Chapter 305: Chapter 305 Trouble Occurred
𝑛𝘰𝑣𝘱𝑢𝑏.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Village Chief Qin wanted to say more, but Shi Wei was already growing impatient, "Does the village chief not let me take people away because he wants to obstruct the investigation? Or does Mr. Lin think I am deliberately arresting people from Xiyang? If Mr. Lin thinks I arrested the wrong person, he is most welcome to report it at the police station. When I, Shi Wei, handle affairs, I am as firm as nails and rivets, and I am not afraid of your complaints."
With a wave of his hand, he ordered, "Take everyone back, the station will investigate this thoroughly. Whether it’s people from Xiyang Food Factory fighting or people from the Old Food Factory causing trouble, we will certainly provide justice to everyone. After questioning, if there is no issue, they will be sent home immediately, everyone please rest assured about our police handling."
The police have always had credibility in the eyes of the public. With Shi Wei’s words, the villagers who initially had concerns now found his reasoning sound.
With the chaos just now, they had just arrived and started arresting people, how could they possibly be selective?
It must be that the people from the Old Food Factory who did wrong were guilty and hence ran faster upon seeing the police.
Su Wensong wanted to argue further, but Lin Chuxia stopped him with a shake of her head.
The police arrived quickly and left just as fast, but when they left, they took seven or eight workers from Xiyang.
"Mr. Lin, are you really letting him take those people away?"
Anyone could see there was a problem here.
Lin Chuxia’s eyes deepened, "You follow and see."
Su Wensong was the manager of Xiyang Food Factory, and it was reasonable for him to follow when his workers were involved in an incident.
Turning to Qin Wu, "Xiao Wu, organize the workers to continue working calmly. Tell them that the workers who were taken away will absolutely not encounter any trouble."
Qin Wu nodded, "I’ve got it Mr. Lin, don’t worry."
Qin Wu is now the deputy manager of Xiyang Food Factory and also a villager of Qin Family Village. His credibility in the factory is not low.
Finally, she thanked Village Chief Qin, asking him to take the villagers back home, and she would handle the rest.
Village Chief Qin never expected things to end like this; clearly, they were the victims, people who came causing trouble went scot-free, yet their people got arrested.
But at this moment, he realized, there was no point for more villagers to stay here; the more people, the more gossip and potential trouble.
Calling the villagers to go home if they should, others to return to their fields.
Soon after, the area in front of the food factory quieted down.
Lin Chuxia took a deep breath and went directly to find Sun Hao to see if there was any news.
Actually, she had already guessed what might be happening, and now it was just a matter of seeing who was intervening in this matter.
...........
"Big brother, sister-in-law, big brother, sister-in-law... it’s bad, something has happened..."
Qin Liang and Qian Chuncao were picking green beans in the field when they faintly heard someone calling them.
Qian Chuncao had sharp eyesight and saw Qin Wen running from afar.
"Why is he here?"
The lands of the three Qin brothers were not located together, and especially after the last fight with Ma Suqing, the two families had fallen out and had not spoken for a long time, even not attending when their niece, Qin Lihua, got married.
Qin Liang also put down what he was doing, his expression growing more solemn.
He has always been aloof since he was young and never liked working in the fields. Now with one foot deep, one foot shallow, there must be something wrong.
Just as the two were puzzled, Qin Wen had already run up to them.
Out of breath, he gasped, "Brother, sister-in-law, it’s bad news. Big trouble. Your son, Jianjun, has been taken away by the police."
Qin Liang and Qian Chuncao’s faces changed dramatically, "What did you say? Who was taken away by the police?"
"Who else? Your Jianjun. It’s all over the village now. Today someone came to Xiyang Food Factory causing trouble. Jianjun got into a fight with them. Later, the police came and took your Jianjun away."
"How did he get into a fight?" Qin Liang asked, frowning.
He was clear about what kind of person his son was. Besides, his son was working at Xiyang Food Factory, always following his Uncle, Xiao Wu. How could Uncle let his son get involved in a fight?
Qin Wen had just gotten off work and heard about it from his wife, who told him that Qin Jianjun was taken away by the police, so he immediately came to inform them.
"How else could he have gotten into a fight?" Qin Wen’s face showed deep sorrow, "I heard that Xiyang Food Factory took business from the Old Food Factory. The employees of the Old Food Factory now have no work and are almost laid off. They came to confront Xiyang Food Factory. You both know Fourth Son’s Wife’s temper, she didn’t give an inch and infuriated them, and both sides started fighting. It’s regrettable that you always trusted her, leaving the child in her care. When trouble arose, she had Jianjun at the frontline and hid herself. I’ve already asked around—Uncle and her are fine, but Jianjun was the one who got screwed over."
Qin Liang and Qian Chuncao looked at each other, Qin Liang said, "Let’s go home and see."
Qian Chuncao also hurriedly packed the green beans into the basket. No matter what, their son being taken away by the police was a major event.
They were also worried about Xiyang Food Factory.
They had only heard a couple of days ago that someone was causing trouble at the factory, but how did it escalate to fighting today?
They went to the fields early today, and this field is far from the village, so they hadn’t heard anything.
Otherwise, would their son have needed to step in? She could’ve helped them pull the other party apart.
Seeing the two getting anxious, Qin Wen also became worried.
"Tell us what happened exactly. Jianjun was just going to work; how could he end up in the police station? Our Jianjun is such a good kid, never fought anyone since he was little. Now he’s ended up in the police station and will have a record. How is Jianjun supposed to get on in life now? Even talking about getting married could be a problem."
Qin Liang and Qian Chuncao did not respond further, they put the basket on their bicycle’s rear rack and started pedaling home.
Qin Wen also hurriedly pushed his bike, shouting, "Brother, sister-in-law, slow down a bit. We need to think carefully about what to do next. I know a couple of people at the police station, just tell your brother if you need help..."
Qin Wen followed all the way until he saw his brother and sister-in-law enter the village, then he turned his bike around and went back to his own home.
Ma Suyun was still at home waiting for news, and as soon as she saw Qin Wen return, she hurried up to him.
"How did it go? Did those two go settle the score with the Fourth Son’s wife?"
"What do you think?" Qin Wen scoffed.
Jianjun and Jianye are their lifelines, especially Jianjun, who had been working at Xiyang Food Factory. His sister-in-law had often boasted about it in the village.
Now, that boasting had led him straight to the police station. How could he not settle the score with Fourth Son’s Wife?
Especially that remark, now it’s even hard to mention getting a wife for Jianjun, seeing his sister-in-law’s face change.
By now, they’re probably tearing into Fourth Son’s Wife’s heart.
Hearing this, Ma Suyun also felt a sense of satisfaction, "Exactly, they always talk about how good Fourth Son’s Wife is, shamelessly sucking up to her despite being of age. Now, her daughter’s reputation was almost ruined by Fourth Son’s Wife, and now her son has ended up in the police station, let’s see if they still praise Fourth Son’s Wife."
