"I'll make the decision on this matter, okay." Xu Yuzhen said.
Xu Zhiyi hesitated to speak, but finally, under Xu Yuzhen's gaze, he finally opened his mouth...
"What do others think?" Bai Lu asked.
"As you say." Everyone said in unison.
Xu Yuzhen's heart gradually settled down. The old man lowered his head and finally didn't say another word.
Bai Lu returned to her room and took out the paper and pen she had put away with her gift, and wrote on it:
Xu Yuzhen, Xu Zhili, Xu Zhiyi, Xu Zhiren, Xu Zhizhi and Xu Nuo of the Xu family agreed that starting from January 19, 1976, all matters would be arranged by Bai Lu. Anyone who doesn't keep his word is a dog!
Signature:
Bai Lu placed the paper on the table and said, "Words are not enough, signature is proof!"
Mr. Xu: Unfilial descendants...
Everyone in the Xu family:!
"Will you write it or not?" Bai Lu showed a negotiating attitude.
Xu Yuzhen snorted coldly, but picked up the pen first, "He's as cunning as a ghost, I don't know who he resembles!" He put pen to paper and signed his name. His handwriting was vigorous and beautiful, just like his personality, but he felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his heart.
Then, several others signed as well.
Having gained the right to speak, Bai Lu was proud in her heart, but without showing it on her face, she pointed to the rocking chair in the hall and said, "Chen Liangchen, help me move this chair to the door. I'm going out to bask in the sun."
Bai Lu said as she opened the door. Before leaving, she warned everyone in the room, "You agreed to listen to me and do things my way. Now, without my permission, none of you are allowed to come out of the room."
She had originally been thinking about checking out the educated youth center in Zhengjia Village before leaving to see if there was any trace of Gu Mo. Now that people from the neighboring village happened to be coming over, she didn't have to go there in person.
She holds a grudge until the death, and it is not just talk. If anyone provokes her, as long as they are not dead, her crescent-shaped scimitar of hatred will spin back and forth and torture those who are not dead yet.
Xu Zhizhi immediately stopped him, "That won't work? Jun Jing hasn't come back yet. What if they throw something at you..."
Others followed suit.
Bai Lu didn't reply, but stood at the door, watching the others trying to persuade her, her dark eyes gradually turning colder. "You are not allowed to leave the house, and don't talk."
Everyone: ...
In Xu Yuzhen's heart, he felt more confident about his granddaughter. With such a descendant, it seemed that the Xu family's foundation of hundreds of years would not completely collapse because of demotion!
Shen Liangchen glanced at Bai Lu's eyes without leaving a trace, and felt an inexplicable chill on his back. After turning his head to glance at Xu Nuo, he carried the rocking chair out of the house and arranged a seat for Bai Lu.
When the people in Zhengjia Village saw someone coming out, they cursed even more fiercely.
"Smash the house!"
"Those of us with good backgrounds can't even live in a red brick house, so why can the Xu family, who have bad backgrounds, live in one?"
"Let them come out and admit their mistakes!"
…
Bai Lu just glanced at the crowd and didn't see Gu Mo, so she sat down on the rocking chair.
Xu Nuo listened to his grandfather and went out of the yard. He set up the stove that Bai Lu had used for the barbecue next to him inside and outside the house, and the hot water was bubbling.
Chen Liangchen was rocking the chair for her on the side, and Bai Lu was tapping her crossed legs, rocking it back and forth, which made the people from Zhengjia Village very angry. They originally just wanted to take the opportunity to force the team leader Li Guang to come out and ask for some benefits so that he would arrange the red brick house for them as well. But now, seeing the little girl rocking in the rocking chair in front of them, they became more and more angry, and some of the young and strong men could hardly suppress their anger and were about to take action.
Bai Lu spoke up first, "I've been watching you for ages. There are so many of you gathered here, all shouting and not doing anything. What are you waiting for? Smash it up! If someone dies, everyone should go to the hospital. It would be best if everyone in the house is crippled. That way, they'll have a safe place to live for the rest of their lives!"
Zheng Fugui felt something was wrong and said, "Don't bluff us! We're smashing houses, not people!"
"People are in the house. If you destroy the house, you'll also damage the people. Don't you understand the joint liability? Also, this house is mine. I spent over a thousand yuan on it. Come and pay me before you destroy it."
When it comes to arrogance, no one can compare to her.
"You are talking nonsense! This place is a cowshed, where the Xu family lives. You are not from Lijia Village, so why do you say that this house is yours?" Zheng Fugui spoke first, and then the people from Zhengjia Village echoed him.
"I built the house. If it's not mine, does it mean it's yours? Should I tear it down or not? If you don't, I will!" Bai Lu said, sitting up with her hands on the rocking chair, and her eyes swept over everyone's faces.
Zheng Fugui narrowed his eyes, "You smash it! We'll watch you smash it!"
"Heh!" Bai Lu sneered and stood up, rushing to the nearest strong man at an extremely fast speed, snatching the shovel from his hand, and kicking the iron sheet off the shovel with force, leaving only a wooden stick.
Having mastered martial arts, she gathered together a set of dog-beating stick techniques from her mind and sighed helplessly, "If a friend comes from afar, I will kill him!"
There is no problem that can't be solved by a beating. If that doesn't work, then two beatings will do!
If that doesn’t work, the stick is not hard enough!
At the beginning, there were still people trying to grab it from under her stick, but Bai Lu specialized in the lower three routes.
Ankle bones, knees, and cartilage...
Finally, after everyone had stood still amid her scolding, she spoke again, "No taboos."
Everyone felt pain all over their body and stood there without saying a word.
"Have you ever heard the proverb? Beating a child on a cloudy day is like having nothing to do anyway!"
Taking Zheng Fugui as an example, his face turned pale.
What did she mean? Did she mean that she was the elder of this group of people?
These words obviously angered the people of Zhengjia Village, who had been beaten but were still a little tough.
"You can hit us! But you can't insult us!"
"that is!"
Bai Lu raised her head and looked at the sky which had been sunny for a long time. Otherwise, she would not have been able to deal with this group of people so quickly.
"Want a red brick house?"
Everyone: ...
"If you want, everyone spread out and stand in horse stance on the spot." Bai Lu said, playing with the stick in her hand and spinning it around.
As the village leader, Zheng Fugui felt he couldn't surrender. With his legs trembling, he protested, "This is the cowshed! We're here to fight the landlords! We're fighting the cancer of capitalism! We're not wrong! People who have been sent down to the countryside don't deserve to live in red brick houses!"
"I ordered the brick kiln to be built. I can build houses for anyone I want. Whoever is qualified can have it. What kind of onion did you grow? Why do you have to be used as a condiment in other people's bowls? What's more, this method of making bricks was thought up by those who you said are not qualified to live in red brick houses. They are not qualified, but you, a troublemaker, have it?" Bai Lu said nonchalantly.
Zheng Fugui grasped the key point, "Was it your idea to make bricks? Not the captain's?"
Bai Lu sneered, "Horse stance."
Zheng Fugui glanced at everyone, and finally, he took a horse stance. It wasn't very practical, but it was a gesture.
The village chief gave in, and the others followed suit, unwillingly taking up horse stance...
Not far away, Li Guang was jogging towards this side with a group of people behind him.
