Yu Meixia showered Zhou Pandi with compliments, one after another, making Zhou Pandi's face instantly turn bright red with anger.
"Yu Meixia!"
"What?" Yu Meixia raised her chin and said disdainfully, "You can't stand it? I thought you were so magnanimous."
"You spout nonsense about things you didn't even see. How do you feel when I tell you this?"
"The one who gets beaten up ends up being slandered, with people saying, 'You're the one who got beaten up, are you even human?' Isn't that like stabbing someone in the heart?"
Zhou Pandi maintained her stubbornness to the end, and said defiantly, "I'm not making this up, she really did hit someone."
Yu Meixia laughed in anger, "You shameless pig, you're like a dead pig that's not afraid of boiling water."
Seeing the two getting closer and closer, the atmosphere between them becoming tense, as if they could start fighting at any moment, the crowd quickly pulled them apart.
Grandma Wu also grabbed Yu Meixia's arm, and seeing her arguing so fiercely for her sake, a warm feeling welled up in her heart.
More and more people crowded in the middle, and while pulling, Grandma Wu accidentally slapped Zhou Pandi's face.
A crisp slap rang out in the noisy crowd, but no one noticed. Zhou Pandi, who was hit, was stunned at first, and then looked incredulously at Old Lady Wu, who was trying to mediate the fight with a gentle expression.
The next second, in everyone's eyes, a furious Zhou Pandi lunged at Old Lady Wu, baring her teeth and claws, yelling, "You dare hit me! I'll scratch you to death!"
Grandma Wu pulled the stunned Yu Meixia aside, and the others also reacted and helped Zhou Pandi up.
"Pandi, what's wrong with you? We just had a few words, there's no need to hit someone."
Yu Meixia also frowned. Zhou Pandi couldn't take this lying down. Was it because she had used too many harsh words?
No, it didn't involve parents or ancestors for eighteen generations. It seems they really can't afford to play this game.
Zhou Pandi was lifted into the air by several tall and strong women, while her feet kicked hard towards Old Lady Wu.
She looked furious. "She hit me!"
Upon closer inspection, Old Mrs. Wu still looked innocent, as if she didn't know what had happened. The burning sensation on her ears and cheeks fueled her anger. "Wu Mingxia, you hit me, and you don't even dare to admit it. What kind of woman are you!"
Wu Mingxia's lips twitched, and as everyone looked over, she lowered her eyes and said, "Fine, since you say I hit you, then I'll hit you."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Pandi immediately pointed at her excitedly, then turned and swept her head over the onlookers, "Listen! She admitted it!"
Jumping around, Zhou Pandi looked as if she had been exonerated. She pushed away the people supporting her, put her hands on her hips, raised her chin high, and flared her large nostrils, facing Old Lady Wu and the others.
"Did you hit the Huang father and son?"
Wu Mingxia nodded honestly, "I hit him." He looked sincere and even added, "And he hit me pretty hard."
Zhou Pandi exhaled two breaths from her nostrils, finally feeling a sense of relief. She looked triumphantly at the people around her, "Look! She said these words herself and admitted to hitting someone. Quickly call the police and have her arrested."
After waiting for a while with no movement around, a few women who were relatively close to Zhou Pandi stepped forward and tugged at her, looking embarrassed. "Pandi, it's alright! The factory manager should be here soon."
The people around her looked at her with disbelief, even as if she were a fool. Her heart pounded as if a small hammer was striking her, and she roared in anger.
"Are you deaf?! Didn't you hear what she said?!"
Wu Mingxia picked at her ear and pretended to comfort her, "Okay, okay, I admit it, alright? I hit my own man and child, and I hit you just now too."
"Let's go back quickly, what kind of mess is this?"
No sooner had she finished speaking than Yu Meixia puffed out her chest and glared at Zhou Pan, "Don't even mention that Ming Xia didn't do it. Even if he did, he's still his own man and child. If he did, so be it. What does it have to do with you, an outsider!"
Zhou Pan stared at me for a long time, speechless, her face turning red with anger.
Those around her chimed in, "Yeah, Zhou Pandi, you're meddling too much. Even if they did, it's a family matter. What grounds do you have for reporting it to the police?"
Zhou Pan was speechless for a moment, about to spit it out, when the sour, spicy, and slightly numb sensation immediately snapped her out of her daze, and she quickly said, "But she also hit me!"
She pointed to her burning face and said, "Look, my face is all swollen, isn't it? It's burning hot right now."
Everyone's eyes were fixed on her face, and they were speechless. They guessed that the factory manager should be arriving soon, so they all waved and left.
"You! Are you all blind?! Can't you see my swollen face?!"
Yu Meixia carefully examined Zhou Pandi's face from head to toe, then chuckled, "Hey! Zhou Pandi, your face is always so chubby and red, isn't it?"
Seeing that she couldn't see, Zhou Pandi reached out her chubby hand and pulled the person next to her to take a good look at her face to see if it was swollen.
After a while, a slightly hesitant and embarrassed voice sounded in her ear, "Pandi, your face has always looked like this..."
Wu Mingxia lowered his head, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes, and the previously noisy crowd immediately fell silent.
Four or five people walked out of the platform one after another. The factory manager was genuinely pleased to see the workers looking so energetic.
When I'm happy, I start talking a lot of nonsense.
Even as those around him grew increasingly impatient, Wu Mingxia remained serious. Zhou Pandi glared at him fiercely, feigning concern.
Before they could look away, the factory manager's loud voice came through the microphone, "Who is that serious-looking woman?"
Following the factory manager's gaze, Wu Mingxia suddenly appeared in front of everyone, along with Zhou Pandi's distorted expression.
"Factory manager, that's Wu Mingxia, the group leader of Workshop 5."
Zhou Pandi was startled awake by the sound. She quickly lowered her head, glancing at Wu Mingxia not far away, her teeth grinding together.
The factory manager glanced at Zhou Pandi, who was not far from Old Lady Wu, his brows furrowed slightly, and then he quickly disappeared.
"Comrade Wu Mingxia's spirit of diligent study is commendable, very good, very good."
After the factory manager finished his morning speech in a few words, the workers gathered around Old Lady Wu to say nice things after he and his entourage left.
Zhou Pan glanced over and snorted coldly, "What's so smug about?"
Yu Meixia was too lazy to respond, and so was Old Lady Wu.
Everyone chimed in, expressing their sympathy for Old Lady Wu, saying, "Don't worry, we won't believe Zhou Pandi's nonsense."
Grandma Wu spread her hands and said, "I really did hit him."
Everyone sighed, "Zhou Pandi, that troublemaker, is gone. Even if you go along with what she says, she might not like you."
Grandma Wu raised an eyebrow and sighed inwardly. She was telling the truth, so why didn't anyone believe her?
