He Jinxuan finished signing and put down the pen, waved to Little Zhang: "Letâs go, letâs take a look."
When they got closer, they saw a worker being helped out.
He Jinxuan quickly squeezed in: "What happened?"
Someone who knew the details replied quickly: "Improper operation, cleaned iron filings off the workpiece with gloves without stopping the machine, hurt the hand."
The factory leadership who got the news also hurried over, only to find out after inquiring that the work was meant for two people. Because the head of group three, Lyu Juncheng, temporarily left, leaving it to be completed by just one person.
Due to the heavy workload, in order to complete the production task faster, Cui Zhuzi violated operational procedures and cleaned iron filings off the workpiece with gloves without stopping the machine. If someone hadnât walked by and stopped the machine, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
The injured worker directly lost half a finger, and the family made a scene at the factory. The factory quickly came up with a resolution. Lyu Juncheng left his post during work hours and held major responsibility; his group leader position was revoked due to his good attitude in admitting his mistake.
And the injured worker Liang Congrong, because he did indeed violate procedures, also had to bear some responsibility, but due to special circumstances, the punishment was light.
But because of this incident, Liang Congrongâs family resented Lyu Juncheng. Sure enough, in the evening, Liang Congrongâs wife directly went to Lyu Junchengâs house to demand an explanation.
When Lyu Juncheng returned, he saw a crowd around his yard, with Yao Hui arguing with Liang Congrongâs wife: "You canât come looking for my family because of this, canât even allow people to go to the toilet. Your familyâs problem isnât my Jun Chengâs fault."
Lyu Juncheng was clearly upset, in no mood to do anything, so he hid outside to smoke, but dared not admit it, only saying his stomach was uncomfortable and he went to the toilet.
Liang Congrongâs wife said: "Whether itâs a stomach ache, he knows in his heart. If it werenât for him being lazy, my Congrong wouldnât have rushed tasks and violated procedures. Lyu Juncheng is just a troublemaker."
Lyu Juncheng was indeed at fault, and combined with Liang Congrongâs wifeâs aggressiveness, he was forced to agree to compensate them fifty yuan. Because Lyu Juncheng had no money at the moment, he said he would repay five yuan every month until it was paid off.
Yu Xinyan heard about this from Zhao Jianlan and was somewhat schadenfreude, but didnât show it.
Zhao Jianlan nudged Yu Xinyan with her elbow: "You donât know, now in our family courtyard, people are saying all kinds of things. Some say Lyu Juncheng got his comeuppance, some say Yao Hui is a jinx. Itâs quite lively."
Yu Xinyan laughed at her mischievous look, thinking to herself that now Lyu Juncheng hasnât become the workshop director, and even lost the group leader position, thereâs bound to be some good drama.
She thought right, Yao Hui was originally mad at Lyu Juncheng for agreeing to send the family twenty yuan a month. Now, with an extra debt of five yuan every month, she directly lost her temper: "Lyu Juncheng, what exactly are you doing? Sheâs clearly extorting you, why did you agree to her?"
Lyu Juncheng looked unpleasant: "Enough, Iâve had enough. Canât you say a few less words?"
Yao Hui completely exploded: "Every month you send twenty yuan back home and another five yuan to the Liang family, how much will we have left? Wonât the family have nothing to eat?"
What she didnât say was that the group leader position was gone, and the salary would decrease by two and a half yuan, leaving only thirty-three and a half yuan each month. Considering what has to be given away, can the family still live?
Lyu Juncheng also got angry, blurting out: "If it werenât for you, would I be in this situation now?"
