Siheyuan: Starting from a Truck Driver

Li Weidong couldn't help but sneer when he heard this. Wasn't this implying that he had raped Zhou Rong?

"Old comrade, I hope you can understand that I have nothing to do with your Zhou Rong. If it weren't for her wanting to elope with that ** poet, we would never have met. At your age, don't you even know right from wrong? You treat your daughter as a treasure, but to me, she is nothing. Instead of entangled with me here, you might as well go home and educate her well!"

When Zhou Zhigang heard what Li Weidong said, his face suddenly turned pale, because Li Weidong was obviously accusing Zhou Rong of actively seducing him. Where would he put his face?

At this time, Zhou Rong also stepped forward and gently pulled the corner of Zhou Zhigang's clothes: "Dad, don't worry about this matter."

Zhou Zhigang turned around and looked at Zhou Rong. If his youngest son Zhou Bingkun was here, he might have taken action long ago. But this was Zhou Rong. Even in her story, she eloped with the poet to Yunnan and became pregnant, Zhou Zhigang never took action against her.

"Rongrong, do you really want to go to Beijing so much?"

Zhou Rong nodded and said, "I want to see the outside world. Jichun is too young and I can't see the future."

Zhou Zhigang sighed. His daughter had been arrogant since she was young, but she was also an excellent student. Even if there were outstanding children like Cai Xiaoguang to help their family, she still looked down on him.

Zhou Zhigang felt helpless in the face of such a daughter. His daughter had grown up, so he let her go. When she ran into a wall, she would naturally come back.

Looking at Li Weidong, Zhou Zhigang forced a smile and said, "Comrade, how about you give our Zhou Rong a ride? Don't worry about the fare."

Li Weidong sneered. He didn't want to bring Zhou Rong, this trouble, with him anymore. Once he brought her back to the capital, this woman would definitely refuse to leave.

As a literary young woman, her way of thinking is different from that of ordinary people, and anything can happen, so it is best to stay as far away from her as possible.

"Car fare? Do I still need that little money from you? Get out of here now, or I'll be rude to you if you don't leave!" Li Weidong said impatiently.

Zhou Zhigang was so angry that he was speechless: "You, how could you be like this? Don't you even understand the principle of 'helping others, you will also help yourself'?"

“I really don’t understand!” Li Weidong rolled his eyes and waved to the police next to him: “You two, I have urgent matters to attend to and I don’t have time to bother with them. You should just take the person away!”

The police had no choice but to step forward again. Li Weidong was right, we should not delay others' work.

"Comrade Zhou Zhigang, let's go. Family education can be carried out at home. Don't make trouble here!"

Zhou Zhigang looked at Li Weidong who got into the car, then looked at the policeman beside him. Helplessly, he had to pull Zhou Rong away.

"Girl, I'll buy you a train ticket to Beijing later. We won't take the bus anymore, okay?"

Zhou Rong stared at Li Weidong firmly, without moving.

Zhou Zhigang had no choice but to grit his teeth and forcibly take Zhou Rong away.

Seeing this scene, Li Weidong started the car immediately, fearing that if he was slow, Zhou Rong would catch up with him.

But he underestimated Zhou Rong's determination. As soon as the car accelerated and Li Weidong had no time to change gears, another figure appeared in front of him. This frightened Li Weidong and he stepped on the brakes. If Li Weidong and Niu Meng hadn't worn seat belts, this collision might have been dangerous.

This scene shocked the people around them, and the two policemen were so nervous that they were sweating profusely, worried that a fatal accident would happen under their noses, with disastrous consequences.

Zhou Zhigang's eyes went dark and he fainted. Only Zhou Rong, who was standing in front of the car, had a blank expression on her face, and didn't seem to be afraid at all.

Li Weidong got out of the car angrily and walked towards Zhou Rong. But Niu Meng was faster than him. Before Li Weidong could get close, she arrived first and slapped Zhou Rong hard, knocking her to the ground.

"Are you sick? If you want to die, stay away from us and don't come here to harm us! I think the master should just hit you to death. People like you deserve to be cheated! You talk about those ** things with those unreliable poets all day long and do nothing serious. If I were your father, I would have sent you to the countryside for reform long ago!"

Niu Meng's words exposed Zhou Rong's motives. Originally, the people in Guangziban only knew that Zhou Rong ran away from home, but did not know that she was going to Beijing to find a poet. Now everything has been revealed by Niu Meng.

Since then, Zhou Rong has become a laughing stock. Not only in Guangzi, but also in Jichun, people are talking about her. Zhou Zhigang saw that people around him began to whisper. In a hurry, he pushed Niu Meng and shouted angrily: "What are you talking about? Beating people is fine, but you actually slander others? What did your family teach you?" Li Weidong saw that Zhou Zhigang dared to hit Niu Meng, and he was furious. He kicked Zhou Zhigang to the ground without hesitation. "It's not your turn to teach my apprentice. If you don't discipline your own daughter strictly, what's wrong with others helping to discipline her?" Li Weidong said, while pulling Niu Meng, pointing to the bruise on her forehead and said: "Look at this, this is all caused by your daughter. Although it looks like a scratch on the surface, who knows if there will be a concussion? Do you want to go to the hospital for a check-up?" Zhou Zhigang moved his lips when he heard this, but he didn't respond in the end. He didn't know what a concussion was, but he knew that once he went to the hospital, it would cost a lot of money. He was about to go to the Southwest Third Line to support construction, and was planning to leave more funds at home. How could he squander it casually? Zhou Zhigang grabbed Zhou Rong and wanted to leave. However, he did not notice that the police would not stand idly by. A tragedy almost happened just now. This is not a trivial matter. They will never let it go and must punish Zhou Rong severely. At this time, the police have already regarded Zhou Rong as a mental patient. If she is not mentally ill, how could she do such a thing? "Zhou Zhigang, is it? You and your daughter come with me to the police station!" The police said to Zhou Zhigang. Zhou Zhigang panicked, and Zhou Rong grabbed his clothes tightly and dared not speak anymore. "No, officer, this is just a misunderstanding, my daughter..." Zhou Zhigang was interrupted by the police before he finished speaking. The police said expressionlessly: "Whether it is a misunderstanding or not is not up to you. We all saw it just now. She dared to do this. If we were not here, would she threaten the driver with a knife to take her to Beijing?" Zhou Zhigang was shocked. Zhou Rong could indeed do such a thing. But if she really went to the police station, her reputation would be completely ruined. So, he made up his mind and said, "Officer, why don't I go to the police station? My daughter is still young, and I am willing to take responsibility for this matter." The two policemen laughed after hearing this, "Responsibility? Can you afford it? What do you think of the law? My daughter made a mistake, and you let your father take the blame. If we agree today, we will not only lose face, but also our spine will be broken. Do you have such a big face? You still want to command us?" Zhou Zhigang lowered his head. He was not an ignorant person, but he would say such words in anxiety. He was about to explain, but Li Weidong next to him added fuel to the fire. "Officer, I think you should take some practical actions. This father and daughter will not listen to human words at all. If you don't leave now, they will spend the night in the wild. There are important materials in the car. If something goes wrong and delays the production task, I will be a sinner of the country!" After hearing Li Weidong's serious words, the police dared not delay any longer. As Li Weidong said, they directly confronted Zhou Zhigang and asked: "Do you want to go with me voluntarily, or do you want me to drag you with shackles?" Zhou Zhigang was startled and quickly replied: "Comrade, don't be violent, we are willing to go to the police station to cooperate with you." Even Zhou Rong dared not be stubborn anymore. If something really happened, it would be a stain on her life. When leaving, Zhou Rong frequently looked back at Li Weidong. Seeing this, Li Weidong was sure that she did have a problem. In order to avoid trouble again, he hurriedly called Niu Meng to get in the car. After Zhou Rong was taken away, no one stopped him on the road. Li Weidong and Niu Meng left the city smoothly and rushed towards the capital. When the familiar streets appeared again, about a day and a half had passed. They arrived in the capital before noon, and perhaps they could catch lunch at the steel mill. During this time, the master and apprentice only ate dry food to survive. Because of the cold weather, they did not get off the car, but just gnawed hard, almost grinding their teeth. When thinking of food, Niu Meng thought of the pig they brought back, and couldn't help but say to Li Weidong: "Master, do you think Zhuangzhuang has been eaten?" Li Weidong calculated the time and shook his head and said: "It should not have been. According to the plan, the pig will be slaughtered tomorrow, and we can still catch up." Niu Meng breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, if we miss it, we will lose a lot." Li Weidong smiled and said: "You have eaten pork before, don't think I don't know that Captain Niu brings back meat almost every few days. How can your share be less?" Niu Meng pouted and said: "How can it be the same? We pulled this pig back from Nanshi Commune!" "Yes, yes, it's different!" The master and apprentice talked all the way and returned to the gate of the steel mill. Director Yang did not send anyone to greet him. He explained that he had finally won the quota for the first batch of machine supply. If he was too ostentatious, other factories would be jealous and didn't know what kind of tricks would be used, so he should keep a low profile. However, when the truck entered the steel mill, Director Yang learned the news and instructed the security staff to notify Li Weidong to send the machine directly to the outside of the first workshop. Li Weidong naturally had no objection to this. When they arrived outside a workshop, Director Yang, Deputy Director Li and a group of factory leaders were already waiting. As soon as Li Weidong got off the car, Director Yang held his hand tightly and shook it vigorously. "Weidong, thank you for your hard work. Did you encounter any trouble along the way?" Li Weidong did not hide anything and told about his experience in Jichun and the conflict with Tu Zhiqiang. Although the matter had been reported, the feeling of telling it in person was completely different from that of reporting it over the phone. After listening, Director Yang nodded and said, "I know, it's not a big problem. This is a brave act. I would definitely teach those beasts a lesson in the early years." Li Weidong nodded in agreement, knowing that Director Yang was not joking. Director Yang was a person during the Anti-Japanese War, and what he hated most was the bullying of the people. Did the workers work hard to save the people from the water and fire for these beasts to make trouble? At lunch, Li Weidong rarely enjoyed the central kitchen with the leaders. It was impossible to have a small kitchen, which was only available when entertaining foreign leaders, and he was not qualified to do so. The main dish was chicken stewed with mushrooms. He Yuzhu's cooking skills were indeed amazing, and even the soup base was eaten up completely.
