Chapter 56: If I had known this would happen, why would I have done it in the first place?
The village chief was surrounded by villagers.
The village chief was feeling bitter, and at this moment, the village committee asked him to answer the phone.
It was the county's top leader who opened the phone. As soon as he answered the phone, he scolded him and asked him to quickly send Lu Ping's household registration over. Now the county has received letters from the masses.
The masses were outraged and wanted to remove him as the village chief.
The higher-ups also sent an investigation team. This incident had an extremely bad impact, and Village Chief Xue was scolded like a grandson.
In addition, the higher-ups had deprived their village of three places to move to the city this year: "Why don't you ask around? Lu Xiang is this year's hand-picked advanced individual."
"Many higher-ups are paying attention to this matter. You have one day to resolve Lu Ping's household registration." The leader was furious: "Write a self-criticism and come to the county town tomorrow to make a self-criticism. You haven't learned anything else, but you've also learned to form cliques. How despicable!"
Village Chief Xue is regretting it so much now. If time and space could go back, he would have slapped himself twice.
Why did he come up with such an idea? Now Lu Ping's neck was not stuck, but he tied himself up instead.
Now the villagers blame him, the higher-ups question him. He's almost being condemned by everyone.
Village chief Xue hung up the phone with his leader, quickly completed the procedures for transferring Lu Ping and the child's household registration, and personally hitched a bullock cart to deliver it to Dayu Village.
He had just arrived with a smile on his face, wanting to say something nice to the Lu family, but he never saw anyone there. It was Village Chief Wang who received him. He used the special account to get in touch with the Lu family and wanted to apologize.
As soon as he went out, a child hit him on the head with a rotten egg. It was painful and smelly. The other children laughed when they saw it.
Everyone in Dayu Village has heard about the Xue family bullying people!
The children were full of a sense of justice and stuck out their tongues at them: "Lululu."
"The bad guys are coming."
"Bad guys have entered the village."
"Hit him." An older kid gave the order, and several younger kids threw dirt and stones at him.
Village Chief Xue was beaten and fled...
As soon as he returned to the village, everyone saw how disheveled and smelly he looked, and they knew that he had been beaten up in Dayu Village.
In the past, the villagers were united in their hatred of the enemy and would definitely speak up for the village chief, but because of the incidents Xue Shengli caused one after another, they also became angry with the village chief!
If you see it, just pretend not to see it.
The village chief secretly groaned. His superiors asked him to make a self-criticism. He was afraid that he would not be able to hold the position of village chief for long. He had offended the villagers, and his life would definitely not be easy after he left office.
He blamed his father for insisting on standing up for Xue Shengli.
After trying all these thirteen tricks, he failed to rescue Xue Shengli, and instead he fell deeper into the quagmire.
He started to blame Xue Shengli again, saying that his good days were ruined.
At this moment, a figure suddenly jumped out. The village chief was full of self-pity and didn't notice that there was someone else. He almost bumped into the figure and was scared to death.
The man who came was Brother Liu. His mother had also been arrested after causing a scene at the police station. She said that this situation could be reconciled by paying compensation and admitting her fault. However, he borrowed money from all his relatives but couldn't get 1,500 yuan.
Counting every penny he had, there were only a little over 200, not even enough. He said, "Village Chief, can you think of a way for my mother?" He was truly filial!
But his mother had him under her thumb and would beat him up at any time.
Mrs. Liu dared to cause trouble at the police station. Village Chief Xue, after recalling what happened to Xue Shengli, said, "With her temper, she'll cause trouble even if she's released. Let's teach her a lesson."
"She is my biological mother after all." Brother Liu asked, "Is it because the Lu family holds a grudge?"
Village Chief Xue was now extremely sensitive to the Lu family. Upon hearing this, he quickly said, "It has nothing to do with the Lu family. It was your mother who caused a scene at the police station, hurting people and smashing things." After suffering so much, he finally understood that if he admitted his mistakes and took a beating, he could still hold his head high. If he persisted, he would definitely get a bloody head!
The Lu family is not someone to be trifled with.
Brother Liu showed a pained look on his face: "Is there no other way? After all, she is my biological mother?"
Village Chief Xue said, "It's not like the family didn't go to rescue him because they had money. Now they don't have money. What can you do? Your mother is the same. She treats the police station as her own home."
Speaking of this, Village Chief Xue was reminded of Xue Shengli, who had defied the judge in court. Sure enough, people like him who couldn't make sense of things shouldn't be bothered.
If he had not cared about Xue Shengli, he would be happily serving as the village chief. But now, the villagers resent him and his superiors also blame him.
It's not something that can be expressed with just one regret.
Every breath I exhale is filled with regret, which scrapes my lungs.
Brother Liu cried, knowing that he really couldn't save his mother, but he didn't know what sentence his mother would receive. He worried about her for a long time. He asked for leave to go to the police station to visit his mother.
When Mrs. Liu heard that the family couldn't raise the money and she couldn't go out, she quit on the spot. She scolded her son with the most vicious words, saying, "You don't even care about your own mother. You will die a miserable death."
The police around knew she was a troublemaker, but they didn't expect her to be so bad. Her son is a filial son, so this is driving an honest man to death.
Besides, it was she who caused the trouble in the first place. If she had kept her mouth shut from the beginning, this wouldn't have happened.
No matter how much she resisted and struggled in her heart, she was sentenced to two years of forced labor for destroying public property and assaulting a police officer.
Once she arrived at the labor camp, no one would fall for her crying and making a fuss.
When Liu Pozi was taken away, she was frightened and wanted to apologize and kneel down to kowtow, but it was too late.
He was taken away directly by car to forced labor.
After being discharged from the hospital, Sister Lu moved into the Lu family home. The child also changed his mother's surname, abandoning the insulting name. The family named him Lu Bao. Although the name was simple, it also carried the elders' hopes.
I hope she can grow up healthily and become a treasure given by God instead of a slut.
The Lu family had three daughters, and even the youngest, Lu Xiang, was married, leaving the house feeling empty. The old couple felt a bit unhappy about this. But now, their eldest daughter has returned with her granddaughter.
The small home is filled with warmth again.
In the past, the Lu family had little presence in the village, but when everyone saw that the old couple of the Lu family were willing to risk their lives to protect their married daughter, they all praised them.
Knowing that Lu Ping had suffered a lot outside, many aunts in the village came to visit him when he came back this time. Some gave him money, and some brought him some gifts, all of which were out of their good intentions.
When outsiders arrived, everyone found that there was no one in the Lu family's old house.
Real relatives are not as good as neighbors.
Lu Zhaodi's parents used to be a respectable family in the village, but ever since the marriage exchange incident, their family has been plagued by messy affairs, ruining the popularity they had worked so hard to build.
Lu Xiang and Fu Qinhui's life was flourishing, and now even Lu Zhaodi had no one to introduce her to. The villagers were increasingly fond of comparing the two sisters.
I used to think that Lu Xiang was trying to marry above her station with Fu Qinhui, but after going through all these things, I no longer think so. Lu Xiang just didn't express it in the early years.
Otherwise, with Lu Xiang's eloquence, talent and beauty, how could she have survived until today? She would have been married long ago.
At this moment, Lu Xiang is presiding over an important event at the Fu family. The duck necks have been sold for ten days. The supply and marketing cooperative has a large flow of customers, and they sell faster than Lu Xiang in the small market!
The money for ten days has been collected, and she is going to distribute dividends to her sisters-in-law and mother-in-law.
