Wei Hua and his wife didn't have much time to deal with the two girls. They only helped them because they were still children. The mistakes adults made shouldn't affect the children.
The two women had eaten and drunk their fill, but Qin Huairu in the hospital kept wailing. The sound frightened Jia Zhangshi and Bang Geng, but they were mostly worried.
The Jia family only has this one able-bodied person left. If something happens to Qin Huairu, they really don't know what they will do in the future.
At this point, Madam Jia finally became a good mother-in-law, at least showing concern for Qin Huairu's situation. She stayed by Qin Huairu's side, constantly comforting her.
If Jia Zhangshi had shown concern for Qin Huairu when she herself was also suffering, Qin Huairu probably wouldn't have harbored any disloyalty.
Qin Huairu screamed in the hospital for over a day, only stopping on the second night when she couldn't take it anymore. On the third day, Qin Huairu stopped screaming, but she would still cry from time to time.
Whenever she thinks about how her appearance has been ruined, Qin Huairu can't help but cry. Qin Huairu doesn't know why she's so unlucky.
I've been to the pickling workshop at least dozens of times. But this time, I inexplicably tripped and fell. If it weren't for my strong will to survive at the time, I'm afraid I would have been nothing but bones when I was pulled out.
Although she didn't know what she looked like now, Qin Huairu knew that her appearance was probably completely ruined.
If you add the two pieces of flesh that were cut off, she wouldn't even qualify as a woman. Qin Huairu felt like even the heavens were against her.
I haven't done anything heinous, yet misfortune keeps haunting me. First, I was bitten by a snake while picking wild vegetables. Then, I inexplicably developed breast cancer, and now, I've been affected by these chemicals.
If it were just me alone, that would be one thing, but my child is suffering just as much as I am.
The thought of the stick reminded Qin Huairu of her two daughters. Qin Huairu knew that her son's life was completely ruined.
She feared she would have to rely on her two daughters for the rest of her life. Thinking of them, Qin Huairu couldn't help but worry, as she hadn't been home for several days. What if they caught a chill in this cold weather?
Qin Huairu was clearly overthinking things. She was injured while at work. The country treats its workers very well these days. So well that even though Qin Huairu was hospitalized, someone was specifically looking after her child, and she was eating quite well.
This allowed Xiao Dang and Xiao Huaihua to finally enjoy a good life. Now, the sisters wished their mother and grandmother would never come back. As long as they didn't return, they wouldn't have to eat coarse food.
Not only were Xiao Dang and Xiao Huaihua being cared for, but Qin Huairu also had someone by her side. Wei Hua specifically hired a female worker to take care of Qin Huairu at the hospital, and he himself would also come to the hospital once or twice a day.
If a woman takes care of Qin Huairu, there won't be any bad gossip, and it's relatively easier for a woman to take care of another woman.
Just as Wei Hua finished learning about Qin Huairu's situation and was about to return to the steel rolling mill, he suddenly saw two people carrying a child running out.
This made Wei Hua feel very uneasy, especially since he discovered through his spatial abilities that the child was actually struggling. However, because his mouth was covered, he couldn't make a sound.
Seeing this, Wei Hua immediately chased after them. To prevent the child from getting hurt, Wei Hua only dared to set up a tiny obstacle, such as the person not holding the child suddenly tripping or the person holding the child suddenly twisting their ankle.
Because everyone had encountered a minor accident, Wei Hua caught up with the two of them in no time. They were carrying a child, so Wei Hua couldn't use too much force. He protected the child with one hand and knocked the person holding the child unconscious with the other.
Then he kicked another person a few times and waited there for the police to arrive.
Hospitals are always busy, and with something this serious happening, it was impossible for no one to come. Soon, a large crowd gathered. Hearing the child's cries, they learned that child traffickers had appeared in the hospital. Some people, out of anger, even kicked them a few times. Then everyone stayed there to watch over the traffickers, preventing them from escaping.
The police hadn't arrived yet, but the child's mother had already come. A woman in her thirties rushed over and started crying as soon as she saw the child, while the child remained remarkably calm.
"Thank you so much, comrade. If it weren't for you, my daughter would have been kidnapped by these human traffickers."
"Sister, you're too kind. I believe anyone would have done the same in this situation."
“You can’t say that. If the child were abducted by human traffickers, my husband would probably resent me for the rest of his life. I would also have no face to face our Zhou family ancestors.”
"Xiaobai, quickly thank this big brother."
"Big brother, thank you. If it weren't for you, I would have been kidnapped by those bad guys."
Hearing the quiet, well-behaved little girl in front of him, Wei Hua felt his mind go blank. Nine or ten years old, surnamed Zhou, named Xiaobai, and dressed in typical courtyard attire... wasn't she the perfect heroine from "Blood Romance"?
Wei Hua now roughly understood what was going on; this was a special opportunity rewarded by the system. If his memory served him correctly, Zhou Zhennan should now be the deputy commander of the military sub-district, enjoying the待遇 (treatment/benefits) of a full-fledged army commander.
Most importantly, several years later, Zhou Zhennan was completely unaffected. Besides his continued service in the military, this was largely due to his background. If I remember correctly, Zhou Zhennan came from the Fourth Field Army.
When the wind picked up, he had an extra layer of protection. The woman in front of him, in her thirties, was clearly Zhou Zhennan's wife, whom he married after the liberation.
"Little sister, never be separated from your mother in the future."
Hearing Wei Hua's words, Zhou Xiaobai nodded vigorously, his expression very serious.
"Young man, thank you so much. Could you please give me your contact information? I'd like to personally visit you to express my gratitude."
"Sister, you don't need to be so polite. It's just a small favor."
Although Wei Hua didn't say anything, Chen Yijun had plenty of ways to handle it. When the police officers from the local police station came to arrest the two human traffickers, Chen Yijun stood by.
While Wei Hua was giving his statement, Chen Yijun had already learned most of Wei Hua's background. Knowing Wei Hua's name and where he worked, Chen Yijun left with Zhou Xiaobai. Wei Hua, having nothing else to do, also left, as he still had business to attend to at the steel rolling mill.
The opportunity, being called an opportunity, was naturally not so simple. The next day, Chen Yijun arrived at the steel rolling mill with gifts. Chen Yijun's background was also not simple; he had started participating in the revolution in his teens and was now a regimental-level cadre, the same rank as Li Huaide, the deputy director of the steel rolling mill.
No one dared to underestimate Chen Yijun, a civilian cadre at the regimental level, because her husband was the deputy commander of the military region.
After learning of Chen Yijun's purpose, Factory Director Yang and Deputy Factory Director Li immediately took Chen Yijun to Weihua's workshop.
"Comrade Weihua, thank you for what happened yesterday. I didn't bring anything with me because I took my daughter to see the doctor yesterday, so I bought some things today to thank you."
"Sister, you're too kind. I already said yesterday that it was just a small favor."
“It was just a small favor for you, but it was a huge deal for our family. Without you, my daughter might have already been kidnapped by human traffickers. I don’t need to elaborate on how terrible it would be if she were kidnapped. You are simply my daughter’s savior.”
"This is our way of expressing our gratitude to you. It's nothing much, but it's a token of our appreciation."
Hearing this, Wei Hua took the small bag.
"Comrade Weihua, this is our home phone number and address. You can call us anytime if you need anything. I have other things to attend to, so I'll have to leave now."
After finishing speaking, Chen Yijun gave Wei Hua a standard military salute, then turned and left the steel rolling mill.
Seeing that Chen Yijun had already left, Li Huaide was the first to come over.
"Xiao Wei! You've really made our steel mill proud. Last time you saved our minister, and this time you even snatched the daughter of Deputy Commander Zhou from human traffickers."
"Regardless of whether the factory rewards you or not, as the deputy factory director, I'll make a statement first. Even if the factory doesn't reward you, I'll still give you something out of my own pocket."
“I happen to have a TV ticket and some other tickets, which I will use as a reward for your bravery.”
After saying that, he took out several receipts from his pocket and stuffed them into Wei Hua's pocket. His other hand was still gripping Wei Hua's pocket, clearly not intending for Wei Hua to refuse.
Li Huaide had political awareness, and so did Yang Jian.
"Comrade Weihua, the factory happens to have one more spot for outstanding individuals. I've decided to give this honor to you again."
This made the other accompanying people feel a little jealous.
He wished he could take Wei Hua's place and receive this honor.
