Old Lady Wu Reborn in the 60s: She's Not Doing It Anymore

In her previous life, Old Lady Wu was beaten and scolded by her husband, Huang Mancang, for half her life. For the sake of her four sons, she endured and managed to hold the family together.

Chapter 48 Face to face

Who is it? Who is it?

Wang Daya got soup in her eyes, and just as she was about to grab the corner of her clothes to wipe them, a sharp pain shot through the back of her head. "Ouch!"

He squinted and saw it was Old Lady Wu. He was immediately enraged and shouted, "Are you crazy?!"

"I'm sick, I'm sick!" Old Mrs. Wu grabbed her hands and slapped Wang Daya hard across the face with both hands. "I think you're the one who's sprinkling peppercorns on the neighbor's face. You shameless bastard, do you really think I'm a soft persimmon that you can just knead at will?"

Yu Meixia's eyes widened, and when she came to her senses, she saw that Old Lady Wu had already rushed in front of Wang Daya and they were fighting.

As soon as the two police officers who followed her appeared, Wang Daya screamed desperately, as if she had seen a lifeline.

"Help! Help! Officer, this woman is insane! Quick, quick, save me!"

Another slap landed on his face. "Ouch!"

When Yu Meixia saw the police, she rushed over and pulled Wu away, saying, "Mingxia, Mingxia, get up quickly."

Grandma Wu knew that it was fine to vent her anger now, but if she really hit someone in front of the police, then it would truly be her fault.

"What's going on?"

Wang Daya, a skilled singer and dancer, stared at a pig-faced man and sobbed, "Oh dear, my righteous and just sir! In broad daylight, under the clear sky, someone is beating me up in the street! Is there no justice left...?"

Grandma Wu's cold eyebrows twitched, and Yu Meixia kindly explained in her ear, "It is said that Wang Daya learned to sing opera for a few days when she was a child."

The police officer's brow twitched, and he frowned as he looked at Wang Daya. "Get up and speak properly. What kind of behavior is this?"

"And they call us comrades, or some kind of upright official, it's not like we're in a play."

"Puff!"

Wang Daya glared at Yu Meixia, who was smirking, and reluctantly got up. "Police officer."

“Wu Mingxia hit me, you can’t just ignore it.”

"Oh, I hit him? Which eye of yours saw it?"

Wang Daya was speechless with anger. "I was beaten! Of course I saw it with both eyes. My face is the evidence."

Grandma Wu raised an eyebrow and nudged Yu Meixia beside her, "Did you see me hit her?"

"No, she's probably still half asleep and talking nonsense."

"Yes, that's right, otherwise how could he have spilled soup and rice all over his head?"

Wang Daya watched the two of them singing in unison, straightened up, and roared, "You two shameless sluts, everyone here saw it!"

After saying that, he turned to the police officer and said urgently, "Police officer, don't listen to her nonsense. There are so many people here, and they all saw her hit me."

Old Mrs. Wu snorted coldly, "Is that so?" Her icy gaze swept over the crowd. "Whether they follow your nonsense or not, I don't know. But today I reported to the police to investigate the factory's recent rumors and slander against me, and it's true."

“I’ve filed a report with the police. It’s fine if I’m involved, but it’s no small matter if Director Jia is involved. We’ll make sure you two officers find out who’s behind this!”

As soon as she finished speaking, the onlookers were in an uproar. Report it to the police? This old lady Wu actually went to the police station to report it!

So, won't the police find out about what they've been saying about Old Lady Wu these past few days?

Grandma Wu is right. This also involves Director Jia. If Director Jia finds out that they are talking nonsense behind their backs, will they still be able to stay in the factory?

No, I absolutely cannot provoke Old Lady Wu again today, nor can I admit to seeing Old Lady Wu beat Wang Daya.

"Say something! Didn't you all see this slut riding on me and slapping me?!"

Wang Daya's gaze swept over them one by one, but no one spoke.

Old Mrs. Wu sighed, a slight smile playing on her lips. "What? You can't just pin something on them that you didn't see, and you insist they say they did?"

Wang Daya clenched her fists tightly, her chest heaving, clearly furious.

Two police officers stepped forward, their faces serious. "Alright, we're here today to investigate the case of Wu Mingxia's reputation being damaged and who has been defamed and slandered."

As soon as the deep, serious voice came out, the cafeteria, which had just quieted down, slowly started to get noisy again.

Wang Daya's eyes widened in panic, and she took a step back. "Investigate? Investigate what? This slut has always been restless, flirting with the factory director. Everyone has seen it with their own eyes. What's there to investigate?"

Wu Mingxia's eyes turned cold. "Flirting? You saw it with your own eyes?"

Wang Daya straightened her chest, trying to appear calm, "Yes, yes, everyone saw it with their own eyes."

"What do you mean, 'saw it with my own eyes'! Who saw it?"

A deep, angry voice sounded behind them. Wang Daya, seeing the figures gradually come into focus, turned pale.

"Factory manager..."

Director Jia first nodded slightly to the two police officers, then looked at Wang Daya with a dark expression, "Tell me, what did you see with your own eyes? Tell the police officers everything clearly, word for word."

Wang Daya clenched her fists and swallowed hard. "Everyone in the cafeteria saw it. Let them talk..."

The onlookers froze, cursing Wang Daya in their hearts for her inhuman behavior. They asked, "What did you say?"

They said that they and Wang Daya were talking behind Wu Laotai's back, saying that she and Factory Director Jia were having an affair.

Isn't that just asking for trouble?

"Oh? You saw everything, then tell us about it."

Director Jia's voice was calm, but to everyone's ears it sounded like a death knell.

"No, we didn't see anything..."

When Wang Daya saw that they all said they hadn't seen anything, she froze on the spot, then her eyes widened.

"Impossible! Didn't you say they were flirting and laughing outside the factory gate? And what about the things they were delivering to the canteen... have you all forgotten?!"

Factory Director Jia's temples bulged with veins as he tried to suppress his anger. "Flirting outside the factory gate? Delivering things to the canteen?"

"I'm saying this one last time in front of the police officers today!"

"The first encounter was by chance outside the factory gate. We were colleagues from the same factory and exchanged a few words. Besides, the gatekeeper, Uncle Li, was also there at the time!"

"Secondly, what I gave in the canteen was a reward! It was to entrust Comrade Wu Mingxia to embroider a pair of mandarin duck pillowcases for my daughter who is getting married!"

"Finally, outside the office in Workshop 3, have the secretary deliver the pillowcase fabric!"

After Director Jia finished speaking, Wang Daya's face turned pale. She hadn't expected that Director Jia's wife wouldn't step in to tear apart Old Lady Wu, but that Director Jia himself would come forward and clarify the situation in front of the police officers.

Factory Director Jia swept his icy gaze over Wang Daya, "If I hear any more rumors about the factory in the future, I'll fire her on the spot!"

"No! It wasn't me! I just heard it from someone else, it has nothing to do with me, factory manager, you can't fire me!"
