At the home of Wang Jun, the director of the sub-district office.
Wang Jun was eating at the time.
Upon seeing Yi Zhonghai arrive with the two young girls, Xiao Dang and Xiao Huaihua, Wang Jun found he could no longer eat.
"Director Wang, I really can't handle this matter anymore!"
Yi Zhonghai said with a stern face, "Ever since Bang Geng was released from prison, the sub-district office has already taken custody of the two girls!"
"Their relief funds were also all taken by Bang Geng!"
"Now that these two girls have no food, I can only ask Director Wang to help us find a way!"
Wang Jun replied with an awkward smile, "Old Yi, I know this might be a bit of pressure for you!"
"But you know the situation. Bang Geng is simply an unreasonable troublemaker!"
"Even if we try to reason with such a fellow, he might not listen!"
"But fortunately, Bang Geng has now come to his senses!"
"Congratulations, Old Yi!"
"You will have someone to carry on your legacy. Your bond with these two girls will only grow stronger, and they will never be deceived by Bang Geng again!"
The nonsensical words Wang Jun spoke would surely fool ordinary people!
However, his empty promises wouldn't work on Yi Zhonghai.
After all, Yi Zhonghai was an old fox, not a clueless, rule-breaking youngster.
"Director Wang!"
Yi Zhonghai said solemnly, "I understand all the grand principles you've told me!"
"But when we handle issues, we must speak from a realistic perspective!"
"I myself am a disabled person, and it's very difficult to support myself."
"Now, you've decided to give the relief funds to Bang Geng, and expect me to support these two girls?"
"No matter how you look at it, this is unreasonable, isn't it?"
Yi Zhonghai kept making excuses and delaying, dragging on for a long time without agreeing to handle the matter.
Wang Jun was also starting to get anxious.
"Yi Zhonghai, you must recognize the situation!"
"Ultimately, you are the father of these two girls. No matter what difficulties you have, you cannot abandon your daughters!"
"If you abandon these two girls now, it would be an illegal act!"
"Heh heh..."
Yi Zhonghai let out a cold laugh. "Wang Jun, since you're not going to reason with me, let's cut the crap!"
"I'm not taking care of these two girls anyway. Do whatever you want!"
"From now on, they'll eat and sleep at your place!"
"Eat up, Xiao Dang, Huaihua, don't be polite to Director Wang!"
Yi Zhonghai beckoned the two girls, and they started eating at Wang Jun's house.
This scene completely enraged Wang Jun, but as the director of the sub-district office, he couldn't directly resort to violence!
Meanwhile, after settling the two young girls from the Jia family, Yi Zhonghai left without looking back.
No matter how Wang Jun called out to him, Yi Zhonghai didn't stop.
Yi Zhonghai was confident that Wang Jun wouldn't dare to do anything to him.
When the relief funds were disbursed, Yi Zhonghai had also come to Wang Jun to ask for the money.
However, after careful consideration, Wang Jun decided to give the money to Bang Geng.
In handling this matter, Wang Jun had already angered Yi Zhonghai.
Wang Jun's reasoning was: Bang Geng had just been released from prison, and his craving for food was understandable!
With patient guidance, Bang Geng would understand right from wrong, cut back on expenses, and live a good life!
The Jia family was in utter disarray, as pathetic as could be.
In such circumstances, Wang Jun naturally sympathized with the Jia family.
As a result, this mess had been created, and it was impossible to resolve.
It was fine for the two girls from the Jia family to have a meal at Wang Jun's house.
But for Yi Zhonghai to expect Wang Jun to support them long-term was sheer fantasy!
Who would want to do such a thankless job?
Since Wang Jun couldn't persuade Yi Zhonghai himself, he had to ask the police from the police station to persuade Yi Zhonghai.
Unfortunately, Yi Zhonghai was now emboldened and remained unmoved, even when uniformed police officers arrived.
Officer Zhao Kun earnestly advised Yi Zhonghai, "Old Yi, I know your life is very difficult right now!"
"But you can rest assured, the sub-district office has promised to do its utmost to help you resolve your difficulties!"
"The sub-district office is also facing considerable difficulties at the moment."
"Old Yi, you've been a veteran comrade in this courtyard for many years. Old comrades have high moral standards and should be as accommodating and understanding as possible!"
Yi Zhonghai said in a deep voice, "I'm always accommodating and understanding of others!"
"Isn't there anyone who can be accommodating and understanding of me for once?"
"I am also a disabled person, and my life is very difficult. Even affording three meals a day is a struggle."
"The monthly relief for those two young girls is only three yuan. Even if I budget meticulously, it's not enough."
"I've been keeping my own difficulties in mind, considering the sub-district office's own struggles."
"What is this situation now?"
"At the time, it was Wang Jun who forced me to give Bang Geng over a hundred yuan!"
"Later, the Jia family's relief funds were also personally handed over to Bang Geng by Wang Jun!"
"I just want to know, what else does he, Wang Jun, want from me?"
"If I abandon the two girls maliciously, then arrest me!"
"If I go to prison, at least I won't starve to death!"
"I can't survive a single day out here!"
Zhao Kun looked back at Wang Jun and replied with a wry smile, "Director Wang!"
"Now that things have escalated to this point, it's not entirely Old Yi's fault!"
"When you handled this matter yourself, it was clearly somewhat inadequate."
"Bang Geng, although he's of a certain age, his social experience is really too shallow."
"Giving him a large sum of over a hundred yuan all at once, was that really appropriate?"
"I this..." Wang Jun didn't know what to say at this point.
Wang Jun had his reasons for handling things this way back then.
Zhang Cuihua had only recently passed away, and Qin Huairu had been sentenced to life imprisonment!
The Jia family could now be considered utterly ruined!
The remaining orphans were in dire straits.
How could Wang Jun be unaware of the disputes and conflicts between the Jia family and Yi Zhonghai over the years?
Many people were spreading rumors that Yi Zhonghai had caused Jia Dongxu's death.
