Even if Shazhu managed to force open your door, you can't just beat him up so severely, Director. Wang Jiefang must be severely punished; otherwise, people in the compound will follow his example and start hitting others at will. How can that be acceptable?
Upon hearing Wang Jiefang's explanation, Yi Zhonghai stood up to criticize him again. At this point, it was clear that Wang Jiefang was determined to send himself to jail. Since that was the case, Wang Jiefang decided not to hold back any longer.
"I want to report this to the police!" Wang Jiefang declared directly.
"What are you reporting?" Director Wang asked, puzzled.
The police officer also looked at Wang Jiefang, who continued, "Officer, I want to report Shazhu for breaking into my home and attempting to harass my wife. I also suspect he intended to steal from my house!"
Hearing this, Shazhu could no longer pretend. He shouted, "Wang Jiefang, you're talking nonsense! When did I ever try to harass anyone? And when did I ever think about stealing from your house?"
Wang Jiefang sneered, "If you weren't planning to steal, why did you sneakily open my door? Officer, you can check my door latch; there are still marks left by Shazhu when he tampered with it. As far as I know, only thieves would use such methods to open someone else's door! Are you saying you weren't trying to take advantage of the fact that my wife and I were asleep?"
"Also, my wife and I were sleeping. You, a grown man, secretly opened my door and entered my house. Who can guarantee you weren't trying to take advantage of the situation?"
At that moment, Sun Yuwei had already gotten up. Hearing Wang Jiefang's words, she shot a fierce glare at Shazhu and then rolled her eyes at Wang Jiefang. "Seriously? You're saying such things in public about wanting to harass me? How can you let people see me like this?"
The people in the compound felt that Wang Jiefang made a valid point upon hearing his words.
To be honest, Shazhu had a reputation for being a petty thief; everyone in the compound knew that Wang Jiefang's family was wealthy while Shazhu was currently broke. It was quite possible that Shazhu really intended to steal money from Wang Jiefang's home!
"Heh, I also think Shazhu could do something like that. Besides, he's single now; Qin Huairu isn't paying him any attention. Wang Jiefang's wife is so beautiful—who knows if Shazhu really wanted to take advantage of the situation?"
Faced with the crowd's remarks, Shazhu became anxious. "Wang Jiefang, stop talking nonsense! I never thought about stealing anything from your house or harassing anyone!"
He pointed at Banggeng and Huaihua. "I was just thinking of helping Sister Qin because her family is in trouble! I wanted to bring Banggeng and them over to ask for some New Year's money!"
Wang Jiefang knew full well that Shazhu had come asking for New Year's money, but he pretended not to care and said dismissively, "Shazhu, don't play games with me. You're just using the excuse of asking for New Year's money as a cover to steal from my house! Besides, who asks for New Year's money by sneaking into someone’s house while they're asleep?"
Seeing the police officer and Director Wang looking at him with disapproving expressions, Shazhu panicked and said, "You're talking nonsense! I really came to ask for New Year's money! Who told you not to get up until dawn? Besides, I've been asking for New Year's money from everyone in the compound with Banggeng and them; if you don't believe me, ask around—everyone can vouch for me!"
"Shazhu," Wang Jiefang retorted sharply, "I'm sleeping in my own home; I can wake up whenever I want! Besides, why should I give New Year's money to someone from the Jia family when we have no ties?"
"You! Sister Qin's family is struggling so much; as neighbors in the compound, what's wrong with giving their child some New Year's money? And besides, you have money—why are you so heartless?"
"Hah! Just because we live in the same compound means I have to give out New Year's money? Let me ask you this: how much New Year's money have you given out to the kids in our compound?"
After saying this, Wang Jiefang shouted into the crowd: "Everyone, has Shazhu given your kids any New Year's money?"
At this shout from Wang Jiefang, the people in the compound became agitated!
"Not a dime! Early in the morning, Shazhu brought these three little brats over to my house and demanded five yuan each for New Year's money! If I didn't give it to him, he threatened to hit me!"
