Whether Qin Huairu would return the food or not was of no concern to Wei Hua. He was more concerned about what kind of retribution Qin Huairu would suffer. Because the system's voice had already sounded the moment Qin Huairu turned to leave. This meant that Qin Huairu had no intention of returning the grain.
Even after Qin Huairu left, Wei Hua continued to manage his expression using his abilities. Wei Hua had to admit that what Qin Huairu had revealed was indeed useful. Now, anyone who saw him could see his worried and distressed face, a picture of someone burdened by life's troubles.
If I were to act, I'd probably become a household name. Who knows, I might even win an Oscar someday.
The rewards this time are quite generous, including 1000 jin of flour, 1000 yuan in cash, and 30 points of physique. In addition to these regular rewards, a new skill has been introduced. This skill is slightly better than the last one; it's called "Reading Words and Expressions," which allows you to understand someone's inner thoughts through their words and facial expressions.
This knowledge will be very useful in the future. The world is essentially a world of interpersonal relationships; if you can read between the lines, you can guess what the other person is thinking. This is especially true in business, allowing you to better understand the other party's true intentions.
The ability to read between the lines is not only useful in business battles, but can also be applied to everyday life, leading to success in everything.
With such a generous reward, Qin Huairu will likely face severe retaliation. As for what will happen to Qin Huairu, Wei Hua doesn't care. As long as Qin Huairu lives, she still has value.
Knowing that Qin Huairu would definitely be punished, Wei Hua was intentionally or unintentionally observing her. But most of the day passed, and Qin Huairu was completely unharmed.
Just as Wei Hua was wondering if Qin Ruru had contracted cancer again, a scream came from the pickling workshop.
Before cold rolling, cold drawing, and stamping in the steel industry, sulfuric acid must be used to remove iron oxide from the steel surface. Rolled thin plates, cold-drawn seamless steel pipes, and other steel products with high quality requirements must be washed with sulfuric acid after each rolling process. Welded steel pipes, thin sheet metal, and iron wire also require pickling with sulfuric acid before galvanizing.
While Qin Huairu was undergoing acid pickling, she suddenly slipped and almost fell in. Fortunately, she managed to grab onto something nearby. Although she didn't fall in, she still took a tumble.
The scattered medicine bottles nearby were knocked over by Qin Huairu's head, spilling all over her head and even her clothes.
Even diluted, Qin Huairu's face turned bright red. The pain caused her to scream like a pig being slaughtered.
When Wei Hua arrived, Qin Huairu had already been pulled out by everyone. In order to treat Qin Huairu as soon as possible, the people in the workshop kept pouring cold water on her.
Keep in mind that it's already December. The tap water is already above 0 degrees Celsius. It's not very comfortable to have that kind of water poured on you.
But if she didn't apply the medicine, the corrosive effects would make Qin Huairu even more uncomfortable. The burning sensation from the medicine corroding her skin was particularly agonizing, causing her facial expressions to appear quite strange.
Seeing Qin Huairu's state, Wei Hua felt that this retribution was indeed quite fitting. The pickling workshop used either sulfuric acid or nitric acid, chemicals that could corrode metals, let alone people.
Sometimes, even a slight touch can cause pain for quite some time, and in more severe cases, immediate medical attention is required. Moreover, Qin Huairu and her clothes were soaked with these things, so it's easy to imagine her condition.
After being washed for more than ten minutes, Qin Huairu was still screaming in agony. By this time, the factory's vehicle had arrived at the workshop entrance, and several coworkers helped Qin Huairu into the jeep.
Wei Hua initially thought this matter had nothing to do with him. However, the workshop foreman pointed to the Jeep, and Wei Hua had no choice but to follow. After all, Qin Huairu was one of his workshop employees, and someone had to handle this matter.
After getting into the jeep, the driver sped off towards the hospital. Seeing Qin Huairu screaming in pain in the car, Wei Hua's mood improved considerably, and he enjoyed listening to her singing along the way.
After getting off the bus, he quickly helped Qin Huairu with the hospital admission procedures and personally took her to the burn unit. After shaving Qin Huairu's hair, the doctor removed her clothes and treated her skin.
By the time Qin Huairu was treated, it was already evening. Quite coincidentally, Qin Huairu was assigned to the same ward as Bang Geng and the others.
After exchanging a few words with Qin Huairu, Wei Hua left the ward. As Qin Huairu's direct supervisor, Wei Hua also had a responsibility to find out about her situation.
"Doctor, what's wrong with Qin Huairu from our factory? How long will it take for her to recover?"
Upon hearing Wei Hua's words, the doctor immediately explained Qin Huairu's condition.
"Qin Huairu's condition is quite serious. She mainly suffered burns to exposed skin. Her body is relatively okay, but her face and exposed skin suffered severe burns."
"Given Qin Huairu's condition, she'll need at least half a month of treatment. Then, after resting at home for about a month, she should be able to return to normal work. However, this kind of injury is a heavy blow to a woman. You'd better find someone to talk to and counsel her."
"Doctor, just how serious is her condition? Why do we need someone to counsel her?"
"Her condition is much more serious than you think. She may have uneven skin tone, hyperpigmentation, and other issues."
Hearing the doctor's words, Wei Hua roughly guessed that it was the case. This was a much bigger blow to Qin Huairu than breast cancer.
After understanding the situation, Wei Hua turned and left the hospital. He thought about how Qin Huairu's face had turned as red as a rooster's comb. On his way back, Wei Hua bought not only a roast duck but also a bottle of wine.
Watching the light snow falling from the sky, Wei Hua had to quicken his pace. He knew the disaster was almost over; if they could just hold on for another six months or so, everyone could return to their living standards of the previous years.
After all, it takes time for crops to grow after they've been planted. We're currently in the darkness before dawn. Back home, Wei Hua brushed the snow off his clothes before going inside.
"I heard that Qin Huairu fell into the chemicals in the pickling workshop this afternoon. Is that true?"
After Yang Tao finished speaking, she went into the room and brought out a basin of warm water.
Wei Hua reached in and wiped his face before answering Yang Tao's question.
"I didn't expect the news to get back to the courtyard so quickly. Qin Huairu accidentally fell into a pile of medicine when she went to work this afternoon. I went to the hospital to deal with her affairs, which is why I came back so late."
"How serious is Qin Huairu's condition?"
"Qin Huairu's face is probably ruined. Those medicines can even corrode metal, let alone Qin Huairu's face."
Upon hearing Wei Hua's words, Yang Tao hesitated for a moment before walking into the kitchen and bringing out the food from the pot.
"You must be hungry, hurry up and eat."
"You should eat with us too. I know you probably haven't eaten either."
Hearing Wei Hua's words, Yang Tao sat down. After taking out the roast duck, Yang Tao poured Wei Hua a glass of wine. Then she poured herself a small half-glass.
On such a cold day, a sip of wine can warm you up, so Wei Hua downed half a glass in one gulp. Sure enough, the wine warmed him up considerably. The two of them continued drinking and chatting. Because they returned quite late and had been chatting for so long, it was already past 9 p.m. by the time Wei Hua had finished eating and drinking.
The child woke up at this time. To keep the child warm, Wei Hua and Yang Tao washed up and then took the child to bed. Since the child was awake, it meant it was going to be a sleepless night; they wouldn't be able to sleep until 11 or 12 o'clock.
Looking at their son, Wei Hua and Yang Tao could only tell him stories. The two of them played with Wei Junhao on the bed.
But Xiao Dang and Xiao Huaihua in the backyard were in a terrible situation. Both adults in the Jia family were hospitalized, and there was no one to take care of them.
Xiao Dang is alright, after all, he's almost five years old, but Xiao Huaihua is only a few months older than Wei Junhao. Although neither of them will be good people when they grow up, they're still just children now.
"Give me some bread or pastries from the future. Those two children in the back are a bit pitiful to look at. Although they won't be good people in the future, they are just children now. Besides, there might still be a chance to change those things."
Upon hearing Wei Hua's words, Yang Tao skillfully took out some small cakes from the future from her spatial storage. Then, using her spatial abilities, she placed them next to Xiao Dang and Xiao Huaihua. These small breads and pastries were especially fragrant and sweet.
Its allure to children is unparalleled. As for how it came to be, they have no time to investigate; all they want is to be full.
Upon discovering the small bread rolls and snacks, they immediately began stuffing them into their mouths, and even licked their fingers after finishing.
