70's Raising a Child: I'm done with cannon fodder female supporting roles

Chapter 23 Proving Innocence
Shen Nanqiao's words reached everyone's ears and unexpectedly made everyone silent.

After all, they had never seen Shen Nanqiao so calm and composed.

In the past, Shen Nanqiao always acted like a spoiled brat and pushed the problems to her parents-in-law to solve when they occurred.

The factory manager looked at her seriously and said, "You said you can repair these machines, so repair this one right here and show us how to do it!"

This machine can cut off Xiuyu's fingers, it must be very dangerous.

If Shen Nanqiao dared to repair it on the spot, the factory director would believe her for the time being.

But Jiang's father was panicked. Shen Nanqiao had been married to his family for so many years and had never even touched a cooking pot. How could she possibly repair these machines?
Father Jiang knew very well that Shen Nanqiao dropped out of school before even finishing elementary school.

He hurried forward to stop her: "Director, my wife doesn't know how to do that! When there are problems with the machines in our factory, we have to take them to the city to get them fixed.
There has already been an accident, and I can’t let my daughter-in-law take risks again…”

The factory director had a dark face and interrupted Jiang's father's words without showing any mercy:

"You know it yourself. How could your daughter-in-law be able to tinker with this machine? I'm just angry that she made a mistake, but she's still trying to be stubborn and making excuses!

Our steel plant has never encountered such a bad thing since its establishment.

Xiuyu's three fingers are broken. If her family comes to make trouble, the factory will have to pay much money in compensation. Do you have any idea?
Who among us can afford this loss?
Old Jiang, even if you put in all your wages for the past six months, it probably wouldn't be enough to fill this hole!"

When Mr. Jiang heard this, his face turned pale as paper.

At this time, Shen Nanqiao suddenly said:
"If I can fix this machine, can it prove my innocence?"

Su Qian was standing next to them, her hands unconsciously clenched around the corner of her clothes.

She and Shen Nanqiao have known each other for so many years, but when has she ever seen her so calm and confident?
I kept wondering in my heart, could it be possible that she could really repair it?

But he immediately denied his idea.

impossible!
In her eyes, Shen Nanqiao is just a fool. How could he be capable of such a thing?
Shen Nanqiao glanced at a worker's tool bag and said:

"Can I borrow your tool kit?"

The male worker glanced at him and thought that Shen Nanqiao was trying to struggle a few times before dying.

But the factory manager was standing there, so he had to reluctantly take down the tool kit and hand it to her.

Shen Nanqiao took the bag and walked towards the machine.

When Xiuyu turned on the machine just now, she had no idea that the speed of the machine had changed a long time ago, the circuits inside had been burned out, and the buttons no longer worked.

When this machine is running, it can be very destructive. If a person is slow to react, their fingers will definitely be cut off.

So when Shen Nanqiao turned on the machine, everyone saw that the machine suddenly started to spin at high speed.

The whole machine was shaking violently, and the blades were cutting at an alarming speed, which scared everyone.

But Shen Nanqiao just picked up the tools and started working on the machine.

Even Jiang's father was stunned by this scene. His body was as stiff as a piece of wood, and he shouted at the top of his voice:
"Nan Qiao, you better be careful and don't hurt yourself!"

Shen Nanqiao was completely focused on the machine. He cut the burnt circuit inside with a click. The madly spinning blade stopped immediately, and the rumbling machine also became quiet.

Then, she took apart the parts of the machine one by one, straightened out the circuits, and cut a new piece of wire to connect them.

To be honest, Shen Nanqiao was not completely sure that he could fix it at first. Fortunately, the parts of this machine from the 1970s were not that complicated.

It's much easier to tinker with than those modern high-tech gadgets. Shen Nanqiao secretly felt lucky that he had learned a lot when he was drifting in Shanghai before traveling through time. Otherwise, he would be in a state of silence today, unable to express his suffering.

Based on what happened to the original owner in the past, who could believe what she said?

Seeing Shen Nanqiao repairing the machine calmly, the factory director's expression slowly changed, from gloomy to a little different.

This was the first time he saw Shen Nanqiao repairing something so steadily. This scene was really rare, like a rare event that only happens once in a hundred years.

Father Jiang raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, staring at Shen Nanqiao as he reassembled the machine and then started it up again.

This time, the machine ran steadily, the blade cut at a normal speed, and there was no safety hazard at all.

Shen Nanqiao turned around, shaking the tools in his hand and said, "Director, now you should trust me, right?"

The factory manager looked at her with a complicated expression on his face.

I couldn't believe it.

But the fact is right in front of them. Shen Nanqiao managed to repair the machine in front of so many people.

Shen Nanqiao continued:

"Everyone saw it. If you didn't quickly pull your hands back when the machine was turned on, your fingers would have been cut off.

When I opened it just now, I used a special tool to tighten it, and the tool was almost broken.

Xiuyu is not a fool. If I really had bad intentions to hurt her, she would have cried for help long ago.

No one wants to lose their fingers, and I don’t have the strength to force Xiuyu into the machine, unless she turned on the machine herself and couldn’t react in time. ”

After hearing what Shen Nanqiao said, everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to refute.

Could it be that this time it was really Xiu Yu's own fault?

The factory manager turned around and walked outside:
"Old Jiang, bring your daughter-in-law with me, and send someone to the town hospital to see how Xiuyu's finger is doing.

We have to hurry up, if it's too late, our factory can't afford the compensation!"

Father Jiang glanced at Shen Nanqiao with mixed feelings in his eyes. He was shocked and scared, but he still didn't dare to relax.

Shen Nanqiao followed Jiang's father out and came to the office.

The factory manager looked through the machine repair bill and expenses.

It would cost two hundred yuan to repair these machines. Shen Nanqiao's repair saved the factory this money.

The factory manager raised his head and looked at Shen Nanqiao with a complicated expression:
"Shen Nanqiao, when did you learn to repair machines? I heard from Old Jiang that you didn't even finish elementary school and can't read a few words. You've been married to the Jiang family for so many years..."

Having said this, he felt that it was inappropriate to say that his daughter-in-law was lazy and gluttonous in front of her father-in-law, so he swallowed his words.

Shen Nanqiao lowered his head and thought to himself, now that he has taken over the body of the original owner and has brought along modern skills, if he can do it then he can, and if he can't do it then he can't.

The original owner was illiterate, but I can read.

Shen Nanqiao replied, "Director, I didn't finish primary school because my family had to support my two younger brothers in school, so they didn't allow me to go.

But this doesn't mean I can't read or read. My son Jiang Zhe is in the transportation business and he can repair trucks. I have read all the books at home."
