Director Li paused, lit a cigarette, and then said, "But life is still beautiful. I hope you won't be too extreme in your actions in the future, otherwise it won't be good for your future!"
Upon hearing this, He Yushui immediately understood Director Li's meaning. She smiled and nodded, saying, "I understand your good intentions, but I was also pushed to the limit before, and had no choice but to do what I did. If the Elder Care Syndicate hadn't gone too far, I wouldn't have taken that step!"
Director Li said, "The law will definitely give you an explanation for this matter, but I still need to remind you that Qin Huairu's outcome may not meet your expectations. Although Qin Huairu is a beneficiary, she hasn't done anything illegal!"
After understanding He Yushui's experience, Director Li could only exclaim, 'Good heavens, two widows in one family, truly good heavens!' They gained everything without doing anything. As the biggest beneficiaries, they ultimately don't bear any legal responsibility. The only exception is Qin Huairu's son, Jia Geng. Director Li understood that with He Yushui's calculations, how could she let him off?
Stealing a chicken, this issue is neither big nor small, but given Jia Geng's age, even without a letter of understanding, at most he would be sent to a juvenile detention center for ten days to half a month, after all, he is still young!
He Yushui said, "I understand, the Jia family's matters are all due to my muddled Silly Ge!"
...
Although Yang Factory Director's investigation was concealed from all workers, it couldn't escape the eyes of those with intentions.
And Yi Zhonghai's matter was even published in the newspaper, so the Steel Rolling Plant couldn't just turn a blind eye!
Currently, the leadership of the Steel Rolling Plant is divided into two factions: one led by Yang Factory Director, and the other led by Deputy Factory Director Li Huaide.
As an eighth-grade fitter, Yi Zhonghai had always been part of Yang Factory Director's faction. Now that something had happened, Li Huaide was undoubtedly the happiest.
As soon as Yang Factory Director was taken away by the police, Li Huaide knew about it immediately.
Overjoyed, Li Huaide immediately called his father-in-law. Understanding the whole story, Li Huaide was ecstatic!
"Heaven helps me, heaven helps me, ha ha ha!!!"
In the Deputy Factory Director's office, Li Huaide, who had just hung up the phone, burst out laughing. Yang Factory Director's trouble was a godsend for him!
Li Huaide acted quickly, immediately convening a committee meeting to discuss Yi Zhonghai's matter.
Yi Zhonghai's matter had already become widely known among the factory's leadership.
For such a morally corrupt worker, there was no one to speak up for him!
At noon, workers were eating in the cafeteria when the broadcast suddenly came on.
"Attention, fellow workers! Attention, fellow workers! Yi Zhonghai, an eighth-grade worker from the second workshop, has long embezzled the foster care fees of Comrade He Yuzhu's younger sister, He Yushui, amounting to a huge sum of 1500 yuan. Yi Zhonghai has committed such morally corrupt and illegal acts. The committee has thus resolved to dismiss Yi Zhonghai!"
The broadcast played three times, causing an uproar at the Steel Rolling Plant.
Everyone was surprised that Yi Zhonghai, an eighth-grade worker who usually smiled at everyone, had secretly committed such outrageous acts.
Some busybodies who had read today's newspaper even read out its contents.
For a time, Yi Zhonghai became a character universally condemned at the Steel Rolling Plant.
When Yi Zhonghai got into trouble, Liu Haizhong was the happiest.
Normally, no matter what Liu Haizhong did, he was always suppressed by Yi Zhonghai. Now, it was good. With Yi Zhonghai having done such a thing, Liu Haizhong's face was full of joyful smiles.
In contrast to Liu Haizhong was Qin Huairu. After learning why Yi Zhonghai was taken away, she completely despaired.
Currently, not only is Bang Geng still detained, but even Yi Zhonghai has been arrested. Yi Zhonghai's help to her was immense.
Qin Huairu often slacked off at work, and her mind wasn't on her job, but with Yi Zhonghai as her backer, she naturally didn't have to worry too much.
But now...
Thinking about her future days at the factory, Qin Huairu couldn't help but shed tears.
At the same time, Qin Huairu also realized that He Yushui was unreliable. Qin Huairu would not believe that He Yushui had no hand in Yi Zhonghai's arrest, not even if she were beaten to death.
And He Yushui had been appearing and disappearing mysteriously these past two days; no one knew what she was up to.
The widow was quite clever; she had guessed some things based solely on Yi Zhonghai's matter.
After finishing her meal, Qin Huairu immediately asked her workshop director for leave, then got Xu Damao's address from the propaganda department, and hurried out of the Steel Rolling Plant.
Returning to the Siheyuan (Courtyard) and seeing the surprised Jia Zhangshi, Qin Huairu immediately pulled her back home.
"Mom, things are a bit complicated now, and there are many things I haven't figured out. Please give me some advice!"
Then Qin Huairu told Jia Zhangshi everything about Yi Zhonghai's matter.
After listening to Qin Huairu's narration, after an unknown amount of time, Jia Zhangshi sighed, "He who hunts geese all day ends up being pecked by a gosling! I never thought He Yushui was hiding so deeply!"
He Yushui usually smiled at everyone, not contending or scrambling, but in fact, she struck decisively at the crucial moment.
Thinking about how deeply He Yushui was hidden, Jia Zhangshi couldn't help but shiver!
Jia Zhangshi paused and continued, "Huairu, it's better to rely on yourself than on others. It seems we can't rely on He Yushui for Bang Geng's matter. You must quickly go to the countryside to find Xu Damao. No matter the cost, you must make him write a letter of understanding. This matter should be done sooner rather than later. Bang Geng's future depends on you!"
Don't let Jia Zhangshi's usual bluster and unreasonableness fool you; she was the smartest person in the Courtyard.
Whatever she did, it was always beneficial to the Jia family.
Normally, she would teach Bang Geng to steal things from Sha Zhu's home. Stealing from Sha Zhu's home wasn't stealing; it was called taking.
But from beginning to end, Jia Zhangshi only let Bang Geng take from Sha Zhu's home. This was because she had long since understood Sha Zhu's character; in her eyes, Sha Zhu was just a simple-minded fool.
In those years, it was very normal for children to pilfer, and even in the next twenty to thirty years, it wouldn't be considered a major issue (unless they stole from the public!).
This is also why the neighbors in the Siheyuan (Courtyard), even though they knew their vegetables ended up in the Jia family's pockets, didn't pursue the matter, at most they would just complain a few times and be sarcastic!
It's just that Jia Zhangshi herself never expected Bang Geng to steal Xu Damao's chicken, nor did she expect Sha Zhu to cause trouble afterward. The matter was already over, it was truly an unlucky year.
However, the current situation is somewhat complicated. Bang Geng's matter is like a fuse, involving huge implications.
The only way now is to get Bang Geng out as soon as possible and get rid of the trouble.
Upon hearing this, Qin Huairu nodded repeatedly. Clearly, Jia Zhangshi and she had thought alike. Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Qin Huairu immediately left the Siheyuan (Courtyard) and headed towards Li Family Village!
