Yan Bugui shook his head in protest. "Director, we don’t have this proof in our family, but we can't just let Shazhu's actions cause us such great losses, can we? What proof do we have? Besides, Shazhu said it himself, how are we supposed to prove anything?"
Jia Zhangshi also argued with Director Zheng.
Director Zheng first looked at Yan Bugui. "Yan Bugui, you claim that Shazhu caused you losses. You can report this to the police or pursue it through the courts! But you cannot occupy his house without permission!"
Then he turned to Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu. "And you, Jia family, just because you say Shazhu agreed doesn’t mean it’s true. Shazhu has been arrested, not dead. If he didn’t say you could stay there, then you’re illegally occupying someone else’s property, which could land you in jail. Previously, when you lived in Shazhu's house, the street office didn’t intervene because your house was indeed uninhabitable, but that doesn’t mean you can treat his house as your own!"
"Now that Shazhu is in jail, his house is temporarily managed by the street office. Once he’s out, it will be returned to him! During this time, no one is allowed to move in without permission; otherwise, I’ll have the police come and arrest anyone who does!"
After Director Zheng finished speaking, he left with his team. The Yan and Jia families no longer dared to fight; there was no need for further conflict.
Yan Bugui snorted coldly and led his family back to the front yard.
"Dad, we’ve suffered such great losses because of Shazhu; can we just let it go?" Yan Bugui glared at Yan Jiefang. "How could we let it go? Didn’t Director Zheng say we should call the police or go to court? Then let’s find the police!"
"Alright! We’ll do whatever you say!" Yan Jiefang and Yu quickly flattered Yan Bugui.
"Hmph! You all still need me at critical moments; now you know my worth, right? In the future, when I ask for money, don’t be so stingy!"
He noticed that since Yan Jiefang opened a restaurant and started making money, his attitude towards him had become somewhat disrespectful. Yan Bugui seized this opportunity to give Yan Jiefang a lesson!
Now was precisely the time when Yan Bugui needed to assert his authority again; naturally, Yan Jiefang and Yu followed his lead.
Seeing his position in the family reaffirmed, Yan Bugui took Yan Jiefang to the police station. After explaining their situation, the police said it was a civil dispute and they wouldn’t handle it!
Still persistent, Yan Bugui pressed the officer until they finally suggested he try suing Shazhu.
In an effort to recover their losses, Yan Bugui indeed sued Shazhu. However, the court determined that when Yan Jiefang hired Shazhu as a chef, he had an obligation to provide him with a health certificate!
The revocation of his business license and fines were due to his own negligence and had little to do with Shazhu. The court dismissed the Yan family's request for Shazhu to compensate them with property!
Naturally, the Yan family was dissatisfied with this verdict and somehow learned that they could appeal for a second trial!
This time they learned their lesson and hired a law student as their defense attorney. Yet again, the court upheld its original ruling!
Furious, Yan Bugui and Yan Jiefang ended up fighting with their lawyer!
Ultimately, both Yan Bugui and Yan Jiefang along with the student lawyer were taken away by the police for some education before it all came to an end!
