Chapter 11 Wu Xiuyun is an old white lotus

Li Qiulan pulled Zhao Zhijian and was about to throw a tantrum.

Zhao Zhijian slapped Li Qiulan's hand away and cursed, "Call for what? Call for what?"

While cursing, his eyes glanced at Lu Liangchen intentionally or unintentionally, fearing that the cold factory director would be angry.

"Jiang Haitang is an adulterer, so you locked her up in the cowshed to study and educate her! And there's this wild man!" Li Qiulan shouted indignantly.

This time, before Zhao Zhijian could speak, Lu Liangchen spoke.

"Since the Li family wants to make the decision, why not hold a village meeting and clarify the matter."

If Jiang Haitang were taken away like this, her reputation would probably be ruined.

Li Qiulan felt even happier after hearing this.

I knew Jiang Haitang was incompetent, even the men she was with sided with her family.

But everyone else present knew that Lu Liangchen was going to make a big deal out of this and make the Li family completely lose face.

"Comrade leader, there's no need to be like this, right?" Zhao Zhijian still wanted to smooth things over and spoke cautiously.

Although Li Ergou is not a human being, he is from the village after all. He is doing well and the team has face.

"No need?" Lu Liangchen glanced at Zhao Zhijian indifferently.

He retired from the army after being wounded and actually experienced the baptism of fire on the battlefield.

The look in his eyes was terrifying enough, how could Zhao Zhijian withstand it?

"I'll call a meeting right now." Zhao Zhijian quickly changed his words.

Just one glance and he broke out in a cold sweat, let alone saying anything good about Li Ergou's family.

"I'm just sitting in."

******

The big bell on the threshing ground rang, startling the members who were working.

Soon, members rushed to the threshing ground from all directions.

Li Qiulan was quick-witted. Thinking that Jiang Haitang would be embarrassed in the threshing yard later, she did not ask Jiang Haitang to go home.

She ran home quickly and told the story of Jiang Haitang coming back and beating her, exaggerating it.

Wu Xiuyun was very unhappy because Jiang Haitang had been away for three days for no reason. When she heard these words, she was so angry that she pounded the kang.

"You've made a scene, you shameless thing. Qiulan, find someone to take me to the threshing ground."

"Mom, why don't you not go? I'll just keep an eye on it." Li Qiulan was lazy and didn't want to go through so much trouble.

"You're just a child, so others may not listen to you. But I'm Jiang Haitang's mother-in-law." Wu Xiuyun said gritting her teeth.

Soon, Wu Xiuyun, with the help of two women, got on a cart and headed towards the threshing ground.

On the way, Li Qiulan exaggerated the bad things about Jiang Haitang to her two aunts.

Wu Xiuyun even cried and talked about the misfortunes in her family.

The two people who helped did not know the truth of the matter. They just thought that what Wu Xiuyun and Li Qiulan, mother and daughter, said was true, and they also said a few bad things about Jiang Haitang.

"Qiulan's mother, Haitang is only nineteen this year, a flower-like age. There's nothing wrong with her finding a man. We live in a new society now, and we can't really let our daughter waste her whole life like this." Aunt Cai changed the subject and advised.

Jiang Haitang is also pitiful. She became a widow before she was sixteen, which means she has no parents. Otherwise, wouldn’t her parents be heartbroken to death?

When Wu Xiuyun heard what Aunt Cai said, she was so angry that her teeth were itching. Her son was still alive, and Jiang Haitang wanted to remarry?

dream!

She can only stay in the Li family and work like a slave for the rest of her life.

But this matter cannot be told, the son said, no one can be allowed to know that he is alive.

"I'm not an unreasonable mother-in-law. I've loved Haitang with all my heart over the years and treat her the same way as Qiulan."

"I originally thought that if she wanted to get married, I would treat her like my own daughter and send her out, which would be considered as fulfilling our relationship."

"But this kid doesn't learn his lesson and finds a wild man. As a mother, I feel uncomfortable."

As she spoke, Wu Xiuyun pretended to wipe her eyes with the lapel of her clothes.

My eyes turned red instantly after being rubbed with clothes that hadn't been washed for several days.

It makes people feel that she is really sad.

Aunt Qi wondered, "Haitang looked fine before, how come she suddenly became like this?"

Wu Xiuyun patted her chest and cried.

"I've always said I have a miserable life. My husband died a long time ago, my eldest son didn't grow up, and I finally raised my second son, but he died too. Now even my daughter-in-law is a worry to me... And I'm paralyzed myself. How can I live like this?"

"Xiuyun, don't cry. The team leader will hold a meeting to resolve the issue and will definitely give you an explanation. We can then persuade Haitang." Aunt Cai hurriedly comforted her.

"I see, since you've brought the person back, she must want to marry another woman while she's still young. You might as well ask for more betrothal gifts and let her go, so she doesn't have to worry about staying at home." Aunt Seven also said.

"That's the truth. If you ask for some betrothal gifts, life will be easier for you three."

We chatted with each other until we reached the threshing ground.

The people at the threshing ground were surprised to see that Wu Xiuyun, a paralytic, had come.

When the brigade holds a meeting, usually one representative comes from each family. Wu Xiuyun has been paralyzed on the kang for several years and has never attended a meeting. Why is she here today?

Some people began to murmur and speculate.

"I saw a car coming today. Is it here to deliver condolence money to the Li family?"

"What is condolence money?"

"I heard someone in the county a while ago that the state provides condolence money to martyrs who died. The Li family hasn't received this money in recent years. Did the state just remember this?"

"Maybe that's what happened. It seems someone came to our brigade these past few days to inquire about Li Ergou."

"Li Ergou's mother's eyes are red from crying. She must be thinking about her son again."

"He's a poor fellow."

"Who says it's not true? From now on, we should help out if we can. Li Ergou died because he was protecting us ordinary people."

…

Everyone was talking at once, and the team leader was already standing on a large stone mill in the middle of the threshing ground, talking at the top of his voice.

"I called everyone to a meeting today because I have something to tell you."

"Before the meeting, let me introduce everyone. The person next to me is Director Lu of the textile factory."

Lu Liangchen nodded slightly as a greeting.

When the people on the field heard Zhao Zhijian's introduction, there was an uproar.

Qingshuigou is a remote little village. For many people, the biggest leader they have ever seen in their lives is the team leader.

When they suddenly heard that the factory director from the city was coming, their expressions became more awed.

Only Wu Xiuyun and Li Qiulan, mother and daughter, felt a pang of fear in their hearts.

Li Ergou works in a textile factory. Why did his leader come to their team?

I came here with Jiang Haitang.

Could it be that this bitch Jiang Haitang is up to something?

"Qiulan, what's going on? Didn't you say that the man was a wild man brought back by Jiang Haitang?" Wu Xiuyun asked in a low voice.

"I don't know either, Mom. Don't worry. It may not be a bad thing."

Li Qiulan's mind and eyes were full of Lu Liangchen at this moment, and she was thinking about how to establish a relationship with Lu Liangchen.

"He's your brother's boss. What if that bitch Jiang Haitang says something that affects your brother?"
