Old Mrs. Xia cleaned up the mess with a gloomy face. She was reluctant to throw away the food, so she asked the canteen for some oil paper to wrap the food in and prepare to feed the dog raised at the back door of the factory.
Qiao Yi was frightened and embarrassed. The other two tried to persuade her, but she cried even harder. Finally, she hugged Old Lady Xia and rested her head on her shoulder. "How could I have met such a person? Wuwu, Comrade Xia, wuwu~"
Old Mrs. Xia had a blank expression on her face: ...Maybe it’s because you trust people so easily, like herself, and that beastly man.
It was obvious that Qiao Yi and Old Lady Xia had only had contact during the quarrel at the gate yesterday. They rarely talked to each other in the dormitory. However, for some reason, after that incident, the girl felt that Old Lady Xia was a very reliable person and became very familiar with her.
Old Mrs. Xia's heart was broken, so how could she comfort anyone? But she couldn't push her away, so she could only sit there stiffly and let her cry, and cry out the tears in her head.
But the security department didn't let them go and called them both in. Qiao Yi walked while crying, attracting many people to watch.
"That's the thing. I think leaving such a thing in the factory is not friendly to our workers. If it suddenly explodes and hurts someone one day, our factory's reputation will be even worse. It's better to send him to the public security bureau now. He wants to kill someone." Old Mrs. Xia began to speak ill of Tian Chengping to his face with emotional appeals and logical explanations.
"Fire him! Firing him is a must. He wanted to kill someone. How could he still be allowed to stay in the factory? He's a murderer. So many people in the cafeteria can prove it. Even if he didn't succeed in killing Comrade Xiao Qiao, his intentions are clear. Otherwise, who in their right mind would hit someone with a stool like that?"
"You're not going to protect him just because he's a man, or because he got in through connections, are you? If you really do that, the reputation of our factory in this area will be ruined. I can keep it to myself, but can you really shut up so many people in the cafeteria?"
"This guy has a bad reputation back home. He hasn't made any achievements since coming to the factory. He didn't even take the exam for a promotion. He just wanders around the factory every day seducing innocent girls. Isn't that bad enough? He's a piece of rubbish that could piss off his own father to death."
Old Mrs. Xia spoke like a machine gun, with only one purpose, to send the bad guy Tian Chengping in jail.
Tian Chengping was not an honest man. How could he not be excited after hearing such words? The others almost couldn't hold him down. He wanted to fight with the old lady.
The two started arguing in the security department, and Qiao Yi was crying beside them, saying how bad he was. Sometimes he cheated her of her money, and sometimes he tried to trick her into having an affair with him.
As soon as these words were spoken, the people from the security department reported it directly, tied the man up, and asked Old Lady Xia and Qiao Yi to go to the Public Security Bureau together to report.
Soon, the group came out of the Public Security Bureau. Tian Chengping was temporarily detained, but from what they said, it didn't really happen so it didn't count as the crime of having an affair, and no one was hurt, so he could only be detained for ten days for the crime of disturbing the public order.
Qiao Yi sobbed and suddenly said, "I wish I had been hit."
Old Mrs. Xia and others: ...It seems you really hate it.
Old Mrs. Xia was walking back to the factory with a few of them.
Old Lady Xia: "This is an unexpected disaster for us. Will the factory deduct our wages?"
Security escort: "..."
Old Lady Xia: "We are the victims. We were eating our meals and almost got beaten up. Tell me about this. Is it our private matter?"
The accompanying security officer sighed, "The leader said not to deduct it. This is an accident at the factory, so the factory is also responsible."
Old Mrs. Xia immediately gave a thumbs-up and said, "Our factory leaders are very humane."
Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of someone out of the corner of her eye. Old Mrs. Xia's heart skipped a beat and she immediately chased after him to see if it was him, but she was stopped by someone. "Comrade Xia, where are you going? Even though you went to the Public Security Bureau, you still have to go to work in the afternoon."
Old Lady Xia pushed him away impatiently, "Just deduct my money, I have something to do."
She ran in that direction, but the person turned a corner and disappeared. Old Mrs. Xia stood at the intersection, confused. Could it be her?
She caught up with Qiao Yi and the others dejectedly, not in the mood to talk.
Even after work, she didn't have the energy to eat. She lay in bed, feeling depressed.
That person looked too much like her sister, her sister, who was rarely seen after being sold to an old bachelor by her parents for a high bride price. She was locked up by her parents and not allowed to go to high school, so she ran away from her husband's home and spent money and effort to transfer her household registration and food supply to her sister in high school. Later, I heard that after graduating from high school, she risked being beaten to pay money so that she was not allowed to come back, not allowed to tell her parents what job she found or where she went, and not allowed to visit her sister.
Even now, she often thinks of her. But her sister said that it was like she had severed ties, that this was her life, and that dying early would be a blessing. But Xia Yue'e still had a good future and shouldn't be held back by her parents. She told him many times not to see her, and that if he did, she would die.
Old Lady Xia knew that if she returned, she would bring a group of vampires with her. If her parents died, her brothers would come to suck their blood, and if her brothers died, there would be their children. That village was so terrifying, the whole village was so terrifying.
She clearly saw her sister today. She will never forget the way her sister walked. It was the lifelong illness she had when she asked her parents to let her go to school.
Her sister also escaped?
She suddenly thought of Chen Xiangbei. The kid had no special skills, but he was very good at asking questions. She jumped up, put on some clothes and wanted to run out.
Qiao Yi brought her some food back. She was the one treating the other two people in the dormitory to dinner. The farce at noon had prevented them from eating, and Qiao Yi felt bad about it, so she offered to help.
Old Mrs. Xia didn't want to eat, so Qiao Yi brought her some. But she looked so anxious and worried, wondering what had happened. She wondered if she could help. "Comrade Xia, what happened? I brought you some food. If it's not urgent, you can eat it first. If it's urgent, I'll go with you so I can take care of you."
"No, I'm really in a hurry. Thank you, I'll eat when I come back." Without even looking back, Old Mrs. Xia went to Old Chen's compound like a gust of wind.
She originally thought that she never wanted to set foot in that house again in her life, but her sister's affairs were more important.
