Chapter 442 You are talking nonsense!
Not long after, the people from the street office really came and said they wanted to investigate Chu Tian. At this moment, the courtyard was like a pot of boiling water, and the originally quiet courtyard suddenly became lively. After hearing the noise, the people in the courtyard came out of their houses one after another. Some stood at the door, and some gathered in the middle of the courtyard, whispering to each other, their eyes full of curiosity and gossip, all wanting to see how this excitement would end. Chu Tian stood at the door of his house, looking at the staff of the street office calmly, without any fear in his heart. He knew that he was upright and had nothing to be afraid of. The staff began to ask some questions, and Chu Tian answered them one by one without being humble or arrogant, in a clear and orderly manner, without the slightest panic. At this time, Qin Huairu also mixed in the crowd, her eyes flickered, and she looked at Chu Tian from time to time, as if she was expecting something. And Sha Zhu frowned, with a hint of doubt on his face. Although he had a conflict with Chu Tian before, he also felt that this matter was a bit strange at the moment. Other neighbors were talking about it. Some said Chu Tian didn't look like that kind of person, while others shook their heads to say they didn't know the situation. Various speculations came one after another, filling the whole yard with noisy sounds. Chu Tian looked around, looking at these familiar yet unfamiliar faces, and secretly made up his mind to find the person who maliciously reported him behind his back and clear his name. He couldn't let these groundless accusations and rumors ruin his life.
The staff of the subdistrict office looked at Chu Tian with a serious expression and asked, "Someone reported that you have a chaotic private life. Do you have anything to say?" Chu Tian raised his head slightly, and answered calmly with a firm look in his eyes, "I have nothing to say, because this is totally groundless. My daily life is to go to get off work and come home to read and rest, and I also keep a proper distance from my neighbors. How can I say that my private life is chaotic?" The staff continued to ask while recording, "Then have you had frequent contacts with anyone recently?" Chu Tian said without hesitation, "No, I have always kept myself out of trouble and don't have any particularly close contacts." At this time, Yi Zhonghai, an old man in the yard, put his hands behind his back and said, "No, I have always kept to myself and don't have any particularly close contacts." , frowned slightly, with a hint of doubt and thought in his eyes, as if he was trying to recall Chu Tian's usual behavior to see if there was anything unusual; the second uncle Liu Haizhong straightened his back, staring at Chu Tian and the staff, with an expression on his face that wanted to show his authority, as if he was thinking about what would happen if he handled this matter himself, and muttered from time to time: "This matter must be checked out..."; the third uncle Yan Bugui pushed his glasses, his eyes rolled around, secretly calculating in his mind what impact this matter would have on the interpersonal relationships in the courtyard and himself, and at the same time paying attention to the reactions of the people around him, preparing to say a few words when the opportunity arises. Sha Zhu stood aside with his arms folded across his chest. At first, he had a hint of gloating on his face, after all, he had conflicts with Chu Tian before. But after listening to Chu Tian's answer, he couldn't help but hesitate, and muttered in his heart: "What Chu Tian said doesn't seem to be a lie. Is there really someone who deliberately discredits him?" Sha Zhu's eyes gradually became more suspicious, and his original idea that Chu Tian had a problem began to waver. The other neighbors were also whispering to each other.
When Sha Zhu heard Chu Tian's rebuttal, his face turned pale and red, but he still stiffened his neck and insisted: "Don't pretend here, everyone in our yard knows that you and the widow Qin Huairu hang out together all day long!" Chu Tian looked at Sha Zhu coldly, without a trace of panic in his eyes, and calmly asked: "Do you have any evidence? If you don't have any evidence, don't slander me here." Sha Zhu was panicked by Chu Tian's question, his eyes dodged, and he stammered: "I... I saw it that day, I saw you two in the house..." Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by people in the yard. The yard suddenly exploded like a pot, and everyone started talking. Someone said loudly: "Shazhu, don't talk nonsense. We all see how Chu Tian behaves. You are probably jealous that Chu Tian is richer than you, has a better job than you, and is more popular with girls than you!" As soon as this was said, everyone around him followed suit: "That's right, maybe you wrote this letter of complaint, and you want to take the opportunity to make trouble for Chu Tian." When Shazhu heard this, he stamped his feet in anxiety, blushed, and argued loudly: "You are talking nonsense! Am I that kind of person? I really saw it, and I did it to maintain the atmosphere in the courtyard." But his voice seemed a little weak amid the doubts of the crowd, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. His hands kept rubbing on his pants, and he was obviously guilty. Chu Tian looked at the chaotic scene in front of him, feeling helpless and ridiculous. He knew that most of these people were just watching the fun, and few of them really cared about the truth. But he also believed that those who were innocent would be innocent, and these unwarranted accusations and rumors would eventually fall apart.
The fate of the Siheyuan is turning point. The Siheyuan in Beijing, with its gray walls and blue tiles, bears the traces of time and is intertwined with the grievances and hatreds between neighbors. Chu Tian, an ordinary person who has a unique persistence in this Siheyuan, silently witnesses everything that happens in the yard. Sha Zhu originally had a good job as a chef in the steel rolling mill. Although he was a little noisy on weekdays, his cooking skills were still good. However, Sha Zhu has been unlucky recently. He made a big mistake in the factory. The meals he prepared for a group of important customers were either too salty or too hot because of his negligence, which made the customers extremely dissatisfied and complained to the factory leaders. After repeated warnings from the factory leaders, Sha Zhu still did not correct his clumsy and careless problems, and was eventually dismissed by the steel rolling mill. This sudden unemployment made Sha Zhu feel like the sky had fallen. He didn't have much savings and was used to spending money lavishly. Now that he had no income, his life suddenly fell into trouble. What was even more difficult for him to accept was that his fellow workers, who used to be close to him, avoided him after he fell into poverty, which made Sha Zhu feel unprecedented loneliness and betrayal. The resentment in Sha Zhu's heart grew wildly like weeds, and he blamed all the misfortunes on Director Yang. On a gloomy afternoon, Sha Zhu learned the route Director Yang took to go out on business, so he stopped Director Yang's car on the way.
When Director Yang's car slowly stopped, he saw Sha Zhu, who looked angry, and couldn't help but frown. Sha Zhu rushed to the car with red eyes and shouted: "Director Yang, why did you fire me? I have worked in the factory for so many years. I have worked hard even if I have no merits! You are destroying my livelihood!" Director Yang looked at him calmly and said: "Sha Zhu, this is your own mistake. You have caused losses to the factory many times. I have given you a chance."
