Jiang Hanyan's eyes were bright. Yes, Xu Dongxiu was stingy and shrewd. She was also in charge of the family's financial affairs. She must have hidden a lot of private money.

"I'll go to the market to find her tomorrow. How much do you think is appropriate?"

"Two thousand yuan is almost enough."

Lu Chen roughly estimated the amount. Xu Dongxiu must have more than two thousand yuan, but he should not be impatient, otherwise this woman would jump over the wall and refuse to admit her debt, and she would not get a penny.

"Okay, just two thousand yuan!"

Jiang Hanyan nodded and received another two thousand yuan. She was in a great mood. Looking at Lu Chen, she felt more and more beautiful and handsome, more eye-catching than the top card of a certain horse club.

"Eat a big bone!"

She took the biggest one and put it in Lu Chen's bowl, smiling like a flower.

Lu Chen glanced at her. It was clear that this woman was jealous of money, so why didn't he feel disgusted and even found her a bit cute?

He didn't dare to look anymore, lowered his head and concentrated on chewing the bones, but his heartbeat speeded up a lot, and his face felt faintly hot.

There were too many dishes cooked at night, and there was still a lot left.

"I'll bring Xianghong and poached eggs to eat."

Lu Chen went to the kitchen to get a lunch box. The food in the coal mine was the same as pig food. Lin Xianghong and He Dan lived and ate in the mine and rarely went home. Lin Xianghong was better, and her widowed mother would prepare delicious food when she came home.

Even if He Dan goes home, he can't eat well. His parents don't care about him at all, and they can't even eat hot food.

"Take them all, how about frying some more eggs?"

Jiang Hanyan sympathized with these two people. She was loyal to Lu Chen, but they didn't end well. She hoped that her bad luck could be changed in this life. She fried six poached eggs, and there were still a lot of dishes left. Lu Chen packed two

I also brought a big basin and some rice, wrapped it in a cotton bag, and went to the mine to heat it up before eating.

Lu Chen rested at home for a while and left by bike at nine o'clock. The coal mine was in the suburbs and it took half an hour to ride.

Lin Xianghong and He Dan were both on duty. It was late spring and the night was freezing to the bone. They lit a coal stove in the house to warm up. Lu Chen came in, took out his lunch box, and said lightly: "Your sister-in-law asked me to bring the meal."

There was a little bit of pride in his tone, which you wouldn't be able to tell unless you listened carefully. He Dan and Lin Xianghong were both attracted by the large intestine and big bones, but they couldn't hear Lu Chen's invisible show off. He cheered and opened the lunch box.

Just pick it up and eat it.

"Hot it up!"

Lu Chen's face darkened, and he cursed the two idiots secretly. They didn't know what to say, but he couldn't show off again, so he had to give it up.

The meat and vegetables don't taste good when they are cold. There are ready-made pots and stoves in the house, so it is very convenient to heat the dishes.

After a while, the food was steaming hot. He Dan and Lin Xianghong couldn't help but salivate. They also went to the canteen to get some cold rice, add some water and boil it before eating.

"It's so delicious. Brother Chen, you are so lucky to have married such a wonderful woman as your sister-in-law."

He Dan praised it while eating, his face full of envy.

The corners of Lu Chen's mouth raised slightly, but he said impatiently: "Eat yours!"

"oh!"

He Dan gnawed the bones obediently, but in his heart he felt that Brother Chen was sick. He obviously liked hearing him praise his sister-in-law, so why did he pretend to be like this?

What should I do if my sister-in-law sees it and makes Brother Chen kneel on the washboard when she is angry?

He Dan shook his head, too lazy to think about it anymore. Anyway, he was not the one kneeling on the washboard.

Lin Xianghong curled her lips and felt sour in her heart. If only he had a wife, she would definitely be able to cook good food. Then he would also invite Brother Chen and the poached eggs to his home for dinner.

After a delicious supper, Lin Xianghong and He Dan both burped with satisfaction and gave the remaining bones to the dogs. Four big wolfdogs were raised at the mine to guard the home.

"Be alert at night, especially in the second half of the night." Lu Chen asked.

"I know."

Lin Xianghong and He Dan nodded simultaneously.

It was particularly cold that night. The bright white moon hung high in the sky, illuminating the ground. Lu Chen couldn't sleep, so he went out to breathe. His breath was like white smoke. The grass on the ground was covered with hoarfrost.

Obviously it will be a sunny day again tomorrow.

Lu Chen raised his wrist. It was two forty in the morning and he would be leaving get off work in twenty minutes.

He breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he could spend the night safely. He walked towards the No. 3 mine. The No. 3 mine was working overtime tonight. The lights were bright inside the mine. Lin Xianghong and He Dan were guarding the mouth of the shaft.

"How many people are working overtime tonight?" Lu Chen asked.

"Fifteen, Lao Bao will lead the team."

He Dan answered while stamping his feet and rubbing his ears from time to time. It was too cold today.

"Coming up soon." Lin Xianghong was also stamping her feet, her nose watering from the cold.

Time passed by one minute and one second. When it was almost three o'clock, the ground shook. The amplitude was not large. He Dan and Lin Xianghong didn't feel it. They were still stamping their feet. Lu Chen's expression changed and he shouted: "Something happened!"

He grabbed one with one hand and pulled the person away from the mine entrance. Mine No. 3 was newly opened and was not deep. If the gas exploded, it would probably be involved.

Sure enough, as soon as he pulled the man away, he heard a rumbling sound and an extremely unpleasant smell of gas. The lights in the mine went out instantly, and everything became pitch black.

Lu Chen's face turned cold. The gas exploded and the shock wave was very strong. The situation was very bad. The three of them couldn't handle it and had to call the rescue team.

He quickly ran towards the office and answered the third brother's call. The third brother was woken up in his sleep and asked in a bad tone, "Why are you calling me so late at night?"

"There's a gas explosion and there's a landslide. Hurry up and report to the higher authorities to send a rescue team!" Lu Chen said in an urgent tone. The faster the rescue, the smaller the casualties.

The third brother was so frightened that all his sleepiness disappeared, and he woke up instantly, "It exploded? Is it serious?"

"It's very serious. Fifteen people are buried underneath. Call the rescue team quickly. Third brother, don't hesitate. We can't hide such a big thing. The fewer casualties, the smaller the losses!" Lu Chen roared into the microphone, fifteen points

It is impossible to conceal human life, and delaying it will only increase casualties.

"It might be a small landslide and they can climb up on their own. This has happened before."

The third brother was still hesitating. The report meant that the business would be suspended for rectification, and the losses would be too great. Besides, he didn't see the scene, so he didn't know if Lu Chen was exaggerating the facts.

"I am coming now!"

The third brother hung up the phone and hurried over, but nearly an hour had passed. Lu Chen and the others were still guarding the mine, but there was nothing they could do. It was pitch black below and the road was blocked. They could only rely on equipment and instruments for rescue.

"If you can't get in, you have to find the rescue team. If you don't ask me to find it!"

Lu Chen looked at his third brother coldly. He was the one who sent these fifteen people down the well. He couldn't just watch them die.

"Why are you so anxious? I didn't say I wouldn't help you!"

The third brother was also furious. When he saw this scene, his heart felt cold and his intestines turned green. If he had known it, he would have listened to Lu Chen and not arranged for people to work overtime.

Damn it!

No wonder his eyelids have been twitching lately. He needs to find a demi-immortal to get rid of the evil!

The rescue team came after all, and the third brother didn't have the courage to hide it, but the situation was not good. The No. 3 mine was blocked too deep. If it exploded, it would probably cause a second landslide. The rescue team was helpless for a while.

We can only hold a meeting to discuss solutions.
