"It's okay, it's just a scratch on the palm of your hand. It will heal in a few days. The village doctor has examined us and said that there is nothing serious and we just need to rest for a while. As you know, the village doctor's medical skills are no worse than those of the doctors in the city, so you don't have to worry about us."
"Then I'm relieved. Your hand is injured, so you probably can't go to work. Do you want me to ask for leave for you tomorrow? This way you don't have to make an extra trip and can recover at home. Anyway, I'm familiar with your colleagues, so it doesn't matter what I say or what I tell you. Manager Zheng will definitely understand.
"No need. I'll take a bullock cart to check it out tomorrow. It's not confirmed whether we can start work tomorrow, so I have to go and take a look. My hand will take more than a week to heal. If I want to ask for leave, I'd better ask in person, so that it seems more sincere. Or I have to see what arrangements the manager has. After all, a week is not a short time. I might as well go. Anyway, I only injured my hand and my leg is fine. It won't have much impact." Even if it was her boyfriend, Jiang Shushu didn't want him to interfere in her work. She didn't want his words to have any effect on her boss. That would not be good for her, so Jiang Shushu decided to refuse him at the source.
"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow at noon. I'll get you lunch from the cafeteria, and you can tell me what's going on then."
"Okay, go ahead and get busy!"
As soon as Wang Beiyi returned to the Public Security Bureau, he immediately asked someone to wake up Wang Daxiong and began interrogating him.
Wang Daxiong was also a cunning guy. After waking up, he immediately turned against Jiang He and the others, crying and snotting as he recounted how Jiang He and the other two had teamed up to beat him into a disability, just because he was mean and mocked Jiang He and Jiang Laoliu. The other three deliberately retaliated against him. Wang Daxiong asked the police to stand up for him, arrest Jiang He and the other three, and give him justice.
Wang Bei: "Do you know Wang Tian?"
"I don't know him, I've only heard of him. He's quite famous in Ping'an Town." Wang Tian has done so many shameful things. I'd be a fool to admit knowing him. Wouldn't that be courting death? If I didn't admit it, perhaps the police wouldn't be able to find my identity, and I still had hope of survival.
"Why did you come to Q City and Hualing Brigade?"
"My name is Li Dabao (after Li Dabao was killed by Wang Daxiong, Wang Daxiong took over Li Dabao's identity). I live halfway up a mountain in Xiaoxi Village, Ping'an Town. I was adopted as a child and have lived on my own since childhood. Some time ago, I heard a fellow villager in Ping'an Town say that he saw someone in the Hualing Brigade who looked like me, and I guessed that it might be my relative.
I didn't know if the news was true, nor did I know what kind of people they were. So I spent the past few days quietly searching for them in the Hualing Brigade. After a few days of searching, with no news at all, I became extremely upset. Then, when I saw the two old men, I cursed them a few times to vent my frustration. I didn't expect the three of them to team up and beat me up like this. "Wuwuwu..."
Wang Bei: “…” It’s true that each person has his own reasons, and both groups speak with sincerity.
"I already know what you said. You should take good care of your injuries first. We will investigate whether it is true or not."
Wang Bei told Director Liu about the matter. Director Liu asked Wang Bei to take two people and Wang Daxiong's photo to Ping'an Town in the neighboring city. Director Liu also personally called the Public Security Bureau of Ping'an Town and asked them to cooperate with Wang Bei in investigating Wang Daxiong.
Wang Bei picked two veteran policemen and went with him to Ping'an Town in the neighboring city.
Early the next morning, Jiang Shushu took a ox cart to the east of the state-owned hotel.
When a group of people saw Jiang Shushu's injured hand, they came up to him and asked him what happened.
Jiang Shushu only talked about the cause and effect, not the consequences. "Yesterday morning, my father and uncle went to the mountains to chop firewood. In the mountains, they met a pervert. He fell and was covered in mud. Then he said he was in a bad mood and wanted to kill someone to cheer himself up. He wanted to attack my father and uncle. At that time, I happened to come to my father to help him carry the firewood home. When I saw him, I immediately rushed up to him and started fighting. In the end, although I won, the skin on my right hand was broken and bleeding. The doctor said it would take at least seven days for the scar to heal."
Everyone gasped: "..." How perverted! Damn, there are all kinds of people these days. They're so upset that they'd kill someone to cheer themselves up? People like that should go to hell.
Qian Xiaoni: "Shushu, what next? What happened to that pervert?" Don't let him out to harm others.
"I reported it to the police and was arrested by them. What happened next? I guess it will take a few days to find out." There is no need to say more about this.
"Shushu, what does that person look like? Is he a local? Tell us about him, otherwise I won't feel at ease in this class." People like this, or their families, must be kept away from them, otherwise, if they are not careful, they will die without knowing how.
The others immediately nodded in agreement: Such a perverted person must be stayed away from.
"He's not from here, he's from the next city. He's tall and strong, with a fierce look on his face... He doesn't look like a good guy at first glance." So you can rest assured.
…
Everyone: I hope you’re not a local, it’s really scary.
Jiang Shushu took a glance at the empty kitchen and knew that the door would definitely not be opened today.
I wonder how many more days I have left? Do I need to ask for leave?
Zheng Dayong coughed. "Well, as you can see, the kitchen is empty, so we can't open it for the time being. The thing is, we suddenly needed the goods, and in large quantities, so we don't have any now. We have to wait until the fourth day to get the goods, and we have to spend another day cleaning and sorting, so it will take another five days.
I've discussed this with Director Qian. Because of our sudden closure, our ingredients have been split between State-Owned Restaurant Central and State-Owned Restaurant South, making them very busy these past two days. So, for the next few days, you'll be split into two groups, each helping out at the other two state-owned restaurants."
Jiang Shushu raised his hand, "Manager, can I take five days off? I think I can help if I go." God is really helping me. It's hard to ask for so many days off at home, but it's easy to ask for help at other people's homes.
"Okay, Xiao Jiang, you should rest well these few days. We'll see how you recover in five days and make arrangements. If that doesn't work, you can rest for a few more days."
Qian Xiaoni: "Shushu, don't worry about your injuries, I'm here to take care of everything."
Others: "If you are too busy, we will lend a hand. You can just focus on recovering."
"Thank you. I will definitely take good care of my injuries and try to come back as soon as possible."
After Jiang Shushu took his leave, he returned to his home in the city. Yang Xiaobei borrowed Zhao Laifu's bicycle, carried the prepared food, and went to the east of the state-owned restaurant. When he saw that it was still closed, he immediately turned around and went to Jiang Shushu's home to have lunch with Jiang Shushu.
