Chapter 1429: Since They Have Been Unrighteous, Don't Blame Us for Being Unjust

Those who arrived late hurried over: "What's going on? Why is there a commotion this early in the morning?"

"Let me tell you, these are the family members of that thug Wang Great Ming hired. They came early this morning to pressure Comrade Qiu into begging the factory on their behalf. What kind of people are these?"

"What kind of people are these?"

Fu Yan Cheng, dressed in a military uniform, went upstairs and pretended ignorance as he asked: "Sister, what's happening? Why are so many people gathered here?"

Xia Qiu was just about to speak when those few saw the man in the four-pocket military uniform addressing the woman before them as 'Sister'. After exchanging glances, a sharp-witted woman spoke up first: "Well, since Comrade Qiu disagrees, we won't disturb you any further."

Having said that, she tugged the person who had come with her: "Let's go, let's go, hurry up and leave."

Those who disliked them immediately shouted: "Look, what kind of people are these?"

Someone nearby chimed in: "Bullying the weak and fearing the strong, a bunch of shameless scum."

Xiao Fu then addressed the onlookers: "Thank you all for speaking up for justice. We've wasted your time; please disperse."

Having said that, he reached out to take the lunchbox from Xia Qiu's hands while looking at Fu Yan Cheng: "How has Chuxue been these past few days?"

Fu Yan Cheng, unable to wait to greet Qiu Shaofeng inside the room, replied: "Dad, Chuxue is downstairs. I'll go down and bring her up right now."

Hearing this, Xiao Fu immediately frowned: "She's heavily pregnant; why are you making her run to this hospital?"

Fu Yan Cheng turned to head upstairs while replying: "If she doesn't come to see for herself, she won't feel at ease, right? It's fine; I'll bring her up, she'll stay for a short while, and then we'll leave."

He hurried downstairs and walked quickly toward Chuxue: "Wife, shall we go up?"

Chuxue naturally knew what had happened upstairs, but Fu Yan Cheng told her anyway: "I think there's no need to argue with them in front of so many people. In a moment, I'll go see Factory Director Zheng in my capacity as a family member and see how they handle it."

Chuxue naturally understood his meaning: "I agree. Since they have shown no benevolence, don't blame us for showing no righteousness. We must teach them a lesson; they shouldn't think they can bully people and get away with it."

By not stopping them from punishing them now, she naturally didn't want to invite trouble for herself afterward. Rather than taking action to teach them a lesson herself, it was better to leave it to the factory leadership, which would be more legitimate.

Chuxue entered the ward: "Dad, Brother-in-law."

Xiao Fu sized Chuxue up from head to toe: "Knowing you wouldn't feel at ease, having Yan Cheng make the trip would have been enough; you shouldn't have gone to such trouble for yourself."

His second daughter's belly was truly too large; his face was full of concern. As he spoke, he pulled over a stool: "Quick, sit here and rest for a while."

Qiu Shaofeng looked deeply embarrassed: "Chuxue, Yan Cheng, I..."

Chuxue quickly cut in: "Brother-in-law, family doesn't speak with two sets of words. When there's a problem, one must lend a hand. Your cousin has already told you about it, hasn't she?"

Both Qiu Shaofeng and Xia Qiu nodded.

The other patient in the ward, whether hungry or simply perceptive, picked up their lunchbox and left the room at that moment.

Seeing that no one else was there, Chuxue said: "The reason I didn't ask the factory to demand an apology from them is that I feel it's better to demand actual compensation than to have them apologize unwillingly. After all, they will be publicly criticized throughout the entire factory, which will be far more humiliating for them than an apology or writing a self-criticism."

Xia Qiu nodded: "When my husband and I heard that each of them would pay twenty yuan, we immediately understood your thinking."

"With such severe superficial injuries, Brother-in-law, don't rush back to work; recovering your health is the most important thing."

This statement practically said it outright: since the medical expenses would be split among those few people and the factory would deduct the money directly from their wages, they wouldn't even have a chance to try to shirk their responsibility.
