Siheyuan: Cooking journey

"What do you want to do in broad daylight? Are you trying to bully a widow like me? Someone come quickly..."

Qin Huairu looked nervous, shouted for help, and backed away step by step holding the bag in her hand.

When she shouted, the security guards seemed a little at a loss, and no one dared to move forward.

Once you are accused of bullying a woman in public, at the very least you will be labeled a hooligan.

"useless!"

Deputy Factory Director Li cursed inwardly when he saw this, and then he stepped forward and snorted coldly:

"Qin Huairu, stop yelling. I suspect you stole something from the factory. Hand over the bag now."

"I do not……"

Qin Huairu took a few steps back in panic and held the bag tighter in her hands.

Just now, several security guards suddenly surrounded her and really scared her.

But when she saw Deputy Director Li, she calmed down a little.

She spent the entire afternoon in the cafeteria thinking about how to explain the misunderstanding between her and Deputy Director Li.

I was extremely anxious before and always wanted to explain everything to He Yuzhu.

When she thought about the whole thing carefully, she realized that the matter was far more complicated than she had imagined.

If I can't explain it clearly, I will definitely be pointed at and ridiculed in the steel mill in the future.

Sooner or later, these rumors will reach the ears of the children and the mother-in-law.

How should she face the child then?

If you are really forced by life and have to do this out of helplessness, then there is nothing to say and you can only bear it silently.

But she felt very wronged that she was being accused and despised for no reason even though she had done nothing.

On the way home from get off work, she often heard other people's discussions. Those unbearable words were like heavy hammers hitting her heart.

Originally, she always felt that for the sake of her children, even if that day really came, it would not be a big deal. At most she would be scolded, but that would be it. As long as the child could eat his fill, it would be fine.

But when she was really stigmatized and experienced the feeling of being disliked, she realized that she never wanted to face such a life, and no woman would be willing to bear such a stigma.

But now that things have come to this, rumors are spreading, how can we clarify them!

She couldn't think of a solution or prove her innocence, and felt very desperate.

But at this moment, seeing Deputy Director Li coming to her door in a threatening manner, she suddenly had an idea.

People were talking about her and looking down on her because of the transfer notice signed by Deputy Director Li. They all thought that the two of them had a special and good relationship.

What if their relationship was not good? If she was forced to commit suicide by Deputy Director Li, who would still believe that they had a relationship?

The sun was setting and it was the rush hour to get off work. Workers were walking out one after another after taking a shower. When they saw the scene at the door, most of them stopped and watched.

Qin Huairu looked around with her eyes downcast. She had made up her mind and her expression became even more flustered.

"You, don't spit blood at me, I didn't steal anything from the factory."

"You said I didn't steal it? You treat me like a three-year-old kid. Hand over the bag and don't force me to do it."

Deputy Director Li felt that Qin Huairu was under his control and could be manipulated at will.

He was leisurely and contented, as pleased with himself as a cat playing with a mouse.

As more and more workers gathered around, he became more and more proud. As long as he found leftovers in her bag in public, the crime of stealing factory property would be proven, and even Director Yang would not be able to save her.

Of course, if Qin Huairu is willing to give in.

As a whistleblower, it would not be difficult for her to stay in the factory and not be fired if he said a few good words to her at the factory meeting and gave her a chance to mend her ways.

Otherwise, humph.

Deputy Director Li sneered and took a step forward.

"Qin Huairu, you'd better be sensible and take the things out yourself. This will only be handled internally by the factory. If you don't cooperate, we will hand you over to the relevant department."

"I didn't take anything, why are you accusing me?"

Qin Huairu had a sad look on her face. She stepped back in panic and suddenly fell to the ground. Tears instantly burst out of her eyes, causing the crowd to talk.

"What's going on? Aren't Deputy Director Li and Qin Huairu in that kind of relationship? Why are you accusing her of stealing things?"

"Yeah, that's weird. Is he turning his back on me? Shouldn't I protect her?"

"What's going on? Did we misunderstand Qin Huairu? The transfer notice signed by Deputy Director Li doesn't necessarily mean they are related. After all, he is in charge of the canteen, and he signs all the canteen transfers."

"It seems like they are serious. Could it be that Deputy Director Li transferred Liu Lan not for her? This is really strange."

……

Listening to these discussions,

Qin Huairu cried even more sadly.

Hearing the same discussions, Deputy Director Li frowned and looked gloomy.

Normally, no one dared to gossip in front of him. This was the first time he heard these rumors.

What a mess.

He didn't get to eat the fish, but got himself stained with the fishy smell. Deputy Director Li valued his reputation the most, so how could he tolerate this? He immediately shouted:

“Anyone who continues to talk nonsense, slander or spread rumors will be criticized and denounced at a struggle session;

"Transferring Qin Huairu to the cafeteria was a decision made by the factory and had nothing to do with me personally. I was just the person who followed the order.

"What saddens me is that first Liu Lan stole the factory's property, and then Qin Huairu's first day at work in the cafeteria also had a problem like this;

“This is a betrayal of the trust of the factory and everyone else. Protecting factory property is everyone’s responsibility. Let’s all be here to bear witness today.

"The factory will never tolerate theft by its employees. You, you, and you, several female comrades, come here and snatch Qin Huairu's bag and inspect it carefully."

The female workers who were called out were a little confused and hesitated whether to do as asked.

Qin Huairu was also stunned and almost forgot to cry.

She didn't expect that Deputy Director Li would suddenly prove his innocence, and she originally wanted to ram her head into the factory gate to prove her death.

This seems to be a good approach. With Deputy Director Li's self-evidence and so many people witnessing it with their own eyes, those rumors will be refuted and her reputation will be completely cleared.

"You are framing me. I didn't steal anything."

Qin Huairu sobbed and retorted, looking even more panicked.

Deputy Director Li sneered at her, furious.

At this moment, Qin Huairu looked so weak and helpless when she was crying, which made people feel distressed.

Deputy Director Li felt a twisted pleasure from it.
