Chapter 53: Cry if you want to
"Second brother should be angry with me. Those people are here for me. If it weren't for me, second sister-in-law would not have encountered this kind of thing today." Ning Xi lowered her head guiltily, wondering what happened to her when she relived her life, she She is not afraid and will face it with gritted teeth, but she should not harm Zhang Ying.
Lu He sighed, "Xiao Xi, don't say that. This is not your fault, it's those people's fault. Xiao Nan, see if there is a way to find those people. This matter can't be left alone."
"Well! We can't let it go like this." Lu Nan glanced at Zhang Ying and saw that Zhang Ying's mood had slowly stabilized before continuing, "Second brother, starting from tomorrow, you and second sister-in-law will go to the market to set up stalls together. "I'll call my aunt tomorrow to ask my aunt to help us rent a house near the textile factory. Then you and the second sister-in-law will move there first and continue to set up a stall in the town. Xiaoxi and I will handle the business at home."
Lu He frowned, "I won't go tomorrow. I'll let your second sister-in-law rest for a few days."
Zhang Ying immediately shook her head, "No, Xiao Xi has said before that spicy strips and dried fish are long-term business and must not be left behind."
"Second brother, the more important it is to go out at this time, don't let anyone see any clues." The person least qualified to speak at the moment was Ning Xi, so her voice was very low when she spoke, and her attitude was also special. end.
Lu Nan also said, "If you feel sorry for the second sister-in-law, go out tomorrow and let the second sister-in-law sit next to you and rest while you set up a stall yourself."
Three people said this, and Lu He could only nod his head silently.
Lu Nan sent Lu He and his wife out. After leaving the door, Lu He turned around and said, "Xiao Nan, you will find those people!"
Lu He knew that his younger brother was very capable and had connections in the town. He didn't have the ability to find those people, so he had to rely on his younger brother.
Lu Nan nodded, "Yes."
“You and Xiao Xi have a good talk. I really don’t mean to blame her. I’m just nervous about your second sister-in-law.”
Lu Nan nodded, "Go back and rest! You have to get up early tomorrow."
After Lu He and his wife left, Lu Nan closed the door and returned to the house. Ning Xi was already sterilizing the silver needle and preparing to give him the injection.
“No more pricking today, go to bed early.”
“No, your legs have just reacted a little, you must hold on.”.
At Ning Xi’s insistence, Lu Nan still got the acupuncture.
After the injection, he held her in his arms, kissed her lips, and asked softly, "Do you know who did it?"
"One of the four people was very timid. I just threatened him, and he persuaded me, saying that a man named Wang Ergou asked them to do it, and they wanted to take me back and hand me over to someone."
"Okay, I understand. I'll take care of the rest." He gently touched her head. "Cry if you want. In front of your man, you don't need to hold back."
Click, click, click!
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, crystal tears fell down Ning Xi's eyelids. She was a few years younger than Zhang Ying. She was originally very afraid of that kind of thing because of what happened in her previous life. She didn't shed them after the accident. A drop of tears kept comforting Zhang Ying.
Does she really not want to cry?
No, it’s not.
She did not dare to cry.
Zhang Ying was about to collapse at that time. If she cried too, Zhang Ying would only collapse further and cry harder.
She had been holding back and returning home. When she saw Lu Nan, she couldn't help but want to cry several times, but she still held it back because she was afraid that outsiders would know about it and that they would see her vulnerable side.
“I’m sorry, I made you feel wronged.”
"It was my fault this time. I didn't consider your safety. It won't happen again in the future. I promise that this will never happen again in the future, and I will never let anyone hurt my sweet baby again."
He gently comforted her and kissed her over and over again until she tired in his arms and fell into a deep sleep. This time she was really frightened. She felt uncomfortable even when she fell asleep. She clutched his clothes tightly with her little hands, and seemed to be sobbing from time to time like a child.
I was sure that the person in my arms had fallen asleep. The man who was so tender a second ago now had a terrifyingly gloomy face.
No matter who hurts her or tries against her, they must pay the price.

In the early morning, the mist filled the air and the surrounding scenery was blurry. As soon as Wang Xiuqin opened the door, more than a dozen people walked into the yard in an orderly manner, and everyone got busy with a clear division of labor. They just announced a salary increase yesterday, and it was still better than the town. The wages of those workers on the job are higher. Although no one in the Lu family said they wanted to start work early, everyone has consciously come to work early.
Lu Zhenghai also got up early and had already prepared breakfast. After Lu Nan finished washing, the father and son sat in the kitchen to have breakfast.
Lu Nan peeled an egg for himself, "Dad, when you make porridge in the morning, you can add some vegetable leaves or minced meat to it. When the porridge is cooked, add a little lard and salt to it. Xiao Xi doesn't like it very much. White porridge.”
Lu Zhenghai nodded good-naturedly, "Okay, you have to tell me how you like to eat."
"You should have heard what happened last night." Lu Nan raised his head and looked at Lu Zhenghai. The second brother and his wife were very loud last night, and it was impossible for his father not to hear it.
Lu Zhenghai had indeed heard everything and had no intention of hiding it. "You have to comfort Xiao Xi. Even if you don't like to talk normally, you don't know how uncomfortable it will be to comfort her at this time."
"I know." Lu Nan actually wanted to tell his father not to look down on Xiao Xi or say something unpleasant because of this incident, but he didn't expect that his father would give him a lesson first. Xiao Xi had a different view on things, and he was relieved.
Ning Xi opened her eyes in a daze in the room. She cried for a long time last night and her eyes were swollen. When she opened her eyes, her eyes were a little blurry and her eyes hurt.
The people around him were gone, but the quilt was still warm. He must have just woken up not long ago.
She lay on the bed blankly, her mind flashing back to the way he gently coaxed her last night. He also said she was his good baby last night.
Gosh! She never knew that Lu Nan could say such disgusting words of love.
Her face turned red unconsciously, and she raised her hands to cover her face, with a sweet smile that only a girl should have on her lips.
“Wake up, come and apply some compress on your eyes.” His voice sounded coldly in his ears.
She quickly put away her smile and put down her hand.
Lu Nan folded the towel and put it over her eyes.
"It's so cold." She was shocked by the coldness and wanted to reach out to take off the towel, but he grabbed her hand.
"The water just drawn from the well must be ice cold. Applying it obediently can reduce swelling."
She knew that cold compresses can dissolve it, and she didn’t grab a towel. “What time is it?”
Lu Nan glanced at his watch: "5:20."
“Are the second brother and second sister-in-law gone?”
"Not yet. There is a tricycle so I can go out later." Lu Nan took out the towel, soaked it again and applied it to her face. "It just so happens that you don't have to get up early today. The mask you made hasn't been used yet. How about I apply it on you by the way?"
Ning Xi immediately refused, "No, the salesmen will be here later."
“Okay, then apply it at night.”
After applying a cold compress for a while, Ning Xi’s eyes were slightly better than before. When she finished packing and left the house, Lu He and Zhang Ying happened to come over with their backpacks.
