Upon hearing that it was another white lotus flower, Aunt Zhao immediately showed displeasure.

She had always disliked Mingzhu's mother the most, and now that she was finally gone, another one had appeared. It would be strange if she could still laugh.

Except for Bai Lianhua herself, no woman likes this kind of woman. And since everyone in the room is a woman, everyone's impression of this young widow plummeted to the edge of a cliff. They were just waiting to see with their own eyes to confirm Liu Chunhua's words before they fell off the cliff.

Luo Yu felt that Liu Chunhua hadn't finished speaking, so she asked, "Aunt Liu, you've been in the city for a while now, haven't you? Logically speaking, that woman's behavior isn't new. Why are you coming to see us now? Has something happened in between?"

Liu Chunhua slapped her thigh again and looked at Luo Yu with admiration. "This comrade really hit the nail on the head. If she hadn't gone too far, I wouldn't have said anything. I could have just stayed away. But this young widow actually came to my house yesterday while I was visiting my neighbor and hugged my son, asking him to marry her."

"What's my son capable of? He said back then he wouldn't marry her, but this young widow is really vicious. She said if my son didn't agree to marry her, she would threaten to rape him."

Liu Chunhua spoke through gritted teeth, her eyes filled with hatred.

Everyone was stunned after hearing this.

How can there still be people like this these days? They threaten to kill someone just because they don't agree to marry them?

Rape of women is no small matter; it's not something you can just casually talk about.

What's the difference between falsely accusing someone of rape and actually killing them?

Luo Yu stared blankly, muttering, "Now I finally know what a Black Widow is like!"

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but swallow hard and instinctively reached for water to drink, trying to suppress their astonishment.

Luo Yu hurriedly took a big gulp of tea and asked Liu Chunhua, "Logically speaking, if you weren't home, and she really started making a fuss, this matter might actually have worked out. How did you two resolve it last night? Did your son get arrested by the police?"

Liu Chunhua said angrily, "How could that be? I heard something was wrong at my house on the way. My son was screaming for help. I was terrified and rushed back."

Oh, and I also got my neighbors involved; they know about it too.

Luo Yu felt a sense of relief.

Fortunately, no one was hurt. As long as the police haven't intervened, things will be easier to handle. Otherwise, it would have had a huge impact on their mine.

An employee was taken to the police station. Although he was fine in the end, it would be bad for the mine's reputation if word got out. If people misunderstood and couldn't explain it, things would get complicated.

"So what was the situation between your son and that young widow when you entered the house? Was the young widow undressed?"

Liu Chunhua curled her lip, her eyes full of disdain, "That's right, they were only wearing a vest, and if we hadn't arrived in time, they would have taken off their pants too."

My son was hiding in the corner with his eyes closed and covered by a blanket, so he didn't see anything.

That little bitch is blocking the doorway; my son can't even run out.

If he ran away, that little bitch would definitely come after him. No matter how strong he was, he would inevitably bump into her. His son was afraid that she would kill him and rape him, so he didn't dare to run away. When she took off her clothes, she quickly shouted for help.

The neighbor I went to lives right next door to us, separated only by a wall. They can hear us talking from our house. My son was certain I could hear him, which is why he called for help.

Luo Yu and the others finally understood and had no more questions. After discussing it, they decided that Aunt Zhang and Aunt Zhao would stay at home so that there would be someone in the department to help if anything happened, while the remaining three would go to the Liu family to handle the matter.

Seeing that Luo Yu and the others were about to leave, Feng Qianqian and Xiao Cheng, having also finished listening to the story, left first with expressions of lingering interest, leaving Luo Yu speechless.

Luo Yu rode his bicycle with Liu Chunhua on the back, and Aunt Liu with Aunt Hu on the back. The four of them arrived at Liu Chunhua's house in less than three minutes.

Luo Yu looked around and saw that it wasn't far from her house, just seven or eight rows away, behind her house.

Luo Yu got out of the car and gestured for Liu Chunhua to open the door.

Liu Chunhua opened the gate and walked in, while Luo Yu and Aunt Liu pushed their bicycles into the yard.

The layout of the courtyard was the same as her house, with three main rooms. There was no gatehouse in the courtyard, so both families must have rented houses from the mine and hadn't built any more.

Luo Yu and the other two entered the west room without incident. Before going in, they glanced at the east room, where the young widow and her two sons lived.

Luo Yu looked up and saw that the room was empty. "Aunt Liu, where's your son? Did he go to work?"

Aunt Liu swept the kang (a heated brick bed) and gestured for them to sit down. She nodded and said, "I have to go to work. I can't skip work because of this. My son said that the mine is very busy lately. They say that the south side needs coal and is carrying out some kind of large-scale production. They need it urgently, and the mine is working like crazy. He can't take leave at this time and cause trouble for the mine."

Luo Yu knew about this, but she didn't go down the mine, and her work was unrelated to production. She only knew that such a thing happened, but she didn't know how busy they were.

Luo Yu nodded, took the water Liu Chunhua poured and held it in her hands. She gestured with her chin toward the east room and whispered, "Does Aunt Liu know what's going on in that room?"

Aunt Liu glanced at the east room, and seeing no movement, closed the door. She said disdainfully, "She's only been a widow for two or three months. My son mentioned it to me when he came home, saying that the older brother across the hall was quite good to her. I thought the couple was a good one, but it turns out they're like this?"

Luo Yu turned around and glanced at Aunt Liu and Aunt Hu.

She was away from the mine for two or three months and didn't know that someone had died there.

After thinking for a moment, Aunt Hu nodded slightly to Luo Yu.

Luo Yu knew that this matter was probably true.

Luo Yu frowned slightly.

No wonder this young widow could still live in the house at the mine after losing her husband; it turns out her husband died there.

Working underground nowadays is really dangerous. There are few machines, and everything is done by manpower. Workers lack safety awareness, and preventive measures are inadequate. It is simply incomparable to the semi-mechanized systems of later generations.

Even though accidents still happen in major coal mines in later generations, these things are unavoidable. Luo Yu wanted to help but didn't know where to start because she didn't understand underground work and didn't have the ability to build machines suitable for underground use.

"Her two sons are four years old and just turned one. They are quite good-looking and cute. The older one can even greet people. Every time he sees me, he calls me Grandma Liu. To be honest, if this young widow hadn't been so troublesome and had set her sights on my sons, I wouldn't have been unwilling to help her out."

"We're both widows, I understand the hardship. Raising a child alone is not easy, but she shouldn't do this! Isn't she trying to kill my son?"

Liu Chunhua was fine when she mentioned the young widow, but when she brought up the two children, a hint of sympathy appeared on her face.

Luo Yu didn't feel much sympathy. What she was thinking was that the man in the opposite house had only been dead for a short time, and judging from the way the older child looked, the man must have taught him a lot, and the child remembered it all, which was why he was so polite.

She didn't believe that a naive and innocent girl could raise a good child.
