That day, Qin Lamei was craving something oily and delicious, so she decided to buy some meat to have a nice meal. She told Wang Xiu about it and gave her the money and tickets.
Wang Xiutian had to queue up before dawn, her dissatisfaction with Qin Lamei reaching its peak. Who knew that on her way back she would run into Sister Xiao, who was in a hurry.
When Sister Xiao saw the two pieces of meat in her hand, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly asked, "Comrade Wang, did you just come back from the supply and marketing cooperative? Does the supply and marketing cooperative still have meat? I just exchanged my meat coupons, and I don't know if I'll make it in time."
Wang Xiu looked at the large piece of fatty meat in her hand. Although she wanted to eat it, she thought of the plan she was plotting and came up with a scheme. She pretended to be regretful.
"Sister Xiao, if you go to the supply and marketing cooperative at this time, there will definitely be none left. The families of the nearby state-owned factories were lining up last night, and when I went there, there weren't many left. At this time, even the bones have probably been sold."
Sister Xiao looked regretful and slapped her thigh. "Look at me, I got the time wrong. What are we going to do without any profit? If only I had exchanged the meat coupons earlier! Sigh!"
"Sister Xiao, don't be too sad," Wang Xiu said understandingly. "How about this, Sister Xiao, I bought a lot of meat. If you don't mind, give me the tickets and money, and I'll give you a piece of fatty meat."
Sister Xiao instinctively refused, "That's so kind of you. You went through all that trouble to queue up for this meat."
Wang Xiu said gently, "It's nothing, we're all from the same compound, no need to be polite. Here, how about this piece? It's juicy and flavorful enough."
That's enough.
Even if it's not enough, she'll prepare the ingredients for Yu Yao in advance.
Xiao Jie was unaware of the sinister thoughts behind Wang Xiu's smile and was very grateful to her, saying, "Thank you very much, Comrade Wang. If you ever need anything in the future, remember to ask me for help."
Wang Xiu watched as Sister Xiao accepted the fatty meat, the ticket, and the money, and then happily went back, thinking about tomorrow's matters. She noticed that Qin Lamei wasn't so impatient anymore.
The next morning, she timed it perfectly and bumped into Sister Xiao on the road.
The two walked together to the temporary office on the second floor.
The temporary office was located in the innermost room on the second floor of the staff auditorium. There was a corner at the top of the stairs, and it was always dark and never received sunlight.
This is the perfect place that Wang Xiu chose for Yu Yao and the baby in her belly.
As she reached the corner, Wang Xiu lost her balance and knocked over Sister Xiao's lunchbox.
With a crash and a clatter, the aluminum lunchbox rolled across the floor, scattering its lid and the oily food inside everywhere, with greasy soup dripping all over the place.
Sister Xiao was heartbroken and tried to clean it up with her hands, but Wang Xiu stopped her.
"Sister Xiao, I'm so sorry. I wasn't paying attention and spilled your lunch. Here's my food, you can take it for lunch."
Sister Xiao refused to accept anything, but Wang Xiu pretended to be angry, "Sister Xiao, I'm the one who caused this trouble, so I'll clean it up. You go to your meeting first, don't be late."
Sister Xiao wanted to help tidy up, but Wang Xiu persuaded her to leave, saying that the two of them couldn't be late.
"Sister Xiao, I'll take responsibility for my own actions. I can be late by myself. You can go first, I'll take care of the rest."
At this moment, Wang Xiu felt somewhat grateful for the perfect attendance reward set up by Yu Yao.
Seeing that she insisted, Sister Xiao said nothing and left first.
After she left, Wang Xiu looked around. To be absolutely sure, she took out a small bottle of soybean oil from her pocket and sprinkled it on the ground where there was no oil or not enough oil.
Then I sprinkled some fried soybeans on top.
Coming up the stairs, the light was dim, and the oily areas looked darker than usual. The beans were less scattered, so they weren't very visible.
Wang Xiu clapped his hands in satisfaction, waited a while longer until he saw Yu Yao's figure through the window, and then pretended to go get a broom to sweep before leaving.
Sure enough, just as she came out of the storeroom with the things she had taken, she heard someone scream.
"A pregnant woman has fallen, there's a lot of blood, call a doctor quickly!"
Hearing the commotion, Wang Xiucai hurried over at a leisurely pace. When he arrived, he saw a pool of dark red blood on the ground and was overjoyed.
To avoid arousing suspicion, she deliberately waited until Yu Yao was taken away before rushing over with her things, frantically pushing through the crowd, "What's wrong? What happened? I just heard that a pregnant woman fell down?"
One expert recounted with lingering fear, "Just now, a pregnant woman was passing by here when she accidentally stepped on some food on the ground and fell down the stairs. She was unconscious when she was taken away."
"It looks like the baby in her belly is definitely going to die, and the mother is probably in grave danger as well."
Wang Xiu didn't expect Sister Xiao's cooking to be so good. If Yu Yao and the other two were gone, no one in the side business group could stop her from developing.
Moreover, with Yu Yao dead and Commander Lu a widower, she would have an opportunity. Since her brother-in-law and Commander Lu were in the same regiment, she could use her guilt to frequently visit and comfort him. With a man and a woman alone together, over time, Commander Lu would be moved by her and naturally marry her.
All the money Yu Yao had earned, the house she had renovated, and all the good things, including the position of the regimental commander's wife, would all be hers.
This was fate. Wang Xiu prayed in her heart that Yu Yao and her two children would die, ending everything.
But the most important thing now is to make it all seem like an accident and clear myself of suspicion.
Wang Xiu looked at Sister Xiao who was rushing over, as if the sky had fallen. She rushed over in a panic, crying and shouting, "Sister Xiao, something bad has happened! A pregnant woman slipped on the food you spilled and fell. She's bleeding a lot."
As soon as she said this, everyone around turned to look at Sister Xiao, their eyes filled with accusations and scrutiny.
Sister Xiao's heart skipped a beat. Although she felt there was something wrong with what Wang Xiu said, the most important thing right now was the pregnant woman's condition, so she didn't immediately argue. Instead, she grabbed Wang Xiu and asked, "Where is the person who fell? How is she now?"
Wang Xiu looked full of self-blame. "I was sent to the military hospital. I had just come out with my things to pack, and it was too late. It's all my fault. If I had been faster, maybe this wouldn't have happened."
She became more and more upset as she spoke, "Sister Xiao, it's all my fault. If I hadn't been so stubborn and had let you help me clean up, maybe this wouldn't have happened. It's all my fault!"
Those around listened for a while and understood the cause of the matter, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Comrade, don't blame yourself too much. It was all an accident, it was all fate."
"Who would have thought that in just a short while, oh, this corner is too dark. I knew something would happen sooner or later, and it came true."
Sister Xiao's face turned pale, and she hurriedly wanted to go to the military hospital to check on her condition.
Wang Xiu pretended to care and chased after him. Looking at the figure in front of her, she wiped away her tears while sobbing, but the corners of her mouth, hidden by her sleeve, curled up slightly.
But before the curve could even fully form, her gaze suddenly fell upon a pretty figure.
"Yu Yao, what are you doing here?!" Wang Xiu's pupils contracted slightly, and her voice cracked from being too loud.
