Chapter 1262 Fairness
"Comrade Li, please take a seat."
“Hey, hey!”
Tian Guihua brought a clean teacup and Lu Miao brewed tea for her personally.
She invited Li Dachui to sit down, but Li Dachui just responded without daring to actually sit down.
Lu Miao wore a white coat and a black long skirt. Although she had a quiet and bookish air, there was an indescribable charm about her whole body.
It just makes people feel that there is a certain majesty in her calmness that makes people dare not act rashly.
Due to his special status as a returnee, Li Dachui was inevitably restricted in his actions.
Only after Lu Miao put down the kettle and sat down did he put the bag of apples beside his legs and then sit down facing her at the side of the small table.
Lu Miao was calm and composed, pushing the brewed tea towards Li Dachui along the table:
"I brought some tea back from Jingbei. I don't know if they sell it in the village. You can try it."
"Why!"
Li Dachui laughed dryly and nodded, then picked up the teacup and blew on it.
When it comes to tea tasting, Li Dachui doesn't understand.
But his reaction was pure.
After blowing away the tea leaves on the surface, he endured the heat and took a sip. Li Dachui was immediately surprised:
“This tea is so fragrant!”
There are tea mountains in the village. Every year around Grain Rain, young girls and wives from every family go to the tea mountains to pick tea.
Li Dachui also drank tea in the past.
But this kind of scented tea was the first time he had seen it.
Li Dachui was less reserved. He picked up the teacup and blew on it with a curious look on his face, then took a few more sips despite the heat.
Lu Miao saw this and couldn't help but smile faintly.
Character is revealed in the details.
When speaking, just express your intuitive feelings instead of flattering others and giving long speeches about how good the tea is.
It can be seen at the outset that this person is most likely an honest and loyal person.
Lu Miao smiled lightly and took the initiative to say:
"Thank you for making this trip today..."
Li Dachui put down his teacup and waved his hand, looking like he wanted to say something, but Lu Miao didn't give him a chance to speak and continued with a smile:
"But everything has to come to an end. We're in the process of handling this now. I wonder if Mr. Li would like to hear a few words from me?"
When Li Dachui heard her talking about serious matters, his back straightened instantly.
He clasped his hands together, resting his elbows on the table. He put aside his curiosity about the tea leaves and nodded solemnly.
"You say."
Lu Miao took a sip of tea and smiled calmly:
"The government will only issue relevant policies based on the actual situation. There is no problem with you following the rules and regulations. However, sometimes you need to be flexible during work, and many situations cannot be generalized."
"Let's not talk about the child's pity for now. But everyone knows that giving birth is like stepping one foot into the gates of hell. The fetus's bones are already formed at eight months old. If you force it at this time..."
Lu Miao didn't finish his words directly, he just put down the teacup and said in a roundabout way:
"We must always consider the safety of the adults."
“…Yes, that’s what you said.”
Li Dachui understood what she meant and knew that she was right, but he was also in a difficult position.
This matter must either be resolved now or a fine must be paid later.
Not to mention whether the Ma family can afford the fine, which is several hundred or one or two thousand yuan, who in the village can afford it?
If this matter is not carried out properly, they will not be able to complete their mission.
Li Dachui frowned.
Lu Miao saw his embarrassment and smiled and said again:
"Don't be so stressed about this. I've learned about the Ma family's situation. They already have one child, but it's a girl who's already three years old, which qualifies them for a second. When I learned about this, I had them apply for a new birth permit, and it's expected to be approved within the next two days..."
Li Dachui paused, then realized what was happening and quickly asked:
"really?"
Seeing that his attitude had softened, Lu Miao nodded slightly and said:
"Rules are rigid, but reality also requires flexibility. If you're willing to give them this opportunity, you might as well wait a couple of days before checking again. Few people in the village can read and write, and they have even fewer opportunities to access policy information. They didn't know they could apply before, and although they've now used some connections to complete the application, I certainly can't make things difficult for you, ahem..."
After saying too many words at once, Lu Miao gasped and coughed twice.
He patted his chest to calm down and continued:
"They can't take out the money, but they still have some food. Let them keep enough to last until next season's harvest, and hand over the rest. It's both a punishment and support for your work. Do you think this is okay?"
"this……"
Li Dachui looked away, then turned back to look at Lu Miao.
Lu Miao has a strong background, and Li Dachui had already prepared himself mentally before coming.
His kindness towards Lu Miao was genuine, and his fear of offending him was also genuine.
He was really afraid that Lu Miao would put pressure on him regarding the Ma family matter.
But now it seems that Li Dachui can finally put his mind at ease.
Knowing that Lu Miao had intervened, but was merely mediating, Li Dachui relaxed a bit and told her the truth:
"As long as they meet the requirements and have the paperwork, it's not a violation! It's just this one thing..."
Li Dachui hesitated to speak.
Lu Miao nodded his chin lightly, and then he continued:
"As you said, if they did get the documents, it was because of your relationship. This is somewhat unfair to other people in the village who are in the same situation."
Lu Miao nodded.
That's true.
That's why when she was communicating with the Ma family last night, she showed an attitude that she would make the Ma family bleed heavily no matter what.
However, Li Dachui did not agree with her proposal of fining people with grain.
When talking to him, Lu Miao heard the hidden meaning and handed over the initiative:
"So, how do you think we should handle this matter?"
Just like Lu Miao's calm attitude, he had no intention of putting pressure on others from beginning to end.
Li Dachui was grateful for this and naturally would not make things difficult for her.
Li Dachui said:
"I can't just tell you how to deal with it. They happen to be here, so why not have them come over and listen together?"
Fu Jingyou moved a small stool and sat in the aisle between the doors of the main room and the kitchen.
Hearing this, he looked at Lu Miao.
After Lu Miao nodded, he went to call Shuangxi and his wife.
The Ma family knew that the inspection team would come today, and they also knew that they would definitely look for them.
So even though they were afraid of confronting these people, Shuangxi and Ma Jianshe still followed them to the Fu family when they returned from the county.
The couple stood in the kitchen with their child. Li Dachui straightened his back and immediately resumed his official tone.
Lu Miao knew that he wanted to establish his authority so that it would be easier for him to act in the village in the future.
Therefore, not only did he not point it out, he also showed him enough courtesy and respect in front of others, and just smiled warmly at Shuangxi and his wife and said:
"Captain Li has already made up his mind about your matter. He called you here just to listen. Don't be nervous."
Shuangxi and Ma Jianshe looked at each other and nodded hurriedly.
