The three people in the room all looked at the uninvited guest, Wu Dani's mother, Old Mrs. Wu.
Wang Qiufen also started cursing at the top of her voice, "You old woman Wu, you always do such despicable things. You come to my house and eavesdrop, and after listening for a while, you start yelling like you're being pricked by needles and on fire. What are you doing?
Look at your ugly face. I wonder if there is black smoke coming out of your ancestral grave. How could you raise a thing like you? You don’t know anything and just make a fuss all day long.
If you dare to run out and become blind, I will tear your mouth apart."
The two families didn't get along well because of several frictions.
Before, Zhang Xiaojun injured Qingqing, and Wu Dani's family paid compensation. Old Mrs. Wu became even more arrogant, as if Zhang Dahai's money was hers.
I don't know why I came to her house today. I didn't pay attention to what the three of them were talking about, so Old Mrs. Wu overheard them.
Old Mrs. Wu is thin, but she is very imposing because she feels that she has something on the Lu family.
She put her hands on her hips, spit flying everywhere, "You old thing, do you think you are a good person?
Relying on the fact that his family member was the team leader, he withheld the quota for the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University and gave it to his family member.
Just wait, I'm going to expose this matter to the public so that everyone can judge for themselves. I think your old man's tenure as captain is over."
After saying this, Old Mrs. Wu ran out, her short legs moving very fast, and she started shouting as soon as she walked out of the Lu family's gate.
Wang Qiufen was about to run after her, but Qin Anning stopped her, "Mom, let her go. The more you chase her, the more guilty we'll feel."
"But it's not good to let her shout about this to the whole village, right?"
Lu Cheng sat there nonchalantly, eating persimmons and saying, "What are you afraid of? Ningning got this quota in Beijing City. We are not afraid even if they report it to the county."
After the two of them said this, Wang Qiufen no longer felt anxious. She pulled them to sit down and asked, "What's going on? Why did you think of going to college? Aren't you both doing well at work?"
"Mom, going to college is a good thing, why are you worried?
The job you can get after graduating from university can only be better than the one you have now. I’ll tell you all about it when my dad comes back so I don’t have to tell you twice.”
Wang Qiufen thought about it and agreed. Although she still wanted to know the answer like a cat scratching its head, it didn't matter if she waited a little longer.
"Then I'll go cook first."
My son and daughter-in-law are back today, and I’m going to make rice in the evening.
Old Mrs. Wu exaggerated the story and many people actually believed it.
Originally, the three sons of the Lu family had all become successful, and the villagers were jealous.
Now that we finally have a place at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, why did Lu Rongjiang give it to his family?
After graduating from university, the state will assign jobs to you. They are all cadres. Don't think that you can be fooled just because they are old farmers.
"Let's go and talk to him together!"
One of them shouted angrily, and the others responded.
"Yes, we must make him give us a clear explanation, otherwise this matter will definitely not end!"
"If the captain is so unfair, then he can forget about continuing to be the captain!"
The voices were filled with anger and dissatisfaction, and everyone was talking at once, becoming increasingly emotional.
A group of people rushed towards the Lu family in a mighty manner. The whole way was noisy and the atmosphere was very tense. Everyone was holding back their energy and wanted to seek justice for themselves.
Lu Rongjiang had just finished resolving their conflict at the educated youth camp and hadn't even had a sip of water when a group of people rushed to his house to demand an explanation.
"What are you talking about, quotas for Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University?
When will our village have places at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University?"
Lu Rongjiang was completely confused and had no idea what was going on.
"Captain, stop pretending to be ignorant. You gave the quota to your son and daughter-in-law, so of course you have to keep it a secret.
But there is no impenetrable wall in the world, don't think we don't know if you did it secretly."
The person who spoke was a man in the village named Lu Baogen.
Actually, he and Lu Rongjiang have the same ancestor, so he should call Lu Rongjiang brother, but they are not that close after the fifth generation.
Lu Baogen's son also went to junior high school. His family has been farmers for generations and has a clean family background, so he can also compete for admission to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University.
Who doesn’t want their children to be successful?
The captain's children all have jobs, so why should they compete with them for places in the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University?
He is not convinced!
When Lu Baogen said this, many people echoed him, "Yes, Captain, these quotas for workers, peasants and soldiers belong to everyone. Why did you keep them secret?"
The educated youth who rushed over were also filled with righteous indignation. They were the ones who wanted to return to the city the most. In terms of knowledge and academic qualifications, they were also capable of competing. Why shouldn't they even be given a chance?
Meng Yu, Wu Yanli, and Miao Aihua squeezed to the front and were about to stand on Qin An Ning's side, but were stopped by Qin An Ning with a look.
They still have to live in the educated youth camp, so it's better for them not to get involved in this matter.
When the people from Uncle Lu Er and Uncle Lu San's families heard the news, they hurried over. Although they didn't know what was going on, they still stood firmly behind Lu Rongjiang.
The voices condemning Lu Rongjiang grew louder and louder like a surging wave.
Amidst the noisy noise, Qin Anning and Lu Cheng remained silent.
Only after they had almost finished speaking did Lu Cheng coldly ask, "Are you done? You've all said almost everything, so it's our turn to say a few words, right?"
Someone in the crowd immediately responded, "Tell me, we want to see what you can come up with!"
After hearing this, Lu Cheng curled up his lips into a disdainful sneer.
His cold gaze swept across the man who had just spoken like a sharp sword, and then he said slowly, "I don't need to say anything fancy, I just need to tell the truth."
Lu Cheng pointed at Old Mrs. Wu in the crowd and said, "She ran out and started yelling without even understanding what was going on.
You guys don't need to use your brains to think about it. How big of a deal is the number of places in the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University? Can my dad cover up everything for him?
And they gave two places to their own family!
Let’s not even talk about whether our village can get two spots. Even if we do, there are other village cadres. Will they agree to give them all to my family?
The rational people in the crowd gradually came to their senses. Yes, even if there were any, it would be impossible for Lu Rongjiang to occupy both places!
"So, what's going on? Are you going to college or not?" someone asked weakly.
Lu Cheng nodded proudly, his voice strong and powerful, "Yes, my wife and I want to go to college, but the places are not for the village, the commune, or even the city in our county.
This position was obtained by my wife at the Beijing Research Institute. You can’t get it even if you want to.
If you still don't believe it, feel free to report it anywhere. We are doing things in an upright and honest way, and we have nothing to fear."
The crowd suddenly exploded, some believed it, some didn't, and everyone was talking about all sorts of things.
