Chapter 32 They All Told Me Not to Be Afraid
The people from the security department tied up the still struggling Xu Xiucheng like a dumpling, lifted him up on a carrying pole, and carried him out to the sound of gongs and drums, like a big fat pig.
He wished that everyone in the factory could come and see that their security department was not just there to do the work, but had real skills.
The machinery factory was already a boring place, and after this incident, most people had heard about it. Some of the brave ones wanted to go and see, but unfortunately they were stopped by the workshop director.
At this time, the security department carried all the people out. It happened to be their shift, and the workshop director couldn't do anything about it. Everyone was so excited that they ran out to see what was going on.
"Hey hey hey! Lao Li, is this the crazy guy?" someone shouted in the crowd.
The man called Lao Li nodded, squeezed into the crowd, and started chatting: "Yes, let's take him to the police station now. You don't know, this madman is very strong. He threw several of us comrades more than ten meters. What a pity—"
Old Li clicked his tongue and shook his head, deliberately lengthening the ending of the tone.
"What is it?" The people closest to him were almost dying of anxiety. "Old Li, stop keeping us in suspense and tell us quickly."
"That's right, Lao Li, you are too rude. Tell me now."
Old Li chuckled, revealing a row of yellow teeth, whetting their appetites before he raised his head and said smugly, "It's a pity you met me."
"In a flash, I rushed forward and used the moves like Dragon Swinging Tail, Black Tiger Ripping Heart, and Mantis Spreading Wings. With the help of other comrades from the Guard Section, I kicked this madman to the ground! I couldn't get him off, so I gave him a beating. He cried miserably!"
Many people were silent for three seconds, then rolled their eyes and snorted for a long time.
Someone criticized him directly: "Old Li, what do you mean by 'more than ten meters'? You're exaggerating! More than ten meters is almost as high as several stories. How can our comrades survive that?"
"Also, the mantis spreads its wings."
Some people laughed so hard that tears came out and they held their stomachs.
"That thing is called White Crane Spreads Its Wings, and it's also called a mantis. Where do mantises get their wings? Old Li, I always tell you to read more, but you just don't listen. Now you're embarrassed!"
"I'm not kidding." Old Li blushed and hesitated. "Anyway, no matter what, our security department has done a great job this time."
No one refuted this statement. The security department of Jinxing Machinery Factory had not received a second-class merit award for a long time.
The factory's performance is not good, and the higher-ups are considering laying off the security department. After all, the security department has not done any real work in a year and is just there to eat and do nothing.
The security department has elderly and children to take care of, and they are all worried behind the scenes.
But at this critical moment, the drunkard Xu Xiucheng showed up and beat the leaders up, making them cry for their parents. Isn't this a second-class merit that comes to him?
The guards and others were so proud.
If it weren't for the fact that there were several injured leaders following behind the team, either with bruised faces or crying out in pain, their mouths would have been stretched to the back of their ears.
Walking in the middle are Zhong Qiao and Zhou Ping.
Apart from Xu Xiucheng who was tied up like a dumpling, Zhou Ping and Zhou Qiang were a pair of eye-catching scenery.
A skinny old lady covered her mouth with her hands, her front teeth were all missing and her mouth was full of blood. She looked very miserable, but her pair of small green eyes were staring at everyone with resentment.
The other one was as fat as a pig, and his nose wished it could grow on top of his head. But now, his nose and face were bruised and swollen, and he was dying.
Those female workers who were often harassed were talking about it, their faces full of satisfaction, and secretly cheering!
Zhou Ping couldn't sit still after listening to Lao Li and the others chatting. She glared at them, mumbling something and rushed to Lao Li.
Her son is not crazy!
"Alright, Mom." Xu Lili couldn't stand it any longer. She grabbed Zhou Ping by the collar and dragged her back. "It's become so chaotic. Can you please calm down? You still think our family isn't shameful enough, right?"
Zhou Ping stared at Xu Lili fiercely.
It’s all because of you, you money-loser!
Your bad idea has harmed her precious eldest son and her genius second son. If there weren't so many people around here, she would still have a toothache and would make you lose a layer of skin!
Xu Lili sighed helplessly, "Mom, I know you blame me, but you agreed to this, didn't you? It was you who instigated my eldest brother's drunken madness. I had nothing to do with it."
Zhou Ping continued to stare at her fiercely, as if she and Xu Lili had an irreconcilable hatred.
Zhong Qiao's expression remained as calm as ever.
Most of the old employees in the ninth workshop of Jinxing Machinery Factory knew her and knew that Zhong Qiao had the best temper. They all believed that the Xu family was the first to cause trouble and implicated Zhong Qiao.
Several senior employees trotted over and spoke up for her: "Hey, Old Li, did you arrest the wrong person? Zhong Qiao is such a good girl. We all know her. Why did you arrest her?"
"That's right, Old Li!"
A short-haired woman with medium build and almond-shaped eyes grabbed Old Li over.
"You can't wrongly accuse a good person. It's not easy for that little girl. She has a child to take care of. If you take her away, what will happen to the child?"
"Just give it back to them!"
Zhong Qiao looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the people who were speaking for her were two middle-aged women, at least a generation older than her.
Because it had been so long, she was in a trance for a moment.
Based on my memories of my previous life and the facial features of these people, I vaguely recognized them as the older sisters from the same department in the ninth workshop.
One was called Zhou Yan, and the other two were called Cai Jin and Liang Ruyue. I can’t remember whether it was “Ru” or “Ru”.
They worked the night shift and knew very well what kind of people Zhong Qiao's in-laws were like. When they heard that Zhong Qiao was coming to ask for her salary and Xu Xiucheng was causing trouble, they immediately ran out to speak for themselves.
"There's nothing I can do about it. This guy is indeed related to her. I can't let him go even if I want to." Old Li was entangled by the female comrade and scratched his head helplessly.
Zhou Yan was a cheerful person. Upon hearing this, her eyes rolled and she smiled, "Alright, don't embarrass Old Li. We're just following the rules. But Old Li, you only said I had to go to the police station, not that I had to be detained for a certain period of time, right?"
Old Li had no idea he was walking into a trap. He nodded honestly, "Of course. After all, she wasn't the one who hit him."
"Then you have to speak well of our Qiao Qiao when the time comes. The child is only a month old and can't leave his mother." Zhou Yan smiled and patted his shoulder.
Old Li was shocked: "Oh, she has a child."
There was a hint of guilt in his eyes. If he had known earlier, he would not have made a big deal out of it. It seemed that he could only say a few good words for him when he got to the police station.
Zhong Qiao smiled at them, a glimmer in his eyes, and his mood was extremely complicated.
Including the previous life, it has been more than ten years since we last saw each other.
I didn’t expect that in addition to the love of my family, I could also feel the warmth from my colleagues.
The faces of these women were just a few brief strokes in the depths of her memory, and most of them were just passers-by in each other's lives. But now, with their loud voices, voices, and smiles, the memories were revived and gradually became colorful.
The group, along with some leaders of Jinxing Machinery Factory, were called to the police station for questioning and record-keeping. When they arrived at the door, the older sisters did not forget to wave to Zhong Qiao.
The woman named Zhou Yan mouthed something to her.
Zhong Qiao was stunned for a long time, and then a faint smile gradually appeared on his face.
Mother Zhong was puzzled: "What did they say to you?"
"Told me not to be afraid." Zhong Qiao lowered her head, her eyes clear, as if hiding some emotion, and repeated: "They all treat me as their own daughter, telling me not to be afraid."
Mother Zhong was stunned, then understood.
As the crowd dispersed, Zhong Xiaohua, who was standing at the door, was pale, her fingers had sunk into the flesh, bleeding profusely, and her already skinny body stood in the cold wind, almost about to be blown down.
