Chapter 223: Saving the Country in a Roundabout Way
Chen Lan ran to find Qin Weihong in a panic. She was as anxious as a headless fly and did not dare to go in. She just waited downstairs in the Qin family's two-story building.
He was anxiously wandering around the door. He had simply washed off the oil splashed on his body with water before coming in. His hair was messy and his nerves were tense.
Seeing Qin Weihong coming back on her bike, he rushed in front of her and held her hand tightly.
"Chen Lan, are you crazy? I haven't even stopped yet.
It's already after work, why are you not coming home to see me?"
Qin Weihong frowned, waved her hands casually, stood with her legs apart to steady the bicycle, and did not say she wanted to bring anyone into the house.
"Wei Hong, please help me again. Xu Dongsheng just ran to the restaurant to block me.
He threw plates and flipped tables like crazy, and now he’s been arrested by the police. I don’t dare go back.”
Chen Lan's mouth was dry and chapped, her hands and feet were cold from fear, and her voice was tearful.
The hem of my sleeves wasn't completely dry yet, and when the wind blew, they stuck to my body, making me shiver with cold.
"No, isn't this Xu Dongsheng's fault? What does it have to do with you? What are you afraid of?"
Qin Weihong didn't understand. In her opinion, Chen Lan asked her to help change the place where Xu Dongsheng was going to the countryside from the Northwest to the Great Northern Wilderness. Wasn't this a good thing?
Could Chen Lan say that Xu Dongsheng didn't want to go to the countryside and that she was the one who interfered and spread the wrong message?
Now that we are affected, we can only swallow our anger and accept it.
"Wei Hong, I wonder if Xu Dongsheng has regretted his decision and doesn't want to go to the countryside anymore, so he's here to vent his anger on me?
I don’t dare to go to the restaurant anymore. Is it possible that I can’t continue doing this job?
Wei Hong, please help me again, I can't lose this job again!"
Chen Lan's tears were like a faucet that suddenly opened, flooding the room. She lowered her head and tugged at the corner of Qin Weihong's clothes.
Qin Weihong was annoyed by her crying and felt overwhelmed. The cold wind made her dizzy.
"Okay, I'll talk to my uncle tomorrow. You won't lose your job even if it's not your fault."
Of course, he didn't say anything final, because he was a little impatient when he went to see his uncle Hao Jianjun last time.
After all, they are not family members, so why would I care so much about them?
It's okay once in a while, but if it happens too often, you have to use your own connections to get involved. No one wants to be the scapegoat in a losing business.
"Wei Hong, thank you. I'll trouble you with this matter first. I'll go home first."
After hearing this, Chen Lan felt at least relieved, so she decided to stop while she was ahead, wiped her tears and went back.
…
Xie Yi and Lin Xiaotong packed a portion of braised pork when they went back and just stepped into the front yard.
Guan Lamei was leaning against the pillar at the door with her hands in her pockets. It was obvious that she was waiting for her son Donggua to come back.
It was already getting dark, and Lin Xiaotong revealed: "Aunt Guan, when we went to the restaurant for dinner, someone caused trouble.
Donggua and Qian Yu have gone to cooperate with the police investigation, and they will probably be back later."
"What? Someone else is causing trouble in the restaurant? Oh my god, they're so brave!"
Before Guan Lamei could say anything, Jin Qiaofeng came out with a bowl of rice.
"How daring! The troublemakers have been arrested, right?"
Guan Lamei stretched her joints, a murderous look on her face.
She asked why Donggua hadn't come back yet, and it turned out that some little scoundrel was causing trouble.
Really, it also delayed her dinner, who can stand this?
"Are Qian Yu and Winter Melon Man okay?"
Yu Afen also rushed over from the backyard after hearing Jin Qiaofeng's loud voice.
"Auntie, they are both fine."
After saying that, the young couple returned to the backyard. Gao Xiulan and Xie Dajiao had just put the dishes on the table and were ready to eat.
"Mom, we're back. We brought you some braised pork. Oh, Dad's back too."
Xie Yi picked up the bicycle and leaned it against the corridor. Like a funny guy, he pulled Xiaotong and rushed into the house.
"You kid, you're afraid that other people won't hear it."
Gao Xiulan rolled her eyes at him. The rooms in the compound were not very soundproofed, and any loud noises could be heard.
"Mom and Dad, eat it while it's hot. If no one had come to cause trouble, we would have been back long ago."
Lin Xiaotong opened the lunch box, and the aroma of meat exploded.
Wu Jiabao, who was sitting opposite him, sniffed and shouted, "Meat! I want to eat meat!"
"Eat, eat, eat, just eat every day."
"Wu Shengli, you are so capable, you just want to show off your loud voice, right?
Come over here and have dinner, your bicycle is still being repaired and it's making so much noise."
"Yulian, it hurts, be gentle, I won't talk too much.
I'll buy a pound of meat tomorrow, son, and ask your mother to make dumplings for us tomorrow."
…
Lin Xiaotong and Xie Yi finished their meal and lay on the chairs, each petting a cat.
Xiaoju gained weight after giving birth to her puppies, and my hands became sore after holding her for a long time.
When Zhima first came to our house to recuperate from a foot injury, he was a very aloof cat and would only allow people to touch him if he was given meat. Now that he has become more attuned to us, he has become quite clingy.
He also learned to compete with Xiaoju for favor, but every time he got slapped in the face and turned into autism in the corner.
When the weather gets cold, a thick layer of fine hair grows inside the cat's long hair.
Xie Yi used a corn cob used for burning fire to tease Zhima, moving it up and down.
"Hey, I can't bite it."
Every time the sesame seeds were missed, the little black tail was so angry that its hair stood on end and it rolled on the ground in anger.
Lin Xiaotong held Xiaoju's paws, revealing her soft belly. She buried her head in her belly like a pervert and took a big breath.
Little Orange was sucked into a state of dizziness and made strange meowing sounds.
After hearing this, Zhima rolled up from the ground, stood up, and put his front paws on her legs.
Xie Yi was being naughty again. He picked up Zhima by the waist, pinched his throat and gently poked Zhima's ears with his fingers.
"What's the matter, you want to be a father again?"
Lin Xiaotong held Xiaoju's paws, Xie Yi held Zhima, and they punched and kicked each other.
The two men acted as if it were a trick, sending out an army of cats to attack on their behalf.
Gao Xiulan shook her head. Sure enough, this man was still her son. He hadn't changed after training outside for several years.
Xie Da Jiao didn't dare to say anything, the young couple were indeed a family.
…
When Chen Lan went to work at the hotel the next morning, she was worried and looked haggard, mainly because she was scared.
After arriving, he lowered his head and squatted in the kitchen to wash vegetables, still listening to Aunt Huang and Qian Yu talking outside.
"How's Xu Dongsheng from yesterday?"
“After he went in, he still refused to give up and kept yelling and shouting. We almost couldn’t catch him, and in the end he was locked up and made to pay compensation.
I heard this guy is going to the Great Northern Wilderness to work in the countryside tomorrow. He was taken to the subdistrict office by the police. I guess he’s going to have a hard time in the future.”
Aunt Huang was amazed after hearing this. She turned around and glanced at the kitchen, then lowered her voice and said:
"Hey, did Xu Dongsheng tell Chen Lan anything about this? He came to see Chen Lan specifically yesterday."
Qian Yu's expression was hard to describe: "He spoke incoherently, but he kept saying that it was Chen Lan who caused him to go to the countryside.
The police asked him what basis he had for this, but he couldn't explain it clearly."
"I saw Chen Lan's expression yesterday, and she didn't seem to be confused. Didn't the police come to question her today?"
"Later yesterday when Donggua and I came back, we saw that she had gone there too. We don't know what happened.
By the way, Aunt Huang, what kind of fabrics do you think are good for children to wear in winter?
"You bought it for your sister's kid, right? You've asked the right person..."
Chen Lan didn't want to listen to what was said next. When she was called in for questioning last night, she insisted that she knew nothing.
But when she arrived this morning, no one in the hotel paid much attention to her.
The temporary worker still didn't feel very safe, and his eyes suddenly caught the people who went up to the private room on the second floor to eat.
Maybe she should try to see if this person can help her?
