Mother Lu was really sad. He was so selfish and left alone.
The more Mother Lu thought about it, the sadder she became. She just sat on the ground and burst into tears.
Father Lu's back suddenly hunched, emitting a sense of sadness.
That was his most beloved child, and he was the first one he thought of in everything. Unexpectedly, he was the one who dealt him the heaviest blow.
Father Lu began to doubt whether he had done something wrong and whether he was too harsh on the other children.
But no one told him the answer.
The three Lu Yi brothers learned what had happened from the conversation between their mother and their grandparents.
Lu Yi, who was originally naughty and disliked by everyone, suddenly seemed to be sensible.
Facing the two brothers who were somewhat at a loss, he arranged,
"You two go make a fire and cook. Second brother, keep an eye on the third brother and don't bully him."
Then he walked up to his mother and helped Zhou Hongying, who was sitting on the ground.
"Mom, get up quickly. The ground is cold. He took all the money and notes, which means he didn't think about us. Now we don't know where he went. There's no point crying now! After dinner, I'll go to the commune to see if he's there."
Lu Yi helped her up with great effort.
Just as Mother Lu was about to speak, Lu Yi spoke first, "Grandma, don't rush to say I'm ignorant. Take care of yourself first. Don't let me be alone when you get sick."
"you,"
"Old woman, shut up! Aren't you ashamed? Go and help the children with their work."
Father Lu, perhaps having figured it out or what, stopped Mother Lu from continuing to make a fuss.
Frightened by Mother Lu's shout, the people who came to watch also knew what had happened.
"Old Four, do you know? Your eldest brother sneaked away and took the money and notes away."
When Zhang Laosan saw Lu Ming, he quickly told him what he had seen.
"When did it happen? Wasn't it still there yesterday?"
Lu Ming was stunned as to what had happened that night.
"Your mother was crying this morning, and I ran over to see what was happening. I guess he left last night, but I don't know what he did. Yesterday, your second brother and his family had a fight with him and split up the family property. He disappeared before the night was over."
Zhang Laosan couldn't figure out what he was doing. He was enjoying the good days.
"Brother Zhang San, thank you for telling me this. Their family affairs have nothing to do with me right now, and I don't want to get involved."
"Hey, I don't mean anything else, I just wanted to let you know. Okay, I have to get busy, you should get busy too!"
Zhang Laosan left after he finished speaking, as he was worried that meddling too much would annoy people.
Lu Jianhua and the others also knew about it.
"Second brother, do you know something? Tell me," Lu Jianjun asked Lu Jianhua, who was not surprised at all.
"Third brother, what can I know? Why should I be curious about his departure? I will only be happy. We will have peace when he leaves."
Lu Jianhua would never tell him those things. He thought Lu Jianguo would come to make trouble with him, but he didn't expect that he sneaked away. He didn't want those things to be known to everyone in the group!
Lu Jianhua would not be so foolish as to push himself out. Otherwise, they would lose face because they could not write two Lu characters with one stroke.
Seeing that Lu Jianjun couldn't get any answers, the others also silently shut their mouths.
"Ah, he actually sneaked away on his own. Didn't he consider your sister-in-law and the others?"
Zhang Anan was shocked when she found out.
"Oh, he usually seems to treat his eldest sister-in-law and the others well, but that's all superficial. None of his children are close to him, and the older one even hates him a little. He bullies our children because he envy them."
Lu Ming was talking about his guesses, which all came to his mind suddenly. His own children had never been hurt by them when they were bullied. Perhaps they were afraid of being in trouble with the original owners. Lu Ming tended to envy Lu Chenlin and the others.
"Why bother with them? It's better if they leave. Then your parents won't have time to make a fuss. Okay, go make dinner!"
Zhang Anan left immediately after she finished speaking. She didn't want to discuss them anymore. She would get angrier if she talked too much.
Everyone in the group discussed Lu Jianguo's departure for a while, but was distracted by other things. The ones who were really concerned about him were probably Lu's father and mother.
The weather gradually became colder and it started to snow. Lu Ming had not left the team since Gu Jinyao's leg healed.
"An An, do you want to go to the county town for a walk? The New Year is coming soon, and it will snow heavily later, so it will be difficult to go out."
Zhang Anan turned over, buried his head, and said in a muffled voice,
"No, it's too cold. Oh, and do you know who lives in that shabby house over there? Is he also a transferred person?"
Zhang Anan thought about something and stuck his head out to ask.
"I'm not sure, but they were an elderly couple, neatly dressed. They looked intellectuals, and had nice looks. They seemed like the kind of people who kept a low profile. I guess they heard about this and came to us for refuge. Hiding here is much better than being sent down."
"So, they must have problems or influence, and they must be in a very high position, otherwise they wouldn't have known this information in advance."
"Most of those sent down were wrongly accused or reported by their relatives or students. Only a small portion of them are genuine. I've told you before! How can we determine whether they are good or bad people? We have to identify them ourselves."
"Hey, didn't you forget? If they were nice, we could still get in touch. But we live in such a remote place that we don't even have anyone to talk to."
"Let's wait and see. They're different from the bullpen. If they're nice people, you can interact with them. But you still have to be careful and don't let those with ulterior motives catch you."
"Huh, am I that stupid?"
"I was wrong, I was wrong, I was stupid."
Lu Ming felt pain in his waist and immediately changed his words and admitted his mistake.
In a dilapidated house not far from them.
"Lao Zhang, are we really going to live here?"
Liu Ya asked somewhat unwillingly. Although she had been here for a few days, she still felt unconvinced.
"Hey, Lao Liu, don't overthink it. Do you really want to be like those guys over there, locked up in the bullpen every day without freedom? We have it pretty good already. Even though it's a bit hard and tiring, we're free and no one's watching us all the time."
"I know, I just don't want to give them an easy time. They bullied me and I'm not convinced."
"Why bother arguing with people like them? You really think it's so easy to get those bargains. Just wait and see! Sooner or later, they will fall flat on their face. There's no need to rush and wait and see."
"You just talk big."
"What I said last time didn't come true, it just took a little longer. Luckily I made arrangements in advance this time, otherwise who knows where we would have ended up. Although I didn't see my students, we're in the same county now, so we'll see each other sooner or later."
"Just keep bragging. Maybe your students are too busy taking care of themselves to care about you."
