The following evening, Shao Lihua first secretly put a handful of sesame seeds and crushed peanuts into a bag before submitting her resignation to Lu Siqiao.
"Third Aunt, you're quitting after less than a month?" Lu Siqiao teased. "Did you find it too hard?"
Normally, Shao Lihua wouldn't dare to talk back, after all, she still needed to keep her job.
Right now, she said proudly, "People always strive for better things. A boss offered me double the price to help him make chili sauce."
Upon hearing that she was still making chili sauce, Third Master Lu asked in confusion, "Who is so generous as to spend fifty yuan a month to hire you?"
Facing his suspicious gaze, Shao Lihua sneered: "Dad, people just think my sauce is fragrant. Maybe it's even more fragrant than Qiao Wa's sauce."
Recalling the smell of chili peppers he always caught when passing by his third son's house, Lu Sanye suddenly said, "Second son's wife, have you been secretly making chili sauce? Aren't you ruining the eldest son's livelihood?"
"Look at how awful your words are, Dad. I'm learning to make sauce in private. Who's it bothering? Who says that working in a sauce factory means you can't make chili sauce in private?" Shao Lihua said righteously. "Everyone is just competing fairly based on their own abilities."
Master Lu was so angry that he had a headache. He had known all along that the third son's family was restless, and Shao Lihua had even boasted so arrogantly about learning martial arts from others.
"Third Aunt, don't regret leaving." Lu Siqiao's gaze was cold as she said in a low voice, "If you want to come back in the future, even if I agree, Boss Cai won't tolerate you."
"A good horse doesn't turn back to eat the grass it already grazed. If I come back, I, Shao Lihua, am a coward!" Shao Lihua said with high spirits. "Not only me, but your third uncle won't work in your soy sauce factory either. It's only twenty-odd yuan. Who are you trying to humiliate? When I make something of myself, I'll get my third uncle to work for me too."
What an arrogant tone.
Wang Qiushui, unusually speaking up, said something fair: "Lihua, people working outside only earn ten or eight yuan a month. Here, they even provide meals and the wages are high. You should think it over."
"No need to think about it. Qiaowa, we're relatives, you wouldn't embezzle your aunt's salary, would you?" Shao Lihua looked at Lu Siqiao with a mischievous smile.
Lu Siqiao said coldly, "Here you go."
Seeing her look so embarrassed, Shao Lihua felt a sense of satisfaction.
Lu Siqiao paid Shao Lihua a month's salary and, in front of the Lu family, terminated her employment.
Grandma Ruan was prepared, but she didn't expect Shao Lihua to act so quickly.
Liu Yan, from the second wife's side, had a shifty look in her eyes, seemingly lost in thought.
Just then, a woman rushed in from outside. She looked shaken and shouted, "Quick! Si Di rolled down the mountain and broke his head! Get him to the hospital!"
After she put Lu Sidi down, everyone saw that she had a large gash on her forehead, and blood was flowing non-stop.
The people inside the room were in an uproar.
Grandma Ruan realized what was happening and was about to go inside to get some wood ash to stop the bleeding when Lu Siqiao stopped her.
"Press a towel on her and get her to the hospital right away!" Lu Siqiao glanced at Lu Sidi's eyes and, seeing that she had only fainted, shouted.
Liu Xiaoyan quickly brought a towel, which Lu Siqiao pressed onto Lu Sidi's forehead. She then called Lu Mingyuan to take her to the hospital.
Lu Mingyuan was so frightened that he didn't know what to do and hurriedly went to find a bicycle.
Seeing that he was unreliable, Lu Mingfeng happened to come to pick up Lu Siqiao and take her home. Upon seeing this scene, he immediately ran to Lu Wenqing's house to borrow a tractor and asked Lu Siqiao to help Lu Sidi onto the tractor.
"Second brother, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and get in the car!" Seeing that Lu Mingyuan was still in a daze, Lu Mingfeng said anxiously.
Just as Lu Mingyuan was about to head over, he heard Liu Yan groan and say, "Mingyuan, my stomach is upset, can you massage it for me?"
Lu Mingyuan naturally prioritized the child in her womb, telling Lu Mingfeng to go first, and he would ride over later.
As soon as they left, Liu Yan spat out, "Sending them to the hospital doesn't cost money, does it? Anyway, your older brother will cover for you, so why are you worrying?"
Lu Mingyuan then realized that she had deliberately stopped him from going with her.
"My wife is brilliant," he praised.
Liu Yan told him it wouldn't be too late to go in an hour.
With so much blood lost, Lu Sidi might have to go up with Qiao Wa to donate blood, which would cost them another hundred or so yuan.
"mom-"
On the tractor, Lu Sidi fell into a coma, but kept muttering Huang Ling's name.
Lu Siqiao pressed her hand firmly against Lu Sidi's forehead, looking ahead with a worried expression.
Even if parents don't love their children, the children will still humbly crave a little affection.
Even just a little bit.
It was pitch black ahead, and under the tractor's beam of light, the moths swarmed forward recklessly.
Lu Siqiao was somewhat unsettled.
When they arrived at the town clinic, it was already closed, so they had to rush to the city's People's Hospital.
They were received by the same senior doctor as before.
"Your family is truly plagued by misfortune." Upon learning that the injured person was Lu Siqiao's second older sister, the old doctor sighed.
Lu Siqiao smiled bitterly, watching Lu Mingfeng busy paying the bills, and thinking about the behavior of Lu Mingyuan and his wife, she felt even colder.
How can a child not go astray if they have a troublesome father?
About an hour later, the senior doctor came out and looked at Lu Mingfeng with a heavy expression: "The child has lost too much blood and needs a transfusion. She has type A blood. Either the family can donate blood, or we can wait until the blood bank sends the blood at dawn."
Then, he looked at Lu Siqiao and asked, "You have RH blood, so only one of your parents has type A blood."
“My mom has type A blood,” Lu Siqiao said without hesitation. “I can only call my dad and ask him to come over.”
Unexpectedly, Lu Mingfeng rolled up his sleeves and said, "Your biological father is also blood type A, and so am I, we both inherited it from my mother. Last time my mother was in a car accident, it was my brother and I who donated blood, he—" Suddenly, he looked at Lu Siqiao in disbelief, "Huang Ling and my second brother are both blood type A, so why is Qiao Wa's blood type different?"
The old doctor's expression turned serious: "Logically speaking, children inherit the blood type of one of their parents. Qiaowa has the rare Rh-negative blood type, which is not a recessive blood type and does not conform to medical norms. If you want to verify this, you can only do a paternity test. There are no such institutions in China at present; they can only be found abroad."
Upon hearing this, Lu Siqiao's face turned pale.
Afraid of scaring her, Lu Mingfeng quickly said, "Maybe I'm mistaken. Her biological father has Rh-negative blood." He patted her head, signaling her not to overthink it, and then hurriedly went into the blood testing room.
Lu Siqiao squatted on the ground, somewhat at a loss as she faced all of this.
Could it be that she isn't a child of the Lu family?
Lu Mingyuan arrived late, and when Lu Siqiao asked him if he was blood type A, he replied without hesitation, "Of course, I have the same blood type as your uncle. I did this to save your grandmother..."
Lu Siqiao wouldn't listen to a word the rest.
So, where are her biological parents?
By the way, Cheng Ze is also Rh blood type. Could he be her biological brother?
Thinking of this, Lu Siqiao's eyes lit up.
