the next day.
Some police officers from the Qingshui Brigade arrived.
It was Lu Xiaodi who reported the case; he wanted to know where Lu Xiaomei had gone.
She hasn't come back all night.
As for the house that was almost reduced to ruins, he didn't bother with it.
Police have confirmed that there was no one inside the fire.
Lu Xiaomei must be somewhere else.
But when she went out, everyone was resting at home, and it was getting dark.
No one saw where Lu Xiaomei went afterward.
These days, you need a letter of introduction to go anywhere.
The captain did not issue a letter of introduction, so he naturally did not know where she was.
Instantly, everyone wondered if they had been kidnapped.
But there is no evidence.
Everyone was extremely nervous.
They all ordered their daughters not to go out at night.
The turning point came on the third day.
Because Lu Xiaomei was brought back by Chen Ximei.
The clothes she was wearing were all made of good material.
It looks very elegant when worn.
"Did Sister Chen really marry a good man this time?"
"Yes, my husband is very good to me. After all, he was introduced by my family, so how could he not be good to me?"
The people around her immediately crowded around her.
"I heard your husband works at a meat processing plant? So, are you eating meat like it's your main meal now?"
Chen Ximei rolled her eyes. How could that be?
But to save face, he nodded anyway.
Another person asked:
"So, can you get meat without a ticket now?"
People nowadays don't eat much oily food; they only eat it a few times a year.
Such connections are rare, so naturally everyone wants to curry favor with them.
This is the scene Su Qiao saw when she passed by.
Chen Ximei held her head high, like a victorious rooster.
She spotted Su Qiao immediately.
She wanted to see Su Qiao come and beg her too, so she readily agreed.
The villagers were happy.
The atmosphere immediately improved a lot.
Su Qiao came to pick up Lu Xiangze, and he specially sent a telegram back saying that he missed her.
I hope to see her as soon as possible.
He also wrote down the time he would return.
Su Qiao was both amused and exasperated.
But I'm willing to come and wait for him, to cheer him up.
It's afternoon anyway, and it'll be lunchtime soon.
I never expected to run into Chen Ximei.
People gathered around Chen Ximei under the banyan tree.
This freed up a spot for Su Qiao.
She stood under the tree, sheltering from the last rays of the sun.
Chen Ximei mistakenly thought that she was also curious, so she began to boast about her life.
She also pulled out Lu Xiaomei, who had been standing behind her.
She was wearing a red dress.
It made her look even darker.
The people around were stunned for a moment. Lu Xiaodi had made quite a fuss about finding someone earlier.
Unexpectedly, Lu Xiaomei went to find her mother.
This girl has absolutely no conscience.
It's been so many days, and they still haven't gone back to the village.
Even if the aunt disapproved, she couldn't show it on her face.
She said with a very natural expression, "My little sister is getting prettier and prettier. Girls who follow their mothers are really different."
"You have good taste; I spent 20 yuan on that dress of hers."
"20 yuan!"
Everyone gasped. So much money spent on such an ugly dress?
The person who was praising her suddenly froze.
All I could do was force a few laughs in agreement.
Chen Ximei became even more smug.
She even raised an eyebrow at Su Qiao.
Su Qiao turned her head away, afraid that she would burst out laughing at any moment.
She didn't believe a single word Chen Ximei said.
Chen Ximei probably hasn't seen what she looks like during this period of time.
In such a short time, he looks more than ten years older.
If her clothes weren't so neat, you could probably tell at a glance how tired she was.
But in Chen Ximei's eyes, her behavior was just insane jealousy.
Chen Ximei was satisfied.
She walked towards the Lu family home with the people who were flattering her.
Everyone was busy complimenting her, and no one told her about her current situation.
soon.
A scream echoed throughout the entire Qingshui Brigade.
Su Qiao couldn't help but look in that direction.
I felt a pang of regret for a second, not having seen Chen Ximei's expression with my own eyes.
But as you can imagine, I won't be too happy.
She is waiting.
Not far away, a person on a bicycle approached.
Su Qiao could see the man in the distance clearly.
After not seeing him for a few days, I feel that Lu Xiangze has become even more handsome.
good.
Lu Xiangze had just posted it casually, already prepared for Su Qiao to ignore it.
Upon suddenly seeing the person he had been longing for, a big smile immediately bloomed on his face.
There's no one else at the village entrance now.
Su Qiao sat directly on the back of Lu Xiangze's bicycle.
The two went home together.
Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu, who were just about to take a stroll in the Su family's courtyard, spotted the two of them.
They immediately exchanged knowing smiles.
We returned the way we came.
Lu Xiangze escorted the person home and looked around to make sure no one was there.
"I'm back safe and sound now, can I have a reward?"
Su Qiao thought for a moment and nodded.
"Can."
Lu Xiangze's ears suddenly turned red.
Su Qiao has recently studied the books that Xiaobai has read.
He thought he had seen through Lu Xiangze's tricks.
His ears are so red, could it be that he's thinking...?
The next second.
Lu Xiangze gradually approached and suddenly hugged Su Qiao very quickly.
Then I let go.
Su Qiao: ? ? ? That's it?
She was truly helpless about Lu Xiangze's personality traits.
It's like a kitten stretching out its little paw to test the big cat.
The big cat didn't react, but it was so shy it was about to explode.
Su Qiao was amused by her own imagination.
"This is the reward I wanted. I'm going back now, I'll bring you food later!"
After Lu Xiangze finished speaking, he wanted to leave.
But Su Qiao grabbed his hand.
The warmth emanated from his palms, making Lu Xiangze's face even hotter.
"You're so shy, what will you do in the future?" Su Qiao sighed.
Lu Xiangze suddenly noticed that Su Qiao seemed to have changed recently.
And he even matched up with the moves that Xiaobai taught him.
Suddenly, I felt a bit like laughing and crying at the same time.
Could it be... that she was also taught by Xiaobai?
"ah--"
A scream shattered the atmosphere between the two.
Chen Ximei screamed again for some reason.
Many people have already finished work.
Their gazes involuntarily turned toward the source of the scream.
"What happened there?" Lu Xiangze pointed in the direction of the Lu family's house.
The charred, blackened appearance of that area was hard to ignore.
Su Qiao shared all the current information.
Lu Xiangze suddenly had a premonition.
Su Qiao was puzzled when she saw his expression.
"What, do you have something in mind?"
Lu Xiangze pondered for a moment and said, "I just guessed who might have done it."
"Little Sister Lu".
"Little Sister Lu?"
The two spoke in unison.
Lu Xiangze judged based on Lu Xiaomei's personality, while Su Qiao only remembered her after seeing Lu Xiaomei today.
The Lu family.
Chen Ximei was stunned.
Especially when she saw Lu Xiaodi returning with his basket on his back, she couldn't help but scream.
The people who had been flattering her couldn't take it anymore.
They stepped back a little.
Who could stand that sound?
"How can you go to work?"
Chen Ximei was on the verge of collapse.
Lu Xiaodi slapped her hand away and said expressionlessly, "What's it to you?"
Ever since he learned that Chen Ximei had remarried, he has found it difficult to adjust his mindset.
"Did you run away with her?" This question was directed at Lu Xiaomei.
"I..." Lu Xiaomei choked.
She simply doesn't know what to say.
No matter how you explain it, it's all weak, and besides, Brother Lu didn't even get burned to death.
Lu Xiaodi was immediately disheartened.
I can't be bothered with the two of them anymore.
"The day you left, the fire in the kitchen broke off and burned down the house. Now there's nothing left in the house. If you want to stay with her, then go with her."
After Lu finished speaking, he went into the only remaining room.
Looking at the house, Chen Ximei immediately lost all interest.
Seeing that Lu Xiaodi was also ignoring her, she immediately gave up her original idea.
If I come back now, I'm afraid I won't even have enough to eat.
Chen Ximei pulled Lu Xiaomei away.
Those who flattered her couldn't help but want to confirm when they could get their free meat when they realized she was leaving.
Chen Ximei instantly turned her back on her.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I didn't agree to anything you asked. It's ridiculous..."
After saying that, he left quickly without waiting for anyone to react.
Those nearby immediately realized they had been scammed.
Lu Xiaomei originally wanted to come back and show off, but she was influenced by Lu Xiaodi's appearance.
There was no time to react, and they hurriedly returned to the commune.
Later, he only came back once, when he was getting his marriage certificate.
From then on, she never returned to Qingshui Brigade.
