Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space-Chapter 499 accident

"Mr. Qian, my condolences," Jiang Xinyu said softly.

Qian Jun nodded, "You three should head back."

"Mr. Qian, it’s better to have Secretary Fang stay with you; it’ll be convenient if anything comes up."

Qian Jun glanced at Jiang Xinyu, nodded, "Alright, Secretary Fang will stay. You two take care."

"Okay, take care of yourself."

As they rode their bikes, neither knew what to say. A joyful occasion had unexpectedly turned into this.

"Jiang Xinyu, you shouldn’t go out alone at night anymore; it’s too dangerous."

"Yeah, who would’ve thought something like this would happen? From now on, you and Jingyi must stick together."

"We’ll definitely stay together; I’m scared. What happened here?"

"I heard from Secretary Song that the man wasn’t mentally stable."

"It’s such a pity."

"Yes, it’s a real pity."

When they arrived at the factory, Jiang Xinyu was not in a good mood; accepting the sudden death of an acquaintance wasn’t easy.

She dialed She Xiaoyun’s number, "Sister She, did you hear?"

"I heard. How could this happen?"

"You can say that to me, but be careful not to say it to others."

"I know, I’m being extra cautious with my words now."

"I went to pay respects at noon, and the burial is tomorrow morning."

"We’re going in the afternoon. It’s such a pity; she was so happy about becoming the factory manager’s wife, and then this happened."

"Who would’ve thought?" It’s just too sad.

After hanging up, Jiang Xinyu went to find Song Qingqing and Pan Xiulan. She needed to talk to ease her heavy heart.

The two secretaries hadn’t taken a break either, and the three of them began discussing the incident.

"You two should leave work together from now on, and wait for someone to pick you up if it’s late."

"Don’t just tell us; you need to be careful too."

"I never work overtime."

"Then be careful yourself. I never expected there to be such terrifying people." Song Qingqing glanced at Jiang Xinyu, who was quite bold.

"Anyway, everyone needs to be cautious. Qingqing, go to the union this afternoon and ask them to draft a notice, and have it circulated below. Female comrades must take extra precautions."

"Got it. I’ll go as soon as I start work. This has really scared everyone."

"Yes, it’s the most painful. Mr. Qian is probably the most unfortunate; he finally got married, and then this happened."

Jiang Xinyu and the others sighed.

As Jiang Xinyu rode her bike home after work, it seemed the women on the street were all being very cautious; this incident was a real wake-up call.

"Honey, you should try to transfer to the provincial office; I’d feel more at ease," Wei Kaiyun said, hearing the news in the morning, feeling on edge.

"I can’t just leave now, and besides, I think people like that will stay away for a while. Plus, I never go out alone, so don’t worry."

"How can I not worry? If someone with bad intentions comes to the house, what would you do?"

"There aren’t that many bad people."

"Isn’t Kong Demin one?"

"Him? How much longer can he act up?

Today we went to express our condolences; Qian Jun hasn’t processed it yet. Soon he’ll realize that if the Revolutionary Committee hadn’t come to stir things up, maybe this wouldn’t have happened. He’ll surely be angry at Kong Demin, especially with what we sent up. Do you think he’ll fare well?"

"You always have a reason. But how can I calm down?"

"Alright, stop worrying. Once Qian Jun returns to work, I’ll call Director Zhu and resign."

"They won’t agree."

They both knew they were in a tough spot, feeling trapped.

"Why don’t you go to Shanghai for now? I think Qian Jun will take some time off, or maybe he’ll go instead, to clear his mind."

"I went to express condolences this afternoon too. Qian Jun asked me to wait for you for a few days."

"I think he should go; staying in this environment is torture for him."

"But I want to go with you."

"I can’t decide right now; I’ll talk to Qian Jun with Yao Shimin tomorrow at noon."

Wei Kaiyun didn’t speak, pondering that if his wife wasn’t going, he’d just send Lu Changhong from workshop nine instead, and not go himself.

That night, Wei Kaiyun held Jiang Xinyu tightly, causing her discomfort, "I still have to work tomorrow."

"If you don’t go, I’m not going either. We’d be separated again; what should I do?"

Jiang Xinyu said nothing; indeed, they faced separation again. The next day at noon, Jiang Xinyu and Yao Shimin went to Qian Jun’s home.

In the morning, the burial had already taken place due to the current heat and many eyes on the situation.

"You didn’t need to come."

"Mr. Qian, what happened?" The house was empty; Jiang Xinyu asked while frowning.

"Everything was given to the Gao Family. By the way, I’m going to work in the afternoon."

"Aren’t you taking some time off? Mr. Qian, why don’t you go to Shanghai to change the environment, maybe improve your mood?"

Qian Jun shook his head, "No, I’m not going anywhere. You should go."

Yao Shimin also encouraged him, hoping Qian Jun would go travel.

"I’m not leaving; there are too many things at home; I really can’t."

"Then let’s all head back to the factory."

Qian Jun didn’t need to pack much; he secured the windows and doors, and the three returned to the textile factory together.

What was supposed to be a joyful event turned into this.

Qian Jun lay in his office, still unable to overcome this hurdle, continuously blaming himself.

But he also knew dwelling on it was pointless; the events had transpired. It seemed he wasn’t suited for marriage.

Yet another voice inside blamed Gao Ruyun, thinking if she’d been more generous, none of this would’ve happened. It was all her fault.

These couple of days, he hadn’t slept at all, but soon he drifted off. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Before leaving work, Qian Jun told Jiang Xinyu to find Wei Kaiyun and head to Shanghai promptly.

"Then I’ll take leave."

"Go, and be careful on the way; there are all sorts of people out there."

Jiang Xinyu nodded; she knew better than to act alone now, having been frightened, thinking about past events made her realize how reckless she’d been before. Truly, ignorance knows no fear.

After work, she went directly home, seeing Wei Kaiyun cooking. She went to shower, and by the time she emerged, dinner was ready.

They had agreed not to prepare extravagant meals anymore, fearing neighbors might report them, leading to complications. They didn’t want unnecessary trouble.

"This afternoon, Qian Jun went to work. He didn’t go to Shanghai; he still wants me to go."
