Little Xu's heart skipped a beat. Jiang Lu was Zhuang Zhixi's neighbor, and she was supposedly on good terms with Zhuang Zhixi's wife. He was instantly terrified, "N-n-neighbor?"
"Bai Fendou. Bai Fendou's father fell from a building."
"Damn!" Little Xu patted his chest in relief. As long as it wasn't Jiang Lu.

Sister Cui, known as the factory's number one gossip, was quite well-informed. She said, "What else could it be? I heard it's because of Wang Xiangxiu. That old man Bai, he may be old, but his thoughts are quite wild. He's got his eye on the pot while still eating from the bowl. You wouldn't believe it, he…"
The news from the hospital yesterday couldn't be kept under wraps. There were too many onlookers at the scene. It wasn't just Sister Cui who heard about it; many people in the machinery factory had caught wind of it. By mid-morning, the rumor was already buzzing.
