Chapter 58: Shao Le Didn't Understand
In the large office, Shao Le had already applied the medicine, and he told everyone the reason for the incident with a grin.
After Lu Qiage set up a service station, Shao Le went to the public security bureau to assist Officer Liu. Lu Qiage was also a mediator. Under the premise of running the service station, some minor disputes were not delayed in being resolved.
This time, Li Ying, the wife of Master Liu from Workshop 4, did not come to see the mediator, but went directly to the Public Security Bureau to find Officer Liu, saying that Liu Yu wanted to kill her. She was very scared and hoped that the Public Security Bureau could send Liu Yu to the farm for labor reform.
So Shao Le and Secretary Liu went to Liu's house, and before going they also learned about Master Liu's family situation.
Liu Yu is the youngest son of Master Liu and his ex-wife. He is fourteen years old and works as an apprentice in a shoe repair shop. Li Ying is Master Liu’s second wife, and Liu Yu’s biological mother died when he was three years old.
Shao Le went to Liu's house and found that Liu Yu was skinny and silent. He just stared at Li Ying with hateful eyes.
When Shao Le said this, he went to see Lu Qiaoge and said with some annoyance, "I thought at the time, isn't this similar to what happened with Zhou Li's family? It's obvious that Li Ying was lying. Such a thin child, short in stature, looks like the type who doesn't have enough food to eat and is beaten and scolded at home. I said Li Ying was just making up a rumor without evidence. Although Liu Yu is not your son, he is also a member of the Liu family. You can't find an excuse to drive him out. I didn't expect Li Ying to rush over and hit me. I was not prepared for a moment and was scratched by her twice. This old... old woman is too fierce."
Lu Qiaoge felt that Shao Le might want to call her an old shrew or something like that, but she didn't dare to do so because Director Hu was around.
But at this time Shao Le hesitated.
Sister Qiao asked, "Why are you hesitating? Is there something you can't say?"
Shao Le immediately said: "Before I left, that Liu Yu actually said: Li Ying is right, I just want to kill her!"
After a pause, Shao Le frowned and said, "When Master Liu heard this, he grabbed Liu Yu and slapped him. Secretary Liu and I finally stopped him. We wanted to ask what was going on, but Master Liu said that the child was ignorant and he would discipline him, and then he drove Secretary Liu and I out."
Lu Qiaoge thought for a moment and asked, "How did Liu Yu's biological mother die?"
Director Hu looked at Lu Qiaoge in surprise. He found that this girl's focus on certain things was different from that of most people.
"I don't know. Our street office only registers basic family information."
And because it was an emergency, no one went to investigate.
At this time, Secretary Liu also walked into the big office and gave Shao Le a displeased look, "What a fool! Although Master Zhou and Master Liu's family situations are similar, each has its own problems. If you don't ask clearly, you can't use the same method to handle them."
In fact, he also felt that Liu Yu was being abused.
He saw that the child's arms were all bruised, and the contrast was too obvious.
Li Ying's ex-husband died. She used to live next door to Master Liu's house and was said to have a good relationship with Liu Yu's biological mother.
After Liu Yu's biological mother died, she married into the Liu family with her two sons, and both sons changed their surnames to Liu.
The eldest is sixteen years old this year and is working as an apprentice in the fourth workshop with Master Liu. The second oldest is the same age as Liu Yu, but is in junior high school.
Li Ying's two sons are tall and strong.
Li Ying and Master Liu also had a daughter, who must have been very loved.
Even a fool can see the child’s situation at home, but Liu Yu’s biological father is still alive, and if he doesn’t say anything, no one else can do anything.
Shao Le grinned: "Then...are you still in charge of this matter?"
Secretary Liu said angrily: "How can we just ignore it? What if what Liu Yu said is true?"
Sister Qiao frowned and said, "I heard that Master Liu beats children very harshly."
Ren Xiaocui sighed and said, "It can be said that if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather."
Director Hu immediately said, "We can't generalize from a few examples. There are more than 50,000 people in our Xiangyang Subdistrict Office, and there are many reconstituted families. Whether it's stepmothers or stepfathers, there are many who treat their children well and are in harmony with their spouses, just like a family, aren't there?"
Ren Xiaocui laughed: "I was just expressing my feelings in the office. I wouldn't say that outside."
Director Hu looked at the time and hesitated. It was almost time to get off work, but Shao Le reported...
"When you came out, did Master Liu beat the child?"
Officer Liu said: "I warned Master Liu not to touch the child."
But in the end, Director Hu was still worried, and he happened to pass by Master Liu's residence after get off work.
He took Shao Le and Secretary Liu to check out the situation. Lu Qiaoge was supposed to work with the volunteers in the afternoon, so Lu Qiaoge went to the night school again.
Fortunately, it was not far away, and Lu Qiaoge walked fast, so he arrived in a short while.
Once again, Lu Qiaoge was looking forward to having a bicycle.
But the problem now is that not only do we not have bicycle tickets at home, we also don’t have money.
A Fei Ge bicycle costs 180 yuan in the department store.
She had less than fifty cents in her pocket.
Fortunately, I can go out even if I don’t have money in my pocket, otherwise I would be in trouble.
Lu Qiage was lost in thought as he arrived at the night school. He arranged the work and asked everyone to come later in the afternoon. After all, the weather was a bit hot now and they must not get heatstroke.
These people don't want to go back to the countryside and can't find a job for the time being, but their families don't want them to leave either.
But this is not a long-term solution.
They are extremely eager to have a place where they can work and be accommodated.
Even if it's for free.
So the honest Meng Qingshan said, "Xiao Lu, Zhou Li can also use herbs to make tea to relieve the heat. Let's work harder this afternoon and make all the clay pieces."
Lu Qiaoge did not continue to dissuade him. She would come in the afternoon as well. After thinking for a while, she asked Meng Qingshan again, "How much more yellow mud do you need?"
Meng Qingshan pointed to the pile of dirt and said, "We have pulled them all back, it should be enough."
Du Shuang, who was standing nearby, put his hand on his chest and said, "I always feel a little dreadful when I go to Huangnitang."
Lu Qiaoling asked quickly, "Why?"
Du Shuang's face changed. "I heard from my mother that the wife of Master Liu from Workshop 4 drowned in the Yellow Mud Pond. But that happened more than ten years ago. After the accident, the Yellow Mud Pond was filled up."
Lu Qiaoge glanced in the direction of Huangnitang and suppressed the strange feeling in his heart.
Have everyone put their tools in the classroom and lock them up, then go home to eat and take a break.
Lu Qiaoge and Lu Qiaoling also returned home. Lu Xiaosi was waiting at the gate. When he saw Lu Qiaoge, he pointed to the swallow's nest and then pointed to his own mouth.
This means that Naughty Swallow brought the White Water Bamboo back and ate it too.
Maybe it was a psychological effect, but Lu Qiage felt that Xiao Si was in much better condition.
It looks like he might be able to go to school by September.
Lu Qiaoge walked into the yard and found that Old Lu was also at home with a happy look on his face.
Seeing her two daughters coming back, Meng Xia said happily: "Guess where I went to work?"
Lu Qiaoling jumped over in surprise: "Mom, don't keep me in suspense, tell me where you went."
Lu Qiaoge scooped up a handful of cold water and splashed it on her face. Oh, it was so cool. She also smiled and said, "My mother went to work as a school janitor at the factory's elementary school."
Thank you for your support, love you, happy weekend~
