"Furthermore, please rest assured that even if Comrade Jia Xudong becomes paralyzed, the factory will not abandon him."

"Really?" Perhaps the last question worked, because Jia Zhangshi immediately stopped crying, wiped her face, and stared at Director Li. "Are you telling the truth?"

"According to what you just said, even if my Xudong becomes paralyzed or dies in the future..."

"Your steel rolling mill wouldn't abandon us, a widow and her orphans, would you?"

Upon hearing this last sentence, Director Li's face visibly stiffened.

She was utterly speechless... she even considered just walking away!

I originally thought that Jia Zhangshi was crying so sadly because she was worried about whether her son lived or died.

So all she was thinking about was how she would live without her son...

Even so, everything has to be done according to policy...

Director Li, suppressing his inner discomfort, continued to explain: "Auntie, theoretically speaking, that is indeed the case."

"Even if Comrade Jia Xudong is unable to go to work or perform his duties in the future, his basic salary and welfare benefits will continue to be paid on time. In short, the state and the unit will absolutely not allow the interests of any worker to be harmed."

"Regardless of whether Comrade Jia Xudong violated regulations or not, he was injured on duty in the workshop. You family members should not worry about anything else or have any concerns. Just focus on taking good care of him in the hospital."

"If you encounter any difficulties, the factory will step in to provide assistance."

Director Li's words completely dispelled Jia Zhangshi's earlier sadness.

For some unknown reason, Jia Zhangshi suddenly grabbed Li Xia's arm and pressed her for an answer.

"If someone bullies us, a widow and her orphans, will your factory step in to help us?"

Um... Li Xia's expression suddenly became even more bizarre, and she instantly lost the will to speak!

This old lady's focus keeps changing...

Shouldn't your primary concern right now be your son's injuries...?

What on earth is this middle-aged woman thinking?

Jia Zhangshi's eccentricities left Li Xia and several other leaders speechless.

Even Qin Huairu, who had been crying and silent since arriving at the hospital, was stunned for a moment. She seemed to have anticipated what her mother-in-law was about to say and immediately covered her face with her hands.

I don't know if she was embarrassed or wiping away tears of sadness...

Director Li paused for a moment, then said, "Of course, if anyone bullies you, the factory will naturally step in..."

But before she could finish speaking, Jia Zhangshi interrupted her, saying, "Boss! I want to file a complaint!"

"Someone is bullying us!"

Uh... Director Li was stunned. She never expected that Jia Xudong's family would file a lawsuit again.

Moreover, is now the time to file a complaint?

What complaint does she want to file?

And it seems like someone is bullying him?

Could it be that they wanted to report the workshop director who notified Jia Xudong at his home?

The others thought the same thing, but Jia Zhangshi's next words stunned them all.

"I'm going to sue Li Chaoyang, the section chief in your factory!"

"He bullied my son, Jia Xudong. No, he not only bullied my son, he also bullied my grandson!"

As she spoke, Jia Zhangshi pulled the dazed stick standing beside her in front of her, but after thinking for a moment, she added through gritted teeth, "No, he bullied our whole family!"

Instantly, all the factory leaders' eyes were focused on Li Chaoyang, who was standing far away.

The factory manager, being a straightforward person, immediately asked in surprise, "Li Chaoyang?"

"How can this be?!"

Director Li then came to his senses and added, "Auntie, when your Jia Xudong had the accident, it was Li Chaoyang who drove him to the hospital, and then he rushed back to the factory to pick us up."

"He's been in the public eye ever since, how could he possibly have had time to bully your family members?"

Jia Zhangshi was stunned for a moment. Why did everyone's expressions look so strange?

But when she followed everyone's gaze, she realized that Li Chaoyang had been in the hospital corridor the whole time.

How come I never noticed this before?

After thinking for a moment, she gritted her teeth, burst into tears, pointed angrily at Li Chaoyang, and shouted, "Yes! It's him!"

"It was Li Chaoyang who bullied us, a widow and her orphans!"

"You falsely accused my eldest grandson of stealing his braised pork!"

"Poor Xudong, he only earns so little money a month, and he got swindled out of two yuan!"

"Look at my grandson! He's so young, and my son beat him up like this just because of his false accusations!"

Li Chaoyang was standing far away, so he didn't hear Jia Zhangshi excitedly whispering something to the leaders.

But he heard the accusations against him clearly... and he was completely dumbfounded.

"What the heck... has this Jia Zhangshi gone mad?" Li Chaoyang couldn't understand at all what was wrong with this old hag. How could she have such a bizarre way of thinking at a time like this, when lives were at stake?

Is she trying to take advantage of running into a high-ranking factory manager today to get revenge for the two yuan she lost yesterday?

But even if I succeed in the lawsuit, what then? Do you expect me to return those two dollars to her?

Her son, Jia Xudong, is still in the operating room undergoing emergency treatment. How did she manage to do something so extraordinary...?

Li Chaoyang was so surprised he didn't even bother to go over and explain...

Judging from this, Jia Zhangshi has clearly gone completely insane. What's the point of explaining anything?

But Director Li grasped the key point in Jia Zhangshi's words and asked calmly, "Auntie, you just said that Li Chaoyang bullied you and your son, but he has been in our sight the whole time. He's been here since your son's accident. How could he possibly be bullying you?"

"Did you confuse him with the previous workshop foreman...?"

Upon hearing this, the factory manager fell silent instantly, and the others looked at Jia Zhangshi with puzzled expressions.

They all wondered if the workshop director had made a mistake when reporting the injury, and then pinned the blame on Li Chaoyang. After all, they were all there. When they heard that Jia Xudong was injured, Li Chaoyang was the first to volunteer to drive him to the hospital. How could such a kind-hearted comrade bully an orphan and a widow?

Just as they were wondering, Jia Zhangshi became more and more agitated as she spoke, her face contorted as she raised her hand and pointed at Li Chaoyang.

"I'm not talking about today, I'm talking about yesterday!"

“Last night, he falsely accused my eldest grandson of stealing meat from their house.”

"Not only did his father beat the child up, but he also made our family give him two yuan as compensation!"

"Such a person is utterly devoid of conscience!"

"He is completely unfit to be a state cadre!"

"I demand that your relevant leaders deal with people like him seriously!"

"Hey, ma'am, this is so unreasonable! You're going to kill your savior over two yuan?" The tall, thin man who had initially come to the small meeting room to report the news couldn't stand it anymore. Pointing at Li Chaoyang, he said to Jia Zhangshi, "If it weren't for Section Chief Li today, your son might have died in the workshop!"

"How come such a kind-hearted person is described as utterly heartless in your eyes?"

"I really feel sorry for him!"

"If I had known it would be like this, Section Chief Li shouldn't have volunteered to take Jia Xudong to the hospital!"

But Madam Jia's expression changed, and she said to the man, "Who knows what he was up to by sending our Xudong here? I just heard the doctor say that if he had been brought here earlier, he could have been saved, but he would have become paralyzed."

"Maybe he deliberately dawdled on the way...which is why our Xudong got into trouble..."

"Enough!" The factory manager suddenly interrupted Jia Zhangshi's complaints with a harsh and stern expression. Ignoring her expression, he said directly to the others, "Leave two people at the hospital to continue looking after things."

"Since Comrade Jia Xudong is out of danger, we, the leaders in charge, will head back now."

"City leaders are coming to inspect the factory this afternoon, and we have to go back to receive them."

"Chaoyang, can you drive us back?"

As soon as the factory director finished speaking, the other leaders got up and left without the slightest hesitation.

It was as if they couldn't stand being there for even a minute longer. This included Li Xia, who had been patiently trying to persuade Jia Zhangshi. Their synchronized movements left Li Chaoyang, who had just arrived to offer his opinion, completely bewildered.

What's wrong with these leaders?

Did such a few words disgust them?

But thinking about it again, it makes sense...

After all, these are usually high-ranking and important figures.

I guess they've never been so disgusted by anyone before...

Little did Li Chaoyang know that the factory manager and the others reacted this way precisely because they had seen it all before.

That's why I made such a decisive decision to leave; otherwise, getting entangled with them would have been a real hassle!

They had dealt with these kinds of workers' families far too many times.

You know that these kinds of people are the kind of people you can't hit or scold.
