Chapter 89 Fan Dayong, you've come at just the right time!
"He's not dead yet, but he'll be dying in less than fifteen minutes!" Tong Yuheng stopped her. What happened just now was self-defense; to attack now would be murder!
However, the two women simply waited quietly for Fan Eryong to die, and it was absolutely certain that they would not help him!
"Okay, I'll be a good Samaritan this once and help you move him!"
Widow Zhou saw the old woman lift Fan Eryong's arm, place it on her shoulder, and drag her to the wall. With a leap, she carried Fan Eryong's limp body over the wall and disappeared!
She felt like she was dreaming. Where was Fan Eryong? Where was that mysterious old lady? If it weren't for the loose change and tickets Fan Eryong had brought still lying in the middle of the courtyard, she would have believed it was all a dream!
Oh! There's still a pillar? Did he leave or not?
She opened the door and saw Shazhuzi squatting at the door like a big dog. She pulled him up and led him across the yard into the main room.
"Zhu Zi, I'll pack up and go home with you!" Widow Zhou made up her mind to leave.
"Great! I'll have the captain prepare a feast for me, I'm getting married!" Silly Pillar was overjoyed.
"No need for a feast. We'll go to your village tomorrow morning to get the necessary documents and register. If they don't agree, I'll live with you! Remember, my name is Zhou Yanzhi, you can call me Yanzhi from now on!"
"Hmm, Yanzhi, your name is so beautiful!"
The next day, the steel mill heard some good news: Widow Zhou had moved out of that dilapidated house; apparently, she had married and moved to the countryside. With one less troublemaker in the compound, many women were happy.
However, not long after, another piece of bad news came: Fan Eryong had been killed by someone hitting him with a brick, and his body and the brick were dumped in a grove of trees in a park not far from the steel factory!
What's wrong with this park? One person drowned, and another was beaten to death. Is some kind of evil spirit coming out at night to claim lives? I can't go to that park anymore!
Tong Yuheng stopped paying attention to what happened next; she was thinking about how to deal with Fan Yaqing and Fan Dayong. Wu Zhigang and Fan Eryong had both brought this upon themselves. But the two culprits were still jumping around quite happily!
Or should we send a message to Wu Zhigang's parents? Let them know that Fan Yaqing killed their precious son? Those two old folks aren't any good either. They ruined their daughter for their son's sake. I wonder what they'll do if they find out the truth about their son's death?
Tong Yuheng mentally considered the possible developments of the situation. She didn't want to implicate innocent people because of her own family's problems; otherwise, she wouldn't have helped Widow Zhou. Her main reason for intervening was that she felt it wouldn't be worth it for that simple-minded man to go to jail; his sincerity and kindness shouldn't lead to such an outcome.
Sigh, I hope Zhou Yanzhi can truly be a good person and cherish the person who cares about her!
As dawn broke, Tong Yuheng placed the fish, shrimp, and lotus roots from his spatial storage in a small grove near the black market, and had Zheng Yunqing find someone to weigh and haul them away.
The kid hadn't slept all night, yet he was still full of energy. He had gotten up before four in the morning to wait at the black market because he was going to trade fish, shrimp, and lotus roots with that woman.
His grandfather and father divided the twenty pounds of special fruit into ten portions, intending to send them to a few close friends, who were all comrades-in-arms who had gone through life and death together.
Two of them were already bedridden, and they absolutely could not afford to collapse at this time. Factional infighting was already severe, and they still had to withstand the pressure to protect people crucial to the country. If they were gone, their children and subordinates would also be targeted, and the outcome would be dire!
Grandpa Zheng kept two portions for his family: one for his family to share, and one for his eldest grandson who was in the army. His injuries were affecting his combat effectiveness, and if this fruit could help heal his old wounds, he would be better equipped for future missions.
Unexpectedly, his grandson's reckless actions led to an extraordinary encounter. Others might not know, but he did. There are always some reclusive masters who occasionally come down from the mountains to form connections with certain people in the world.
Haha, his little grandson is the family's lucky star! He told his grandson that as long as the person didn't ask him to do anything immoral or harmful to the country or the people, he should do it as much as possible.
He also instructed him to keep his whereabouts a secret, and not to sell the other supplies he obtained casually. He told him to just give them to him at cost price, and he would find a way to send these things to the troops in Haoyou at a reasonable price to improve the soldiers' nutrition!
Zheng Yunqing: Your noble character and integrity have blocked my way of making money!
He stubbornly left behind several hundred kilograms of various vegetables and fruits for those friends who used to block his door demanding goods, and finally made back his investment!
"Auntie, I... I wanted to ask, you must know something about medicine, right? Do you have any medicine that can treat paralysis in the elderly? An elder in my family is already very ill..."
This Grandpa Li lived in the military compound, and he and his grandfather were close friends who could trust each other implicitly. He was perfectly fine, but last month he suddenly fell ill and was hospitalized. His health deteriorated rapidly, and now he's on his deathbed!
"I'm not a god, I don't have any medicine to bring the dead back to life. Give him some of those fruits to eat, it might alleviate the symptoms even if it doesn't cure him." Tong Yuheng didn't know who the person was, so he didn't intervene.
"Oh, I was greedy. Please don't blame me, Auntie. She's an elder who watched me grow up, and I just wanted to help." Zheng Yunqing sighed.
Tong Yuheng said to him, "Life and death are predestined. If your elder is not destined to die, things will soon take a turn for the better. Many things are beyond human control, but we can do our best." These words really sounded like those of an elder speaking to a younger person.

So far, Tong Yuheng's travel plans have been largely completed. However, she is still uneasy because Fan Dayong, that venomous snake, is secretly watching her family.
After completing the black market transaction, she went to track Fan Dayong. Unexpectedly, he got up early and went to his family's old house!
The house, which was half collapsed, had only been warm for less than two months, and it was already overgrown with weeds. Among the pile of bricks and rubble, tiny grass shoots were peeking out.
Haha, it really does look like a haunted house! In that case, why not add some more ghost stories? Fan Dayong, you've come at just the right time!
Fan Dayong entered through the broken outer wall, crawled into the main room that hadn't collapsed, searched around inside, even bringing a military shovel to dig, and finally came out disappointed.
Undeterred, he ran to the side room where the windows and doors had been stolen and searched it thoroughly. He even pressed his ear against the walls and floor, knocking and tapping, trying to find a space where he could hide something.
Unfortunately, he found nothing and was destined to have wasted his time!
