Ning Qingjian wanted to persuade Ning Zhihuan to go back to the house.
After all, he had to get up early to go to school tomorrow, and he was afraid of delaying Ning Zhihuan's studies.
It's not good to be late for school right after school.
But looking at Ning Zhihuan's furrowed brows and determined face, he swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
I had no choice but to follow.
When the two ran to the middle of the mountain, they happened to meet Chen Zhu, who was in a dishevel.
She seemed to have fallen and her body and face were covered in dirt.
The whole person looks very haggard.
When she saw Ning Zhihuan and the other person, she was stunned at first, then a little bit incredulous.
I rubbed my eyes to make sure that what I saw was not an illusion.
Then he rushed forward and hugged Ning Zhihuan.
Ning Zhihuan didn't say anything, but patted Chen Zhu's back, feeling her soft poke.
She didn't ask what happened, nor did she ask how things were going at the garment factory. She just said softly, "Aunt, let's go home."
Chen Zhu nodded, wiped away her tears, and said "OK" in a hoarse voice.
In the darkness of night, Ning Zhihuan saw tears welling up in the eyes of the always strong girl.
There was also the heartache in Ning Qingjian's eyes.
I helped Chen Zhu back home, and everyone in the family was still asleep.
Seeing Chen Zhu in such a mess, they surrounded her and asked her if anything had happened.
Faced with the concern of her family, Chen Zhu could only shake her head and say that she was fine.
Old Mrs. Ning noticed something was wrong and told everyone to go to bed quickly.
Only Chen Zhu, Old Lady Ning, Ning Qingjian and Ning Zhihuan were left in the main room.
Even so, Chen Zhu still refused to say what happened. She just shook her head and said that she accidentally fell and was in great pain, so she cried.
But who here doesn’t know Chen Zhu?
Chen Zhu got through the Ning family's most difficult days.
She carried everything for the Ning family on her soft shoulders, so why would she cry so miserably just because of a fall?
Ning Zhihuan knew in his heart that it was most likely related to the factory.
It's just that she doesn't feel comfortable asking more questions now.
The important thing now is to calm Chen Zhu's emotions.
"It's okay, aunt, you're home. Everything is fine now." Ning Zhihuan walked over and half-knelt beside Chen Zhu. His voice was very soft, as if it had magic.
Chen Zhu's anxious mood gradually eased.
She nodded, still looking gloomy, but not like she did at the beginning.
Ning Zhihuan knew the current situation well. Chen Zhu was reluctant to talk at first probably because she didn't want to delay her studies, so no matter how he asked, she wouldn't say anything.
In this case, it would be better to let her have a good rest and take it easy.
As for the rest, she would investigate it herself.
So she asked Ning Qingjian to help Chen Zhu go back to the room to rest, while she urged Old Lady Ning to nod. The two of them understood each other's meaning at a glance.
Old Mrs. Ning also nodded at her.
With Old Lady Ning looking after Chen Zhu, she felt much more at ease.
Although she didn't think Chen Zhu was an extreme person who would choose to die if she encountered any difficulties.
But it's always a good idea to have someone watch over her.
Don't go to the factory either.
The problem must be at the factory. I don’t know what Xu Zhi did to make Chen Zhu collapse like this.
Ning Zhihuan went into her room and cursed Xu Zhi in her heart.
I thought about this matter all night and went to breakfast the next morning with dark circles under my eyes.
When Li Xueyan saw him, she didn't even bother asking about what happened to Chen Zhu yesterday.
Ning Zhihuan just shut up and did his own thing, so he didn't have to make up lies to deal with it.
However, Chen Zhu did not come out to eat breakfast.
Ning Qingjian didn't come out either, which made people feel strange.
She wanted to take a leave and stay at home, but Mrs. Ning said she could handle it and let her go to school without worry.
Helplessly, Ning Zhihuan had to carry his schoolbag and go to school, with this matter on his mind all the way.
After thinking about it, she felt something was wrong.
So he changed his route to school and went directly to the factory to ask Xu Zhi for an explanation.
The factory was neither near nor far from the school. On the way, Ning Zhihuan saw several familiar faces.
Aren’t the two women in work clothes holding hands the two employees who used to make clothes?
If I remember correctly, the two of them should be working under Xu Zhi now.
More importantly, they seemed to have mentioned Chen Zhu?
Ning Zhihuan frowned and approached the two women.
The two women were wearing headscarves, a typical rural style, and spoke very loudly, as if they wanted everyone on the street to know.
Of course, maybe they didn't mean it.
It’s just that I’m used to communicating by yelling at home and I can’t change it.
Most people on the street are like this, so it doesn't seem out of place.
A woman with a matchmaker's mole on her chin said sarcastically, "Huh... Chen Zhu is really lucky to be favored by the factory director."
The other woman nodded vigorously, as if venting her anger, her words filled with dissatisfaction with Chen Zhu. "I really don't know what the factory director likes about Chen Zhu? Isn't it just that she's a little taller and thinner? Can a skinny girl like that give birth to a son?"
To be fair, Chen Zhu is indeed a symbol.
Especially after entering middle age, all aspects of the body have matured, and it is not wrong to describe them as middle-aged women.
In the past, she wrapped herself in plain and loose clothes and it was not noticeable. Now her taste has improved, and her dressing style is more Western, and she has more charm.
If she said she came back from the city, there would definitely be people who believed her.
She does farm work all year round, so her skin is rough, but not as dark as that of other women.
Speak appropriately, confidently and generously.
Ning Zhihuan was not surprised at all that someone was attracted to Chen Zhu.
But she felt that this matter would not be that simple.
And she really disliked the tone of the two female workers.
"Don't tell me that. I already have a son who is in high school."
"I think it's probably because her son is not doing well and her husband is not good enough, so she dresses so coquettishly every day to seduce the factory director." After saying that, she nodded, confirming her thoughts.
"Why else would the factory director fall for a married woman with a son like her?"
“…”
These two women slandered Chen Zhu without any scruples just out of jealousy and based on their own guesses.
The story is so exaggerated and has no basis at all.
Ning Zhihuan thought it was ridiculous.
But the two of them kept going further and further.
She said nothing and turned back to school.
She remembered the dirty faces of these two people. They will definitely pay the price for this, but not now.
She didn't want to worry her family.
Even though Ning Zhihuan ran very fast, like flying, he was still late when he arrived at the classroom. Liu Xiaoli's class was already half over.
Seeing Ning Zhihuan standing at the door of the classroom panting, he let her in in surprise.
