Siheyuan: Craftsmen of a Great Country

"It should be here." Lei Jie took the address provided by the Human Resources Department and compared it carefully.

Jiang Chen nodded: "Knock on the door!"

There was silence inside, no sound at all.

Lei Jie stepped forward and knocked on the door.

It was still quiet inside.

After a while, an angry female voice sounded in the room: "I have driven you to death, what else do you want?"

"Give me a way to survive, please."

It seems that I have found the right place.

Jiang Chen and Lei Jie looked at each other with anger on their faces.

You said you weren't bullying people enough in the workshop, but you also came to people's homes. This is too much.

Lei Jie said: "Auntie, we are from the security department of the No. 3 Steel Rolling Mill. We are here to find out more about the situation."

There was silence for a long time: "No need, you can go."

Jiang Chen whispered: "This is because you don't trust us."

Lei Jie nodded: "Liu Fangming usually uses his power to bully others. I guess they are afraid that we are on the same side as Liu Fangming."

"If that's the case, even if we go in, we won't dare to tell anything for fear of retaliation."

Jiang Chen said: "It depends on human effort."

Then he stepped forward and knocked on the door again: "Auntie, the Ministry of Industry wants to strictly investigate the bullying of workers in the factory, and specially sent us to understand the situation."

"Don't worry, we will handle it impartially and provide justice to Comrade Mingzhi."

"Haha, Ministry of Industry, aren't you all in the same group?" The aunt still didn't believe what they said.

But the door was still open.

The aunt blocked the door and had no intention of inviting them in.

She raised her head and glanced at the two of them. They didn't look like bad people, and she felt a little more at ease.

Jiang Chen took out a newspaper from his bag: "Hello, aunt, my name is Jiang Chen. You see, it's me who the chief is receiving."

The aunt glanced at the newspaper: "I can't read."

Jiang Chen briefly explained: "I am from the engineering department of No. 3 Steel Plant. Because I developed a world-advanced machine tool, I was interviewed by the chief."

The aunt said: "This old man mentioned it once, but he usually doesn't like to talk much, and he didn't go into details."

"But your name is Jiang Chen?"

Jiang Chen nodded: "Yes, take a look."

After saying that, he took out his work certificate from his pocket.

The aunt couldn't read, but she still carefully compared the name in the newspaper with the name on the work permit.

exactly the same.

She had already believed it in her heart: "Comrades, come in!"

After saying that, he opened the door.

After all, the chief’s reception is more reliable.

This is a relatively standard community suite, with a living room, a kitchen, and several bedrooms.

The overall furnishings in the house are quite good, and it seems that the life of Dai Mingzhi's family is not too bad.

Think about it, even if Liu Fangming takes away ten yuan from a sixth-level worker every month, he still has nearly 70 yuan, which is enough for a family to live a good life.

If other people in the family also have rations, life will be more generous.

Besides the aunt, there were three other people in the room.

In the middle of the main room stood an old lady with a wrinkled face. She must be at least nearly 60 years old, which is considered a long life in this era.

The old lady looked sad and her face was full of tears.

Beside the old lady, there was a young girl, gently grabbing her hand.

The girl is very beautiful, presumably Dai Fang, who Liu Fangming covets.

Beside the window in the distance, there was a middle-aged man in his 40s sitting. There was no look of grief on his face, but he was looking out the gloomy window with a serious expression.

Dai Mingzhi's body needed to be examined, so it was not returned.

"Auntie."

"My name is Chen Hui." The aunt introduced herself.

Then he pointed at the people in the room and gave a brief introduction: "Dai Mingzhi's mother, brother Dai Mingcai, and daughter Dai Fang."

"Comrades, if you have any questions, just ask."

Dai Fang was stunned: "Mom!"

Chen Hui said: "It's okay. I've made sure that Comrade Jiang Chen can be trusted."

Dai Fang opened his eyes wide: "Are you Jiang Chen?"

Jiang Chen was a little strange: "Do you know me?"

Dai Fang shook his head: "My dad mentioned you specifically to me, but later..."

At that time, Shi Mingzhi knew that an outstanding young man had come to the factory, so he naturally thought about it.

But later Liu Yue confessed her love in public and had to give up.

Chen Hui said: "Okay, let's not talk about useless things. Comrades, tell me what you want to know."

Jiang Chen nodded: "I shouldn't have come to you at this time, but human lives are at stake, and we need to find out the truth as soon as possible."

Chen Hui turned to Dai Fang and said, "You help grandma into the house to rest first, and I will talk to my comrades about things."

Dai Fang nodded, stood up, helped the old man up, and entered the back room.

The moment the door closed, Chen Hui's tears burst out and flowed down her cheeks.

It seemed that she was trying to stay calm because the old man was there just now.

Now the old man came into the house and couldn't bear it anymore.

Jiang Chen said: "Auntie, please forgive me."

After a while, Chen Hui took a deep breath and choked with sobs: "Okay, you can ask!"

Jiang Chen nodded: "Auntie, tell us what you know first, and then we will add more!"

Chen Hui closed her eyes: "Lao Dai is an honest man, and his education is not high. He is an honest man who doesn't like to talk, and he doesn't speak much at home. Others say that he can't beat a fart with three sap. He is really like this. people."

"But he is down-to-earth in his work and sincere in leading people. That's what I liked about him at the beginning, so I married him. Fortunately, I didn't take it wrong. Although he doesn't like to talk, he is very good to me and his family. good."

"I was bullied in the factory on weekdays, and I didn't say anything when I got home. I saw the injuries on my body, and he said that he had fallen. If Fangfang hadn't gone to the factory and they came to the door, we would have known about it. .”

"The weather was nice that day. Our family went out to bask in the sun, but we forgot to bring the key. Fangfang went to the factory to get the key from her boss, but Liu Fangming stopped her and refused to leave."

"Lao Dai hugged Liu Fangming for the sake of his daughter and told Fangfang to run away. Then he was severely beaten. I can see all those injuries."

Chen Hui wiped her tears and continued: "That night, a group of gangsters in their 20s came to our door and made trouble outside the house. They asked us to marry Fangfang within ten days and enjoy our happiness, otherwise they would kill our whole family. "

"Our family hid in the house and blocked the door with everything we could move."

"They seemed to know the patrol time. When the patrol was coming, they ran away. As soon as the patrol passed, they came out again and kept making noise until late at night."

Lei Jie interrupted: "The neighbors around here, didn't they help call the police station?"

Chen Hui smiled bitterly: "These days, who is willing to do anything to get themselves into trouble? Don't talk about them, even we ourselves don't dare to resist."

"I heard that several of those gangsters are the nephews of the leaders of the steel rolling mill. We don't dare to mess with them. The whole family is talking about the salary of the old generation."

"We must live first."
