The room suddenly became chaotic.
Lu Deping's face turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his whole body was shaking like a leaf in the wind. He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word, and his eyes and eyebrows were full of pain.
Shen Hongyu didn't realize anything was wrong yet, and said smugly, "If you know your place, get out of my way. I don't want to live with you anymore. I'm leaving!"
At this time, everyone at the door was scared to death. Goudan's mother kept howling, "Hurry up and come out, something happened, someone is going to die, hurry up and come here!!"
Shen Hongyu also felt some warm liquid flowing along the scissors to her hand. She looked down and found that the scissors in her hand had been stabbed into Lu Deping's stomach at some point.
She also screamed at once, "Ahhhhh, I didn't mean to do that!"
She was so frightened that she pulled out the scissors and threw them aside, and quickly explained to Lu Deping, "I didn't mean to do that. I just wanted to scare you. How did it really go in?"
As she pulled out, Lu Deping twitched again and couldn't utter a word.
Shen Hongyu was completely stunned. She looked at her hands, which were covered in blood, a glaring bright red color. She smelled an overwhelming smell of blood.
Just when Shen Hongyu was stunned, the person at the door finally removed the door panel and rushed in.
Everyone saw that there was a hole in Lu Deping's stomach, and a lot of blood gushed out of the hole with every breath. With every breath, the ground was covered with blood.
Goudan's mother was so frightened that she was almost out of her wits. "What should we do? Should we lift him up or something?"
"I don't know either. We can't just do that. If someone dies on the way, will we be held responsible?"
"People are in such a state now, why are you still thinking about being responsible? Saving people is the most important thing." Someone shouted immediately.
"But how can we save people? We are not doctors. Besides, if we leave, what will happen to this woman? What if she runs away?"
The house was in a mess, and the old neighbors who came to rescue him were also confused. They didn't know what to do. They talked at once. Someone said they should quickly call a doctor, and then someone else said they should carry Lu Deping away.
As a result, as soon as they touched Lu Deping, he twitched and blood gushed out again.
Everyone was terrified, and finally someone remembered, "Oh, there's a policeman living in our alley. Quick, call Xiaolin and his wife over."
Goudan's mother ran to the courtyard door and knocked hard, "Xiaolin, Xiaolin, are you home? Is anyone there? Open the door quickly, something has happened."
At this time, Lin Minjun was sitting in the kitchen eating with her husband and brother-in-law. Erwa was particularly happy when he knew she was pregnant. He said he would help the children with their homework and would never despise them for being stupid. Then he said he would take the children to play together.
At this moment, all three of them heard the sound of the door.
Erwa stood up and said, "I'll go open the door and take a look."
After opening the door, Goudan's mother rushed in, panting and pleading, "Xiao Li, there's an incident at the house in the back! A woman stabbed a man, and he's bleeding now. Go and have a look. It's a mess now, and we don't know what to do."
Yan Li immediately stood up and walked out, and Lin Minjun wanted to follow him.
Yan Li: "Ajun, you stay at home. I'll go."
"You can't handle it all by yourself, and I'm not pregnant yet, so it's not inconvenient. I'll go with you and take a look," said Lin Minjun.
She was also shocked when she heard the news and wanted to go see what was going on.
Yan Li: "I was afraid you would be frightened. There should be a lot of blood on the scene right now."
Lin Minjun thought for a moment and said, "How about this? I'll just stand at the door and watch. If I feel uncomfortable, I'll come back immediately."
The couple went out together and walked to the house at the back. As soon as they arrived at the door, Lin Minjun was shocked. She stood at the door and looked inside, and saw Shen Hongyu sitting stupidly on the ground with blood on her hands. The blood had coagulated and turned dark red. She looked like a murderer.
Lu Deping's face was as pale as paper and he couldn't even speak. When he saw Yan Li coming over, he forced himself to point at his stomach to show him where the wound was.
Yan Li walked over, kicked aside all the debris, and ordered, "Clean up all the broken glass and other things from the door to here. The injured will be out soon. Also find me some gauze. If you don't have gauze, a clean towel will do. It must be clean. Also find me a cart. I'll go right away."
With his arrival, it seemed as if the place had a backbone, and now everyone knew what they should do.
Some of them quickly took brooms and mops and swept the road to make way for the injured. Some people hurried home to find towels, while the rest stood there and refused to look for a cart.
"Why don't you go find a cart?" Yan Li asked.
Someone said, "Shouldn't we take him to the hospital now? It's a waste of time to find a stroller."
"He is bleeding so heavily now, we have to stop the bleeding first, otherwise if we send him to the hospital like this, he will die before reaching the hospital," Yan Li said sternly.
Now no one questioned it anymore, and they quickly went to find a cart. When the cart came, they carefully lifted Lu Deping onto it. Yan Li looked around and asked, "Is there anyone who dares to come up and press on the wound?"
The people around were shaking their heads. They were all city dwellers who didn't even dare to kill a pig. They had never seen so much blood before. They were scared just by looking at it, let alone holding it down.
Yan Li got on the cart himself, pressed on Lu Deping's wound, and instructed: "Then you pull the cart forward. It will take three people, one to pull the cart in the front and two to hold it steady in the back. Remember to keep it steady and not bumpy. While keeping it steady, send him to the hospital as soon as possible."
Lu Deping was in danger, so no one said anything and quickly pulled the cart away. Only a group of neighbors who were packing their things and Goudan's mother, who was already terrified, were left at the scene.
Goudan's mother's hands were also covered in blood. She asked dumbfoundedly, "What should we do now? Can we go home and rest?"
Aunt Cao also asked: "Xiao Lin, how do you feel? Your body cannot be stimulated right now. How about I help you back?"
"I'm fine." Lin Minjun touched her belly. The little life inside didn't bother her at all, so she didn't have any big reaction.
Seeing that the place had become a mess, Lin Minjun took the initiative to suggest, "Let's wait at the door. Don't go in and destroy the scene. Anyone willing to come out to help tonight can stay. Let's assign the tasks. Two people in a group will take turns to watch over Shen Hongyu and make sure she doesn't run away. Also, quickly get someone who can run to the police station to look for her."
Many neighbors have to go to work tomorrow, so it’s impossible for them to watch over us all night.
"Now that this has happened, we have to work together to handle this matter properly."
After waiting for about forty minutes, several police officers came over, asked about the situation at the time, and then arrested Shen Hongyu.
Before leaving, a police officer asked, "Who can go with us to explain the situation?"
Lin Minjun couldn't go because she was pregnant, so Aunt Cao volunteered, "I'll go. I live nearby and can hear everything clearly."
Aunt Cao followed him.
That night, no one in the alley slept well. All the lights were on in every house. The alley was in an uproar because of this incident. Everyone was discussing what happened in this family, talking about how the quarrel started, how someone was stabbed, and the terrible scene that followed the stabbing.
Lin Minjun went back early, washed up briefly and went to bed. While lying on the bed, she was also thinking about this matter.
It had been several hours since the incident, but when Lin Minjun thought back to tonight, she still found it unbelievable.
She didn't know how things had gotten to this point, nor did she know what the future would be like for those two people. Would Lu Deping die? Would Shen Hongyu go to jail?
At the same time, with half a month left before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Ruguilou’s mooncakes are officially on sale.
Lin Minjun didn't have time to think about those two people anymore. She had to put all her energy into selling mooncakes.
On sale!
More than 2,000 mooncakes have now been produced and all have been packaged and stacked in the warehouse.
The production of mooncakes is not a big deal. The most important step is to sell them. After all, only by selling them can we recover the cost and make a profit.
In the beginning, mooncakes were only sold at the entrance of the restaurant. The packaged mooncakes were piled on the table at the entrance, and Aunt Xu was responsible for selling them to people.
We didn’t sell many in the beginning, because people would just pass by, take a look, say it’s good, and then leave.
The most popular mooncake now is the five-nut mooncake.
Later, Lin Minjun came up with an idea. She built a small table at the door to make the stacking look more nice and not scattered. She also opened a box and cut it into four portions, inviting passers-by to have a taste.
This method was indeed effective. The sales of mooncakes started to take off from the next day. Many people tasted the mooncakes and thought they tasted good. They decided to buy two boxes to take home on the spot.
"Your mooncakes are really rare, with a soft outer skin and a salty and fragrant interior. I've never eaten anything like this before, and the packaging is also beautiful."
The mooncake recipe was developed by Lin Minjun and Yu Caiping after a long time of research. They even created two versions to cater to both the elderly and children.
The packaging was designed by Lin Minjun herself. It is a dark blue box with a cream-yellow full moon on the top and red elements underneath, which looks particularly exquisite.
I opened the paper box and found mooncakes wrapped in brown paper inside, with a small sticker on it with the name of Ruguilou written on it.
It won't be rare in the future, but it is quite novel now.
In this way, more than 200 were sold bit by bit, and there were more than 1,000 left in the warehouse.
Lin Minjun took the mooncakes and gave them to familiar people. She first gave a box to Zhao Ning and his group of educated youth friends, and then gave them to Director Su and Teacher Shen's homes.
Teacher Shen opened it and tasted it as soon as he got it. After tasting it, he said, "This tastes good. It's even better than the first time you took it. It's very suitable for the elderly."
She ordered twenty boxes at once, saying that she wanted to give something fresh to her relatives and friends this year.
Teacher Shen not only bought for himself, but also brought teachers from their school to buy together. You took a box, I took a box, and in the blink of an eye, more than 50 boxes were sold.
But this is just a drizzle, there is still a lot of goods in the warehouse.
Fortunately, the reputation of mooncakes has gradually spread, and everyone who has bought and eaten them says they are delicious.
A few days after the mooncakes went on sale, a group of people from the factory came to buy them. Four or five of them came at once. After they took them home and ate them, they found them delicious, so they suggested to their leader that they should be distributed as an employee benefit during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The leaders held a meeting to discuss the matter, and after the discussion someone came to purchase the products. After Lin Minjun talked to their leaders, she found out that it was Capital Petrochemical.
They ordered a large quantity, several hundred boxes at a time. After returning, they distributed them to their employees. The mooncakes became popular all of a sudden, and a few hundred boxes were not enough, so they came back to order double the quantity.
There is still one week to the Mid-Autumn Festival and almost all of the 2,000 boxes have been sold out. However, the market has not fully opened yet and there are not enough mooncakes to sell!
Lin Minjun quickly decided to continue production. She asked Erwa to watch in the restaurant while others continued to process and produce moon cakes. She ran to the paper box factory to order more moon cake boxes and kraft paper. She was so busy that she had no time to rest.
These were not enough, so they had to recruit temporary workers. So they urgently found two more people, and the group worked day and night to produce another 4,000.
The people in the restaurant were a little worried when they saw the mooncakes piled up in the warehouse. Aunt Cao even asked quietly, "Xiao Lin, if we produce so many again, what if we can't sell them?"
"If you can't sell it, there are ways to solve it. Business is so good now. If we don't work harder to produce it, no one will buy it after the Mid-Autumn Festival," said Lin Minjun.
Who knew that just after the mooncakes were produced, before Lin Minjun went out to find a market for them, someone else came to the restaurant and said he wanted to order one thousand boxes of mooncakes.
The man said, "I'm from Tianjin. I'm the manager of a department store. I heard that your new mooncakes are very popular. I want 1,000 boxes first."
Not only department stores, but also grocery stores in the capital came to place orders, and they also ordered a thousand in one go.
More than half of the 4,000 boxes of mooncakes were sold out in no time. At the same time, retail sales outside the restaurant also opened up.
There are only six mooncakes in the box. Families with a large population can get one per person, and families with a small population can get two per person. This way, there is no waste, the mooncakes taste good, and are quite popular among the people.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. Besides five-nut mooncakes, other people’s tables also have ham mooncakes. If you don’t have some at home, you’d seem unfashionable.
The sales of mooncakes were so hot that the restaurant business also boomed.
People eat mooncakes and find them delicious, so they stop by the restaurant to try them when they pass by, and become repeat customers after having eaten them.
In the two weeks before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lin Minjun was very busy.
Although she didn't have to do the work herself, she still had to sit in the restaurant, direct the temporary workers, and go out to check the sales situation, which was tiring enough.
Fortunately, there are only two days left before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the sales of mooncakes are almost over.
Lin Minjun could finally take a break. There were still one or two hundred boxes of mooncakes left. She could just let them sell them in front of the restaurant. She didn't have to keep an eye on them.
It was at this time that news finally came from Shen Hongyu and Lu Deping.
That day, Aunt Cao came to work, and as soon as she came, she pulled Aunt Xu aside and whispered.
Aunt Xu usually doesn't like to chat with others, but today she was chatting animatedly when everyone got together.
Lin Minjun walked over, and Aunt Cao pulled Lin Minjun again, "Xiao Lin, there's news from the family behind!"
Since the accident that night, Shen Hongyu was taken away by the police and has never returned. Lu Deping is lying in the hospital with no news and no one knows whether he is out of danger.
"How are they now?" Lin Minjun stopped.
Aunt Cao first talked about Shen Hongyu. "The woman in that family, the one named Shen Hongyu, was sentenced to two years in prison. She was not given a suspended sentence. She was supposed to be sentenced more severely, but because it was a family conflict, she was not sentenced more severely. In addition, the victim forgave her, so she was only sentenced to two years."
"I heard that the beatings are severe now. If it weren't for these things, I think she would have spent the rest of her life in prison."
"What about the man?"
Aunt Cao: "Deping is in the hospital. He managed to survive and is now recuperating in the hospital. I heard that his father and mother are taking turns to take care of him."
"Then isn't his sister going?" Lin Minjun thought of Lu Xueping and asked.
"I don't know what's wrong with Xue Ping recently. She insists on marrying that gigolo. She's preparing for the wedding now, so how can she have time to go to the hospital to take care of her?"
At this point, Aunt Cao suddenly leaned in and said, "I also heard something else. Although Deping saved his life, that thing can no longer be used."
"What thing?" Lin Minjun asked curiously.
Aunt Cao: "Alas, it's the one that all men have. He injured the nerves and won't be able to have sex anymore. He can't have children anyway, and now he won't be able to have sex anymore. It's not that he can't have sex at all, but it's very difficult anyway. He needs surgery to repair it."
When Lin Minjun heard this, she was stunned for a moment.
Aunt Cao sighed and said, "Don't you think it's fate? He was sick and wanted to blame his wife, but in the end, she cut him into a eunuch. How can you explain this? You can't say it's retribution. It's wrong to deceive people, and it's wrong to hurt people. This is a cunning person. Don't you think so, Xiaolin?"
Lin Minjun nodded before she came to her senses. Seeing that she looked uneasy, Aunt Cao went back to talking to someone else.
"Aunt Cao, please don't talk about this to anyone else and don't discuss other people's affairs. This is not allowed in our restaurant," Lin Minjun said again.
After Lin Minjun finished the work at hand, she gave some instructions and took a taxi out.
She wanted to go see Shen Hongyu and Lu Deping, sort out her affairs with them, and put them to rest.
She went to visit Shen Hongyu first, and when she asked at the police station, she learned that Shen Hongyu had been transferred to a women's prison. Lin Minjun then went to the women's prison and applied there, but it depended on whether Shen Hongyu was willing.
After waiting for two hours, there was finally a result. Shen Hongyu was willing to come out and meet him.
Shen Hongyu heard someone coming to see her, a young woman, but she didn't know who it was for a moment.
Her family did come to visit her once after the accident, when she was still in detention.
Shen Hongyu thought her family came to comfort her and show concern for her, but who knew that her mother came up and scolded her for being shameful and bringing disgrace to the family.
"From now on I will just pretend that you are not my daughter. Do you know what people are saying about our family now? Do you know that it will be difficult for your brother to find a wife in the future?" her mother said at the time.
Shen Hongyu was stunned. "This is just a trick. I didn't mean it. Besides, you guys know how to scold me now. What did you say when I took the money home?"
"How dare you bring this up? Your brother has been badly hurt by you! From now on, I will just pretend that you are no longer my daughter. You can handle whatever happens on your own!"
Shen Hongyu felt ironic whenever she thought of the expressions on the faces of her family members. When she first married Lu Deping, her family members all smiled and praised her, saying that she was a good daughter and brought honor to the family.
Nowadays, when something happens, everyone wants to cut off ties with others, and they do it so quickly.
Even her family members were in such a state, Shen Hongyu had no idea who would come all the way to see her.
She was taken to the meeting room by the prison police and saw Lin Minjun through the glass.
Shen Hongyu was stunned for a moment.
She walked over to the chair, sat down, picked up the phone and said, "Are you here to see me make fun of you?"
She laughed at herself, "It's really interesting, you know, you are the first one to come to see me so far."
Lin Minjun also picked up the phone and said into the receiver, "I don't want to laugh at you or argue with you, I just have something to ask you."
Shen Hongyu looked up at her through the glass, a puzzled expression in her eyes.
She didn't know what role she played to Lin Minjun now.
"I heard from Aunt Cao that you said that night that I had been deceived by Lu Deping my whole life. How did you know this?"
Shen Hongyu was stunned and said nothing.
Lin Minjun looked into her eyes and asked word by word, "Have you also returned from that time?"
As soon as she uttered this sentence, Shen Hongyu's eyes turned red. She blinked, trying to squeeze out the tears in her eyes, but they couldn't fall.
She tried to pull up the corners of her mouth to smile, but she couldn't smile.
Shen Hongyu was crying and laughing, and an incredible thought popped up in her mind.
She didn't know what expression to make for a moment, and just kept on twisting her face. After a while, Shen Hongyu finally reacted and asked in a trembling voice, "You, you also came back at that time?"
She asked Lin Minjun if she was also reborn.
Lin Minjun nodded and said affirmatively, "Yes, do you remember the train we took back to North City together? I came back at that time."
This time Shen Hongyu couldn't help herself and burst into tears.
She also came back at that time. She and Lin Minjun had the same starting point, so why did their fates be so different?
Lin Minjun said, "I had a car accident on the road, what about you?"
"Me too. I was driving on the highway and was hit by a Passat." Shen Hongyu said in a low voice.
She couldn't stop crying and looked at Lin Minjun, "You came back with me, why didn't you tell me that Lu Deping couldn't have children? You just watched me jump into the fire pit."
This is simply putting the blame on someone else.
Lin Minjun thought she would be angry when she heard this, but she was not angry at all. She just felt that Shen Hongyu had never changed and was always so unreasonable. In her eyes, she was never wrong, only others were wrong. It was more difficult than anything else to ask her to apologize and admit that she was wrong.
Lin Minjun calmed down, "If I knew that Lu Deping couldn't have children, would I have suffered so much? You've also experienced that kind of life, taking medicine and getting injections. It's worse than death. If I knew his illness, would I have lived that kind of life? You couldn't stand it for a month, but I've been through it for twenty years. Now I think I was stupid. How could I be fooled by their family? If I had known earlier, I would have just divorced and it would have been over. I didn't have to suffer for so many years."
Shen Hongyu clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging into her flesh. In addition to anger and grievance, another emotion finally arose in her heart.
She was filled with remorse and didn't know what to say about herself.
Others suffered enough in their previous lives, so they jumped out of this life, but she was different. She climbed up a pole and jumped into the fire pit. She suddenly remembered that when she was taking medicine, Lin Minjun saw it and tried to persuade her not to take the medicine, saying that it would harm her health.
At that time, she thought that Lin Minjun was talking without any pain in her waist. Now think about it, if she had listened to the advice at that time, how could things have come to this point.
Shen Hongyu opened her mouth and looked at Lin Minjun. She wanted to apologize but didn't know how to start.
Without waiting for her to speak, Lin Minjun took out another small package and said, "I have no other intention in coming here today, I just came to explain this matter clearly. I also bought something for you. Take a look. If you can use it, take it."
She handed the things to the prison guard, which were some chicken leg tickets, prison-specific toothbrushes and toothpaste, and some daily necessities.
Shen Hongyu had no family members to visit her, so of course she didn't have these things. The time she spent there was simply a life worse than death.
When she saw these things, tears started to fall from her eyes.
Lin Minjun added, "In fact, there is another sentence. When I just came back, I kept forcing myself with this sentence. Now I give it to you. I feel that living by relying on others is like being a pet dog raised by others. When happy, you can praise it a few times, but when unhappy, you can only move aside. You have to do whatever others say. Only by relying on yourself can you be truly free. Only by relying on yourself can you live like an individual. I hope you can live like an individual too."
Shen Hongyu held the receiver tightly, tears streaming down her face. "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I shouldn't have reported you, and I shouldn't have let Lu Xueping go against you. I really know I was wrong."
Lin Minjun stood up and said, "You should reform yourself in there, and become a new person after serving your sentence."
She was the first person to tell her that she could start a new life after serving her sentence.
Life can start again.
Shen Hongyu's tears dripped onto the receiver, and she said forcefully, "I'm sorry."
Lin Minjun has left.
When I came out of the women's prison, the taxi was waiting at the door.
Lin Minjun was afraid that she couldn't get a taxi here, so when she got off the car just now, she told the driver that she would charter a car this afternoon and asked him to wait here. Now that she was in the car, Lin Minjun thought about going to see Lu Deping again.
"Go to Capital Hospital."
Lin Minjun asked the nurse and found Lu Deping's ward.
Lu's mother is taking care of us inside.
In just a few months, Lu's mother seemed to have suddenly aged twenty years. A lot of white hair suddenly appeared on her head. She was no longer as smart and energetic as before, and looked like a wilted chicken.
Seeing Lin Minjun, she asked in surprise, "What are you doing here?"
Lin Minjun said: "Visiting the patient."
Mother Lu went out and said, "Deping has woken up. I'm going to go out. Can you two talk?"
She looked at Lin Minjun with a pleading expression on her face, "Xiao Lin, can you help me persuade Deping to be more open-minded? Now that he has finally saved his life, he should stop tormenting himself."
Lin Minjun said nothing.
"I didn't expect that you would be the only one to come to see him at this time." Mother Lu sighed as she left.

"After Being Bound by the Live Streaming System [Sixties]" Ye Qingshuang had a bad fate since childhood. Her father died when she was five years old, and when she was six, her mother remarried to her cousin who was also widowed. From then on, she lived a miserable life with no food to eat and being beaten for any disagreement.
After growing up with many difficulties, she was kidnapped by her biological mother and stepfather when she was sixteen years old. They wanted to marry her to the mountains to exchange for the dowry for her cousin to marry a wife. With the help of her step-grandmother, she secretly ran away, but fell into a trap dug by the villagers and fainted.
When she woke up, there was something called "Eating Melon Live Broadcast System" in her mind.
It says it is a product of the future world, developed because people in the future are too bored, and its purpose is to broadcast all kinds of gossip and nonsense to the people in the future to kill time.
Ye Qingshuang didn't know why some people would feel bored. It was so comfortable to be idle. You didn't have to do anything and you had food and drink. But this didn't stop her from taking the system around to eat melons and listen to gossip.
After all, the melon-eating system gives too much.
[Her sister-in-law is the heroine of a story about rebirth and repentance. ]
[The big brother in her front yard is Long Aotian who traveled through time. ]
[The little daughter of the village party secretary accidentally found a ring that contained several ghosts from ancient times]
......
Following the melon-eating system, Ye Qingshuang felt that she was really a small knife pulling the butt, seeing the world every day.
Until one day, she ate the melon and it fell on her own body: she was not her mother's biological daughter!
