Chapter 239: Finding Someone to Cover the Loss
Aunt Lu was cheated out of more than 8,000 yuan.
The whole village was shocked. There hadn't been such a difficult problem in the village in all these years.
The village chief had to invite Lu Xiang and Fu Qinhui back to the village.
When Lu Xiang returned to the village, she saw that everyone was shrouded in a dark cloud.
Not only did Lu Xiang come back, but Fu Ersao also came back.
The Malatang restaurant is supported by Sister Lu.
As soon as Lu Xiang came back, she heard crying.
Xiao Cailian was still frightened. She had money in her hand at that time and was almost bewitched into giving it to Aunt Lu.
I thought that since we all lived in the same village, we wouldn’t be cheated.
Who would have thought that her relatives would even betray their own people and end up in this situation.
Xiao Cailian called Lu Xiang over and said, "Thanks to you!" If she hadn't listened to the advice and put the money there, she would have regretted it if something went wrong later.
People like her would feel bad for several days if they spent one extra dollar, and it would be heartbreaking to think about wasting hundreds of dollars.
Lu Xiang asked, "What are the other people who were deceived like now?"
Xiao Cailian was still frightened and couldn't speak for a long time.
Mrs. Fu said, "When Mrs. Han heard the news that day, she fainted and was rushed to the hospital. With so many people in the family, no one had money to help. In the end, they had to borrow money from the village chief!"
Old Mrs. Han has a domineering personality and has been the head of the family for many years.
Even though her grandson has married, she still has the final say at home.
She had given all the 2,000 yuan to Aunt Lu, but now Aunt Lu had gone crazy and couldn't come up with the money even if she was forced to death. Everyone was dumbfounded.
The Han family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law blamed each other, and even the son was dissatisfied with Mrs. Han. When the patient was sent to the hospital, no one came to serve him. Seeing her reminded him of the two thousand yuan that was cheated away.
In the end, it is the married girl who takes care of her mother.
Lu Xiang asked, "What about the others?"
Mrs. Fu said: "What else can we do? We should all go to the Lu family's old house to ask for money. Every grievance has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor."
Then, Mrs. Fu said mysteriously to Lu Xiang, "It's useless to go there. She has mortgaged the house and land. The police said that these are valid and will belong to someone else in the future!"
Lu Xiang took a breath of cold air.
Although they had been warned, the villagers always took chances. Now that something has happened, everyone is filled with regret.
Lu Xiang said, "I'll go see the village chief."
Xiao Cailian said to her sisters-in-law, "Let's go and take a look. The village chief is really angry."
Lu Xiang went straight to the village committee. The village chief was sitting there puffing on his pipe, and his face looked like he had aged ten years.
A lot of people gathered at the village committee, all of them were victims of being cheated of their money, crying and sobbing.
Some women still had red marks from slaps on their faces. So much money was wasted, which is intolerable for every family.
Seeing these people coming over every day, the women's director was also a little angry: "You don't have to tell us. The villagers tried every way to persuade you not to leave the money there, but you insisted on leaving it there. Now we've reported it to the police. What else do you want?"
The villagers said angrily: "We have suffered such a huge loss, and the village is not going to care?"
"Why don't you think of the village when you make money, and ask the village to cover the losses when you lose money?" said the women's director. These people are too idealistic!
Those who were cheated of their money want the village to compensate them for their losses.
The village still has some assets, especially the tractors owned by the village committee.
If the tractor is sold, it will be enough to make up for everyone's losses.
Chunhua cried uncontrollably and said to the village chief, "We can't afford to live right now. The money for the children's schooling and the elderly's medicine is all tied up here. What are we going to do in the future?"
She just wanted the village chief to find a way for her to survive, as the village chief's sunburn was in severe pain.
Lu Xiang was silent at the side. Everyone didn't notice Lu Xiang at first, but now they saw her and said, "Lu Xiang, you are the most capable person in our village. What are we going to do in the future?"
As soon as the words fell, the women started crying again.
Lu Xiang asked: "What did the police say when we called them?"
Chunhua felt so angry when she thought about this: "That woman knew her relatives were unreliable a long time ago, but she borrowed money herself to pay the interest to us. If she had reported it to the police earlier, maybe she could have recovered it!"
The person next to him added: "The police are at a loss. Where can they investigate after so many days?"
Now I can only admit my loss.
The police are accustomed to this kind of situation, but for the villagers, it is fatal.
These days, every household is in turmoil. Some couples are fighting, some are threatening suicide, and some are going to fight Aunt Lu. There's no peace and quiet.
Lu Xiang said, "You'd better not trust others too much!"
Even those who know how to invest would not trust someone without any basis and give their money to others.
As long as people in the village make a few promises, they will believe it without a doubt!
If Lu Xiang hadn't pushed them before, half of the village would have been deceived.
Now those who make braised duck feet are very lucky, fortunately they chose to trust Lu Xiang, and now they can earn dozens of dollars a month. At least it is better than them.
The director of the women's department asked everyone to wait outside as they had something to talk about.
These people went back angrily, and the director of the women's department said, "Don't go there and make trouble. Even if you beat her to death, you won't be able to pay."
Chunhua said angrily, "But how can I swallow this?"
The director of women's affairs suddenly became angry and slammed the table with a loud bang. "What are you talking about? You were the ones who gave the money to them in the first place. You're not children anymore. If anyone gets killed, you'll all be taken out and shot!"
Then everyone left cursing.
The village chief was swaying when he stood up. The women's director quickly supported him and said to Lu Xiang and the others, "He hasn't slept a wink since this incident happened."
After all, it happened in the village and suffered such a huge loss of over 8,000 yuan. Many people sold their land in order to invest the money here. Without land in the village, there is no way to make a living!
This really put the village chief in a difficult position.
Fu Qinhui said: "If there is no money to be made, I can earn more. If my freight company is short of people, if they have nothing to do, I can arrange for one man for each family with food and accommodation for 30 yuan a month!"
Fu Qinhui also realized that these people wanted to rely on Lu Xiang, but he didn't want Lu Xiang to take on these things.
Lu Xiang had told them not to do it, but they didn't listen.
Now that something has happened, people are looking for someone to cover the losses everywhere.
