Chapter 62: Uncle Lu's Clerk Position

What country people value most is food. Every family keeps it tightly closed. Even putting it in a cabinet is not secure enough, and a small lock is required!

The thought of someone coming to my house as a guest and taking things from my home on their own initiative makes my blood pressure go up.

Moreover, according to Li Yucai, he had just been kind enough to let Lu Zhaodi stay overnight, but she dared to do this. It was truly despicable.

"No... no, I just want you and grandpa to have a hot meal." In order to show off her skills, Lu Zhaodi didn't sleep all night.

Li Yucai didn't care what excuses she had and said, "Stay away from me from now on."

The Lu family mother and daughter were still making trouble. The village chief understood and looked a little embarrassed. How could such a person come from their village? She rushed to marry someone, but when the other person didn't want her, she still went up to him and pestered him.

Li Yucai said, "If you still object, then the police station can testify for me." He had already made up his mind. If Lu Zhaodi persisted and insisted that they had an affair, he would rather take her to the hospital for a checkup at his own expense.

Li Yucai's falling out was not within the plan of Lu Zhaodi and her daughter, and they were completely shocked.

The village chief had no choice but to let Li Yucai leave first.

When Lu Zhaodi saw Li Yucai's dark face, she realized that he was really angry and said, "Yucai?" She felt a little uneasy.

Li Yucai didn't even turn his head, just got on his bike and left.

Only the mother and daughter were left to face the laughter of the crowd and the scolding of the village chief, and their faces were red when they left.

At this moment, Fu Qinhui came over and asked, "Is Lu Xiang done with her work?"

Fu Qinhui is more handsome than Li Yucai. He is usually serious, but he has broad shoulders.

The aunts around hadn't left yet. Seeing Fu Qinhui, they asked, "Are you here to pick up Lu Xiang?"

Fu Qinhui nodded.

When Lu Xiang saw Fu Qinhui, she remembered that he was not at work today, so she delivered the ducks to the supply and marketing cooperative and rode back on her bike.

Lu Xiang already knew Fu Qinhui was good-looking, but she was still a little distracted when she saw him. He was really handsome with his sharp eyebrows and bright eyes.

Seeing that Lu Zhaodi had suffered a great loss, he was very happy. He looked at Fu Qinhui with a smile and said, "I have finished my work. Let's go."

Fu Qinhui had his arm held by Lu Xiang. Fu Qinhui was a little uncomfortable with such intimacy and wanted to take his arm out, but Lu Xiang held it tightly.

Fu Qinhui coughed dryly, and then the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

The aunts around joked, "The couple has a really good relationship. They even visit each other in the same village."

This was said particularly loudly.

Lu Zhaodi and her daughter hadn't gone far yet. Looking back at Fu Qinhui and Lu Xiang together, he seemed deeply moved by the scene and walked home quickly with his head lowered.

In the past, it was Lu Zhaodi who was crying, and now Aunt Lu also wants to cry. Why did she push such a good in-law to Lu Xiang for no reason?

I knew it was unreliable for my daughter to fall in love with a young man from the county town. Lu Zhaodi thought that since she had such a good ability to get into his house, the two of them must be deeply in love. She only found out the truth today.

She was so embarrassed!

That wasn't the end of it. The county called that same day, implying they were urging the village head to curb this uncivilized behavior.

The leader also said on the phone, "Your village has produced an outstanding individual who has shown great humanity in handling this domestic violence case. The higher-ups are paying close attention to you. Don't let one bad apple spoil the whole bunch."

Who is Li Yucai? Everyone in the county knows him, and his grandfather is a man of great means. Why would you mess with him?

The village chief nodded in agreement, but he was furious. He immediately dismissed Uncle Lu from his clerk position and said, "You will also have to work in the fields with me from now on."

Uncle Lu was dumbfounded. He hadn't worked in the fields properly for many years, and it was difficult for him to do farm work now.

There were pleas and treats, but the village chief remained unmoved and said, "I told you not to mess around, but you wouldn't listen."

Uncle Lu knew that the village chief was talking about his wife and daughter, and said angrily, "That was just their own mess. I didn't know anything about it."

The village chief said, "You can't even manage your own family, so how can you manage the village? Go back and tell your women and children that starting tomorrow, every day after work at noon, they must go to the threshing ground to reflect on their mistakes. Deeply acknowledge your mistakes."

The threshing ground is the most crowded at noon. If you go there to reflect on yourself, you will lose face for the rest of your life.

The village chief was furious. "Look at what they did. I'm embarrassed to talk about it." Even the county leaders were alarmed, and they were still trying to make a big deal out of it. What a dream!

Uncle Lu had been a respectable man for so many years, and it was humiliating enough to be stripped of his position in middle age. He also had to go out and reflect on his actions. Thinking about how he would feel when everyone pointed fingers at him, he almost didn't want to live anymore.

I wanted to kneel down before the village chief. The village chief said, "Even if you don't want to review it, there is a way."

Uncle Lu's eyes lit up, and before he knew what to say, he nodded repeatedly: "I do."

The village chief said, "I have a new recipe for burning dung. You and your wife will collect dung from the whole village."

Uncle Lu's face paled. He prided himself on being respectable, even hiring people to clean his toilet. Now he was asked to clean out the entire village's feces and collect it. The thought of the smell was unbearable. "Is there anything else?"

The village chief raised his eyebrows and said, "This is not the time to bargain with you."

Uncle Lu had no choice but to agree to this matter. As soon as he returned home and saw Lu Zhaodi cooking at the stove, he got angry and slapped her hard in the face: "The lady's body is the girl's life!"

Lu Zhaodi was caught off guard and her earring fell off. Blood started to flow from her ear and she burst into tears.

Aunt Lu quickly stepped forward to stop him: "What are you doing?"

Uncle Lu was furious: "How do you take care of your daughter? Look at the daughter you raised, she is such a slut!"

Uncle Lu was so angry that he couldn't control himself and beat his wife and daughter. Not only did he lose his job in the county, he even lost his job as a clerk in the village. Now he was assigned such a dirty job.

It's all their fault for causing trouble every day. It wasn't embarrassing enough before, and now they're even worse.

…

Lu Xiang and Fu Qinhui returned home, and Fu Qinhui seemed to have something to say to him.

Lu Xiang followed him into the house. The light in the house was a little dim during the day, so the two of them didn't turn on the lights and stayed in the dark of the room.

Fu Qinhui said, "Lu Zhaodi wants to go to the city and live a good life, right?"

"Yeah." Lu Xiang nodded. Needless to say, she even looked down on the rich second generation in the village like Fu Qinhui, and she only wanted to climb up the social ladder.

"What about you?" Fu Qinhui looked at Lu Xiang. For a long time, the two of them had never talked about this issue.

Lu Xiang is prettier than Lu Zhaodi, can cook, and is organized and goal-oriented. Would such a person be willing to stay in the village for the rest of her life?

Although they were married, it was in name only.

Maybe Lu Xiang already had other plans.

Lu Xiang was stunned by his question. She couldn't answer him for a moment. Fu Qinhui said coldly, "I understand," and then left.

Lu Xiang called out to him, "Hey."

That night, Fu Qinhui slept on the floor. Lu Xiang asked him to come up and sleep. Fu Qinhui said, "Don't challenge a man's self-control."

Lu Xiang was stunned, but did not insist. It was her first time sleeping in such a spacious bed, and she couldn't sleep that night.
