The old lady snorted. "With your brain, you can run in a circle for half a year if someone draws one. I don't know who you look like. Your brain is like that of a primitive man. Go out and take a look. Are there private businesses in state-owned restaurants? Are there private shopping malls in shopping malls that are doing well? You still go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy vegetables, don't you buy them from private individuals? If there is no value, the state-owned enterprises will not go bankrupt. The government is stupid, supporting a bunch of useless people."
"Anyway, I don't think the country will ignore us," Mei continued stubbornly.
"How can we manage it? Should we send you all to the countryside?" The old lady listened to her eldest daughter's silly words and spoke without hesitation.
"Mom, do you have any candied sweet potatoes at home? I want to make candied sweet potatoes, and we don't have enough candied sweet potatoes." Wu Zhiqiu saw the mother and daughter arguing on New Year's Day and quickly changed the subject.
"Yes, I'll get it for you." The old lady said nothing more and went to look for the candy.
This situation is common in many places. No one can accept the loss of their decent, iron rice bowl, and they will choose to believe what they want to hear.
At this moment, the phone rang rapidly.
The third brother stood up with gritted teeth and said, "Someone is looking for me. I'll go answer the phone first." He didn't know who that person was, but in order to save him from the dire situation, he had to answer the phone for a while.
The old man looked at the mobile phone in the third brother's hand with dead eyes.
The third brother saw the old man's familiar eyes, quickly turned his back and answered the phone, "Hello, who is this?"
"Boss! No, the factory is on fire!"
"It's on fire? Where is it on fire?" The third brother screamed, and everyone's eyes were on him.
"It's the warehouse of the garment factory. It's on fire now. There are few people in the factory, so it's impossible to put out the fire." The night watchman opposite was on duty, and his tone was full of fear.
"Call the fire department quickly, I'll be there right away!" The third brother shouted, hung up the phone, turned around and ran.
The people in the room quickly followed.
"Report the fire alarm again!" the old man shouted anxiously.
Mancang nodded quickly and said, "Hey, I'll report it right away."
When the women heard the news, they rushed out and anxiously took a taxi to the third factory.
When the third brother and his friends arrived, the factory was filled with black smoke. The fire alarm had arrived and they were trying to put out the fire, so they were stopped outside.
"Boss, Boss, you are here!" Several security guards were covered in black, with holes in their cotton jackets burned all over. It seemed that they were there to put out a fire.
"What happened? Why did it catch fire?" The factory doesn't allow the use of open flames, and it's a holiday, so how could there be a fire?
"Boss, someone set the fire. We wanted to have the New Year's Eve dinner earlier today, so we came here to patrol. We saw someone jumping out of the courtyard wall. We thought it was a thief, so we quickly chased after him. We didn't expect that person to be setting the fire."
"Has that man been caught?" the third brother asked quickly.
Several security guards shook their heads. They wanted to chase the thief, but when they saw the warehouse was on fire, they rushed to put out the fire, allowing the thief to escape.
"Let's report it to the police and let them help investigate." Looking at the contained fire, Mancang knew that the loss would definitely be huge.
"We sold it before the New Year, so there aren't many stocks left in the warehouse. You don't have to worry." The third brother's hands were shaking as he made the phone call, but he still tried to comfort his family.
