Zhang Yuping has had a very difficult time these past two days. They said they brought her in for a reprimand, and they meant it without any hesitation.
Every day, I would be dragged out for a "thought education conference".
Not only was it embarrassing, but I also couldn't eat or sleep well, and I suffered both physically and mentally.
He was overjoyed to see Sun Changsheng coming over.
"Old Sun, you're here to pick me up, right?"
Sun Changsheng glared at her with a gloomy face, indicating that she should watch her words since they were outside.
Fortunately, he made arrangements so that no one else was present.
With limited time, he could only get straight to the point.
"I've come here today to tell you something."
"Lu Yuan reported you to the police as one of the murderers who hurt Grandpa Liu. The police will take you to the police station for questioning later."
The hope in Zhang Yuping's eyes was instantly replaced by terror, and she grabbed Sun Changsheng's arm.
"Old Sun, you have to save me, or we're both doomed."
Sun Changsheng's cloudy eyes grew even more sinister. Was this a threat?
Suppressing his anger, he said in a low voice,
"Don't worry, as long as you don't say anything out of line, I have a way to get you out of here."
Zhang Yuping quickly assured him, "I definitely won't say anything out of line."
Sun Changsheng instructed, "Lu Yuan only suspects, he's not sure if that person is you. As long as you don't admit it, nothing will happen."
After saying that, he didn't forget to threaten her, "You need to think more about Xiaojun. If you can't control your mouth, Xiaojun might not have much of a chance to live."
Zhang Yuping shuddered and subconsciously let go of his hand.
She stared at him in disbelief, and after a long while, she assured him again, "Don't worry, even if I die, I won't involve you."
Sun Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief. "Don't be too pessimistic. Just keep denying it and you won't get anything out of them. The police will release you."
He reminded him, "I also told the police that Lu Yuan identified you, most likely because he was retaliating against you for your report. You can say that too."
"I see."
Sun Changsheng left in a hurry, and not long after, the police came and took Zhang Yuping away.
Song Minghao and Han Wenzhao interrogated Zhang Yuping personally, but she remained tight-lipped, and they couldn't get anything out of her. She even turned around and accused Lu Yuan of retaliating against her.
At the health center, the local police station arranged for officers to guard Mr. Liu's ward.
Sun Changsheng didn't have a chance to make a move, but fortunately the doctor said that Grandpa Liu's condition had worsened again, and he might never wake up again.
Sun Changsheng was finally completely relieved.
The doctor's words kept repeating themselves, as if he were joking, which made his heart race and felt a bit torturous.
They were convinced that the doctor's medical skills were completely incompetent and that what he said was utterly unreliable.
Grandpa Liu is definitely not going to wake up.
He then returned to the brigade with peace of mind.
Two days passed, and everything was calm.
Zhang Yuping is still under investigation at the police station, and Grandpa Liu is still lying in the health center.
People from Changhe Brigade went to work or helped repair houses every day; everything seemed normal.
That evening, Lu Yuan and Wen Moxue were doing accounts while lying on the kang table.
The people who came to help repair the house these past few days have been paid on the same day. Twenty to thirty people come every day, and they're paid eight or nine yuan each time.
Lu Yuan earned 600 from selling his prey last time. He gave Wen Moxue 100 to buy furniture and household items, and spent nearly 420 of the remaining 500 on bricks and tiles.
After paying wages for the past few days, I'll have almost no money left.
"I have to make another trip up the mountain."
Lu Yuan tidied up his paper and pen and said casually.
Wen Muxue hesitated for a moment, then finally said, "Be careful, don't be reckless. It would be best if we could catch some prey, but if not, we'll find other ways to make money."
Lu Yuan closed the ledger, raised an eyebrow with a smile, and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you be a widow."
Wen Moxue's worries vanished instantly, and she rolled her eyes.
"It's alright, being a widow doesn't affect me much."
"Tsk, how heartless."
Suddenly, a question occurred to him, and he looked intently at the other person.
"That's not right. I seem to remember the agreement we signed back then. You not only had to support me, do my laundry and cook for me, but you also had to give me five yuan every month."
But what's going on now? It's become that I have to earn money to build a house, and then I have to give you money to spend.
Wasn't he supposed to be a kept man? How did he end up supporting his family?
No, it can't be called making a living; at best, it's being taken advantage of, since this is a fake wife.
Wen Moxue blinked her bright, watery eyes and said in a clear voice, "That's right, I'm serving you good food and drink every day, and doing your laundry and cooking for you."
As for the five yuan, it's not time yet. I'll give it to you in a month."
“But I’ve spent nearly 600 since I married you.”
"But this is mainly for repairing the house. We agreed that I would move here."
In other words, we've all agreed that you'll provide the housing, and I'll take care of everything else.
Now, you'll naturally have to contribute money and effort to repair the house, since it will be yours afterward. As for the 100 yuan for the furniture, I'll return any unused portion to you.
Having said that, Lu Yuan didn't continue the conversation; to keep going would make him seem petty.
"Forget it, just tell me if you don't have enough money for the furniture. You can keep the extra. I don't usually need the money anyway."
Wen Moxue smiled to herself, thinking that this man had almost forgotten his agreement with her and had taken on the responsibility of the family.
This also proves that this man is a responsible and reliable person.
Instead of arguing with him, she changed the subject and asked,
