Chapter 131 Someone
Bai Qiuyue couldn't help but stare at him. She felt that this woman was deceiving her just to raise the price.
"I'm not going to be frivolous with you. Seven yuan a month, don't push it any further. You can rent a house in the town at this price."
Seeing that his wife was angry, Lu Weiguo said coldly, "We don't need your money. If you have nothing to do, leave. We are still busy."
After saying that, he was about to close the door without waiting for the other party to react.
At this time, Bai Qiuyue didn't know where she got the courage from, and stretched out her hand to hold the door.
Lu Weiguo didn't dare to use force, for fear of hurting the person and getting entangled.
"What do you mean? I'm talking to you here in a nice way, and this is your attitude?"
Bai Qiuyue didn't think anyone would not rent a house, especially in this rural village. They didn't have many ways to make money, so they would definitely not miss this good opportunity.
Even though she heard that the other party's family was a military officer, it didn't change the fact that he came from the village. One's background determines one's vision.
Shi Tingyu just thought that this woman was mentally ill. If she didn't want to rent a house, then she didn't rent it. She couldn't understand Chinese?
"Why do you want to rent my house? If I'm not mistaken, you are an educated youth, right? Why would an educated youth rent a house if he doesn't live in the educated youth camp?"
Bai Qiuyue thought the other party had given in, and a look of joy flashed across her face. "There are so many people in the educated youth camp, and several people sleep on one kang. The environment is not good, and there are constant frictions all day long. Who would want to live in such an environment?"
Shi Tingyu was waiting for her to say this.
"Shouldn't you educated youth go to the countryside to receive re-education as poor and lower-middle peasants? Your fearful attitude is wrong. Other educated youth can live here, but you can't? This is a slippery mindset. You are engaging in capitalist hedonism."
Bai Qiuyue's face turned really pale this time, and she was scared.
If she was accused of capitalist hedonism, the consequences would be disastrous.
She glared at Shi Tingyu with hatred, "If you don't want the money, don't regret it later!" Lu Weiguo
answered her by slamming the gate.
Bai Qiuyue was so angry that she was shaking all over. She had never been treated so harshly before.
She thought that when the other party's mother-in-law came back during the Chinese New Year, she would talk to her mother-in-law about renting a house. By then, the money would be in her hands and this woman would not get a penny.
At this moment, the gate of the next door was opened, and Aunt Lu heard the noise and was looking over here.
Bai Qiuyue knew that the other party was the captain's wife, so she didn't dare to act rashly.
She smiled awkwardly and left.
Aunt Lu shook her head helplessly. She had said that she would not rent a house, and she would not turn back until she hit the south wall.
This time, she found the real owner.
At the beginning, Aunt Lu Er felt that the old family had lost a lot of money in vain. Later, her husband told her about the eldest brother's family's idea, and she felt that it made sense.
Now it seems that there is no reason for this, it is obviously too reasonable.
Just from the look of the educated youth just now, it is not a worry-free person. If he really became a neighbor of their family, even if both sons were married, she would still worry that he would do other things.
After Bai Qiuyue went back, an educated youth from the educated youth point asked in a gloomy tone, "Have you rented a house?"
Bai Qiuyue glared at the other person, "What does it have to do with you whether I have rented it or not? It's no use worrying about it."
The man didn't get annoyed, just sneered.
Anyone with a little bit of money had their eyes on the house next to the captain's, but who succeeded? They all came back empty-handed.
Only this new guy was able to make a fuss.
Bai Qiuyue was angry at the other party's attitude, but she didn't dare to really tear her face with him. He was also an old educated youth and still had some prestige in the educated youth center.
Seeing Bai Qiuyue turned around and lay on the kang, the educated youth said, "It's your turn to cook with me today, hurry up, we are all hungry."
Bai Qiuyue's face was a little unwilling. She had been delayed outside for so long, and she thought that the other party would do it first, but she didn't expect that the other party didn't do anything and had to wait for her to come back together.
Under the gaze of the other party, Bai Qiuyue climbed up reluctantly, thinking to herself that in a few days, when the woman's mother-in-law comes back for the New Year, she will definitely be able to rent a house.
Shi Tingyu didn't know that Bai Qiuyue had not given up. At this time, she and Lu Weiguo were sorting out the things to bring to Shi's father and mother after dinner.
When it was late at night, she was ready to go to the cowshed to see her parents.
The waiting time was tormenting, but fortunately no one in the brigade would wander around at night in winter.
Looking at the time on the watch, it was already eleven o'clock, so the two of them wrapped themselves up and walked towards the cowshed.
At this time, the whole brigade was silent, the north wind was howling, and Lu Weiguo walked towards the cowshed with a flashlight in one hand and Shi Tingyu's shoulder in the other.
The cowshed was on the north side of the brigade, close to the back mountain. The further you go here, the fewer houses there are.
Seeing the cowshed right in front of him, Lu Weiguo suddenly turned off the flashlight and covered Shi Tingyu's mouth.
At the same time, Shi Tingyu's mind showed that there were two people not far from the cowshed.
This was the space prompt she had just received in her mind.
She didn't know when the space was upgraded. As long as she thought about it in her mind, she could find people within a radius of 50 meters.
Just now when she was walking on the road, she kept muttering in her heart that she hoped it would go smoothly this time and not be discovered. Then she was prompted by the space.
She touched Lu Weiguo's hand and signaled that she would not make a sound. Lu Weiguo let her go.
Neither of them moved. Lu Weiguo frowned. His long-trained intuition told him that there were people near the cowshed.
After waiting for a long time in the cold wind, the feeling was still there.
Shi Tingyu's space reminder was also always there.
Finally, Lu Weiguo held Shi Tingyu's hand and led her on the way back.
Shi Tingyu knew that she couldn't see it today.
The way back was much slower than the way there. Without the light of the flashlight, they walked very carefully in the pitch-dark winter night.
After arriving home, Lu Weiguo asked Shi Tingyu to get on the kang first.
Shi Tingyu was a little anxious, "Is someone watching my parents?"
Lu Weiguo was silent for a while and said, "Maybe."
"Will my parents be in danger?" Shi Tingyu was really anxious now.
However, Lu Weiguo had a different opinion. When he felt someone was near the cowshed, he immediately thought that his father-in-law and mother-in-law were being targeted.
But then he thought about it and it didn't seem to be the case.
Seeing his wife anxious, Lu Weiguo told her his thoughts, "If that person is really targeting my father-in-law and mother-in-law, I don't think he is a bad person."
"Why?" Shi Tingyu asked anxiously.
"Now that I think about it, my father-in-law and mother-in-law were sent to Qianxi Brigade a little too smoothly. Our marriage is no secret. If someone had been keeping an eye on my father-in-law and mother-in-law, they would definitely know that Qianxi Brigade is my hometown and would never have sent them here."
"And if someone really was keeping an eye on my father-in-law and mother-in-law, they would have definitely seen the special care my second uncle and his men gave them, especially the cotton-padded clothes they sent them. With such a big commotion, anyone who was following them would have known about it."
Shi Tingyu narrowed his eyes slightly, his brain working at high speed, "In other words, the person being followed is probably not an enemy."
