338 Do You Have to Be So Desperate?

There was no time for a lunch break at noon, so Fu Yuanhang and Mumu quickly moved the things to be sent outside.

Zhou Linglan originally wanted to bring these quilts with her so that she could take them out and use them as covers when she arrived, but she didn't know how long she would have to wait for the package to arrive.

Fu Yuanhang said there were new quilts over there.

Previously, Su Taotao distributed New Year benefits to the factory employees in advance. They asked Xiao Lu to take a truckload of sugar to the cotton factory and exchange it for a truckload of quilts. They also gave one to each employee in the factory.

These days, you can’t buy good cotton even if you have money, and even if you can buy cotton you still have to find someone to strew it yourself. This ready-made quilt can be said to make them happier than giving them money.

These are all good things that money can’t buy.

Su Taotao paid for two more quilts out of her own pocket, thus solving the problem of winter quilts at home at one time.

So all the clothes, quilts, etc. that I couldn't wear at the moment were sent over.

Zhou Linglan went to ask Uncle Niu to drive the tractor over.

"Hey, so many things?" Uncle Niu turned off the engine and quickly jumped out to help the two children move things.

"I don't know when I will be able to come back, so I took everything I could," Zhou Linglan explained.

As soon as Aunt Niu got home, she told Fu Yuanhang that he was going to pick up Zhou Linglan to go to the city.

Uncle Niu said cheerfully, "That's great. You've worked hard for half your life, now it's time to enjoy some peace and quiet."

Zhou Linglan didn't respond.

Everyone worked together and quickly loaded the items to be shipped onto the tractor.

Fu Yuanhang and Mumu also jumped up.

"You guys should be careful and come back early after sending the things. Don't buy groceries because we have some at home." Zhou Linglan instructed.

Mumu waved his hand: "We know it, go back quickly, Uncle Niu, let's go!"

After the two children left, Zhou Linglan closed the door and went to the brigade secretary to get a certificate.

Who knew that I would run into Uncle Fu in the village committee office. He and the old party secretary were smoking dry cigarettes and talking about something.

"Zhengtu's mother is here. She is here to get a certificate, right?" the old branch secretary said.

There are no secrets in a small village, and the news that Zhou Linglan was going to the city to enjoy a good life had already spread.

Zhou Linglan greeted him and nodded, "Yes, thank you."

There was a reason why the old branch secretary had been re-elected for three terms. He handed Zhou Linglan the certificate he had prepared earlier: "I've prepared it for you. I've been waiting for you."

Zhou Linglan took it and looked at it, confirming that there was nothing wrong with it. She thanked the secretary before putting it in her pocket.

"Both Zheng Tu and Su Zhiqing in your family are remarkable people. I heard that Su Zhiqing even became a factory director, is that true? But don't forget that you were once a native of Qinglian Village," said the old branch secretary.

"I won't forget, but I seldom ask about children's affairs. I'll go back first." Zhou Linglan said neither softly nor harshly, and started to walk out.

"Zhengtu's mother, wait a moment." Uncle Fu chased out.

"Is there anything wrong with his uncle?" Zhou Linglan stopped and asked.

Uncle Fu said in a flattering tone: "Mother Zhengtu, we are all family, do you have to be so distant with me?"

Zhou Linglan said, "Uncle, haven't our two families always been so distant? Do you need me to remind you of how you treated me in the past? I didn't argue because I didn't want to argue and I didn't want to care.

I have never received any preferential treatment because of your status. I have always done the dirtiest, most tiring and least rewarding work. Have you forgotten that?"

Uncle Fu moved his lips, wanting to argue something, but he didn't know where to start.

Zhou Linglan continued, "I don't blame you, and similarly, don't expect to get any preferential treatment from my child.

Getting along with relatives is also a matter of fate. If you can't get along, just don't bother each other.

By the way, my private plot was reclaimed by me, and there are still some things in the land that I haven’t had time to dig up yet. I want to leave it to Xiaomeizi and her family to take care of it. Do you have any objections?"

Uncle Fu gritted his teeth and said, "Do you have to be so ruthless? You can't write two characters for Fu with one stroke. Fu Lei is my brother. If he knew, would he want to see you so anxious to draw a line between us? Would he be able to rest in peace?"

Zhou Linglan shook her head and said with a smile, "Is it really true? After Brother Lei left, you never cared about our family. When Zhengtu was on a mission, you took advantage of him. Did you ever think about whether Brother Lei could rest in peace at that time?"

Zhou Linglan sighed. She didn't want to argue, but there were some people who felt like the whole world owed them something even though they were clearly in the wrong. If she didn't explain things clearly to such a person, she would have trouble in the future.

"Brother Lei told me before he died that he was very grateful to your father for adopting him and raising him, so he sent more than half of his monthly allowance to your father to repay him for raising him, and he only stopped sending the allowance after your father passed away.

How your yard was built and how much your father left you, I'm sure you know it. Uncle, we don't owe you anything. If you want to settle accounts, we can sit down and settle the old accounts while the old branch secretary is here."

Uncle Fu looked at Zhou Linglan in surprise, as if he didn't know her.

She has always been weak in character. When did she become so sharp?

No matter how he treated her in the past, she didn't say a word and just endured it silently.

Could it be that you have been playing the pig and eating the tiger?

Zhou Linglan looked at his expression and couldn't help but sigh. She didn't want to care about it before, and she still doesn't want to care about it now. Even a rabbit bites when it is cornered. Why force her to do anything?

She can be indifferent, but if it bothers the children, she will not compromise: "I still have a lot of things to do. If you don't want to settle the bill, then I'll leave first."

Uncle Fu stared at her back, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

The old branch secretary's heart was as clear as a mirror: "Your family has Shitou, which really is a blessing from your ancestors. You have received a lot of protection from him, not to mention how you got the position of team leader.

Ever since Shitou started working, your father has not worked for a living. He has been supported by Shitou all his life. He passed away two years before Shitou. Blind Chen said that your father was lucky.

Is your house the most elegant in the whole brigade? Was it built with the money you earned or the money your father earned? If it weren't for the help of the stone, could it be that you are corrupt? "

Shitou is Fu Lei's nickname, and the older generation calls him that.

Uncle Fu's face changed: "I didn't, old Party Secretary, don't you know who I am?"

"I told you before to be nicer to their family, but I'm ashamed of what you did." The old branch secretary said something fair.

Uncle Fu: "I, I didn't do anything."

The old branch secretary smiled, his tone somewhat sarcastic: "You did nothing. When the orphan and the widow were in the most difficult time, you did not help them. You just piled up the dirty work for them and let them take the least centimeters.

You, even though you are smart, you are misled by your own intelligence. Don't you want to go out and listen to your own reputation? As a captain, don't you want to be accused of being selfish and mean to orphans and widows? "

Uncle Fu’s face turned paler and paler.

"They don't bother you. If they do, what good will it be for you? Think about it yourself."

It is difficult for an honest official to judge family affairs. The old branch secretary has reminded people of this more than once, but people just don't listen.

She thought that Fu Lei was dead and Fu Zhengtu was missing, so she had no one to rely on and no longer took them seriously.

It's not that Uncle Fu's family is mean to Zhou Linglan, otherwise he would have stepped in to take care of it a long time ago. Someone has to do the dirty and tiring work, and it wouldn't be fair to anyone who does it.

All we can say is that Uncle Fu is selfish and can't see the situation clearly.

After all, he himself was no exception. If he had paid more attention to her family in the past, Zhou Linglan would have certainly remembered his kindness, given her personality.

They stood idly by when Zhou Linglan was in the most difficult time, so of course you can't expect them to help you now.

That's it.
