Yesterday evening’s incident, Tian Xiang was a witness and one of the people who reported it.
The comrades at the police station, in order to protect the information of the public, cannot disclose her details unless it’s related to the case or required by the organization.
Tian Xiang is not from Red Fifth Street, and no one knows her from the resettlement area.
Everyone only knows that last night there was a fierce young woman, first looking for someone, then kicking doors, valiant throughout the process.
As for her name or where she came from, only the police station investigators are aware.
Even people from Red Fifth Street don’t know, and once it spread to Sanli Lane, there’s even less knowledge about her.
Everyone only knows she’s a brave and enthusiastic member of the public.
Knowing she became an unsung hero, Tian Xiang felt quite embarrassed.
"Dad, Mom, the enthusiastic member of the public is me!"
Tian Xiang quickly told her parents about her bold and fearless deeds last night.
Of course, she didn’t dare mention how she almost got hit by a flower pot and was entangled by troublemakers.
Hu Honglian and Tian Weibing were dumbfounded listening.
Hu Honglian: "Xiangxiang, you’re not kidding, are you?"
Enthusiastic member of the public turned out to be my dear sweet daughter!
Tian Xiang: "About things like this, there’s nothing to joke about. Mom, I said I would find evidence of his misbehaviors, and I did it."
Although she didn’t completely defeat Lu Zazha, this time he suffered a heavy setback.
The daughter indeed said such words before.
But...
Hu Honglian began scolding her daughter, "You silly child, you are too gutsy, running into dark alleys in the middle of the night without fearing consequences? You rushed ahead, Lu Feng noticed, and if he holds a grudge, what will happen if he seeks revenge on you later? Even if he doesn’t dare, what you did last night at the forefront was very dangerous, do you know? If those two get angry and start something with you, oh my dear daughter! If you can’t fight back, you’ll suffer losses; just imagining the situation makes my heart race. I’m telling you, you can’t be so reckless anymore! Anything you must tell Mom, Mom will help you! Look at these years, hasn’t Mom taken you everywhere? So why is it that when it comes to you, it’s all done quietly by yourself, leaving Mom out?"
Hu Honglian was very angry.
Tian Xiang hugged her mother’s arm, acting cute, "Mom, it’s not like I don’t involve you, I’m just afraid you wouldn’t believe me! I planned thoroughly this time, nothing would happen. Of course, next time something like this happens, I’ll definitely tell you."
Hu Honglian pouted, she’s not so easily convinced.
Tian Xiang changed the subject, pulling out the recommendation letter given by Director Jiang.
"Dad, Mom, look! I’m about to have a job! Hehehe..."
Job?
Hu Honglian immediately perked up.
Tian Xiang unfolded the recommendation letter for the two to see.
Seeing that the letter was written by Chairman Jiang of the factory’s labor union, the two elders were so happy they were almost flying.
Previously, Hu Honglian put so much thought into finding a Red Fifth Street match for her daughter, mainly for a decent job.
With the incident involving Lu Feng, she was ready to give up, but unexpectedly...
"With this recommendation letter, can you enter the Mechanical Factory? As a staff officer from the union?"
Hu Honglian was thrilled, a staff officer is great, even if the work is a bit miscellaneous, it’s much easier than a regular workshop.
Tian Xiang: "As it’s a recommendation from Chairman Jiang, it should be roughly about right, I’ll find out the specifics when I get there the day after tomorrow."
Tian Xiang wasn’t sure, but with fair and just Chairman Jiang writing the recommendation, it should be secure.
Hu Honglian slapped her thigh, "Xiangxiang, let’s go, let’s wander the market with Mom."
Buy something delicious to celebrate.
The mother and daughter arm-in-arm just about to head out.
Next door, the sounds of someone slamming a table and throwing things came through the thin brick wall.
The mother and daughter looked at each other.
Tian Xiang took a book, rolled it into a horn shape, and listened through the wall for gossip.
Hu Honglian leaned beside her daughter, whispering, "What are they saying?"
"Mom, don’t interrupt for now."
"Alright, alright..."
Not far, Tian Weibing sitting by the small table was already accustomed, sighing while picking up the basket for groceries.
"Forget it, I’ll go to the market."
If later, there’s nothing good left.
Hu Honglian waved her hand, go on, go on.
Tian Weibing left.
Tian Xiang listened at the wall for a while, clear about what the fuss was nearby.
Tian Chuying heard Lu Feng was admitted to the clinic and wanted to go take care of him.
Now Lu Feng’s reputation was ruined, the daughter’s parents certainly didn’t want her to associate with him again.
Wouldn’t that be seeking humiliation?
Because of the engagement scandal, Tian Chuying’s reputation was already bad.
If Lu Feng was a decent person, you might say her admiration was hard to hide due to his impressive qualities, making a mistake.
But with Lu Feng in this state, and Tian Chuying still wanting to align with him, wouldn’t that be like a widow chasing after a man?
It’s too disgraceful, no respectable family’s girl would do such a thing.
The family forbade it, but Tian Chuying insisted on going, leading to a quarrel at home between mother and daughter.
Tian Chuying was quite stubborn, grabbing her bag and running out directly.
He Cuifen pointed at her daughter and scolded, "Run, go ahead and run! If you have guts, don’t come back to this home!"
With "Extremely Villainous 7" written on her forehead, He Cuifen spat frantically, her angry face flushed red.
Tian Chuying slowed her steps a bit, eventually gritting her teeth and continued running.
In the courtyard, curious onlookers were bewildered, collectively asking what happened to Tian Chuying? Where is she going?
He Cuifen was embarrassed, quickly shutting the door.
Next door, Hu Honglian and Tian Xiang watched with arms akimbo and laughed knowingly.
Tian Chuying insisting on jumping into the firepit, outsiders enjoy watching the show.
At night during dinner, the second household was in high spirits, because Tian Xiang was soon going to work; they made egg soup and stir-fried beans with shredded meat. The family of three enjoyed a happy meal.
On the other side, the first household, because Tian Chuying hadn’t returned, didn’t even cook; they ate stale bread with hot water instead.
The next day, Tian Xiang went to the theater in the morning, and tidied up the house in the afternoon, even took out the newest set of clothes she made and pressed them with hot water and porcelain cups until they were crisp.
Since she had an interview coming up, Hu Honglian woke her daughter up early the following day, urging her to dress properly.
When going to an interview, one must present well and not squander the opportunity given by Chairman Jiang.
Tian Xiang complied, clipping her bangs up when combing her hair, revealing her smooth forehead.
Hmm, she looked somewhat mature this way.
During breakfast, Hu Honglian observed her daughter intently.
Not bad at all, her Xiangxiang is the prettiest.
Previously in Sanli Lane, her daughter was the courtyard flower, now going to the Mechanical Factory, that factory flower title has to change hands.
Tian Xiang’s interview is at nine o’clock, not too early, she could go leisurely later.
Hu Honglian had to go to work first, instructing her daughter to bring her graduation certificate and relevant documents before leaving.
Tian Xiang saw her mother out, listening attentively.
At half past eight, Tian Xiang wheeled her bicycle out, and at the courtyard gate bumped into Pan Yuzhen who was about to go buy groceries.
"Xiangxiang, where are you heading to today?"
Tian Xiang smiled, "Haven’t I graduated a few months now, going out to check job information."
Today was just an interview, not entirely confirmed, better to keep expectations low.
Pan Yuzhen: "No rush on this matter, the key is finding a good one, since work is a lifelong thing."
Tian Xiang nodded, "Absolutely."
Reaching the Mechanical Factory, even the guard uncle recognized her.
"Looking for Mr. Meng or Chairman Jiang today?"
Tian Xiang handed over the recommendation letter, "Uncle, neither, I’m here for an interview today."
