Chapter 5: Meeting an old lady in the black market



The next day, Lu Zhiye had not yet gone to work.

The captain knew his situation and didn't say much.

After being lectured by his father, Lu Yong did not go to Lu Zhiye's house to cause trouble for him.

Lu Zhiye rode the team's ox cart to the county town.

Mr. Lu Sanye, who drives the ox cart, is the best person to Lu Zhiye among this group of people.

When his grandparents just passed away, he knelt in front of them and refused to eat or drink, only wishing that his grandmother would take him away with her.

It was Master Lu San who found out about this and sneaked over in the middle of the night with two hot mixed flour buns in his hands.

He slapped Lu Zhiye to wake him up: "What did your grandparents teach you? A man should stand tall and upright. Is there anything he can't overcome?"

Lu Zhiye looked at Master Lu San with red eyes, then suddenly threw himself into his arms and started crying.

Master Lu stroked his head, and a look of grief appeared on his old face: "It will all pass. Everything will pass. The right thing to do is to live on."

Later, Mr. Lu Sanye went to see the team leader in person. I don’t know what they talked about, but the next day, the team allowed Lu Zhiye to go to work as an adult male worker.

As long as you can complete the task, you can get full work points.

Unlike before, even if I worked hard to help my grandparents, I would still finish my own work.

The team only gave him two centimeters, which was considered a small score for a kid.

Lu Zhiye was grateful to Master Lu Sanye.

Mr. Lu grinned, revealing his missing front tooth, and said to Lu Zhiye with a smile: "Zhiye is going to the county town? Come quickly and sit next to me!"

When a few middle-aged women in the car saw Lu Zhiye coming, they all moved their butts in disgust.

I'm afraid of getting involved with this landlord's brat.

Lu Zhiye sat silently in front of the ox cart and quietly handed the dried meat that he had researched in the space last night to Master Lu San.

Mr. Lu San's eyes widened. He had always known that Lu Zhiye was very capable, otherwise he would not have lived safely from the age of twelve to sixteen.

But this is meat, even though it is only the length of a finger.

Master Lu put the dried meat into his pocket and shouted happily: "It's done!"

The shaking of the ox cart made Lu Zhiye drowsy, and he had been in the space processing roe deer meat most of the night before.

At this moment, he supported his head, squinted his eyes, and closed them to rest.

Originally, some people on the ox cart were concerned about Lu Zhiye and did not dare to speak.

But the road to the county town is too far.

Someone couldn't help but say, "Widow Wang and Old Man Liu from our village are having an affair. Did you know that?"

"How could I not know? The widow's daughter-in-law saw it with her own eyes. Oh, you don't know, when they were found, both of them were naked."

Some people had not heard of this incident and quickly came over to ask: "When did it happen?"

An old lady in a green headscarf said mysteriously, "You didn't know it yesterday afternoon, but there was a huge uproar in Widow Wang's family.

I heard that Widow Wang's son went to Old Man Liu's house, beat him up severely, and even said that this matter is not over yet. "

"Why would you hit someone's son?"

The lady in the green headscarf slapped her thigh and said, "You are stupid. How did you say that? Father is like son."

A deep male voice answered: "The son pays the father's debt."

"Ah, yes, yes, yes, it's the son who pays for his father's debt. His father did something wrong, so he has to be beaten, right?"

The lady with the green headscarf only realized who was talking after she finished speaking.

Her eyes rolled around. Was it the landlord's son who was talking just now?

Lu Zhiye didn't want to respond, but it's everyone's nature to love gossip, and both men and women like to join in the fun.

What's more, the voices of these aunties were so loud that he heard the whole story even in his sleepy state. When the aunties asked questions, he subconsciously responded.

The lady with the green headscarf was not as hostile to Lu Zhiye as the people who had always settled in Dahe Village.

She married into the village later, and there were also fights against landlords in their village.

He was beaten terribly. Seeing that Lu Zhiye became an orphan at such a young age, she felt a little sympathy for him.

She ignored the person next to her pulling at her clothes.

The lady in the green headscarf moved over and sat next to Lu Zhiye.

"Lu Zhiye, I didn't expect you to know so much at such a young age."

Lu Zhiye curled his lips slightly and smiled.

The lady in the green headscarf covered her chest and said: Wow, I never looked at this kid carefully before, I didn’t expect him to be so handsome!

If only her old man was half as good-looking as Lu Zhiye, she would slap herself in the face when they had a quarrel and would never slap her old man in the face again.

After finally calming down, I looked at Lu Zhiye next to me with his head buried in his arms, as if he had fallen asleep.

The lady in the green headscarf also tactfully moved next to her little sister.

I chatted with everyone in a low voice.

"Whoa!" Master Lu slightly tightened the rope: "We're here, at the same time as always, don't be too late!"

People on the ox cart got off one after another. Lu Zhiye also jumped off the cart, waved to Mr. Lu Sanye, and left.

The lady with the green headscarf went to the supply and marketing cooperative carrying a basket of eggs.

Lu Zhiye had been to the black market before. He would come here to exchange the prey he hunted in the mountains that he couldn't eat.

These days, only the brave ones will survive. As long as you have a sharp eye and reach out quickly enough to avoid being caught, you can basically live a rich life.

Lu Zhiye picked up a handful of dust from the road and smeared it on his face. He walked to the gate of an alley and paid the money. The man looked at the big bamboo basket that Lu Zhiye was carrying, which seemed to be quite heavy, and waved his hand to put it in.

Lu Zhiye found a corner to squat in and spread a piece of cloth on the ground.

The lady selling eggs nearby looked at the dark-skinned young man with curiosity.
