866 So What If You Have Connections

Old Madam Fan really could not win Su Yang, so she let him be. She could still afford to support these two useless people with her pension.

Ever since Qiao Yu saw Li Gui, she had been acting a little crazy. She did not even wake up on time this morning and only got up when everyone else had packed up and left the room.

By the time Qiao Yu finished washing up and went to the canteen, there were only a few steamed buns left. The rest of the dishes and the porridge were all gone. Qiao Yu had no choice but to return to the workshop to get a few small buns to eat.

In her eyes, unpalatable small buns were still better than steamed buns. Steamed buns cost money, but the small buns were free.

During the entire morning, the machine in front of her stopped operating several times. The team leader of the workshop came over to look for her many times. If not for the fact that she found out Qiao Yu had a backer last night, she would have deducted Qiao Yu's salary by now. If the mistake was serious enough, Qiao Yu might even be fired!

The team leader of the workshop even came over to ask Qiao Yu if she was sick and if she needed to go back to the dormitory to rest. The people around were also very curious about what Qiao Yu had experienced.

They recalled that Qiao Yu said she was going to a relative's house last night. Could it be that she had a fight with her relative?

"Qiao Yu, did something happen to your relative? We've seen you go into a daze a few times," asked the older woman sitting beside her.

Qiao Yu shook her head and said with jealousy, "They are a prominent family and run a big business. Even if something happens, it's not something I can solve. I want to help, but they don't need it!"

What Qiao Yu said made sense. They stopped asking about it and changed the topic to talk about Su Yang. The speed at which gossip spread in this place was no slower than back in the village. News spread very quickly!

"Su Liang and Su Yang are both resting at home now. Do you all know that they both seem to be quite seriously injured?" Sister Li said.

"Really? Are you lying to us?" Sister Wang questioned in disbelief.

Among the people in the factory, Sister Li loved to gossip and was probably on par with Auntie Dong from Foshan Village. However, what Auntie Dong said was all based on evidence, but what Sister Li said was usually a mixture of truth and lies. She liked to exaggerate and distort the truth so that everyone would gather around her to listen to her.

"Why would I lie to you! It's absolutely true! Don't I live next to Old Madam Fan's house? I saw everything last night. She got out of the police car with her son! Her son's face was bandaged up! He looked so scary!" As Sister Li spoke, the expression on her face gradually became twisted.

Everyone gradually believed that what Sister Li said was true. They slowed down their work and listened intently to her.

"Previously, I also saw her eldest son after he got his bones broken! I heard that he made the first move and then got beaten up by a pregnant young woman. This young woman is the person who bought the house that their family used to live in," Sister Li said.

Sister Wang asked curiously, "Young woman? How old is she? How can a pregnant woman afford to buy such a big house?"

"She looks so young! She's probably around 20 years old. My father-in-law has a good relationship with this young woman's grandfather. I heard that they're from the countryside and are from a place called… Fo or something. The woman and her family have come to the city to stay with her husband," Sister Li said enviously.

A place called Fo something? In the countryside? About 20 years old… That sounded like Qiao Mei!

Qiao Yu immediately perked up and hurriedly patted Sister Li's shoulder as she asked, "Elder sister! Where do you live?"

Sister Li rubbed her shoulder in pain and said, "Oh my! Qiao Yu, you hit me so hard! My shoulder is almost dislocated!"

Qiao Yu did not care about that. She just wanted to know if that person was Qiao Mei. She held Sister Li's shoulder tightly and stared at her intently as she asked, "Where! Where do you live! Where is that place!"

The people around were all frightened by Qiao Yu's crazy behavior. Sister Li cried out in pain, "Someone! Help! Qiao Yu is going to kill me!"

The team leader of the workshop hurriedly ran over to separate the two women. Sister Li pointed at Qiao Yu and scolded angrily, "Don't think that you're so great just because you have a backer! I'm going to ask the factory director to be the judge of this! Is there no one in charge of this factory! How can you bully people just because you have connections!"
