can we do our work with you making so much noise and shouting?" A young girl hurriedly ran out and complained, "Stop knocking you, you want to
Looking for someone, right?”
"Yes, I'm looking for someone!" The deaf old lady said with a straight face, "Call out the fat girl from the Liu family."
"There is no such person!" the little girl waved her hand, "Did you find the wrong place? Did you remember the wrong name?"
"Impossible! Old lady, although my eyesight is a bit blurry, my memory is good!" The deaf old lady said and shouted at the top of her voice: "Fat Ya! Liu Fat Ya!"
"Stop shouting, old lady! I'm coming! I'm coming!" came a shy voice, and then Liu Guifen walked out of the door with a dark look on her face.
"Hey, isn't this Fatty Liu? She said she didn't have one..." the deaf old lady pointed at Liu Guifen and cooed to the young girl.
The little girl's eyes widened, her face instantly turned red from holding back, and she looked like she wanted to laugh but didn't dare.
"Xiao Sun, please go back!" Liu Guifen waved her hand.
"Yes, Director Liu!" The little girl ran back as fast as she could. Immediately afterwards, the sound of laughter came from the building.
Liu Guifen looked helpless and said to the deaf old lady: "You really...don't give me any face. I haven't heard the name Fatty for decades. Now, everyone in the workplace knows my name is Fatty."
Damn it, you really deserve it!"
"You know it, you are fat. Are you afraid that people will find out?" said the deaf old lady, "Have you forgotten the time when you were a child and shamelessly came to my house to ask for sweets? At that time, when I called you Fat Ya, you were so stupid.
I just ran here and now I’m not happy…”
"Okay, okay, you always want to call me whatever you want." Liu Guifen felt dizzy and hurriedly said with a smile, "Old lady, what do you want from me?"
The deaf old lady said: "Silly Zhu, that's my grandson, the grandson who took care of me in my old age! He was arrested by you, I don't have to ask why!"
"He Yuzhu?" Liu Guifen had a headache, "Old lady, this matter is handled by the police station and has nothing to do with our community."
"You don't care, Fatty?" the deaf old lady stared at Liu Guifen and said, "This is the first time my old lady has come to your door. You don't care about me..."
"Just take care of it, my aunt, can't I take care of it?" Liu Guifen said helplessly, "Just wait, I'll go back and get something, and then take you to the police station myself. You also know the director, Liangzi, Shan Guoliang.
"
"Old Dan's family? Who's the old lady?" asked the deaf old lady.
"The second child," Liu Guifen said, "is the one who stole the goldfish from your house that year and almost had your buttocks opened to spend on it."
"It has some influence." The deaf old lady thought for a while, "It's like a little monkey who has lost weight."
Liu Guifen couldn't help but laugh: "When you see him later, call him little monkey!"
"Okay, I'll tell you what you asked me to do." The deaf old lady agreed.
Liu Guifen was stunned and said humbly: "Then you'd better stop calling me. I can't afford to offend you, the director."
"Go quickly, go quickly, don't talk nonsense with me." The deaf old lady waved her hand and urged, "I'm still anxious to see my eldest grandson!"
"The old lady is quite impatient." Liu Guifen grunted, turned around and hurried in.
After the aunt and others walked away, the aunt asked worriedly: "Old lady, this Liu Guifen is the deputy director. She is a big official. How can you be so rude to her?"
"The more rude I am to her, the more polite she will be to me." The deaf old lady said, "You are stupid. You don't understand even if I tell you, don't ask."
The old lady looked down on her, which made the eldest mother a little depressed.
After a while, Liu Guifen came out with a storage bag. She handed the storage bag to the aunt and said: "This is for your courtyard son Su Yuanchao. It is the procedure for the room to the north of the east wing of the front courtyard.
Yesterday, the meeting agreed to give it to him. Since you are here, I ask you to bring it to him. Tell him to go to the Housing Authority to pay the money quickly and come back to me after that."
"Okay, I'll tell him." The eldest mother agreed, took the luggage bag, looked around, and stuffed the bag under the floor mat of the truck body.
"The east wing of the front yard is to the north..." The deaf old lady thought for a while and said with some emotion: "This house has been empty for many years. It's a pity. Now someone finally wants it. If you ask me, don't do anything wrong.
If you are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, why should you be afraid of hanging someone? From ancient times to the present, there have been no ghosts who died unjustly in this imperial city. If you really avoid this, then there will be no clean place..."
"Ouch, old lady, don't you dare say such nonsense!" Liu Guifen was startled, looked around hurriedly, got a little nervous and leaned closer and lowered her voice, "Old lady, please stop hanging on to these gods and ghosts.
It's on my lips. Recently, the wind has become more and more serious. Our unit holds rectification meetings every three days to correct our thinking. You old man, please take it easy. Sooner or later, this wind will blow downwards. Let me tell you, you must not act inappropriately.
What's going on..."
The deaf old lady laughed and said: "Listen to others' advice and eat enough. I will listen to you."
Liu Guifen was happy: "Old lady, you are sensible. Okay, then I will take you to the police station. I will ride there, and you should follow me."
The aunt quickly got on the car and said to the deaf old lady: "You still have a lot of face. If it were anyone else, you wouldn't be able to invite Fatty Liu."
"This is the only benefit of living for a long time." The deaf old lady said leisurely, "Walk and keep up."
"Okay!"
All the way to the police station, Liu Guifen was indeed familiar with the traffic. She easily dismissed the guard, took the deaf old lady and the eldest mother and went straight to the director's office, met with the director Shan Guoliang, and explained the situation.
This made Aunt Ma admire the old lady's foresight even more. If the two of them had come by themselves, they would never have been able to meet the real owner so smoothly and go straight to the topic.
Violent agencies like the police system are actually very taboo about acquaintances coming to their door. If it weren't for Liu Guifen, the old lady might not be able to see Shan Guoliang in person.
Even so, Shan Guoliang looked embarrassed, sighed and smiled bitterly at the old lady: "Old lady, it stands to reason that we are all children who have grown up under your eyes. If you come to see me in person, I can't help but
To give you face. But we are really disciplined. During the trial stage, we must not disclose the situation to the outside world. Especially since we just dealt with a policeman because of this matter, the lessons from the past are still in front of us..."
After a pause, Shan Guoliang continued: "The policeman being dealt with is actually related to your courtyard. He is the fiancé of He Yuzhu's sister He Yuzhu. Old lady, unless I don't want this job, I really can't tell you more.
What."
The deaf old lady sighed and said: "You have already said so. If I make things difficult for you again, it will be because I am relying on my elders and selling my elders, which is shameless."
"I dare not say that to the old lady." Shan Guoliang waved his hand hurriedly.
"Then let me meet Silly Zhu, is that okay?" the deaf old lady said, "If you are worried, find someone to watch. I just want to ask my eldest grandson, how is he usually a warm-hearted young man?
, why do you suddenly have to go to the prison? A person who has never stolen a needle before, why is he stealing this and taking that again? This person can't suddenly become a different person, right? "
Shan Guoliang said: "Old lady, if you want to see him, you have to wait a few more days. You can't do it now."
"You can't even meet me? You won't let me know anything?" The deaf old lady nodded, "Director Shan, you are selfless and a good leader..."
"Old lady, you are scolding me by saying this..." Shan Guoliang smiled bitterly.
"I'm complimenting you, how can I be scolding you?" the deaf old lady said, "You enforce the law impartially and make decisions for the people. How great is that? OK, you check yours, and when the investigation is completed, tell me what the old lady did.
Come on, this doesn’t violate your discipline, does it?”
The deaf old lady looked at Shan Guoliang: "It's just a matter of catching an adulterer or a thief and taking the stolen goods. When the time comes, you have to tell me how Silly Zhu stole the chicken and the meat. Why do you think he stole it? This requirement
, it should be reasonable, right?”
Shan Guoliang thought for a while and said: "Old lady, I can tell you something. But I don't recognize you after you leave this house."
"Say." the deaf old lady said.
"He Yuzhu insisted that he was responsible for stealing chickens and meat. This is not a big deal. You admit it yourself, and we don't need to continue the investigation." Shan Guoliang said, "Another one is stealing public property.
Okay, the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill has responded that we are willing to cooperate with the investigation. The preliminary procedures for this case have basically been completed. If there are no changes, our next step will be to file a public prosecution. Because the progress is going very smoothly, what confession should be required?
Everything is already there, so the process will be very fast and can be completed the day after tomorrow at the latest.”
The deaf old lady understood the implication of Shan Guoliang's words and her expression was solemn.
She was silent for a long time before saying: "If the leaders at the steel rolling mill come forward to deal with this matter, will there be any improvement?"
Shan Guoliang said with a smile: "Old lady, because someone reported that residents of your compound had their property stolen, we have prepared the case first. In other words, this is already under our jurisdiction, and the steel rolling mill has no control over it.
.”
"Then what if your plan is withdrawn?" The deaf old lady is indeed a mature woman, and she immediately grasped the key point.
Shan Guoliang said with a smile: "Then we will hand him over to the security department of the steel rolling mill. They will handle their internal affairs themselves. However, there will be a handover procedure between us. This will leave a foundation for the steel rolling mill.
Reporting the results to the district must be dealt with seriously, but to what extent the seriousness should be taken is more flexible."
The deaf old lady nodded thoughtfully: "I probably understand."
Shan Guoliang said: "Old lady, thank you for understanding me. I will go home to see you another day."
The deaf old lady stood up with a smile and said: "You are driving me away. Yes, my old lady knows what I am doing."
"Look, you are being harsh again." Shan Guoliang stood up helplessly and came over to help the deaf old lady.
"My deafness is quite serious. I can't always hear people talking," said the deaf old lady.
Shan Guoliang said with a smile: "Maybe I didn't say what you wanted to hear. But it's not my fault. If you are, it's Liu Guifen's fault. She's not sensible. She should have taken you to see her. Come to me. This
Didn’t you come to the Kitchen God Temple to pray for rain?”
"Director Shan Da is criticizing me." Liu Guifen's eyes flashed and she said with a smile, "I accept the criticism and will definitely correct it."
Shan Guoliang said nothing more. He smiled and helped the deaf old lady to leave: "Old lady, let me see you off..."
The smile on Shan Guoliang's face gradually faded as he helped the old lady onto the donkey that was riding upside down and watched the three of them go away.
Zhao Desheng on the side came up and said: "It's a single game, so will this relationship still be concluded?"
"Knot? How?" Shan Guoliang said, "Didn't you listen to what the old lady said? If she really asks me for an explanation, where can I go to give it to her? Then He Yuzhu's motivation for stealing and the process of committing the crime are confusing.
The contradiction is obviously being blamed for others. That is to say, we are too lazy to bother with this trivial matter, plus other factors, so we will not delve into it. But as you just saw, every year during the New Year, the district leaders have to visit the old lady.
, when the time comes, if she says anything casually, will I still be able to celebrate the New Year?"
"He Yuzhu admitted it himself, what does it have to do with us? We don't mind who she tells this matter to. What are we afraid of with normal procedures?" Zhao Desheng said, "Besides, isn't it troublesome for Su Yuanchao? You asked me to take care of it before.
If so, I’ll bring it.”
"It's a normal procedure, but can I really not give the old lady any face?" Shan Guoliang sighed, "Don't worry about Su Yuanchao. Didn't he himself say there was a misunderstanding? What I should have said just now.
I've given it to Liu Guifen. This old woman is smart and must know what I mean. Let the old lady and Su Yuanchao discuss it among themselves and wait for them for a day. If nothing happens by the time they get off work tomorrow afternoon, nothing will happen.
News, report it!"
"yes!"
On the other side, the aunt sighed and said to the deaf old lady while pedaling: "What did I say? Silly Zhu broke the national law, and no one can do anything about it. You don't believe it. Well, it was a waste of time, right?"
"You know nothing!" the deaf old lady snorted, "Tell Fat Ya to stop and let her come."
