Lu Manyue washed the clothes again, wrung them hard, and hung them outside her window to dry.
There is a small flower bed below, and no water can drip onto other people's homes.
It’s just that the space is small and the clothes can’t be hung out to dry, so they don’t dry as quickly as on the rooftop.
After Lu Dashan knew this, he was silent for a long time.
Li Fen, on the other hand, looked gloating.
"I told you long ago that if you don't listen to me, you'll be a rat crossing the street and everyone will shout and beat you. Look, in just a few days, my words have come true."
"Nonsense! You're Man Yue's biological mother, but you can't tell right from wrong and just believe everything you hear." Wang Qiuping came suddenly and as soon as he came in he heard Li Fen mocking Lu Manyue.
"Your husband has been arrested, and you are still speaking for her? What kind of love potion did she give you that you are doing this for her?" Li Fen was still sneering.
"It's just a normal question, everyone has to ask it, and only those who have done something immoral, damaged public interests, or embezzled money will be arrested.
Our old Zhu is upright and not afraid of investigation or questioning.
On the contrary, Lao Zhu asked me to convey a message to Man Yue, asking me to tell her that she had done nothing wrong.
On the contrary, it is a great achievement to discover such a big problem in time.
If Man Yue had not insisted on checking, no one in the factory would have known that there were so many defective products. Some of the defective products were assembled into finished products and sold.
Fortunately, it was discovered in time, otherwise, all the defective products would have been assembled into finished products and sold, and who knows how many people would have been injured.
People from the police came today and said that some people are preparing to file a joint petition to sue our factory for disregarding human life.
The current losses can still be recovered.
If we really leave it alone, and the next batch of finished products is shipped out in large quantities, by the end of the year, Hongxing Factory will be bankrupt just from paying for the compensation of people and medicines!"
Li Fen was left speechless.
Lu Dashan's eyes were filled with worry. "The losses are huge, right? What is the factory going to do? Have you found out who did these evil things?"
Wang Qiuping was busy making inquiries all day and never touched the ground, not even having a sip of water.
Lu Manyue quickly poured her a cup of water. After she gulped down half a cup, she finally felt better.
Seeing Zhu Yan leaning on Lu Manyue like a spineless person, Wang Qiuping's heart, which had been in his throat, finally relaxed.
"The losses are indeed huge now. According to preliminary statistics, the loss of materials and labor for defective products is more than 40,000.
Five hundred finished products have been sold. Currently, more than thirty people have been reported injured with varying degrees of severity. The subsequent treatment costs will be around RMB 10,000.
I don’t know if there will be any follow-up, but this matter is quite troublesome.” Wang Qiuping said.
"What's the reason? Have you found out why there are so many defective products?" Lu Manyue asked with a frown.
Wang Qiuping closed the door and lowered his voice, saying, "We have basically found out that there is a problem with the raw materials. The ore in the smelting workshop is mixed with inferior ore and waste ore.
However, we are still investigating who put it there, how it was put there, and when it was put there.”
"What about Uncle Zhu?"
"Oh, he's fine. He was furious when he heard Director Fang say that the loss was so huge. He was asked to go back after being questioned, but he insisted on running around to investigate, saying that he had to catch that wicked person as soon as possible.
The factory office also gave him the title of assistant investigator.
I was anxiously asking around outside, but he was laughing inside. When I caught him, I almost exploded with anger.
I picked up a bench and hit him a few times. He became obedient and has now gone home to cook.
He heard that someone was targeting you, so he asked me to come over and take a look, saying that he would have the factory office issue a notice tomorrow to clear your name."
Lu Manyue's heart warmed, and there was a little sourness in her eyes.
Wang Qiuping saw through it and quickly handed over a handkerchief, "Come, wipe it. I asked your uncle Zhu to cook your meal together. The factory said he performed well today and gave him half a pound of meat coupons.
I'm going to the vegetable garden at the back to pick some garlic sprouts, and we'll have fried meat with garlic sprouts later."
When Zhu Yan heard that there was meat to eat, she immediately jumped out from beside Lu Manyue and reached out to pull Wang Qiuping, "I want to eat too, I want to eat too."
This was the first time she took the initiative to get close to Wang Qiuping since she returned home.
Wang Qiuping stared at Zhu Yan in disbelief.
Zhu Yan thought she was not allowed to eat meat, and she was very anxious. After holding it in for a long time, she suddenly shouted "Mom".
Wang Qiuping burst into tears instantly. He responded hastily, pulled Zhu Yan into his arms and held her tightly.
It's like holding a rare treasure.
When Zhu Yan tried to struggle, Lu Manyue quickly said the word "meat".
She immediately stopped moving and allowed Wang Qiuping to hold her.
After cooking, Zhu Laoya carried the two pots directly to the Lu family.
There was rice in one pot and stir-fried meat with garlic sprouts in the other.
Uncle Wang followed behind with Wang Maomao, drooling, looking embarrassed.
A group of people crowded into the narrow hall of Lu Manyue's house, some sitting, some standing, some walking around, and began to eat in a lively manner.
Lu Dashan was helped out by Zhu Laoya and sat at the table.
Zhu Laoyao, Wang's uncle, and Lu Dashan each poured themselves a glass of Lao Baigan and drank while boasting.
Uncle Wang was a little hesitant at first, but after drinking a few sips, he immediately became friends with Lu Dashan.
"Brother Lu, you have a good daughter. I am really grateful to her for my daughter Yan Zi's matter this time."
"That's right, Man Yue is a good girl. If she hadn't been married, I would have let my son Wang Maomao be a live-in son-in-law for your family." Wang's uncle got drunk and his face was as red as a dyed wedding cloth.
Wang Maomao was stuffing meat into his missing tooth mouth when he suddenly heard that his father wanted him to be Lu Manyue's son-in-law. He was so scared that he shook his head quickly, "No, no, no, I'm still young and can't hold my wife. If we sleep together at night, she will turn over and crush me to death, and you will have no son."
Everyone burst into laughter.
After three rounds of drinks, Zhu Laoya suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen Wei Dingbang for several days, so he asked casually.
Lu Dashan said that Wei Dingbang was in the hospital because the rake nails that broke out of the thresher injured his eyes.
Several people from the Zhu family hurriedly asked if the collapse was serious.
Lu Dashan said Wei Dingbang said it was not serious.
"It's good that it's not serious. This eye injury can't be taken lightly."
Lu Manyue picked up the dishes silently.
Everyone is used to Wei Dingbang's existence, but he is someone the Lu family cannot keep after all.
…
"He has been knocked down by a wolf. Let's seize the opportunity and shoot him twice!" The two guards lying on the mountain raised their hunting rifles and aimed at Wei Dingbang, who was covered by a wolf with only his head exposed.
The trigger was pulled in an instant.
Bang!
Two gunshots pierced the sky.
The bullet flew through the air and shot towards Wei Dingbang's forehead.
Jin Chang was so anxious that he shouted, "Dingbang, Dingbang! Get out of the way! Someone is shooting us!"
