Lin Wanwan was a little sleepy after eating, and leaned against Lu Feng's arm listlessly.
“If you’re sleepy, go inside and take a nap. I’ve already made up the bed in this room, so go inside and sleep,” Xu Zhang said, pointing to the room.
The Gu family has five rooms, but only Gu Changfeng and Xu Zhang live there; the others are empty.
"Xiao Hai, you're going too. That's your room over there."
Lin Wanwan didn't stand on ceremony and kept nodding while holding Lu Feng's arm.
"Lu Feng, you take her there. I need to go get some sleep too."
After taking a nap, Lin Wanwan was full of energy in the afternoon.
Li Mei pulled her aside and asked, "Were you present during those two disputes this morning?"
"Yes, what's up?"
"Did you make that record you mentioned this morning? Let me see it first."
"That will take a while. I tidied it up this morning, and it'll be done in a little while."
Li Mei smiled broadly and said, "Okay, okay, go ahead."
Lin Wanwan returned to her seat and continued organizing the materials she hadn't finished that morning. After organizing them, she reviewed them again and, seeing that there were no problems, was about to go find Li Mei.
Then she walked over and asked, "Are you done? Let me see."
Lin Wanwan chuckled, "You're not just going to watch me finish writing, are you?"
"Yes, please take a look at me quickly, I'm in a hurry."
Lin Wanwan handed her the organized files, pointed to one of them and said, "This is the one we organized and filed after the dispute was resolved. This one is being organized. When it's resolved, we can just start a new page, write down the final solution and results, and turn it into an archive file."
"This is great, this is great! You're my lucky star, you've helped me a lot."
"What can I do to help? It's my first day here. Sister Jing, Sister He, and Sister Yuhua have been doing all the work. I'm just recording what they've been doing."
“That’s still pretty impressive,” Li Mei grinned.
He Lanhua and the other two curiously came over to take a look. After looking at it, He Lanhua asked, "What's the use of this?"
Li Mei explained, “Aren’t we going to become a formal unit? From now on, we’ll be staff members with official positions, but there will be a probationary period. Also, we won’t be able to do things as freely as we do now. Everything will have to be standardized, and there will definitely be more work than before. I’m giving you a heads-up: if anyone doesn’t want to, they can leave now. There will definitely be more work in the unit than before, so if you can’t accept it, it’s not too late to leave now.”
The three looked at each other in bewilderment. Seeing their reaction, Li Mei said, "Let's have a meeting. Everyone is free to speak their opinions and suggestions. I will also consider raising any requests with the leadership."
Just as the group was about to sit down for the meeting, they heard a commotion outside the door. Li Mei sighed, "It looks like this meeting can't go on."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Wanwan saw two people she knew very well wrestling with a woman as they entered.
Li Mei shouted, "Stop it, all of you! What are you doing?!"
The three people who were wrestling were also startled and let go of each other at the same time.
"Li Chunhua, when are you going to stop making a scene? Your son is almost out of a job because of you, what more do you want?" Li Mei said angrily.
When Li Chunhua's name was called, she was stunned for a moment. Looking at Lin Wanwan, she suddenly sneered, "Hmph~ It's different to have someone in the government. Now she's even working in a government unit."
Lin Wanwan wasn't angry and smiled as she looked at her, saying, "That's right, it's easier to get things done if you have connections in the court. Auntie, you'd better be careful, or I'll come to complain every day. I forgot that you're not afraid, Auntie. Your son has been punished, and you not only aren't worried, you still have the energy to cause trouble for others."
While Lin Wanwan was speaking, Liang Yuting had already looked Lin Wanwan up and down. She thought, "She's not that great-looking. She's not as pretty as people say." She pursed her lips and stood aside.
Lin Wanwan felt her scrutiny and saw her disdainful expression, which Lin Wanwan found inexplicable.
Li Chunhua trembled with anger, her hand shaking as she pointed at Lin Rui, "You...you..."
"Auntie, please don't be angry. If you get sick from anger, I'm telling you I won't take responsibility."
After Lin Wanwan finished speaking, she sat back down. She wanted to write down her thoughts first: the mediation process, recording methods, archiving and classification, typical cases, and legal aid applications.
Li Mei said sternly, "What are you three doing here again? Last time you came to us for mediation, you caused a scene in our office and even smashed our thermos. Why don't you three come with me today to find your regimental commander, Xiao Hongjun, and see how to resolve this matter?"
Liang Yuting immediately burst into tears, pleading, "Director Li, you have to stand up for me! I really can't take it anymore. They beat me every day at home. I'm going to be beaten to death."
Li Mei glanced coldly at the three people in front of her. "Then let's call the police and arrest all the people who did the beating, okay?"
“Why call the police? This is a family matter. Even if we take it to the police, they will just advise us to live our lives peacefully,” Li Chunhua said in a shrill voice.
Li Mei turned her head and said, "Jingjing, Shufen, take them both to the office."
Zhang Jing and Qin Yuhua immediately stepped forward to persuade Xiao Ju and Li Chunhua, "Let's go inside and sit down, auntie, it's more comfortable inside." The two of them half-dragged and half-pulled them into the office.
After seeing the person enter the office, Li Mei continued, "Now tell me, what do you want us to do? Take you to get a divorce, or arrest those people who beat you?"
"Ah, that's not what I meant. What I meant was, please help me teach them a lesson. It's better not to make our family affairs known to everyone," Liang Yuting said hesitantly.
“Family scandals shouldn’t be aired in public, Director Li. This is understandable. How about this, Liang Yuting, right? Since you think family scandals shouldn’t be aired in public, then you shouldn’t tell us and cause such a fuss all the time,” Lin Wanwan continued.
Liang Yuting rolled her eyes at her, "I'm not like some people who enjoy a life of luxury at home all day."
Li Mei and Lin Wanwan exchanged a glance. "Yu Ting, life is bound to have its ups and downs. If you keep making such a fuss every time, how can you live like this? Look at Hong Jun, he's a cadre, and he comes home every day after work. If the house is noisy and he can't rest, how can your relationship as a couple be good? Think about it, isn't that the truth?"
Liang Yuting looked at her with some skepticism, and Li Mei continued, "Sometimes when couples have problems in their relationship, they should look for the reasons within themselves. If they're always arguing like this, how can their relationship be good?"
“But my mother-in-law and sister-in-law pressure me every day and beat me at the drop of a hat. How am I supposed to live like this?” Liang Yuting said, crying.
"So what do you want? I told you to live a good life, but you said you couldn't go on. I asked you to get a divorce, but you didn't want to. So what do you want?" Li Mei sneered.
"I just want your help. Can you please stop my mother-in-law from hitting me? I'm a human being, not an animal."
Seeing that Li Mei was about to speak, Lin Wanwan immediately said, "Okay, Comrade Liang, we will educate Ms. Li Chunhua, but changing something is not so easy, it takes time. We will persuade your mother-in-law, and we also hope that you will have the perseverance to change."
Liang Yuting looked at her and said, "How can I change anything? I haven't done anything wrong."
