After her honeymoon, Lin Xiazhu threw herself back into work. She's much more relaxed now than before, only going to the factory occasionally, about two or three times a week, and spending the rest of her time in coffee shops.
Unless there are special circumstances, she usually doesn't go to the suburbs at night. On this day, Bai Ru'an happened to come to pick her up. As soon as she got in the car, she received a call from Zhang Chaoyang. He chattered on and on, basically telling her to come over immediately.
“Something happened at the factory, and they asked me to go there,” Lin Xiazhu said.
"What's Zhang Chaoyang good for? You have to get involved in such a small matter?" Bai Ru'an was a little displeased. He just wanted to go home and be with his wife, and having his time off work taken up made him very unhappy.
But no matter how upset she was, there was nothing she could do. Lin Xiazhu was worried and insisted on going to see him. "Zhang Chaoyang sounded very anxious. If it wasn't something he couldn't handle, he wouldn't be calling me so late at night."
“We can call Yan Xin over,” Bai Ruan said calmly.
"I called her, she's on her way, she just sent a message." Lin Xiazhu handed him her phone.
Half an hour later, the two arrived at the suburban industrial area. Yan Xin had just arrived as well, and got out of the car before them. Her face was somewhat gloomy, and her eyes were filled with anxiety, clearly indicating that she knew the specific situation.
"Yan Xin, what happened?" Lin Xiazhu asked as she walked.
"A female factory worker was dating someone from some other factory, and now she's pregnant."
"She's pregnant? How big? How come no one noticed before?" Lin Xiazhu's heart skipped a beat. How come she keeps running into problems while running a factory?
Damn it, are we going to have to arrest these girls and re-educate them? But they run a factory, not do education.
Upon entering the factory dormitory building, the incident occurred on the second floor. By then, a crowd had already gathered at the dormitory entrance; everyone in the building who wasn't at work had come to watch the commotion.
"We have to go to work tomorrow, this is none of your business, so hurry up and leave," Lin Xiazhu shouted.
At first, the workers who were watching were too busy to pay attention to her. But a few of them turned around and saw that it was the two bosses who had arrived. They immediately ran back to their dormitories and dared not come out to watch anymore.
But Lin Xiazhu and Yan Xin still couldn't squeeze in. The factory now has more than 300 people. After deducting half of them who work the night shift, there are still more than 100 people left, all of whom are crammed into the aisle, blocking the corridor completely.
Zhang Chaoyang, estimating that they should have arrived by now, dismissed everyone and roared, "Go back to sleep, do you want to quit or what? Anyone who comes up here again, I'll write down all their names, and each one will be fined one hundred yuan."
Hearing that they would be fined, the workers, worried about the money, immediately scattered like birds and beasts, not daring to join in the fun.
"Bosses, you've finally arrived. How should we handle this? Should we call the police?" Zhang Chaoyang was sweating profusely, clearly encountering this kind of situation for the first time.
Lin Xiazhu and Yan Xin didn't say anything as they entered dormitory room 208. As soon as they entered, they smelled a strong stench of blood. "What happened?" they asked at the same time.
"This young woman was supposed to work the night shift. Oh, all eight of them in her dorm were on night shift. Today she didn't go to work, nor did she ask for leave. The line manager reported the situation to the workshop director, who then questioned the other seven women in her dorm."
But none of them knew where she went. They only knew she went out for dinner, but they all assumed she would come to work on her own. Who knew she wouldn't?
Fearing something might happen, the workshop foreman sent people to look for the person. The person hadn't been in the dormitory before, but had returned later. Someone told the workshop foreman that the person had returned, and the workshop foreman asked the line leader to come and check the situation.
Presumably feeling guilty, the young girl started yelling when she saw the line manager coming to find her. The worker had started gaining weight three months ago, but no one paid much attention to it.
Many people are dark-skinned and thin when they leave their hometowns, but they gradually become fair-skinned after a period of time and then gain weight. However, this worker named Song Xiaohua is excessively fat.
She also became very greedy and had a strong craving for food. Sometimes she would sneak snacks at work. Once, she was caught by the line manager and fined twenty yuan. But no one took it too seriously. With so many people, there are all kinds of people, right?
Besides, who has the time to keep an eye on other people's business? Working to meet production targets is exhausting enough; it's better to take care of yourself first.
"Song Xiaohua seems to have gotten agitated. She actually took her anger out on the line manager. At first, she cursed at her, and after cursing, she even tried to rush up and hit her." To become a line manager, one must be somewhat educated and have a temper; otherwise, how could one manage employees?
So when Song Xiaohua attacked her, she immediately pushed her away in a fit of anger. Song Xiaohua was powerless to resist and hit the corner of the bed, and then bled from her lower body.
Is she about to miscarry?
Regardless of what happened, saving her life was the most important thing. Without saying a word, Lin Xiazhu pulled Zhang Chaoyang over and said, "Can you carry her? Put her in the car and take her to the hospital right away."
"I'm not going... I, I don't want to go to the hospital." Song Xiaohua roared and waved her hand, but because her lower body was in too much pain, she could only shout a couple of times before she couldn't speak anymore.
"Mr. Lin, you saw it? This person is uncooperative. We just tried to take her to the hospital, but she wouldn't let anyone near her. She even jumped up and said she was going to jump out the window." The dormitory window is not big, at most one meter wide inside, and it's a wooden window without security bars. It seems we'll have to install stainless steel ones later.
“I couldn’t lift her, so Zhou Ming and Zhou Bing went to find a door panel to carry her away. She wasn’t bleeding at first, but then her stomach started hurting more and more, and then she started bleeding,” Zhang Chaoyang explained.
After speaking, Zhou Ming and Zhou Hou carried over a wooden door panel that had been taken down from somewhere and placed it next to Song Xiaohua. Then the three of them worked together to lift her onto the door panel.
Song Xiaohua's face turned as pale as a ghost. She still tried to struggle, but Lin Xiazhu scolded her sharply, "You better behave yourself. If you move again, I'll throw you to a deserted place to fend for yourself. Let's see how you cause trouble then."
Whether it was because Lin Xiazhu's expression was too stern, or because of her boss's status, Song Xiaohua was startled and then howled in pain, but she didn't think about jumping off the door panel again.
The factory had several trucks. They lifted the person onto the truck's cargo bed, and the driver quickly took the person to the hospital.
Song Xiaohua was taken to the emergency room and wheeled out in just over half an hour. The doctor took off his mask and said, "The patient took abortion pills. If you want to terminate the pregnancy, you should do it as soon as possible. It's safer in the first three months when the pregnancy hasn't fully formed. It's best to do it in the first month. Now she's over six months, almost seven months along, and she might die."
"Doctor, how is she now?" Lin Xiazhu asked with a dark expression, but she still tried to speak gently to the doctor.
"The child has been lured out, and the adult has been saved. This girl is at most eighteen years old, right?" The doctor said, then realized it wasn't his business and stopped talking, turning and leaving.
So Song Xiaohua took abortion pills beforehand and tried to frame someone else. She deliberately picked a fight with the line manager. The line manager only pushed her lightly, and she ran into the corner of the bed and then insisted that she had a miscarriage because of the impact.
