Chapter 29 Sending a favor
The administrator smiled helplessly with his hands spread out.
"But each of them has their own reasons. Although I want to help you, I still have to rely on your own integrity to stop the gossips."
"So...what do you mean?"
"Didn't they say you stole something? How many pockets are there on your clothes? Turn them out and let them look carefully. If it's really not you who did it, I will ask her to apologize."
The administrator looked at the child's mother, the smile on his face never faded.
The latter seemed to be stimulated, threw the child into the father's arms, and said to the public: "Yes! Look in your pocket! It's useless to say anything else! If I wronged her, I, I apologize!"
"Well, in that case, I'll inconvenience you, little girl."
Looking at the administrator's hypocritical face, Anjiu knew that if he didn't follow her method today, he would never be able to leave here.
After figuring it out, she turned her pockets inside out. Apart from a candy with a purple crust, there were only gloves with rotten fingers, and no lollipop at all.
Anjiu looked at the administrator, "This proves my innocence, right?"
The clothes she was wearing were distributed free of charge by the Hive officials. Every resident above the 30th floor was given a set. The advantages were that they were resistant to dirt and wear, and not easy to rot. The disadvantages were that they felt hard to the touch, were old in color, and had only one pocket on them.
Now that the pocket has been turned inside out, it is impossible to hide anything inside the loose clothes.
The facts are clear, she was wrongly accused.
The smile on the administrator's face disappeared, and he looked at the child's mother meaningfully, with a hint of authority in his voice, "What else do you have to say now?"
"This, this..." The child's mother stammered and couldn't say a word.
"I, Wei Shuhua, always keep my word and never wrongly accuse anyone! Now that the facts are in front of you, you should apologize to this girl as we agreed before."
The serious administrator looked quite intimidating.
The child's mother didn't dare to offend him, so she could only walk up to Anjiu with an ugly look on her face. It seemed like there was phlegm stuck in her throat, and she quickly uttered something incoherent.
"What?" An Jiu scratched his ears, "I didn't hear anything."
The child's mother's face suddenly turned purple.
"I didn't hear it either." The administrator added lightly.
The child's mother was having trouble breathing: "...I said, I wronged you!"
"Don't you have to say sorry when you apologize? Also, if it was your shoes that did something wrong, why did you hurt me?" Anjiu didn't give the other party a chance to answer. He turned around and bowed deeply to the administrator.
"Thank you for enforcing the law impartially. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to explain myself today. You are the fairest and kindest administrator I have ever met! I will pray for you day and night, and hope you will live a long and healthy life and make a fortune."
After a few compliments, Wei Shuhua would be cheered up no matter how unhappy she was.
Sure enough, her renewed smile showed some sincerity, and she even looked at An Jiu straight in the eye.
"You are all good children in the hive. Sometimes there are some minor unhappiness. As administrators, we should help mediate. As long as things are done well, nothing else matters. As for the blessings you said, I accept them with a smile."
Wei Shuhua clenched her fist and punched her leg to disperse the crowd.
"It's getting late, let's all go home soon."
The child's mother was choked by Anjiu and couldn't breathe out or swallow it. She didn't get a chance to interrupt and now she was being driven away. She lost a lot of face tonight, especially because she didn't please the administrator.
Before she could say anything else, Wei Shuhua gave her a sharp look.
Her man hurriedly covered her mouth, forcibly pulled her back into the room, and closed and locked the door in one go.
In less than a minute, the corridor was cleared.
Wei Shuhua looked at Anjiu meaningfully, then walked slowly forward with her cane.
The underlying meaning is so obvious.
An Jiu chased after him and stopped when he was half a step away from Wei Shuhua.
She said in a sincere voice: "You helped me so much today. I'm stupid and don't know how to thank you. After thinking about it, I still want to give you a little gift. This candy was recommended by Boss Zhang. He said it's very sweet. I haven't opened it yet. If you don't mind, please accept it."
As she spoke, she stuffed the candy into Wei Shuhua's empty palm.
"What are you doing?" Wei Shuhua stopped in surprise and looked at the delicate sugar coating in shock. "I have enough food, how can I accept your things? You need energy more than me."
An Jiu took a step back, shook his head, and said stubbornly: "A drop of water should be repaid with a spring. I don't have a spring, only a candy. You have to accept it, otherwise I will feel uneasy."
Wei Shuhua burst out laughing, "You are quite good at talking, little girl. Well, in that case, I can't refuse anymore. By the way, what's your name?"
After she put the candy into her pocket, An Jiu spoke his name clearly.
"Anjiu? Which jiu?"
"Wine for drinking."
Wei Shuhua looked up and down at the thin body covered by the loose clothes and defined: "It seems that your father is an alcoholic."
……
"Why have you been gone so long?"
As soon as I entered the door, Grandma An came to greet me.
"I was delayed on the way."
Anjiu walked past Grandma An, took out the bowl of water from the red bucket, and drank a few big gulps.
After relieving her thirst, she walked a few steps to the bed and sat down against the wall, stretching her tired body after a day of work.
Mining is really hard work.
She now had trouble lifting a finger and was very hungry.
After Grandma An closed the iron gate, she sat over and massaged her thighs and calves.
Anjiu wanted to refuse, but after her sore muscles were pressed, she felt so comfortable that her waist and back relaxed.
Grandma An then increased the strength of her hands.
About two or three minutes later, Anjiu said she felt much better. She got out of bed, took two bowls from the bucket, and took out the instant noodles that she had put in her pocket in advance and removed the outer packaging bag.
Break it in half along the center line, and the crumbs will fall into the bowl.
Grandma An stood up and looked at her in disbelief and joy. "Are you back with food again?"
The little old lady's eyes seemed to light up. She carefully held the bottom of the bowl, put her nose close to it and took a deep breath.
“It tastes like noodles!”
"Of course, they call it noodle cake, which is made of flour." Anjiu said half-truthfully.
If someone brings food home for two consecutive days, the careful Grandma An will always be suspicious.
If the black market has always existed, it is impossible that Grandma An has not heard of it at her age. It would be better to use it to make a raft, at least it can explain the source of food.
As for the contribution value, Grandma An would not take the initiative to ask to see it unless she said it.
"They? Who? Are they the people on the 44th floor?"
