A nation's industrial development begins with junior engineers.

Jia Dongxu received a dollar and ran out happily.

They hadn't gone far when they ran into their colleagues from the same workshop. In just a few words, they forgot all about their master's words and found a small tavern to relax.

Yi Zhonghai went home wanting a hot meal, but to his surprise, the old lady, worried about Sha Zhu, hadn't cooked anything. He had no choice but to grab the cornbread he'd had that morning and eat it with some pickled vegetables.

I had just eaten half my fill when I heard another round of wailing and lamentation outside the door.

When I went outside, I saw an older woman supporting a deaf old lady, who was crying her heart out. Beside them stood a young girl, also wiping away tears.

"My poor Zhu Zi, my grandson~~ Nobody cares about you now that you've been arrested~~"

"Poor child~~ Your father entrusted his son to the wrong person~~~"

"There are bad guys in this yard. They watched their own people get arrested without saying a word!"

Yi Zhonghai frowned in annoyance and rubbed his aching lower back.

After a long day, all he wanted was a good night's sleep. But he couldn't help it; he had established himself as a moral paragon in the community.

The old woman crying in the courtyard was the very same deaf old lady whom he had personally helped to elevate his reputation.

If you let the other person keep crying and making a scene, their public image might collapse!

Moreover, judging from the deaf old woman's words, there might be other hidden reasons behind Sha Zhu's arrest!

Yi Zhonghai quickly swallowed the cornbread in his hand in two bites and rushed out the door.

"Grandma, don't worry. I've already sent Dongxu to gather information. I'll go get her as soon as I get news!"

"Rain, you're back but haven't eaten yet, have you? I have two cornbread buns here, have some to tide you over."

Seeing the cornbread that Yi Zhonghai handed her, He Yushui pouted and actually burst into tears.

It turns out that her stomach is still flat even though she just finished school.

The old woman and the deaf old lady were only worried about He Yuzhu's departure; no one cared whether she was still hungry.

"Grandma, you just said someone watched Sha Zhu being taken away? What happened?"

The deaf old woman slammed her cane down in anger: "Third Uncle from the front yard! He's the one who watched our Yuzhu get arrested!"

"Third Uncle! Where's Third Uncle? Come and explain!"

Yi Zhonghai looked around, searching for the figure wearing glasses.

"Third Uncle is cleaning the east wing!"

Yi Zhonghai looked at the person who had spoken and nodded: "Guangtian, you'd better go and call Uncle San. What time is it? Why are you still cleaning the house?"

Liu Guangtian responded and ran out.

"Wait a minute. Isn't the east wing unoccupied? Why is Third Uncle cleaning it?" Yi Zhonghai was a little confused.

Looking around, why are there so few people? Usually, if there's even the slightest disturbance, a whole bunch of people would gather.

Why are there only two or three people nearby?

I went to work for a day, and when I came back, the compound felt so unfamiliar.

Why would Yan Fugui, a man who wouldn't get up early for nothing, voluntarily go and sweep the side rooms?

"Honey, what's going on today? Everything's a mess!"

Seeing that she couldn't avoid the issue, the older woman finally recounted the whole story.

It turned out that when Xu Damao ran towards Jiang Xia and the others...

He Yuzhu also broke free from the old woman's grasp. Xu Damao's shouts seemed to have triggered something in He Yuzhu, and he grabbed a stool from the covered walkway and smashed it at Xu Damao.

Hit the bullseye!

They smashed Xu Damao's head open.

That wasn't all. When Officer Xiao Gao tried to stop him, he ignored the warning and rushed forward to kick Xu Damao in the groin several times.

They were also shouting things like, "If you make it impossible for me to get married, I'll make sure you have no descendants."

Is this okay?

As for what happened before, the master's wife and the others could turn a blind eye. They were all just young men, and they were bound to get into fights.

But we can't ignore what happened next, it's bloody! Especially those kicks, they made Jiang Xia feel sorry for Xu Damao.

When Officer Gao saw that his shouts were useless, he lunged at Sha Zhu, grabbing his upper body tightly and trying to drag him away from Xu Damao.

Perhaps it was because Sha Zhu had been eating well with Li Huaide lately, that he had gained some strength, and with a flick of his body, he managed to break free.

He even yelled at Officer Gao, "Do you know who I work for?! You dare arrest me? Believe me or not, I'll skin you alive!"

Jiang Xia quickly ran over to help Officer Xiao Gao up, intending to sandwich him from both sides.

Unexpectedly, his master's wife moved, with a simple kick and a punch. Sha Zhu knelt on the ground, his mouth open but unable to utter a sound.

He Yuzhu was then handcuffed and taken away from the scene.

Xu Damao was also taken to the steel mill clinic by the cart that the Third Uncle had found.

……

Just as the older woman finished speaking, the older man arrived.

The old man simply shrugged at the group and said, "That's the gist of it. Tell me, how am I supposed to stop them?"

"The police leadership even said that during the National Day holiday, Sha Zhu's crime was compounded."

"I think it won't be long before Sha Zhu comes out."

Yi Zhonghai opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

"That silly Zhu, he really wasn't wrong to call him that!"

"Alright, grandpa, I'll be going now if there's nothing else! I'm busy with other things!"

The old man wiped his sweat and turned to leave. He'd only shoveled half of that pile of Five-Spiritus Oil; he was going to be busy.

"Uncle, wait a minute, what are you doing sweeping the east wing? And what are those two policemen doing in the yard?"

Seeing that Yan Fugui was about to leave, Yi Zhonghai quickly asked the question that had been bothering him.

Yan Fugui impatiently recounted how he met Jiang Xia, omitting their agreement. After speaking, he turned and ran, fearing he would be stopped and waste more time.

"Ugh, they're all such a handful! Jiang Xia? Is that the engineer? But Jiang Xia shouldn't be short of money, right? Could it be just a coincidence of names?"

Yi Zhonghai was still pondering this when the sound of his cane hitting the ground interrupted his thoughts.

"Yi Zhonghai! The old lady has said it, you must get Zhuzi out!" The deaf old lady stared at Yi Zhonghai and said, word by word.

Yi Zhonghai was extremely annoyed and said irritably, "What's there to fish out? He's about to fly to the sky, what do I need to fish out for him?"

"You want to skin the police? I think the police can skin him alive today!"

The deaf old woman was furious at these words. How could she not know that He Yuzhu had gotten himself into big trouble this time? But there was nothing she could do. After all, she had already regarded He Yuzhu as her grandson and was waiting for him to take care of her in her old age.

She was urging Yi Zhonghai to go find Sha Zhu; if he couldn't be found, she would just hang herself.

Just as Yi Zhonghai was feeling frustrated, he suddenly remembered that there was still an old man named Erda in the courtyard. He was usually obsessed with officialdom, so why hadn't he stepped forward to help with this?

Stopping Liu Guangtian, who happened to be passing by, he asked him again. Liu Guangtian told him that his father was working overtime at the steel rolling mill and he didn't know when he would be back.

Yi Zhonghai was so regretful he wanted to bang his head against the wall. It was over; it seemed like there was no hope of getting into the project team.

Before she could finish regretting it, Jia Zhangshi came looking for her son again.

They asked why Jia Dongxu hadn't returned home yet.

Next, one asked Yi Zhonghai for his grandson, and another asked him for his son. He Yushui, standing to the side, asked for her own brother. An older woman occasionally chimed in to help.

It was so noisy and disruptive; for the first time, Yi Zhonghai felt that this old man...

It doesn’t matter if it’s inappropriate!
