The three exchanged glances; perhaps that was true.
In some homes, the kang (heated brick bed) has a hidden secret.
He didn't say anything and helped clean up the things on the kang (a heated brick bed). Things that could be put in boxes were put in boxes, and things that couldn't fit were just thrown on the ground.
Lu Yuan and Wen Moxue frowned as they watched.
The two of them kept quiet and picked up the things from the ground, placing them on the desk.
After cleaning the kang (a heated brick bed) and lifting the mat, the three members of the Revolutionary Committee, along with Zhang Yuping and Sun Changsheng, spent at least ten minutes tapping and rummaging through the kang, but found nothing unusual.
Wen Moxue was getting impatient.
"Is it not ready yet? How long will it take?"
Lu Yuan also said, "Don't bother looking. There's nothing on this kang except for the farts I used to fart and the urine of my virgin son."
Everyone: "Hahahaha..."
The five people who were lying down to examine him turned red in the face and got up reluctantly.
Zhang Yuping, however, was still unwilling to give up.
"Even if there's nothing wrong with the kang (heated brick bed), there must be places in the walls or floor of this room where things are hidden."
Sun Changsheng nodded repeatedly in agreement, "Yes, yes, let's take another look at the walls and the floor."
The Revolutionary Committee members didn't want to miss such a good opportunity either; they also wanted to find out something.
Without hesitation, I continued inspecting the walls and floor.
Another ten minutes or so passed as they continued hammering and banging.
Before Lu Yuan and Wen Moxue could even speak, the people at the door couldn't wait any longer.
"You can't inspect it like this. I think you should just knock down the walls of this room."
Once one person spoke up, the others joined in the commotion.
"Dig up the ground too."
"I think we should just demolish the house; that would make the inspection much easier."
Everyone chattered and laughed, their comments laced with sarcasm.
They also realized that Zhang Yuping was just slandering them; Lu Yuan and his wife had nothing to hide.
If she called the Revolutionary Committee, she probably thought they would arrest her without any explanation, so she could take the opportunity to embezzle the good things her daughter-in-law's family sent.
The three members of the Revolutionary Committee returned empty-handed, and, full of anger, took Zhang Yuping to the commune.
They said they would be giving him a week of educational criticism.
They almost took Sun Changsheng with them, but because he was the brigade leader and he was complaining that he had been tricked by Zhang Yuping into going to the commune to find them, they let him go only after his wife killed a chicken to treat the three of them.
Once the group left, the matter was considered closed, but the crowd didn't disperse.
Then she remembered that Lu Yuan had returned in a tractor.
Lu Yuan also remembered this and hurriedly ran out of the yard.
Seeing that Wang Fengnian hadn't left, but was instead standing on the tractor craning his neck to watch the excitement and chatting enthusiastically with the people around him, he immediately felt relieved.
"Master Wang, I'm so sorry for the delay. Please come inside and rest for a while."
Wang Fengnian got off the tractor and smiled understandingly, "It's alright, nobody expected this to happen."
The two entered the courtyard, and Lu Yuan waved to the villagers who were still surrounding them.
"Everyone, disperse."
Everyone left with smirks, but Sun Maodou didn't want to leave and jumped over the courtyard wall into the yard.
"Lu Yuan, when did you learn to drive a tractor? What are you doing bringing back so many red bricks?"
Upon hearing these two questions, the group slowed their pace, eager to hear Lu Yuan's answer.
"I just learned how to drive a tractor from Master Wang today. As for the red bricks, I'm preparing them for building the house."
Lu Yuan spoke the truth.
Everyone was shocked.
"You learned to drive a tractor in just one day?"
"You want to build a brick house?"
People have different focuses, so they ask different questions.
Lu Yuan was smug.
"It wasn't learned in a day, it took an hour."
Learning to drive a tractor in a day is already incredible, let alone in an hour?
Are you just bragging?
Before anyone could react, Lu Yuan continued, "We've separated our family. My stepmother wants us to move out of the house within a month. My wife has money, so she said she'd build a brick house."
The supplies on the mountain are collective property, so it's not appropriate to say they were earned from hunting.
If the money is given to the fake daughter-in-law, she has a powerful family backing her, and no one can find fault with it.
Besides, the money was given openly today, and the topic of building a house was brought up. This small amount of money can be spent easily, so there's no need for anyone with ulterior motives to covet it in the future.
Learning to drive a tractor is already enviable, let alone building a brick house?
Everyone's starting to feel envious.
It's unbelievable that Lu Yuan, a lazy good-for-nothing, would have such good fortune.
This wife was a worthwhile marriage.
Many people's gazes towards Lu Yuan have changed; they're now filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
Sun Ziqiang, especially, had red eyes, especially in the crowd.
I felt incredibly resentful.
If he had been a little more ruthless back then and gotten his hands on her sooner, Lu Yuan wouldn't have had such a good opportunity now.
It's all because of that bastard Lu Yuan, he stole everything from him.
It's a pity that my uncle didn't manage to break him this time.
She gave Lu Yuan a gloomy look before turning and leaving.
Lu Yuan was warmly welcoming Wang Fengnian and Lu Guoan's family, and he wouldn't let Xu Dong leave, even though Xu Dong tried to stop him.
He called into the house, "Wife, what do you think we should make for lunch? We're all starving!"
Wen Moxue, who was tidying up with Hong Xia inside the house, came out of the house upon hearing this and asked with a smile, "Cooking noodles is quick, what do you think?"
"Okay, you decide." Lu Yuan had no objections.
"Okay, I'll go cook it now, it'll be quick. You guys sit down and chat for a bit."
These words were clearly directed at Lu Guoan's family, as well as Xu Dong and Wang Fengnian.
They all waved their hands in refusal.
