Chapter 1256: Details to be Announced Tomorrow
Fu Jingyou frowned with a worried look in his eyes, and then he cast a cold glance at the two men.
Perhaps she was frightened by his sharp eyes.
Or maybe he guessed that they were not ordinary.
The two men reluctantly let go.
Shuangxi seemed to be extremely frightened.
After breaking free from the restraints, he didn't even bother to get up. He rolled and crawled onto Lu Miao's legs. He looked around nervously and timidly, shaking badly.
This matter had nothing to do with Lu Miao, and He Hongjin didn't want her to get involved.
But in this situation, He Hongjin was afraid that the group of people from outside would come after Lu Miao, so he quickly stepped in front of them, spread his hands as if to protect his child, and said to those people with an apologetic smile:
"Ah, no, no, no, if you have something to say, just say it! There's nothing that can't be solved by talking it over. Don't be so angry..."
In this short period of time, Lu Miao had already helped Shuangxi up from the ground.
Brushing off the dust on Shuangxi's coat, Lu Miao glanced in the direction of the two men and asked softly:
"What's going on?"
"Sister-in-law Xiaoliu, I, I..."
Shuangxi's lips trembled, and a series of sobs rolled out of his throat, and he couldn't even utter a complete sentence.
She lowered her head with her shoulders shrugged, and Lu Miao saw that there were several wet marks in the shape of water droplets on her coat which was bulging out from her belly.
At first, Lu Miao just looked at her tears falling on her coat.
After his eyes gradually focused on her round belly, Lu Miao turned his head to take a closer look at the situation in front of him, and he instantly understood what was going on.
Isn’t that what we talked about at their doorstep that day?
This has been checked.
But, double happiness?
Lu Miao's thoughts were in a daze, and he couldn't come to his senses for a while.
Lu Miao had no time to think about the situation at the scene.
Shuangxi really had no choice.
The most capable village chief had just said all the nice things he could think of, but it was of no use.
Now, apart from Lu Miao, Shuangxi really doesn’t know who else can help her.
Thinking of this, Shuangxi's hands, black with tears and dust, tightly grasped Lu Miao, his eyes pleading as he lowered his knees and knelt down:
"Sister-in-law Xiaoliu, please help me! If I go today, I won't be able to survive!"
"Don't do this, get up first!"
Lu Miao hurriedly reached out to pull Shuangxi.
The person hadn't been pulled up yet, and while he was talking, another person knelt down in front of him.
It turned out to be Shuangxi's husband, Ma Jianshe from the village, who broke free from his restraints and ran over.
In terms of relationship, Ma Jianshe is Tianzao's cousin.
Ma Jianshe half-hugged Shuangxi and knelt in front of Lu Miao and Fu Jingyou:
"Sixth brother, sister-in-law! She's almost eight months old and really can't go! We have food at home, and there's still some food! Can you help me plead for her and fine her food? Fine her food, okay?"
As Ma Jianshe was speaking, his head banged against the ground.
The couple looked so miserable and pitiful that Lu Miao couldn't bear to watch and turned away.
She had a hard time pulling Shuangxi, how could she pull Ma Jianshe?
Fortunately, Fu Jingyou seemed to know what she was thinking. He stretched out his arms and lifted both Ma Jianshe and Shuangxi up from the ground.
"If there's something wrong, just say it! What's the point of kneeling all the time? We're slowly becoming a society ruled by law. At least if it's not a major offense, everyone will be reasonable."
The first sentence before Fu Jingyou's words was a scolding of Ma Jianshe and Shuangxi.
The latter sentence was said to those who came from outside the village.
As he spoke, he was about to hand Lu Miao over to He Hongjin, as if he was going to handle the matter himself.
But Lu Miao knew that the matter at hand was not that simple.
Even if she showed up in person, it might not end well.
If Fu Jingyou were to rely on himself, I'm afraid these people from outside would be even less willing to pay.
Lu Miao tightly grasped Fu Jingyou's hand that was supporting her, stopping him from moving forward.
If Shuangxi had approached her privately about this sort of thing, perhaps it would have been easier to discuss.
Now that it has come out in the open, not only is the inspection team here, but there are also people who followed from the city.
Making a public statement is a dead end.
That way you won't be able to secure double happiness, and you'll also get yourself into trouble.
How should this matter be handled?
Lu Miao frowned slightly, his brain working rapidly.
The weather hasn't gotten very hot yet, but it's already dark early.
Seeing that the sky, which had just seen the crimson sun, was now reduced to a half-glow of sunset, Lu Miao immediately had an idea in his mind.
One of her hands remained like driftwood, letting Shuangxi hold onto it. The other hand, however, she placed on the side of her head, pretending to be weak.
"I roughly know what it is. I've been running around all day and I'm a little tired. It's getting late, so let's do this..."
Lu Miao looked at the people coming from outside the village and said calmly:
"Come back tomorrow morning, and we'll discuss this matter in detail then."
As she spoke, most of her body weight leaned towards Fu Jingyou, and she took a step forward to signal Fu Jingyou to move forward.
But just as he took a step forward, those people followed him:
"You wait..."
"Hehe, hello comrades."
But before those people could say anything, the comrades who had escorted Lu Miao and the others back from the city stopped them from behind:
"The current situation is this: Comrade Lu has returned home from the capital to recuperate. We've already issued instructions from above, urging the city and county governments to coordinate effectively. Comrade Lu's recovery must not be disturbed unless absolutely necessary... You've seen her physical condition, and since we said we'd discuss this tomorrow, please come back tomorrow!"
The comrades from the city were not stupid, and they could tell what Lu Miao was thinking from her attitude.
So he continued to follow the trend with a gentle smile:
"It's only one night apart, and we're all born and raised here, so we can't go anywhere, right?"
The comrades from the city all had badges on their shoulders, and now the city and county had both been brought up. The people from the inspection team looked at each other in confusion, not daring to say anything more.
In the end, Captain Li Dachui gave in and withdrew his hand that was about to stop them, but he also said to everyone:
"It's really getting late today, so let's listen to the advice from our colleagues in the city and come back tomorrow! But I hope no one will take any chances on this matter, because no matter who breaks the rules, they will not be able to escape punishment in the end!"
After speaking these words in a resounding voice, Li Dachui nodded to his comrades from the city, bowed slightly in the direction of Lu Miao and Fu Jingyou, and then waved his hand and led the group out of the village.
Suddenly, an opening appeared in the crowd that had gathered around them.
On the other side of the crowd, Lu Miao breathed a sigh of relief, gave Shuangxi and Ma Jianshe a look, and she and Fu Jingyou walked ahead.
Shuangxi and Ma Jianshe also reacted at this time. After hurriedly wiping away their tears, they supported each other and followed quickly behind.
