Tian Haiying originally wanted to go to the educated youth settlement to seek justice, but Zhu Qinghao and Si Tian disagreed, saying they would handle it privately on their own first.
Tian Haiying also knew that once she got involved in these things, things would change, and rumors that might not have spread before would definitely spread.
So she didn't even care what the captain was thinking with his brows furrowed, and just nudged him with her elbow to get his consent.
Upon seeing this, Zhu Qinghao quickly added her own assurances.
"Uncle Captain, don't worry, we won't make a big fuss. If things get out of control, I promise to have Tian Tian come back and call you."
When Si Tian met Wang Fulin's probing gaze, she nodded hurriedly and repeatedly assured him that she would come back to call for help if anything happened.
Wang Fulin shared the same concerns as Tian Haiying. He had also been considering whether to intervene directly, but seeing that the two of them had their own ideas, he had nothing to say.
"Alright, you two go ahead, but don't go too far, or I won't be able to help you if someone makes you pay for medical expenses."
He had a good impression of the two women, so he was sometimes willing to do them a favor.
So they decided to let them see if they could resolve the matter privately first, and if that didn't work, then he, as the captain, would step in.
"Okay, thank you, Captain Uncle, thank you, Aunt Haiying!"
After receiving the brigade leader's approval, the two of them no longer hesitated and headed straight for the educated youth settlement after leaving the brigade leader's house.
When the two arrived, most of the people at the educated youth settlement had gathered in the kitchen, waiting for their meal.
They weren't sure if they were waiting for someone, but the door was open, so they walked straight in and followed the sound to the bustling kitchen.
As soon as I went over, I heard them discussing why Chen Hui had fallen into the river in the dead of winter and even cut his mouth.
Zhu Qinghao and Si Tian exchanged a glance, and they both instantly understood that Chen Hui was trying to cover up the fact that he had wet himself in fear, so he simply put himself in the river.
Zhu Qing was secretly astonished; this person was truly ruthless.
In this freezing weather, how dare you throw yourself into the river? Aren't you afraid of getting sick and never recovering?
Thinking this, Zhu Qinghao didn't go inside, but instead pulled Si Tian to stand at the door to listen.
A short while later, she heard Wang Lan's voice.
"Why isn't the food ready yet? It's always this late, it's so annoying! I haven't even had anything good to eat, and it's taken so long!"
Just then, Huang Ying, who was cooking, suddenly spoke up.
"What are you thinking? You want to eat the best food? Do you think you're one of those two young ladies over there? Don't you even know if you're that good-looking!"
How could Wang Lan not refute such a retort? So she immediately retorted in a loud voice.
"Yes, of course I don't have that kind of looks, but I don't need to, and I'm not going to sell myself!"
"Oh dear, you'd better keep your voice down, or someone will hear you and you'll be in big trouble!"
"Zhu Qing" sounds pleasant, clearly Zhou Chunli's voice, but she wasn't genuinely trying to persuade Wang Lan; instead, she was being sarcastic and mocking.
