Chapter 348
"Also, although the girl I'm introducing to you is indeed a relative of mine, I only introduced her to you because she's down-to-earth and capable of making a living. You can't just spread rumors about her being lazy and greedy because she doesn't look to your liking. If her reputation is ruined, how will she ever get married?"
Duan Dawei almost laughed out of anger when he heard Old Lady Tao's words that distorted right and wrong.
"Haven't you beaten Caixia a few times? Then where did all those injuries come from? I don't give money to my family? I give all my monthly salary to Grandpa. If you don't agree to make new clothes for Caixia, Grandpa will listen to you. Is the girl you introduced to me down-to-earth and honest? If she is down-to-earth and honest, and I invite her to a state-owned restaurant, will she let me pay for the food to take back to her parents, brother, sister, and brother?"
"Dawei, you have to speak according to your conscience and not slander me!" Old Mrs. Tao looked aggrieved and slandered.
The crowd of onlookers heard the conversation between Duan Dawei and Old Lady Tao, and saw that Old Lady Tao looked wronged. For a moment, some people didn't know whether to believe Old Lady Tao or Duan Dawei.
Duan Dawei really didn't expect that Old Lady Tao could be so hypocritical and so confused about right and wrong. He was so angry that his chest hurt.
Just when Duan Dawei was about to have another good talk with Old Lady Tao, Chen Yao came out with Xiang Jialiang and two other colleagues from the security department.
"This is the factory gate, not a place for you to cry and make noise." Shen Yao exuded a cold aura and said sternly.
When Mrs. Tao saw Shen Yao coming out, she covered her face and cried again: "I was forced to no end by this child. He abandoned his grandfather, but his grandfather missed him and thought about him. He refused to see me or go back to visit his grandfather, so I had no choice but to come here to find him."
"Chief Shen, that's not the case at all. You must have heard something about my family..." Duan Dawei hurriedly explained to Shen Yao and briefly told Shen Yao what Old Lady Tao and Old Man Duan had done to them.
As soon as Duan Dawei finished speaking, Old Mrs. Tao cried even more miserably.
"You kid, you're willing to tell any lie just to get rid of your grandpa. How can you be so heartless? Woo woo woo..."
Duan Dawei was anxious and angry, wishing he had a hundred mouths to defend himself.
In fact, Chen Yao knew about the situation of the Duan family without Duan Dawei telling him. Although he was not a gossiper, he was influenced by Ye Fuyue and Chen Guifeng's gossip, so he always had some understanding of the situation in the compound.
Shen Yao's sharp gaze fell on Old Lady Tao: "This is the gate of the factory, not the place for you to settle family affairs, please leave now."
"The employees of your factory are not filial and don't care about the elderly at home. Will your factory still care about them?" Old Mrs. Tao cried while wiping her tears.
"You are not my biological grandmother, why should I care about you? As for grandpa, I used to be so filial to him and respect him, but how did he treat me, my mother and Caixia? If I continue to be filial to you, you will skin me alive sooner or later!" Duan Dawei said.
Just as Mrs. Tao was about to speak, Shen Yao spoke.
"Old man, if you don't leave and continue to make trouble here, we will call the police and have them investigate what's going on between you and Old Man Duan. Why did Old Man Duan agree to marry you less than three months after Old Lady Duan passed away? We will also have them investigate how you and Old Man Duan treat Caixia. The police won't believe everything you say, and they won't believe that you are right just because you are making trouble here."
Old Mrs. Tao paused in wiping her tears, and looked at Shen Yao with a cold look in her eyes: "Little comrade, what do you mean by this?"
"You should know exactly what I mean. How about we call the police right now?" Shen Yao said with a grim expression.
Old Mrs. Tao suddenly became pitiful and weak again, crying and saying, "Your factory is so big, but you let the employees bully the elderly like this, I..."
Shen Yao calmly interrupted her: "Old man, if you continue like this, I will report you to the police for spreading rumors."
Old Mrs. Tao paused again, knowing that she would not get anything good this time, so she could only pretend to wipe her tears and walk away feeling aggrieved.
Seeing that Mrs. Tao had left, Duan Dawei breathed a sigh of relief and said to Shen Yao gratefully, "Chief Shen, thank you, thank you so much."
Shen Yao said calmly: "We just did our job, you don't need to thank us."
The crowd of onlookers dispersed, and Shen Yao noticed Ye Fuyue.
It was already time to get off work. If he hadn't heard that there was a disturbance at the gate of the factory, Shen Yao, as the head of the security department, would have to bring people out to resolve it, otherwise Shen Yao would have left work long ago.
Now that the matter was resolved, Shen Yao said something to Xiang Jialiang and several colleagues, then walked towards Ye Fuyue.
"Let's go eat." Shen Yao said.
Ye Fuyue nodded, said hello to Xiang Jialiang from a distance, and left with Shen Yao.
As usual, they were preparing to go to a nearby state-owned restaurant for dinner, but Ye Fuyue suddenly discovered that someone had set up a stall on the roadside selling noodles.
Ye Fuyue tugged at Chen Yao's sleeve and pointed at the stall, saying, "Someone's selling noodles! Let's eat here."
Shen Yao had no objection, and the two of them sat down at the only table.
The stall only sells two kinds of noodles: clear soup noodles and shredded pork noodles. No tickets are required, and the price is a few cents higher than the noodles sold in state-owned restaurants that require tickets.
Ye Fuyue ordered two bowls of shredded pork noodles and added two poached eggs.
While the boss was cooking noodles, Ye Fuyue chatted with him.
"Boss, we can set up the stall now."
"I read in the newspaper that the country is now encouraging individual economy, so I tried to set up a stall, but there are still people chasing me away. Few customers dare to come and eat there because they are afraid of being arrested as speculators," said the boss.
Ye Fuyue gave her boss a thumbs-up. "Boss, you're very perceptive! As soon as you saw the policy was loosening a bit, you seized the opportunity."
The boss laughed helplessly and said, "What's so sharp about that? It's just poverty. I'm always worried about setting up my stall every day, afraid of being caught as a profiteer. As soon as I see someone wearing an armband, I quickly pack up and push my cart away."
It is only March now. Although the newspapers do encourage individual economy, it will take some time for the policy to be truly implemented. There are still risks in setting up a stall and doing business now.
It would be fine if there is no one in your family working in a state-owned factory, but if someone in your family works in a state-owned factory, you have to consider carefully whether your behavior of setting up a stall will affect your family.
Ye Fuyue also wanted to take advantage of this trend and do some business, but it would be safer to wait a little longer.
