Chapter 13: Think about it carefully
Lu Debang and Zhang Hongfa distributed food to Shen Meng and asked her to wait in the house. They had to go to the production team to get something and find a wooden board to carry her away. Shen Meng agreed happily.
When she went out, she saw the old people gathered at the door of Lu's house and waved her hand hurriedly.
"Go and get busy. Don't work hard. Come here to see the excitement. Don't call me when the food and meat are distributed at the end of the year."
Everyone looked at the village chief and those who knew what was good left first, while others walked slowly and looked at Lu's house.
On the way back to the production team, Lu Debang frowned and said, "Look, you want to compensate Zhenping's wife ten yuan and thirty kilograms of fine grains. Why didn't you discuss it with me and just make the decision directly? If others know about this, will they be willing?"
"Humph, so what if they are not willing? The production team's bull butted a person and almost killed him, and they didn't even hire a doctor. If this gets out, our Lujia Village production team will be famous in the commune. Zhenping can retire when he comes back, but don't forget that Zhenping knows people in the county government. If he makes a fuss, who will be responsible?"
Lu Debang was a little disapproving and pouted, "I think you think too much. Zhenping is a reasonable person."
"Let's be reasonable. His wife and the mother of his children were injured. He was out there defending his country. His family, his fellow villagers, and we who grew up with him watched him die without helping him. Do you think he would be willing to do that? Think about it carefully."
Lu Bangde was silent. He knew Lu Zhenping's temper. Sometimes he was really ruthless, which was really scary.
Zhang Hongfa saw that he was silent, sighed, and patted his shoulder.
"Debang, you should give face to the Buddha. Shen Meng is Zhenping's wife after all. She was injured by the production team's cow and we don't know whether she can survive. If the village cadres don't stand up for her at this time, how will the members see her? It's only because her parents are honest that they didn't make trouble to the commune. If you try someone else, he will definitely make a fuss and ask the production team to pay compensation! Besides, your nephew wants to be a soldier, but he is fifteen years old this year. If he joins the army..."
He didn't say the rest, but patted Lu Debang's shoulders twice. They were all young people as village cadres, and many relationships needed to be re-established. Things had to be done fairly, otherwise people would not be convinced.
At this time, Lu Debang's heart skipped a beat. Lu Mingyang and his children have grown up. If Shen Meng can't get over this hurdle, they will definitely leave a message for Lu Zhenping. Whether it will be good or bad depends on their performance.
Thinking of this, looking back at his previous attitude, he broke out in a cold sweat. In this day and age, one person serving in the army brings honor to the whole family. If you do well in the army, you will have a bright future. But sometimes, no matter how hard you work, you still have to find your own way.
"Yes, yes, I got it wrong. Hongfa, you're right. Let's go and get money and food for Zhenping's wife. Oh, let's see if the production team has any tickets that can be distributed and get some of them. I just heard that Uncle Shen and the others don't plan to go back tonight. Let's find someone to go to their home in Shenjiajie to deliver a message."
"Hahaha, OK, I'll listen to you." Zhang Hongfa smiled and pointed at Lu Debang. The two discussed how to move and deliver things for Shen Meng. He was thinking about asking the woman at home to bring something to see Shen Meng and then sell it at a good price.
Half an hour later, Shen Meng was lying on a shabby door panel and was carried back to her home. The people who stayed at Lu's house looked at her miserable half-dead appearance and began to believe what Wang Guizhi had said before.
Several people pointed at the old courtyard of the Lu family with their mouths leaking.
Zhou Jiaojiao moved from the spacious brick and tile house to the shabby house where Shen Meng lives now. The gap in her heart was more than a little bit. She had bought a lot of things before, which she bought with her savings bit by bit. Now they were all piled on the kang. She couldn't clean them up and had no place to put them. Her eyes were red with grievance.
Lu Jiaxuan looked at her and felt very distressed.
"Don't be sad, Jiaojiao. I will make you some cabinets later. The house that mother built for us when we got married is also very spacious. Let's move there later!"
Zhou Jiaojiao frowned slightly and shook her head gently.
"No, it's almost autumn, and my parents are old, so the house should be for them. We are young and strong, so we should live here. We can find some newspapers to paste on the windows, and we can live in this house after cleaning it up."
Lu Jiaxuan looked at his sensible daughter-in-law, and his heart was soft.
"Jiaojiao, you have been wronged."
"No, as long as I am with you and we live a good life together, I will not be wronged."
Zhou Jiaojiao did not want to move to Liu Sanjin's house. She and Lu Jiaxuan lived a sweet life. They only came to the old house for dinner and were casual when they were fooling around. Living in the old house is different. If you make a little noise, others will hear it.
She was planning to ask her parents-in-law to build a yard for their fourth room, even if it was an adobe house, so that they could live their own lives behind closed doors, that would be fun!
Liu Sanjin lived comfortably in the big house. Seeing her youngest son and daughter-in-law move back, she felt distressed, but she didn't want to move to the old house. She saw that the roof would collapse if it wasn't repaired. It happened that Lu Jiaxuan told her that Zhou Jiaojiao didn't want to move in, saying that she was old and needed to live more comfortably.
Liu Sanjin was deeply moved. She once again felt that Zhou Jiaojiao, her youngest daughter-in-law, was considerate. Shen Meng, that little bitch, was just a debt collector. When her eldest son Lu Zhenping came back, she would definitely let Zhenping divorce her.
Shen Meng didn't know what was happening here. She was now talking to the village chief's sister-in-law Tian Guihua and the party secretary's mother Chen Jinling. The two of them came here together, holding eggs, brown sugar, and some dried vegetables in their hands.
"Good child, take good care of yourself, you will get better. Your Mingkai is still so young, he can't be without a mother. If you have any problems in the future, just come to me and I
will take care of it for you." "Yes, sister, I didn't know your life was so hard before. Everyone was busy earning work points. Some people are cruel. They have no ability but just want to take advantage of others. Don't worry, my brother-in-law is the village chief. Although he is young, he is fair and will not let our fellow villagers suffer."
Both of them had something to ask for in their hearts. They tried every way to say nice things to Shen Meng. However, nice words were only one thing, and they really wanted to make friends with her. After experiencing life and death, he was still able to get his house back. He was a smart man.
"Oh, I made fun of my sister-in-law and aunt. I can get my child's house back now, thanks to the two leaders. When my son Zhenping comes back, I will ask him to find the village head and the party secretary to thank them."
After hearing what Shen Meng said, Tian Guihua and Chen Jinling looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. Don't say thank you, just don't hate them for not helping to find a doctor before.
