Chapter 53: Chapter 53: Accident

Jiang Xueluo saw Yiyi coming over, and couldn’t help but ask.

"Why didn’t you come over this morning?"

Yiyi heard this and said with a smile, "I went out to buy books this morning, bought the ones you mentioned to me earlier." As she spoke, she took out the books.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Xueluo’s eyes showed a hint of laughter, and he nodded and said, "Not bad, you’ve got them all, take some time each night to carefully look through these books, they will be very helpful for your language studies." While speaking, he had already opened the textbook, and continued, "Alright, let’s continue with the first-year high school textbook today, and aim to finish it in the next couple of days."

When reading and doing exercises, time passes especially quickly; by the time Yiyi stopped, she realized it was already dinner time. "Yiyi, have dinner before you go back."

Old Mrs. Jiang warmly invited, looking at Yiyi with loving eyes. The house was rarely this lively, and her heart was just filled with joy, all of which was brought by Yiyi. Originally, her daughter-in-law wanted to call her grandson home, but considering Yiyi and Xueluo were the same age and they could study together, she decided to leave the grandson there.

Upon hearing Old Mrs. Jiang’s words, Yiyi quickly waved her hands and said, "No need, Grandma Jiang, mom has definitely already made dinner."

Upon hearing Yiyi’s words, Old Mrs. Jiang did not insist further.

When Yiyi got home, Ding Yuejun had indeed already prepared dinner, "Yiyi, quickly go wash your hands, we can have dinner shortly."

"Okay."

Dinner was simple, just a plate of braised pork and a bowl of cabbage soup, but even so, Yiyi and the others ate very happily.

"Mom, I want to go find one of my classmates in town tomorrow."

"Which classmate?"

Ding Yuejun looked puzzled, knowing that Yiyi had never mentioned her school matters before, and she had no knowledge of her daughter’s classmates.

"Fei Erya, she’s my desk mate."

Yiyi instantly thought of the name, feeling a heavy heart.

Fei Erya was her desk mate and also the top student in the class, always ranking at the top. She remembered Fei Erya indeed got into university in her past life, and it was Shangjing University, but an accident happened before she could enroll. Thinking of that quiet, kind desk mate, Yiyi really wanted to do something to change her fate.

Originally, Yiyi hadn’t thought of her desk mate, but today she suddenly mentioned her, so she decided that once she returned from Luwei Village, she really had to go and talk to her.

"Alright, after you see your classmate, come home quickly to eat."

"Hmm."

Yiyi nodded with a smile, then hurried off to Luwei Village.

She planned to find an opportunity to approach Mr. Lu today. If she could get some information from him, that would be great; if not, she could inquire with other elders in the village. Perhaps by asking around, she might find some clues.

Before leaving yesterday, she had vaguely asked Grandma Li about the specifics of Lu Yaocang’s accident, but unfortunately, Grandma Li didn’t know, so she thought of continuing to Luwei Village.

However, upon reaching Luwei Village, Yiyi felt something was off. People were gathered in threes and twos, talking, their faces showing regretful expressions, some looking indifferent, but most with a feeling of regret and sighing, unable to resist sighing.

"Isn’t this Yiyi? You’re back home."

Others gradually heard about Mo Guowei and Ding Yuejun’s divorce, knew that Yiyi followed her mother away and was surprised she had returned.

Upon hearing this, Yiyi directly waved her hand and said, "I’m not going home, just came to see my little grandpa and grandma." At this point, Yiyi smoothly asked, "Aunt Zhu, what are you gathered here talking about?"

"Oh, Mr. Lu fell into the river and drowned this morning. He was such a good person, how did he accidentally slip into the river?"

"What..."

Upon hearing this, Yiyi instinctively didn’t believe it. She had seen Mr. Lu yesterday, who looked fine and spirited, even scolding Mo Yougen with great energy, how could he be dead after just one night? "How is it possible..."

"Yes, we find it hard to believe too, but life is unpredictable, Mr. Lu has passed on regardless."

"Sigh... The Lu Family’s luck might not be good, ten years ago, Mr. Lu’s eldest son met with an accident and fell off a cliff, and now Mr. Lu accidentally fell into the water, both father and son encountered accidents."

The speaker was an elderly man with gray-white beard, with a look of pity, shaking his head and feeling deeply sympathetic towards the Lu Family.

And upon hearing this, Yiyi couldn’t help but ask, "Mr. Lu’s eldest son fell from a cliff?"

The old man was a village elder, Yiyi felt instinctively familiar, but really didn’t know who he was.

Seeing Yiyi ask, the old man couldn’t help but say, "You’re the young daughter of Mo Guowei’s family, right? You probably wouldn’t know Yao Chang, but he was truly a good young man, just a pity, if only he hadn’t gone to Songshan, maybe the accident wouldn’t have happened."

"Mr. Lu’s eldest son had an accident at Songshan?"

"Yes, many years have passed, I guess many have forgotten, but I remember vividly, it was one autumn afternoon, Yao Chang planned to pick some fruits on the mountain, but he never returned." Saying this, the old man couldn’t help but shake his head.

Upon hearing this, Yiyi quickly asked, "I thought Songshan didn’t have any cliffs?"

"Don’t be fooled by Songshan not appearing steep, actually on the western side of Songshan there’s a cliff, that’s where Yao Chang had his accident, it’s strange, Yao Chang clearly knew there was a cliff, why did he still go there, there’s no fruit there at all."

Upon hearing this, Yiyi’s eyes flashed.

Turns out even this elder found it suspicious, indicating there were indeed some oddities about Lu Yaocang’s incident, and Mo Yougen might have done something in between.

But now she was more interested in finding out what happened to Mr. Lu, so Yiyi didn’t stay and went directly to Mr. Lu’s house.

"Oh, Yiyi, your little grandpa’s house is not this way."

Aunt Zhu watched Yiyi’s figure moving away, reacting only after shouting, but Yiyi had already gone far.

On the other side, when Yiyi arrived at Mr. Lu’s house, she heard faint sobbing sounds, and even saw Mo Yougen kneeling there, full of sorrow, muttering something under his breath.

People around saw Mo Yougen like this and couldn’t help but comfort him, saying, "Yougen, please accept my condolences, all these years you’ve been like a son to Mr. Lu, we all know how deep your relationship was, so don’t be too sad."

"Uncle, I just feel heartbroken, someone you just saw yesterday, how can they suddenly be gone."
