Chapter 327 Purpose
Her fierce tone sounded more like she was scolding someone.
As a son, how can you not be scolded by your mother?
"I've been doing this for most of my life, working hard, but I haven't seen any improvement. I'd like to go out and give it a try."
Huo Zhao rubbed his head as he spoke, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes, as if he really intended to go out and explore the world.
Hearing this, Mrs. Wen raised her hand and hit him: "Just live an honest life and don't think too much. You are not destined to make a fortune!"
"Whether you can get rich or not is not determined by fate. I can also make money by myself!" Huo Zhao emphasized, obviously with a bit of ambition.
I owed them such a big favor for nothing, and I have to pay it back. It is impossible for me to work for a lifetime just by making a living from their land.
"Then rent a house and live in Beijing for a while. Come back once you've learned how to drive. It's never too late to venture out and explore the world, no matter how old you are. Only by going out can you see a completely different life."
Chen Zhu spoke with a smile, as if with a hint of encouragement.
At Huo Zhao's age, half of his body is already buried in the ground, but he still has such fighting spirit, which is much stronger than that of ordinary people.
"Or... just wait for you to retire in two years and go out and make a living on your own. I don't support you going out and making a living now anyway!" Mrs. Wen was so angry that she had a headache. Even with Chen Zhuyi's encouragement, she didn't dare to let go of her son easily.
She was his only child, so naturally she tried every possible way to make his life better.
I have been eating employee meals honestly all my life, and in my spare time, I can even dig for food in the fields. What else can I ask for in such a peaceful life?
"Mom, I think we should seize the opportunity as soon as possible. Once this favorable wind blows away, it will be difficult to recover."
"I heard them chattering in prison, saying that the country has been encouraging economic development in recent years, and even... will soon encourage business, so that it won't be considered speculation."
"Therefore, we should follow the direction of the country and provide what they need!"
Huo Zhao said this with such certainty that his tone made Chen Zhuyi laugh even more.
"What if we fail? You might not even be able to eat your stable meal." Chen Zhu said the worst plan with a smile.
"We farmers have land, so we have something to eat. How can a living being suffocate to death by excrement, urine, or farts?"
Huo Zhao laughed out loud and in an exceptionally open-minded manner, his eyes sparkling.
He had never wanted to live such an ordinary life, but now that he saw such a nice car, his heart was moved.
If all else fails, he will go to a big city to drive for those big bosses. No matter how hard it is, as long as he doesn't starve to death, it's fine.
"Grandma Wen, I think since Uncle Huo already has this idea, why not...let him go out and try it himself? It won't be too bad, right?"
Chen Zhu made a suggestion with a smile.
Jinhua was also tempted: "Then can I also go to the big city to learn English?"
She was good at English but her math was poor, which was why she didn't get into a good university. However, her original dream was to be a translator.
Since her father can still act like a young man at his age, she should try even harder. What if she succeeds?
"You all are trying to rebel. You don't do the work at home and insist on going to the city to work hard!" Mrs. Wen heard what Chen Zhuyi said, but was skeptical about it.
"Our destiny is to work diligently in the fields. If you mess around like that, you'll end up with nothing!"
Because of her experiences over the years, Mrs. Wen hopes to live an honest life.
But Huo Zhao had other ideas.
"I think we need to go out and try our luck. Even if things get worse, they can't get any worse."
With a hint of certainty in his tone, Mrs. Wen pursed her lips, speechless.
"They are right. The country needs talents who can communicate fluently in English and even drive themselves."
Huo Jinzhi also added something and gave a special reminder.
"Even now in the army, not everyone can drive. Since you have the idea, let's give it a try."
With the consolation of Shen Zhuyi and Huo Jinzhi, Mrs. Wen's expression finally showed some improvement, and she nodded reluctantly.
"Since you've already said that, it would be unkind of me to refuse."
"Big cities have their advantages. We are old now and don't have so many ideas."
Mrs. Wen sighed and shook her head, sitting in the car and squinting her eyes.
A group of people drove back, taking Huo Zhao with them, to completely clear the unjust accusations against him.
"Comrade Huo Zhao took his own property. He was murdered because of a malicious report. We will quickly investigate and once we find the murderer, we will never let him escape!"
Several veteran police officers were giving serious warnings.
The villagers gathered below looked at each other in bewilderment. The crackdown had happened before, and every one of them hated it.
I didn't expect that there would be such a traitor around me now!
"I don't know how many people were slandered in those days. We should have learned the lesson, but I never thought there would be someone who would actually act as the executioner!"
The village chief's tone was also full of disappointment.
Huo Zhao calmly faced the scrutiny of those people, his expression as calm as water, as if he didn't mind the bad reputation.
"Because of this incident, Comrade Huo Zhao has lost his stable job. On behalf of the village committee, I will compensate Comrade Huo Zhao with 1,000 yuan!"
After the old policeman finished speaking, the village chief took out the shared assets and directly pointed out the purpose of giving them away.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone around them looked unhappy.
No one wanted to give this money to Huo Zhao. It was public money, not much different from their own.
"Also, there was someone who was arrested and imprisoned for slander. They also gave him 300 yuan in compensation and a few tickets."
The village chief completely ignored the restless expressions of the people around him and explained everything that needed to be explained in a serious manner.
He was cautious and did not directly say what the tickets were, but just looking at the generous amount of compensation, he knew that they were definitely not ordinary things.
Chen Zhuyi stood aside and watched, also paying attention to the crowd.
All the Cai family members who had appeared before were gone now. They hid themselves in shame, probably because they were afraid of being caught and asked for money.
And because of the stupid things Mrs. Cai did in Beijing, perhaps they won’t dare to go out casually in the future.
"I don't plan to ask for my job back. In the meantime, I'll keep one of these tickets as a watch as some compensation for my daughter."
Huo Zhao was not stupid either, and he immediately told the purpose of the ticket.
