Chapter 1075 Escape the Law?
He rolled his eyes again and said, "Director, I heard that you want to buy a bicycle recently. I happen to have a bicycle ticket in my hand. How about I give it to you and you will let me go?"
The director of the subdistrict office looked gloomy: "Are you trying to bribe me?"
"No, no, it's just a small gift, not a respect." He Yudong said with a smile.
The director of the subdistrict office stared at him for a long time, and suddenly sneered: "Do you think you can escape legal sanctions like this? You are too naive!"
He Yudong's heart sank, it seemed like he was doomed this time.
Just then, a woman's voice came from outside the door: "Director, can I come in?"
The director of the subdistrict office frowned and said, "Come in."
The door opened and a young woman in plain clothes walked in.
He Yudong recognized her at a glance. It was Qin Huairu.
"Qin Huairu, why are you here?" He Yudong asked in surprise.
Qin Huairu ignored him and walked up to the director of the subdistrict office and said, "Director, I'm here to plead for He Yudong."
"Plead for mercy? He made such a big mistake, why are you pleading for him?" asked the director of the subdistrict office puzzledly.
Qin Huairu bit her lip and said, "Director, He Yudong...he actually wanted to help me..."
She paused, her eyes reddened, and continued, "My family situation is special. I have three hungry children and my husband has been bedridden for years. Life is really difficult. He Yudong felt sorry for me and secretly helped me get some coupons so that I could exchange some money to supplement the family income..."
As she spoke, tears began to flow.
The director of the street office looked at her and didn't speak for a long time.
He Yudong was stunned. He didn't expect Qin Huairu to say such a thing.
He felt mixed emotions and didn't know what to say.
Did Qin Huairu mean what she said sincerely, or did she have other purposes?
The rapid knocks on the door became louder and louder, as if they were about to break the door. He Yudong's heart skipped a beat, thinking to himself, "Oh no, has someone reported me?" He walked carefully to the door and looked out through the peephole.
There were three men in uniform standing outside the door. He knew one of them, Director Liu from the Street Office. He Yudong took a deep breath and opened the door.
"Comrade He Yudong, we have received a report that you are engaging in speculation and privately buying and selling tickets. Please come with us." Director Liu said in a serious tone.
He Yudong's face turned pale, and he said calmly, "Director Liu, you must be mistaken. How could I do such a thing?"
"You'll know when you get there whether you're kidding or not." Another man interrupted him rudely, grabbed his arm and dragged him out.
He Yudong struggled desperately, but to no avail. He was taken to the street office and locked in a small dark room.
The room was dark and damp, filled with a musty smell. He Yudong huddled in a corner, shivering. He didn't know what would happen next, and his heart was filled with fear and despair.
Is his time-travel career going to end like this?
A few hours later, Director Liu walked in with several tickets in his hand. They were the bicycle tickets, sewing plane tickets and watch tickets that He Yudong had purchased earlier.
"Do you have anything else to say about these things?" Director Liu asked sternly.
He Yudong knew that he was finished. In this era, speculation was a serious crime.
"I...I..." He stammered and couldn't speak for a long time.
"Tell me the truth, where did you get these tickets?" Director Liu pressed.
He Yudong gritted his teeth and decided to take a gamble.
"I...I picked it up." he said in a low voice.
"Picked it up?" Director Liu sneered, "Do you think I'm stupid? You were able to pick up so many tickets?"
"Really, I really picked it up." He Yudong insisted.
"Humph, you won't cry until you see the coffin." Director Liu waved his hand, "Search for me!"
The two men immediately began to search He Yudong's room. They turned over boxes and cabinets, making the room a mess, but found nothing.
He Yudong secretly felt lucky that he had put all the tickets into the space.
"How is it? Did you find anything?" asked Director Liu.
"No." The two men shook their heads.
Director Liu frowned. He had clearly received a report that He Yudong was buying and selling tickets privately, so how come he couldn't find anything?
Could it be that the reporter made a mistake?
"He Yudong, you're lucky this time." Director Liu snorted coldly, "Behave yourself from now on and stop doing these crooked things."
After saying that, he turned and left the small dark room.
He Yudong breathed a long sigh of relief, finally escaping the disaster.
He returned to the courtyard, but his heart could not calm down for a long time.
This experience made him realize deeply that in this era, if you want to make money, you must be cautious.
He decided not to resell tickets anymore and instead find some other business.
He lay in bed, tossing and turning, thinking.
Suddenly, he remembered that there was still a lot of food in the space.
Now is a time of food shortage. If he can sell these grains, he will definitely make a lot of money.
However, he couldn't just sell the grain as that would be too dangerous.
We have to find a way to sell this grain without anyone noticing.
He thought hard and finally came up with a good idea.
He can grind the grain into flour, then make it into steamed buns, noodles and other foods, and then sell them on the black market.
This way, you can be safe and make money at the same time.
Thinking of this, He Yudong jumped up from the bed excitedly.
He immediately took action, took out some food from the space and started grinding flour.
He worked all day and finally ground the flour.
Early the next morning, he started steaming buns.
The steamed buns he made were big, white and fragrant, and soon attracted the attention of his neighbors.
"He Yudong, what delicious food are you making?" asked the third aunt.
"Steamed buns, Auntie, do you want some?" He Yudong asked with a smile.
"Yes, give me two steamed buns." said the third aunt.
"Okay." He Yudong quickly packed two steamed buns for the three aunts.
Seeing this, other neighbors also came over to buy.
He Yudong’s steamed buns were sold out very quickly.
He counted the money in his hand and found there were more than ten yuan.
This is more than his monthly salary!
He was very happy, it seemed that this business was really good.
He decided to make a living by selling steamed buns.
In this way, He Yudong started his steamed bun business.
His steamed buns tasted good and were reasonably priced, and soon won praise from his neighbors.
His business is becoming more and more prosperous.
Every morning, his stall is always lined with people.
He Yudong is very busy every day, but he is happy in his heart.
Because he finally found a safe and profitable business.
He no longer had to worry about being caught or going hungry.
He finally lived the good life he had always dreamed of.
However, the good times did not last long.
One day, He Yudong was selling steamed buns when he heard someone shouting, "Catch the speculators!"
He Yudong was shocked and quickly packed up his things to escape.
But it was too late. Several men in uniform rushed over and surrounded him.
"What do you do?" a man asked sternly.
"I...I sell steamed buns." He Yudong said stutteringly.
"Selling steamed buns? I think you are speculating!" Another man snatched the steamed bun from He Yudong's hand, "Your steamed buns are so big, you must have used a lot of flour, where did you get so much flour?"
He Yudong was suddenly speechless.
He knew that he was really finished this time... He looked at the neighbors around him who had bought him steamed buns and smiled at him before. Now they all had indifferent expressions, and even a hint of gloating.
The rapid knocks on the door became louder and louder. He Yudong's heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself that something was wrong.
Could it be that his secrets were exposed?
He took a deep breath, tried to keep himself calm, and opened the door.
Standing outside the door was an old lady with a livid face and a piece of paper in her hand.
"He Yudong, can you explain to me what this means?" An old lady threw the note in He Yudong's face.
He Yudong picked up the note and saw that it was the one he had posted on the bulletin board that said "Purchasing various bills at high prices".
He understood everything immediately.
"Auntie, please listen to my explanation..." He Yudong said quickly.
"Explain? What else do you have to explain? You are engaging in speculation, which is illegal!" the auntie shouted angrily, "Do you know that you will go to jail for this?"
He Yudong cursed inwardly, how could this old hag find out so quickly?
"Auntie, I have no choice. My family is poor, I..." He Yudong tried to argue.
"Poor? Just because you're poor you can engage in speculation? Just because you're poor you can break the law?" An old lady interrupted him mercilessly, "You're smearing the Siheyuan and the Street Office!"
He Yudong knew that it was useless to say anything now, as the old hag had already decided that he was a bad guy.
"Auntie, I was wrong. I will never do it again." He Yudong could only bow his head and admit his mistake.
"Wrong? Just because you say you were wrong is the end of it? Do you know that you will be arrested and criticized?" The old lady still refused to give in.
"Auntie, please, forgive me this time. I will never dare to do it again." He Yudong begged bitterly.
The lady snorted coldly: "Let you go? Who do you think you are? Who do you think I am? I'm telling you, I'm an active member of the neighborhood office, I will never tolerate any bad elements!"
He Yudong was completely desperate. It seemed that he had no way to escape this time.
"Auntie, I..."
He Yudong wanted to say something else, but the old lady pushed him away and turned away.
He Yudong knew that the lady was going to report him.
He collapsed on the ground, his heart filled with regret and fear.
He never thought that he would fall into the hands of an old lady.
It had only been a few days since he came here, and before he had time to enjoy his good life, he was arrested and criticized.
This is too unlucky!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and the more unwilling he became.
Why? Why should I suffer this?
He obviously did nothing wrong, he just wanted to make money.
Is there anything wrong with making money?
He stood up suddenly, his eyes full of anger.
He decided that he couldn't just sit there and wait for death, he had to resist!
He's going to settle the score with an old lady!
He rushed out of the room and chased after the old lady.
"Auntie, stop right there!" He Yudong shouted.
When the old lady heard his shout, she didn't stop but ran even faster.
He Yudong chased after him relentlessly, and the two started a chase in the courtyard.
