Chapter 110 Questioning
Liu Lan glanced around and, seeing everyone nodding in agreement, didn't delay to satisfy their curiosity and spoke directly.
"One of them was a workshop worker named Yi Zhonghai."
According to his colleagues in the workshop, he hasn't been to work for two or three months because he broke his arm and is currently recuperating at home.
Zhang Long, Sha Zhu's apprentice, couldn't wait to interject, saying to Sha Zhu,
"Master, didn't Yi Zhonghai come to the kitchen to see you before? It was when he and the former canteen director fell down the stairs from the office building next door."
Upon hearing this, Liu Lan immediately turned to Zhang Long and demanded, "What exactly happened?"
Seeing that his master didn't respond, Zhang Long continued.
"You hadn't started working at this cafeteria yet. Yi Zhonghai and the cafeteria director were hospitalized after falling from the nearby office building."
After that, the position of cafeteria director was taken over by the current Director Zhang. And you were transferred from another cafeteria after that.
"I see. Then why did they fall down the stairs for no reason?" Liu Lan asked Zhang Long with wide, curious eyes.
Zhang Long scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "Well, I'm not really sure either."
I heard that the cafeteria manager has been unconscious since being admitted to the hospital, and I don't know how he is now.
Aunt Liu, who was standing nearby, anxiously interjected, "Forget about the past, Liu Lan. You just said there were three people. Besides Yi Zhonghai, who else is there?"
Seeing that Aunt Liu was eagerly asking about what happened that morning, Liu Lan glanced around at everyone.
He said mysteriously, "You must be familiar with this second person as well."
Everyone urged, "Liu Lan, stop keeping us in suspense!" "Tell us quickly!" "Sister Liu, who is it?"...
Seeing that she had successfully piqued everyone's interest, Liu Lan secretly felt pleased with herself before she began to speak.
"Everyone knows about the incident more than two months ago when the entire residents of the No. 95 courtyard house had diarrhea, right?"
Everyone nodded hurriedly, and an apprentice urged, "Sister Liu, stop beating around the bush."
"That bout of diarrhea was because of the wedding of an apprentice worker in our factory named Jia Dongxu."
Many people went to congratulate them, and as a result, they all got diarrhea. I heard there were even spies involved at the time," Liu Lan said mysteriously.
Zhang Long asked curiously, "Sister Liu, is Jia Dongxu also in this one?"
Liu Lan shook her head: "Of course not, but this time it's his mother."
I heard she was hung from a tree, completely naked. I also heard her mother was seen naked by tens of thousands of people.
After Liu Lan finished speaking, she laughed so hard she almost fell over, as if she had revealed some major news.
Aunt Liu looked at Liu Lan, who was laughing wildly, patted her on the shoulder, and said,
"Liu Lan, is it true? Tens of thousands of people? That's unlikely. I've been to the alley where she lives, it's the one at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang. Where else in the area is there an alley that big enough to hold tens of thousands of people?"
Seeing that everyone was looking at her with suspicion after Aunt Liu said that, Liu Lan hurriedly defended herself.
"It's true. The workers who were eating in the cafeteria just now told me themselves."
She lives nearby. She said that the area around No. 95 courtyard house was surrounded by people from all directions. Even the people from the street office and the police station almost couldn't squeeze in.
There were even more onlookers than when the last group of people had diarrhea.
"Oh, Jia Dongxu from our factory is really unlucky. Why does his family always get into these kinds of troubles?"
"How will this young man go on living after his mother has suffered such a misfortune?" Aunt Liu said with deep emotion.
Seeing everyone's stunned expressions, and sensing their profound shock, Sha Zhu spoke up.
"What's there to not live on? Jia Dongxu's mother has always been a thick-skinned person. Even if she is rescued, she won't take it too seriously."
After all, she's a notorious shrew. Liu Lan, didn't you also say you wanted to talk about a third person?
Liu Lan ignored Sha Zhu's question and said in an exaggerated tone, "She's been seen naked by everyone, how could she not care? That's unlikely."
Sha Zhu hurriedly explained, "It's true, why would I lie to you? I used to live in that courtyard, so I know her a little bit."
Seeing Sha Zhu's anxious expression, Liu Lan suddenly looked him over carefully and said in a questioning tone,
"He Yuzhu, I remember last time Jia Dongxu got married, everyone had diarrhea, and you didn't go to congratulate him."
This time, something happened in their yard again, and you know nothing about it.
"That's a bit unreasonable. You've been neighbors for a long time. It was already a bit much that you didn't attend the wedding last time."
Sha Zhu thought to himself, "How come this woman has suddenly become so perceptive? Could she possibly guess what I did in the past?"
So he pretended to be angry and said, "Liu Lan, what do you mean by this?"
Do I absolutely have to attend the wedding? Do I have to have diarrhea to please you so you can laugh at me?
Keep dreaming. Let me tell you, I lived on Qianmen Street at the time. How was I supposed to get there? Besides, even though I didn't go in person, I still sent a gift."
Seeing Liu Lan's disbelieving look, Sha Zhu said...
"Tch, I don't want to hear who the third person is. I'll just ask my neighbors after I get off work."
Sha Zhu snorted dismissively, turned around, and ran off to his usual little warehouse.
After Sha Zhu left, the group gathered together again, continuing their gossip. Time passed quietly, and before they knew it, it was around five o'clock in the afternoon.
Sha Zhu was walking home in the rain when he happened to run into Brother Li, Li Jianguo, who was about to leave the neighborhood office.
Sha Zhu quickly pushed his bicycle forward to greet him: "Brother Li, are you getting ready to leave work?"
Li Jianguo, holding documents in his hand, walked up with a smile and exchanged pleasantries with Sha Zhu.
"Hey, Zhu Zi, I heard you've been back for several days now, but you haven't come to see me yet. What's wrong? Have you forgotten about your Brother Li? You still owe me two meals, and I'm keeping an eye on it."
Sha Zhu had only moved in a few days ago, but he hadn't actually forgotten Li Jianguo. He was just too busy lately to have time.
Hearing Brother Li tease him, he laughed and said, "How could that be, Brother Li? I just moved back, so I need to tidy up the house properly. I need to buy all sorts of things like firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and tea."
Besides, I have to go to work every day, so I really don't have time to entertain Brother Li.
How about coming over to my place now for a bit, have some tea? It's the weekend, I'll buy some meat, and then I'll invite Brother Li over for a nice meal."
Li Jianguo waved his hand and said, "No, Director Wang has assigned me a task. I have to go to a nearby courtyard to deliver documents."
By the way, Pillar, the streets have been a bit chaotic lately. Don't go out after dark; it's not safe.
"You should take your sister home quickly, I have to work overtime again today." After saying that, Li Jianguo hurriedly left.
Sha Zhu looked around and saw that the area near the street office had returned to its usual state; the police officers who had been on high alert that morning were nowhere to be seen.
Neighbors were chatting and gossiping nearby, but Sha Zhu didn't join in. He knew what was going on, shook his head helplessly, and pushed his bicycle home, soaked by the rain.
