Chapter 50 Return to the Village

Lu Xing and the others finally returned to Xiaoshi Village!

During this trip, Lu Xing asked Lianhua to help take care of the pigs at home and the vegetables in the fields.

After returning home, she went to the pigpen to check on the pigs. Two little piglets were drinking water with a grunt. When they heard her coming, they didn't even raise their heads.

Seeing that the two little piglets adapted so well, she felt relieved.

The chickens were in good spirits, but the little fox had gone into the mountains, perhaps because it didn't recognize Lianhua.

She didn't go looking for it. After filling the fox bowl with food, she went to look in the field.

The seeds she had planted before had sprouted and looked like they were growing well. The weeds next to them were growing better than the vegetables.

The people working nearby in the fields brightened when they saw Lu Xing approach. They all wanted to know if Lu Yue had gone to the city to settle accounts with the scumbag, and now that Lu Xing was back, they wanted to know how that went.

"Aunt Xing, when did you return to the village? Where's Sister Lu? Wasn't she with you?"

"I just arrived and ran to the fields to check on the vegetables without even drinking any water. I haven't been here for a few days and the weeds are growing better than the vegetables."

While chatting, Lu Xing went to look around at someone else's field. "You guys really did a good job of weeding. There's not even a shadow left."

"Isn't this just to be more diligent? This dish can be sold at a good price at Lu Yuan's place."

"I heard you went to Province N with Lu Yue this time? How was it? Did you find that guy?"

A few other people who were sitting nearby also came over and asked, "That's right, can you tell us more? Have you found that person?"

They also handed Lu Xing a plum.

These are all fruit trees that we planted ourselves. Even after giving away the fruits, there are still more fruits than we can eat.

So sometimes they don’t bring water when they go to the fields, but just bring some fruits to quench their thirst.

The skin of the plum is sour and the flesh is sweet. Unexpectedly, when Lu Xing took a bite of the plum in his hand, his mouth was full of saliva due to the sourness. "Erniu's mother, the plums in your family are really sour this year."

Erniu's mother laughed very happily, "Oh, I just took the wrong ones. I like sour ones, so I took two extra sour ones, but I didn't expect that Auntie would eat them."

"I'll bring you something sweet next time. First, tell me whether Lu Yue found Fang Jian? What happened next?"

"What else can I do? Fang Jian went to Province N to study at university and married a city girl."

"Hey, this guy is too shameless. After abandoning Lu Yue, he still has the nerve to marry a woman from the city? He is really shameless."

After hearing this, several people were angry for Lu Yue. "God is so blind! That man did so many bad things and still lived happily in the city. If he were in our village, he would have been beaten into submission long ago."

"Not only that, the man also had a mistress outside, who gave birth to a son for him. He even arranged for the mistress to live next door to his wife, and the two of them were having an affair every day right under the nose of his wife in the city."

Today they finally saw what shamelessness meant.

"Sure enough, when that man first came to our village, I thought he was not a good person. His eyes were as high as the sky."

An auntie nearby added, "No, I lent him my hoe out of kindness, but he's just looking at dirty things and looking down on us who work in the fields. Why did he even come to the village to join the team?"

"For him to be able to get into college like that, God must be blind."

"What did you do after you found him? Did you beat him up to vent your anger?"

"The man was later locked up."

Several people who were originally listening angrily slapped their thighs and said, "People like this should have been put in jail long ago."

Some people who think cheating is no big deal questioned, "That man just cheated, so why should he be arrested? Aren't there people cheating outside in our area too? Why haven't they been caught?"

"That's right. The kid's father was arrested. Doesn't that also harm Lu Xin?"

Under the influence of clan concepts, people in the village have little legal awareness. In their eyes, only killing is a crime.

Although abandoning his wife and children for more than ten years is excessive, some people think it is not serious enough to warrant imprisonment.

Lu Xing patiently explained to them what bigamy is. "I can tell you didn't pay attention. Didn't a cadre explain this to you? That man married Lu Yue, and then went off to marry another woman from the city. He married twice, so he's committed bigamy."

Erniu's mother didn't care about the man's fate. She was just curious about whether Lu Yue got the money she asked for. "I heard you went to ask that man for child support? Did you get it?"

"I'm not too sure about this, why don't you ask Lu Yue?" It's ok to talk about gossip, but when it comes to money, Lu Xing is very tight-lipped.

When times were tough in the past, people couldn’t hide how much money they had at home, and if they were a little better off, they would easily attract the attention of nearby thugs.

Life is better now, but there are still some people who can't stand others doing better than they are.

"I just know a little bit about that guy, are you still listening?"

"Listen, listen, listen."

Then no matter whether it is money or not, they will not get it. It is more exciting to listen to the garbage being locked up in the jail.

Lu Xing was busy chatting on this end, and Lu Yue was not idle on the other end either.

She and He Gu are sworn enemies. Ever since He Gu got married, they have been fighting each other many times.

As we get older, we fight less but we still quarrel as much. If one family is in trouble, the other family will definitely laugh it off.

This time, when He Gu heard that the educated youth who abandoned Lu Yue had married a new wife in the city, he immediately came to join in the fun.

There were quite a few people coming to Lu Yue's house to chat, but when He Gu came in, everyone instantly became quiet.

"Why are you all looking at me? Aren't we talking about Lu Yue's husband?" She looked at Lu Yue with an amused look on her face.

I thought Lu Yue would retort like before, but unexpectedly she nodded and actually continued talking.

"Yeah, yeah, that's where I was. Oh, he found a mistress outside, and we ran into her when we went to his house."

He Gu looked at her and wondered if she had been blinded by the blow she received from that man. "Why did you choose such a man? He cheated you out of your money and abandoned you and your son. Now he's living happily out there. You have such poor judgment."

"You're right. I was so blind when I was young that I was deceived by such a person."

Lu Yue walked to He Gu and held his hand, "Speaking of which, I have to thank you!"

The others subconsciously stepped forward. They were so used to trying to stop fights that it had become a conditioned reflex, and they subconsciously wanted to separate the two.

He Gu was so scared that he threw his hands back. "You went to the city and drove yourself crazy? What are you thanking me for? For stealing your man or for eating your food?"

No matter what He Gu said, Lu Yue was in a very good mood. She felt even better when she saw her mortal enemy was frightened by her words.

She deliberately talked about their child, "Let your daughter come to my house to play someday. The child is so big now, she can't be locked up all the time."

This sentence made He Gu explode, "What are you kidding? Tell your Lu Xin that if you want to marry my daughter, you won't be able to do so in your next life."

Instead of having fun, He Gu got angry and just left.

"Hey, don't go. Don't you want to hear about my bad luck? Do you want to listen to it a little longer?"

Hearing the voice behind him trying to keep him, He Gu walked faster.

After everyone went home for dinner that night, Lu Xin told Lu Yue about He Gu's visit during the day. "Mom, isn't it a bad thing that Aunt He ran away because of you?"

Looking at her silly son, Lu Yue put down her chopsticks and said, "Why is it bad? I have been arguing with her for half my life, and she still talks like this? Why didn't I see you speak up for me when she scolded me?"

He stammered for a long time and couldn't say a word.

"Okay, I know you like the girl from the He Gu family. It's impossible for your mother to stop arguing with her family, but I won't stop you two from dating. Nowadays, people outside talk about free love."

"If you have time to worry about your mother, you might as well think about how to get past He Gu. She and I have been at odds for half our lives, so she might not necessarily look down on you."

Lu Xin sat there listening to his mother's words. He felt awkward at first, but then became happy when he heard that Lu Yue didn't care.

He patted his chest and assured, "Don't worry, Mom, I will definitely be able to convince Aunt He."

Lu Yue patted Lu Xin on the shoulder and cheered him on.

There are many people in Xiaoshi Village who speak rudely, and He Gu is one of the most powerful among them.

Otherwise, why did she always want to fight when she was young? Otherwise, why did she always suffer losses in arguments?
