The temperature was low on an autumn morning. The thin frost on the base of the courtyard wall had not yet melted, and the cold wind made it even more chilling.

Jia Zhangshi's leg injury had not yet healed, and she sat down heavily on the ground, wondering if it would leave a lasting health problem.

But none of that mattered anymore; the son ran away overnight, taking most of the family's savings with him.

Jia Zhangshi was completely distraught and despondent. She even contemplated smashing her head against the wall and dying, and no longer cared about her injuries.

"Enough, Jia Zhangshi, stop yelling!"

"Let's talk things out. What's the use of crying!"

He Daqing stepped forward and sternly rebuked him.

He Daqing felt no pity for Jia Zhangshi.

If she had done more good deeds in the past, avoided provoking so many people, and refrained from doing bad things that harmed others without benefiting herself, she wouldn't have ended up in this situation.

The current situation is entirely her own fault; she has only herself to blame.

"Quick, quick, help me see what's written on it!"

Jia Zhangshi remained unmoved, clutching the note in her hand, her gaze fixed on Yan Bugui in the crowd.

Jia Xudong left suddenly, and this note is the only clue he left behind.

The only cultured person in the courtyard is the perfect candidate to solve the mystery.

Feeling Jia Zhangshi's burning gaze, Yan Bugui shuddered and couldn't help but take a step back.

"Yan Bugui, hurry, hurry..."

Jia Zhangshi threw off her crutch and crawled toward Yan Bugui like a demon.

His deep, husky voice was like a demonic sound from the abyss, making people uncomfortable.

All eyes of the neighbors were on Yan Bugui, leaving him nowhere to hide.

"Then I'll take a look."

Let me make this clear first, I can't guarantee I'll be able to figure anything out.

Yan Bugui shrank back and said warily.

The Jia family has a terrible reputation, and he doesn't want to be associated with Jia Zhangshi.

Yan Bugui carefully took the note, adjusted his glasses, and looked down to examine it closely.

"Mom, I know you don't like Sister Bai."

In order not to upset your health, we have decided to leave Beijing and go out for a while.

Come back when you've calmed down.

Please take good care of yourself and don't worry about me.

Son, Jia Xudong.

Yan Bugui read the contents of the note word by word, then handed it back as if driving away a plague god.

Where did they go?!

Where did they go?!

Why did you take all our savings with you when you went out? How am I supposed to live?!

With bloodshot eyes, Jia Zhangshi lunged forward like a mad dog, grabbing Yan Bugui's wrist tightly and yelling.

"No, you must be hiding something!"

You don't want me to find Xudong, do you?

Right?

After being repeatedly provoked, Jia Zhangshi completely lost her mind and began tearing at everything within reach.

Yan Bugui hurriedly pried Jia Zhangshi's hands off, but used too much force, causing him to fall backward to the ground.

Then he pushed off the ground with both feet, moved his body away from the crazy woman.

"Jia Zhangshi, the destination wasn't specified on the document, what's wrong with you!"

After creating a safe distance, Yan Bugui struggled to his feet, patted his backside, and angrily rebuked.

I was trying to help out of kindness, and I have to suffer like this.

Yan Bugui felt he had suffered a huge loss.

If he weren't afraid of being extorted by Jia Zhangshi, he would definitely have demanded some compensation.

"Jia Xudong, you unfilial son, you've forgotten your mother after you've married a wife!"

You unfilial son, how am I supposed to live?!

Jia Zhangshi lay on the ground and wailed loudly.

To say that Jia Xudong was heartless wouldn't be an exaggeration. He left Jia Zhangshi a million yuan, which, if used sparingly, would definitely last her a year or two.

Even if all else fails, Jia Zhangshi, who is only forty years old this year, can still go out and find some odd jobs, earning a few yuan a month, which is not difficult to support herself.

However, this was not what Jia Zhangshi wanted.

Lazy Jia Zhangshi had no intention of working in the fields.

All I wanted was for Jia Xudong to marry a wife so she could have a peaceful and comfortable life.

Unfortunately, Bai Zhan didn't play by the rules and ran away with Jia Xudong.

Jia Zhangshi's illusions were completely shattered.

"Stop howling."

Isn't the person perfectly fine?

I'm just going out to relax; I'll be back in a while.

Everyone, please disperse.

Having finished watching the play, He Daqing didn't want to waste any more time.

It's getting late; I should go back to make breakfast and take Yushui to school.

The road to forming an alliance is long and arduous. With Bai Zhan's skill, Jia Xudong probably won't be able to return without staying away for several years.

Furthermore, it's estimated that Jia Xudong won't return for the funeral until Jia Zhangshi passes away.

Having witnessed Jia Zhangshi's madness, everyone was afraid of getting into trouble if they stayed, so they quickly dispersed.

As Yan Bugui left, he shook his head in disgust and spat.

"unlucky."

……

Noon, outside the second canteen of the steel rolling mill.

Liu Wu, whose path was blocked, started shouting and yelling.

"Let me go, you bunch of bastards!"

"Let me in, let me in! I need to find Master He, I need to find Director Wang!"

The sudden departure of Bai Zhan and Jia Xudong hurt more than just Jia Zhangshi.

Liu Wu was also a major victim.

Liu Wu, who lost his job and was feeling down about his life, was hoping that Bai Zhan could turn things around for him.

Unexpectedly, Bai Zhan actually ran away.

These past few days have been exhausting and stressful, and Liu Wu has not only failed to gain any benefits but has also lost his savings. His mental state has completely collapsed.

He Daqing stared coldly at Liu Wu, who was causing trouble outside, through the cafeteria window.

Liu Wu is really clueless. He angered everyone yesterday, and he still dares to come back today.

This steel rolling mill isn't owned by Liu Wu's family. If he doesn't do his job well, he'll be fired. Nobody will tolerate him.

"Great Qing, how about we go even further and do something even more drastic?"

Wang Dahai walked over to He Daqing and asked casually.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content!

"We've already come this far, why get our hands dirty?"

Someone will take care of him.

After finishing his sentence, He Daqing patted Wang Dahai on the shoulder and prepared to return to the kitchen to continue working.

"Director Zhao is treating us to dinner tonight, remember to come."

Wang Dahai said with a smile.

The old will not go, and the new will not come.

As soon as Liu Wu's position became vacant, someone had to be appointed to fill it as soon as possible.

As for the candidates, everyone has already discussed and agreed on them.

Director Zhao is treating us to dinner tonight, firstly to express his gratitude, and secondly to introduce my nephew to some people.

The local official is more powerful than the distant one; to survive in the second canteen, it's essential to maintain a good relationship with your superiors.

"Okay, I will be there on time."

Outside, the employees who had a grudge against Liu Wu simply couldn't tolerate this scoundrel's arrogant face.

They swarmed forward and gave Liu Wu a good beating.

Liu Wu alone was no match for the combined attack of more than a dozen people.

They were completely dominated and humiliated in the instant of the battle.

His face was covered in bruises, and he looked like a condiment shop, with all sorts of sour, salty, bitter, and spicy flavors bursting out at once, making him convulse.

After beating him nearly to death and seeing that Liu Wu was completely unable to resist, the group lifted him up and threw him out of the steel mill like trash.

"Let me tell you, if you dare to cause trouble again, I'll beat you every time I see you!"
