Chapter 58

In the large office, Shao Le had already applied medicine and was grinning while telling everyone the reason for the matter.

After Lu Qiao established a service station, Shao Le went to the Security Office to assist Officer Liu, while Lu Qiao was still a mediator. On the premise of running the service station, some small disputes were not delayed in being resolved.

This time, Li Ying, the wife of Master Liu in the No. 4 Workshop, didn't come to find the mediator, but went directly to the Security Office to find Officer Liu, saying that Liu Yu wanted to kill her, and she was terrified, hoping the Security Office could send Liu Yu to the farm for labor reform.

So Shao Le and Officer Liu went to the Liu family. Before going, they also understood the family situation of Master Liu.

Liu Yu was the youngest son of Master Liu and his ex-wife, fourteen years old this year, and was an apprentice in a shoe repair shop. Li Ying was Master Liu's second wife, and Liu Yu's biological mother died when he was three years old.

Shao Le went to the Liu family and found that the child Liu Yu was skin and bones, and very silent, just staring at Li Ying with hateful eyes.

Shao Le said this, looked at Lu Qiao, and said with some annoyance: "I thought at the time, isn't this the same as Zhou Li's family matter? Obviously, Li Ying is lying. Such a thin child, short in stature, looks like he is underfed and beaten and scolded at home. I said to Li Ying, without evidence, it is spreading rumors. Although Liu Yu is not born by you, he is also a member of the Liu family. You can't find an excuse to drive him out. Unexpectedly, Li Ying rushed over to hit me. I was unprepared for a moment and was scratched twice by her. This old... old woman, too shrewish."

Lu Qiao felt that Shao Le might want to scold something like "old shrew," but Director Hu was there, so he didn't dare to scold.

However, at this time, Shao Le hesitated.

Sister Qiao asked: "What are you hesitating about? Is there something you can't say?"

Shao Le immediately said: "Before I left, that Liu Yu actually said: Li Ying is right, I just want to kill her!"

Pausing, Shao Le frowned: "Master Liu heard this, grabbed Liu Yu, and slapped him. Officer Liu and I tried hard to stop him. We originally wanted to ask what was going on, but Master Liu said the child was ignorant and he would discipline him, and then drove Officer Liu and me out."

Lu Qiao thought for a while and asked: "How did Liu Yu's biological mother die?"

Director Hu looked at Lu Qiao in surprise. He found that this girl had a different focus on certain things than most people.

"I don't know. What we register in our neighborhood office is the basic family situation."

And because it was a sudden incident, no one went to investigate.

At this time, Officer Liu also walked into the large office, looking at Shao Le with annoyance. This idiot, although the family situation of Master Zhou and Master Liu was similar, every family had its own affairs. If you didn't ask clearly, you couldn't use the same method to deal with it.

In fact, he also felt that Liu Yu was abused.

He saw that the child's arms were all bruised, and besides, the contrast was too obvious.

Li Ying's ex-husband died. She originally lived next door to Master Liu's house. It is said that she had a very good relationship with Liu Yu's biological mother.

Liu Yu's biological mother died, and she married into the Liu family with two sons, and both sons changed their surnames to Liu.

The eldest was sixteen this year and was an apprentice in the No. 4 Workshop with Master Liu. The second was the same age as Liu Yu, but was in junior high school.

Li Ying's two sons were big and tall.

And Li Ying and Master Liu also had a daughter, who should be very pampered.

Even a fool could see the child's situation at home, but Master Liu, the biological father, was alive. If he didn't say anything, others couldn't manage it.

Shao Le grinned: "Then... should we still manage this matter?"

Officer Liu said with annoyance: "How can we not manage it? What if what Liu Yu said is true?"

Sister Qiao frowned: "I heard Master Liu hits the child very hard."

Ren Xiaocui sighed: "That's why they say, 'with a stepmother, there is a stepfather'."

Director Hu immediately said: "You can't generalize. There are more than 50,000 people in the Xiang Yang Neighborhood Office, and there are many reorganized families. Whether it is a stepmother or a stepfather, aren't there many who treat children kindly, have harmonious couples, and are as close as a family?"

Ren Xiaocui laughed: "I was just sighing in the office; I won't say it when I go out."

Director Hu looked at the time and was also a bit hesitant. It was almost time to get off work, but what Shao Le reported...

"When you came out, did Master Liu hit the child?"

Officer Liu said: "I warned Master Liu not to lay a hand on the child."

But in the end, Director Hu was still worried, and it just happened to be on the way to the place where Master Liu lived after getting off work.

He took Shao Le and Officer Liu and prepared to go see the situation. Lu Qiao was originally going to work with the volunteers in the afternoon, so Lu Qiao went to the night school again.

Fortunately, it wasn't far, and Lu Qiao walked fast, arriving in a short while.

Once again, Lu Qiao hoped for a bicycle.

But the problem now was that there was no bicycle ticket at home, let alone money.

A Flying Pigeon in the department store was 180.

She only had less than five cents in her pocket.

Fortunately, one could go out without money in their pocket nowadays, otherwise it would be wasted.

Thinking wildly all the way, Lu Qiao arrived at the night school, arranged the work, and let everyone come a bit later in the afternoon. After all, it was a bit hot now, so don't get heatstroke.

These people were all those who didn't want to return to the countryside and couldn't find a job for a while, but their families didn't want them to leave either.

But it wasn't a long-term solution to be like this.

They were incomparably eager to have a place to do things to accommodate them.

Even if they worked for nothing, it was fine.

So the honest Meng Qingshan said: "Xiao Lu, Zhou Li will also use herbal medicine to make heat-relieving tea. Let's work harder in the afternoon and make all the mud bricks."

Lu Qiao didn't continue to persuade, and she would come in the afternoon. Thinking about it, she asked Meng Qingshan again: "How much yellow mud is still needed?"

Meng Qingshan pointed to the pile of soil: "We have all pulled it back, it should be enough."

Du Shuang on the side pressed her hand on her heart and said: "Every time I go to the yellow mud pond, I feel a bit creepy."

Lu Qiaoling was quick-mouthed and asked: "Why?"

Du Shuang's complexion changed: "I heard it from my mother. Master Liu's wife in the No. 4 Workshop drowned in the yellow mud pond. But that was more than ten years ago. After the accident, the yellow mud pond was filled in."

Lu Qiao glanced at the direction of the yellow mud pond and suppressed the strange feeling in her heart.

Let everyone put the tools in the classroom and lock them, and then go home to eat and rest by the way.

Lu Qiao and Lu Qiaoling also returned home. Lu Xiaosi was waiting at the gate. Seeing Lu Qiao, he pointed to the swallow's nest and then pointed to his mouth.

This meant that the naughty swallow had brought back the white water bamboo and he had eaten it too.

Perhaps it was psychological, Lu Qiao felt that Xiao Si's state was much better.

Looking like this, by September, he might be able to go to school.

Lu Qiao walked into the courtyard. Old Lu was also at home, his face full of joy.

Seeing the two daughters return, Meng Xia said happily: "Guess which unit I went to?"

Lu Qiaoling jumped over in surprise: "Mom, don't sell the pass. Where did you go? Say it quickly, say it quickly."

Lu Qiao scooped up a handful of cool water and splashed it on her face. Oh, it was so cool. She also smiled: "Our mom went to the factory's children's school to be a school worker."
