Yunping calmed down, pretended not to have noticed anything, and simply ignored the proprietress, instead calling out to more customers to buy pastries.
The proprietress realized she couldn't get a word in edgewise, and since she had already bought the items, she couldn't stay any longer, otherwise the other party would definitely notice her problem.
She had no choice but to take the pastries, ride her motorcycle, and hide nearby to secretly observe Yunping and the other woman.
——
A ore field covered in dust.
Lu Sen returned from his business trip last night and stayed overnight at the ore plant.
Getting up early in the morning to go to work and inspect the ore yard is not much different from when I was a team leader.
As I passed by a mine, I saw Lu Xin hiding to one side, smoking and slacking off.
He wanted to pretend he didn't see it and didn't want to meet or talk to Lu Xin.
But the other party discovered him very early on.
"Dasen, why don't you greet your older brother anymore? Has becoming a big manager made you arrogant and disrespectful to others?"
Lu Xin threw down his cigarette butt, stood up, and rushed to Lu Sen.
He had a nonchalant attitude and didn't have the maturity one would expect in their forties.
"Big brother." Left with no other choice, Lu Sen had to call out.
She also knew that Lu Xin wouldn't let her go easily.
"Hey~ That's a good boy, you're my younger brother, and I'm your older brother. How can a younger brother not listen to his older brother? Don't you think so?"
Lu Xin put his arm on Lu Sen's shoulder, looking like they had a very good relationship.
The two walked slowly forward, talking about trivial things.
In particular, Lu Xin was bragging again, "If I became a big manager and earned a thousand yuan a month, I would definitely buy a luxury car, just like Grandpa He's car. How impressive would that be! I would also keep a mistress. That would be the kind of carefree life I'd have."
"I need to work." Lu Sen couldn't stand it anymore and was about to push Lu Xin away when he felt a force pushing him from behind.
He only felt someone push him from behind, and then he lost his balance and fell forward violently.
In front of them were hundreds of stones of all sizes.
There was a crane above, with a stone the size of a large iron pot hanging from its ropes.
Lu Sen fell onto a large rock, letting out a muffled cry of pain.
He slowly rolled over, and before he could react, he saw the stone hanging in mid-air, its rope snapped.
A stone fell towards him—
But when he fell, his knees were sore from the impact that Lu Sen couldn't move at all.
Seeing that the stone was about to fall, he could only twist his body, hoping that even if he was hit by the stone, it wouldn't hit his head or chest.
He wanted to live.
"ah--"
Then came a man's shrill scream.
The sound of bones cracking could be faintly heard.
——
An Wan was playing a game of tag with Lu Zhili when suddenly she felt a sharp pain in her heart and squatted down, clutching her chest.
"Fifth Brother, it hurts so much, come and help me." What happened? My chest hurts so much.
She clearly doesn't have a heart condition.
"Little sister, what's wrong? Don't scare me, little sister—"
When Lu Zhili turned around, he saw her squatting on the ground, her face pale and her forehead covered in a thin layer of sweat.
He was so frightened that he didn't know what to do.
"Fourth Brother—"
"My sister says she's in pain, what should I do?"
This was the first time Lu Zhili, who had intellectual disabilities, had encountered such a situation, and his face turned ashen, as if it had been plastered with putty.
His shoulders were shaking as he struggled to help An Wan stand up and slowly walk into the house.
"Wanwan, you're not feeling well, go see a doctor!" Lu Jiayan quickly wheeled his wheelchair from the small room to the living room.
His palms were rubbed raw and red from the wheelchair.
"Brother Jiayan, I'm fine, I don't need to see a doctor." She moved her pale lips, her voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz.
She knows her body very well; it's impossible that she's sick.
"Don't worry, just let me rest for a while."
After resting in a chair for a while, An Wan's chest pain gradually subsided.
"Brother Jiayan, Fifth Brother, look, I'm alright." Afraid they wouldn't believe her, she even stood up and jumped around a couple of times.
Her face gradually regained its color.
Lu Jiayan thought that if there was a chance, he should let An Wan have a physical examination, since she had been abused and her body had some hidden injuries.
Around noon, An Wan made herself some simple egg noodles at home, planning to cook a better meal later when Lu Jingxing, his two brothers, and Lu Sen came home in the evening.
Having just finished eating, An Wan took a tissue and wiped her greasy mouth clean.
She heard a lot of messy footsteps and noisy talking outside the yard.
But because of the distance, she couldn't hear what was said clearly at first.
"Fifth Brother, please clean up the dishes."
"Huh? Oh." Lu Zhili finished the last sip of noodle soup before finally putting down his chopsticks with satisfaction.
My sister's egg noodles are so delicious.
He quickly gathered up the three large bowls and chopsticks and took them into the kitchen to wash them.
"Brother Jiayan, someone has come to our house. I wonder what it's about." An Wan walked up to him and handed him a glass of warm water.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." He took the water glass and gently patted her arm.
Soon, several knocks were heard outside on the wooden door.
"Come out quickly! Something terrible has happened! Something terrible has happened to Lu Sen!"
"Lu Sen's wife, are you home? Something's happened, come out quickly! Lu Sen has had an accident at the mine."
"Come out quickly, we have a car to take you to the county."
An Wan could still make out who the people were from the voices of several uncles and elders.
Something happened?
Is something terrible happening to Lu Sen?
How is that possible?
They had already cracked the black fog, so how could something have happened so soon?
