Chapter 284: Chapter 284: Became Refined
"It’s all your fault when it comes down to it. If you hadn’t offended big brother and sister-in-law, would working the fields even be difficult now? They are both incredibly hard workers."
Ma Suyun now regrets it too, as she had initially just intended to cause some minor trouble for Lin Chuxia, but ended up offending the big brother and sister-in-law.
Now all the house chores fall on her alone without any help.
"Isn’t it said that your unit isn’t that busy anymore? If it really comes down to it, just take half a day off. We’ll head to the fields early in the morning, and you can go back to work in the afternoon..."
Ma Suyun watched as Qin Wen’s expression grew darker, and her voice became weaker as she continued.
"Who told you our unit isn’t busy? Watch your mouth, don’t spout nonsense."
The door was slammed shut forcefully, and Ma Suyun instinctively shivered.
...............
Just as Lin Chuxia arrived home, Little Zhuangzhuang came to greet her, his eyes bright and shiny.
"Auntie, the police officers came again."
This time it was Sun Hao and Chen Ping, who had specifically come to bring good news to Lin Chuxia.
The previous case was finally settled, and Lin Chuxia was awarded the title of ’Righteous and Courageous’, with an invitation to attend the station next Monday where the station chief and the head of the county public security bureau would present her with a banner and a bonus, as well as having reporters interview and praise her in the newspaper.
Lin Chuxia thought it was just a small effort on her part, but she did not expect to receive such honors.
"How is it just a small effort? If it weren’t for you stepping in, I probably would’ve lost my life there."
Chen Ping was truly grateful to Lin Chuxia from the bottom of her heart.
Not to mention Sun Hao, that day was critical, and he and his wife were acting separately. According to his judgement, the criminals had a higher probability of fleeing in the direction he pursued.
Unfortunately, the cunning criminals made a diversion, leading to his misjudgment and nearly putting his wife in jeopardy.
The two offered polite words of gratitude one after the other, which made it hard for Lin Chuxia to say anything more.
In addition to bringing good news to Lin Chuxia, the two also brought some meat bones for Yuan Bao.
Previously, Chen Ping was unable to come, but she didn’t expect that Sun Hao had also unintentionally offended Yuan Bao, so this time she personally came to bond better with Yuan Bao.
Sun Hao expertly started a fire to cook the bones, whereas Chen Ping took out a brand-new stainless steel bowl, and apologetically spoke to Lin Chuxia.
"I really didn’t know about what happened last time. Otherwise, I would have never allowed him to bring such a gift for Yuan Bao. This is a feeding bowl I specifically bought for Yuan Bao, I hope he likes it."
"Yuan Bao will definitely like it."
The bowl wasn’t just made of stainless steel, the bottom of the bowl was also engraved with the word ’Hero’.
While it served a completely different purpose from the dog leash Sun Hao had given to Yuan Bao, it was created with a similar sentiment.
Lin Chuxia showed the bowl to Yuan Bao, who seemed to already know it was for him, panting happily and wagging his tail as if he couldn’t be more excited.
"It seems like Yuan Bao likes your gift."
"It’s good as long as Yuan Bao likes it."
Chen Ping raised her hand to rub his head, and Yuan Bao affectionately nuzzled her palm.
He then carried the bowl to where Sun Hao was, gently placing it on the ground, and even pushed it towards him with his paws.
"Hey, you little thing, have really become clever."
Sun Hao patted it.
"Wait a bit, it’ll be stewed soon."
Just then, Qin Jianjun ran in from outside, pointed outside and said to Lin Chuxia, "Auntie Four, a group of people from the food factory are here. They said they got food poisoning from our cooked food and are demanding an explanation from the factory. Right now, Factory Director Su and my Uncle are dealing with it, Factory Director Su asked you to come over and take a look."
Lin Chuxia frowned, and Chen Ping also stood up.
"I’ll go take a look."
Chen Ping and Sun Hao said in unison, "We’ll go with you."
By then, there were already quite a few people gathered at the entrance of Xiyang Food Factory, and the factory’s security personnel were on full alert. The agitators were still righteously indignant, arguing with Su Wensong and mostly complaining to the surrounding crowd, trying to win over the situation with their sheer numbers.
When Lin Chuxia arrived, people immediately made way.
"Lin is here."
"Second Qin’s wife is here, there must be more to the story, our village’s food factory definitely has no issues."
"Make way, make way, there are also police officers here, let’s see what they have to say now."
.......
The agitators were momentarily stunned upon seeing the police officers behind Lin Chuxia.
However, some quickly reacted, continuing to wail and bitterly complain.
Lin Chuxia took the opportunity to approach Su Wensong, "What’s going on?"
Su Wensong, as the factory director of Xiyang Food Factory, seldom bothered Lin Chuxia. If Qin Jianjun had to call her, it must be a problem he couldn’t resolve.
Su Wensong pointed at people in the distance, "These people bought cooked food in Mazhuang Town which caused food poisoning. It’s said that the seller of the cooked food is associated with our Xiyang Food Factory. There have been incidents of food poisoning from their sold food before, but this time it’s more serious, a few have been hospitalized already, so they came to the factory seeking an explanation."
"They say they’re associated with our food factory just like that? Are they carrying the food’s packaging? Or are they claiming compensation just based on verbal claims that they got sick from the cooked food?"
Lin Chuxia had encountered such situations before, initially when Su Wenmao bribed someone to accuse their bun shop, nearly injuring Sun Lanlan.
Who knows what the situation is this time?
Lin Chuxia knew their factory’s cooked food absolutely didn’t have quality issues.
Su Wensong’s expression was somewhat odd, "They said the person selling them the cooked food is surnamed Lin, residing in Qingshan Village."
Mr. Lin’s maternal home happens to be Daqing Mountain Village, hence Su Wensong called Lin Chuxia over.
Lin Chuxia quickly thought through, she knew what her parents back home were like; they’d rather cry, create scenes, or even threaten suicide to ask her for money than to start their own business?
But she quickly thought of someone: Lin Jiayi.
Sun Hao’s side had also wrapped up their explanation.
"We don’t want to make a big fuss coming here either, but really, the other side didn’t offer us compensation, and our family members are lying in the hospital, so don’t shirk responsibility either; we have inquired already, the woman selling the cooked food is indeed related to Lin Chuxia from Xiyang Food Factory, you have to take responsibility for this matter."
Sun Hao didn’t expect the situation to involve Lin Chuxia’s family, whether Lin Chuxia implicated this or not wasn’t clear for the moment, he could only turn to Lin Chuxia.
Lin Chuxia took a step forward, "I am Lin Chuxia, but what you said is not entirely correct. Although we are sisters, we got married separately last year and have our own families. I know nothing about her selling cooked food, and whatever she sells has no relation to Xiyang Food Factory. This can be verified by the leaders and employees of Xiyang Food Factory; all our produced cooked foods follow official channels. Aside from Qin’s Steamed Bun shop which sells bulk cooked food, all other cooked foods are packaged. If you got food poisoning from food purchased at Qin’s Steamed Bun Shop or from packaged Qin’s Cooked Food, we’re responsible, but for other cooked foods, we have no liability."
