Chapter 1114 Director Chen's Magnanimity
After some persuasion, Section Chief Lü finally left the courtyard with the security personnel.
Seeing this, the residents breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, Chen Jun persuaded Section Chief Lü to leave, otherwise they would have really had to go to the security department for questioning. With so many people in the courtyard, it would have taken so much time to question them one by one, and they might not have finished even by 10 o'clock.
But what will happen to that calligraphy now that the security department and the police have left?
Although the calligraphy was by Chen Jun, as a resident of the courtyard house, one can still bask in some of the honor. At the very least, the title of "Advanced Courtyard House" is guaranteed every year.
An advanced courtyard house may not seem like much, but if suitable jobs come along in the future, they will definitely be given priority.
"Chen Jun, we have to keep looking!" Liu Haizhong was unwilling to give up.
With that calligraphy in the courtyard, Liu Haizhong could stand taller than the other officials when he went to meetings at the street office.
"Not in a hurry!"
Chen Jun waved his hand and then shouted to the crowd, "Thank you all for coming to help. Later, each household will send a representative to my house to collect the eggs, six per household."
The system's warehouse has tons of eggs; distributing 100 jin to each household would be more than enough, but doing so would be too obvious.
Based on the yield of the few hens his family raises, six chickens per household would be just right, meaning one chicken per person on average, and perhaps two chickens per person for families with fewer members.
These words immediately caused an uproar among the residents.
Good guy!
Six eggs for each household!
Chen Jun truly lives up to his title as the director of the steel rolling mill; he's incredibly generous, casually giving away so many eggs.
"Hey, I didn't expect to get eggs too! Chen Jun is really generous!"
"My child was saying yesterday that he wanted to eat eggs, but it's almost the end of the month, and we don't have any spare money to buy eggs."
"Hey, is this appropriate? We didn't even help."
"Why say so much? Just take it if they give it to you."
And so, the residents lined up on their own initiative, with Uncle Yan Bugui standing at the very front.
With the help of Chen Xueru and Lin Yao, a large basket of eggs was carried out of the house.
When Jia Zhangshi saw so many eggs, her eyes lit up.
"That damn guy, he really knows how to win people over."
He was grumbling under his breath, but his body betrayed him as he joined the queue. However, instead of going to the back of the line, he spotted someone with a gentle personality and cut in.
"Thank you, Chen Jun. I'll come back to look for it in the yard after I've had dinner."
"I'm coming too, I'm coming too."
The residents who received the eggs felt that Chen Jun was being too generous, and they didn't feel comfortable taking just six eggs, so they decided to come back and help again later.
"Could you give me a few more? My daughter-in-law is heavily pregnant and needs nutrition."
When it came to Jia Zhangshi, she felt that six eggs were too stingy.
But Chen Jun simply waved his hand and said, "Go away, you won't get any eggs."
"Why?"
Jia Zhangshi was immediately displeased. Chen Jun had just said that everyone in the courtyard could come and collect eggs, six per household, so why couldn't she?
on purpose!
It must be deliberately targeting the Jia family.
"Did anyone in your family help search for things?" Chen Jun asked in return.
Whether in the courtyard or inside the house, Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi stood by and watched the commotion, not only failing to help but also making a lot of sarcastic remarks.
How dare they come to collect eggs?
"I don't care, you just said that everyone in the hospital sent representatives to collect the eggs, you didn't say that we couldn't collect them!" Jia Zhangshi argued irrationally, and then actually reached into the basket to grab eggs.
"Snapped!"
A blur flashed before her eyes, and then Jia Zhangshi felt a burning pain on the back of her hand.
"what!!!!"
The stinging pain made Jia Zhangshi scream in agony, as if her hand had been whipped by a steel bar.
"You dare to hit me?"
Jia Zhangshi clutched the back of her hand, her round face contorted in pain.
It hurts so much!
Chen Jun went too far; one slap made Jia Zhangshi feel like she was having malaria.
"You stole my eggs, and I'm not allowed to stop you?" Chen Jun sneered, "Get lost, or I'll slap you across the face!"
"They're bullying us! They're bullying orphans and widows!"
"Everyone come and see! Chen Jun, this leader, is bullying us orphans and widows. Not only did he not give us eggs, but he also hit us! Old Jia, Dongxu, please come back and take a look!"
Knowing she was in the wrong and couldn't beat Chen Jun, Jia Zhangshi skillfully resorted to singing, dancing, and rapping, jumping up and then sitting down on the ground with practiced ease.
The residents who witnessed this scene all frowned.
"Jia Zhangshi, are you out of your mind? If you're going to summon a spirit, get out of here and don't delay me from getting my eggs! Besides, that good-for-nothing Jia Dongxu was a coward when he was alive, and he's nothing even when he's dead. Even if you really summoned him, so what?" Xu Damao cursed without any restraint, hitting Jia Zhangshi right where it hurt!
"Jia Zhangshi, why are you getting eggs if you haven't done any work? Move aside, don't delay us from getting them."
"Yes, we have to be reasonable. You've been watching the show the whole time, so there's no reason for me to give you eggs."
"Get out of the way, I'm in a hurry to get home for dinner!"
Those at the back of the line were the most vocal in their complaints, and Xu Damao even started to physically grab Jia Zhangshi by the leg and drag her aside.
"Let's just follow our own path and ignore her!"
Xu Damao clapped his hands, signaling the team to continue forward.
"You damned Xu Damao, you'll be in big trouble sooner or later!"
Seeing that her unreasonable demands were ineffective, Jia Zhangshi patted her bottom, stood up, threw down some harsh words, and went home cursing.
As soon as she entered the house, Madam Jia vented her anger on Qin Huairu.
"Useless trash! I'm getting yelled at outside while you're just relaxing at home. What good are you?!"
Qin Huairu glanced at her and went straight to the point: "That calligraphy in Chen Jun's room, you stole it, didn't you?"
"Bullshit!"
Although Jia Zhangshi denied it verbally, her eyes were already darting away.
“Even if you don’t admit it, I know it was you who did it.” Qin Huairu sighed. “Since you’ve already stolen it, then you absolutely must not take it out again. As long as the item isn’t discovered, Chen Jun can’t do anything to us.”
The recent hospital-wide search terrified Qin Huairu, but she never expected that Jia Zhangshi had learned her lesson this time and was not found during the search.
It's a good thing that Qin Huairu didn't find anything. As long as she can't find anything in her lifetime, Jia Zhangshi will always be safe.
"I don't understand what you're saying!"
Madam Jia sat down irritably and poured herself a glass of water: "Chen Jun deliberately didn't give me the eggs just now, because he wanted me to lose face in front of the whole hospital."
"Hmph, he actually dares to offend me now. Let's see how long he can keep up his smugness once the news of that calligraphy being stolen reaches the ears of the higher-ups!"
"Mom! Stop causing trouble. Let's leave it at that. Tell me the truth: where is that calligraphy hidden? Is it safe?" Qin Huairu questioned.
