Chapter 88 Kitten
Boss Lu tried his best to catch up with the gangsters but failed. When he went to find his son, his son had already started a fight with the gangsters.
Fortunately, he arrived earlier than Lu Chengsheng and went to the police station to report the incident before the gangsters.
By the time Lu Chengsheng arrived at the county, the gangsters who didn't want to take responsibility had already confessed everything, including the fact that Lu Chengsheng had paid them.
Lu Chengsheng was not too panicked when he was arrested because he gave cash and left no evidence, and his appearance was more credible than that of the gang.
So when the police questioned him, he was still thinking about what to eat in the evening.
He was right; there was no evidence to prove that he was involved.
Lu Chengsheng was released after being detained in the police station. After the falling out, he no longer planned to plot anything, and simply hired a few idle people to hang around Xiaoshi Village.
They just hang around Boss Lu's land and don't have to do anything else. If someone drives them away, they will come back the next day.
This move doesn't do much damage, but it's very effective.
Boss Lu was so annoyed that he couldn't even till the land, and the vegetables he planted were all wilted.
Just then, they ran into someone coming to inspect the area. Boss Lu saw his brother standing next to the inspector and saw his pretentious demeanor. The anger that had been pent up for days suddenly erupted. "Boss, I'm going to expose my brother for illegally buying and selling land."
"ah?"
Before the leader could ask, Lu Chengsheng spoke up, "Leader, I want to report this, too. I want to expose my brother for using agricultural land as a cemetery."
There are two types of land: state-owned land and collective land.
The land of Xiaoshi Village belongs to the village collective. At that time, when the production team was still earning centimeters, the land in the village was only divided into work areas.
In the 1980s, the production brigades were abolished and the land was distributed to each household. However, in name, the land still belonged to the village collective. Each household only had the right to use it, and buying and selling it was prohibited.
Boss Lu and the village chief thought about it for a long time before coming up with this idea. Since they couldn't sue him for digging up his father's grave, they could only find a way to buy and sell the cemetery.
It can also divert the attention of those who come to investigate.
Lu Chengsheng originally wanted to push his brother into a desperate situation and then propose to spend money to buy a grave. At that time, his brother would definitely agree for the sake of his wife and children.
I didn't expect that such a good idea would be exposed before it was implemented.
When he heard that Boss Lu had actually reported him, he thought he had to get back at him somehow and falsely accused him of misappropriating agricultural land.
Land can be divided into agricultural land, construction land and unused land according to its use.
Agricultural land can only be used for agriculture-related purposes and cannot be used for other purposes.
However, Xiaoshi Village is located in the mountains and there are no large tracts of land. The current fields are all reclaimed by the villagers. Most of the fields are on the mountains and the soil quality is also very poor.
The current harvest is all thanks to the villagers carrying loads of manure up the mountain.
So at the beginning this land was not considered agricultural land, but was classified as grassland and belonged to the unused land.
Compared with the problem of cemeteries, the problem of buying and selling land is more serious.
The investigators' attention was indeed diverted.
Boss Lu was released very quickly. After all, the land in Xiaoshi Village was unused land and not agricultural land, so there was no misappropriation.
Lu Chengsheng thought that he would be released soon, just like before.
As a result, he was locked up there.
His deal with the big boss was exposed, and the police called the big boss to find out what happened. The big boss put all the blame on him without hesitation.
Now he couldn't escape the charge of intending to buy and sell land. Lu Chengsheng wouldn't be able to get out in the short term, and he would have no time to cause trouble for Boss Lu.
Lu Chengsheng not only didn't make the money he wanted to, but was also arrested. Now his reputation in Xiaoshi Village is ruined, and he probably won't be able to come back.

After this incident, the people in Xiaoshi Village developed a new habit: they would go to their ancestors' graves for a stroll whenever they had nothing to do, for fear that some unscrupulous person would dig up the graves.
Lu Xing had nothing better to do, so she went for a stroll. The main reason was that the tombstone she had ordered was finally finished and would be delivered in two days.
She has been weeding and tidying up the ground these days.
She hasn't had much to do recently. She has almost finished the work in the fields, and the chickens and pigs at home are doing well.
The little fox she met before hadn't come to her to beg for food for a long time. She didn't know if it was scared by the people who came to find Lu Xing, or if it had become accustomed to life in the wild and would not come back.
Lu Xing is still not used to the little fox disappearing for so long.
After seeing the little black dog in Liu Hehua's family, she wondered whether she should also get a dog.
Generally, when raising a dog, you just look around and see which dog in the village has given birth to puppies and then pick one up. However, after looking around, Lu Xing didn't like any dog in the village.
Liu Hehua suggested that she go to the animal market on the day of the big market. They not only sell cattle and sheep, but also cats and dogs, all of which are raised by their families.
It was Lu Xing's first time at such a market, and she was immediately struck by a foul odor the moment she entered. The old man at the gate glanced at her and pointed the way expertly, "Go left for cats and dogs, and right for cattle and sheep."
The people setting up stalls are all villagers from nearby. They don’t have money to buy cages when they set up stalls, so some people put their dogs in bags and just let them breathe from time to time to keep them alive.
Some people who are worried that the dog cannot bear it will put it in a basket, cover it with a cloth to block the sun, and put water in the basket.
If someone comes to see the dog, they will lift the cloth to let people see.
Lu Xing walked around and found that there were mainly two types of dogs on sale: hunting dogs and guard dogs.
Most of the puppies had just been weaned and were already very alert. When Lu Xing approached, they kept barking.
Watching them chasing people away seriously, with their calls still having a baby tone, it's not too annoying and even a little cute.
But the puppies were very cautious, and Lu Xing was refused when she wanted to touch one. Although the seller said that the dog would become familiar after a few days of raising it, she still wanted to buy one that she liked.
After walking around a bit, she noticed a dog seller's clothes were bulging. "Hey, what's in your clothes? Why don't you take them out and sell them together?"
The dog seller looked like a teenager, still a child. "Grandma, I have newborn kittens here, they can't be shown to you."
"Just given birth? Then how did you bring it out?"
This seemed to be talking about the child's sad story, and he was almost crying, "Because my father wants to sell all of Huahua's children."
"My dog gave birth to too many puppies. My dad said he couldn't afford to keep them and wanted to sell them all."
Lu Xing looked at his basket. There were about six puppies in it, all of them were sleeping soundly and looked very healthy.
"No wonder you have so many puppies. Why did you sell the cat as well?"
There is also a spotted cat lying on the puppy. It looks like a big cat.
Unexpectedly, the child pulled the basket towards him and said, "This cat is not for sale."
"After Mimi gave birth to the kittens, she refused to eat or drink for some reason. I wanted to use the money from selling the dog to pay for Mimi's medical treatment."
"Mimi is so good. After it came to our house, there have been no more mice."
The child touched the cat in the basket with heartache. His cat Mimi had lost a lot of weight recently.
"Then will you sell the kitten in your arms?"
"Me?"
The kitten's head popped out from its clothes, not sure if it was to cool down or to see who wanted to buy it.
The child covered the kitten's head, feeling a little reluctant.
Lu Xing continued to persuade, "Even if your Mimi is cured, she won't have much energy to raise a kitten. Why don't you sell it to me and I'll take it home. You can come to my house to see it when you're free."
"I also want to buy the little yellow dog with white ears."
She just looked around and found that it had the best temper among the six dogs. The big cat stepped on its head and lay on its belly, but it didn't move at all.
It didn't make a sound when Lu Xing picked it up. It opened its eyes and looked around. When it found its little master was there, it lay down in Lu Xing's arms and continued to sleep.
The child couldn't bear to part with the kittens and puppies, but he wanted to cure the big cat's illness more.
"Can I actually come to your house and see them?"
"Sure, my family is from Xiaoshi Village. When you enter the village, just ask where Lu Xing's family is."
"Okay, my family is from Xiaohe Village. My father raises chickens in the mountains. Grandma, if you want to eat pheasant, you can buy it from my family."
In the end, Lu Xing spent twenty yuan to bring the cat and the dog home.
