From the History of the Republic of China to Raising Children in the 1970s

"Brother Li." It takes about five or six minutes to walk from the factory office to the gate. As Li Chengye was walking, he heard someone calling him from behind. Li Chengye stopped, and the next second someone put his hand on his shoulder.

"Brother Li, you're walking so fast. I almost couldn't catch up with you. You're running so fast." Hu Liren handed most of his weight to Li Chengye, and he was paralyzed, panting.

"Hurry up and let go. I still have things to do!" Li Chengye was not in the mood to argue with Hu Liren at this time. He was troubled by the stall at the door.

"I know, I know, I'll go with you." After all, he was young, and Hu Liren came over after a while, showing a very obedient look to Li Chengye.

Li Chengye had no choice but to take him there.

Outside the steel plant, there were already quite a few people, all of them were nearby residents, making a lot of noise and surrounding the troublemakers in a semicircle. So when Li Chengye arrived at the door, he could still see the situation inside clearly. At this time, almost all the security guards in the factory were out, standing at the door. In front of them were five or six people, and behind those five or six people stood a middle-aged woman who looked very haggard and pitiful. She was holding a pair of scissors against her neck. There was a little red on the tip of the scissors, and there was also red on her neck. The scissors must have cut the skin on her neck.

The scissors looked really sharp and flashing. It didn't look like a pretense. No wonder the guards at the door were so worried. In peacetime, every life is precious, so they have to be extra cautious.

The scene was peaceful at this time. Those who came to make trouble just stared at the guards at the door vigilantly to prevent them from taking any force. No one spoke, as if they were gathering their strength and waiting for the arrival of important people. They had just made a scene, so they were really taking a break.

Li Chengye was about to walk over when he found Chairman Wan walking over here. He was a little anxious and his face was not looking very good.

"Chairman Wan." Li Chengye walked over quickly.

"Hey, Secretary Li, what's going on now? When will Secretary Chu and his team come back?" Chairman Wan saw Li Chengye also quickly approaching him, and then asked anxiously.

"Secretary Chu and his team have already left the county government and should be back in 20 minutes. The group of people at the door are Comrade Xie Jinrong's parents and relatives. Xie Jinrong himself has a mental illness, and he failed the exam this time, so his illness relapsed. These people said they wanted to come and seek justice for Xie Jinrong..."

Li Chengye quickly told Chairman Wan a brief account of the situation.

Chairman Wan frowned, "Are you sure he has a mental illness?"

Li Chengye nodded, "Of course, when we sent him to the hospital, the doctor gave a diagnosis saying that it might be a family hereditary disease, but some people have seizures and some don't. And many workers can prove that Xie Jinrong is sometimes abnormal."

Chairman Wan nodded, and his expression relaxed. As long as their steel factory didn't drive him crazy, it would be easy to say. "Then let's go now."

Chairman Wan rushed over first after he finished speaking, and Li Chengye and Hu Liren followed him.

"Hey, someone came out from inside, and the one in front looks like an official." Just as Chairman Wan went out, someone in the crowd shouted.

"He must be an official. His aura is different from that of ordinary people!"
