Chapter 104: Chapter 93 Sun San’s Accident_1

“I’m not sure if anything will go wrong.”

After pondering nervously for a long time, Zhang Yuan picked up a syringe, and uncertainly walked into the bathroom.

“……”

About ten minutes later, Zhang Yuan came out of the bathroom and awkwardly clenched her fist.

However, when she thought of Li Ming’s affection for her, she felt there was nothing wrong with making some extra efforts.

After struggling for a while, Zhang Yuan eventually managed to leave the house despite the strange feeling. As soon as she stepped out, she bumped into Li Ming, who was taking his new sister out for a meal.

This lousy husband of mine, he dotes on other women every day when I have my period.

Zhang Yuan pouted, her childish tantrum immediately caught by Li Ming.

“Are you feeling better today?”

Noticing that Zhang Yuan seemed unhappy, Li Ming, with Xu Xiu nestled on his left shoulder, stretched his right hand around Zhang Yuan and asked with intimacy.

As he spoke, Li Ming suddenly felt something strange, he reached into it and his eyes brightened: “Baby, are you ready?”

“Not yet, it just started, you can’t mess around. My period won’t end until tomorrow night at the earliest, so it has to wait until the day after tomorrow.”

Zhang Yuan spoke with a red face, and as she saw Li Ming trying to kiss her, she quickly opened her mouth.

Xu Xiu shyly turned away to avoid watching them kiss and it took a while before Li Ming carried her off, step by step.

But the pace…was too slow.

Xu Xiu looked over Li Ming’s shoulder, her heart startled to see his hand on Zhang Yuan.

Here…is it okay, too?

While Xu Xiu’s mind was going blank, in the living room on the second floor, Little Yinyin watched his uncle holding two beautiful ladies, his eyes flashing with doubt.

Why, why is uncle walking so slowly today?

“Lousy husband, stop it, you can’t stand it anymore. See you the day after tomorrow.”

Zhang Yuan had to endure ten seconds for each step that Li Ming took. Seeing the little girl looking over, she couldn’t take it anymore and quickly clapped her hands, removing the mischievous hand, she hastened her steps down the stairs and then awkwardly sat at the dining table.

When she sat down, she suddenly felt uncomfortable, stood up instantly, and then felt off again whilst standing. She sat down once again and still wasn’t comfortable, but seeing Little Yinyin puzzled, she had to put on a stiff smile and stay there.

“Don’t worry, you’ll get used to it. I promise this’ll be the last time, I will surely love you properly.”

Li Ming sat next to Zhang Yuan, holding Xu Xiu, and quietly started to speak in her ear. Zhang Yuan’s face turned crimson and she grunted softly, she couldn’t help but pinch Li Ming and then closed her mouth waiting for the dishes to be served.

Soon, breakfast was served, it comprised rice porridge, white bread, and pickles. Liu Fang had just steamed the bread two days ago, it was quite delicious. Everyone ate the bread along with some pickles, it was a satisfying meal.

“We still need to eat more rice and vegetables. We can’t eat too much instant noodles and bread. We will eat pickles these few days, be frugal with the meat, we will have some when we find a supply chain for meat.”

After breakfast, seeing everyone in good spirits, except Little Yinyin who did not want to eat pickles, Li Ming said to Liu Fang: “If we run out of pickles, I’ll find another supermarket.”

“No worries, the pickles we got from those two supermarkets will last us a quite while. I just thought, since we have people coming to work and eat every day, I just wanted to be more economical. So from now on, let’s just eat pickles, no more instant noodles for breakfast.”

Liu Fang quickly replied with a somewhat forced smile. Li Ming didn’t say much, he had a brief chat with everyone after the meal then let Xu Xiu rest. He would join her in bed after practicing Ba Duan Jin. Then he left the living room and drove away.

Being told by Li Ming to wait for him in bed in front of so many people, Xu Xiu’s face turned red to the roots of her ears. She hastily got up as if nothing happened and went to practice Ba Duan Jin. Just as she was about to take a rest after three rounds and go upstairs, Zhang Yuan pulled her aside to exchange thoughts.

Xu Xiu didn’t have any thoughts or advice, she was just going along with Li Ming’s whims.

As a result, it seemed that she had done all the things Zhang Yuan asked about.

In the end, seeing her blushing shyly, Zhang Yuan finally let her go back to her room. Xu Xiu quickly returned to her room, lying in bed waiting for Li Ming’s return.

“What a lascivious husband.”

Zhang Yuan complained in a low voice, her heart yearned for her period to end soon.

She also wanted to be loved by this lousy husband.

……

……

In the morning at the gathering place, just as the sun illuminated the area and people started to move about, a man walked into a group of laborers gathered together, slapped Sun San on the shoulder and said, “Brother San, Brother Zhuang is looking for you.”

“Brother Zhuang is looking for me?”

Sun San was stunned, the noise of the surrounding brothers suddenly quieted down, their eyes all converged on the messenger.

“No, it’s not me, don’t look at me. I don’t know why, Brother Zhuang wanted to see you as soon as he got up this morning.”

The gaze of the crowd was intimidating causing the man among the group of fighters to quickly wave his hands and take a step back.

“It’s okay, I’ll go see. You guys get ready and wait for Brother Ming afterwards.”

Sun San squinted his eyes in thought before opening his mouth to his brothers with a smile on his face. Not a single person made a sound. All eyes were on him.

Everyone knew the risks associated with dealing with Chen Zhuang.

“Although, it might not necessarily be a bad thing.”

Sun San laughed, waved at his brothers, and confidently stepped towards Chen Zhuang’s room with the rest of the men watching closely.

“Knock, knock, knock…”

Sun San arrived at Chen Zhuang’s room’s door and cheerfully knocked. A moment later, the door opened, unveiling Chen Zhuang’s muscular body.

“Brother Zhuang.”

Sun San greeted Chen Zhuang with a grin. Chen Zhuang welcomed him warmly, “Brother Sun San, come in, come on in.”

As Chen Zhuang welcomed Sun San inside, he was puzzled when he saw six good-looking ladies and a female manager all huddled in their room’s innermost part, appearing somewhat unsettled.

Just then, he felt a heavy hand on his shoulder. Sun San turned around to see Chen Zhuang averting his eyes, a friendly smile plastered on his face.

……

“Squeak…”

The car stopped in front of the gathering area on the rooftop of the canteen. Li Ming got out of the driver’s seat and saw Chen Qiang and the others standing outside, along with three women and another five men, all gathered at the entrance of the assembly area.

What puzzled him was, why wasn’t Sun San here?

“Brother Ming, good morning!”

Upon seeing Li Ming step out, everyone’s faces blossomed into bright smiles, greeting him warmly.

“Okay, everyone on board. Where’s Sun San, though?”

Li Ming waved his hand, signaling them to get in the car, but then he noticed an unfamiliar man in the group, causing him to frown, “Who are you?”

“Brother Ming, my name is Zheng Gou. Brother Zhuang asked Sun San for help and I’m here to fill his place for today. Is that all right with you?”

The new arrival, a stout man with a large head and a thick neck, immediately responded with a resounding voice.

“Zhuang asked him to leave?”

Li Ming was taken aback for a moment, then looked at the chubby stranger and frowned, feeling somewhat displeased: “What can you possibly do on your first day here? But since Brother Zhuang ordered you to come, just follow them. As for who will fill Sun San’s place…”

Li Ming scanned the crowd, then his gaze landed on Zhou Cheng, who suddenly looked quite dejected: “Zhou Cheng, can you recall how things were being done yesterday?”

Zhou Cheng was taken aback as he didn’t expect to be called, then he got up quickly and stammered, “Yes, yes, yes, I can.”

“Then you’ll lead the team today, now that Sun San is on double supplies, you’ll be on a double share from today as well. Let’s go.”

Li Ming nodded, retracted his gaze, and did not say anything more, instead, he gestured for everyone to get into the cars.

“Ok, Brother Ming!”

Zhou Cheng watched Li Ming carefully, once he finished speaking, he took the lead to walk towards his car with the rest of his team following.

“Vroom~”

The cars began to move, everyone got into their respective vehicles, and within no time, Zhou Cheng followed behind Li Ming’s car towards Linjiang Villa in the car he’d previously parked outside the gathering area.

The atmosphere inside the car was filled with silence, everyone remaining expressionless.

The newcomer, Zheng Gou, relaxed back in his seat, intermittently watching the scenery passing by outside.

Zhou Cheng frequently glanced at Zheng Gou, who was sitting in the back, through the rearview mirror. He felt a sudden sense of calmness about himself and continued to drive following Li Ming’s car in utter silence.

The end times always come with surprises.

Many things happen so suddenly.

As they slowly reached the villa area, awaiting their usual breakfast, Zhou Cheng gaze drifted towards Liu Li and her husband who had moved in here. For a moment, he envied them.

However, he quickly averted his gaze, simultaneously chatting and laughing with the others while waiting for breakfast to be served.

……

“Chen Qiang, what’s going on? Why was Sun San suddenly called away?”

While Zhou Cheng and the others were inside the house waiting for their meal, Li Ming pulled Chen Qiang aside for a brief discussion. Seeing the worry etched on his face, Li Ming handed him a cigarette and asked with a furrowed brow.

Sun San was a charismatic person, capable to lead the team harmoniously. Li Ming rather preferred his style over others.

He was confused about why he was called away after just one day.

As Chen Qiang faced Li Ming, he didn’t know what to say. His body started to shiver, and upon noticing this, Li Ming lit up a cigarette and reassured him: “Just say what you need to say.”

“Puff~”

Chen Qiang took a hard puff on his cigarette, momentarily blanking out, before gritting his teeth, “Brother Ming, I’ll tell you, but you have to promise not to let anyone know you know, okay?”

With a pleading look on his face, Chen Qiang waited for Li Ming’s response. Unable to help himself, Li Ming furrowed his brows, “What’s the matter? Just say it.”
