Chapter 204: Substitution

Xiao Zhimei had no expression on her face, but her hands hanging by her side were clenched tightly.

"I don't! This is my job, why should you give it to someone else?" Finally unable to bear it any longer, Xiao Zhimei shouted loudly.

With a slap, Xiao Zhimei was slapped hard in the face.

"Why? Because I'm your mother-in-law, and you have to listen to me! As expected, my sister is right, you're starting to get wild! What if I really let you go out to work? I think you deserve to be punished! Son, catch her and let her see our family rules!"

…

Shen Xiangdong was waiting for people to report in at the factory office.

There were quite a lot of people reporting today, so he was quite busy. But after being busy for so long, everyone else arrived, but Xiao Zhimei was not there.

"Xiangdong, this man ran into your factory and insisted on breaking in, saying that he was a worker recruited this time. Please identify him." Shen Xiangdong was just about to go to Zeng's house to take a look when the security guard escorted a shifty-looking man into the office.

"Who are you?" Shen Xiangdong was sure that the man in front of him was not on the list of recruits this time, because everyone except Xiao Zhimei had come to work. This man looked unfamiliar, so he was probably not from their team.

"Confess yourself!" The security guard grabbed the man and pushed him forward. However, although the man was like a coward, he kept his head down, as if he wanted to shove his head into his crotch. He didn't say a word and resisted passively.

The security guard kicked the man on the leg, "Open your mouth, you're mute!"

The weakling stammered at this time: "I am really an employee of the factory. I am here to replace my cousin's wife. My cousin's wife is Xiao Zhimei!"

Hearing this, Shen Xiangdong's face darkened. He asked why Xiao Zhimei hadn't come yet, and whether she had been replaced by this weakling? Then why didn't she come to the factory and say, "These positions in the factory are specially provided for educated youth with bad class backgrounds. You come here to take over, do you want the factory to reclassify your class background for you?" Shen Xiangdong's tone was very bad, and he stared at him seriously.

"No, no, no, I don't have such an idea! I don't dare to do it anymore. Leader, please forgive me!" The coward immediately begged for mercy.

Seeing that his knees were so weak that he was about to fall to the ground, the security guard pushed him aside. As a result, he lay on the ground for a long time without getting up.

"Hurry up and get up, go back and inform Xiao Zhimei, and ask her to come over and give me an explanation." Shen Xiangdong signaled the other party to get up quickly.

"But, but..." Softfoot didn't dare to look at Shen Xiangdong's face. He was frightened by what Shen Xiangdong said just now. He couldn't be the same as Xiao Zhimei, that bitch.

"But what?"

"But my aunt locked her up, so she can't come."

"What?" It's a new society now, and there are still people who secretly deprive others of their personal freedom?

After hearing this, Shen Xiangdong could no longer sit still. He had to find Captain Tang and the director of women's affairs and go to Xiao Zhimei's house together.

Zeng Yuanfei's adobe house was very short and the windows were not big. The light in a small room on the north side was particularly dim. Xiao Zhimei had been locked up for half the morning.

Because Xiao Zhimei refused, Old Lady Wu asked Zeng Yuanfei to beat her up and then locked her in a small room, intending to starve her for two days to see if she would still be obedient.

Old Lady Wu and her sister took it for granted that jobs could be easily replaced. Even in the city, if a son wanted to replace his father, he still had to follow procedures and use connections.

Xiao Zhimei's job is an accountant, and her nephew can only write his own name and can't even use an abacus. Can this job be replaced by someone else just like that?

How confusing.

When Shen Xiangbei, Captain Tang and others arrived with their weaklings, Old Lady Wu was still chatting with her sister in the yard.

"You are such an honored guest, come and sit down. Little girl, a guest is coming, why don't you go and get some water?"

She seemed not to notice how grief-stricken Yang Fa's face was, and she was still urging her granddaughter to pour water.

Shen Xiangbei looked around the main room and his eyes fell on the locked wooden door next to the back entrance.

"Captain Tang, Director Shen, you are here to learn about the situation of my son Yang Fa, right? What do you want to ask? Just ask, I will definitely answer you well." Xiao Wu was a skinny old lady, her face was smiling like a chrysanthemum.

She recognized Captain Tang, and Shen Xiangbei was dressed well, so he should be the young factory director her son mentioned. She wouldn't be wrong.

Xiaoya poured water for them all, and the head of the women's department took the initiative to ask, "Where's your mother?"

"Mom, mom--" Xiao Ya subconsciously looked at the locked house, then looked at Old Lady Wu, and was frightened by her fierce eyes.

The director of the women's department frowned and said, "Aunt Wu, why are you looking at the child so fiercely? You scared the little girl."

"This kid is so naughty. He won't learn his lesson unless he's scared."

"Where is the child's mother?"

"The child's mother has gone to work."

"Then why did I hear the team leader say today that Xiao Zhimei didn't go to work at all?"

"Then he must have gone to the back hill to collect firewood."

"So what's locked in this room?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"It's nothing, just some junk there, it's very dirty. Captain Tang, what are you looking at there? There's really nothing to see."

Captain Tang ignored her and walked straight to the room. He looked through the gap in the door and saw that Xiao Zhimei was indeed inside.

"What's going on? Open the door!"

The smile on Old Lady Wu's face disappeared, and she returned to her usual self: "What's going on? The cadres in the brigade are meddling in other people's family affairs?"

She is an old lady who has experienced many battles, so she is not afraid of Captain Tang.

"Is there someone inside?" Shen Xiangbei walked over.

Captain Tang nodded, then said to Old Lady Wu: "You are illegally imprisoning others. This is against the law. Do you know that?"

Old Lady Wu stiffened her neck and said, "My daughter-in-law is disobedient, and you can't even teach her a lesson? This is at most my family's family affair. Even if you are cadres in the brigade, you can't interfere, right?"

"Old lady, I have learned something. I heard that you are still using the feudal methods of oppressing and persecuting your daughter-in-law and trying to restore feudalism. Is this true?" Shen Xiangbei looked at Old Lady Wu.

"No, she is a rebel and I am trying to reform her." Old Lady Wu refused to admit it.

"This is not a reason for you to deprive others of their personal freedom. You are persecuting women," said the director of women's affairs.

Normally, she wouldn't mind such trivial matters, but now that Captain Tang called her out, they had to take care of it even if they didn't want to.

"I didn't!" Old Mrs. Wu refused to admit it no matter how hard she tried.

"Xiao Wu, whose idea was it to let Yang Fa replace Xiao Zhimei to go to work?"

Of course it was Xiao Wu's idea. She definitely wanted her son to go to work. But in this situation, she would never admit it.

"It was my sister's idea. She was afraid that Xiao Zhimei would become unruly after she started working, so she asked my son to take her place..."
