He's a young man from the village, and he usually gets along very well with Jiang Muxuan and his friends.
Jiang Gou Dan shuddered, afraid of hearing bad news about his eldest son. He wanted to go over, but his legs were too weak to move.
Jiang Yuyan quickly asked the young man who had run over, "Excuse me, is the 'Brother Xuan' you mentioned Jiang Muxuan? What happened to him?"
Jiang Muxuan, the original owner's older brother.
Jiang's mother gave birth to three sons: Mu Xuan, Mu Yi, and Mu Ren. The youngest was a daughter, who was the original owner of this body.
However, according to the plot that Jiang Yuyan knows, Jiang Muxuan went to work in the coal mine because he wanted to make money, disregarding the danger. He had an accident a few days ago, broke his leg, and is now lying in the hospital waiting for money to save his life.
The young man was stunned when he saw Jiang Yuyan, and nodded subconsciously when he heard her question.
"Yes, Uncle, Brother Xuan is in trouble. The mine foreman went to the hospital and made a scene, saying that Brother Xuan deliberately caused the accident in the mine, which led to this incident. He wants Brother Xuan to pay compensation, or he will have the police arrest him."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuyan knew that the foreman was trying to shirk responsibility and pin the entire blame on Jiang Wenxuan.
Mr. and Mrs. Jiang were so flustered that they almost fell over, but fortunately Jiang Yuyan caught them in time and frowned.
"Captain, I've bought this house. I'll pay right now. Dad, you go with the captain to collect the paperwork, and while you're at it, get a few people to tidy up the house."
Father Jiang nodded hurriedly, his mind racing, and did whatever he was told.
"You and your mother—"
"My mother and I will go to the hospital to check on things first. If there's anything wrong, I'll handle it."
"Dad, you have a big task ahead of you. Whether we can have a room to stay in tonight depends on you."
Mr. Jiang nodded earnestly, watching their backs as they left, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
...
Arriving at the town hospital,
Jiang Yuyan didn't need to look for anything; she immediately spotted a crowd gathered outside a ward on the first floor, making a noisy and excited commotion.
"...Jiang Muxuan, stop pretending to be dead. You've caused so many people to lose their lives and so many families to be torn apart for money. Even if you give up your life, it won't be enough to pay for it."
A fat, short, bald man with a large head and big ears cursed fiercely, while several dark-skinned young men beside him nodded in agreement.
The third brother, Jiang Wenren, was furious and blocked them from entering the ward.
"You're talking nonsense. If my older brother had done this, why would he have broken both legs and be lying in a hospital bed unable to get up?"
The bald man scoffed, "This is just a ruse on his part. Get out of the way. We're willing to call the police, what do you think we're afraid of?"
As he spoke, he tried to urge everyone to force their way in, but was pushed away by Jiang's mother.
"Get out of here, all of you! My son's leg is broken, and you still won't leave him alone?"
The bald man staggered as he was pushed, feeling irritated. He opened his mouth as if to be slapped, but met a pair of cold eyes that startled him.
Jiang Yuyan ignored him and checked that her mother was unharmed and that her third brother was alright before turning to face a group of menacing family members who were coming to attack her.
Historically, coal mine accidents have always been attributed to the mine site's failure to follow rules and management errors.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for so many coal mine shafts to collapse due to human intervention alone.
She looked at the bald man whose eyes were darting around, "This foreman probably knows what's going on here."
Is he so eager to pin everything on my older brother because he's planning to run away with the money?
All the victims' families immediately looked at the bald man with suspicion. Seeing his sweaty and guilty appearance, they understood everything.
"Fine, you man-eating demons, give me back my husband's life!"
A disheveled woman angrily lunged at the bald man and grabbed his neck tightly. She was so strong that she lost her mind in her rage, and almost no one could hold her back.
Jiang Yuyan protected her mother, preventing her from being caught in the crowd.
"The police are here!"
The crowd dispersed instantly, leaving only the bald foreman, whose eyes were blackened, neck was red and purple, and who had almost lost his life.
When he saw the police arrive, he struggled to break free from the woman, grabbed her hair fiercely, and was about to slam her head against the wall.
Jiang Yuyan frowned and kicked the bald man between his legs, instantly making him scream like a pig being slaughtered. He let go of his crotch, curled up like a shrimp, and howled in pain.
"Stop! What's going on here?" the police officer asked.
Jiang Yuyan certainly wouldn't give the bald man a chance. "Officer, this man is the foreman of a coal mine. Recently, there was an accident at the coal mine, and he wants to shirk responsibility and run away with the money."
The police officers immediately became serious, arrested the bald man who couldn't stand up, and also made other victims' family members go to give statements, including Jiang Yuyan's family.
Jiang Yuyan, unaware of the situation, decided to stay and look after her elder brother, as he couldn't be left unattended.
Before leaving, she told Jiang's mother, "Just tell the truth. The police will investigate and clear my brother's name."
Turning to enter the ward, Jiang Yuyan was not unaware of her third brother's curious and questioning gaze, but she did not say anything.
In the ward, Jiang Muxuan was still unconscious, his legs were bandaged, but it was only a simple treatment.
The only way to truly cure his leg is to try going to a hospital in a big city.
Jiang Yuyan looked at Jiang Muxuan, who was so thin he was practically skin and bones but still maintained his refined image, and felt a mix of emotions.
In the novel, the original owner's older brother was admitted to university in the first year the college entrance examination was reinstated.
However, Grandma Jiang and the others disagreed with paying for his schooling, saying that no matter how much he studied, it would be useless, as he would still have to come back to work in the fields.
Jiang Muxuan was unwilling to give up and wanted to take a chance to earn money to study and get a good job.
He never imagined that all the money he earned would be stolen by his beloved younger sister, Jiang Yue, who would run off alone to find her biological family without saying a word.
She left only a note saying that she was going to find her biological parents, and that if it weren't for them, she wouldn't be suffering so much.
Jiang Muxuan was angry, but there was nothing he could do.
Having lost all his savings, he started working desperately again. However, due to his mental confusion, he failed to notice the coal mine collapse in time and had his leg broken.
Jiang Yuyan saw that his hands were clenched so tightly they were white, but his eyes remained closed, so she knew he had been awake for a while.
After a moment of silence, she sat down and spoke softly, as if talking to herself.
"Big brother, I am your biological sister, my name is Jiang Yuyan. I saw Lin Yue—that is, the former Jiang Yue. She went over there, and I had a falling out with her."
Jiang Muxuan: "..."
"She took a dislike to me from the moment she arrived and tried to scheme with Lin's mother to kick me out. How could someone as smart as me let them succeed?"
"Hehe, I used a trick to make them pay me five hundred yuan, and I also secretly took two or three hundred yuan from Lin Yue's pocket. I don't think that money belonged to her—"
As she was speaking enthusiastically, she saw Jiang Muxuan on the hospital bed open his eyes and look at her.
His voice was hoarse, "You really took her two or three hundred yuan?"
