Chapter 152 The Little Girl
During the time Bai Lu transmigrated here, she ate well, drank well, slept well, and her body improved a lot from the military boxing training. She is quite strong and can even overturn Li Shuixian, who weighs 200 pounds.
Not to mention, dragging a human infant away with bare hands.
Without breaking a sweat, he said, "It's not the weekend today, you have to go to school, so we can't go to the countryside. We'll take you next time we have time."
When grabbing his wrist couldn't stop him, Xiao Wei grabbed his leg and said, "I'm not going to school."
As expected, Bai Lu stopped in her tracks.
But she wasn't stopped because she was dragged along; rather, she stopped because of something else. She looked down at the little one beside her with a cool smile and said, "What did you say? Say it again?"
Even with his scalp frozen, Xiao Wei insisted, "I won't go to school this afternoon. I'll go to the countryside with you. Uncle Fu said there are a lot of bad people, and you definitely can't handle them all by yourself. My older brother asked me to stay home and protect you, and I'll keep my promise."
Bai Lu curved her cool eyebrows and met the little guy's bright, sparkling eyes, and said coolly, "Then why were you staring at Lin Jinfan just now?"
"Is it because he's good-looking?"
Xiao Wei firmly disagreed with this statement and loudly gave the most correct answer: "Big Brother is the best looking!"
Bai Lu smiled and asked, "So, are you going to listen to what your older brother says?"
"Listen!" Absolutely.
Looking at the little guy's serious and determined face, Bai Lu said softly, "Protecting me is a task your brother assigned you, and your school tuition is also paid by your brother. If you don't go to school, it will be a waste of the money your brother worked so hard to earn. Do you really want to go to the countryside today?"
this……
Xiao Wei was stumped by the question and hesitated for a very long time, unable to make the most appropriate choice.
Bai Lu is right.
However, when Bai Lu went to the countryside, she didn't just go with Uncle Fu and his wife; Lin Jinfan also went with her.
Lin Jinfan, the one who would abduct Bailu.
Bai Lu had saved up so much money so that she could elope with Lin Jinfan. What if Bai Lu and Lin Jinfan went to the countryside together and never came back?
What should I do, brother?
While Xiao Wei hesitated, Bai Lu had already pulled his hands off his lap and quickly led him home.
They pushed him inside, hung the packed food in his hand, and patted his bald head.
"Be a good girl, go to school after you finish eating, I'll be back early."
As Xiao Wei watched Bai Lu turn and leave, he subconsciously took a step, then stopped.
You must come back.
"Don't worry, I'll be back before dark."
The girl's figure walked further and further away until the young man helped her onto a tricycle, where she disappeared with a loud bang.
They're gone.
Bai Lu really left with Lin Jinfan.
Xiao Wei rushed back to the house to make a phone call.
As the tricycle approached the entrance to Xiaojia Village, before even entering the village, it could hear a commotion and arguments coming from afar.
“You can’t do this… If you take away the sand, how are we going to store the chestnuts? The rice hasn’t even bloomed yet, so we don’t have any rice. If you take away the sand, we won’t be able to finish the chestnuts and we can’t store them. What are we going to eat if they spoil…”
"Please have mercy and give us a few months' grace."
"Can you collect sand after the early rice harvest, when we have rice to eat?"
The voices that pleaded kindly were all those of elderly people.
His voice, weathered by time and eroded by the elements, was hoarse, yet his pleading was exceptionally clear.
The resounding refusal was firm and unyielding: "Enough nonsense! Every country has its laws, and every family has its rules. We're telling you to hand it over now! You've been dawdling for so long. If you don't hand over the sand now, don't blame us for being impolite!"
"Fine, then we won't be polite. How can you treat ordinary people like this? Do you even deserve these uniforms?"
"We have no sand, but we'll give you your life. If you want to force your way into Xiao Family Village to plunder sand or cut down chestnut trees on the mountain, you'll have to step over us first!"
"Yes! Unless they step over us!"
"What you're doing is no different from the bandits who robbed ordinary people of their grain in ancient times!"
Without even looking, one could tell that the vigorous voices behind them belonged to the upright and spirited young men of the Xiao family.
Both sides were blocking the entrance to Xiao Family Village, a huge crowd of people, too many to count.
The dividing line in the middle of the battlefield can be vaguely seen.
The brick trucks carrying sand were parked on both sides of the main road. At the front was a silver-gray sedan and three black cars.
Those entering Xiaojia Village from the outside were all in police uniforms, while those heading outwards from Xiaojia Village were young men from the Xiao family, wielding shovels and hoes. The two sides were locked in a standoff, neither willing to back down an inch.
When the car reached the mountain, there was no road, so the people in the car had to get out and walk into Xiaojia Village.
Bai Lu frowned slightly as she looked at the dozen or so burly men in uniforms in front of her.
When asked, "Do they have any official approval documents from the relevant departments?" Li Hongying was asked, "Do they have any documents from the relevant departments?"
Li Hongying thought for a moment before saying, "Are you talking about that notice with the red stamp?"
Bai Lu nodded.
“Yes.” Li Hongying replied immediately: “Their boss brought a young man wearing glasses. The young man had a work ID around his neck, but we couldn’t see it clearly from a distance. We only knew that he was from the city office. He had a document in his hand, which he showed to us when he came. It was indeed stamped with a big red seal.”
Seeing Bai Lu deep in thought, Lin Jinfan asked Xiao Guofu, "Have you read the contents of the document carefully?"
Xiao Guofu immediately replied, "I saw it. I saw it myself. It does say that we illegally mined sand and gravel and that we have to return it all. It also says that Banlishan does not meet the standards and that we have to return the farmland to forest."
When Lin Jinfan was a child, he often went back to Xiaojia Village with Xiao Shurong to help his grandmother harvest rice. Everyone in the village knew him and knew that he was a rare college student.
Xiaojia Village only produces one college student every few years. In the eyes of the villagers, college students are all exceptionally intelligent and wise, and are destined for great things in the future.
Xiao Guofu and Li Hongying were no exception; they actually placed their deepest hopes on Lin Jinfan, not Bai Lu.
Bai Lu is very clever in business, but she is not a college student, and her knowledge and experience are certainly not as extensive as Lin Jinfan's. She is definitely not as good as Lin Jinfan at dealing with those in uniform.
Xiao Guofu and Li Hongying led the two through a side path into Xiao Family Village, waiting for Lin Jinfan's reply the whole way.
Lin Jinfan and Bai Lu were both deep in thought.
He remained silent the whole way, occasionally glancing up at the situation at the edge of the village, seemingly trying to think of a solution.
Lin Jinfan's maternal relatives were waiting outside early in the morning. When they saw Lin Jinfan return, they immediately stepped forward and said, "Jinfan, your mother is already keeping vigil in the mourning hall. Go and offer incense to your grandmother first. Things here can't be rushed."
Lin Jinfan's maternal grandmother passed away yesterday.
Now that things have turned out this way at the village entrance, even the elderly who passed away peacefully are not able to leave in peace.
Lin Jinfan looked at Bai Lu and gently instructed her, "I'll come back after I finish offering incense. They are tall and strong, so you, a little girl, shouldn't try to stand out or get hurt. We'll talk about it when I get back."
