Faced with her two grandsons' crying questions, Lu's mother could only hug them and cry, unable to say anything else.
Mr. Lu calmed down, knowing that his two children would be ridiculed if they went to school, and if they were injured by those kids who didn't know their own strength, he would have no choice but to accept his bad luck.
So they decided to have Lu's mother take leave from work and stay home with the two children, so she wouldn't have to go out.
Boys at this age are at their most mischievous.
Especially when they can't go to school and are just confined at home, they feel like they could tear the roof off.
Within two days, Lu's mother couldn't take it anymore.
Mr. Lu left early and returned late every day, and his face grew uglier with each passing day.
When asked about the progress, he would get angry and scold Lu's mother, saying it was all her fault, that a doting mother spoils her son, and that it was because she indulged Lu Kai that he caused such a big mess, and now even he, the father, was implicated.
Lu's mother has a bad temper; how could she tolerate hearing this?
He retorted, saying that it was the father's fault for not teaching his son properly, and that Lu Xing hadn't spoiled him.
With the two grandsons wailing in the background, the Lu family was practically in chaos.
The neighbors living on either side of the Lu family's house experience a bittersweet mix of joy and sorrow every day.
Lu's mother was more concerned about her son. Seeing that there was no progress on Lu's father's side, she not only failed to understand his current predicament, but also thought that Lu's father was not doing his best in order to protect his own position.
After all, no matter what happened before, there was nothing that Lu's father couldn't handle.
Mr. Lu couldn't openly admit that he was in a very difficult situation. Not only was Wu Jie, that old fox, taking this opportunity to make trouble for him, but there were also countless people stabbing him in the back.
He's already overwhelmed with problems and besieged on all sides, which is already troublesome enough. Not only does his mother not care about his situation, but she keeps talking about getting her son out of trouble.
Doesn't he want to? Isn't he just waiting for the right opportunity?
Seeing how unreasonable Lu's mother was every day, he really had no mood or energy to explain.
This only fueled Lu's mother's misunderstanding.
Lu's mother hardened her heart. Since she couldn't rely on the man, she had no choice but to take matters into her own hands.
Over the years, she has developed her own network of connections, though not as extensive as Lu's father's. But for her son's sake, she has no choice but to give it a try.
She learned that Lao Ding, who used to live in the same compound and is now the deputy county head, has a relative in the Revolutionary Committee.
She had originally planned to personally visit Deputy County Chief Ding to ask for help, but then she remembered that Yang Minghua and Deputy County Chief Ding's wife had never gotten along in the compound. She was afraid that if she went to visit him now, Yang Minghua might cause trouble for her.
They could only ask someone to approach Deputy County Head Ding, but unsurprisingly, they were refused.
While Lu's mother was furious and cursing at home, she was also unwilling to give up and went around begging for help.
At this point, who would dare to get involved in this mess without a brain? It would be a recipe for disaster.
Everyone avoids it like the plague.
Those who are more tactful and worldly-wise should be polite and say that they are insignificant and cannot help.
To be more direct, or if you're disgusted by what happened with the Lu family, just say Lu Kai deserved it. Since he did such a thing, he should accept the punishment.
After being so angry she nearly fell over, Lu's mother became even more anxious.
I don't know whose advice they took, but they said that relying solely on personal connections wouldn't work, and that a significant financial investment would be necessary! Otherwise, who would willingly take on such a risk for nothing?
Lu's mother took this to heart and spent a lot of money and resources to finally persuade a middleman. After going through several twists and turns, she managed to get the man to the second-in-command of the Revolutionary Committee, the deputy director of the county Revolutionary Committee.
The deputy director's attitude was ambiguous, and Lu's mother was very familiar with this kind of thing. She felt that the deputy director hadn't seen her sincerity.
Gritting his teeth, he not only pulled out a huge sum of 1,000 yuan, but also prepared a few small yellow croakers, practically taking out all his savings.
The most difficult part is getting the money out.
In her entire life, Lu's mother has only ever received gifts, never given any.
However, I still know how to imitate what I've learned.
They found out where the deputy director lived, and it turned out that Lu's father had been busy for the past few days and hadn't returned home for two days and two nights.
Lu's mother wanted to ask Lu's father for his opinion, but she couldn't find him, and the middleman was also urging her.
With a determined look, after her two grandsons had fallen asleep, Lu's mother, carrying her belongings, discreetly made her way to the deputy director's house under the cover of night.
The deputy director's house was easy to find, but by the time we arrived, it was already quite late.
In the pitch black, Lu's mother, on tenterhooks, finally managed to knock on the door and slipped inside.
The first time she gave a gift, Mrs. Lu was flustered and didn't even see who it was before stuffing the gift into their hands, saying, "Director Qin, this is just a small token of our family's appreciation, please accept it! Please be lenient with my Lu Kai's matter! He's just a child and doesn't know any better, he was seduced by that vixen! Please, for the sake of my husband Lu, let him off this time!"
"We'll definitely discipline him strictly from now on, what do you think? We'll offer a generous reward after it's done—"
Before the words were finished, the person who opened the door chuckled and called out loudly, "Director Qin, Deputy Factory Director Lu's wife has come to plead for you, and she's brought a generous gift—"
The door to the main room suddenly opened, and the light from inside shone out. Only then did Lu's mother realize that the person she had mistaken for Director Qin was a strange man. He was smiling, but his eyes were full of malice as he looked at her, like a cat looking at a mouse, with an indescribable teasing and mockery.
Several figures suddenly emerged from the main room.
Director Qin was present, along with several other leaders from the Revolutionary Committee and several leaders from the county.
Judging from this, they must be having a meeting at Director Qin's house.
Lu's mother suddenly felt dizzy...
The next morning, everyone knew that Lu's mother had gone to Director Qin's house with money and small yellow fish to bribe him and get Lu Kai released, but the whole thing was seen by other leaders who were having a meeting at Director Qin's house.
Now, not only was Lu's mother arrested for bribery, but Director Qin also got into trouble and was suspended from his duties while staying at home to undergo investigation.
I heard that the amount of bribery this time is particularly huge. Not only will Lu's mother be investigated for bribery, but some people have also asked where the Lu family got so much money? Did Lu Xing abuse his power to accept bribes?
Mr. Lu was sitting at home when one misfortune after another fell from the sky.
My whole body went numb.
He wanted to scold Lu's mother to make things worse, but Lu's mother had already been arrested and was locked up with her son, Lu Kai.
It can be said that half of her dream was fulfilled. Although her son was not rescued, she went in, and in another sense, the mother and son were reunited.
Mr. Lu was already overwhelmed with problems, and now he's even more stressed. His job as deputy factory director has been temporarily suspended because when Mrs. Lu went to offer a bribe, she asked Director Qin to be lenient for his sake.
Do you believe me if I say I don't know? The Revolutionary Committee certainly doesn't!
Mr. Lu was so angry that he cursed his mother at home! He knew perfectly well that Mrs. Lu had been set up!
He had already been making arrangements behind the scenes, and some people had already given their consent; they were just waiting for him to offer enough benefits.
After all this commotion, not only are they now demanding exorbitant prices, but his work has also been suspended!
