Seeing that her daughter-in-law was no longer angry, Grandma Du quickly spoke up to persuade her, "Alright, alright, stop arguing and sit down to eat. Yuanzhan, go get your mother some dishes and chopsticks."
"Okay."
Du Yuanzhan responded and ran to the cupboard to get the dishes and chopsticks.
Since her mother-in-law had spoken, Zhao Fangling sat down to eat.
After dinner, no one in the family left the table. Grandpa and grandma and Du Yuanzhan didn’t know what was going on, so they had to explain it to them so that they wouldn’t worry.
"Shuisheng, tell me what happened today."
Du Shuisheng glanced at his wife secretly before saying, "Mom, Director Xu was taken away this afternoon. Everyone in the factory said that Yingying's job was arranged by Director Xu.
So there's a lot of talk about Yingying, but you also know that Yingying got her job through her own hard work."
As soon as Du Shuisheng finished speaking, Zhao Fangling continued, "Mom, you don't know how disgusting those people are. I get angry when I hear them slandering my daughter."
"I think Yingying is right. We should ignore those gossips. We didn't do anything like that anyway. If we explain ourselves, they will think Yingying is guilty.
But Fang Ling did the right thing, she wanted to let them know that our Du family is not to be bullied."
"good!"
Du Wanying took the lead in applauding.
Just as the family felt a little relieved, they saw a middle-aged man coming with a few people.
"Excuse me, who is Comrade Du Wanying?"
"I am."
Even though there were so many people standing at the door, there was no sign of nervousness on Du Wanying's face.
"Comrade Du, please come with us."
The middle-aged man spoke again.
"OK."
Du Wanying stood up and walked out, but was grabbed by Zhao Fangling, who protected her daughter behind her like a calf.
"Comrade, may I ask where you are taking my daughter?"
"Don't be nervous, comrade. We are just taking your daughter to find out more about the situation."
"You can take my daughter with you, but can you take me with you as well? I can bring her back directly after you've asked her questions."
"Comrade, this is not in compliance with our regulations."
Du Wanying knew that her mother was worried about her, but there was nothing she could do about it as her mother had regulations at her workplace.
"Mom, I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me."
"I'm just worried. If I go with you, I can keep an eye on you."
"Mom~"
"Okay, okay, Mom won't say anything more." Zhao Fangling glanced at the middle-aged man, then leaned over to Du Wanying's ear and whispered in a low voice, "Yingying, you must protect yourself well, okay?"
"Mom, don't worry."
Du Wanying has done nothing wrong, so there's no need to panic at all.
As soon as Du Wanying was taken away, Aunt Zhang and Aunt Lu came over.
"Fangling, is Yingying okay?"
"It's okay. They're taking Yingying there for questioning. They'll be back soon."
"It's all right, it's all right."
Soon, the news that Du Wanying was taken away spread to everyone in the machinery factory.
There are not many entertainment facilities in this era, and after dinner all you do is sleep.
But tonight was different. First, Director Xu was taken away in the afternoon, and then the little girl of the Du family was taken away just after dusk in the evening.
This is big news from the machinery factory.
At this moment, this big news was everywhere in the machinery factory's tube-shaped building.
(People living in the tube-shaped building do not necessarily work in the machinery factory. For example, the eldest son of the Du family is a school teacher, and the youngest son works in the light bulb factory.
But we all live with our parents in the machinery factory and will move out once they are allocated housing.)
"Xiaohua, have you heard? In order to help the Du family's daughter avoid going to the countryside, Director Xu used the backdoor to arrange for Du Wanying to work in the R&D department."
"Ah, I haven't heard of it. The light bulb factory was so busy today that I didn't even come home for lunch. But is this true?"
"Of course it's true. Director Xu was taken away this afternoon."
"Ah, wasn't the Du family's little girl also taken away just now? It seems that this is true."
"Yes, I also heard that Director Xu helped the Du family so much because Du Shuisheng personally sent his daughter to Director Xu's bed."
"No... Impossible. What father would do such a thing?"
"There's no smoke without fire, right? Since it's been spread out, someone must have seen it. But you can't tell anyone else. Someone mentioned this today, and Zhao Fangling caught him and gave him a good beating.
His face was beaten like a steamed bun."
"This... is so tough?"
After the two finished chatting, Xiaohua went to find her best friend Xiaofei. Everyone has a best friend. Word spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, until almost everyone in Huairen County knew about it.
In the homes of residents in Huairen County.
A fat, big-eared man rubbed his hands obscenely: "I really envy the director of the machinery factory. I heard that little girl is only 16 years old this year. She is so lucky~"
"My God, she's only 16. Isn't that an age where she's more beautiful than a flower."
"I heard that the little girl is beautiful and fair, with long black hair that falls to her shoulders. She looks like a fairy."
"The director of the machinery factory really knows how to have fun."
"If it were you, you'd probably be better at it than him."
"Hehehe, that's true."
This night, the machinery factory was destined to be restless.
Du family.
Not to mention Mr. and Mrs. Du, even the grandparents didn't go to bed. How could they sleep with their granddaughter taken away?
Grandma Du sat on the stool anxiously, "Shuisheng, will our Yingying really be okay?"
"Mom, it's okay. Don't listen to those gossips."
Du Shuisheng suppressed his inner uneasiness and explained with a smile.
Du Shui's parents are old, and he is afraid that they will be frightened, so he can only comfort them. Otherwise, if they are scared to death, the house will be even more chaotic.
As she waited, Du's mother began to yawn.
"Mom, if you are tired, go back to the house and rest. Shuisheng and I are here."
"I'm not tired."
Wu Xiuzhen yawned as she spoke. She really couldn't stay up late at her age, but she was more worried about her granddaughter.
"Mom, look how sleepy you are. You and Dad should go back and rest. I'll call you if there's any news."
Du Shuisheng also echoed, "Mom and Dad, don't worry, Yingying is fine. You guys staying here won't solve the problem.
Don’t let Yingying come back and you fall ill.”
The grandparents looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
"Okay, then your mother and I will go back to the house to rest. If you have any news, please come and call us."
"I know."
After seeing his parents return to the house, Du Shuisheng could no longer pretend. Although he knew that his daughter's job was the result of her own hard work, he couldn't help but worry.
"Wife, do you think our daughter is really okay?"
Du Shuisheng stood up uneasily and asked while turning around.
"My daughter is definitely fine. Please sit down. I'm getting dizzy. Besides, didn't my daughter discuss the brick-making machine drawings with you?"
