Movie Variety Show: Starting from a New World

Chapter 419 Accident at the Steel Mill

After seeing off Zhong Yuemin and Zheng Tong, Zhao Cheng completely relaxed. Apart from visiting Hou Polan's place once a week, the only time he went was to go fishing in Shichahai.

One day, Zhao Cheng was fishing under a willow tree when he heard two old men chatting nearby.

"Have you heard? Something happened at the steel mill!" said an old man.

"What's going on? The steel mill is now half-shut down. What else could happen? Aren't those workers so busy studying every day that they have no time to produce?" said another old man.

"Hey, I heard this time it's about Yi Zhonghai, the guy at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang. Do you know him?"

"That eighth-level fitter Yi Zhonghai? What happened to him?"

"I heard that due to improper operation, a part flew out and broke the arm of the apprentice working at the station next to him! The steel mill is going to bleed heavily now. This worker will not be able to go to work in the future, and he may even have to provide living expenses! What was the apprentice's name, Jia? Look, I actually forgot it in such a short while!" The old man said a little annoyed.

"Jia Dongxu!" Zhao Cheng interrupted.

"Yes, yes, that's Jia Dongxu. I heard he's only in his thirties, which is the best time of his life! He still has three children at home, and I heard his wife is pregnant with another one!" The old man's face was full of regret!

"Jia Dongxu is getting married again? Didn't he get divorced a few years ago?" Zhao Cheng asked in surprise.

"How do you know so much?" The old man looked at the young face of the county magistrate. He didn't look retired at all. Why would he come to Shichahai to fish in broad daylight? Like these two old guys?

"I used to live in Yard 95. The house is still there, but it's been put under the management of the street. It turns out we were neighbors!" said Zhao Cheng.

"Hey, we both used to work at the steel mill. Now our children have taken over our shift, so we both retired! I heard that the factory is going to hold Yi Zhonghai responsible for this incident!" said an old man.

"Of course, Jia Dongxu was a third-level worker after all, and he was laid off like this. How could the factory not give an explanation? Besides, his newly married wife is pregnant and there is no way for her to take over. Jia Dongxu can only be transferred to another position. The arm that was lost was the left arm, and the remaining right hand can still do some work!" the old man continued.

"After changing positions, will you be able to earn more than a third-level worker? I guess you will have to give some living allowance or something! Do you think Yi Zhonghai will give you this money?" said another old man.

"That's impossible? Although Yi Zhonghai handled the matter improperly, it is his own business if he wants to subsidize his apprentice. It is impossible for the factory to let Yi Zhonghai pay for the subsidy! But Jia Dongxu is Yi Zhonghai's retired apprentice, and Jia Dongxu has also adopted a grandson for Yi Zhonghai! It is Yi Zhonghai's responsibility to take care of Jia Dongxu!" Zhao Cheng said.

"You see, this is a big deal. These days, if the strong laborer in the family becomes disabled, how will the whole family survive?" The old man sighed.

After hearing this, Zhao Cheng felt that it would be a bit awkward if he didn't go and see what was happening, so he put away his fishing rod and left. He wanted to go to the scene and take a look.

Zhao Cheng rode his bicycle and arrived at Courtyard 95 in less than 20 minutes. When he entered, he saw Yan Fugui still tending to his flowers and plants.

The flower bed that was originally used to grow vegetables during difficult times was now planted with flowers by this old man.

"Teacher Yan is busy?" Zhao Cheng got out of the car and greeted Yan Fugui.

"Oh, Director Zhao, it's been a while since I last saw you! What have you been busy with recently?" Yan Fugui turned around and saw Zhao Cheng, and came over to greet him enthusiastically.

"What are you busy with now? Our public security system is not as powerful as the steel rolling mill security department. What else can we be busy with? I heard that something happened in our hospital?" Zhao Cheng asked in a low voice.

"That's right." Yan Fugui pulled Zhao Cheng into his home. Yan Fugui's wife and Yu Li were doing work in the house. When they saw Zhao Cheng, they greeted him and went back to the inner room.

"Something happened to Jia Dongxu! His arm was broken, and he is now completely disabled! Everyone in the compound is worried about this these two days! Yi Zhonghai wants everyone to give some money to help the Jia family!" Yan Fugui said helplessly.

"Yi Zhonghai is not only Jia Dongxu's master, but also the grandfather of Jia Dongxu's son. What's wrong with him giving some money to take care of the Jia family? How can he ask everyone to contribute money? Besides, this donation needs to be reported to the street! If it is not reported, it is called illegal fundraising! And it violates the law!" Zhao Cheng's tone was full of blame.

"Really?" Yan Fugui's eyes lit up and he asked directly.

"Of course! How could I not know these things?" Zhao Cheng said affirmatively.

"Oh, I have to say this at the meeting tonight. I can't watch Lao Yi make mistakes!" Yan Fugui said seriously.

Zhao Cheng curled his lips. This stingy old Yan didn't want Yi Zhonghai to make a mistake, he was obviously reluctant to spend the money.

"By the way, Teacher Yan, I heard that Jia Dongxu got married again not long ago? What's going on?" Zhao Cheng remembered something and asked quickly.

"Haha, this is a long story." Yan Fugui took a sip of water, put down the cup and touched his chin.

"The arrival of Jia Dongxu's wife is also strange. She was brought back by Jia Zhang. According to her, this woman was introduced by her relatives in the countryside. However, through observation, we later discovered that this woman seemed to have been abducted from somewhere and bought by Jia Zhang! Because no matter where this woman goes, Jia Zhang will follow her, and Jia Zhang will beat the girl at every turn. The girl just cried and did not dare to resist at all!" Yan Fugui said.

"Bought? How could Jia Zhang have the guts to do such a thing? Human trafficking is illegal! And it shouldn't be difficult for Jia Dongxu to find a wife? How did he end up having to buy a wife?" Zhao Cheng asked curiously.

"Hey, what you said is all old news. Not long after Jia Dongxu divorced Wang Yuzhi, he started going out to play cards, and he became more and more addicted, often playing cards with others all night long! This incident is probably related to the fact that he was not in the mood after playing cards all night. This kid is getting more and more useless! He is famous in this area and even in the entire steel rolling mill. So no one introduced him to a partner, so I guess Jia Zhang would spend money to buy him a wife!" Yan Fugui's analysis was very reasonable, but Zhao Cheng estimated that what Yan Fugui said was true.

Because this operation is very Jia Zhangshi. Zhao Cheng is wondering whether he should take care of this matter?

"Has no one in the hospital thought about reporting Jia Zhang?" Zhao Cheng asked curiously.

"Who dares? After you left, this courtyard will almost become the Jia family's. Jia Zhang is getting more and more rampant. She will sit at the door and scold anyone who offends her! It can be as ugly as it can be!" Yan Fugui said.
