She has compassion, but not much.

"Name."

Luo Yu stared intently at the young widow, clearly asking her a question.

But the young widow had been so busy coaxing the baby since she came out that she didn't look up and therefore didn't see Luo Yu's gaze.

Luo Yu sighed helplessly, "I'm asking you."

The young widow was nudged on the arm by the man beside her. She looked up and saw Luo Yu's gaze.

"Zhou Daya".

Luo Yu took out her notebook and wrote down, "Age."

"twenty one."

What is your relationship with this man?

This time, Zhou Daya remained silent and lowered her head again.

The man looked up at Luo Yu, shocked by her appearance, but Xi Beizhan, who was standing next to him, kicked him and said, "What are you staring at? If you look again, I'll gouge your eyes out."

The man hurriedly lowered his head, trying to guess the relationship between Xi Beizhan and Luo Yu.

The windows were tightly closed when the group was talking in the courtyard, and the man was frightened, so he naturally didn't hear them talking and didn't know that Xi Beizhan and Luo Yu were a couple.

Hearing the pleasant voice, Zhou Daya looked up and glanced at it. In just one glance, her eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

Why did she set her sights on Liu Chunhua's son across the street? Firstly, it was to find a new partner for herself and help her find a match. Secondly, Liu Chunhua's son was good-looking, with a handsome face and a charming smile.

His looks were exactly what Zhou Daya wanted, which is why she set her sights on him and was willing to threaten him to get her hands on him.

As for the men around her, she looked down on them. They were as strong as bears and already had families. It was fine to give them some benefits and money to spend, but marrying them was absolutely out of the question.

The two of them are each getting what they want, so she won't give her heart away.

Therefore, as soon as Zhou Daya saw Xi Beizhan's appearance, her eyes popped out, and she stared at him so intently that she almost drooled.

Xi Beizhan was very perceptive; he knew it when Zhou Daya stared at him. He gave her a cold glance and then turned to look at Luo Yu.

The moment she looked at Luo Yu, it was as if ice and snow had met the spring breeze, melting instantly, and wrinkles appeared on her face with a smile.

Zhou Daya's eyes narrowed, and she looked at Luo Yu with a jealous expression.

Luo Yu was staring at Zhou Daya, waiting for her answer, but the other woman ignored her for a long time and then looked at her with that same gaze, leaving Luo Yu somewhat bewildered.

Why are you looking at me? Tell me, what's your relationship?

Luo Yu's attitude was bad, and Zhou Daya, who already disliked Luo Yu, became even more silent.

Luo Yu chuckled, "Alright, you don't need to say anything. Two grown men and women locked in a room and not coming out when I knock on the door, they must be up to no good. I'll just write that you two are having an affair in the room, so I don't have to waste my breath."

Zhou Daya and the man panicked when they heard this. This wouldn't do! If they really wrote it down, they'd be dragged out and made to eat peanuts!

"Wait, he's my cousin."

Aunt Liu laughed, "Cousin? Why didn't you say so earlier? Besides, if he's really my cousin, what's there to hide? What's wrong with talking about a proper family relationship? Who are you trying to fool?"

Zhou Daya became anxious, "He really is my cousin, but a distant relative, beyond the fifth degree of kinship."

Aunt Liu laughed again, "You can get married once you're beyond the fifth degree of mourning. The fact that you two stay in the same house without coming out only confirms that your relationship isn't innocent."

Zhou Daya was stunned for a moment, then immediately regretted it.

Why did she speak so quickly? Why didn't she think it through before saying it? Now she's given them something to use against her!

Zhou Daya was extremely anxious and couldn't help but look at the man beside her.

What can a man do? He's helpless!

Luo Yu wrote down Zhou Daya's words in her notebook, then looked at the man and asked, "What's your name? Which company do you work for?"

The man sighed and resignedly said, "Zhang Qiang, a worker at Wangying Mine, lives in the room in front."

Upon hearing that it wasn't from Wulong Mine, Luo Yu, Aunt Liu, and Aunt Zhao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Aunt Liu gave Luo Yu a wink, and Luo Yu nodded and turned to leave.

Pushing the bicycle out of the yard, Luo Yu rode it to Wangying Mine.

Wangying Mine was far away and the road was difficult to travel. It took Luo Yu more than half an hour to finally reach Wangying Mine.

After greeting the gatekeeper and showing her work permit to the security department, Luo Yu waited in the shade outside the gate of Wangying Mine.

The women's federation staff from Wangying Mine arrived quickly. Luo Yu glanced up and recognized them.

"Oh dear, how could I trouble Sister Li to come out and pick me up? Sister Li, are you not busy today?"

Sister Li smiled and spoke to the gatekeeper first to confirm Luo Yu's identity before being allowed to enter Wangying Mine.

Sister Li warmly held Luo Yu's hand, "You haven't been here for a while. I heard you went to the provincial capital for training? Has your training finished?"

"I just got back last week and have been working for a few days now. Thank you for thinking of me, Sister Li."

Sister Li glared at Luo Yu and said, "What are you saying? I treat you like my own sister. Besides, we're all in the same system, so it wouldn't be right not to help each other."

Besides, we all know you went to the provincial capital for training, and we also know you'll be promoted sooner or later. We'll need your help in the future.

By the way, I heard Aunt Zhang is retiring? Doesn't that mean your Women's Federation needs to bring in a couple of new members?

Luo Yu nodded, "That's right, I'll be retiring at the end of this year. It's certain that new people will come, but I don't know how many. I estimate there will be quite a few, after all, Aunt Liu, Aunt Zhao and Aunt Hu are not young anymore, and they should all retire in the next two years. After they retire, I will be the only old person left in our office, and I won't be able to manage them all."

As you know, Director Xu has been highly valued by the higher-ups in recent years, and he'll leave sooner or later. Who knows what will happen to this mess?

Sister Li nodded without any surprise. "I've heard about the Women's Federation at your mine. By the way, it seems my niece was assigned to your mine this time. I wonder if she'll be able to get in."

Luo Yu knew it might be difficult; the person who would replace Aunt Zhang was probably sent down from above and was experienced.

But Luo Yu dared not speak recklessly; what if it were true? Nobody knows for sure.

As they talked, they arrived at the Women's Federation office of Wangying Mine. They had been there several times before, all for matchmaking events. Many of the aunties and older women in the office had found their partners through these events, and they had always had a good impression of Luo Yu.

"Oh, Xiao Luo is here! What a rare guest!"

"Xiao Luo, come drink some water!"

"Xiao Luo, sit here. You can get sunlight here. It's almost time to get off work, and the sun is about to set. This is the only place where you can get sunlight."

"Yeah, what brings Xiao Luo to our mine today?"

Luo Yu smiled, took the water and sipped it, fully accepting the enthusiasm of the crowd. She even sat down in the seat offered to her without any hesitation, showing no politeness whatsoever.

But it was precisely because of Luo Yu's "I'm home" attitude that the women from the Wangying Mine Women's Federation were very happy, feeling that Luo Yu didn't treat them as outsiders and was someone they could get along with.

Luo Yu was also very sweet-talking. She asked everyone in the room questions as soon as she opened her mouth. She not only accurately told them their surnames, but also told them about their families. It was clear how hard Luo Yu usually worked.
