Zhu Yan discovered that there was an anxious woman in the yard. Seeing the old lady being helped in with blood all over her face, she hurriedly asked what happened.

Zhu Yan said that the old lady fell, and fell quite hard.

The woman was a little confused, so Zhu Yan quickly asked her to find some medicine.

All this busy work took only ten minutes.

After the old lady's bleeding was stopped, she seemed to feel better and quickly asked the woman to bring some water to Zhu Yan to moisten her throat.

"Remember to put a spoonful of sugar in the water. The sugar is on the cabinet in the kitchen." The old lady said, covering her forehead.

Zhu Yan waved her hand and said no, and the old lady looked at her, biting her lip, and asked her if she disliked her poor hospitality, as she had come to her house but refused to even drink a sip of water.

The woman came out with a bowl of water and handed it to Zhu Yan.

Zhu Yan was indeed a little thirsty, and she liked to drink sweet water, so she picked up the bowl and drank most of it.

She smiled and said thank you to the old lady.

The old lady also looked at her with a smile, but there seemed to be something mixed in that smile that she couldn't understand.

Two men suddenly came out from the inner room with thick hemp ropes in their hands.

"You, you guys, you guys are plotting against me?"

Zhu Yan was so angry that her whole body was shaking, but she couldn't help feeling dizzy and she fell down involuntarily.

The laughter of Qin Tian's family rang out in the room.

"Gag him, tie him up, and teach him a lesson. Let the Second Master come over to see him in a couple of days."

"Don't go out these two days. Take turns to guard."

…

When Lu Manyue returned to the steel plant, it was just getting dark. Wang Qiuping said that Zhu Yan had come back and made a mess of the house. She must have gotten into trouble and ran away with the money.

"This little girl always runs to her grandma's house when she gets into trouble. She must have gone to her grandma's house again."

94. “Man Yue, you don’t have to worry about it. She’s always like this. She’ll hide for a few days and come back on her own when we’re no longer angry.” Wang Qiuping said to Lu Manyue nonchalantly.

Lu Manyue was a little worried and planned to call a few people to go look for it.

Someone outside called Wang Qiuping, "Hurry up, your husband Zhu is drunk and wants to pee in the equipment room. He won't listen to us. Go and yell at him. That's new equipment we just bought. If it gets damaged by urine, it will cost you a lot of money."

As Wang Qiuping ran out, he said to Lu Manyue, "Don't look for her. I know my own child. You still have two people to take care of at home. Go back quickly. Your uncle Zhu is drunk again. I have to go there quickly."

Lu Manyue still went to look for someone, but the factory had been checking production capacity and defective products for the past two days, and everyone was very busy. After get off work, they didn't even want to eat the cold food, and they didn't want to go look for someone late at night.

Besides, Wang Qiuping himself said there was no need to look for it.

Everyone felt that Lu Manyue was being too nosy.

Another person said that he seemed to have seen Zhu Yan near the bank today. "Her grandmother's home is in Wangjia Town, two miles ahead of the bank, turn in at the T-junction. She didn't run away, so she must have gone to her grandmother's home."

Are you really going to grandma’s house?

Lu Manyue thought about it and still felt uneasy, so she sat downstairs to rest.

She walked back from the hospital, which was several miles away, and she was very tired.

In addition, her waist was still aching slightly, and she walked too fast and almost got a stitch in the side. She had to take a rest.

After resting for more than ten minutes, she felt better, so she left the steel plant before it got dark and headed for the town where Zhu Yan's grandmother lived.

After walking more than three miles, I saw the bank sign in the distance, and there was a T-junction in front.

She was a little tired of walking, so she sat down to rest.

After resting for a while and preparing to get up, a boy holding a bottle of wine ran out from the direction of Wangjia Town.

He was humming a song as he walked, kicking the pebbles on the road with his feet. The pebbles rolled forward, and he would hum a song while chasing the rolling pebbles, trotting left and right on the road.

Lu Manyue took a closer look and found that the child seemed to have come to the steel plant several times with Grandma Zhu Yan, so she called out tentatively, "Wang Maomao?"

The boy groaned, looked over while holding the bottle of wine, squinted his eyes and stood not far away to look at Lu Manyue carefully.

After a while, he ran over with a smile on his face, "Oh, it's you, I saw you when I was visiting relatives. My sister Yanzi said you are a fake friend who doesn't keep his word."

Lu Manyue felt a pang in her heart.

This is how people evaluate Zhu Yan behind her back.

"Did your sister go to your house today?" Lu Manyue asked Wang Maomao.

Wang Maomao let out an exclamation.

"What? Give me a definite answer whether you went or not." Lu Manyue stretched out her finger in annoyance and tapped Wang Maomao on the head.

Children around seven or eight years old were just as tall as Lu Manyue’s shoulders and had to look up to meet her eyes.

Lu Manyue tapped his head once, and when she was about to tap it a second time, he suddenly ran to the side holding the bottle, then made a face at Lu Manyue and said softly, "My grandma said that you can't touch a man's head or a woman's waist casually."

"You're such a smart kid. You haven't answered me yet whether Zhu Yan went to your house or not." Lu Man insisted on getting a definite answer.

"If my aunt comes to look for me, I will definitely say I'm not here. If my aunt catches her, she will definitely spank her." Wang Maomao said with a wink.

"So is he there or not?"

"It depends on whether you are her real friend or a fake friend. If you are a fake friend who will report her, she will naturally not be in my house."

"What if they are true friends?" Lu Manyue chuckled.

Wang Maomao said seriously, "If she's a true friend, of course she'd be here. When she got into trouble, she would hide at my house. You'd better not betray my sister. If you do, I will definitely throw mud at you next time I see you!"

Lu Manyue smiled and said that she would not betray Zhu Yan, she just wanted to make sure she was safe.

Wang Maomao said "oh".

"Okay, I have to go get some wine for my dad. If I come back late, I'll get scolded."

Wang Maomao turned around and ran, disappearing from sight in a flash.

Lu Manyue got a positive answer and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It was getting late, and she had to go home in the dark to cook.

After she walked away, Wang Maomao suddenly emerged from a grass nest nearby and said to himself, "My sister Yanzi must have gotten into a big trouble this time. She must still be hiding somewhere and will not come out until the people who came to my house to look for her leave.

When we get back, I'll have my dad take a flashlight and shout along the front and back of the house. It would be bad if I fell asleep in the wild and caught a cold like last time."

…

The man in the ward at the end of the corridor turned off the light and slept for more than an hour, then got up again.

Zhou Ruhua, who had finally forced herself to close her eyes and felt a little sleepy, was awakened by the sound of the door opening.

The man went to the bathroom six or seven times that night.

Zhou Ruhua was in terribly pain.

In the second half of the night, she hugged the bed sheet and wanted to go find Wei Dingbang.
