Zhang Caifeng had just stopped and waved her hand, and everyone started fighting again.
Secretary Zou was so angry that he jumped up and down: "Hey, what do you want to do? Zhang Caifeng, I know you are angry, but you can't do this. Stop the fighting and don't let anyone get killed. If you do, I will arrest you all!"
Yu Sui walked around the back of the crowd, walked around to Secretary Zou, pulled him away and whispered:
"Secretary, you can't yell like that. In this kind of situation, besides the law not punishing the masses, there's also the saying that public outrage is hard to offend. Anyway, now that things have come to this, why don't you be a peacemaker and take advantage of this momentum to punish those people who stole my personal belongings? That way, you can win the hearts of the people, punish Yin Xiaoe and those troublemakers, and appease Zhang Caifeng at the same time. How great is that, don't you think?"
Secretary Zou's face flushed with anxiety, and he looked at her with heavy breathing:
"Zhang Caifeng is being picky. Others don't know how much the factory equipment costs, but you don't? And you're still speaking for her?"
Yu Sui shrugged:
"Secretary, it wasn't Zhang Caifeng who started this incident today. It was Yu Fugui who came to Zhang Caifeng's door and said she was a labor camp prisoner. Listen! Labor camp prisoner? How could a team leader say that? Who did Zhang Caifeng run this factory for? Who was Zhang Caifeng arrested for? She was already so wronged, and Yu Fugui, as a team leader, came and added fuel to the fire. How could Zhang Caifeng forgive him? And he said it himself, that Yin Xiao'e gave him 20 kilograms of flour. How could a team leader say that? Secretary, do you think we can forgive him?"
"This is a hopeless idiot! Okay, I understand!" Secretary Zou stamped his feet in anger and shouted:
"Alright, alright, everyone, stop fighting for now. If someone dies, you'll be the ones who suffer. Everyone, stop for a moment. I'll handle this. I'll handle it. I'll definitely handle it. Stop fighting! I'll definitely help you. Stop fighting. If someone dies, you won't be able to eat the flour you fight for. You'll be sued!"
Zhang Caifeng sacrificed her life for everyone's benefit. The things in the factory belong to everyone. Everyone, please stop fighting. For Zhang Caifeng's sake, please give up. Zhang Caifeng, everyone trusts you. You need to act like an old team leader or elder sister, Zhang Caifeng!"
Secretary Zou's voice was almost pleading.
Zhang Caifeng then joined in the persuasion: "Alright, everyone, stop fighting. Since the secretary said he would help us solve this problem, let's stop for a while and wait for the secretary to help us solve it! We can talk about it later if he doesn't solve it. Hey, everyone, stop for a while!"
Secretary Zou wiped his sweat quietly: Zhang Caifeng is different from before. Hearing this, if the problem is not solved, she will have to be beaten again. Alas!
But after Zhang Caifeng's call, there was still some movement, and everyone gradually stopped.
However, Yin Xiao'e could no longer stand. Much of her hair had been ripped out, and her face was covered with scratches. She collapsed on the ground, only able to cry, no longer having her former arrogance.
Her husband was also beaten so hard that his mouth was covered in blood. He squatted aside, holding his stomach and gasping for breath.
The others who were caught in the flour business because of Yin Xiao'e were also very upset at this moment, but they did not stay with Yin Xiao'e. Instead, they stood on the other side with disgust.
At the door of Zhang Caifeng's house, three or four groups of people automatically stood together, and most of the people stood next to Zhang Caifeng.
Zhang Caifeng looked up and said, "Secretary, tell me how to solve this problem. I've already given you the factory's account books. It shows how many machines and flour are still in the factory. Since Yin Xiao'e took the lead and Yu Fugui is protecting her, then on behalf of the factory, I'll ask them to take back the money and give it to everyone."
At this point, Secretary Zou had to stand on Zhang Caifeng's side. He quickly said, "But you're right. We shouldn't take things that are of a physical nature. Let's put it this way. The machines and equipment in the factory are all accounted for. We'll calculate based on the account. Whoever takes them back will be charged according to the current price. If they can't take them out, they'll be compensated with labor!"
Zhang Caifeng snorted, "Pay wages as compensation? That'll take a while. Staff, do you agree?"
The people standing beside her saw the hope of getting the money, so they naturally understood and immediately said in unison, "No!"
Several men said, "Give it to me right away! Why should they eat it and poop it out, and we still have to wait until the end? It's unfair!"
"Yes, give it to them right away, or we'll go to their house to get the things!"
Those who still hold on at this time are not stupid. They obviously see the opportunity to gain benefits, so they speak aggressively.
Amidst the commotion, Secretary Zou had no choice but to ask Zhang Caifeng to take the account book and do the math carefully.
Everyone was gathered around, and Zhang Caifeng quickly counted the money. Taking this opportunity, she counted the bowls, plates, chopsticks, and even the leftover wrapping paper, not to mention the leftover main ingredients such as flour and sugar.
I didn't know how much it was until I counted it, and I was shocked to find that the total amount was actually around two thousand yuan.
The crowd watching cheered.
Yin Xiao'e, who was listening, was frightened and shouted:
"Bullshit, how can that kind of wrapping paper be counted as money? I burned it as firewood, it can't be counted! The bowls, plates and chopsticks are just used, they can't be counted as money either, Zhang Caifeng, don't go too far!"
Zhang Caifeng slammed the table and said, "You're talking nonsense! Even if it's stolen, it's still her body, and it's hers. You're nothing. You just took it. Since you think stolen bowls, plates, and chopsticks don't count, then all the stolen bowls, plates, and chopsticks in your house don't count. Let's all go to your house and take them, okay?"
Everyone started to make a noise: "That's right, if that's the case, then let's go to Yin Xiao'e's house and get it!"
"Hello! Let's go together!"
There is strength in numbers. The crowd rushed to Yin Xiao'e's house, shouting and yelling. Yin Xiao'e and her husband were frightened and begged for mercy repeatedly. Yin Xiao'e knelt down:
"No, no, you can't do this. You can't do this. With so much money, you won't get it even if you tear my house down! And you! Su Xuemei, Liu Sansao, you all took those bowls and stools, and you also took a lot of flour and sugar. Why are you keeping quiet now? Pay for it!"
Yin Xiao'e was desperate and tried every possible means to protect herself. She quickly pushed others out, but she didn't know that doing so would only make her get stepped on harder.
When Su Xuemei was called, she immediately shouted:
"I only took one bowl. You didn't want the stool because it was too high, so I picked it up. I'll pay for the flour and sugar and return them to the production team, but what about the things you gave to your parents? I saw you and your husband pushing a cart, pushing two big bags of flour to your parents' home.
There's also a big pot, such a big pot, you said you gave it to your mother's family to raise pigs, but it was all from our production team. You are such a traitor, and you still have the nerve to criticize me, bah! "
