Chapter 90 Removing some rural workers and returning home
"Did you see it with your own eyes?"
While surprised, Zhang Guangmao also felt suspicious.
He asked Xu Damei: "Since you saw it with your own eyes, why didn't you tell me? How many days have passed before you said you saw it."
Xu Damei lowered her head, "Because, because..."
After a while, she finally raised her head and said, "Because Li Qinghua and I had a fight before, I was afraid that even if I told the truth, you wouldn't believe it and would think I framed her, so I never told her before."
"Then why are you willing to talk now?"
Xu Damei bit her lip, "I don't think there's any way to delay this matter. Believe it or not, I just saw Li Qinghua push the fence!"
Hearing her affirmation, although Zhang Guangmao still had some doubts, he still said to her: "Tell me carefully what you saw."
"good."
Xu Damei said that she was on duty that day and it was almost dark when she got home. She originally wanted to go home directly, but suddenly she wanted to see if her eggplants had bloomed, so she walked towards the vegetable field.
After a distance of dozens of meters, she saw a man knocking down Aunt Bai's tomato shelf from a distance. She shouted at the man and wanted to chase him, but the man quickly ran away and she didn't see clearly.
who is it.
"Wait a minute," Zhang Guangmao couldn't help but interrupt, "Didn't you say that you saw with your own eyes that the person was Li Qinghua? Why are you saying now that you didn't see clearly who it was?"
"I saw the clothes that man was wearing..."
Xu Damei described the style and color of the clothes, "In the next few days, I observed the people in the building and found that only Li Qinghua had such clothes."
Zhang Guangmao thought for a while and asked, "Have you told your mother about this?"
"No, actually I'm afraid of wrongly accusing Li Qinghua, but she is the only one who owns those clothes. Director Zhang, I'm not lying to you, I saw it with my own eyes."
In order to verify whether what she said was true or false, Zhang Guangmao went downstairs and knocked on the door of Li Qinghua's house. After he opened the door and came out, he asked directly: "What clothes did you wear on the day when the old Su's fence was knocked down?"
"what clothes?"
Li Qinghua frowned in displeasure, "It's been so long, who still remembers this kind of thing? Director Zhang, I really didn't do it. Why do you keep catching me and asking questions? It's like you're interrogating a prisoner. It's really too much."
Too much!"
"I just want to find out the truth as soon as possible! The factory director asked me to handle this matter. I hope you will cooperate well."
Hearing that he moved out the factory director to suppress her, Li Qinghua suppressed her anger, "But I really don't remember..."
"Then let me ask you again, what time did you go out that morning? What time did you get home? Did you see Xu Qiang's daughter that day?"
"What? Xu Damei? Why are you asking her? I have never seen her."
Xu Damei walked out from behind Zhang Guangmao and said, "Director Zhang, I have to rush to school before dawn in the morning and don't go home until it's almost dark. Except on weekends, I have no chance to meet her at all.
I saw her when I went to the vegetable patch in the evening!"
"What do you mean you saw me when you went to the vegetable field in the evening? What are you talking about?" Li Qinghua didn't understand what Xu Damei meant.
"Director Zhang, what's going on?"
The commotion became louder, and many people walked out to watch.
Zhang Guangmao told everyone that Xu Damei saw that the person who pushed down the tomato rack was Li Qinghua. Although he could not see her face clearly, he saw the clothes she was wearing.
After saying that, amidst the noisy discussion, he asked loudly: "Do any of you remember what Li Qinghua was wearing the day before the shelf was found lying on the ground?"
"I remember it seemed like a plaid shirt..."
"Yes, it's a plaid shirt, pink," Zhang Hongmei said, "The pants are blue cloth pants."
She couldn't remember big things, but she could remember such trivial things very clearly.
"The clothes and trousers are all the same as Damei said. So, the person she saw knocking down the shelf that day was indeed Xiao Li..."
Before Zhang Guangmao finished speaking, Li Qinghua said angrily: "You united together to accuse me, but I didn't knock down any fences at all! I had a fight with Zhao Hongxia and the others, then went home and never went downstairs again!"
"The beautiful woman said she saw you, so don't be so stubborn," Zhao Hongxia squeezed into the crowd and said, "Tell me, if it weren't for you, how would Xu Qiang's daughter know what you were wearing that day?
?”
"That's right! In fact, everyone has known it was you for a long time. Li Qinghua, you are really thick-skinned. Now that the evidence is solid, you still don't admit it."
Listening to everyone's pointing fingers, Li Qinghua lost control of her emotions and grabbed Xu Damei excitedly, "Why did you wrongly accuse me? Why?"
She shouted hysterically, "It was your mother, Lin Yulan, who instigated you, right? Didn't I just lend you half a bag of soybeans? No one else in the building lent them except Bai Lu, so why should Lin Yulan only hate me?"
Lin Yulan and Bai Lu bought salt from the supply and marketing cooperative and went home. They heard Li Qinghua's voice just as they reached the stairs.
At first, she didn't understand what was happening, until she squeezed into the crowd and saw her daughter being caught by Li Qinghua, Lin Yulan's eyes were splitting.
She rushed forward and forcefully broke Li Qinghua's hand away, then without saying a word grabbed Li Qinghua's hair and struggled with her...
Zhang Guangmao was scratched on his hand several times, and it was difficult to separate the two people.
"Li Qinghua, what's the matter with you? It wasn't a big deal originally. If you admit your mistake to Lao Su and his family, this matter might be dealt with lightly. But now you are making such a fuss without any attitude of admitting your mistake..."
Having said this angrily, Zhang Guangmao said in a calm voice: "The rural areas are extremely short of people. The factory has recently responded to the call and dismissed some rural workers and returned to their hometowns. You can ask your family to clean up and settle down in the countryside."
"Wha...what? Back to the countryside?"
Li Qinghua's hair was still a mess, and she was feeling angry. She originally wanted to continue fighting with Lin Yulan, but now that she heard Director Zhang's words, she felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on her, and her whole body was as cold as ice.
"You deserve it! You should have gotten out a long time ago!"
Zhao Hongxia tried hard to hide the smug smile on her lips, "A person like you who stays in our building is like a mouse droppings ruining a pot of porridge!"
"Her family, He Dali, is really unlucky. After marrying a daughter-in-law like her, she finally made it to the city. Now she has no choice but to pack up and go back to the countryside."
In the crowd, Xu Damei lowered her head as if she was trying to hold back something. After a while, she didn't say anything and ran home.
Everyone said a few sarcastic remarks and left one after another.
"Do you think it was really Li Qinghua who did it?" When the whole family was having dinner in the evening, Bai Lu couldn't help but say, "Why don't I think it's her?"
"Mummy... heap..." Xiao Jinbao uttered a milky sound.
"What is the sixth sister talking about? Dui Dui?"
Su Xiaosi, who was sitting aside, pinched her sister's chubby little round face and said with a smile: "Jin Bao's face has lots of flesh..."
