Chapter 223 Big Brother Was Fired
Who will come at this time?
There aren't many entertainment programs in the countryside at this time of night, and most people go to bed early after dinner.
Some families like hers who have TVs are reluctant to waste electricity and at most watch it for a short while, not too late.
Basically, every household turns off the lights and goes to bed before 8 o'clock in the evening.
If this schedule were put into modern times, it would be truly enviable.
"Mom, I'm full. Please sit down and I'll go see who it is."
When Su Xiaoxiao saw Liu Cuilan was about to get up, she hurriedly stood up first.
She trotted to the gate and shouted outside, "Who is it?"
A familiar male voice soon came from outside: "Third sister, it's me."
Su Xiaoxiao never expected that it was the voice of her elder brother Su Wenbing.
But...it's the weekend, why did my brother suddenly come back?
She didn't have time to think and hurriedly opened the gate.
I saw Su Wenbing standing at the door carrying a big bag and holding a package in his hand.
Normally, when Su Wenbing came back, he would at most bring back some clothes, but why did he bring back bedding as well?
Looking at him again, he was pale, his lips were chapped and peeling, there were faint dark circles under his eyelids, and he looked listless.
Su Xiaoxiao's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Could something have happened?
She hurriedly took the bag from Su Wenbing's hand and shouted into the house: "Mom, my eldest brother is back."
In the room, Liu Cuilan heard the sound, dropped her chopsticks and ran out in a hurry.
Seeing Su Wenbing like this, I felt something was wrong.
"Boss, why are you back now? What happened?"
When he saw his biological mother, Su Wenbing, a grown man, suddenly had red eyes.
Liu Cuilan hurriedly let the man into the house and poured him a full enamel jar of sugar water.
Su Wenbing picked up the enamel pot and gulped down a cup of water before wiping his mouth: "Mom, I lost my job." "What happened? How could I lose my job when I was doing well?"
Liu Cuilan hurriedly poured him another glass of water and asked.
Su Wenbing paused for a moment before answering, "A few days ago, a batch of steel was lost from our factory. I was the last one to leave that day, but I remember clearly that the steel was still there when I locked the door."
After Su Wenbing finished speaking, he began to doubt himself again: "Could it be that the lock is broken and I didn't notice it?"
Su Xiaoxiao thought to herself that her brother had always been cautious and would definitely not make such a mistake. It was probably someone trying to frame him.
He immediately asked, "Brother, have you reported this to the police?"
"No, the workshop director determined that I stole it and fired me directly..."
Instead of rushing to find the lost item, they fired the person directly. It would be strange if there is nothing fishy about this.
"It's all my fault. I should have checked twice before leaving."
Su Wenbing still felt a little guilty, wondering if he had checked more at that time, the problem might have been avoided.
"Brother, let's do this. Tomorrow I'll go with you to the Municipal Public Security Bureau to report the case. We'll know whose fault it is only after we investigate. If it's our fault, we'll take responsibility. If it's not, we can't just sit there and suffer in silence."
"Third sister, is this okay? Should I call the factory first?"
Su Wenbing is an honest man and the first thing he thinks about is the factory.
Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but roll her eyes. Her elder brother was good in every way except that he was too straightforward.
In this kind of situation, instead of conducting a surprise attack and directly notifying the person, the real thief would have already disposed of the evidence by then.
Now that the eldest brother has been directly fired, the other party thinks that the matter is over and may be careless and fail to deal with the evidence, which gives them an opportunity to take advantage.
She said, "Brother, listen to me. We'll just bring the police to the door. What if you notify the factory in advance and the real thief runs away?"
Su Wenbing thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case. Why didn't he think of it?
I was so focused on explaining to my family about losing my job that I didn't even think about finding the thief and clearing my name.
While the two were talking, Liu Cuilan had already gone to the kitchen to cook a large bowl of noodles and brought it over, with a golden fried egg on top.
It's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and looks delicious.
Su Wenbing had been feeling uneasy these past few days, unable to eat or sleep well. But after hearing what his third sister said, he suddenly felt reassured.
Smelling the aroma of noodles floating in the air, I finally felt hungry.
He immediately picked up the bowl and started slurping the noodles.
After the family finished their meal, Su Wenbing was still a little worried: "Third sister, do you think it would be bad if I took the police directly to the factory without telling the director?"
Su Xiaoxiao stood on tiptoe and patted his shoulder: "Brother, don't worry. If the thief is found, the director will be grateful to you. How could he blame you? This is to recover the losses of the factory."
When Su Wenbing thought about it, he realized that this was indeed the case, and he immediately felt much more relieved.
Only then did I go back to my room and sleep with peace of mind.
Su Xiaoxiao was lying on the kang, holding the watch Song Weidong had given her today above her head and looking at it again and again. How should she repay such a big favor?
The next morning, Su Xiaoxiao first went to the department store to ask for leave, and then took Su Wenbing to the Municipal Public Security Bureau to report the case.
The person who received them was a middle-aged male police officer. After listening to what they had said, he immediately said, "Okay, I will go with you to the factory to investigate now."
He called a young policeman and the four of them went straight to the city steel plant.
The steel plant is located in the suburbs, and she remembers it was her first time visiting her eldest brother's workplace.
From a distance, the scale of this factory is quite large.
When he reached the door, the old man at the door recognized Su Wenbing at a glance and frowned, "What are you doing here? Weren't you fired from the factory?"
The old man spoke in a bad tone, and his tone was very bad towards the man who was said to have stolen steel from the factory.
So much so that his originally polite attitude towards Su Wenbing suddenly became harsh.
Su Xiaoxiao stepped forward and stuffed two cigarettes into the old man's hand. "Uncle, here's what happened. My brother was wrongly accused. He didn't steal anything at all. This time we're here to catch the real thief. If you don't believe me, you can ask the police comrades behind us."
The old man looked back and unexpectedly saw two police officers in uniform. He immediately believed Su Xiaoxiao's words and his expression relaxed.
He quietly put the cigarette into his pocket and said, "I was wondering, Comrade Su usually seems quite honest and capable, how could he do something like this?"
Because he felt obligated to do something for the other person, and because he had a good impression of Su Wenbing, the old man let a few people in.
"Brother, where is your factory director's office? Let's go directly to the factory director."
Su Xiaoxiao suddenly said.
Su Wenbing was still a little confused: "Aren't you looking for the workshop director?"
Su Xiaoxiao thought to herself, maybe the director is in cahoots with the thieves, what's the point of looking for him?
Su Wenbing scratched his head and looked at the two public security comrades behind him. Seeing them nod, he took the three of them directly to the factory director's office.
As soon as a few people arrived at the door of the factory director's office, they heard voices coming from inside.
