Chapter 126
"Thank you, Chairman Qin." Xia Qingtang thanked him and returned to the large office with his notebook.
As expected, as soon as they walked in, Li Yue asked curiously, "Xiao Xia, why did Chairman Qin call you over on your first day at work? What confidential work did he ask you to do?"
Xia Qingtang smiled and said, "It's not about work. It's my first day at work and there's not much to do anyway."
"Then what did Chairman Qin ask you to do? To chat?"
"She came to me to ask about some personal matters and wanted me to do her a small favor." Xia Qingtang smiled.
Li Yue immediately understood and said, "Is that so? Well, you are lucky to have married such a good family. Even your boss wants you for help. You must have a bright future."
Xia Qingtang put both notebooks into the drawer, and then said, "The future still depends on your ability. Only with ability can you have a good future."
"You're right. Only those with ability can have a good future. At least Xiao Xia relied on her own ability to work as a clerk in the office." Wu Feng said: "If she has a good future in the future, it must be because of her own ability."
Li Yue curled her lips: "You are the only one who can talk, and you are the only one who can help. If you don't know, you would think you want to please Xiao Xia."
Wu Feng said, "It's normal even if I want to please her. Look, last time you went to Xiao Xia's wife to buy a train ticket, she immediately bought you a sleeper berth. With such a relationship, who can I please if I don't please her? If I need to buy a train ticket when I return home, I will go to Xiao Xia first. Isn't that a safe thing to do?"
Everyone laughed at this, and Xia Qingtang said, "These little things will definitely be no problem. If you want to buy something, as long as my wife can do it, I should be able to buy it for you."
These colleagues are usually nice to her, so it is not difficult for her to return the favor and help them when they need help.
After that, everyone chatted and laughed and soon got off work.
Xia Qingtang put the notebook Chairman Qin gave her into her cross-body bag, and then went out with her colleagues.
Today is Xie Jinxuan's first day of school, and as the class monitor she has a lot of things to do, so Xia Qingtang returned home and found the small courtyard quiet and no one was at home.
There were still some vegetables in the kitchen. Xia Qingtang calmly washed a few potatoes, cut half a cabbage, soaked vermicelli in boiling water, added a little bit of bacon, and made a pot of stew, and also steamed a pot of rice.
Everything was ready and Xie Jinxuan just happened to return home.
Xia Qingtang went out to greet him: "Why are you so late today?"
Xie Jinxuan smiled and said, "It's a new semester, and the school has added a lot of new activities. After school, the head teacher kept us class leaders and held a small meeting. He wanted us to brainstorm and think about what other entertainment activities we can do together, so as to enrich the daily life of college students."
"So what activities have you thought of?"
"Everyone was talking about the same old stuff, like tug-of-war, rope skipping, mountain climbing, or a tea party, which was boring." Xie Jinxuan said, "I did propose an activity. I said our class could hold a singing and dancing competition, and I saw that several class leaders were quite interested. But the teacher said that such a competition needs to be reported to the school, and it can only be carried out if the school approves it."
Singing is not so bad, in this era, the only songs that students dare to sing are positive songs. As for dancing, except for the art troupe, it seems that no school dares to let students organize such a competition themselves. If something weird is created, the school leaders are afraid of getting into trouble.
"It's already 1980, I think the school will approve it. At least, the singing competition can go on." Xia Qingtang said with a smile: "You're back just in time, dinner is ready, come in and eat."
Xie Jinxuan put her backpack away, took off her coat and went to wash her hands.
Xia Qingtang put a pot of stew and a pot of rice on the table, and dinner officially began.
Although the ingredients for the stew were simple, Xia Qingtang's cooking skills were very good. Xie Jinxuan ate three large bowls of it while it was still hot and served with rice. Her appetite was much better than during the Chinese New Year.
Xia Qingtang said: "There is still rice in the pot, can you add some more?"
Xie Jinxuan smiled and shook her head: "I'm full. This is much more than what I usually eat at night. Your cooking tastes so good. I'm always worried that I'll gain weight if I eat too much."
"It's okay to be fat. You are so thin and slim, it's a good thing to gain some weight." Xia Qingtang grinned.
But in fact, Xie Jinxuan is not thin at all. He has muscles all over his body, and the muscles are very tight. They look good and powerful.
Moreover, he goes for morning exercise every morning and has been doing long-distance running for many years. A person like this will never become fat even if he eats a lot.
Xie Jinxuan said: "Then I will try my best to gain some weight and make myself look fatter."
"So what do you want to eat tomorrow night? I'll make it for you."
"Anything is fine. I love anything you cook." Xie Jinxuan stood up and started to clean up the dishes.
"We can add water to the leftover rice and cook it into porridge tomorrow morning. We can buy two coarse flour steamed buns and have them as breakfast." Xia Qingtang picked up the water cup and took a sip, then said, "By the way, there is something I want to tell you."
"What is it?"
Xia Qingtang repeated everything that Chairman Qin said when he called her to his office.
After listening to what Xie Jinxuan said, "Do you really want to go? If you don't want to go, I can find a way to help you refuse."
"Actually, it doesn't make much sense for me to work anywhere right now. I see Chairman Qin really wants me to go there, and the city seems to be really short of manpower. Since it's already like this, it's no big deal for me to go over and help out. If I'm really unhappy working there, I can still go back in half a year, so it's no big deal if I think about it this way."
"That makes sense. There is always a way out. You can try it first. If you are not happy, it will be the same if you return to the cotton mill later."
"So I will prepare well this week, remember the information Chairman Qin gave me, and then go for the so-called interview next week. I want to see how those foreigners select people, and whether they will eliminate me." Xia Qingtang said.
Xie Jinxuan said, "You will definitely be kept. When foreign guests came here before, they liked you very much. Now you have more work experience than before, and your foreign language level is better than before. How can they not keep you? You will definitely win this time."
"That's what we said, but we still have to be modest." Xia Qingtang laughed, "Okay, hurry up and pack up. I'm going to get some water to take a shower. After I'm done, I'll review my books."
"Just in time to come with me."
So, the two young people sat in the living room to study together in the evening.
Xia Qingtang looked through the information that Chairman Qin gave her. There was nothing special in it. It was just some basic knowledge about the electrical appliance factory.
Although she has never worked in an electrical appliance factory and doesn't know much about electrical appliances, anyone who can speak Chinese can understand these basic knowledge.
The next day at noon, Xia Qingtang went to the provincial university to start the first English class of the new year.
Guan Chenxiang and Guan Jueming had a particularly good winter vacation this year. Xiaojun came here and lived for a long time. He was sent back two days before the New Year. After the fifth day of the New Year, Xiaojun came here again and stayed until the day before school started before returning to his mother.
With the child back, there was hope for the family. Guan Chenxiang looked better and was always smiling. She was a completely different person from when Xia Qingtang first met her.
Before class, Xia Qingtang told Guan Chenxiang that he was going to have an interview at the new electrical appliance factory.
Guan Chenxiang was very happy. She said, "Since you have learned English, you can now use it in practice. I think this is a very good thing. As your teacher, I am also very happy."
Xia Qingtang said: "But if I go to work there, it will be too far from here, and I'm afraid I won't have time to come to class at noon."
"It's okay. You've already learned it very well. You can learn the rest of the content well by yourself with a dictionary. We can change the class time to evening or Sunday. Originally, you had to reduce one English class this semester, but I'm not in a hurry. You can first schedule your archaeology course with Teacher Xu over there. Once you've scheduled it, I'll help you adjust the class time according to the time there."
After all, Guan Chenxiang is more familiar with Xia Xia Qingtang, and Xie Jinxuan is their housekeeper's benefactor, so as long as Xia Qingtang makes a request, Guan Chenxiang will agree to it.
Xu Zhenhua is a very serious and responsible person. After listening to Xia Qingtang's request, he took the time to compile a set of handouts suitable for teaching Xia Qingtang. He also set a time. Starting from this semester, he will take Xia Qingtang to a course on antique identification every week.
They had already agreed on this during the Chinese New Year, but Xu Zhenhua still had to look at some arrangements after his classes started, so the final class time for Xia Qingtang has not yet been confirmed.
But according to him, his classes will be very long in the future, and one class may last two or three hours, so Xia Qingtang can only go to class after work on Saturday afternoon, or only have time on Sunday morning or afternoon.
Thinking of this, Xia Qingtang couldn't help but sigh.
"Why are you sighing for no reason?" Guan Chenxiang asked with a smile.
Xia Qingtang said: "I just feel that I will be too busy later. Why should I push myself like this?"
Guan Chenxiang couldn't help laughing. She reached out and patted Xia Qingtang on the shoulder, saying, "Because you are still young. You are only 22 years old this year, which is the best age. At this age, you should study hard, no matter what you study. Even if it is a course or a craft, as long as you study it seriously, it will definitely bring a lot of help to your life in the future. If you don't study hard when you are young, you will regret it when you are older. The times are moving forward, and our steps cannot stop. I can foresee that in the next ten years, there will be very significant changes."
Xia Qingtang nodded and regained his spirits: "Teacher Chenxiang is right! I will study hard while I am young. Don't worry, I will never embarrass you, teacher!"
"Okay, let's start today's class now. First, I want to check whether you have studied hard during this winter vacation." Guan Chenxiang opened the textbook.
After Xia Qingtang finished his English class seriously, he rode his bike back to the cotton mill to continue working.
During the first week of each new year, the cotton mill is not particularly busy, the union does not have as much work to do, and everyone has more time to chat and laugh.
Li Yue was the most talkative one. Whenever she had free time, she would talk about her trip with her lover and tell them everything she had seen and heard along the way.
After listening to her travel stories, her colleagues were quite envious.
Wu Feng said, "That's great. If I had known earlier, I should have gone traveling with my wife. You can go out and see the sights and the world. Unlike us, we stay at home all day during the New Year and don't know what to do. If I go out to play cards with them, I'm afraid I'll be arrested."
"Yes, we caught a lot of people playing cards during the Chinese New Year this year," said Zhang Ning.
Li Yue said, "I also heard after I came back that many of my relatives were arrested for playing cards. Oh, I don't understand. You say they play cards, so why do they have to make money? Is money so easy to make? I can't bear to spend money playing cards. I have a relative who lost dozens of yuan during the Chinese New Year! With that money, why not buy something else?"
Wu Feng said, "Hey, you are a lesbian, you may not understand, playing cards is boring if you don't make money. Only when you make money can we continue to play one round after another. Playing cards itself is boring, but making money is interesting, which is more exciting."
“But if you take the money, you’ll be arrested.” Li Yue rolled her eyes.
"Yes, that's why I don't dare to play cards. However, too many people were arrested this year. It seems that the superiors gave a word and only criticized those people verbally and then released them. They were not imprisoned, and the unit did not report the criticism, and they did not record any demerits. I think that they may be released in the future and let everyone play as hard as they can." Wu Feng said.
Feng Xinhui said, "I don't think so. Gambling is not a good thing. The higher-ups probably took into consideration that everyone is bored and there are no entertainment activities during the Chinese New Year, so they were lenient. Now that everyone is back to work, they are not so relaxed. If there are still people gambling together, as long as one is caught, he will definitely stay in jail for more than ten days like before."
"Really? Then I have to tell my relatives right away and remind them not to gamble all the time after work, and find some meaningful activities to enjoy." Wu Feng said.
Li Yue said: "What are meaningful activities? I can take care of children every day, but I don't have much time to play. Those of you who don't have to take care of children, tell me, what do you do when you are not at work?"
Feng Xinhui said: "What else can I do? I go home to cook after work in the evening, wash the dishes after dinner, and then take a shower and wash clothes. That's about it. At most, I listen to the radio and chat with my family for a while. As for Sundays, I have to do a thorough cleaning, dry and wash quilts, and occasionally go to the park, that's it."
Zhang Ning also said: "As for me, I like to play chess with others. After dinner, I usually put down my bowl and go out to play chess. After an hour or two, I go home to wash up and go to bed. On Sundays, I will go fishing with them, which is also fun."
"What about Xiaoxia? What do you do when you are not at work?" Li Yue asked.
Xia Qingtang said: "For me, I take a walk, listen to the radio or read a book in the evening. I do the same thing on Sundays, or go to the movies and visit the park."
These are the daily pastimes of ordinary people in this era. They sound really boring, but the two-day weekend was not implemented at that time, and people had to work six days a week. People's lives were still basically centered on work.
"It seems that even if she marries into a good family, what she does on a daily basis will be similar to what we do, which is quite boring." Li Yue said.
Xia Qingtang nodded repeatedly. In this era where there is almost no entertainment activities, everyone is essentially the same.
But things were different a few years later. Commercial housing became available in the late 1980s, and the rich suddenly had more options for entertainment. The gap between people became very obvious.
Feng Xinhui smiled and said, "Xiao Li, you must have heard it wrong. Xiao Xia is different from us."
"What's the difference?" Li Yue didn't understand.
"Xiao Xia is the only person in our office who reads when she's not at work."
Feng Xinhui's words made everyone stunned. After a while, Li Yue said, "It's true. Xiao Xia actually reads after work!"
Wu Feng smiled and said, "So Xiao Xia is getting better and better! Reading and studying really helps people improve!"
Li Yue said: "What kind of progress? Can Xiao Xia really become a factory manager in the future?"
Xia Qingtang quickly said, "I only graduated from high school. The future will be dominated by college students. The factory director will definitely be someone who has graduated from college."
Li Yue was very happy with this. She nodded repeatedly and said, "That's right, that's right. The world will be dominated by college students in the future. If you ask me, you don't know what book Xiao Xia is reading. If she really loves learning and progress, why doesn't she go to college?"
Xia Qingtang said: "Secretary Li is right. I usually read mostly novels. If I were asked to read textbooks, I wouldn't have that much energy."
This made everyone laugh, and the office was filled with joy.
When Xia Qingtang got home from get off work that evening and was preparing dinner, her grandmother and Sixth Aunt suddenly came over.
Xie Jinxuan opened the door and welcomed them in: "Grandma, Sixth Aunt, why are you here?"
"Qingtang, we will be able to watch a play soon!" Grandma said excitedly.
"Really? When can I go and see it? Where?" Xia Qingtang immediately ran out of the kitchen, his hands still covered in paste.
"They said that they have arranged several different places for the show. Some people can buy tickets to go to different theaters, and some people have specially arranged to build a new stage in the square. There will be one show each morning and afternoon on Sunday. Anyone who wants to watch can go and watch it. It will start from this Sunday morning!" Grandma said, "I heard that those who buy tickets will have to wait for a while, after all, the theater also has to arrange a time to sell tickets. The square is better, we can go to listen to the show on Sunday."
"This is really great! Grandpa does things so quickly. I didn't expect that what he just said has already been implemented." Xia Qingtang said.
"It's mainly because the actors who sing operas can't stand it any longer. They've been practicing for so long but can't find any opportunities to sing for everyone. I heard that after they became popular, they all practiced very hard. Some of them have lost their voices, but those who haven't lost their voices are rubbing their hands and waiting for this good opportunity. They practiced so hard, isn't it just to perform on stage for everyone to see?"
Aunt Six said, "I've rarely listened to operas, but the old lady always said that operas are very good. When the time comes, I'll go and see them. The square is very close to us. After breakfast in the morning, I'll hang out the clothes and take a stool to the square to wait."
Xie Jinxuan said: "Can the stage be set up so quickly?"
Grandma said, "It should be a simple stage, which is very easy to build. When I was a child, I went to the market with the elders in my family. There was a temporary stage in the market, which could be set up the night in advance. The stage was very high and could be seen from a long distance. The famous opera actors wore colorful clothes and sang babbling songs on it. I still remember that scene... I never thought that after so many years, I am old and can still see such a scene." Grandma said with a fascinated look on her face.
She had a good life when she was a child and young, and for her, some things are deeply ingrained in her bones and she will never forget them no matter how old she is.
Xia Qingtang was also looking forward to it after hearing this: "Then let's get ready early on Sunday morning and go take a look together."
Because of the anticipation, this week passed particularly quickly and Sunday morning arrived soon.
Xia Qingtang changed her habit of staying in bed on weekends and got up early. After washing up, she gave herself a nice hairstyle and picked out a set of brighter clothes to put on.
After finishing all this, Xie Jinxuan invited her to have breakfast: "I bought fried cakes and soy milk. I added sugar to the soy milk. See if it's sweet enough."
Xia Qingtang cheered and walked to the table and sat down: "Fried cakes are not easy to buy, you must have gone very early?"
"It's OK. I asked Master Zhong to save some fried cakes for me. They were fried not long ago. Try them. They should still be crispy."
The fried cakes are really delicious, fragrant and crispy when you bite them. There are two kinds of fillings inside, one with brown sugar and sesame, and the other with pickled vegetables and thousand sheets. They are all delicious, and the soy milk is also sweet.
After finishing the oil cake and soy milk in one breath, Xia Qingtang was worried that the greasy food would be difficult to digest, so he made a cup of green tea and put it in the thermos, and then went out with Xie Jinxuan.
Grandma had already made preparations. Xie Jinyun did not do his homework this morning. He dressed himself up and prepared to go out to watch a play with everyone.
Mother Xie was not very interested in opera, but seeing that the whole family was so excited, she dressed up a little, changed into some smart clothes, and went out with everyone.
The square was very close to here, and the whole family walked over there slowly. Sure enough, they saw a very simple stage built in a corner of the square. It was made of bamboo and wooden boards, and there was a tarpaulin roof on it. It looked quite sturdy.
It was still early, so the stage was still empty. There was a small shed next to it, also made of bamboo and oilcloth. According to my grandmother, this was the backstage for the actors to put on makeup and prepare.
Although it was just past eight o'clock, there were already quite a few people playing and strolling around in the square.
This brand new stage naturally attracted everyone's attention, and many people gathered here to discuss what it was used for.
The first performance started at nine o'clock. Since it was still early, grandma asked the young people to move around nearby while she and Aunt Six sat here waiting.
Mother Xie said, "I am too lazy to walk around, so I will just sit here and wait."
Xie Jinyun said: "I want to buy some candied haws."
"Okay, let's go buy it with you." Xia Qingtang said, and she and Xie Jinxuan accompanied Xie Jinyun to buy candied haws over there.
After they left, people wandering around saw Grandma and the other two sitting in front of the stage, and someone curiously asked, "Comrades, what are you doing sitting here?"
Grandma smiled and said, "There will be opera performances here in a while. Let's sit here and wait."
"Singing? Really?"
"real."
"Well, I'll wait here too."
No one knew who spread the news, but soon the area in front of the stage was filled with people.
Xia Qingtang looked at this place from afar and said, "There are already many people gathered over there. We may not be able to squeeze in later."
Xie Jinyun smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if I can't squeeze in. My classmates said that I can't understand the opera. I plan to listen for a while and then go back to do my homework."
"Do you have the key?" Xie Jinxuan asked.
"I brought some." Xie Jinyun bought two strings of candied haws and handed one to Xia Qingtang, "Sister-in-law, you have some too."
"Thank you, Xiaoyun." Xia Qingtang took the candied haws with a smile.
Xie Jinxuan said: "Why did you only buy one for your sister-in-law? Why didn't you buy one for me too?"
"But, brother, don't you dislike eating candied haws?"
"If you bought it, I would be willing to eat it." Xie Jinxuan said deliberately.
"Then I'll buy you one. I have quite a bit of New Year's money anyway." Xie Jinyun turned around and went back to buy another string for Xie Jinxuan.
The Chinese New Year has just passed, and the children have a lot of lucky money in their hands, so they spend money generously.
The three of them were holding candied haws and eating as they walked back. After they had walked a few steps, they heard a commotion coming from over there. A lot of people gathered there, and it seemed that someone was fighting in the crowd.
It was a rare opportunity for Xie Jinyun to go out and play, so she went over to join in the fun out of curiosity.
Xia Qingtang and Xie Jinxuan followed him. Before they reached the outside of the crowd, they heard someone inside yelling, "You shameless vixen, you dare to steal my man? I'll scratch your face and see if you dare to steal my man again!"
Upon hearing about this kind of thing, Xia Qingtang lost interest. Just when she was about to turn around and leave, a crying and begging voice was heard from inside. It was an acquaintance.
"Why did you hit me? It was obviously your man who forced me to do something! He also told me that his wife had died a long time ago. How did I know you were in the countryside? He was the one who lied first. Why didn't you deal with your man? You just came to bully me? You are not young anymore. Don't you know what kind of person your man is? Don't try to put all the blame on me. It's your own man who is rotten, not me! I tell you, I still want justice! He clearly said that his wife was dead, so how come you are alive again? Your man is a big liar!" This was clearly Kong Liangjing's voice.
Xia Qingtang heard that Kong Liangjing moved to Dou Wu's house and became one of his many women after her parents and brother were arrested. Dou Wu was also arrested a while ago, and his house was taken away by the authorities. Kong Liangjing had no place to live, so she found a new man and relied on him to support her.
Although she is not beautiful, she is young after all, and she has not suffered any hardship over the years, so she has fair skin and tender flesh, and it is relatively easy for her to find someone to support her.
From what he said, she was probably deceived, and now the man’s wife came from the country and caught her.
Xia Qingtang glanced towards the center of the crowd and saw a lesbian in her fifties struggling with Kong Liangjing. The two of them were grabbing each other's clothes and neither of them was willing to let go. It seemed difficult to tell the winner.
The crowd watching the fight looked very excited, and some even shouted, "Keep fighting, why don't you fight anymore?"
Some older female comrades also advised: "Stop fighting. It sounds like both of you have been deceived by the man. The man is wrong. Stop fighting."
"What man is wrong? How could my man be wrong? He told me that he was seduced by this vixen! My man is fifty years old, and this vixen is only in her twenties. What good girl would be with a man so old at such a young age?" The female comrade argued confidently.
Kong Liangjing cursed: "Enough of that, old woman! If you don't believe it, you can go ask Ma Daquan's neighbors. He said it himself that his wife had died a long time ago, so I agreed to be with him! Otherwise, I'm so young, who can I find someone else to marry? Why would I be with an old man? Why don't you dare to ask the neighbors? I know, you are afraid, you are afraid that Ma Daquan will really tell everyone that you are dead! You are such a useless woman!"
"Shut up! I'm going to tear your mouth and cut your face! It's all your fault. You seduced my man!" The lesbian was obviously hit in her soft spot and became even angrier.
Although she was not tall, she looked like someone who worked all year round, so she was very strong. This time, in her rage, the fierce struggle between them was quickly decided, and Kong Liangjing was pinned to the ground and beaten to death by her.
She really didn't care about her life when she beat people. Although she didn't have many fingernails, she scratched Kong Liangjing's face fiercely. The corner of her mouth was soon torn by her, and blood flowed down her cheeks, which was really scary to watch.
"Stop fighting, really stop fighting, someone might die!" The older aunt was kinder and stepped forward to help break up the fight.
Although Xie Jinyun was young, he was also very kind. He whispered in the crowd, "Fighting is wrong. Hurry up and break them up. If someone dies, won't you be unlucky if you see it?"
These words made the onlookers jump up, so a few strong sisters walked over and everyone worked together to pull the female comrade away.
At this time, Kong Liangjing's face was unbearable to look at. It was covered with blood marks from being scratched. The mottled face was very horrifying, especially the torn corner of his mouth, which was bleeding more and more...
Xia Qingtang had never seen Kong Liangjing in such a miserable state. Seeing her now, he did not feel particularly angry. He just thought in his heart: People really should not do bad things...
Someone shouted, "What should we do? It doesn't look good. The blood isn't flowing normally!"
“Send him to the hospital!”
"Who sent it? This woman is a vixen! I don't want to get into trouble!"
"That's right. I don't want to go either. Who will pay for the medical expenses in the future?"
No one wanted to send Kong Liangjing to the hospital, for fear of getting themselves into trouble.
Xie Jinyun shouted: "You can call the police and ask them to send him over!"
"Then go call the police!"
Xie Jinyun turned and ran, Xia Qingtang quickly pushed Xie Jinxuan and said, "You go with him!"
The two brothers ran away, and the female comrade here was still screaming loudly: "Let me beat this vixen to death! I have been married to my man for more than 30 years, more than 30 years! She ruined it all!"
Someone in the crowd laughed and said, "Why would a young girl like your man? You make it sound like this girl raped your man. Look, she can't even beat you, how could your man be forced by her? Don't fool yourself, your man is not a good guy, why don't you just beat him up?"
"Who? Who is speaking for that slutty fox? Who?"
There was no response from the crowd. The person who had shouted earlier shrank his head and hid.
"Who is it?" The female comrade wanted to go crazy, but was held down by several older sisters.
Kong Liangjing, who was lying on the ground, regained some consciousness at this moment. She murmured, "I'm going to sue you... I'm going to sue you..."
In the chaos, Xie Jinxuan and his brother came over with two policemen.
There was going to be a play in the square today, so nearby police were arranged in advance to patrol the area, so they encountered the police not long after they ran.
When the police arrived, they saw Kong Liangjing lying on the ground and looked a little scary, so they quickly asked one of them to take Kong Liangjing to the hospital, and the remaining one dealt with the female comrade who was held down.
After Kong Liangjing was carried away by the enthusiastic crowd, the female comrade calmed down. When the police asked her questions, she answered quite normally, without any trace of the crazy look she had just shown.
"You beat him up like that, you have to come to the police station with us." The police said this after questioning.
The female comrade's legs immediately went limp: "What? You want to arrest me?"
"You were the first to start a fight."
"She slept with my man!"
"You were the first to hit someone, and you hit him here, which has caused a very bad impact."
"How could you be like this, a policeman? You actually helped that vixen? In our village, vixens are hated by everyone! She slept with my man, and all the women in our village would help me beat her up. Even if she was beaten to death, it would be her fault!"
This statement is a bit scary, so some people said: "But your husband is wrong in this matter. If it is really your husband who cheated on her, how should this be handled?"
"My man won't lie! It's that vixen who's bad!"
"Comrade police, I think we should bring her husband to the station as well and interrogate him. The girl who was sent to the hospital just now said that she was cheated by a man." said the enthusiastic citizen.
The police said: "Okay, you come with me to the police station first, and I will notify your family later."
"I won't go, I won't go! Don't even think about causing trouble for my man. He's a cadre, he won't lie!" The female comrade sat on the ground and started to act like a spoiled brat.
The police officer couldn't solve the problem by himself, so he looked at Xie Jinxuan for help: "Comrade, can you come to our station? Call two more people over."
"Okay, I know the way, I'll go now." Xie Jinxuan glanced at Xia Qingtang, turned around and ran away.
Xie Jinyun stood beside Xia Qingtang and whispered, "Sister-in-law, no one will die, right?"
"No, the person has been sent to the hospital. It's just a minor injury. The doctor will cure her."
But there will definitely be scars left behind. Kong Liangjing, who was carried away just now, passed in front of Xia Qingtang. She clearly saw the scratches on his face and the deep cut at the corner of his mouth. Even if it was healed, there would definitely be scars left.
With the scar, Kong Liangjing could no longer rely on a man to support her...
Xie Jinyun was still young and didn't know what the scar issue was. When he heard Xia Qingtang say that the doctor would cure the man, he felt relieved and said happily, "Sister-in-law, did I do a good deed today?"

The crowd began to get lively, and everyone looked up at the stage expectantly.
The person who came on stage was a lesbian in her thirties, with regular features and a gentle temperament. She looked like an intellectual and also like an artist. Anyway, she had a very bookish air.
Grandma whispered, "Ah, this is Qian Fang, the famous actress from the past!"
