Although Chen Manyu had often been bullied because he was a little less intelligent than his peers, this was the first time he had ever seen such a large-scale event.
Being stupid is not the same as being dumb. Even if intelligence grows slowly, it is still growing. This is especially true for children from poor families, who encounter more situations and develop subconscious habits.
When he was bullied in the past, he would often hide at home for a few days and only go out when no one was looking for him.
So after thinking about it for a moment, he understood what Li Xunli meant: "Aunt Li, then you shouldn't come either, right?"
Li Xunli smiled at him and said, "Don't worry, your aunt is an adult, nothing will happen to her."
Chen Manyu wanted to say that those people were also adults, men, and when they hit someone, it hurt even more than a woman's beating.
However, he was used to listening to the adults he was close to, so he only thought about these words and didn't say them out loud, but could only obediently agree.
However, Li Xunjin was still quite worried. "Since you want to come, I'll take you here every morning and take you back when I get off work in the evening."
Everyone saw the look in Li Bo's eyes when he left.
At this time, Chaocheng was not exactly safe, and it was common for groups of hooligans to cause trouble.
There are also motorcyclists who snatch pedestrians from the road.
The people Li Bo brought were clearly a bunch of good-for-nothing slackers.
However, logically speaking, Li Bo has already made a lot of money, and the old man already has chronic illnesses, so even if he has to pay compensation, the amount won't be much.
Why make such a big fuss this time?
And it's such a flawed setup.
Shen Qingqing was very confused by Li Bo's half-hearted and disorganized actions.
She always felt that there was something wrong with that look in her eyes.
Not only did she not understand, but neither did Li Xunjin and Li Xunli.
However, just to be on the safe side, Li Xunli agreed to let Li Xunjin pick her up and drop her off.
Li Xunli did not hide this from Shen Rongzhou; she told him about it when he returned that evening.
Shen Rongzhou's expression changed, and he could no longer drink the chicken soup. He held Li Xunli's hand tightly, not daring to let go.
“Even if your brother picks you up and drops you off every day, it’s still not safe for you to be alone at the porcelain kiln. You’re letting Manyu go back. If something really happens, there will be no one to come out and look for you.” Shen Rongzhou frowned and sighed as he spoke.
Li Xunli disagreed, saying, "You know there's danger. It's easier for me to run away alone. Manyu is their only child. If something happens to him, where am I supposed to find another child to compensate?"
Shen Rongzhou opened his mouth, wanting to say that he only had one wife, and who would compensate him if something happened.
But in the end, he didn't say it.
I spent a week in a state of constant anxiety, but nothing happened.
After arriving at the porcelain kiln that day, Li Xunli said to Li Xunjin, "Brother, everything should be alright now, right? You don't need to pick me up tomorrow, you still have to go to the company, it's tiring to travel back and forth."
Li Xunjin cautiously replied, "Who knows when something might happen? It's best to be careful until something does happen."
Li Xunli thought about it and felt that Li Xunjin's words made sense, so she didn't refute them anymore.
Unexpectedly, something bad happened that afternoon.
No one cooks at home on weekdays, and after that incident, Li Xunjin has been picking up Li Xunli to go back to the Li family home for lunch every day.
To her surprise, when she returned in the afternoon, the mess on the ground made Li Xunli's eyes widen in horror.
The original heavy solid wood door had a large hole smashed into the middle and downwards, and there was also a clear crack in the upper part that went straight to the edge.
The lock was also smashed and thrown on the ground.
Li Xunli rushed in to check the other items in the kiln.
Li Xunjin followed closely behind and went inside. "How was it?"
After entering the kiln, Li Xunli looked around and found that there was nothing wrong with it.
The only damaged part was the main gate.
"Everything's fine inside, and Jingyuan's stuff is fine too." Li Xunli walked to the place where the corsages and buttons were kept, checked them nervously, and shook her head before saying this.
Those that had already been fired were locked in a cabinet, while those that were still air-drying and waiting to be glazed were placed on shelves to air-dry.
There were no problems.
The brother and sister exchanged a glance, both knowing perfectly well who had smashed the door like that.
I can't help but feel a little relieved that no one was there when they came to smash things.
Otherwise, the consequences might be more than just the door being smashed.
"Don't come to the kiln again recently. As for the goods, I'll talk to Jingyuan. Use what's already made and usable for now, and we'll make more when things calm down and things are more stable." Li Xunjin made a decisive decision.
That door was designed to be sturdy; it was made of solid wood and was quite heavy.
And that crack, it's clearly a mark made by an axe.
If Li Xunjin still feels comfortable letting Li Xunli stay after all this, then he shouldn't even be a human being.
Li Xunli wasn't some fool who wouldn't learn her lesson until she was faced with a dire situation. She immediately packed up the already-made corsages and buttons, ready to take them with her.
Then all the porcelain blanks that were air-drying were put into the kiln and sealed.
After she finished processing the shipment, Li Xunjin had already reported it to the police.
Even though I know I won't be able to catch them, it's good to at least give them some deterrence.
"How about we replace this door with a stainless steel one? And change the lock too." After finishing his call, Li Xunjin went back to take the wooden box that Li Xunli was carrying.
Li Xunli nodded: "Okay, brother, you can arrange it."
The entire wooden door was completely destroyed beyond recognition.
Li Xunli didn't take the items home either; instead, Li Xunjin took them back to the company. They would find a time to notify Wu Jingyuan to come and pick them up first, and then discuss the matter of suspending production for a while.
When Shen Qingqing got home, she heard the sound of a television coming from inside the house before she even opened the door.
Hmm? Didn't her mother go to the porcelain kiln today?
Shen Qingqing took out her key and opened the door. As soon as she entered, she saw her mother sitting on the sofa with her back to the door. Commercials were playing on the TV, and Shen Yangyang was leaning on the sofa armrest, eating an apple.
Upon seeing Shen Qingqing return, Shen Yangyang exclaimed, "Sister, you're back!"
Shen Qingqing closed the door, took off her shoes and went over. She found that her mother seemed not to have heard Shen Yangyang's voice at all. She was still sitting motionless on the sofa, propping her head up with one hand and staring blankly into space.
"Mom? Mom!" Shen Qingqing stretched out her hand and waved it vigorously in front of Li Xunli several times.
It was probably the cold wind from her waving hands that made Li Xunli shiver before she came to her senses. When she saw Shen Qingqing standing in front of her, she looked like she was just noticing her and asked, "You're back?"
Shen Qingqing took off her schoolbag and looked at Li Xunli with a puzzled expression, asking, "What's wrong? What happened? How come you didn't notice Yangyang shouting so loudly just now?"
