Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

Just hearing it makes you excited, and you can't wait to get back into Yundong.

But to Xu Damao, it sent chills down his spine.

Looking back at the squad leader, Xu Damao pleaded for help: "The steel mill is just trying to bully us. Are we soldiers so easy to bully?"

The junior officer didn't think there was anything wrong with shouting.

Yang Jianguo also shouted, and he shouted it particularly well, with great momentum.

We should try to persuade him to join our team.

With him leading the team, it will surely grow stronger and more united.

"Just shout one sentence after me, I'll go first." The soldier jumped down and shouted, "Charge! Find the capitalists!"

This slogan makes us proud; this is exactly what we're going to do.

What can't be said?

Not only should you speak, but you should speak loudly.

Let everyone hear that capitalism will not be allowed to grow and spread on this land.

Full of passion, it sounds especially good.

But it was different from the sound I heard before.

Others joined in, shouting, "Charge! Find the capitalists!"

Seeing the soldiers successively testify, Xu Damao resignedly closed his eyes.

He wanted to provoke conflict to avoid proving himself.

Unexpectedly, these fools were busy proving themselves.

How can he possibly hide now?!

Chapter 260 Taking him down on the spot, Old Yang's sense of responsibility

"Charge! Find them, capitalists!" Xu Damao said in a high-pitched, sarcastic tone, which aroused suspicion.

Yang Jianguo didn't even need to say anything more. The soldier rushed up, grabbed him by the collar, and shouted, "Speak louder, shout like this!"

"Charge! Find the capitalists!" The excited tone was filled with anger.

Xu Damao's behavior was too deliberate; it was as if he was clearly saying, "It was me who shouted it."

"I...I'm not me." Xu Damao mustered his courage and looked up at him stubbornly.

The soldier loosened his collar and said, "Then shout it out loud, just like me."

Helpless, Xu Damao took a deep breath, clinging to the last glimmer of hope: "Charge! Find the capitalists!"

Quiet!

Many people at the scene couldn't tell whether it was him who shouted it.

At that time, everyone was in a state of high excitement.

It sounds similar, but it also feels a bit different.

"it's him."

Behind Yang Jianguo, two workers pointed at Xu Damao almost simultaneously: "That's the one who shouted it, I remember that sound."

Upon hearing someone say that, the soldiers in the group also held their tongues: "Well, he seemed to be next to me just now, and he was the one who shouted."

Why didn't you say so just now?

"I'm not sure, I'm afraid of wrongly accusing an innocent person."

Although the soldiers were stirred up with patriotic fervor, it doesn't mean they had lost all conscience and judgment.

This person is clearly using them intentionally to incite confrontation.

Hearing this, Yang Jianguo had a better understanding: "I'm quite curious, why did you come to the steel rolling mill?"

The soldier in charge paused for a moment, then said, "Someone reported that capitalists are being harbored inside."

"Who reported it, and what evidence do they have?"

"Everyone knows the reputation of Hongxing Factory. We have hardworking and dedicated workers here."

"Capitalists? Do you think someone raised in that kind of family can endure this kind of hardship?"

Iron Man isn't someone you can just sit there and enjoy, sipping tea and reading the newspaper.

The workers were very unhappy about being labeled as capitalist roaders: "That's right, everyone knows the reputation of our factory."

"You're making contributions here every day, but you've been labeled a rightist. Heh~ How interesting."

It's understandable that the masters harbor resentment.

They were turned into enemies for no reason. Where can I go to seek justice?

Each gentle rebuke left the leading soldier blushing; he hadn't really paid attention to all the details.

“I think you’ve been taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives.” Yang Jianguo looked at him sincerely. “Think about the process carefully. Does it seem reasonable?”

Once a seed of doubt is planted in your mind, nothing you see will seem right.

"Who reported this first?" the soldier shouted as he returned to the front of the column. "Someone is using us to achieve their own shameful personal goals."

"Anyone who knows anything about this, report it immediately. Otherwise, if it's discovered, he'll be an accomplice, a lackey!"

Upon hearing this, someone immediately stopped in their tracks: "Wang He, he was the one who reported it first."

"Zhang Xiao was also involved."

"Hao Meimei was involved too, and she told me herself."

The faces of the seven or eight soldiers who were called out turned ashen.

"Make way, make way." The police are here.

After understanding the situation, Xu Damao was taken away, along with the others who were called out by name.

As for Granny Jia, it was confirmed that she was gone, and the specific reason for her death was also confirmed.

That's left to the family to handle; how to deal with the aftermath is up to Qin Huairu.

The soldiers dispersed, and the leader was filled with shame and embarrassment.

He still came up to Yang Jianguo and apologized, saying, "Master Yang, I'm sorry about this."

The commotion has already happened, and the person is gone. What's the point of saying anything more?

"I hope you will remember this lesson and not be taken advantage of by malicious people again."

After watching the soldiers leave the factory area, everyone gathered around them again.

"Master Yang, what should we do?" There's still Granny Jia in front of us, we have to find a way to deal with her.

Qin Huairu is heartbroken.

Yang Jianguo is her mentor, so who else should she ask?

Yang Jianguo looked at Qin Huairu beside him and asked, "Huairu, what are you going to do?"

"I plan to find someone to send my mother back to the countryside so that she can be laid to rest."

Qin Huairu wiped away her tears, stood up and said, "This is also my mother's wish, to return to her roots."

The saying "fallen leaves return to their roots" is true.

Yang Jianguo didn't need to guess to know Jia Pozi's wish: she wanted to die in the city.

Bury her in the countryside, and don't visit her even once every ten or eight years?

Therefore, Qin Huairu was still angry.

But since the person is gone, where to bury them is up to Qin Huairu.

Send her back to her hometown and bury her with her family.

That's clearly fulfilling one's filial duty.

If you add a little extra pomp and circumstance, no one can find fault with it.

Oh, right.

In the current climate, there's no point in making a big show of things, so let's skip it!

Then we'll have to find two people to take them back, and then we'll have another cry with the child.

Done!

After the soldiers left, Director Yang, the chief director, and the administrative staff who had been hiding earlier also arrived.

Seeing Granny Jia on the ground, and then looking at Qin Huairu all alone.

I felt terrible; now I was truly all alone.

"Qin Huairu." Director Yang thought for a moment and said, "No matter what, the incident happened at the factory."

"You... it's not easy for you either."

Factory Director Yang glanced at her and instructed the accountant, "Calculate the compensation according to the normal work injury compensation ratio and pay her the money as soon as possible."

With Director Yang's instructions, the accountant naturally had no objections.

Qin Huairu felt a mix of joy and sorrow; she was truly blessed to have such a mother-in-law.

Even if she's gone, she's still valuable!

According to the normal work injury compensation ratio, the factory should pay at least 230 or 240 yuan.

With this money, plus the money that Granny Jia had secretly hidden away for coffins...

—I'm so rich!

Qin Huairu felt that she wouldn't have to worry about her son's future marriage and house purchase.

An absurd farce ended with Granny Jia's death.

Recalling the conflict, Yang Jianguo felt a lingering fear, thankfully nothing serious happened.

If a worker or soldier gets into an accident, the follow-up procedures won't be so simple.

However, we still have to thank Zhang Yu for her decisive action.

"As expected of someone specifically assigned, he made a decisive decision and showed great courage!" Yang Jianguo gave a thumbs up and praised him lavishly.

Director Yang and the chief director also praised her repeatedly, saying that it would have been a pity if she hadn't appeared in time.

Bang, bang, bang! Three blows came straight to the sky.

Whether today's situation can be resolved amicably is anyone's guess.

Zhang Yu joked, "These are all minor incidents, not worth mentioning."

"Hey, you can't say that," Factory Director Yang said seriously. "Mistakes must be punished, and merits must be rewarded!"

"Later, I think we can ask Team Leader Zhang Yu to give us a report, to talk about her experiences and lessons learned, so that everyone can know how to deal with emergencies."

Director Yang agreed with the chief's suggestion. "Jianguo, what do you think?"

Yang Jianguo smiled and said, "I think it's a good idea."

Zhang Yu's performance today may seem unremarkable.

Not everyone can make a quick decision and muster the courage to do it.

Just look at those three blasts today; the report alone will be dozens of pages long.

You should also describe in detail your thoughts and judgments at the time, and the circumstances under which you made those judgments.

It must be reasonable and based on evidence.

Moreover, the identities of soldiers and workers cannot be treated in the usual way.

Whether it's right or wrong, it's ultimately not up to Zhang Yu or the factory to decide.

Therefore, Zhang Yu took a huge risk by stepping forward.

This courage to take responsibility is not something everyone possesses.
