Siheyuan starts to activate the task system

Zhang Yuan quickly thought of a solution. Sha Zhu was a soft-hearted person. If he only targeted Sha Zhu, it would be difficult for him to learn his lesson. After all, Qin Huairu was a scheming woman. Even if Sha Zhu realized his mistake and vowed to reform, he would still be easily deceived by Qin Huairu's tears. In this case, it would be better to take advantage of the situation and deal with Qin Huairu as well. So, Zhang Yuan whispered a few words in Xu Wei's ear and asked his uncle to help.

Now that everything is ready, Zhang Yuan only needs to sit back and wait for developments. He believes that with Qin Huairu's greed, she will never let Sha Zhu go.

Sure enough, on the fourth day, something big happened at the steel mill.

Sha Zhu was caught and taken down on the spot by the security department. It was said that he stole a 10-jin bag of flour and a 3-jin piece of pork belly. Moreover, this was not the first time that Sha Zhu stole things from the factory. He had stolen ingredients from the factory canteen before. This time, he was caught again.

In addition to Sha Zhu, Qin Huairu was also arrested. The two of them stole things from the factory. Sha Zhu wanted to send some food to Qin Huairu's family, so he stole these things. However, some people with bad intentions found out that the matter was even more serious. Sha Zhu gave all the leftovers that he cut off for the workers every day to Qin Huairu's family. This ignited the workers' anger. When they thought that they were not able to eat enough because of Qin Huairu, they asked the security department to deal with the two.

The two were taken back to the security department. Qin Huairu cried all the way and kept saying that she was innocent and that she was forced to accept Sha Zhu's things, but she didn't expect that they were stolen goods by Sha Zhu.

Qin Huairu put on an innocent look and cried so hard that people couldn't help but feel distressed. She choked and said, "I really don't know! He said it was given by his factory, how could I know it was stolen? I have no choice, my family has many children and we are too poor..." She wiped her tears while speaking, and her pitiful appearance made the workers around her sympathize with her.

However, the security department was unmoved. They were not easy to fool. After years of work experience, they had already trained their eyes to see through Qin Huairu's thoughts at a glance.

The security personnel looked at Qin Huairu coldly, laughing in their hearts. When they were lying in ambush and waiting to arrest her, they had already heard the conversation between Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu clearly. Qin Huairu was not a victim at all, but a mastermind who deceived the silly Sha Zhu to commit the crime.

"Okay, stop pretending! We all heard your conversation, and you still dare to quibble?" The security department staff bluntly exposed Qin Huairu's lies.

Qin Huairu's face changed, knowing that her acting skills had been discovered. She gritted her teeth and decided to continue to play dumb and try to get away with it. But the security department didn't give her a chance at all, and directly took her and Sha Zhu back to the security department for further investigation.

Sha Zhu walked in silence, his head lowered, his heart was tangled. Especially when he was caught just now, Qin Huairu bit him back without hesitation in order to shirk responsibility. This action made Sha Zhu feel that his sincerity and kindness were in vain, as if he was bitten by a ruthless vicious dog. At this moment, his mind kept replaying everything that had happened in the past, wondering if what he had done was really worth it.

"Shazhu, why don't you say something! Just admit that you did it alone. I can't let anything happen to me! Our family is already in financial difficulty. If we lose our jobs because of this, all of us, young and old, will have to beg on the streets. Think about Banggeng, he's a well-behaved child, you've always liked him, can you bear to see him work hard all his life like me and become a street sweeper because he has no money to go to school?" Qin Huairu said anxiously. Now Qin Huairu tried to persuade Shazhu to take all the charges. Anyway, this time it was all because he didn't realize that he was being monitored that he was implicated. Shazhu should bear the consequences alone.

However, Qin Huairu forgot that it was only a matter of time. If this incident had not broken out today, it would have been exposed one day in the future. After all, her greed had reached its limit, and she always tried to gain benefits through improper means. She never worked hard to improve herself, but instead instigated Sha Zhu to steal the factory's property again and again, which eventually led to today's unmanageable situation. At this moment, she only wanted Sha Zhu to bear all the blame in order to keep her current job. She knew very well how much hatred and resentment Jia Zhang and Bang Geng would have towards her if she lost this job. And these consequences were absolutely unbearable for her.

Sha Zhu was troubled by Qin Huairu's words, but he did not notice the resentment in her words. He was in an extreme struggle.

Finally, they arrived at the security department door, and the two were forcibly separated and interrogated individually.

On the other side, another group of people from the Security Department went to the courtyard, preparing to search the Jia family's house.

"Open the door!"

"Who is it? Knocking on the door so late at night." Jia Zhang opened the door cursing, and was stunned when she saw a group of people standing at the door.

"We are from the security department of the steel rolling mill. Someone has reported that your Jia family has stolen things from the factory. Please cooperate with the investigation." said a member of the security department.

"Nonsense! How could our family steal things from the factory? Did you make a mistake?" Jia Zhang said innocently.

"We'll know if you're kidding if you go in and take a look." The security officer said as he was about to enter the house to search.

Jia Zhang hurriedly stopped them: "No! This is my home, you can't just barge in."

"Get out of the way! Otherwise we'll arrest you too!" The security officer glared at Jia Zhang, scaring her so much that she quickly dodged.

The security department rushed into the house and began to search through the boxes and cabinets. Soon, they found several bags of rice and flour, as well as some canned meat and other food in the kitchen.

"What is this?" The security officer picked up a bag of rice and asked Jia Zhang.

"This...we bought it ourselves." Jia Zhang replied stutteringly.

"Oh? Really? Then why is the words 'Red Star Third Steel Rolling Plant' printed on the bag?" the security officer asked with a sneer.

Jia Zhang was speechless and didn't know how to answer. At this time, the neighbors in the yard gathered around to watch the fun and pointed at the Jia family.

"So the Jia family really stole things from the factory! How shameless!"

"That's right, no wonder the Jia family eats meat every day recently, so this is how it came about."

"People like this should be arrested and given a good education!"

Hearing the neighbors' gossip, Jia Zhang's face turned very ugly. She knew that this time the matter had become a big deal, and not only would Qin Huairu be in trouble, but she herself would also be implicated. So, she hurriedly ran back to the house, closed the door, hid, and dared not show up again.

At this time, the deaf old lady heard the noise outside and was very anxious. Although she was deaf, her mind was still clear. She quickly asked Auntie to go to the steel mill to find Yi Zhonghai and ask him to find a way to save Sha Zhu.

"Go and tell Lao Yi quickly to find a way to rescue Sha Zhu." The deaf old lady said anxiously.

"Okay, I'll go right away." The aunt nodded, then hurriedly left the courtyard.
