Chapter 161 Ugly People Often Cause Mischief
In the dim light, this originally dilapidated courtyard has become popular.
The Shen family built a low fence to enclose the open space outside their four rooms into a small courtyard, and also covered the roof with a layer of straw mat made of hay.
Several children were chasing each other and playing in the small yard of the Shen family. The children's laughter made people feel happy.
Chief Justice Lu couldn't help but watch Shen Zhe and the others playing with a smile on his face.
But when he turned to look at Wang Tao's house again, the smile on his face immediately disappeared.
Almost all the families in this yard have cleaned up their houses to some extent, except Wang's house which is still in ruins. He knows without thinking that his family must have suffered a lot from the heavy rain in the past two days.
"Chief Lu, look, the tillage tools placed under his house are those taken out by the Armoury. They say that Chen Xiao took them back, but who knows how he got them?" Wang Tao rolled his eyes and added fuel to the fire, even hinting that Chen Xiao had dirty hands.
Chief Justice Lu glanced at him, said nothing, and walked towards the Shen family yard.
Shen Qingqian and the others were surprised to hear Wang Tao's words. Why did Wang Tao call Chief Lu?
Seeing Chief Justice Lu coming over, and Wang Tao following behind him with a gloating expression on his face, everyone in the Shen family immediately understood.
"Chief Lu, come here." Shen Jun, the oldest male in the Shen family at the time, immediately stepped forward and greeted him.
Chief Justice Lu is called Lu An, and he was born and raised here.
Seeing that the Shen family was a little nervous, he smiled and said, "Nothing, I just heard that Mr. Qin from the Military Equipment Bureau made something good, but he asked Shen Xiao to bring it home. I happened to have some time, so I came to take a look."
Old Qin has some reputation in the army, and what happened in the Military Equipment Bureau yesterday has spread throughout the camp today.
Lu An had also served as a vanguard soldier and was very clear about the role of weapons in the army. So after learning about this, he became interested in what Old Qin had made. He had originally wanted to take some time to come and take a look, but he didn't expect that Wang Tao, that idiot, would bring him here first.
When Shen Jun heard that he came here for this, he felt relieved. He immediately smiled and took out the three-toothed harrow and the improved moldboard plow. "They are all here. Feel free to look at them."
Lu An nodded and was about to take a closer look when Wang Tao stopped him with his hand, "No, Chief Lu, why don't you come over here?"
"Nothing." Chief Constable Lu glared at him coldly. "I think you're just too idle. You haven't even taken care of your own business, but you keep your eyes on others all day! Don't start clearing the land anymore. Go work in the mine tomorrow!"
After saying this, he stopped paying attention to Wang Tao, picked up the three-toothed rake and tried it out. He was immediately delighted and said, "This is a good thing!"
He also came from a farming family and knew very well what was the most tiring part of working in the fields, so he understood the benefits of the three-toothed rake just by carrying its weight. After trying to dig a few times, he was even more certain that this thing would definitely be of great help to farmers.
This thing is obviously a new design. It has three sharp teeth at the front end, and the middle end is similar to a hoe. It can turn the soil and dig, but its main function is still turning the soil and loosening it.
Lu An is a smart man. He knows that Old Qin would not give things to the Shen family casually. Since he gave it to the Shen family, there must be something else going on.
He tried the improved moldboard plow again and soon said goodbye and left.
Shen Jun and others will politely send him away.
When Wang Tao heard that he would be working in the mine tomorrow, he froze in the Shen family yard. He only came to his senses after Chief Lu left.
However, the Shen family did not welcome him. Shen Yong pushed him out of the yard and snorted coldly, "Ugly people often do bad things!"
Wang Tao didn't care about Shen Yong's words at all, his mind was full of the thought that he would have to do hard labor in the mine starting tomorrow!
The Shen family didn’t know when Wang Tao left, but Sheng Ze and Ling Yun came back not long after.
