Siheyuan: Being a fisherman in 1962

"Separate these two people and take them to the office!" Director Yang gave an order, and the security guard quickly stepped forward, forcibly separated the two people who were still wrestling, and tied them up tightly with ropes.

When Sha Zhu and Ma Hua were taken away, their eyes were filled with unwillingness and resentment, as if the fight had just begun, not ended.

With the departure of the two, the courtyard returned to peace, but an indescribable tension and depression still lingered in the air.

Chen Fei secretly decided that no matter what the truth was, he would uncover the mystery and restore peace to the cafeteria.

Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai hurried to the outside of the cafeteria, only to see a crowd of people surrounding the place, discussions rising and falling, and an ominous sense of tension in the air.

The two looked at each other, both feeling uneasy. Qin Huairu bit her lower lip tightly, while Yi Zhonghai clenched his fists and unconsciously quickened his pace.

"Have you heard? Sha Zhu and Ma Hua had a fight. The scene was simply..." A female worker described it vividly, her face full of a mixture of fear and curiosity.

Qin Huairu pushed through the crowd and saw Director Yang who was surrounded by everyone. He had a serious expression on his face and was giving orders to a group of hesitant security guards.

Sha Zhu and Ma Hua, the two canteen chefs who seemed harmless on weekdays, were now like two enraged beasts, with disheveled clothes, covered in dust, and an unyielding light flashing in their eyes. Even though they were exhausted, they still confronted each other and refused to compromise.

"Come on, everyone! Separate them!" Director Yang's voice sounded particularly majestic amid the noise. He knew very well that if this matter was not handled properly, it would have immeasurable impact on the factory.

The six security guards received the order, looked at each other, and finally gritted their teeth, holding the ropes and approaching cautiously.

However, the scene before them was far worse than they had imagined.

The traces left by the fight were horrifying, the ground was in a mess, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of blood and sweat, which made people feel nauseous.

The guards hesitated and took heavier steps, fearing that they would become victims of the chaos if they were not careful.

At this moment, Sha Zhu and Ma Hua seemed to have exhausted their last bit of strength at the same time. Their bodies staggered a few steps involuntarily and finally collapsed to the ground powerlessly. The invisible tension between them also dissipated.

Upon seeing this, the security guards rushed forward and tied up the two men tightly in a lightning speed.

"Although I, Sha Zhu, participated in those bad things, I definitely did not do the poisoning!" Sha Zhu was tied up tightly, but he still did not forget to defend himself loudly, with determination and innocence flashing in his eyes.

Ma Hua had a complicated expression, showing relief but also confusion about the future. He remained silent, just staring into the distance, as if thinking about something.

Upon seeing this, Director Yang frowned and made some calculations in his mind.

This matter must not be dealt with carelessly. It must be thoroughly investigated to clear the factory's name and give an explanation to everyone.

"Take them to the security room and keep them under strict supervision. At the same time, immediately set up a special task force to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the canteen poisoning case!" Director Yang's voice resounded throughout the venue, loud and clear, leaving no room for doubt.

As Sha Zhu and Ma Hua were escorted away, the crowd gradually dispersed, but the discussions lingered for a long time.

Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai stood there, looking at the receding figure, a trace of worry flashed in their eyes, while Yi Zhonghai clenched his fists, as if secretly vowing to find out the truth and clear Sha Zhu's name.

Inside the factory compound, the sunlight seemed to be overshadowed by this sudden scandal.

At this moment, Sha Zhu was standing at the edge of the crowd with his head down, an unprecedented look of shame and confusion on his face.

The stains on his clothes that were originally mistaken for mud gradually revealed their true colors amid the whispers of the crowd - they were the remains of feces. An indescribable stench filled the air, as if even the wind was mocking his misfortune.

Ma Hua, the good friend who usually fights side by side with Sha Zhu, also looks embarrassed at this moment. The two looked at each other in silence, their eyes full of uncertainty and fear about the future.

This sudden change not only made them lose the dignity of working in the cafeteria, but also made them a new laughing stock in the factory and a topic of conversation among everyone after dinner.

The news spread quickly to every corner of the factory as if it had wings.

The workers gathered in groups of three or five, talking about the incident. Some sympathized, some laughed, and more people were just waiting to watch the fun, waiting for the next development of the incident.

Qin Huairu, the gentle yet tough woman, turned pale as paper in an instant after hearing the news.

If Sha Zhu falls into deeper trouble or even faces imprisonment because of this incident, it will cause an immeasurable blow to her family.

At the same time, Yi Zhonghai, as a veteran of the factory, knows that Sha Zhu's experience is closely related to his own interests. Once Sha Zhu falls, the network of relationships he has painstakingly built may be broken.

So, Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai, two people who originally had some intersection due to interests, had to join forces to find a way out for Sha Zhu under the push of fate.

Qin Huairu knocked on Yi Zhonghai's door.

The moment the door opened, their eyes met, and without further words, they knew each other's intentions.

Qin Huairu said softly: "Master Yi, we can't just sit there and do nothing. We have to find a way to help Sha Zhu."

Yi Zhonghai nodded, frowning, and after thinking for a moment, he slowly said: "This matter is of great importance and needs to be considered carefully. First of all, we need to find out the truth behind this and see who is behind it."

In the next few days, Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai ran around, on the one hand to comfort Sha Zhu's emotions and encourage him not to give up hope; on the other hand, they secretly investigated the matter and tried to find the mastermind behind it.

And Sha Zhu, after experiencing the initial despair, gradually cheered up. He understood that only by becoming strong could he get out of the predicament and protect those who cared about him.

Finally, on a stormy night, Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai's efforts paid off.

They discovered that all this was done by a villain in the factory who was jealous of Sha Zhu's talent and was willing to frame him in order to compete for the position of canteen manager.

The evidence was conclusive and the man was dealt with personally by the factory director, and the injustice of Sha Zhu and Ma Hua was cleared.

The news spread throughout the factory again, but this time, people were more impressed and sympathetic towards Sha Zhu.

Sha Zhu, the man who was once misunderstood and ridiculed, won everyone's respect with his tenacity and wisdom.

During this process, Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai established a deeper friendship and witnessed together the whole process of Sha Zhu's rise from lows to rebirth.

After the rain, the sky cleared up. Sha Zhu stood on the factory playground, looking at the sky that was made brighter by the rain, his heart filled with unprecedented determination and hope.
