Chapter 96
The deputy factory director sighed: "Why does Comrade Xu need to know? As the saying goes, when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. The Zhang family is in this situation now. Even if Comrade Xu knows who reported it, he can't help Zhang Weide. So, what's the use of you knowing it? In my opinion, you might as well let Zhang Weide hand over the bribe money and serve a few more years in prison, and this matter will be over."
Xu Mei said: "Does the deputy factory director look down on our Zhang family because we are in a bad state? Although the Zhang family is in a bad state, our Zhang family's network of relationships is still there. The deputy factory director only needs to tell me, Just tell me who reported my son. I will talk to him, and I will not tell him that it was the deputy director who told me. Deputy director, you and our Zhang family had dealings in the past. "The
deputy director did have dealings with the Zhang family, otherwise he would not have given the worker quota in his hands to Zhang Weide. Zhang Weide has poor grades and is uneducated. But because of the current situation, he needs to be demoted, so Zhang Weide needs a job. The worker quota in the hands of the deputy director was given out to avoid Zhang Weide being demoted.
The deputy director thought about it and said, "It was Lu Wen, a worker in the workshop, who reported it with his real name. Lu Wen said that the person who bribed Zhang Weide was himself."
This... Xu Mei was also surprised. The person who bribed Weide reported it with his real name? If this is slander, the person who reported it will also go to jail. If this is true, the person who reported it will also go to jail. What is the other party asking for?
"Lü Wen has been taken away by the police station, so if you want to find Lu Wen, you have to go to the police station." The deputy director shook his head.
After Xu Mei left the deputy director's office, she naturally did not dare to go to the police station to find Lu Wen. What could she say in front of the police? However, she went to find Lu Wen's family.
Lu Wen's family was still in the factory's family compound. They knew that Lu Wen had reported it, so they were not surprised at all by Xu Mei's arrival. However, no matter what Xu Mei said, they were indifferent. It was not that they did not want to help Lu Wen, nor that they did not stop Lu Wen from reporting Zhang Weide, but that they had no other choice.
Because before Lu Wen reported, he had already told them that someone knew about his bribery of Zhang Weide. If he did not report it himself, the other party would directly hand it over to the police comrades for handling, but if he reported it himself, it would be equivalent to surrendering himself, which could reduce the punishment.
Therefore, Lu Wen reported it.
"Just say something. As long as Lu Wen admits that this was his prank, he will be punished, but it will definitely be lighter than the current punishment. Do you want to have a son, a husband, and a father in prison?" Xu Mei really didn't understand what Lu Wen's family was thinking. It was obviously a win-win situation, but they insisted on losing both sides.
Lu's father said with a sullen face: "Shut up and leave. If you say such things again, we will call the police and say that you want to bribe us. I wonder if we can reduce Awen's punishment if we call the police."
"You..." Xu Mei was so angry that she didn't expect Lu's father to say such a thing. However, she didn't dare to say anything else, because she was really afraid that Lu's family would call the police. In desperation, Xu Mei went to find a friend of the Zhang family. There was no other way. As a lesbian, she didn't know who to find. However, she only had one son, Zhang Weide, and she couldn't just watch him get into trouble.
To be able to become friends with the Zhang family, they must be powerful and influential. But the next day, the other party gave Xu Mei the result. There was no turning back on the Zhang Weide case. The person who bribed the informant personally reported it. More importantly, the informant was unwilling to change his testimony. No matter what the friend of the Zhang family said, the other party insisted on it. Later, the friend of the Zhang family also felt strange. The informant was too persistent. How could ordinary people be so persistent? So, the other party conducted an in-depth investigation and found that the Yu family and the Lu family were behind this matter. This made Zhang's friends even more puzzled. Why would the Yu family intervene in this matter?
The Yu family is indeed powerful in the capital, or in other words, before the Zhang family fell, the Yu family and the Zhang family could be said to be evenly matched. However, the reason why the Zhang family fell was because there were many families in the entire Zhang family that united, and each family wanted to get a piece of the pie. In fact, the Lu family contributed the most.
The Lu family and the Zhang family used to be in-laws. Not many people in the capital knew about it, after all, this happened 25 years ago. But the Lu family has always been a peacemaker, so why would they intervene in the Zhang family's affairs? After the Zhang family's friends got to know more, they knew what happened 25 years ago.
And now, the one targeting the Zhang family is the current Lu family, that is, Lu Cheng's uncle.
Zhang's friend told Xu Mei the result of the investigation: "There is nothing I can do about this matter. The evidence of your son's crime is solid, and the Lu and Yu families have taken action together. The informant will not change his testimony. You should know why the Lu family is targeting you. Zhang Shilin's first wife was the daughter of the Lu family. As for the Yu family, I have also investigated. The eldest son of the Yu family and Lu Cheng graduated from the same military academy. I guess it's because of Lu Cheng."
Upon hearing this, Xu Mei shook her whole body: "It's Lu Cheng... It's Lu Cheng... He knows?"
Zhang's friend frowned when he heard her mumbling and asked, "What did Lu Cheng know?"
"Nothing, nothing." Xu Mei hurriedly said, "I know, thank you for this."
Zhang's friend said nothing more and left.
After the other party left, Xu Mei was completely paralyzed. Now Zhang Weide has been arrested. Only she and her daughter are left in this family. What should she do?
25 years ago, after Zhang Shilin and Lu Yan divorced, the Lu family did not take action. She had forgotten about the Lu family, but she did not expect that the Lu family would take action at this time.
And Lu Cheng, he is really promising... Military school classmates, military school classmates, they are really amazing. Thinking back to her son... She thought she had won over Lu Yan and snatched the man from her, but in the end, all the consequences were on her son.
Xu Mei wanted to go to the Lu family to make trouble, but she didn't dare to do so without the support of the Zhang family. "What did Yu Xin's letter say?" Lin
Qingqing
asked curiously.
Lu Cheng gave her the letter, but he still told her the content of the letter after he had read it: "Zhang Weide was sent to re-education through labor. There is no news about Xu Mei, but Yu Xin has sent people to monitor her."
"Only ten years of re-education through labor? The punishment for bribery is not severe." Lin Qingqing just said it casually. If someone was sent to re-education through labor in these days, life there would definitely be difficult, especially for a criminal like Zhang Weide.
Lu Cheng: "The amount of bribes he received was not much, and he has done a lot of evil in recent years. If it weren't for the efforts of the Yu family and the Lu family, he would not have been sentenced to ten years."
Lin Qingqing finished reading the letter and was a little surprised: "I have never heard you mention your uncle. I didn't expect that your uncle also contributed to this matter. Speaking of which, why did mother hand you over to your aunt instead of your uncle?" Speaking
of this, Lu Cheng didn't know, after all, he couldn't guess what a female comrade was thinking: "My uncle was actually very good to me. When I was young, although I lived with my aunt, my uncle would send things to me every year. As for why my mother entrusted me to my aunt, I don't know. It may be because the Lu family is in the capital, and the Zhang family is also in the capital. If I grow up in the Lu family, I will inevitably run into the Zhang family, and my mother doesn't want me to be laughed at."
Lin Qingqing thinks that this makes sense. After all, there are only these people in this circle. If Lu Cheng grows up in the Lu family, the circles of the Lu family and the Zhang family will inevitably meet each other. At that time, it will be difficult for Lu Cheng.
In fact, Lu Yan made such an arrangement not only for this reason. If Lu Cheng is entrusted to Lu Cheng's uncle, the man will be the master outside, and it will be Lu Cheng's aunt who will take care of Lu Cheng. It's not that Lu Yan doesn't trust Lu Cheng's aunt, but between her sister-in-law and her sister, she trusts her sister more. My sister is a person with strong opinions and a strong personality. The people in her husband's family can't control her, so if the son is handed over to my sister, I don't have to look at people's faces. But if the son is handed over to my sister-in-law, I must look at her face and the face of her family. Because my sister-in-law's family also has a background, while my sister's family has no background.
Lu Yan grew up in the most prosperous circle. She understood better than anyone what a child without a father and mother would experience when growing up in this circle. Therefore, she entrusted her son to her sister, who lived in a remote county town. Even for the sake of money, her sister's in-laws would not do anything to her son. As a result, the eldest brother felt more guilty about his son and took better care of him.
"Sometimes I think your mother is the time traveler." Lin Qingqing said, "Look, if she hadn't published an advertisement 25 years ago to sever ties with the Zhang family, the matter of you being reported this time would not have been resolved so quickly. Moreover, she dares to let go even when she loves. Such a character is something that female comrades should learn from no matter what era it is." Moreover, Lin Qingqing felt a little narcissistic that the character of this mother-in-law, whom she had never met, was very similar to her own.
Lu Cheng followed her words and teased, "Maybe my mother really is a time traveler." Not to mention, after Lin Qingqing's book travel and Xu Huijuan's rebirth, even if his mother came to him and said that she was faking her death, he would believe it.
Lin Qingqing laughed.
In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the year.
On this day, the three members of the Lu family got up very early, including Lu Haici who was on winter vacation. Modern people clean every few days, and even those who are well-off will hire a housekeeper every month, but it is not the case in this era. In this era, ordinary people only clean the house when the Chinese New Year is approaching.
So today, the three members of the Lu family got up so early just to clean.
The three of them moved out everything that could be moved out of the house, and started cleaning from every corner of the house.
However, Lu Haici felt a little aggrieved: "Mom, you and Dad clean the room, and I clean the room alone, I am so slow."
Lin smiled and said, "You can find help."
Lu Haici felt that what his mother said made sense, so he ran out like a fly to find help.
