Chapter 46: The formation cannot be lost
Second Sister Lu looked at Lu Xiang and said, "Your man is quite good!" He ran around all day yesterday and is tall and handsome. Standing next to Lu Xiang, he looks very good.
Lu Erjie had been married for several years, and Fu Qinhui had been studying in another province, so Lu Erjie had not thought of him.
Lu Xiang then told her about Grandma Su's arrangement of a substitute marriage.
Everyone in the village knew about this and it couldn't be concealed.
When Second Sister Lu heard this, she was about to explode with rage: "Isn't our dad grandma's biological son? Look at what she has done."
My eldest sister lies in the hospital, her life uncertain. She married a cripple, but thankfully her in-laws love her, and her husband's brother and sister-in-law help her, so they live a good life. But when she first got married, I cried countless times in secret.
Looking at Lu Xiang's substitutionary marriage, if Lu Xiang hadn't fought with them, she would have been humiliated in vain! In the village, women are treated very harshly. How could she survive such a thing?
This is pushing people to death, so cruel.
Lu Xiang knew her second sister's temper, she was easily provoked, so she quickly said something else: "They were plotting against me, but it didn't end well for them." Then she talked about the Lu family's affairs.
The three hundred yuan for breaking off the engagement was returned, and Lu Zhaodi still didn't like the ideal man in the city that she had set her eyes on.
Lu Zhaodi was originally a popular candidate for daughter-in-law. But after this incident, the villagers kept their distance from her, thinking she was arrogant and not someone who could make a living.
Uncle Lu lost his chance to take the exam to enter the city, and Aunt Lu was almost sent to a labor camp because of her nephew's involvement. Even Grandma lost her shorts with money in them a few days ago, and the whole village was crying!
After Lu Xiang told all this to her second sister, her second sister said, "Serves you right." She finally let out the anger in her heart.
Second Sister Lu said, "This is what they call stealing a chicken but losing the rice. I don't know what Auntie was thinking. She schemes every day, but she doesn't realize her tricks are written all over her face. In the end, she didn't gain any advantage, and instead ruined her own reputation."
Lu Xiang said, "Of course not."
The more they talked, the more they hit it off. Lu Xiang knew that Lu's second sister's mother-in-law's family made vinegar, earning cents for the commune while also selling things. Aside from her second brother-in-law's disability, they had everything else going for them.
Lu Xiang asked her to go buy some food. She was there too and could take over the shift.
Second Sister Lu went out and quickly bought three meat buns. They weren't cheap, three for one yuan. The small stall didn't require meat coupons. But when you broke it open, it was real pork and scallion stuffed buns, albeit a little small, but one was enough for a woman.
Second Sister Lu not only bought some for herself, but also for Lu Xiang and her little niece. "I just called the village and asked your brother-in-law's family to send some people to Xuejia Village," she said while eating buns and urged them to eat.
In Lu Xiang's opinion, the big buns didn't have enough seasoning, but the ones with pure meat filling tasted good.
Second Sister Lu said, "Just go to Lijia Village and ask for me." She paused and said, "I'm here, don't worry about me."
After saying that, she asked her niece to stay and said, "The child is here. You will be able to see her when you wake up later." Mothers are always thinking about their children. Seeing their children may help them recover faster.
Lu Xiang agreed. After leaving the hospital, she went straight to the supply and marketing cooperative and said to Fu Qinhui, "I'm going back by car alone. I have some things to take care of at home." She asked Fu Qinhui to ride a tricycle and bring back the fresh duck.
Fu Qinhui said, "Wait for me." and went in quickly.
Then he went to the yard and carried all the ducks onto the tricycle. He said, "I asked the director for leave." Taking her on a tricycle was more comfortable than driving.
Lu Xiang said, "That's perfect."
Fu Qinhui also asked: "Where is your niece?"
Lu Xiang heard this and said, "She's not your niece. We are a family."
The corners of Fu Qinhui's mouth curled up: "Oh, I was wrong!"
Lu Xiang had no idea what she had said, and said to Fu Qinhui in a serious tone, "My second sister left the child here. She said my eldest sister would be happy to see the child when she woke up." She also said that her second sister had assigned her many people from her brother-in-law's village.
She needs momentum now, and having such support is more important than anything else.
Fu Qinhui pedaled quickly and soon arrived at the village.
Lu Xiang got off the car at the village entrance. Fu Qinhui had to leave the car and his belongings at home before leaving.
Lu Xiang looked out at the threshing ground, where a number of people were sitting. The village chief and her parents were all there. Lu Xiang hurried over. She saw her parents crying loudly.
As soon as Lu Xiang arrived, her mother was so grateful that she wanted to kowtow to the village chief. She said, "You guys have watched Lu Ping grow up. When she gets better, I'll let her thank everyone one by one."
After saying this, he was about to kneel down, but the village chief held him back and said, "Don't say that. I'm doing this for the sake of the child."
The other villagers were also outraged when they heard about it.
The village has a strong sense of clan consciousness. If one of our own people is bullied by outsiders, that would be a disaster.
Lu Ping was well-known in the village for her virtuous and capable character, but now she was beaten and hospitalized and is still unconscious. How could this be possible?
The village chief organized a group of twenty or so people, half of whom were village elders, and the other half were skilled farmhands. Their arms were thicker than their thighs, and their fists were bigger than sandbags. They were all serious laborers.
The two bottles of wine Lu Xiang bought that morning had paid off. The village chief, who had originally been reluctant to go, now joined them.
Even Mother Lu and Father Lu were flattered. With the support of the village chief, Xuejia Village had to think twice no matter how arrogant they were.
The village chief said, "Go and bring out the two ox carts in the village." Since we are going out to intimidate others, we must have a strong presence.
Several men hurried out to lead the cattle. Unexpectedly, they heard the rumbling sound of a tractor in the distance. The village chief looked over and saw that it was none other than Chief Bai from the neighboring village!
Village Chief Bai smiled and said, "Look at that multi-purpose tractor our village bought." It cost tens of thousands of yuan. The village had been frugal for years. This big diesel-powered tractor was awe-inspiring. Village Chief Bai was just showing off his wealth.
There is a cargo box at the back, which can be used to carry people and goods, and the front can also be used to plow the land.
Village chief Wang said, "Old Bai, can you lend me your tractor?" Compared to this, the ox cart is nothing.
Village Chief Bai was reluctant to lend out his newly acquired car, so he flatly refused.
Village Chief Wang said, "I won't lend it to you for free. I'll spread the word about it later. By then, all the villages around will know that your Baijia Village has become prosperous."
When Village Chief Bai heard this, he asked, "What are you going to do?"
Village chief Wang didn't say anything, just offered his support.
Village Chief Bai thought this was a great opportunity to promote his work and agreed. Everyone got on the back of the tractor. When Fu Qinhui arrived, he joined Lu Xiang.
The car was rumbling along the way, full of momentum.
Lu Xiang told the village chief, "My second brother-in-law is going too."
The village chief readily agreed. After all, there was room in the back of the tractor, so one person wouldn't be needed. But when they arrived at Lijia Village, Lu Xiang went downstairs to call for help. Soon, more than twenty of her second brother-in-law's brothers showed up.
After everyone got on the bus, the back seat suddenly became crowded.
Village chief Wang thought that the two girls from the Lu family were very powerful and were really ruthless this time.
