She quickly squatted in the grass nest next to her, planning to wait until the person passed by before going back to her parents' home to ask her brother for advice.

"No one is allowed to tell anyone about what happened today. Do you hear me?" Wang Jinhua's voice was trembling and mixed with tears.

Li Fen peeked out through the gap in the grass and found that Wang Jinhua's eyes were swollen as big as walnuts, and it was obvious that she had been crying for a long time.

"Sister, you don't have to tell me. I will also make them keep their mouths shut and never reveal a single word. It's just... we have to have a unified voice when we return to the factory."

"I'll just say that I'm going to cancel my leave early and go back to the countryside to continue building our country's rural areas." Wang Jinhua said, her teeth chattering, her voice full of resentment: "When you get back, give Lu Manyue a good beating. Make sure she's as miserable as possible!"

"This is a simple matter. We will do it when we get back. We will definitely do it to your satisfaction!"

After everyone had passed by, Li Fen slowly walked out of the grass nest and returned to her parents' home thoughtfully.

Her parents' home is in Lijiaao, not far from the steel plant.

As soon as she walked outside her mother's house, she started wiping her tears, crying and calling for her brother.

A man walked out of the farmyard, wearing a new suit of blue khaki cloth. He had a fair complexion, smiling eyes, and looked to be only thirty years old.

When he saw Li Fen, he was obviously stunned, and then looked behind her anxiously. When he saw that there was no one there, he quickly pulled Li Fen into the yard.

Li Fen threw herself into her brother's arms and cried uncontrollably, muttering on and on about her complaints.

When he heard that Wei Dingbang had a gun, Li Ruliang frowned and immediately said, "He has a gun and he used it to shoot people. You are not the only one who heard the gunshot. You should report it to the police and ask them to arrest him. If they arrest him, won't Lu Manyue fall into your hands again?"

Li Fen sobbed, "Brother, I'm scared...When he looked at me, it looked like he really wanted to kill someone."

"What are you afraid of? You went to the police without telling him. You're guilty of armed crime and deserve a minimum sentence of five years of hard labor. Aren't five years enough for you to kill Lu Manyue?" Li Ruliang looked disappointed.
