She was caught off guard and fell directly into the middle of the road.
Normally moving vehicles all slammed on their brakes, and even cyclists stopped. The road, which had been unobstructed just a moment ago, suddenly became chaotic and crowded.
"Ye Li, Ye Li, are you okay?" Lin Shanshan pushed through the crowd and rushed to the middle of the road, half squatting down to help Ye Li up.
"Fortunately, I'm fine. It's winter now and I'm wearing thick clothes! If it were summer, I'd probably have lost a lot of skin!" Ye Li said as she supported Lin Shan's hand and was about to stand up from the ground. She felt a piercing pain in her ankle and she froze in place. "My foot seems... seems to be sprained!"
"Don't worry! Let me take a look!"
"Shanshan, let's not block the road, move to the side and watch!"
"Okay!" Lin Shanshan helped Ye Li lili to the side of the road, and did not forget to apologize to the pedestrians on the road, "I'm so sorry for wasting everyone's time!"
Fortunately, the pedestrians on the road saw what happened and no one blamed Ye Li for taking up everyone's precious early morning working time.
Lin Shanshan supported Ye Li until they came to the factory gate and stopped. She squatted down, lifted up Ye Li's trouser legs and took a look. She saw that her ankle was bruised and purple, and it had swollen like a steamed bun in such a short time.
...
...
"Your foot is badly injured. How about I take you to the hospital?"
Ye Li lifted her leg and looked down. Sure enough, her foot was badly swollen. She could feel the pain and the swelling in her shoes. "Okay, accompany me to the hospital. Let's ask our section chief for leave first!"
"Then you just stand here and wait for me. I'll be back soon."
"good."
Lin Shanshan ran into the factory and went straight to the publicity department of the factory office building.
Ye Li was waiting for her there, searching for the person who had pushed her among the crowd.
She didn't see who pushed her, but she heard the voice. It was very familiar, like Yuan Yueqin's.
After the incident of throwing the thermos last night, Ye Li had every reason to believe that it was Yuan Yueqin who pushed her just now. Otherwise, who could be so hateful as to push her to the middle of the road so early in the morning, nearly killing her under the wheels?
"Xiao Ye, are you okay? We just saw you being pushed into the middle of the road from a long distance away. We were so scared! We were afraid that you would be run over by the car!"
"How are you? Look at how swollen your feet are. The sleeves of your clothes are also worn out! Who pushed you? Do you know that person?"
The person who was talking to Ye Li was an operator in the workshop. Ye Li usually went to the workshop to collect materials, conduct interviews, and write articles. Some time ago, Ye Li often followed them in the workshop to learn how to weave cloth, and they became familiar with each other after a few visits.
"Sister Li, that person pushed me from behind. I didn't see her face and I don't know who pushed me!" Ye Li said.
"I saw it!"
"I saw it too! We all saw it!"
"Yes, not only we saw it, but everyone saw it, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes! It was a woman, very pretty, but someone scratched her face. Ouch, her face was scratched so badly that she will probably have a scar from now on! Tsk tsk tsk tsk!"
When Ye Li heard these characteristics, he thought, isn't this exactly Yuan Yueqin?
She had a fight with someone on the bus this morning, pulling her hair and scratching her face. It was very violent. If the conductor and the driver hadn't separated them, her face would probably be in a very terrible state now.
"Sister Li, is that woman wearing a gray woolen coat? Her hair is curled and just reaches her ears.
"Yes! Isn't it her? Do you know her?" Sister Li asked.
"I know them. They are from the same courtyard as us!" Ye Li clenched his fists. "I have some grudges with her. She is taking revenge on me!"
"Oh my, this is horrible. People like this must be reported to the police and arrested. Isn't it normal for everyone living in the same yard to have some conflicts? How big is the hatred? It can actually push you under the wheel! Fortunately nothing happened. If something had happened, what would we do?" Sister Li said indignantly.
“This is murder!”
"Yes, isn't this murder?"
A group of people surrounded Ye Li and all expressed their sympathy for her.
"If I report the case, can you testify for me?" Ye Li asked.
Sister Li was the first to answer loudly: "Yes! Why not! We support you in reporting the case. This kind of person is too hateful. She must be put in jail and re-educated before she can come out!"
Others also responded: "As long as you can use us, we will definitely help you testify!"
"Thank you Sister Li, thank you everyone!"
"Ye Li, I'm back!" Lin Shanshan came back panting and saw a group of female workers in the workshop surrounding Ye Li and talking about something. She thought they were just watching the fun, so she urged them, "It's almost time to go to work, aren't you afraid of being late? Why are you still here watching the fun!"
"Let's go, let's go quickly. We can't let anyone deduct our wages!" Sister Li led a group of people into the gate of the cotton mill in a hurry.
"Ye Li, your foot is more swollen than before. You can't walk with this foot anymore. Let me carry you!" Lin Shanshan squatted down and motioned Ye Li to lie on top. "Don't be polite with me. I can still carry you!"
"Thank you for your hard work, Shanshan." Ye Li's current situation did not allow her to be polite. She could only lie on Lin Shanshan's back and let her carry her to the bus stop.
…
Yuan Yueqin returned to the compound with a calico face. It was almost December and the weather was very cold. There were almost no people in the compound. Everyone stayed in their homes to bask in the sun.
Aunt Mu was sitting on the bed with her feet stretched into the quilt. She was leaning against the bed with her upper body, slowly knitting a woolen scarf for her old man Yuan Sihai. When she heard the sound of the door, she stopped what she was doing and looked up at the door.
When she saw Yuan Yueqin coming back with her face full of scars, her eyes widened instantly, she threw the work in her hands aside, and jumped down from the bed: "Yueqin, Yueqin, what happened to your face? How did it become like this? Did someone bully you? Talk to mom!"
Yuan Yueqin was tense the whole way. When she saw her mother's panicked look, her tears burst out like a river bursting its dam: "Mom! Mom! I'm in trouble!"
