Song Shuqian has recently felt that the surrounding environment is shrouded in an invisible atmosphere of tension.
Especially at night when it gets dark, there is no one on the street.
There were two times when she was busy and late, and when she walked out of school, she always felt that there was someone behind her. Fortunately, my home is near the school, just a 15-minute walk away.
When I went to inspect the store during the day, I heard the sales clerks talking privately.
"Is the neighbor here to collect protection money again?"
"Here it comes. It used to be 300 a month, now it's 500. The appetite is getting bigger and bigger."
“They gave it?”
"Give it. The guy who resisted last time had his leg broken and it hasn't healed yet. Who else dares to contradict them?"
It was the first time that Song Shuqian heard of such a thing. There were actually people collecting protection fees in the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
She coughed lightly to get everyone's attention, then asked, "When did this happen?"
Everyone immediately quieted down when they heard the voice, and looked at her with a bit of nervousness in their eyes. I thought to myself, oh my god, I was caught slacking off at work by my boss, what should I do?
But seeing that she was smiling and had no intention of pursuing the matter, I relaxed and explained, "It has always been like this."
Only then did Song Shuqian realize that the reason her shop and gallery had not been harassed was because her people, from the sales clerks to the security guards, were all military dependents or veterans, and the Public Security Bureau took special care of them.
Moreover, Song Shuqian never concealed her identity. Everyone knew that her husband was a soldier, and no one dared to touch him.
The public security in Shanghai has been getting worse and worse in the past two years. The store clerks were also worried.
After a quick thought, Song Shuqian understood the reason.
In the past two years, more and more educated young people have returned to the city. These unemployed young people cannot find jobs, and when they go home they see that their parents or siblings all have jobs, and their future is bright. Breeds jealousy or other malicious emotions.
Problems will arise over time.
After figuring out the trick, Song Shuxi became extra cautious. She only went between school and home every day and no longer went to check the shops.
She also seriously told An An Lele to mind her own business recently, go home when she has time, and avoid running around outside.
Despite all the precautions, something still happened.
That night, just as Song Shuxi had gone to bed, there was a loud knock on the door.
She got up, put on her clothes, and walked out. "What's wrong?"
An An Lele and Aunt Fu both heard the noise and stood up.
"Mom, you and Aunt Fu wait in the room for a while. Lele and I will go open the door."
The 12-year-old boy is already very responsible. When encountering danger, his first reaction is to protect his mother.
Song Shuxi held them back, went back to the room and took out two sticks and a bow, "You two go open the door, one on the left and one on the right. Don't be afraid, Mom is here."
No matter how critical the situation is, a calm and rational mother can always calm her child's emotions.
Seeing that An An and Le Le were fine, Song Shuxi found a spot that could just hit the door and signaled the two children that it was okay.
Aunt Fu was worried, so she pulled An An and Le Le and asked them to hide behind the door on the left and right, and she went to open the door.
She has lived for so many years, that’s enough. She was willing to use her life to protect her two children.
The two children are usually very nice to her. They live together in the city and do all the housework themselves.
Because I felt that washing clothes was tiring for her, I bought her a washing machine.
Aunt Fu took a deep breath and opened the door.
A familiar face appeared outside the door.
He is the security guard hired by Song Shuxi's shop.
Song Shuqian did not let her guard down, the arrow was on the string, ready to take his life at any time.
The security guard was very anxious when he saw that it was Aunt Fu, "Aunt Fu, where is your sister-in-law? The store was robbed, and all the money for today's goods is gone."
Seeing that he didn't look fake, An An Le Le came out from behind the door, "Uncle Wang, wait a moment, we'll go back and call mom, and call the police. This matter is under the jurisdiction of the police."
Security guard Lao Wang looked at the sticks in the two men's hands and silently mourned for himself. It was a close call, I almost died here.
He understood this situation and didn't take it to heart. He urged her very straightforwardly, "Hurry up, can you contact your father? He's the most reliable person to contact now."
Ann...
Lele...
So are you a good person or a bad person? If you are a bad person, why would you remind us to call you dad? If you are a good person, it is quite informal at this time of night.
Song Shuqian asked Aunt Fu to look after the house and went out with An An and Le Le.
After going out, they did not follow Lao Wang, but went straight to the police station.
Fortunately it’s not far and we’ll be there soon.
After explaining the situation, she borrowed another phone and called Wei Jianguo.
Although it's a bit late and will disturb him. But if he hears the situation from others tomorrow, he will be unhappy.
This year, Song Shuxi was extremely busy, and she was also worried about An An and Le Le, so she basically alternated between living in the small courtyard and on Sinan Road, and seldom went back home to the family compound.
Yueyue and Yangyang also followed her, and only rarely would she send them back to accompany Wei Jianguo.
Wei Jianguo was very dissatisfied with this.
Whenever I have time, I drive here. Recently, he has been particularly bothered by the fact that she didn't tell him first when something happened.
After receiving the call, Wei Jianguo and his bodyguard Zhou Minhui rushed to the city.
He told Song Shuxi, "It's too chaotic outside right now, you follow the police. Bring An An and Le Le with you as well, and get the whip ready."
When it comes to safety, Song Shuqian couldn't be more obedient.
Wei Jianguo and his team arrived very quickly. They arrived right after the police finished their on-site inspection.
He strode to Song Shuqian's side, "How is it? Are you scared?"
"It's okay. An An Le Le is with me all the time. You go and deal with it first."
Wei Jianguo went over to find out what happened. "How is it? Is anyone injured?"
"A security guard was injured, today's sales revenue was lost, a total of 2854, and seven pieces of clothing were lost."
"Where are you hurt? Is it serious?"
"He has been sent to the hospital. He was hit twice with a stick. It's just a superficial wound. He will be fine after lying down for half a month."
Wei Jianguo told Song Shuqian, "I'll take you home to rest first. I'll take over this matter. I'll send someone to investigate at dawn."
Song Shuqian nodded in agreement. What happened had already happened, and there was no rush for what happened next.
She tried to comfort the people in the store, "Close the door for a while. Write the reason and post it on the door tomorrow. Close the store for a day."
Those who are injured should go to the hospital, and I will pay for the expenses.
All those who participated today will receive an extra month’s salary.
Someone will come to investigate tomorrow, so please cooperate. "
It was getting late, so Wei Jianguo followed them back to the courtyard to rest.
Zhou Minhui also came and lived with An An and Lele.
The next day, when Song Shuxi woke up, Wei Jianguo had already left.
When the army heard that something happened to Song Shuxi, they immediately sent people to investigate.
Most of the people she employs are military dependents and veterans, and the troops have a good impression of her.
They also hope that she can grow bigger and stronger and provide more jobs in the future.
When Song Shuxi hired people, she always abided by the contract and was legal and compliant with the regulations. She was also very generous and would not make things difficult for anyone.
They had never thought of the idea of selling lunch boxes at the school gate, so Song Shuxi taught several military wives how to do it.
Although it is hard work, they earn a lot of money and are willing to send their children to school.
Because of these contributions, Song Shuxi was also awarded the title of "the most beautiful military wife" this year.
That's too far-fetched. The people sent were all Wei Jianguo's subordinates, soldiers who served as protectors. When they heard that it was the shop owned by their commander's wife, they perked up and investigated it carefully.
Once the expert takes action, we will know whether it is true or not.
It took only one day to capture these people.
