Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space

"Xiao Fen, don't be scared, it's okay, don't scream."

Just as Meng Xiu Fen was retreating, truly terrified of Gan Jiancheng, neither of them noticed that Old Lin, who was lying in a pool of blood, suddenly got up. He picked up the kitchen knife and swung it directly at Gan Jiancheng's head.

Right now, Gan Jiancheng was completely unguarded, just trying to quickly comfort his wife, fearful that it might affect the baby inside her.

So, Old Lin's knife directly struck the back of Gan Jiancheng's neck, and he immediately collapsed.

Meng Xiu Fen was so terrified that she fainted on the spot.

After chopping Gan, Old Lin also collapsed to the ground.

Kong Demin picked up his daughter, and the two returned home, smiling as they entered, only to suddenly realize something was wrong—there was a strong smell of blood.

He carefully pulled back the curtain while holding his daughter's hand and witnessed the horrific scene.

Fear pushed him a step back; grabbing his child, he rushed outside.

He rode his bike straight to the police station and reported the crime in a panic.

Hearing such a case, the police station immediately dispatched a team of officers. They too were shocked upon arriving at the scene.

Kong Demin looked at Meng Xiu Fen, who was lying clean on the kang. "Officer, that's my mother-in-law. I don't know how she is, can't we just check on her?"

"Don't move, just wait."

"She's fine, just fainted from fright."

"Officer, my mother-in-law is pregnant. I need to take her to the hospital."

"Okay, you can come in and carry her."

Kong Demin went in, picked up Meng Xiu Fen, and saw his squatting daughter in the yard, taking her with him to the hospital. He couldn't leave the child behind.

Carrying a pregnant woman all the way, even for a young and strong man like Kong Demin, was taxing.

By the time they reached the hospital, half an hour had passed.

By this time, Meng Xiu Fen had woken up, though still somewhat disoriented.

"Xiao Fen, Xiao Fen, you're awake? What exactly happened?"

Hearing Kong Demin's words, Meng Xiu Fen gradually came to her senses. As they approached the hospital entrance, Kong Demin stopped, "What exactly happened?"

"Demin, Old Lin threatened me with our situation, trying to make me sleep with him. When I refused, he tried to force himself on me. Gan Jiancheng suddenly came back and cut Old Lin with a knife. When he was comforting me, Old Lin got up and cut him again. That's all I know."

"I've already called the police. The police station is at home now. After I see you into the hospital, remember, you can't mention Old Lin threatening you. Do you understand?"

Meng Xiu Fen nodded.

"Xiao Fen, is the baby okay?"

"I don't feel any stomach pain."

"Then I must carry you into the hospital and have Yu Jing accompany you. I'll go home to check."

Kong Demin arranged for Meng Xiu Fen and rushed back home.

This was a major case, with public security officers both inside and outside the courtyard. The investigation took three days to conclude, finally unraveling everything, and the Old Lin family next door who cried and made trouble were calmed down by the police station's lesson.

Meng Xiu Fen was truly scared, somewhat in a daze, and only felt better when Kong Demin was around.

In this case, she was the victim. Though it caused a great stir, no one had the heart to disturb her.

Jiang Xinyu received this news during the lunar month.

It was Wang Ailing who wrote to tell her, knowing more than others because her husband handled the case.

Of course, they didn't know about Kong Demin and Meng Xiu Fen's relationship, simply recounting the events to Jiang Xinyu.

After reading, she handed it to Wei Kaiyun. "What do you think of this bizarre situation?"

"What's so bizarre about it?"

"It's strange that the neighbor, who lived there for most of his life, suddenly wanted to take advantage after hearing of the pregnancy."

Wei Kaiyun nodded in agreement; indeed, it was like that.

"Wife, you're not at home yet aware of everything there."

"Of course, my friends wouldn't leave me completely in the dark."

Wei Kaiyun chuckled at his wife's proud demeanor; it was quite amusing.

Little Jiang Feifei had already been over three months old, and the day after tomorrow was her hundredth day celebration.

Wei Kaiyun wanted to capture an image of his daughter, as he wouldn't be able to be with her for the next two years.

"Wife, I've already arranged for the photographer for Feifei's hundredth day photo the day after tomorrow."

"Yes, we should have a family portrait." Jiang Xinyu also fully agreed. After all, it would be a precious memory for the child in the future.

"Wife, do you think we should celebrate New Year somewhere else as a family?"

"Elsewhere? Where?"

"Go back home?"

"I might not make it back before school starts, right?" Jiang Xinyu rolled her eyes at Wei Kaiyun.

"I was thinking we could go back and get the marriage license."

"Just wait until I graduate. Summer's too hot, and I worry about the kids getting heatstroke."

Wei Kaiyun knew his suggestion was unreliable, but he really wanted to get the marriage license that provided protection.

"You shouldn't push yourself too hard. Even if you visit us, you'll only be here for a few days, with most of your time spent on the train. It's not worth it. Just wait for us at home."

"We'll discuss it later. I'm saving my leave."

"How about when you go back, what to do about the factory director there? Who knows who they've chosen for deputy director?"

"If I can go back, it means we've gained the upper hand here, so that one will have to leave. As for deputy director, I think it will be appointed by the management bureau."

"Speaking of deputy directors, I'm reminded of Tian Mingyan. I wonder how she's doing."

"I haven't contacted that side, but I suspect it's not going well for her. Walls have ears, and she's involved with others. Her end won't be good."

"True! Coming back, she'll regret it."

"No doubt, she was like that even before I had trouble. How could she have contacted me?"

"I felt she had some resistance to me from the start."

"Why talk about her? Let's change the subject." Wei Kaiyun disliked discussing unseemly women.

"Wife, do you still have the keys to the Provincial City's house?"

"I have my keys. I hid yours in the gap of the door frame. Same spot, you'll find it when you go back."

"Yes, even if I go back, the chances of staying aren't high."

"But you should look out for Secretary Lu Weiqi."

Wei Kaiyun nodded. "He's He Jian Country's wife's nephew, a decent young man with a steady attitude.

As long as he's willing, he can continue as my secretary."

"Last time, he found me and told me some news, which moved me."

Wei Kaiyun nodded, planning to take care of Lu Weiqi, even if his wife hadn't mentioned it. Having been together for nearly two years, he was quite decent.

"I'm just worried he might leave the textile factory."

"No, even if he leaves, I'll find him. If he's willing, he can still be my secretary."
