Lu Zhiye spoke for a long time and repeatedly assured that he could handle Meng Deyi, and only then did Yan Wenqing agree to wait a moment.
Before leaving, Yan Wenqing took out a small cloth bag and handed it to Lu Zhiye, saying with tears in his eyes: "This is the savings I have accumulated over the years.
Take it and buy more of He He's favorite food."
Lu Zhiye looked at the thick package and wanted to refuse, but then he saw Yan Wenqing's eager expression.
He swallowed the words back when they came to his lips, then walked out quickly with his bag.
Meng Yiguo was sitting at the door smoking. When he heard the noise inside, he quickly stood up.
Lu Zhiye walked up to him and stood still, saying, "I will help you connect with the Fang family.
But you also have to promise not to do anything that harms the interests of the Fang family."
Meng Yiguo flicked the cigarette butt in his hand away and said with a smile: "Although my last name is Meng Yiguo, I would never do anything unscrupulous."
"You'd better keep your word."
After Lu Zhiye said this, he turned and left.
Meng Yiguo looked at his receding back and couldn't help but sneer. After all, he was from a small city.
If the Fang family really wants to cooperate with him, they will definitely investigate him thoroughly.
How could they just cooperate with Lu Zhiye with just a few words?
What Meng Yiguo could not have expected was that just based on Lu Zhiye's few words, someone invited him over that night.
When Lu Zhiye stuffed the package into the space and was about to return to the state-owned hotel, he suddenly saw the wooden box on the ground.
Thinking of his previous plan, Lu Zhiye took out ten kilograms of rice from the space and walked towards the old man's house.
As soon as I reached the door, I heard some banging and crashing inside.
"You old man, you still have money to buy medicine? Do you have any good things hidden at home? Take them all out!"
A man's nonchalant and slightly cruel voice sounded.
This made Lu Zhiye's face turn cold.
The door was half-open. An old man in the yard had bruises all over his face and was lying on the ground, breathing heavily.
The old lady collapsed under the eaves, crying bitterly.
The two men searched the yard for a while, and the house was turned upside down.
Since he really didn't find anything valuable, he got angry and kicked the old man a few more times.
Lu Zhiye shouted: "The red armbands are coming!"
Then he flashed into the space.
The two men looked panicked, looked at each other, and hurried to the door.
But as soon as they arrived at the door, Lu Zhiye hit them one by one with a big hammer.
Then he put it in a sack and threw it into the yard.
He carried two grown men in his hands as easily as if they were chickens.
Then he punched and kicked the two of them with such force that the two people who had fainted couldn't help but cry out in pain.
After doing all this, Lu Zhiye turned around, walked into the yard, and helped the old man up.
"Are you all right?"
To be honest, Lu Zhiye couldn't understand why the two didn't report to the police and have them arrested, as their behavior showed that they were hooligans.
The old man stood up with the help of Lu Zhiye's arm, and quickly ran to the eaves to help his wife up.
He looked at Lu Zhiye with eyes full of gratitude, staggered to a chair in the corner, and groped for a while.
"Here's the dozen dollars left from buying medicine. You saved our old bones today, so take this money. Thank you so much."
Lu Zhiye pushed the money the old man handed over back: "I just can't bear it. This money is for me to buy books. You deserve it. Don't mind it."
Seeing that he was determined not to accept it, the old man put on a bitter smile and said, "Young man, you should leave quickly. These two people are used to bullying others.
If he knew it was you who did it, he probably wouldn't let it go."
After hearing what he said, Lu Zhiye also asked the doubts in his heart.
The old man sat on the chair with great effort and said, "Our status is not a good one.
I didn't tell you before because I was afraid of causing trouble.
Although there is now a house that has been returned by the higher-ups, it is still normal for these people to come and make trouble every now and then.
The neighborhood office is too lazy to take care of these things. We are old and we just have to bear the hardship.
You can’t be caught by them, go away quickly…”
The old man's tone was a little anxious, fearing that Lu Zhiye would be implicated by them.
Lu Zhiye was silent for a long while, looking at the old man with burning eyes. He originally thought that he might not be willing to go to Dahe Village.
Now it seems that there is nothing good about this place.
"I don't know what to call you yet."
The old man laughed at himself and said, "Just call me Old Han."
"Uncle Han, I have something to say, but I don't know whether I should say it or not."
"you say!"
"Have you and Grandma Han ever thought about leaving Jing City?
Go to a place where no one knows you and start a new life.
It’s better than the current situation.”
Old Han glanced at his wife, pounded his legs and said with a smile, "I'm old, and I don't want to go anywhere.
It is said that fallen leaves return to their roots, but we won’t live for many more years.
By guarding this house, at least I have a place to go."
When Lu Zhiye saw the momentary emotion on Old Han's face, he secretly became cautious.
It seems that this is just Old Han's excuse and the real reason has not been revealed.
He coughed lightly and said, "Uncle Han, I came here this time to ask you if you want to join our team.
As you know, our brigade has built an orchard, and some problems cannot be solved by relying solely on notes and books.
We still need professionals like you to overcome this problem.”
There was a hint of coaxing in Lu Zhiye's tone. In his opinion, a person who was so persistent in his professional books.
He will definitely be interested in this. Sure enough, Lu Zhiye saw a struggle in old Han's eyes.
But soon that fleeting light gradually dissipated.
Seeing that Lu Zhiye invited him sincerely, Old Han no longer concealed his difficulties.
"We have thought about what you said, but once we leave, the house may not belong to us anymore.
My wife is hoping that our son will remember this house and find it back when the time comes."
There was a flash of surprise in Lu Zhiye's eyes. He thought of many reasons, such as their limited identities and inability to go to the countryside.
I never thought this was the reason. Yes, housing is tight in the city now. Once they leave, someone else may move in the next day.
Lu Zhiye pondered for a moment and whispered a few words into Old Han's ear.
Old Han was delighted and asked eagerly, "Really?"
Lu Zhiye nodded. Since Meng Yiguo wanted him to cooperate, it wouldn’t be too much for him to ask him to do this little favor, right?
Moreover, the house has a good location, which is convenient for Meng Yiguo to do his daily work, so it is not a loss to rent it.
