But now it's too late to regret it.
Li Xiuzhi went to the Lu family to make trouble, just like a little kid, looking inadvertent but quickly causing huge public opinion in Haicheng. Secretary Jiang knew that Shen Subai had arranged everything long ago and did not use any power at all, and Lu Jianshe could not withstand the upcoming inspection.
Power oppresses people, and so does public opinion.
What's more, the Lu family has made a lot of jokes in the past year. Originally, they just used it as a topic of conversation after dinner, but now it is involved in possible corruption and bribery, so they must give an explanation to the old man.
Soon the Municipal Bureau held a meeting, the content of the meeting emphasized the word "clean government", and it quickly set off a self-reflection work among local officials from top to bottom, and Lu Jianshe became the key target of investigation.
When Lu Xueting found Lu Zhixing, he had just finished a surgery. After hearing what she said, he said, "I won't go."
"Brother, you don't even care about our dad?" Lu Xueting stamped her feet in anger: "Mom is still crying at home, and Dad has been taken away for investigation for a whole night, and he hasn't come back yet!"
Lu Zhixin frowned: "I'm going home."
He now put all his energy into his work, because once he had some free time, he would be reminded of Xie Yunshu's cold and disgusted eyes. He didn't dare to think about it but he couldn't help thinking about it and kept himself busy.
It will feel better if you are paralyzed to the point where you can't think and have no time to think.
Lu Xueting followed him: "Dad means that you should go find Xie Yunshu and ask her to beg Shen Subai. She is our daughter-in-law after all, we can't just sit back and do nothing..."
Lu Zhixing stopped walking, turned around and said sadly, "Xue Ting, I never understood why you thought Yun Shu would come back to help us? Does she owe the Lu family something?"
Lu Xueting said as a matter of course: "You didn't marry so many girls from good families, and you married her despite the pressure from your parents. She is a single working girl and she should be grateful to you! If it weren't for you, she..."
"How is she?" Lu Zhixing laughed at himself. "She has been a model worker at the packaging factory every year. She will live a stable life without any young men pursuing her. She will not be locked up in a psychiatric hospital, will not lose her job, and will not get divorced..."
Lu Xueting was speechless. After a while, she said unconvincedly, "Sister Xinyue...We can't be blamed for what happened to Zhou Xinyue. Who knew she was that kind of woman? Besides, Uncle Lu was very kind to our Lu family before. Isn't it right to repay the favor?"
"So what?" Lu Zhixing asked back: "What does the Lu family's gratitude have to do with Yunshu? We are not willing to give anything, so we want to sacrifice her."
He now understood this truth, but it was too late.
From the very beginning, there was an inequality between him and Xie Yunshu. He was the one who was always superior, thinking that because he rebelled against his family and married her, he had a reason to stand on his high ground and accuse her and despise her, but he never thought that she didn't insist on marrying him at that time.
Her other choice was for him to promise to treat her well, to deceive her into loving her in her ignorant and passionate way, and then she would not cherish what she had gained.
Lu Xueting was completely speechless until she arrived at the Lu family's door. She said reluctantly: "So what, will Shen Subai be sincere to her? It's obvious that she is trying to climb up the social ladder!"
Lu Zhixing didn't know whether Shen Subai was sincere or not, but he knew that so far, he had no capital to compete with Shen Subai.
At the Lu family, Cheng Yuxiang was already at a loss.
Yesterday, Li Xiuzhi came to make trouble, but was quickly taken away by the police from the police station. She breathed a sigh of relief, but Lu Jianshe became more and more anxious. She still felt that Old Lu was making a fuss over nothing, and advised him not to think too much.
They didn't really assign a job to Li Dayong, and they didn't really give the sleeping pills to Xie Yunshu, so they couldn't just pin the crime on them, right?
But that night, a lot of people suddenly came to the house, showing their ID cards saying they were from the Disciplinary Inspection Committee, and asked Lu Jianshe to go back with them for investigation, but no one came back! She asked a lot of people to help listen, but everyone was reluctant to talk about it, and even the entire family compound avoided her when they saw her, for fear of being implicated.
Ever since Lu Jianshe became deputy director and her son became director of Haicheng Hospital, they had never been treated so coldly! Even if it happened with Zhou Xinyue, no matter how they discussed it behind their backs, they still pretended to be kind.
Seeing Lu Zhixing coming back, Cheng Yuxiang grabbed her son's hand as if she saw a savior: "Zhixing, this is all Shen Subai's revenge! Go and ask Yunshu to say something nice to the Shen family, and make sure your father comes out quickly! He will retire in two years..."
Lu Zhixing sighed, "Mom, it's useless to go to Yunshu about this matter. The city is also following the policy. This anti-corruption campaign was ordered by the Municipal Bureau, not just against Dad. If you haven't committed any crime, you will be released soon."
But the problem is that Lu Jianshe is not innocent. How can a person who puts power first in everything and even uses his daughter-in-law as a springboard to power be a good official!
Shen Subai had no evidence of Lu Jianshe's corruption and bribery, and it was impossible for him to use the power of the Shen family or his uncle's authority to specifically investigate Lu Jianshe, but this did not mean that he would let Lu Jianshe go.
The Lu family could use the Li family to bully Xie Yunshu, and he was just fighting back.
Xie Yunshu didn't care about these things. She started to run "business" these two days. The construction of the telecommunications building was progressing smoothly to the halfway point. In the middle, Party A inspected the work once and paid half of the project payment according to the contract.
The registered capital of Hai'an Construction was only about 10,000 yuan, and the smooth progress of the project paid off, which gave her new confidence to go to the construction site.
However, mid-July is the hottest time. Not to mention running outside, even moving around makes you sweat. Fortunately, Xie Yunshu was born with fair skin, so her skin didn't get tanned much, but she looked thinner.
At dinner time, she went to the canteen kitchen and sat on a stool, gnawing on a chicken leg while looking at the menu. Li Fenlan picked up half a bowl of vegetables for her with concern: "How come you have lost so much weight? Your clothes are too small and there is no fat on your face."
Xie Yunshu touched his face, and thought of Lin Cuiping also losing weight, and suddenly smiled: "Lin Cuiping will be angry when she hears this."
When Lin Cuiping was mentioned, Li Fenlan's face showed no joy. She frowned and said softly, "You have been busy with company affairs these two days, and you don't know that something big happened in the tube building."
Xie Yunshu was startled: "What's the matter?"
Li Fenlan sighed: "The factory director was arrested yesterday. I heard that he embezzled a lot of money. Today, a new notice came down saying that the packaging factory will be restructured and the first thing to do is to lay off employees!"
Although the news had been circulating, the workers were still receiving their wages and going to work. Although they were nervous, they were unwilling to believe it until the last moment.
And now, this knife has finally fallen.
Xie Yunshu immediately had a bad feeling: "Who are you going to lay off?"
Li Fenlan shook her head: "I don't know about the others, but the first one on the list is Cuiping..."
