As the captain watched Liu Xiaojuan's retreating figure, he felt a surge of anger rising to his head.
Liu Laizi was still standing in the same spot.
They sensed the captain's unfriendly gaze.
Before he could even speak, he loudly apologized, "Brother, I'm really sorry, I have to go now."
After saying that, he slipped through the crowd like a slippery eel and ran away.
You can no longer tell that he usually cheats, shirks his responsibilities, or fakes illness.
The crowd immediately booed.
They continued to discuss Lu Xiangze incessantly.
"Flies don't land on eggs without cracks. The eldest son of the Lu family must have said something to Liu Xiaojuan."
An older woman who had always been at odds with the Lu family still spoke up for Liu Xiaojuan.
"Speaking of which..."
Lu Xiangze heard it clearly, but he didn't pay attention to it.
His gaze fell on Su Qiao.
"Su, thank you for your help today. I will come to visit you another day to thank you in person."
He knew in his heart that Su Qiao had been a great help today, and that these things needed to be explained properly.
Once he finds out that it has nothing to do with her, he will naturally repay her properly.
if……
Su Qiao didn't see the complicated look in his eyes, nodded and left.
The brigade leader looked at the sensible educated youth, and then at the villagers who were watching the spectacle.
He was immediately furious.
He walked a few steps to the door and slammed his pipe heavily against the doorframe.
The crowd fell silent instantly.
The captain's gaze swept over the crowd before he asked, "No work tomorrow?"
Everyone scattered like birds and beasts.
Soon those people overtook Su Qiao.
Su Qiao was also bumped by someone.
I almost fell into the ditch.
She finally managed to steady herself, only to find that the person's figure was completely unfamiliar.
Although she was dressed in women's clothes, there was a strange feeling about her.
They walk with long strides.
Moreover, the force with which she was hit was considerable; it seemed intentional.
She didn't do anything to offend anyone, did she?
In the blink of an eye, the person disappeared around the corner.
Su Qiao looked over there, but instinctively didn't chase after them. She quickly went home.
Naturally, they didn't notice that the person was crouching in the shadows in the corner.
Be ready to ambush her at any time.
He knew his strength had been exposed, and he originally intended to drag the man away and get rid of him, but the man didn't fall for it at all.
She ruined everything today; I'll have to make it up to her another day.
Now, he'll go teach that idiot surnamed Liu a lesson!
In the courtyard, after everyone had left, the captain closed the not-so-sturdy door.
She walked over and sat down next to Lu Xiangze.
He said earnestly, "Xiang Ze, you've been having some bad luck lately..."
The last two words were something even the captain didn't know how to say.
This thing is really superstitious.
Although this is not encouraged now, people still care about it to some extent.
Lu Xiangze, in particular, has been incredibly unlucky lately.
One thing after another happened.
As the captain, he practically lived in his house.
Surgery, disability, family division, false accusation...
He caught all of these.
It's all good now; I've gotten through each time without any problems.
What if one day...
The brigade leader was a relative of the same family, and he had known since childhood that Lu Xiangze, the eldest son, had a hard life.
His two younger siblings were disappointing, and he had really sacrificed too much for them.
So he felt sorry for the child from the bottom of his heart.
Lu Xiangze felt a warmth in his heart. He had always been different from his younger siblings since he was a child, and he always felt that his family treated him as if there was a layer between them.
Even after learning the reason, it was still hard to let go of the feeling.
Fortunately, he has people like Uncle Fugui around him.
Lu Xiangze smiled and said, "I understand what the captain is saying. These things are all man-made. There's nothing mysterious about them."
"I am..."
"I understand Uncle Fugui's concerns, I will be careful. But you, be careful on your way back, don't fall."
The captain knew that his words were superfluous.
Knowing that the child was doing well, he was relieved and turned to leave.
He was the only one left in the courtyard.
Unconsciously, I recalled the image of Su Zhiqing that I had just seen.
I felt a little tempted, but I quickly suppressed it.
Judging from how she avoided him, someone like him really shouldn't have gone up to her.
The kerosene lamp burned out, and the sky grew completely dark.
The Lu family.
Lu Xiaomei was excitedly describing what had happened in Lu Xiangze's yard.
When he got excited, he even gestured with his hands several times.
Lu's mother, Chen Ximei, was overjoyed; he had finally achieved his goal.
He frowned again when he heard that Su Qiao had splashed a cup of water on him to wake him up.
Sitting next to her was her third younger sister, Chen Xigui.
Upon hearing this, Chen Xigui couldn't stop smiling.
Thank goodness I came today, otherwise I would have missed all the excitement.
"Your eldest son is truly remarkable. It hasn't been long since we last saw him, and he's already become a rare sight, with everyone wanting a bite."
"Hmph." Lu's mother, Chen Ximei, snorted coldly, feeling that her son was the best.
No matter how good-looking the eldest son is, so what? He's still a homeless person.
In the end, she still kicked him out like a dog.
Chen Xigui looked at her older sister and suddenly remembered why she had come.
“Our brigade leader has a daughter, and speaking of which, she would be a good match for your eldest son.”
"Tell me about it." Chen Ximei suddenly had a better idea.
"The brigade leader's youngest daughter is 23 years old now, a bit older than your eldest son. But as the saying goes, 'A woman three years older is a lucky man.' She's good-looking, and her dowry will include not only a three-ringed watch and a radio, but also 200 yuan in cash!"
"What? Not only do you get the 'three turns and one sound' (referring to a radio, a watch, a bicycle, and a radio), but you also get 200 yuan?" Chen Ximei almost lost control of her expression, her tone revealing a hint of surprise.
She had never met such a generous person before; it was as if the God of Wealth had come to deliver gifts to her door.
"Bang!"
The door was pushed open forcefully.
It's Lu Xiaodi who's gone home.
Seeing that there were only steamed buns and porridge on the table, his face immediately fell.
"Eating this again."
"Son, just bear with it for now. Once I get that money back, you'll be able to eat good food." Chen Ximei smiled broadly, looking at her son with loving eyes and a determined look in her eyes.
"What money?"
Young Master Lu was puzzled. Wasn't the money stolen? Where did it come from? Could he possibly...?
“I’ve found a great marriage for my eldest son. Not only does the other party not mind his situation, but they’re also willing to bring a huge dowry. Then you’ll have your bride price money, right?”
Chen Ximei could almost see herself sitting in a pile of money, counting it.
My heart is burning with passion.
He couldn't wait to propose marriage.
Upon seeing this, Chen Xigui took Lu's mother's hand.
"Big sister, I haven't finished yet. That girl has a physical defect and can no longer have children, and... she's not very bright."
I thought I would be scolded.
Unexpectedly, Chen Ximei was even happier to hear this.
Isn't this better? Trading a useless person for a large dowry is a good deal.
"Anyway, the eldest brother is disabled, so it's a blessing for him that a girl is willing to marry him. You can go and talk to him, I agree!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Xiaodi felt a cold sweat break out all over his body.
Mother is too bold!
