Lu Sen entrusted Lu Guochang and several clan leaders with the responsibility of building the ancestral hall and repairing the road. After learning the specific plan, he put down 30,000 yuan and went to the county town with Lu Chunhe.
The remaining 50,000 yuan will be paid after the project is halfway completed.
It's not that we don't have cash, but if such a large sum of money were all handed over to the ancestral hall at once, there's no guarantee that someone wouldn't have evil intentions.
When Lu Miao learned that Lu Sen had given so much money to build the ancestral hall, his heart bled.
For three consecutive days, Lu Chunhe went to Lu Sen's door to ask for money, but was kicked out each time.
Therefore, he harbored resentment and, on the night Lu Sen went to the county town, he went to Lu Sen's new home construction site late at night, put flammable materials there, and set the construction site on fire.
Fortunately, the army has to inspect the construction site late at night, at an unpredictable time.
This time, however, it just so happened that someone deliberately set the fire.
He called for help to put out the fire, and fortunately, they arrived in time, destroying only a small part of the building and having little impact.
But they didn't see the arsonist, nor did they catch him.
The army reported the incident to the police that night, and the police came overnight to investigate and collect evidence.
Lu Guochang waited until dawn before calling Lu Sen to tell him about it.
The Lu family knew that their new house in Lujia Village had been set on fire, and they were both angry and saddened.
The murderer must be someone from the village.
It's hard to find anyone else who has a conflict with your family besides Yu Dawei's mother.
But it could also be someone else, because there are a lot of petty people in the village.
Lu Sen stole the spotlight a few days ago, which must have aroused envy, jealousy and hatred in some people.
Anwan never expected that someone would set fire to her new house and succeed in doing so.
Upon inspection, it was discovered that the talismans on the new house were outdated and ineffective.
This time, she insisted on going back to Lujia Village with Lu Chunhe. He Sichen happened to be returning from out of town that day, so he also went to Lujia Village to visit Grandpa He.
At the same time, he was also accompanied by two teenagers whom An Wan did not recognize.
She was only seventeen or eighteen years old.
An Wan became suspicious upon seeing the two boys, even though He Sichen claimed they were his friends who had come to Lujia Village for a few days.
But she knew he would never do anything pointless or unprofitable.
There must be a purpose behind this.
"Hello, little sister. My name is Fang Xing, and I'm a friend of your brother Si Chen. It's nice to meet you."
"Hanling".
Fang Xing is outgoing, generous, and passionate. He has a baby face and a cute, innocent smile.
Han Ling, on the other hand, had a deathly face and cold, unfathomable eyes, seemingly unmoved by anything.
Although he was only seventeen or eighteen years old, he looked as weathered as an old man.
"Brother Fangxing, your name sounds so nice." An Wan tilted her head and smiled, her eyes crinkling, looking completely silly.
"He's so handsome and tall, can you hug me? I want a hug. Brother Fangxing, do you have a girlfriend? It must be so wonderful to be your girlfriend."
"Haha. Wanwan, why did you say that being my girlfriend would be so wonderful?"
Fang Xing touched the back of his head, his handsome face flushed red, and his face, neck and ears made him look like a boiled crayfish.
This was the first time a girl had complimented him on his good looks.
Seeing An Wan raise her hands for a hug, looking so adorable, he couldn't refuse her.
When he picked up her soft body, he froze.
So this is what it feels like to hold a little girl.
Soft and fluffy, and smells delicious.
"Because Fang Xing is handsome."
"Hahaha."
Standing opposite, He Sichen thought: ...She's playing the tiger to eat the pig again.
Is it something you want to find out from Fang Xing?
Seeing how happy and intimate she looked being held by Fang Xing, He Sichen's brows suddenly furrowed.
He walked behind her, grabbed her by the collar with one hand, and lifted her up.
Her small body was suspended in mid-air.
The scene was extremely funny and comical.
"Huh? Brother Sichen, what are you doing?" An Wan was startled when he suddenly lifted her up like a chick.
I rarely even spoke to him before, let alone had any intimate actions with him.
What happened to him this time?
He Sichen pursed his lips and remained silent, ignoring An Wan's struggles and not afraid of angering Lu Chunhe. He picked her up, threw her into the car, and closed the door.
"He Sichen, why are you mentioning my sister? What if she falls?" Lu Chunhe was furious to see him treat his sister like that.
Don't think that just because he's strong, he can carry Anwan with one hand. What if he falls and gets hurt?
Just as Lu Chunhe realized what was happening and was about to rush forward, He Sichen had already gotten into his own car.
Seeing this, Fang Xing and Han Ling quickly got into the car, and the driver sped away.
It left behind a trail of exhaust fumes.
"What's He Sichen up to?" Lu Chunhe complained, then got into his own car and told the driver to follow.
An Wan, sitting in the car in a daze, had no idea what He Sichen was up to.
Why did you just grab her and throw her into the car?
She didn't do anything bad, and she didn't bully him.
Hmph! When we get to Lu Family Village, let's see how she gets her revenge.
Two cars were driving on the road, one in front of the other, without incident.
An hour and a half later, we arrived safely at Lujia Village.
Lu Chunhe immediately went to Niu Ahong's house to find Lu Guochang to inquire about the fire in the new house.
An Wan went with He Sichen to visit Grandpa He.
Although it had only been four or five days since they last met, she still missed this old rascal very much.
"Grandpa He, I miss you so much. Do you miss me?" She pouted her pink lips and rushed over to him as soon as she saw him, throwing herself into his arms.
"Come here, let Grandpa give you a hug." Grandpa He opened his arms and easily lifted An Wan, who weighed fifty pounds.
Don't let his age fool you, he's in great shape, just like a young man, with plenty of strength.
