The old man went into the woods without taking her with him!
"Chicken circle, is Chen Liangchen coming over to deliver the chickens this afternoon? You two can meet again."
Xu Nuo's face flushed red, and he gently pushed Bai Lu, "What are you talking about?"
"Didn't you two have a great chat yesterday?" Bai Lu said bluntly.
"Lulu, you still don't quite understand what being sent down to the countryside means... Don't mention this kind of thing again in the future." Xu Nuo's eyes were slightly red, and he turned around to clean the steamer on the stove.
"The Xu family has been wronged, hasn't it? If you can't even hold yourself up high and feel that you are inferior to others, then what's the difference between you and those who are targeting the Xu family?" Bai Lu didn't speak seriously, and even had a bit of a playful smile on her face.
Xu Nuo turned to look at her, stunned.
Bailu had already taken another steamed bun from the pot and left.
Xu Nuo looked confused.
Did she just take another one? So when Jun Jing left this morning, he said, "4 is fine, 5 is best." Did he mean that the number he reported was based on Bai Lu's normal appetite?
She is so thin, why can she eat so much?
But when I think about what she said carefully, I can't help but smile bitterly. I feel that I shouldn't advise others to be good unless I have experienced their suffering.
But after thinking about it carefully, I feel that what Bai Lu said is right... Bai Lu is so good at talking...
Xu Yuzhen, who was sitting in the yard, heard what his granddaughter and granddaughter-in-law said.
Listening to what Bai Lu said, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. She was so young, yet she was so insightful. This granddaughter of hers seemed more capable of shouldering the responsibility than her mother back then... Let's see...
The people in the team started to work like crazy, rushing over every morning to make bricks. They spent the whole morning putting all the bricks into the kiln and then took them out the next morning.
Li Guang was also a man who knew how to take charge of the overall situation. He made a division of labor for everyone, including those who made bricks and those who helped build the house. Because bricks were being made, someone would take out enough food every day to supply everyone's food. He also assigned two aunts to help cook for everyone.
But the only drawback is that the brick kiln is too close to the cowshed, so there are always children running over to the cowshed to look.
Shen Liangchen came over at around ten o'clock, bringing three hens and a rooster, and was seen by the children.
The child went back and told the adults about it. The adults were a little unhappy and felt that people who were sent to the cowshed deserved to suffer. The matter was reported to Li Guang.
Because of Bai Lu's indirect advice before, Li Guang originally wanted to suppress the matter.
But the third brigade has two villages, each with about a hundred people.
The educated youth from Lijia Village and the educated youth from Zhengjia Village had a good relationship. That day, the two educated youth met on a ox cart while going out to buy things and started chatting.
The story spread like wildfire, and rumors spread, culminating in a completely distorted version: Two men from Beijing had come to build a new house and tile roof for the Xu family in the cowshed in Lijia Village, and they even asked the people of Lijia Village to help with the brick making! Some curious people from Zhengjia Village rushed over and saw that not only was the Xu family cowshed drastically changed, but they also heard that the people of Lijia Village were still making bricks, and that the bricks they were making were enough to build red brick houses for everyone in the village!
The people of Zhengjia Village were unhappy! We were all from the same brigade! Why did the people of Lijia Village have red brick houses? Why did they have to live in adobe houses? They were making a fuss! They had to get red brick houses too!
Earlier, the team leader Zheng Kun was from Zhengjia Village. At that time, Zhengjia Village had gained a lot of benefits. Now, Team Leader Zheng Kun has been removed and Li Guang from Lijia Village has become the team leader. Now he has begun to exclude the people from Zhengjia Village!
However, they didn't dare to directly confront Lijia Village. After all, the current team leader was from Lijia Village. So they turned their attention to the Xu family in the cowshed. They thought that those with good backgrounds didn't have red brick houses, so why should those who were sent down to live there? And the team leader didn't stop it!
Make noise!
Village chief Zheng Fugui brought the villagers to Lijia Village, armed with hoes and shovels, and surrounded the brick house in the cowshed, threatening to destroy the Xu family's current house.
Jun Jing left and took four people with him. The other 16 stayed here, ready to stop the Zhengjia Village people's violence at any time. However, they cursed fiercely, but no one actually took action...
The Xu family, Bai Lu, and Shen Liangchen were all in the room.
Bai Lu sat beside Xu Yuzhen, lowered her head and played with her fingers, listening to the people in the room discussing countermeasures and guessing the personalities of her uncles. She had gained a general understanding of them over the past few days, but the personalities of many people can only be truly revealed when they encounter something.
Xu Zhili was in charge of the overall situation, but he didn't have any serious ideas. "What do you think?"
Xu Zhiyi's face was filled with worry. He felt that boosting others' prestige would destroy his own ambition. "How about we tear the house down first? Once everyone leaves, we can quickly rebuild it."
"Brother, you've been through so much, and yet you're still like this. Why did Bai Lu come back with a new identity this time? Isn't it just so we can live a more legitimate life?" Xu Zhiren angrily retorted to Xu Zhiyi, "You make it sound so easy. If you sell the house, what about our eldest niece's hard work? Wouldn't it be wasted?"
Bai Lu's eyes rolled around. Third Uncle's personality was okay. He wasn't afraid of things, but he only raised questions and couldn't solve them.
"What do you mean, Dad?" Fourth uncle Xu Zhizhi asked his old father.
Xu Yuzhen leaned on a cane, his eyes piercing with a chilling coldness, but he said nothing. The old man knew the temperaments of his four sons like a mirror, but he was old and couldn't always take charge of the situation for them. The Xu family needed a new heir to support the family...
"Or we should go out first. In case the people outside start fighting, our own health is the first priority." Xu Zhizhi said, and was about to hug Xu Yuzhen and walk out.
Xu Yuzhen threw his cane and said, "Are you scared to death? There are so many people in this brick house. Breaking it down would mean someone's life. Think about it with your pig brains. Who in the team has the guts to just go ahead and smash it down?"
"Didn't the Zheng family send someone into the wooden house and drag us all out once before?" Xu Zhiyi brought up the past.
Bai Lu's eyes turned cold as she looked at Xu Zhiyi. This second uncle's indecisive character, who was afraid of tigers in front and wolves behind, was really a headache. She had to solve the problem once and for all, deal with the people outside, and deal with Xu Zhiyi at the same time.
"So, Second Uncle thinks this house must be sold?"
Xu Zhiyi looked worried. "That's not what I meant, but at this critical juncture, what else can we do?"
Xu Yuzhen looked at Bai Lu and said, "What do you think?"
"If I have an idea and settle today's incident so that no one in the team dares to cause trouble again, will my family listen to my arrangements in the future?"
Bai Lu raised her eyebrows, opened her eyelids and stared at her grandfather.
She had discovered long ago that the old man had been silent since the accident, just waiting for her to speak.
I want her to do something, but it can't be done in vain! There has to be a price to pay.
