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

After saying this, Secretary Chu looked at the people who were making trouble. His face showed no emotion, and he looked calm and peaceful.

"I am Secretary Chu from the steel factory you are looking for. Now that I am here, can we go in and find a place to talk slowly?" His eyes fell on Xie's neck, as if assessing the danger.

"There is nothing that cannot be said to others. Who knows what you will do to us if you take us in? Just say it at the door. These are all witnesses." Er Zhuangtou must know Secretary Chu. When he saw him coming, he straightened his back and made a posture that he was ready to fight immediately.

"Yeah! Just solve it at the door. We also want to know what's going on. How can your steel mill drive a good person crazy?" As soon as he finished speaking, someone in the crowd immediately responded.

"Yeah, why do you have to go inside? It's right here."

"That makes sense. You're not afraid of anything."

"Yeah, you can't go in. Who knows what will happen if you go in!"

There are more people watching now. They are also curious. Naturally, they want to see what happens next. They all shout that they can't go in.

Secretary Chu frowned, "It doesn't matter if you say it at the door. Let this lady put down the scissors in her hand first. If you want justice, then ask for justice. Who are you threatening by using scissors to commit suicide now? Now is a world with clear skies. Do you still not believe that the sky under the governance of our great chairman is reasonable? Or do you want to question whether this society is unfair? Do you need to take such measures?"

Secretary Chu's words were not polite at all. He directly exposed the tricks of these people, threatening people with suicide. Although Er Zhuangtou was arrogant, he did not dare to take the charge. He quickly asked Xie's mother to put down the scissors in her hand. Anyway, there were already quite a few people, and the steel plant did not dare to do anything to them.

"Tell me what you want?" Secretary Chu looked at Xie's mother.

"My son has been driven crazy by your steel mill. What kind of justice do you think I should seek?" Xie's mother, who was standing at the back, rushed to the front when she heard his words. She was so excited that she almost pulled Secretary Chu's clothes. However, she looked haggard and had been nervous for so long. She almost fell to the ground before Secretary Chu came. It was Xie's father who quickly supported her.

"Are you okay?" After all, she was his wife, and Xie's father also looked anxious.

"Hey, be careful!" There were also shouts of surprise from the crowd.

Secretary Chu saw that her condition was indeed not good and wanted to ask them to come in and sit down to talk, but he knew that they would not agree, so he had to say to the head of the security department standing beside him: "Bring a few chairs over and let those people sit down."

"Yes." Chief Lu of the security department responded quickly and asked a few people to move the chairs.

There was an office of the security department near the door, and they quickly brought a few chairs and placed them near Xie's mother.

Secretary Chu greeted them, "This lady doesn't look very well, why don't you sit down and talk?"

"Thank you." After all, it was about his wife's health, so Father Xie didn't refuse their kindness. He quickly helped his wife sit down, and he also sat on a chair and let his wife lean on his shoulder.

"It's okay, don't worry, let's talk slowly, the steel plant is not a place where people don't talk nonsense." Secretary Chu was no longer in a hurry.

Father Xie looked like an honest man. He said with great sadness, "We are just rural people. We have been counting on our son to succeed, but who knew he would become like this. I remember how he looked when he graduated from college, but how could such a college student go crazy? We just want justice for our son."
