The rain was pouring down and it didn't seem to stop even during the day.
However, the public security comrades, together with the street office and a certain committee, a group of people, all wearing raincoats, were investigating the scene.
Because this incident was so fucking miraculous, it had to be investigated thoroughly, otherwise this matter of being struck to death by lightning would inevitably cause some bad rumors among the people. The public security department was led by the most knowledgeable Lao Wang.
He led several forensic doctors to investigate, and they were surrounded by people who were watching the fun. Zhuang Zhixi took a leave of absence from work, and Mingmei also took a leave of absence from work.
Everyone was in the crowd. Old Wang looked around and waved to Zhuang Zhixi in the crowd. Zhuang Zhixi ran over and said, "Comrade Wang, you called me?"
Wang Gongan nodded and said, "How many times did he chop the wall when he was chasing you?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "How can I remember this? Anyway, there were a lot of them, so I hit him with the tiles. Oh, by the way, Wang Gongan, you see, I am a victim. How miserable I am. I just went to the toilet and met the criminals. It's not easy for me. Look at these tiles, you can't let me pay for them."
Wang Gongan: “…”
I guess you only know about tiles, right?
But it's really pitiful that you get into trouble for no reason and have to pay money.
He said: "Don't worry about this matter. We will communicate with their work unit and family."
The people on the street said, "We will handle it first."
Wang Gongan: "Okay."
Everyone knows that we can't find a victim in this matter. It's better to do it quickly and avoid making things look awkward.
He said, "He didn't do anything else except slashing people, right?"
Zhuang Zhixi scratched his head and said, "I was so flustered at the time that I didn't see if he made any other moves, but I felt that he didn't. He is such a wicked guy. You said Wang Xiangxiu and I would run away. I had already gone upstairs, but he was still chasing me and hacking at me. It's really true that he still favors boys over girls at a time like this."
Wang Gongan: "...you should stop using random words at this time."
Zhuang Zhixi: "I'm so fucking unlucky."
He said sadly, "There are so many things going on in the bathroom here. I don't dare to go to the bathroom at night anymore. What do you think is going on?"
Wang Gongan: "Okay, stop complaining. Let me ask you one thing. Can you complain ten times like a man?"
Zhuang Zhixi said confidently: "It's a matter of life and death, who cares whether I'm a man or a woman? If I were a woman, he wouldn't chop me, and I wouldn't care. Oh, no, you don't know, I was really scared, and their family should give me some compensation."
He said seriously: "Nutrition expenses must be paid."
Wang Gongan was speechless. He pushed Zhuang Zhixi aside and said, "You go aside first. How is Lao Qin?"
Lao Qin was very calm: "In short, he brought his own death upon himself."
"How to say:"
Wang Gongan knew that Lao Qin was definitely talking about the matter at hand and not insulting anyone.
Old Qin pointed to a section of wire that fell on the ground not far away and said, "Do you see this wire? This wire should have been cut when he was chasing and hacking Zhuang Zhixi. Look here, the wires here are all exposed wires, running along the wall and under the small corridor eaves. When he cut them, they naturally drooped down and fell to the ground. You all know the weather last night. The ground was full of water, which created conditions for electric shock. There were lightning and last thunder night, and there was water here. In addition, the handle of the knife in his hand is not suitable for use on rainy days. It is very easy to conduct electricity. Who else would be struck by lightning? Even if lightning didn't strike him, he would be very likely to get an electric shock, not to mention that he himself an external environment that was very easy to be struck by lightning. chased Wang Xiangxiu. The problem is that he cut the wire himself."
Nowadays there is no distinction between forensic medicine, law and politics, the work is done by everyone.
Lao Qin described the incident in great detail, and finally concluded with his hands spread out: "To put it simply, he cut the wires himself, then stepped on them again, holding an inappropriate knife in his hand, which led to the lightning strike."
There was a moment of silence at the scene. Lao Qin had been talking for a long time, but everyone focused on the final conclusion, which was really... he was killing himself.
This is such bad luck, it's rare to see this kind of luck in a thousand years.
Zhuang Zhixi was stunned. He really didn't expect that so many accidents would lead to Yu Baoshan's death. He was surprised: "I thought it was a thunderbolt..."
After a pause, he swallowed his words.
Of course, even if he said it, no one would hold him accountable now, after all, everyone thought so.
Before the forensic doctor analyzed the specific situation at the scene, everyone thought it was a punishment from God. After all, even if it was a violent storm, it was unheard of to hit a person twice in one night. They were really worried that he would not die.
But now... now a very scientific reason has been found.
However, although it seems scientific, people not only do not think it is scientific, but they think it is even more unscientific. Think about it, there are so many coincidences in it, and they are all caused by oneself. Isn't this just saying that you are too lucky?
Given Yu Baoshan's ability to deal with himself, it would be strange if he didn't die.
Isn't this God's will?
What did Yu Baoshan do to deserve such retribution?
"Okay, Xiao Qin, pack the person up and take him away."
A young man wearing a police uniform inside and a white coat outside came over.
Well, both Old Qin and Little Qin have the surname Qin, and all forensic doctors have the surname Qin.
Director Wang of the street immediately stepped forward and said, "Comrade Wang, I would like to ask if we can ask Comrade Lao Qin to give a science class to our street. It is the rainy season in summer now, and it rains a lot, with lightning and thunder. We also want to learn how to be safer."
Although none of them would cut electric wires for nothing, they were confused when they heard that the material of a knife could also conduct electricity. Director Wang was very responsible. She felt that as the director, she should do this kind of popular science so that everyone could learn and understand it.
Wang Gongan nodded: "Okay, I think this is a good idea. Let me know if this works. I'll go back and write a report later, and then let Lao Qin come over to give you a few lessons. I'll also teach you some common sense in life."
"That would be great."
If this matter is done well and developed, it can be regarded as a political achievement.
Director Wang was very happy. Seeing that this party was beginning to instigate this matter, the head of a certain committee said, "Let's join in, too."
Wang Gongan: "It's up to you. It's all fine."
They usually look so arrogant, but now they are so polite. How can they not be polite? They are also afraid of death. Yu Baoshan's death is so mysterious. They criticize and educate others all day long not to engage in feudal superstition, but it doesn't mean that they don't believe in it at all. This is really amazing.
Even if you say that he is not a punishment from God, you cannot convince everyone.
Public Security Wang had already finished his investigation with his men, and everyone was leaving. He waved to everyone in the heavy rain, saying, "Everyone, go back quickly. Don't stay outdoors for a long time during a thunderstorm. It's not safe."
He turned around and whispered, "We still need to repair the wires here, otherwise there will be another accident."
"knew."
Wang Gongan: "This Yu Baoshan's family..."
"His family members haven't shown up since he hit Bai Fendou's father with a brick yesterday. They all stay away from him, fearing that they will get into trouble."
Wang Gongan shook his head slightly, lamenting the lack of family affection in this family.
However, these days, there are many cases of fathers and sons and brothers turning against each other. He has seen a lot of such things. After seeing them so many times, he doesn't care about them anymore. There are many different kinds of people, so it's not surprising.
He said, "Collect the troops."
Director Wang of the street did not leave. Instead, he said, "Let's go too. Let's warn each courtyard in this area."
"good."
Although it was raining heavily, they still had to do their work. It was very important to pay attention to safety. Everyone stood together in groups of three or four, not wanting to go home. Although they were afraid of death, they always felt that such mysterious things would never happen to them.
No one wants to leave.
Everyone started discussing: "What bad things did Yu Baoshan do to deserve being struck to death by lightning?"
"He was struck by lightning not because of any environment or any electrical wires..." Many people heard this but didn't quite understand it. However, even though they didn't quite understand it, everyone knew that they must be careful if they encounter such a situation in the future, otherwise they will be doomed.
"Don't talk nonsense. Even if there were any, he was still struck by lightning. And didn't you hear what the old comrade said? He cut the wire himself. He did it to himself. You can't stop talking."
"That's true, he really is...but where are his family members?"
"How can they come out like this? They didn't come out yesterday because they were afraid of being held accountable by Bai Fendou and asked to pay compensation. They probably don't come out now because they can't afford to lose face. This is like being struck by lightning. God knows how much sin they have committed."
"He broke up his sister, arranged for her to go to the countryside, and stole her job. Isn't that immoral? His sister's boyfriend broke up with her because he had no intention of returning to the countryside, and he even asked her for money, and made a scene when she didn't give him money. I heard that he asked for 150 yuan. How could there be such a shameless person? Then the man went out for a blind date and got married again, and he went again. The man's parents were afraid of him, but he had no choice but to extort 50 yuan from them. He took his sister's job and didn't go to work. He wore a red armband and ran around every day, and the factory didn't dare not pay him. If they didn't pay him, they would put a label on him. They in the textile factory really suffered from him for a long time." It was obvious that he knew more.
"Oh, by the way, what happens to his family's work if he dies?"
"I know, I know. His family and I live in the same yard. No one at work today. They had a huge quarrel behind closed doors. No one came to collect the bodies. They were fighting over Yu Baoshan's house and job. There must be a quarrel in his family. Yu Baoshan occupied a room by himself, and now he has to give it up. And that job, that job belongs to Yu Baoshan's sister..."
"Then, can that girl come back?" Mingmei said this. She was also in the crowd watching the fun and listening to the gossip, so she naturally went over to chat. She said, "This is her job. Yu Baoshan took it away from her, so now it's time to give it back to her."
"Hey, my dear wife from Xiaozhuang, I don't understand this. No one from your family has ever gone to the countryside, right?"
Mingmei nodded: "Yes, I am the youngest in my family, and I didn't catch up with the large number of people going to the countryside. I don't have any brothers or sisters, so I don't need it."
"Ah, then your parents will give birth. The timing is just right. If your family has not gone to the countryside, you don't understand. Once you go, it's very difficult to come back. It's not just a matter of whether the original factory wants you, but also the connections with the Youth League Office. It's not easy. Besides, the policy is stricter now than before. In the past, people were mobilized to go to the countryside, but now they have to go to the countryside. And it's so strict that a family must have at least one quota to go to the countryside. His family can't let his daughter come back."
Mingmei sighed.
Zhuang Zhixi also joined the conversation, saying, "I also think his daughter has no chance of coming back, but I don't think he can keep his job. It's useless to fight for it."
"how?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "Just think about it. This guy was not favored by the boss to begin with. He didn't go to work all day and used accusations to scare people. How could the boss think highly of him? Now he has been struck by lightning again for hurting someone because of such a dirty thing. The factory has even more reason not to want him."
Although people generally won't be fired unless they make serious mistakes nowadays, this person hurt someone and then attacked someone with a knife.
No one would consider him a good person.
Moreover, to put it in a darker way, if he is fired, a vacant position will be created, and they can "operate" it themselves, right? Of course, there is no need to say this, as it sounds a bit unpleasant.
Zhuang Zhixi: "We'll just have to wait and see what's announced. I think this matter will be finalized."
"That's right."
"Hey, you guys, did Wang Xiangxiu come out of the toilet with Yu Baoshan? Did she really go to Bai Fendou just because she was threatened?" There are always people who are more concerned about such topics. Everyone laughed, which was very meaningful.
"Who knows? I'm afraid only she knows."
"Can you guys think of something positive instead of being so gloomy? Maybe nothing has happened to him. Isn't Yu Baoshan already in bad condition?"
"No, that's insulting. That's not how it should be said. The one who really couldn't make it was Zhou Qun. She was completely done. Yu Baoshan is not like that. He's not done, it's just that his eggs were rotten, so he can't have children. But he can still make it, I guess he can still make it."
Zhuang Zhixi silently shed tears of sympathy for his "good neighbor" Zhou Qun. He was shot even when he was lying down.
"I don't think Wang Xiangxiu is innocent. With Wang Xiangxiu's face, bear face, and butt, it's impossible for Yu Baoshan not to be tempted..."
“Maybe not…”
Director Wang: "Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense. If it's not true, stop talking nonsense and don't destroy their reputation. It's not easy for them to be an orphan and a widow. And they are also victims this time. Disperse and go home quickly."
"Go home. Don't gather outside during a thunderstorm. Go home quickly!" Several people from the street office were evacuating the crowd.
"Everyone, please don't gather together. If you want to chat, wait until the weather is better. Go home, go home quickly."
Zhuang Zhixi held Mingmei's hand and said, "Let's go home."
Mingmei nodded softly. She had asked for leave today, and for three days in a row.
It wasn't that she wanted to be lazy on purpose, but Zhao Guihua insisted. Her reason was that what happened last night was too scary, and she was afraid that Mingmei had a miscarriage, so she let her rest at home for a while.
Of course, in reality, this is not entirely true.
She was also worried about Mingmei going to work as a conductor. Although Mingmei had been transferred, Zhao Guihua was still worried. So she just took this opportunity to let Mingmei take a few days off.
Mingmei didn't know what Zhao Guihua was thinking, but she knew about her own precognitive dream, so she must have listened to her mother-in-law. The two of them had their own thoughts, but their ideas were quite similar. Zhao Guihua: "When the rain is lighter in the afternoon, I will take you to the hospital for a check-up. Let's be safe."
Mingmei: "Okay."
The Zhuang family went home together. Even though such a big thing happened last night, not many people asked for leave. People nowadays are not lazy or anything like that. They are all diligent and would hardly miss a day of work.
There were only four people in their yard who took leave and did not go to work.
One is Bai Fendou. His father is in the hospital and his condition is serious, so he is the only one to take care of him, and he has to take leave.
The second one is Jiang Lu. Jiang Lu finally got pregnant, and she would ask for leave at the slightest sign of trouble. Now she can only take half a month off, and she doesn't care about the salary. However, although people have opinions about her situation, they can't say anything.
Well, as I said, unless you make a big mistake, there is no way this state-owned enterprise will fire you.
Besides, Jiang Lu worked in the Women's Federation, which was an easy department. Her leave did not affect her work at all. As for the salary deduction, Jiang Lu did not care. Of course she did not care, although she had handed in all her salary over the years.
But this time, she got control of Zhou Qun's salary, and Zhou Qun actually saved 5,000 yuan. You know, this is a huge sum of money. Jiang Lu estimated that Zhou Qun still had some, and she planned to deduct it slowly. This 5,000 yuan was a large sum of money in the bank.
Don't think it's strange that Zhou Qun has 5,000 yuan. It's not strange at all. Jiang Lu takes care of all the expenses of the family. Zhou Qun has been working for more than ten years. He took over early and started working when he was fourteen or fifteen. Even if he had to support the family in the past few years, he has never supported the family since Jiang Lu married him. Because he has a "good relationship" with his master's wife and has someone to help him, he was promoted quickly, so his salary was not low at the beginning. In recent years, his salary has almost been increasing.
So he only saved five thousand, which was already too little.
Although he handed over the passbook, Jiang Lu believed that he still had some money that he didn't deposit in the bank. This was not surprising. People nowadays were more accustomed to keeping money in their hands. So only part of it was deposited in the bank. Jiang Lu had no evidence of how much he had in his hands, but she would dig it out anyway.
In addition to this money, she also took back the 1,000 yuan from her mother-in-law. Her mother-in-law was taken away from the hospital, and she had no time to hide the money again. The last time she encountered a thief, Jiang Lu saw the old lady hiding the money. Now that she was not there, she simply put it away.
As for wanting to go back? Forget it.
The money originally belonged to her.
This is her salary, which is already cheap enough for the old lady. But don't think about it in the future, because Jiang Lu now has 6,000 in cash, and she gets paid normally every month. Her company also reimburses her for having a baby, so Jiang Lu is not worried at all. She should rest when she needs to rest. With money in hand, she won't be worried.
Because of this, because he was a little scared last night, and because it was a thunderstorm today and the rain was still heavy, Jiang Lu simply did not go to work.
In the end, the only ones who didn't go to work were Mingmei and her husband.
As "witnesses" of last night's incident, it was normal for them not to go to work. Wasn't it okay for them to be scared? Wang Xiangxiu, on the other hand, went through so much last night, but she was still able to go to work today. She was very strong. She was reluctant to miss a day's work.
Even though it was a rainy day, it did not stop people from visiting each other for the whole day, and soon people came to the dealer's house.
A group of old ladies sat together and talked about random things. Zhuang Zhixi, as a unique man who didn't work, didn't feel embarrassed at all.
Aunt Wang: "Xiaozhuang, you didn't go to work. It's a shame to have a day's work deducted. I don't think you have anything to do."
Zhuang Zhixi: "I'm fine. Look at me. Isn't my face pale? I was scared last night."
Aunt Wang: “…”
He said, "Besides, I have to take my wife to the hospital this afternoon. I won't feel at ease if I don't get a checkup."
The topic turned to Mingmei, she shook her head slightly and said, "I'm fine."
She actually didn't do anything yesterday, she just ran over in a hurry and was a little scared.
"You are such a jerk, kid. How dare you run out when you are a pregnant woman with two children? What will you do if something happens?"
Mingmei scratched her head, feeling embarrassed. She said softly, "I was just too excited at the time. I thought, if no one goes to help Zhixi, what will happen? I might get a miscarriage if I go there, but it's not certain. And I can confirm that I can subdue Yu Baoshan. I'll just take care of the people in urgent need first."
Zhuang Zhixi added: "My wife is just worried about me."
He chuckled and said, "So you see, finding a good wife gives you a sense of security. But I'm lucky. Not only my wife, but my mother is also amazing. The women in my family are all amazing, so the men can be at ease and be little men."
Uh... Aren't you ashamed to say that?
A group of female comrades rolled their eyes.
Zhuang Zhixi was very calm and continued, "If I tell this to others, I wonder how many people will envy me for finding a good wife."
"Xiaozhuang..." Aunt Wang wanted to say something, but seeing that her elder sister Zhao Guihua didn't say anything, she simply kept silent and just said, "You should be more careful."
Zhuang Zhixi laughed.
"By the way, did your Mingmei take a leave from work?"
"Yes, Luo Xiaohe asked for leave for me." Zhao Guihua said this. She usually called Lan Sihai "Uncle Lan", but she couldn't call Luo Xiaohe "Auntie". Although Luo Xiaohe was a generation older than Zhao Guihua in terms of kinship, she was only two or three years older than Zhao Guihua, and she looked young. If she stood with Zhao Guihua, others would definitely guess that Zhao Guihua was older. This made Zhao Guihua call Luo Xiaohe "Auntie" directly, but she really couldn't do it.
So usually we just call her by her name.
Luo Xiaohe was a temporary worker in a bookstore. Her workplace was close to Mingmei's bus station, so she came early in the morning to ask for leave. In this case, she couldn't refuse to give him leave, right?
Mingmei: "I just took three days off and I can just fill in the medical records when I go back to work."
So she really had to go to the hospital. Otherwise, it would be unreasonable to ask for three days off at once. Her leave application was different from Jiang Lu's. She had a medical record to apply for sick leave, and the company had to reimburse her, and her salary would not be deducted.
Jiang Lu just said she was not feeling well and would not go to work. Although she was "sick", she did not have a medical record or proof from the hospital, so it was considered as personal leave, and her salary would be deducted. But Jiang Lu did not care about that.
Mingmei: "Fortunately, there is not much trouble in our department."
However, what Mingmei didn't know was that not having to go to work actually saved her a lot of trouble.
Sometimes, some things always happen in the dark.
Today, the crew came to borrow someone, and specifically asked for Mingmei.
That is to say, Mingmei didn't go to work, otherwise... Oh, she couldn't agree to it, but it would still make for an unpleasant scene.
At the bus station, Jiang Baohong, the new female leader of the train team, came to the office to borrow someone.
Half a month ago, the old leader of their train crew retired, and a new leader, a female comrade in her forties, Jiang Baohong, took over and made drastic changes. A new official has three fires when he takes office, and she did not skip on any of the procedures. She started to make a fuss right away, first requiring the drivers and crew to clean the windows every morning; secondly, she explicitly prohibited internal vacations.
Because their crew has irregular holidays, they have booked their rest days in advance, but sometimes unexpected events can delay the trip, so the crew members have discussed with each other and basically everyone will take their own days off.
That is to say, although Xiaohong was scheduled to work today, it was actually Xiaolu who was on duty. Xiaohong had something to do and took a break, and when Xiaolu was supposed to work, it was Xiaohong who was on duty again and had to return the work.
But these are their own operations, and the internal work records of the passenger station still follow the original names. Now it is not decades later, this practice is considered a routine operation, and it does not delay work.
However, the newcomer Jiang Baohong directly refused to allow it.
She is very particular about rules. Is it right for her to do this?
But for everyone, it is very annoying, mainly because sometimes it really delays things. Who doesn't have urgent things? It is always better to exchange with each other than to take a day off directly. This delays a day's work, and delays a day's salary.
But Jiang Baohong doesn't care about that.
In addition, regarding the theft on the bus, she also asked everyone to strictly catch it. No one is allowed to be let off. It can be said that Jiang Baohong did everything right, but it just makes people uncomfortable.
She asked the flight attendants to catch the thief, but not everyone is Mingmei. The flight attendants are all weak female comrades, while the thieves are mostly men, so they can't beat them at all. This is a life-threatening matter.
After Jiang Baohong arrived, the crew was full of complaints.
Jiang Baohong had also heard about Mingmei's abilities. After all, she had had her salary adjusted several times for catching thieves, and it was always recorded. Jiang Baohong originally wanted to use this person as a signboard.
It would be best to transfer Mingmei to a long-distance route where there are more thieves. In this way, if the thief is caught, her qualifications as a direct leader will be enhanced. It would be even better if she could take on this good task herself.
This shows that her work is remarkably effective! She had a beautiful thought, but she never expected that after she arrived, she would find out that Mingmei had been transferred to the office as a statistician.
This made her angry.
She felt that her predecessor was an idiot, a real idiot who caused her so much trouble. She had planned everything, but it all ended in failure.
She wanted to transfer the person back immediately, but she was overthinking. She was in charge of the car crew, which was not the same department as the office. The office director was at the same level as her, the car crew director, and she had no right to transfer other people's people.
Moreover, even if it is a transfer, the person's consent is required.
If you want to force it, it is impossible.
However, Jiang Baohong didn't consider what Mingmei thought. She thought that she could convince Mingmei. What's wrong with that? Female comrades should work harder. How can they just muddle through in an office? They should strive to move forward! She had a good idea, but she couldn't force the office. The office had a general impression of her. How could it be anything but general? Most of the people in the bus station were old acquaintances. Now they were all taking over. Many young people gave up their jobs to their children and retired early because their parents didn't want them to go to the countryside.
It can be said that most of them are old acquaintances. She is a newcomer who came in out of nowhere and wants to stir up trouble. Who will give her face?
If she really wants to work hard, no one will mind her efforts, but she asks others to do this and that, and steps on others to get to the top, which is very disgusting. Besides, Mingmei is pregnant with twins, who dares to mess with her?
So the office simply ignored Jiang Baohong's request.
If the child really died due to an accident, it was because they were not destined to have the child. Such a child would not be healthy if born, so it would be better not to have the child. So she didn't think there was anything wrong with her wanting to transfer Mingmei back to the train crew as a conductor. She was actually helping Mingmei to improve herself.
However, her work was not going smoothly. She also knew that the relationships here were complicated and it was difficult for her, a newcomer, to achieve results. But she did not think she was wrong. Instead, she felt that she had encountered so many difficulties and could overcome them.
That would prove that she is indeed capable.
Her first card was to play Mingmei. She hoped Mingmei could get on the bus and help her catch the thief. But transferring people was definitely not an option. However, since no one was paying attention to her, she wanted to borrow someone. It happened to be raining heavily that day, so she came over to borrow someone immediately.
As we all know, there are more bus thieves on rainy days.
Although she was an outsider and had been transferred from another place, she was also clear. Rain gear is more common on rainy days, and the feeling of wetness is not obvious, which is a good opportunity for thieves to steal. According to their statistics, there are more thefts in bad weather such as rainy and snowy days.
So early in the morning, she rushed over to borrow someone.
She herself didn't know that her behavior was very offensive, and almost the entire bus station disliked her because of this. In fact, not everyone likes Mingmei, and not everyone knows Mingmei.
But Jiang Baohong insisted on letting a pregnant woman work as a train attendant and catch thieves for her. Of course, she didn't say the latter, but even if she didn't say it, others could see it.
It is precisely because of this that everyone thinks this person has no morals.
If this isn't harming people, then what is?
This person is selfish and doesn't care about other people's lives in order to make his own grades look good. She is a pregnant woman. If something happens to her, three lives will be at stake. He doesn't care about it, which shows his character.
In addition, she forced the drivers and flight attendants to catch thieves and did not allow them to take internal leave. With all these incidents, she had already angered the public before she even started the fire.
This person can treat others like this today. If she gets promoted and manages more people, won’t she harm them too? The crew is already very hard-working, otherwise they wouldn’t get an extra three yuan subsidy. She still has to find things to do. If she is really asked to manage other things, such as logistics and offices, where she can slack off, then it goes without saying.
That's why almost everyone hopes she'll get out of here as soon as possible.
Jiang Baohong is not popular, but she doesn't care. In fact, she understands that these people just resent her for being a woman who was parachuted in. But she is not afraid. She is more capable than the average person. She doesn't believe that she can't change the stubborn problems here and achieve results.
So, she came to the office early in the morning to borrow someone. She had thought about it and decided not to leave if the person was not lent. She would make a fuss and lend the person over.
If it is a transfer, it always needs approval from all departments, but if it is to borrow people, the leader's consent is enough.
As for myself?
Why shouldn't I agree?
She had no idea of Mingmei's personality. If she knew, she would understand that she would not agree.
But now she doesn't know, instead she is very determined: "Old Chen, you must lend her to me, we are all in the same unit, if I make achievements, everyone will be happy. Besides, she is so skilled, what can she do in the office? If she comes to our team, she can show her skills. When the time comes, she will help me catch the thief, and I will apply for her to be an advanced worker. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"
"She is pregnant."
"What's wrong with being pregnant? Pregnant women don't work? These days, men and women are equal. Men can work, and women can work too. You can't do nothing just because you're pregnant. What's so difficult about giving birth? If she can stick to her job and give birth on the bus, I can get a newspaper to publicize her. I can set an example for her, working diligently and giving birth on site, which is good for the reputation of our unit! If she gave birth while catching a thief on the bus, that would be even better. Not to mention being an advanced worker, she could be a model worker!"
Jiang Baohong was very proud and became more and more excited as he spoke.
She felt that if her team had such a person, she, as a leader, would also be proud.
Office Director Chen looked at the mean woman in front of him and couldn't believe it. She was a woman, but how could she be so disgusting? The more she looked at her, the more disgusting she became. She agreed that women hold up half the sky.
But I don't agree with Jiang Baohong's behavior of taking human life lightly. This is no different from harming people.
She said coldly, "Then I think you will be disappointed. First of all, I can't lend Mingmei to you. She's a pregnant woman. I can't take responsibility if something happens to her. As for what you said, I will just treat it as nonsense. I advise you to think it over before you say such things. Secondly, even if I can lend her to you, I don't have anyone. Mingmei has a miscarriage, so I need to take three days off."
"What!" Jiang Baohong was angry. "You asked for three days off just because you had a miscarriage? How can you be so spoiled?"
Director Chen: “…”
Damn idiot, if this kind of person didn't have a backer, he would never have been able to get to this position, his character is so bad.
He has no ability and poor character, and he even steps on matters involving human lives to try to improve his political achievements. I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen anyone so shameless.
She said, "I don't have enough staff here, so I can't lend anyone to you, not Mingmei, and not anyone else."
She stood up: "I won't keep you here, I have something else to do."
Jiang Baohong: "You..."
She looked unhappy. Director Chen stood up, opened the office door, and said, "I have to go to the logistics department. Would you like to sit here for a while?"
Jiang Baohong looked unhappy: "You are too casual in approving leave."
Director Chen: "We live in a new society. We have been liberated for more than 20 years. This is not the old society that oppresses people. People have the right to ask for leave."
Jiang Baohong hit a snag and left unwillingly.
However, she still wondered if Director Chen deliberately lied to her and didn't give her face, so she went to the office and asked, "Which desk is Mingmei at?"
"That one over there."
At first glance, it was empty.
"Mingmei asked for leave."
Jiang Baohong's face turned black: "What a small-peasant mentality, only caring about yourself! So selfish!"
A woman who was knitting quickly put the sweater away, pretending to be working. Although this woman was not in charge of them, everyone knew how unpleasant she was. They were not afraid of her, but they did not want to cause trouble.
After all, I heard that this person has some background.
Several people in the office looked at each other and curled their lips. As Jiang Baohong left, someone whispered, "We can't let this woman get promoted. If she gets promoted and manages us, we won't have a day off."
The elder sister who was knitting secretly just now agreed with this and nodded heavily.
"Look, she's asking the crew to do this and that now. It's so miserable for them."
"I'm sick."
Jiang Baohong was very angry because she didn't get what she wanted.
Mingmei had already gone to the hospital with Zhuang Zhixi. She sneezed continuously. Zhuang Zhixi gently stroked her back and said, "How do you feel? Did you catch a cold last night?"
Mingmei shook her head: "I don't know either."
She rubbed her nose and felt that it was not so bad.
Mingmei joked: "Maybe, someone is talking about me behind my back."
Zhuang Zhixi laughed: "Who is talking about you?"
Mingmei spread her hands: "I don't know, people in my company? After all, the people in my company like me very much, maybe they care about me?"
Zhuang Zhixi clicked his tongue, and Mingmei immediately followed with her little fist. The two of them were messing around. Zhuang Zhixi said, "Okay, okay, let's go. It's our turn now."
Mingmei ran in a hurry last night, and although she seems to be fine, they can't be completely reassured.
Zhuang Zhixi handed over the registration form and a dollar rolled up together. The old doctor said helplessly: "What are you doing?"
Zhuang Zhixi said naturally with a smile: "Please help my wife take a look, she..."
Never mention a dollar.
The old doctor pointed at Zhuang Zhixi from a distance and said, "Don't do this. I'm just treating patients normally. Why would I need to do this?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "As I should. My wife's twins need extra care. We, as family members, don't know anything, so we have to trouble you. Maybe we have to come to you if there is any trouble on weekdays."
He smiled and said seriously, "We are too embarrassed to trouble you so much. Besides, I used to work in the infirmary and had connections here, and I am familiar with many people. Now I have changed my job and am no longer responsible for this place, but we can't break up this relationship. It's not wrong for me, as a younger generation, to show my filial piety to my elders."
The old doctor was at a loss for words. This was too much nonsense.
Zhuang Zhixi smiled and said, "Please take a look at my wife. She was running so fast yesterday..."
The old doctor looked at Zhuang Zhixi again and said nothing more.
It's true that sometimes it's better to be safe than sorry. Mingmei thought she was fine, but in fact, her pulse was still a little chaotic. It was obvious that what happened last night had some impact on her. Whether she was frightened by being too anxious or bumped when running, the doctor said seriously: "I suggest your wife rest at home for a week."
Zhuang Zhixi said seriously: "She is..."
"Your wife is indeed a little bit pregnant. Maybe she is in good health and doesn't feel it, but her pulse is still a little chaotic. If it were normal, it wouldn't be a big problem, but your family is pregnant with twins, so you have to be more cautious than others. Let her rest more now to prevent any problems. It's always better to be cautious when there is no problem than to remedy it after there is a problem. This way, both adults and children will suffer."
Zhuang Zhixi nodded.
Mingmei also asked cautiously: "Is there anything I should be more careful about?"
"I'll write it down for you. Also, you'd better supplement your nutrition and eat better..." At this point, she looked up at Mingmei and said, "Well, you shouldn't be short of food, but now you are eating for three people. Since conditions allow, you should eat better."
Mingmei: "Okay."
Mingmei smiled gently and felt a little more at ease.
I have to say, although pregnancy is a matter between one's husband and oneself, at a time like this, seeing a doctor is more reassuring than seeing one's own man.
This is not nonsense at all.
Seeing the old doctor wrote some precautions for her to be careful, Mingmei carefully put them in her pocket.
"Your condition isn't that serious, so I won't prescribe any medicine for you. You can just go home and focus on nourishing yourself with food."
"OK."
The young couple went out with the medical records in their hands. Zhuang Zhixi held Mingmei with one arm. If they were outside like this, they would be called hooligans. But Mingmei was pregnant, and her belly was very obvious, so it was okay.
He held his wife with one arm and carried the bag with the other, being very careful.
Mingmei laughed: "I'm fine."
"You have to be careful then."
Mingmei: "But I really didn't expect that I would have to rest for such a long time without feeling anything. I thought they would prescribe a lot of pregnancy-maintaining medicine for me, but they didn't..."
Zhuang Zhixi thought that the seven-day holiday was indeed due to Mingmei's unstable fetus, but it was also because of the one dollar...
He said nothing, but smiled and said, "Didn't the doctor say that you should eat some nourishing food? Let mom make you some steamed eggs with minced meat tonight."
Mingmei swallowed her saliva and said, "That would be great."
She muttered, "Since I had the baby, I've become more greedy than before."
Zhuang Zhixi said righteously: "Why are you greedy? It's obviously the child who wants to eat, and it's the kid in your belly who is greedy."
Mingmei; "Poof!"
She laughed, and the couple went home together. Before they left, everyone sat in his house and chatted. After they came back, they were still chatting in their house. When Zhao Guihua saw them coming back, she quickly asked, "How was it?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "The doctor said that the fetus was a little disturbed and it would be best to rest for a while. He prescribed a week of rest."
“Huh!”
"Ah, that's really a bit bad."
"Pregnant women, you have to be careful..."
In everyone's opinion, it was a big deal for the doctor to ask people to rest for a week.
"It's not easy for a woman to get pregnant."
"That's right."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Please take a seat. I'm going to Mingmei's workplace."
They needed to make up the medical records. If it was three days, Zhuang Zhixi was thinking of waiting for Mingmei to take it over when she got to work. But now that it had been a week, he planned to send it over directly. After all, there is a big difference between three days and seven days, and he couldn't delay other people's work.
"Okay, go ahead."
He held Mingmei's hand and said, "If you feel uncomfortable, lie down for a while."
Mingmei shook her head: "I'm fine, I want to chat with everyone."
Who doesn't like to gossip?
Everyone understood, Zhuang Zhixi smiled and walked out.
To be honest, he came to Mingmei's workplace quite frequently, but this was his first time going upstairs. He registered with the doorman downstairs, and then came to Director Chen's office with the medical records: "Hello, Director Chen, I'm Mingmei's lover, my last name is Zhuang, Zhuang Zhixi, I'm here to deliver the medical records to Mingmei. Because the hospital recommends a week's rest, my wife is afraid that it will affect her work, so she asked me to deliver it quickly so as not to affect everyone's work."
Director Chen nodded: "I know you. You always come to pick up Mingmei."
She looked down and was really surprised: "A week's break?"
Zhuang Zhixi nodded, pretending to be in pain, and said, "Yes, the doctor said she had a miscarriage and needs to be taken good care of. Mainly because she was really scared last night..."
After hearing this, Director Chen asked quickly, "I just heard that Ming Mei had a miscarriage and had to take leave. I don't know what happened yet. How could she have a miscarriage out of the blue? Did you take good care of your wife?"
Zhuang Zhixi: “This…”
He said: "This is a long story..."
"Tell me."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Some time ago, a young man from our yard had a fight with a neighbor from the next door compound, and he kicked and broke his thing, that's it."
Director Chen: “…I understand.”
Zhuang Zhixi: "It is said that the examination yesterday morning showed that the boy who was kicked will not be able to have children in the future. So he went crazy and came directly to our yard in the afternoon and attacked us at the door..."
He spoke vividly, and finally said helplessly: "I am so unlucky. I got up to go to the toilet at night, and I met this man hiding in the toilet. In order to silence me, I almost got hacked to death. Fortunately, there was a thunderbolt at that time. It was really unpredictable. A thunderbolt struck him. My wife was shocked and frightened when she ran out. She had a miscarriage."
Director Chen: “…”
Silence, endless silence.
After a long while, she said, "So the lightning thing they were talking about was what happened on your side."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Isn't it? Has it spread so quickly?"
Director Chen nodded: "Yes, I guess the whole city knows about it."
After all, such magical things that are full of feudal superstition spread very quickly.
Director Chen: "This is really...Okay, come with me, let Mingmei have a good rest at home, I will take you to the Personnel Department and deliver this."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Okay, thank you."
"It's okay. It's all as it should be. Mingmei's mother is also an old acquaintance of mine."
The two of them went to the Personnel Department, and Director Chen quickly said to them: "Hey, do you know? The one who was struck by lightning..."
Zhuang Zhixi...can't leave.
"Ah, I heard he was struck twice?"
"What does it look like when someone is struck by lightning? Did you see it?"
"It's scary just to think about it."
"Xiao Zhuang, right? You can just let Mingmei rest at home. If she comes to work, there will be people who want to plot against her..."
Don't say that the people in their yard gossip, now everyone does this. When Zhuang Zhixi heard everyone say this, he immediately asked: "Plot against her? Why plot against her when she's pregnant?"
"Well, there are always shameless people. About half a month ago, a woman was transferred here. She is really... We are all women, but she doesn't understand the hardships of women at all. She only thinks about how much benefit she can get. You don't know, this person..."
Zhuang Zhixi listened with a smile, very seriously.
After a while, Zhuang Zhixi roughly understood what was going on. His expression did not change, but he said with a smile: "Then she probably doesn't know Mingmei's situation. If she knew, she would definitely not say that. Mingmei's current condition, the doctor asked her to rest more, let alone go to work as a conductor on the bus to catch thieves. Even if she goes to work normally, I'm afraid she will have to take leave frequently. Of course, this job requires hard work, but the body and experience do not allow it. There is no other way. Our Mingmei is still sad at home because she can't go to work. I told her not to think too much, and it is important to take good care of her body."
"Of course."
"You are so naive, you actually think the best of others. Some people just want to step on others to gain credit."
Zhuang Zhixi smiled, looking innocent and simple, and said, "I don't think so."
"Are you stupid?"
Zhuang Zhixi is still innocent and smiles brightly.
But no one bothered about this topic. Everyone was more curious about: the person who was struck by lightning.
Anyway, there were all kinds of rumors. Zhuang Zhixi took his leave and didn't stay here for long, leaving the venue for gossip. But no one knew that when he left Mingmei's unit, his face immediately turned gloomy. He didn't go home, but went straight to his mother-in-law's house...
This guy has even plotted against his wife. He really needs to find out what's going on with this woman and where this mad dog came from.
Zhuang Zhixi rode his bike to his mother-in-law's house and unexpectedly saw an acquaintance from their compound - Hu Huihui.
Hu Huihui claimed that she escaped from marriage and left home despite the evil forces. Now she works as a temporary worker in the Cultural Palace, earning ten yuan a month. However, at this time, she came out from another place. Yes, it was a certain committee.
She came out with a cross-body bag, and there was another person beside her, the two of them walking side by side.
Well, Zhuang Zhixi also knows this person.
This man was Deputy Director Zheng, who had been leading people to clean out feces at the toilet at the entrance of their alley for several days. Not to mention Zhuang Zhixi, even Xiaoyanzi, who was still in kindergarten, could recognize this guy at once.
After the two people came out, they walked towards the east together. Hu Huihui seemed to have some problems with her legs and feet. She walked unsteadily and leaned against Deputy Director Zheng.
Zhuang Zhixi: “…”
It's true, she came to the yard for some other purpose.
Zhuang Zhixi shook his head and no longer cared about what plan this woman had. It was most likely the one he guessed.
Zhuang Zhixi didn't want to say anything more. He just knew what was going on. He headed straight for his mother-in-law's house, pedaling his wheels at an incredible speed. He turned the corner almost in a flash...
At this time, Hu Huihui was still saying to Deputy Director Zheng: "My cousin must have lied. She slept with Yu Baoshan. I am sure of that."
She was very excited, but Deputy Director Zheng didn't care about that.
What he was concerned about was the whereabouts of the gold, silver and jewelry.
He is not interested in those things involving broken shoes.
It's not like he came here by himself.
"Then she kept it secret because she has a close relationship with Yu Baoshan?"
Hu Huihui: "I don't know, I can't say for sure, but she shouldn't try to hide it, don't even think about it, hehe..."
Hasn't Wang Xiangxiu always been rude to her? This time, she can't let it go!
She made this matter known to everyone.
Didn't you, Wang Xiangxiu, take the money and still be mean to me?
I'm not someone you can easily mess with! Hu Huihui laughed out loud, feeling extremely happy...
Now, I've caught your weakness!
