Chapter 61: Surviving a catastrophe and rising to prominence

"Your Lu Chen works under Lei San. I heard that Lei San values ​​him very much. Let Lu Chen talk to Lei San!" One auntie said this deliberately. The other aunties smiled lightly with disdainful eyes.

I have never seen a woman more stupid than Bai Haitang. She doesn't care about her own son, but treats her step-son as her own son. Humph, he is not her own son, and he is so old, it's strange that she can raise him! Other women may be slutty outside, but they still take good care of their children. They try their best to get money from their mistresses for their children to spend. I don't know if this Bai slut has a brain with a buttocks. She is so stubborn that she bullies her own son.

This bitch deserves a large part of the credit for Lu Chen becoming a second-rate person.

Bai Haitang's expression changed, tears welled up in her eyes, and she stammered, "Xiaochen is very busy, I won't disturb him."

She didn't want to beg that rebellious son in a humbly manner. She also had to save her dignity.

"You are my biological mother. No matter how busy your son is, he can't ignore you!" an old lady said maliciously.

Bai Haitang couldn't help but feel sad. Even outsiders knew this truth, but Lu Chen didn't understand it at all. He opposed her every day and made things difficult for her everywhere, making her a nobody inside and outside the Tang family.

"Forget it...I'm leaving!"

Bai Haitang sniffed her tears, smiled sadly, and prepared to go buy groceries. She would not go looking for Lu Chen unless Lu Chen took the initiative to find her.

"Hey, isn't that your Lu Chen? The pretty girl next to him is your daughter-in-law, right? The young couple is a perfect match."

An old lady with sharp eyes saw Lu Chen and Jiang Hanyan and screamed in surprise.

"Isn't this a coincidence? Hurry up and tell Lu Chen about this. You are my biological mother, how can you refuse me when I ask you to do something?"

Several middle-aged women enthusiastically encouraged Bai Haitang to go over, wanting to watch a good show.

Bai Haitang hesitated, but finally she mustered up the courage to walk towards Lu Chen. She went over to say hello and left after that. After all, she was the elder and should be more tolerant and not argue with the younger generation.

"Brother Chen!"

A man's voice interrupted Bai Haitang. She stopped with a sense of relief, took a few steps back, and said softly, "Someone is looking for Xiaochen. I won't disturb him."

"What does it matter? You are not an outsider. You are my biological mother!"

How could the aunties give up such a good opportunity? They pushed Bai Haitang over. Bai Haitang was soft-hearted and thin-skinned, so she was pushed slowly forward by them.

The man who called out to Lu Chen was about twenty years old, tall and thin, wearing glasses, with delicate features, and looked gentle, like a teacher. He walked towards Lu Chen excitedly.

"Lei Ming? Why did you get discharged from the hospital?"

Lu Chen recognized him as one of the fifteen miners buried in the mine. After being rescued, all fifteen people were sent to the hospital.

Lu Chen had a deep impression of Lei Ming, because Lei Ming did not look like a laborer. He was a high school graduate and was said to have been admitted to university. However, his family was too poor, so Lei Ming tore up the admission letter and came to work as a miner in the mine.

Moreover, Lei Ming and his third brother are only slightly related. Outside the fifth degree of generation, they can only be considered members of the same clan. Lei San is quite caring towards Lei Ming. Other coal mines will not accept a weak scholar like Lei Ming. They only want strong and healthy laborers.

Lei Ming was also the one who insisted on knocking on the cave wall. After being buried underground, he was knocking all the time except when he was sleeping. Even when others were in despair, he was still knocking, firmly believing that Lu Chen would come to rescue them.

"I'm not injured. The doctor said I'm fine. Brother Chen, are you here to buy groceries? You are my sister-in-law, right? I've heard about your divine beauty for a long time. Seeing is believing."

Lei Ming smiled at Jiang Hanyan. He was only 20 years old, three years younger than Lu Chen, and spoke in a very literary manner.

"You are really good at talking. You will have no problem finding a partner in the future." Jiang Hanyan was overjoyed to hear that. If you know how to talk, just say more.

She took a quick look at Lei Ming's face and discovered the change in his fate. Logically, this man was destined to have a short life and would not live past thirty, but now everything has changed and he is destined to be wealthy and successful.

Minor characters like Lei Ming are not mentioned in the book, but the fifteen people rescued in the book, although not killed, were all seriously injured.

Among them was a young man who inhaled too much waste dust and drank dirty water and dead rats, which infected his body with a virus and caused him to contract silicosis. He was tortured by illness at a young age and died before he was thirty.

Now Lei Ming is in good health because he doesn't eat dead rats and doesn't inhale too much waste dust, and his fate has changed naturally.

Lei Ming smiled shyly. He was penniless now, so how could he be qualified to find a partner? He also didn't want to harm the girl.

"Are you here to buy vegetables too?" Lu Chen asked.

"Well, I have to go home in the afternoon and buy some things to bring back." Lei Ming replied.

Lu Chen asked about the conditions of the others and learned that they were all fine. The most seriously ill was the youngest child, Xiao Bao, whose broken leg had been reconnected and he was recuperating in the hospital.

"Xiao Bao said that he would go back to school to repeat his studies after his injury healed. He would work hard and make sure he was admitted to university." Lei Ming said with a smile, but there was a hint of sadness in his smile.

He envied Xiao Bao very much. This kid had the money to go to college, but he didn't study hard. Now he finally suffered the consequences. He should study hard in the future, right? Lu Chen also laughed, "We have to let him hit the wall. If he doesn't suffer, he won't know how to study hard."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The two chatted for a while, and Lei Ming went to buy some snacks for his younger brothers and sisters at home.

"Come to my house for lunch and meet at the gate later." Lu Chen called Lei Ming. He admired this boy very much. Although he could not handle physical work, he was smart and capable, better than Lin Xianghong and He Dan.

"OK."

Lei Ming was stunned for a moment, then agreed. He thought for a moment and said, "Brother Chen, Third Brother has been dealing with his superiors recently, but this time he has turned a disaster into a blessing. Third Brother is very grateful to you, and he should come to you in a few days."

If nothing unexpected happens, the third brother will give Lu Chen a big red envelope and let Lu Chen manage the coal mine, which can be regarded as winning people's hearts.

But Lei Ming didn't want to work in the coal mine anymore. He felt that his third brother was too short-sighted and couldn't accomplish anything big. The coal mine only required hard work, and he couldn't give full play to his strengths in the mine and couldn't make much money.

"Got it. See you later."

Lu Chen nodded and took Jiang Hanyan to buy groceries. He understood what Lei Ming meant. Lei San saved at least millions this time. If someone died, it would cost two or three hundred thousand, and he would have to pay a fine. Although Lei San could afford the money, he would also be seriously injured.

This time no one was killed and no one was seriously injured. It was really a blessing in disguise. Lei San only had to pay a fine and spend some money to appease the miners, and the matter would be over.

Although Lei San was short-sighted, he was still generous. The red envelope given to him should not be small. Lu Chen was in a much better mood. He was not greedy and just gave him 30,000 or 50,000 yuan, which he would use as the original capital.

"Xiao Chen!"

Bai Haitang finally came closer and called out. Lu Chen frowned and wanted to stop, but Jiang Hanyan dragged him quickly and pretended not to hear.

The author has symptoms. I hope I can get up and write tomorrow. My dears, you must protect yourselves. One day of delay is one day of delay.
