She first glanced at Xiao Weiguo cautiously, only to see his gentle yet encouraging gaze fixed on her, as if giving her an invisible strength.
So she took a deep breath and mustered her courage to speak.
"Chairman, look at us. We are all women who came from the countryside. We can't read many words, let alone understand any profound principles!"
But my husband still lost his life in this factory!
Back then, in order to send the men in my family to university, our whole family did everything we could and gave it our all!
Now, there are still two babies at home, crying for food. They've lost their father; how are we supposed to get by from now on?
As she spoke, her eyes gradually reddened, and tears flowed uncontrollably like a burst dam.
Seeing this, Xiao Weiguo quickly offered some gentle words of comfort.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry. If you have any difficulties, just tell me slowly. I will definitely understand your predicament."
Hearing this, Ma Sulan calmed herself down slightly, quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, then looked up at Xiao Weiguo with determination and continued.
"Chairman, I really don't have any excessive demands. I know very well that my husband's death was not because of this textile factory. If anyone is to blame, it's those heartless and wicked people!"
Therefore, I will absolutely not put all the blame on the silk mill.
However, for the sake of my two poor children's future survival, I was thinking, could you please arrange a job for me? No matter how hard or tiring it is, as long as I can work in this textile factory!
Having a salary ensures the child won't starve, don't you think?
Xiao Weiguo's gaze fell on the woman in her thirties in front of him, and a few doubts welled up in his heart again.
She spoke clearly and calmly, and her requests were reasonable, unlike the kind of unreasonable person one might expect.
But why did she lose her mind the moment she saw Widow Liu, as if she had become a different person?
There must be some unknown reason hidden here.
Xiao Weiguo nodded calmly and then spoke slowly to Ma Sulan.
"Sister-in-law, your requests are not excessive at all."
Rest assured, as the company representative, I can grant your request on the spot.
We will definitely arrange a suitable job for you within the group.
Furthermore, based on the current situation, we will also provide additional compensation measures to ensure that the families of the victims can maintain a normal standard of living in the future.
After all, Panlong Group has always been a warm and harmonious family, and we will never forget any employee or their family who has worked hard for the company.
At this point, he slowly shifted his gaze to the woman standing to the side who had just participated in the beating.
The woman was rather robust and had a stern face; she was undoubtedly Wang Guoying's wife.
Xiao Weiguo asked softly.
"Sister-in-law, I've heard that you are Wang Guoying's wife. May I ask your name?"
"Sister-in-law Ma has already stated her demands. Do you have any other conditions you'd like to add?"
Compared to Ma Sulan, the woman called Li Sanxiu was noticeably colder, and even her tone of voice carried a hint of chill.
She replied expressionlessly.
“My name is Li Sanxiu, and Wang Guoying and I are a couple. Since my sister-in-law has already stated her conditions, I won’t cause any trouble. I’ll just do as she says. I have no objections.”
After saying that, she turned her head away without hesitation and ignored Xiao Weiguo.
However, during this brief conversation, Xiao Weiguo keenly sensed something amiss.
The phrase "still a couple" is quite intriguing; what exactly does it mean?
Generally speaking, couples are either deeply in love and support each other, or they are full of conflicts and like strangers. Such an ambiguous statement is rare.
Could it be that there are some unknown secrets hidden behind this?
It seems that the relationship between the couple is not as normal as it appears on the surface.
However, although Xiao Weiguo had many questions in his mind, he did not voice them. Instead, he slightly raised the corners of his mouth, revealed a faint smile, and then nodded gently, speaking slowly.
“Sister-in-law Li, you are just like Sister-in-law Ma, both reasonable people. When I get back, I will make proper arrangements and do my best to meet all your requests.”
Upon hearing this, Li Sanxiu merely responded softly and made no further comment.
It seemed as if this matter had little to do with her.
Xiao Weiguo's gaze involuntarily lingered on her, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he frowned thoughtfully.
After a moment's thought, he slowly withdrew his gaze.
We've gathered most of the information we need, but there are some things that are inconvenient to ask in front of everyone. We'll have to wait until we get back and explore them more deeply.
There are too many perplexing mysteries surrounding this village. It would be difficult for Xiao Weiguo and Jiao Bai to figure out the whole story on their own at this moment.
"Village Chief Wang, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave. I'll handle these matters in your village as soon as possible."
