Shen Qiqi's heart instantly rose to her throat, and the sky, which had been clear just a moment ago, seemed to be covered with dark clouds in an instant.
Without giving it much thought, she immediately asked, "What happened to Uncle Li? How is he doing now?"
The worker replied breathlessly, "I don't know. He suddenly fainted, and now his family is scrambling to take care of him!"
"Quick, take us to see it!" Shen Qiqi made a prompt decision, with unquestionable anxiety in her tone.
She turned around and winked at Lu Qing, who immediately understood, and the two of them quickly caught up with the workers.
Along the way, Shen Qiqi's heart seemed to be gripped by an invisible hand, hurting again and again.
She wished she could grow wings and fly to Uncle Li.
Lu Qing followed her closely and could feel the tension emanating from her. His brows were tightly twisted into a knot.
When they arrived at Uncle Li's house, the house was in chaos.
Uncle Li lay on the bed with a pale face, weak breathing, and beads of sweat on his forehead.
His wife was wiping her tears and calling his name helplessly.
"Uncle Li, how do you feel?" Shen Qiqi hurried forward, squatted beside the bed, and asked with concern.
Uncle Li forced himself to open his eyes, and seeing that it was Shen Qiqi, he said weakly: "Qi... Qi girl, I... I'm afraid I can't make it. What should I do about the birth?"
"Don't talk, have a good rest!" Shen Qiqi comforted Uncle Li, but her heart felt like a huge rock was pressing on her.
She knew that Uncle Li was a key figure in production, and if he fell, the entire project might be in danger of being shut down.
This was like a "king bomb" for her right at the start!
Lu Qing stood aside and saw Shen Qiqi's frown. He knew that she must be as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
He patted her shoulder gently, silently giving her strength.
Shen Qiqi took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
She looked around. The room was in a mess and there was no one who could help.
She knew that she had to find a solution as soon as possible, otherwise the project would be doomed.
Uncle Li's weak groans were like needles piercing Shen Qiqi's heart, making her extremely anxious.
While comforting Uncle Li, her mind was racing, trying to find a solution to replace Uncle Li.
She suddenly thought of something, stood up immediately and said to Lu Qing, "I'll go out for a while, you stay here to take care of Uncle Li." Before Lu Qing could respond, she rushed out of the room like a gust of wind.
Lu Qing looked at her hurried back and felt vaguely uneasy.
"This...what should I do..." Uncle Li's weak sigh echoed in the room. The air was filled with uncertainty, which made people feel depressed.
As soon as Shen Qiqi left, Sister Li couldn't help but start complaining: "Hey, if I had known it would be so troublesome, I wouldn't have gotten involved. It's so easy to take care of the children at home, but now I have to worry about it!"
Brother Zhang also sighed, "That's right! I invested all my money, and now that production has stopped, how can I ever get my money back? Qiqi looks smart, but I didn't expect she'd create such a mess."
Several other villagers who participated in the discussion also joined in, and the already messy house became even more chaotic.
As Lu Qing listened to their increasingly excessive complaints, his face darkened. Just as he was about to speak, he was stopped by Uncle Li's wife.
The old man wiped his tears and choked up, saying, "Qingzi, don't blame them. We're all from the same village, and it's not easy. In this world, who doesn't have a tight life? They're also worried..."
Lu Qing looked at the old man's worried expression and swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
He knew that nothing he said now would be of any use, the key was to solve the problem as soon as possible.
At this time, Shen Qiqi came back, followed by a thin middle-aged man.
Everyone immediately quieted down, and all looked at her with curiosity.
"Qiqi, what is this?" Brother Zhang asked first, with a puzzled tone.
Shen Qiqi smiled slightly, her tone calm: "This is Master Liu from the neighboring village. He is experienced and skilled. He will be in charge of the production this time."
When everyone heard this, they were immediately shocked.
"From the neighboring village? Is he reliable?" "This Master Liu looks unfamiliar. Why haven't I heard of him before?" "Qiqi, this is not a joke. What if something goes wrong..."
Shen Qiqi raised her hand to signal everyone to be quiet, her eyes firm: "Everyone, don't worry, since I asked Master Liu to come, I naturally trust him. Master Liu is very good at this and will definitely not delay the production progress."
She turned to look at Master Liu, gave him a few brief instructions, and then took him to familiarize himself with the production process.
Master Liu doesn't talk much, but he is efficient and got the hang of things quickly.
Seeing Master Liu's skillful operation, the people who were originally skeptical gradually felt relieved.
Shen Qiqi arranged everything, walked to Lu Qing, patted his hand gently, and whispered, "Don't worry, everything will be fine." Lu Qing looked at her confident look, and his tense nerves slowly relaxed.
As night falls, everyone who has been busy all day can finally rest.
Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing walked side by side on the way home, the moonlight shining on them, casting two long shadows.
"Qiqi," Lu Qing suddenly stopped and looked at her, "You today..."
"Shh..." Shen Qiqi raised a finger, placed it on her lips, and smiled mysteriously, "You'll know tomorrow."
As expected, Master Liu did not disappoint Shen Qiqi. His hand speed was so fast that he completed the production process ahead of time, even though he was worried about delays.
