nXie Zhou was very familiar with the situation below the mine. He quickly determined the location where the miners were trapped.

n

nThe more than twenty people who were trapped in a confined space were already dizzy because of insufficient oxygen.

n

nThey did not know how long they had been trapped in here. By this time, no one was talking anymore. They just sat there silently.

n

nSuddenly, Xiao Kai sat up aggressively.

n

n“Brother Yang, Brother Gang Zi, you… Did you hear anything?”

n

nHe sounded uncertain but hopeful.

n

nOld Yang and the rest also sat up straight to listen to the commotion.

n

n“There’s no sound. Xiao Kai, are you hallucinating?”

n

n“Hey, Xiao Kai, are you afraid? To be honest, I’m also a little afraid!”

n

nThey were afraid that no one would come to rescue them. They were afraid that they would be trapped here forever. They were afraid that they would die here!

n

nXiao Kai’s expression fell. “Maybe I’m hallucinating!”

n

nAs soon as he finished speaking, he heard a sound again.

n

n“Is… Is this still an illusion?”

n

n“It’s not an illusion, it’s not an illusion. There’s really a sound. Someone has come to rescue us!”

n

nThe group of people became agitated and almost cried while hugging their heads.

n

n…

n

nThe news of the collapse of the Shanbai coal mine was very popular on television.

n

nNews on whether the coal mine would close down, the status of the coal mine workers’ lives and so on could be seen on the television as soon as it was turned on.

n

nIn a large courtyard in the capital.

n

nLin Changxuan’s car was parked at the entrance. He got out of the car and opened the door to the back seat. A beautiful woman, and two children got out of the car.

n

nThis woman was in her thirties. She wore a white knee-length dress and a pair of high heels. She had light makeup on and her hair was tied up. She had a smile on her face. Time seemed to have not left many marks on her body. She looked at Lin Changxuan with much affection.

n

nThe two children were about 13 or 14-year-old. The boy, Lin Yuzhan, was wearing a smart-looking suit and had a serious expression. He even held a book in his hand. The girl, Lin Yuzhen, was wearing a tutu skirt and small leather shoes. Her shoulder-length hair was scattered behind her shoulders. Although she was still young, it was obvious how beautiful she would be when she grew up.

n

nLin Changxuan held the woman’s hand and comforted her, “Jinwen, it’s been so many years. You’re still the same as when we first met. Don’t be nervous. We’re just here to eat. Our parents are very good people. They won’t make things difficult for you!”

n

nZhao Jinwen leaned on Lin Changxuan’s shoulder and smiled lightly. “I’ve not seen much of life. I was with my cousin when I suddenly saw him in person. I was shocked.”

n

n“Father looks strict, but that’s when he’s outside. He’s very warm-hearted to the family members. Don’t be nervous!”

n

n“Yes, I know!”

n

nZhao Jinwen brought the two children and followed her husband into her in-laws’ house.

n

nThe courtyard was huge and was built very elegantly. There was even an empty space in the courtyard where vegetables were growing.

n

nWhen Zhao Jinwen saw the woman in the vegetable field, she frowned.

n

nLin Yuzhan walked in front of the woman and shouted, “Hello, Grandma!”

n

n“Hey, Xiao Zhan is here. Hurry, look at what Grandma found!”

n

nThe woman looked at Lin Yuzhan. There was a smile on her wrinkled face. She even held a bug in her hand that was stained with soil.

n

nZhao Jinwen instinctively wanted to tell her son to stay away from her. She felt extremely disgusted.

n

nHer mother-in-law was a villager. Even after living such a good life for so many years, she still could not change the bad habits of a villager. She always made herself dirty. Zhao Jinwen looked down on her.
