They all accepted the money, and then each of them swore to keep their mouths shut and not to tell anyone that Chen Yunyun was not injured.

"If there's anything at the raw material plant, they'll come directly to your house to report it. I have other things to do at the team, so I'll be going now."

After Captain Zhang left, only four people remained in the room.

Neither Chen Laosan nor Song Xiaofen had ever met Xia Lan before. When Captain Zhang told them that she was the commune's women's director, they smiled ingratiatingly at her and served her tea and water.

"Leader Xia, look at the mess this has made. We were just disciplining our child normally, and it's turned into such a serious matter, with everyone making a mountain out of a molehill. I'd really appreciate it if you could come and supervise this..."

Song Xiaofen is trying to save face.

Xia Lan and Chen Yunyun were close, and Xia Lan already knew what kind of person this old woman was.

When the old woman initiated the conversation, Xia Lan twitched the corners of her mouth and chuckled coldly.

Seeing that Xia Lan ignored her, Song Xiaofen didn't want to make a fool of herself.

She gave Chen Laosan a wink, and the two of them went outside, saying they were going to gather firewood, but no one saw it with their own eyes, and no one knows what they actually did outside.

Xia Lan watched as Song Xiaofen and Chen Laosan disappeared through the front door before she sat down beside Chen Yunyun's bed. "So this is the favor you wanted me to do?"

Chen Yunyun smiled and nodded, her face no longer pale. "Is the baby behaving well with you?"

She figured the family causing trouble would arrive soon, so she sent the child to Xia Lan's house.

Xia Lan loves children, and so does her younger sister. "They are both very good, especially sensible and obedient. They just read books at home."

“Especially your third child, he won’t make a fuss as long as there’s food. He’s so obedient.”

Yes, all three of Chen Yunyun's children are easy to take care of.

"However, let's bring the child back as soon as possible. Xu Jingtian has mentioned missing you several times."

Chen Yunyun replied, "It should be soon."

The three children had never been away from her for so long before, and Chen Yunyun was actually very reluctant to part with them.

The most important reason she sent the children away was that they were her weakness; she was worried that these few desperate people would hurt the children.

"Hmm, you've thought it through. In my opinion, you should send your family of vampires to prison to properly cure their bad habits."

Chen Yunyun chuckled, "You're the women's director, aren't you?"

Xia Lan plopped down. "So what if I'm the women's director? Can't I even say a few words to them if I don't like it?"

"Alright, I know you're worried about me, but I definitely won't let them take advantage of me!"

Xia Lan knew that Chen Yunyun was a very opinionated person, and since she had said so, she could only choose to believe her. "My sister and brother-in-law will take good care of the child for you, so don't worry."

After the two finished chatting, a little dumpling came in through the front door.

"Aunt Chen, are you home?" came a small voice.

Chen Yunyun recognized the person as Xiao Fubao from next door.

"Come in."

Having received confirmation, Xiao Fubao stood up straight and ran in.

She has a pair of beautiful, clear eyes that look especially pure when she looks at people. "Aunt Chen, are you feeling better?"

Captain Zhang was able to arrive so promptly thanks to Xiao Fubao's tip-off.

Chen Yunyun had no ill intentions towards Xiao Fubao; it was just a difference in their stances.

Now that Xiao Fubao had done her a favor, Chen Yunyun's attitude towards her became gentler and more sincere. "Auntie is alright now. Thank you for going to call for help. Xiao Fubao, you're so brave."

Little Fu Bao's eyes crinkled into crescent moons with a smile after receiving Aunt Chen's praise.

[System Task: The male protagonist's crisis will trigger in one hour. Please help the male protagonist resolve the crisis.]

Just as Chen Yunyun and Xiao Fubao were talking, a system notification popped up.

This task was released a while ago, but it was in a grayed-out state.

However, the mission had already been activated at this moment, and Chen Yunyun clicked on the details to understand the cause and effect.

Xu Zhitie discovered the connection between the female protagonist, Xiao Fubao, and the male protagonist, Lu Changting. At this time, the male protagonist was a notorious member of the "Five Black Categories".

Xu Zhitie was worried that contact with the "Five Black Categories" would cause trouble, so he and Xu Zhiyin beat up the male lead and threatened him, saying that he was not allowed to get close to the female lead again.

There is actually a similar passage in the original book, but Xu Zhitie is not the deputy factory director in the original book, so he is not involved in this part of the plot.

Then, in this storyline, Xu Zhitie cherishes his reputation and cannot tolerate anyone tarnishing it, so he takes drastic measures against the male protagonist.

The medical conditions here are poor, and the male protagonist is considered a "black element" (a derogatory term for individuals with criminal records), so no one is willing to treat him, and it could even lead to him becoming disabled...

A disabled person cannot be the male lead; the whole world would collapse if that happened.

After reading all the detailed information, Chen Yunyun figured that the mission would be triggered in an hour, which meant that Xu Zhitie was still unaware of it at that time.

As if remembering something, Chen Yunyun tentatively asked Xiao Fubao, "Xiao Fubao, Auntie really likes you. Can you play here with Auntie a little longer?"

Little Fu Bao really wanted to agree, but she hesitated for a moment and replied, "Aunt Chen, I've already made plans with my friend."

After being scolded by Grandpa Lu last time, Xiao Fubao never went to see Lu Changting again.

After Lu Changting finished his work, he realized that Xiao Fubao hadn't appeared for almost half a month, so he took the initiative to make an appointment with Xiao Fubao.

Chen Yunyun's heart sank to the bottom as Xiao Fubao said it; it was just as she had thought.
