Chapter 296 The Pretty Widow 14
That’s right, Chu Yuan took action.
She picked up a book on the table, rolled it up and stuffed it into the man's mouth: "Shut up, you're making so much noise!"
Then he grabbed the collar of the kid opposite him and said, "You said my Xiang Song beat you?"
In the eyes of the child, Chu Yuan was like a hideous devil at this moment: "No, no, no, I didn't say that."
The child who was beaten was named Wu Zixu. He was not the one who reported the incident today. After all, children of this age also need to save face. How could they admit that they were beaten outside?
So when his parents asked him about it yesterday, he just said that the injury on his face was caused by falling outside, but this lie was soon exposed.
Wu Zixu's father was a member of the Revolutionary Committee. It was not easy for him to investigate how his son was injured. He could just grab a few people in the school and ask them.
The Revolutionary Committee was now in its heyday and almost no one would offend them, so the fight between Wu Zixu and Liu Xiangsong was quickly reported.
So we have this scene today.
Chu Yuan observed the injuries on Wu Zixu's face. Apart from looking a little serious, there was nothing serious. She could understand the anxiety a mother would feel when she saw her child injured.
But this is not a reason for them to insult Xiang Song.
At this time, Wu Zixu's mother finally recovered from the severe pain and took out the thing Chu Yuan stuffed into her mouth: "Nonsense, the wound on our Zixu's face is caused by this..."
Just when she was about to blurt out the word "bastard", she suddenly saw Chu Yuan's clenched fists and moving ankles.
So she silently swallowed the word that she had not yet said.
There was no way. She was really afraid that this woman would come up and beat her up.
"It was your child who beat him up. Many people saw it. Don't try to deny it!"
Chu Yuan saw Xiang Song's nervous expression and had an idea in mind: "Xiang Song, come here, can you tell your aunt why you beat him?"
Xiang Song felt very aggrieved when he recalled the scene at that time: "Aunt, Wu Zixu said that I was a burden and that sooner or later you would abandon me and my brother. I was so angry that..."
So that's how it is. Chu Yuan held his hand tightly, and this action seemed to give Xiang Song unlimited courage and confidence.
Before she could speak, the person on the other side spoke again: "So what? My Zixu is not wrong. You are a young woman. Sooner or later, you will remarry. Can you still support these two brothers for the rest of your life?"
Chu Yuan raised his leg and kicked them again: "What does our family's affairs have to do with you? Do you need to say anything here? Besides, I want to support them for the rest of their lives, so what? Do I have to eat your rice?"
"You dare to hit me? My man is a member of the Revolutionary Committee! Believe it or not, I'll tell him to arrest your whole family and put them in jail!"
Chu Yuan sneered: "I'm sorry, I'm not afraid. If you have the guts, just call him over. But today, if you and your son want to walk out of this door, you must apologize to me immediately!"
There is no need to waste time talking to such unreasonable people. Chu Yuan has always believed that fighting violence with violence is the best way to deal with injustice.
For example, now, no matter how domineering the other party’s attitude was at the beginning, we still had to bow and apologize to them.
Although he made some harsh words before leaving.
Chu Yuan didn't take it seriously, turned to the teacher and said, "Thank you so much for what you did today."
The teacher was still a little frightened. Aunt Xiang Song was too domineering!
"It's okay, it's okay. This is my duty."
After resolving this matter, Xiang Song returned to the classroom to continue his class.
Chu Yuan put on an invisibility cloak and secretly followed Wu Zixu and his mother, and found out the location of their home.
After finding out that there were only the mother and son at home, and that they had not left since returning home, Chu Yuan quietly left.
Only then did she have time to report to the bookstore with the manuscripts she had translated.
Fortunately, she had always kept the manuscripts and magazines in her space. Before she got a work permit to prove her identity, Chu Yuan would not put any foreign language books in public.
It's better to be safe than sorry. If she gets caught, she will have no way to defend herself.
This time when she came to the bookstore, the middle-aged man from last time was not there, so Chu Yuan met the boss directly. He was very satisfied with the manuscript translated by Chu Yuan and directly paid her the salary for this manuscript.
Chu Yuan finally earned his first pot of gold in this world, although it was only seven dollars, it was also because the article itself was very short.
After passing the test, Chu Yuan officially became a translator at Xinhua Bookstore, enjoying all the benefits of a formal employee, but without having to go to work on time every day.
The salary is determined based on the number of words translated. For ordinary books, the salary is three yuan per thousand words, while for professional books, due to their higher difficulty, the salary can be five yuan per thousand words.
Chu Yuan roughly calculated that a book would have at least 100,000 words, which means each book would cost about 500 yuan.
At her pace, she could finish translating a book in a month. This salary was considered very high in China in the late 60s.
However, Chu Yuan's plan is to proceed step by step, first calculating one book every two months, and then gradually shortening the time as his proficiency improves. This speed is more reasonable.
Chu Yuan took a book on mechanics and left that day, agreeing to hand in the manuscript in two months.
The Chinese New Year will be coming soon by then, and I can celebrate after getting my salary.
After returning home, Chu Yuan did not rush to start her translation work because she still had a big problem to solve.
He is Wu Zixu’s father.
What the woman said today was not alarmist. In that era, the Revolutionary Committee had great power, and it was easy to find a crime to frame them.
Chu Yuan couldn't take risks with his child, so this matter must not leave any consequences.
The best way to deal with the enemy is to get hold of something that is fatal to them.
She just couldn't believe that this man, who was so successful in the Revolutionary Committee, would not do anything that could not stand up to scrutiny?
If you really can't find any evidence, just use a needle to prick him half way and see how he can still cause trouble outside.
Anyway, these people in the Revolutionary Committee have persecuted countless national talents, so any punishment they receive is not excessive.
Chu Yuan didn't have any psychological burden, she was just doing justice for the people.
So after nightfall, Chu Yuan put on an invisibility cloak and began her actions for the night.
There was no surveillance on the roads in those days, and the nights in East City were extremely cold, so almost no one would go out at this time, making it a perfect opportunity for robbery.
