Lu Yan was beaten so badly his head was swollen. He called the police, but they couldn't catch the person who beat him.
Because the coffee shop manager and those customers all ran away, and were kept in the dark by others, even when the police arrived, those people wouldn't reveal their information.
And so, Lu Yan couldn't even get the money for the medicine.
He was so angry that he went to the hospital for treatment and the next day he went to find Lu Sen, only to find that Lu Sen was on a business trip to the provincial capital.
Because the skincare products were doing very well, their reputation spread to the provincial capital in just over ten days.
Because tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, Anwan and Yunping went back to Lujia Village to deliver gifts.
The gifts given to the whole village this time were a box of handmade mooncakes, a bottle of "anti-aging cream", two pounds of pork belly, and a box of three pounds of pastries.
Upon hearing the news, the entire village rushed to the ancestral hall to collect their gifts.
Lu Guochang and Niu Ahong were hosting the event, which was packed with people, including the elderly, children, and young people.
In the 1990s, relatively few people went out to work and earn money, so most people relied on farming to support their families.
After all, working outside is nowhere near as free and joyful as being at home.
Although Yunping wore a long silk dress, she didn't wear any jewelry, and seemed to still look the same as she did a few months ago before she became rich.
This made the villagers feel a little better.
Whether she deliberately avoids wearing jewelry to show off, or whether she's not doing well and therefore doesn't wear pretty jewelry, it doesn't matter.
Anyway, most people felt at peace with themselves, especially the women, who felt that they were about the same as Yunping.
Yunping asked Sister Zhang and two women from the village to unload the gifts from the car, sort them, and place them on the table in preparation for distribution.
Yunping also helped, while Anwan sat on the stool eating candy.
It made the village children drool.
"Wanwan, is the candy delicious?"
"Nonsense! If it doesn't taste good, why would I eat it?"
An Wan rolled her eyes.
The children stared intently at her, at the candy in her hand.
"You want to eat?" she asked deliberately, her smile particularly arrogant.
The children nodded like chicks pecking at rice, their eyes filled with anticipation.
They believed her.
“Everyone who sings me a song will receive a big lollipop. They can also tell me a story, dance, and so on.”
As a result, the children eagerly signed up to perform.
Some people sang, some danced, and some told stories.
Regardless of whether it looked good or not, An Wan would always praise him with a smile and give him candy.
The performance was quite entertaining, enlivening the tense atmosphere and making the villagers laugh heartily.
An Wan brought a large bag of candy and chocolate. She was tired of eating chocolate, and since she had a whole box of it at home, she brought it to share with them.
"Wanwan, you're so kind."
"The chocolate is so delicious, thank you Wanwan."
The group of kids had their mouths all dirty from eating chocolate, and they were grinning at An Wan like idiots.
Standing not far away, Lu Xiaojing and her siblings watched An Wan become the leader of the children and how popular she was, and they were very jealous.
Just a few days ago, they were very popular with those people because their father got 30,000 yuan in cash from their second uncle, and half the village came to curry favor with them.
Having enjoyed others' compliments for so long, it's really disheartening and unfair to suddenly lose them.
"Xiaoli, go get the chocolate first," Lu Xiaojing ordered her.
"Why me? Aren't you going?" Lu Xiaojing asked, tilting her head, unhappy that her fourth sister always made her do everything.
"You go first, we'll follow behind you."
"oh."
Why do we have to do this?
Fourth Sister seems to dislike An Wan.
Lu Xiaoli didn't dare to say it, so she could only walk ahead alone. The place wasn't big, and she walked a dozen meters before reaching An Wan.
"Hello, Sister Anwan." Lu Xiaoli instinctively shrank her neck, worried that Anwan didn't like her and would reject her.
"It's you, Xiaoli. How are you doing?" Upon seeing her, Anwan showed all her enthusiasm.
Seeing Lu Xiaoli is like seeing myself in a past life.
Because of the preference for sons over daughters, she was not favored at home, was invisible, and was used as a punching bag to vent her anger on, being beaten and scolded at will.
They eat the worst and the least, but do the most.
They get nothing but beatings and scoldings.
Lu Xiaoli nodded, "I...I'm fine, thank you, Sister Anwan."
"Want some chocolate? I have some more here, take them." Before Lu Xiaoli could answer, An Wan handed her six chocolates.
If we wait for her to ask for it in person, I probably won't be able to give her the chocolate.
A child who is insecure and timid will not accept things from others.
She was afraid of owing favors, which she couldn't repay or give in return.
Because she had nothing, no money, only a sincere heart, yet she feared being looked down upon by others.
"Thank you, Sister Anwan, thank you so much." Lu Xiaoli felt a lump in her throat and her eyes welled up with tears when she saw the chocolates and candies in her hand.
An Wan watched Lu Xiaoli's departing figure and saw her walk up to Lu Xiaojing, where all her chocolates and candies were snatched away.
She knew this would happen.
This Lu Xiaojing not only doesn't take care of her younger sister, but she also dares to bully her.
Each household sent a representative, and after everyone arrived, Lu Guochang began calling out names before they could come over to receive their Spring Festival gifts.
The sight of meat and mooncakes caused a stir among the crowd.
It took me an hour and a half to sort out the gift-giving.
The villagers didn't rush to leave, especially some of the women.
"Yunping, we have a question for you. Isn't your family planning to reopen the garment factory? Do you need to hire workers? What kind of staff will be needed to help with the reopening?"
The three questions left Yunping speechless.
