When the villagers heard the elder of the second team mention Lu Bairen, they all shut up and waited for Lu Bairen's answer.
Lu Boyuan felt that what they said was becoming more and more outrageous. Every few months, Uncle Yang would call the farm office to ask about Uncle Lu San and the affairs of the village. Ever since Lu Boyuan learned that Lu Bairen was on the farm, he only talked about happy things and never brought up the difficulties in the village.
He often went to the commune to attend meetings. The people in the commune learned that they had a relationship with Mr. Lu in the imperial capital, and often talked about the situation in the imperial capital. He was not a smart person, but he knew that the situation in the imperial capital was too complicated. They could neither help nor hinder it.
"If you mention uncle again, I will get angry. Isn't the annual subsidy given by uncle enough since the founding of the People's Republic of China? Now uncle has retired and many of these old generals are living in retirement homes. What else can they do?" Lu Boyuan glared at everyone.

If anyone is not obedient... the worst that can happen is that both of us will die." Lu Boyuan said, staring at everyone.
After the words were spoken, everyone fell silent. No one wanted to lose their trump card.
