Later, word got around that Lai San had broken a leg. The doctor said it would never fully heal. He wanted to call the police, but he didn't even know who did it. Still, many in the village suspected He Lang. After all, the only family Lai San had feuded with recently was his, and Lai San's leg broke right after He Lang came back.
But was there any proof? Who had seen anything?
If anything, the incident served as a stark warning to everyone. Whoever did it was ruthless.
Lately, Xue Yue found herself sleeping more and more, and she felt sluggish at work.
She would come home from work in the evening, eat dinner, and fall asleep almost immediately.
On several occasions, He Lang had come home in high spirits, hoping for some intimacy, but by the time he finished his bath, Xue Yue would already be sound asleep.
He Lang just assumed she was exhausted from work and suggested she take a few days off to rest at home.
But Xue Yue felt fine and saw no reason to take time off.
