Siheyuan starts to activate the task system

In another room, two security guards sat opposite Qin Huairu with serious expressions. This was the second time they had interrogated Qin Huairu, but she still tried to evade responsibility and put all the blame on Sha Zhu. However, this time Qin Huairu didn't know that Sha Zhu was eavesdropping on everything in the next room.

"Name?" asked a security guard.

"Qin Huairu." She replied in a low voice.

"Age?" the security guard continued to ask.

"29 years old." Qin Huairu said nervously.

"Which unit?" The security guard looked at her sharply.

"Comrade, I'm from the steel rolling mill." Qin Huairu hurriedly explained.

"What do you do?" the security guard asked.

"Cleaning team." Qin Huairu said in a low voice.

"Do you know why you were brought here?" the security guard asked sternly.

"Comrade, I am wronged, I am innocent!" Qin Huairu defended herself anxiously.

"Shut up! Whether you have been wronged or not will be determined in the future. Now you have to answer our questions. Remember, leniency will be given to those who confess, and severity will be given to those who resist. Do you understand?" the security guard warned.

"I understand." Qin Huairu lowered her head and answered in a low voice.

"Okay, let me ask you now, based on the situation on that day, were you the one who instigated He Yuzhu to steal the flour and pork belly from the factory?" One of the security guards asked first.

Qin Huairu's heart tightened, but she still pretended to be innocent and immediately stood up to deny: "No, I didn't."

"sit down!"

Qin Huairu sat down quickly, not daring to move or look around anymore.

"You didn't? Do you think you can get away with it by quibbling? We heard it very clearly at the time, and we are all witnesses." Another security guard slammed the table and said loudly.

Qin Huairu's face suddenly turned pale, then blue, and she lowered her head, not daring to speak.

"Hold your head up and tell the truth."

"Yes." Qin Huairu raised her head again, her face full of tear marks, tears kept falling down.

"Explain the matter clearly."

Qin Huairu sobbed and said, "This is my first time..."

"Nonsense! We have already found a lot of evidence in your home. Do you still want to quibble?" The security guard interrupted her and asked sternly.

Qin Huairu was shocked when she heard what the security guard said. She knew that the current situation was very dangerous and she had to come up with a solution as soon as possible. At this time, she also began to regret her previous greedy behavior.

Looking back, when she first encouraged Sha Zhu, she didn't expect that he could steal the flour and pork so easily. From then on, she couldn't help but be tempted, so she began to frequently coax Sha Zhu to do this, fearing that there would be no food at home in the future. If she hadn't been greedy and wanted too much at the time, perhaps things wouldn't have developed to the point where they are today.

But it was too late to regret now. Qin Huairu realized that she could no longer be led by others. She absolutely could not bear these charges, otherwise she would not only lose her job, but also bring a bad reputation to her family. What's worse, if she went to jail for this, it would implicate Bang Geng and prevent him from becoming a cadre.

After careful consideration, Qin Huairu finally made up her mind: no matter what, she must not let herself be implicated. The only way was to wrong Sha Zhu and put all the responsibility on him. Although she felt a little guilty, she felt that this was a necessary sacrifice to protect her family.

She opened her mouth and began to argue, "Yes, I asked Shazhu to steal it that time, but it was my first time. I saw Shazhu bringing lunch boxes home every day in the yard before, and I couldn't help but be tempted. I was greedy, so I went to find Shazhu. Because my family is poor, and my three children need nutrition to grow, so I went to ask Shazhu to give me his lunch boxes every day."

"Wait, what does all this have to do with stealing things from the factory?"

"Comrade, please listen to me first." Qin Huairu seemed to have expected the other party to ask this question. She took a deep breath and said calmly: "You may have heard about the situation in my family. My husband died early, leaving me and my three children to depend on each other. At that time, life was very difficult and the children often didn't have enough food. It was at this time that I met He Yuzhu."

Qin Huairu's voice was filled with a hint of helplessness and sadness, which made people feel pity. She continued to talk, but she changed the subject and began to talk about how Sha Zhu was getting bolder and bolder. Once she saw him steal half a chicken used for hospitality in the factory, and she didn't know what she was thinking at the time. She didn't report him to the company, but concealed it for him. Later, Sha Zhu was afraid that someone would find out, so he put all the stolen things in her house, because there were people at her house every day, so he was not afraid that the things would be lost, and no one would suspect her Jia family.

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes. They didn't expect that the widow who pretended to be pitiful could be so eloquent.

"I know this is wrong, but I had no choice at the time..." Qin Huairu's tears rolled down her cheeks. She choked and said, "The children were hungry, and I really couldn't bear to see them suffer. Besides, the food He Yuzhu gave me were all leftovers that the factory didn't want..."

Everyone was silent. If they hadn't known the truth, they would probably have been moved by Qin Huairu's words about the difficulties of being a mother.

At this moment, Qin Huairu's gaze swept across everyone present, her eyes full of pain and self-blame.

Seeing that the two security guards did not say anything, Qin Huairu thought that she had not explained it clearly, so she started to act out again and began to speak ill of Sha Zhu, saying that she was forced and threatened by Sha Zhu, and that if she did not agree to help Sha Zhu hide the stolen goods, Sha Zhu would abuse and retaliate against her. She kept saying that she was innocent and said a lot of bad things about Sha Zhu, openly and secretly putting the blame on Sha Zhu.

Qin Huairu was like a drama queen. Her performance was so wonderful that the security guards were stunned, as if they really saw Sha Zhu's threats and coercion against her. Her words were like sharp arrows, constantly piercing Sha Zhu, portraying him as a terrible demon. And she herself was the poor victim who needed the protection of the security guards.

"Did you hear that?" Zhang Yuan asked Sha Zhu in the next room.

Sha Zhu looked bewildered, he heard it clearly, but he didn't expect Qin Huairu to say that. At first, when he heard Qin Huairu talking about her own suffering, Sha Zhu really had the urge to take responsibility for her. However, when he heard Qin Huairu constantly pinning the blame on him, Sha Zhu felt that all his hard work and kindness had been wasted.
