Chapter 71 Lover
The doctor was arrested, Director Xu was arrested.
Zhou Muhua had an abortion because she had more children than allowed.
But this time, Zhou Muhua did not take the wrong medicine, did not suffer from heavy bleeding, and survived.
She even recovered quite well. After lying in bed for about a week, she was able to get out of bed and walk around.
By the time Director Xu and the others had finished investigating their case, she was already able to go to the village entrance to chat about gossip.
When You Dali heard that it was the people from their Xiaoshi Village who reported Director Xu to prison, she had been coming over to chat with him these past few days.
"Did you hear that the guy named Xu was sentenced to fifteen years?"
"ah?"
Lu Xing and the others were a little surprised. "Is the sentence so severe? How many years did the doctor get?"
"Thirty years. I heard he had to return all his wages because he got the job with a fake ID."
"Thirty years? Wow."
Seventy years old is considered a long life in the village these days. But the doctor is already in his forties. He's been locked up for thirty years, and it's unclear whether he'll live to be discharged.
They didn't think there was anything wrong with sentencing the doctor to so many years in prison. After all, it was he who gave the poisonous medicine to Zhou Muhua, and no one knew how many people he had harmed when he was a doctor.
Because doctors are the ones who harm more people, what Director Xu did most was to take advantage of his position to arrange relatives to be involved and make money through various means.
But the villagers don’t know the details.
"Why was Xu sentenced to fifteen years?"
If we talk about who is annoying, the people in Xiaoshi Village still think Director Xu is more annoying.
She's only been here a short time, and she's already made a ton of money. If she hadn't gotten relatives who had no medical training to join her, the doctor wouldn't have had the chance to exploit anyone.
Because Director Xu and the doctor both belong to the Birth Control Office, the punishment for them must be handled by the provincial government.
Even You Dali, who thought she had a wide network of contacts, could only find out the approximate sentence.
Everyone sitting under the big tree looked at You Dali eagerly, hoping that she would reveal some more inside information, preferably explaining why Director Xu's sentence was lighter than that of the doctor.
You Dali stood there thinking for a long time, but she really didn't know any other news.
"It's not that easy to find out. I asked around and only managed to find out this little bit of information."
Lu Xing: "Actually, I also heard something. After the director was arrested, her family seemed to have found their way here."
In fact, I heard the news from the system. When Director Xu's family came to visit, the system broadcast it to her live.
The fact that the two of them were captured significantly increased Lu Xing's mission progress. The exploration level directly reached 55%, and the system's functions were also upgraded.
Director Xu's family came to visit and happened to encounter the newly upgraded function of the system, so Lu Xing saw a live broadcast, just like watching TV.
"I heard that the director hasn't sent a cent of her salary home in all these years, and her family has to ask her parents for money."
"And if a relative wanted to use their connections to get into the company, they would have to pay her a bribe. Then she helped them make fake certificates and got several relatives into the company."
"After she went to jail, those relatives were also investigated and fired. Then they went to Director Xu's parents and asked them to return the money."
"Her parents couldn't come up with that much money, so they brought people to her workplace. They thought if the money wasn't at home, it should be at her workplace, but in the end, the family couldn't find it."
Several people quickly asked, "What's going on? She made so much money, but she didn't keep it at home. Could it be that she just disappeared out of thin air?"
If Lu Xing didn't have a system, it would be hard for him to imagine that the director had found a lover in such a short time in this town.
"When she came to our town, she found a lover and left all her money with him."
This shocked everyone.
After all, Director Xu has come here so many times, and he always looks serious and not easy to mess with. Does he have a lover outside?
You Dali became excited after hearing this. "Is the lover from our town? Who is he? I'll go ask around."
"It was one of the young men who came to arrest people. I don't know which one it was. Now that he's been arrested, there's no one to ask."
The system really doesn't know, because those who knew about it have been arrested. When Director Xu's family came to the door, everyone was busy distancing themselves from the matter. Who would take the initiative to admit that they were related to her?
Judging from what that family said, they probably want to break off the relationship with Director Xu, and her husband will also divorce her and take the children with him.
When she comes out, she will be alone.
After chatting about all this gossip, everyone forgot about the sentencing and started gossiping about who was most likely the lover of Xu.
Some say it's the one who looks the youngest, while others say it's the one who looks the strongest.
Yu Dali whispered beside her, "Who says you can only have one lover? She makes so much money, maybe she has many."
This sentence made everyone silent.
When she returned home that night, Lian Hua was still discussing this with Lu Xing, "How many lovers do you think she has found?"
"How would I know? She's arresting people, fining them, and looking for lovers. Where does she find so much time?"
"Too."
I don't know what Lianhua was thinking, but the topic turned to her son again. "You said that Mr. Xu is gone, so does that mean there won't be any more arrests for having more children than allowed?"
"Do you think I can have another lovely granddaughter?"
Lu Xing glanced at her, and he didn't expect that the harsh punishment before didn't stop her from thinking. "Xu was arrested, but it's not like the higher-ups won't send people."
"What are you thinking? Those who have more children than allowed should be arrested. How many have been arrested in other villages? If they are caught, they will be aborted. That will cause great harm to the body."
"Besides, Wang Fang has an IUD, isn't this a matter for the two of them? Stop imagining things."
That being said, whether or not it works depends on Lianhua herself.
In short, after Director Xu went in, their village finally became a little more peaceful.
————
I don’t know if it’s due to the wave of layoffs, but there are a lot more young people doing business in the town recently.
Some people rode bicycles with two large baskets tied to the seats, which contained small commodities for sale.
With the help of bicycles, they can go to faraway places, and they have been to Xiaoshi Village several times.
Although the things sold are a bit expensive, there are still many people willing to buy them without having to travel all the way to town.
One day, a man carrying a load came to the village. The villagers thought he was also here to do some small business, so they came over to him.
Unexpectedly, he was holding a hand bell and shouting as he walked, "Rabbit fur for money, rabbit fur for money."
"Six yuan a pound, six yuan a pound."
Seeing the villagers coming to watch the fun, he enthusiastically struck up a conversation, "Fellow villagers, who here raises rabbits? I'm buying rabbit fur, six yuan per pound."
It turned out to be a rabbit fur collector. People in Xiaoshi Village had never heard of such a business.
When they heard the purchase price was six yuan, the already curious people immediately started calculating. This sounded like a very profitable deal. "Do you want a lot of rabbit fur? Or wild rabbit fur? When do you buy it? What are the standards?"
Seeing that the people in Xiaoshi Village looked like they had never heard of this, the man knew that probably no one in the village raised rabbits anymore. But he was not in a hurry to leave because he was collecting rabbit fur and selling angora rabbits at the same time. If he sold a few more rabbits, he could make a lot of money.
So he was happy to answer those questions.
"My fellow countryman, I only accept this kind of white rabbit hair. I don't want any other rabbit hair." In order to let several people see more clearly, he took out a handful of rabbit hair from the bag.
The soft white rabbit fur seemed to emit the light of money under the sun.
Several people opened their eyes wide and looked carefully at the characteristics of the collected wool, fearing that they would miss the opportunity to make money.
"As for this rabbit, it's very simple to raise. Just put it in a cage and feed it some grass cut from the roadside every day. It doesn't need to be let out to roam like other chickens and ducks, and it's not prone to getting sick."
"Wait until the fur grows back, then cut it off. I come back every two months to collect the rabbit hair, because it takes at least two months for the rabbit hair to grow back after being shaved."
The others were busy calculating in their minds. A rabbit needs to be sheared once every two months, and ten rabbits can produce one kilogram of wool. Based on ten rabbits, they can earn an extra 36 yuan a year.
Moreover, it is easy to raise rabbits. It just requires more work to cut grass when going to the fields, but it does not affect Lu Yuan's business.
After a while, all the angora rabbits brought by the rabbit fur collectors were bought out by the people in Xiaoshi Village.
