Chapter 240: Finding a Way to Survive
The village chief said, "Is it really possible? Don't make it too difficult for me."
Fu Qinhui said: "It's okay, it's not a difficult thing to do!"
His business is doing better now, so he cannot recruit anyone for internal positions to avoid forming cliques.
There is no problem with positions like freight transport. The villagers are hardworking and should be able to do the job.
The village chief heard this and said, "Okay then."
Afterwards, the village chief went out and gathered everyone together, and told them Fu Qinhui's decision. The villagers had no way to survive, and when they heard it, they almost knelt down to Fu Qinhui.
No matter what, at least I have a livelihood.
The villagers also comforted him: "This is a lesson learned. Don't do it again in the future. We need someone to help us cook duck feet now. If you don't mind the money, you can come and help."
Hiring someone to take care of the house and the land and paying him a dozen dollars a month can also provide some living expenses.
Everyone wanted to ask Lu Xiang if she could teach them the duck feet recipe, but Fu Qinhui kept Lu Xiang under close protection, so they never had the chance.
Zhentianxiang, who had refused at the beginning, now felt too embarrassed to rush up and ask for it.
At this moment, Lu Xiang heard a burst of angry cursing. She looked towards the source of the sound and found that it was the old house of the Lu family.
Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu started fighting again.
Lu Xiang saw that Aunt Lu's face and body were covered in blood and her hair was scattered. She was fighting with Uncle Lu.
Aunt Lu was still cursing.
Women are not as physically strong as men. Aunt Lu was beaten so badly, and no one in the village came to stop the fight.
Everyone hated her so much that they were so happy to see her being beaten that they had no time to go up and pull her away.
In the end, the village chief personally went over and pulled him back, and he finally restrained himself and said to Uncle Lu, "Things have already come to this. There's no point in beating him anymore."
Grandma Lu sat on the ground and started howling at the top of her lungs, saying that she was blind to have found such a troublemaker and that she wanted them to divorce quickly.
Unexpectedly, Aunt Lu went over to scratch Grandma Lu like an angry female leopard, but with so many people around, they wouldn't let her succeed. Seeing her mental state, she was really crazy.
Lu Xiang said: "She is not in good condition anymore, she needs to see a doctor."
The village chief said nothing. His family was penniless and he had only a thousand yuan before.
Ever since Aunt Lu went crazy, she was still giving money around the village, but all the money was snatched away by the victims of the loan sharks.
I heard that they don’t have much food left. If this continues, they will starve to death in a month or two.
Lu Xiang frowned and asked, "Why didn't Lu Zhaodi come back?"
Sister Chunhua next to her said angrily: "She ran away with someone else a long time ago!" These words came from Aunt Lu's mouth.
If she had refused to say this before, but later on when she went mad, she would say anything. Once everyone heard it, the rumor would gradually spread.
Sister Chunhua said, "Whoever marries Lu Zhaodi is unlucky. She was not well behaved when she was a girl. After getting married, she abandoned her children and ran off with her lover!"
He is the kind of person who is despised by everyone in the village.
How could he come back?
The village chief was unwilling to get involved in his family's troubles.
But as a village that has escaped poverty, we cannot let them starve to death in good times.
He said to Uncle Lu, "You should go and look after the fields for the next few days. The village will pay you 20 yuan a month later, which will help you get by!"
Uncle Lu used to be a village official and cared a lot about his reputation.
Who knew that now he has become a rat crossing the street.
Seeing that the village chief was actually willing to give him a job on credit, the six-foot-tall man couldn't help but wipe his tears with his arm and said, "Thank you, organization."
The village chief patted him on the shoulder and said nothing else.
Seeing Lu Xiang, Grandma Lu said, "You can't write two Lu characters with one stroke. If you have money, please help us get some. Grandma knelt down!"
Fu Qinhui couldn't let the old lady kneel down, so she immediately pulled her back and said, "Grandma, we don't have any money, don't say that anymore."
Grandma Lu was a little afraid of Fu Qinhui, but when she saw that he had a dark face and looked like he was about to get angry, she endured it.
Then he burst into tears.
If I had known this would happen, I should not have separated from Lu Xiang and the others!
Now she sees her disappointing son has built a pigpen and is living a prosperous life, while her eldest son, whom she trusts and is most proud of, can't even afford to eat.
What a turn of events! If she could go back now, she would definitely not do this.
But it's too late to say anything now.
The arrival of Lu Xiang and Fu Qinhui has given everyone some opportunities.
As long as everyone is diligent and willing to save money, the money can be earned back.
After saying this, Fu Qinhui went to find the village chief again to tell him something else.
He has made some money from his business recently. In the past, he relied heavily on the help of the villagers to successfully complete his university studies.
Now he has promised the villagers that he will pay for all the children’s primary and junior high school education.
Tuition fees are cheap these days. The tuition fee for elementary school is only three yuan, and the tuition fee for junior high school is only six yuan.
Things are changing so fast these days, knowledge is still the most important thing.
The village chief was deeply moved when he heard this: "It is a blessing for the village to have you and Lu Xiang. On behalf of all the villagers, I want to thank you two."
Fu Qinhui said: "No need to thank you, let these children study hard."
Then he went back home, did some work at the Fu family, and had a meal.
Lu Xiang went to the Lu family's house specifically. The old couple were almost living in the pigpen. The newly bought house was usually empty.
When Lu Xiang came over, Lu's mother was very surprised. The pigpen was far away, so whenever something happened, Lu's mother was always the last to know.
Lu Xiang told her mother what happened in the village.
Mother Lu also sighed with emotion.
Lu Xiang said, "If grandma comes to us for help, don't pity her. She didn't leave us any chance to survive. They did this all on their own. It has nothing to do with anyone else. Don't give her any money!"
Those people are like blood-sucking leeches. Once you get on them, you can't get rid of them.
Mother Lu said, "I understand. I won't do anything stupid."
If her three daughters all moved to the city and relied on each other, this would be her greatest happiness.
How could I have reconciled with Jipin and hurt my daughters' hearts?
Lu Xiang felt a little more at ease after hearing this.
The village was in turmoil. That night, Lu Xiang and Fu Qinhui returned to the county. Second Sister-in-law missed home and wanted to stay there.
Lu Xiang returned home and sat on the sofa in a daze. She felt a soft little guy coming into her arms.
Lu Xiang lowered her head, and Xiao Xi Nian called out "Mom" in a baby voice. Then she kissed Lu Xiang's cheek: "Mom, I miss you."
Lu Xiang felt warm in her heart and said, "Mom misses you too."
Xiao Xi Nian said, "Don't be unhappy."
Lu Xiang looked at Xi Nian in surprise. Such a young child could actually sense her emotional changes.
Lu Xiang felt a little guilty, thinking that she had made her child worry. She immediately said, "It's Mom's fault. I won't be sad anymore!"
Xi Nian happily kissed his mother.
Fu Qinhui took the child aside and said, "You're so young, yet you can already make a woman happy. Go. Go study!"
Xiao Xinian's aggrieved look completely made Lu Xiang laugh.
