Early the next morning, Tong Huan came back with Xiao Yu. Everyone surrounded the child, but Lu Yiwei stared at Tong Huan with a complicated expression. He had mixed feelings and found it hard to let go.
Tong Huan noticed Lu Yiwei's eyes. She deliberately avoided his gaze and said to everyone: "Don't cry, Xiao Yu came back safe and sound. You should be happy."
"Yes, don't cry." Li Dengke wiped his tears and said: "Shuman, after this, I have thought it through. When I go back, I will discuss with your mother and plan to buy a house in Jiangdong. Our family will be reunited. " In the face of family, it seemed that nothing was important. Li Dengke, who had always been stubborn, finally changed his mind.
Zhong Ming, with dark circles under his eyes, said: "Brother, since Xiao Yu has been found, I will go back quickly. Who knows how anxious Lingling will be."
"Well, you go back quickly."
After sending Zhong Ming away, Tong Huan also wanted to leave. At this time, the others remembered her. From the moment they entered, no one asked Tong Huan how she found Xiao Yu. Instead, all eyes were focused on the child.
Tong Huan went downstairs wearily under the urging of the whole family. Lu Yiwei hurriedly followed and tried to say something, but was stopped by Tong Huan: "Yiwei, Ding Changhua has promised me that he will not make things difficult for you in the future. In addition, I also want to remind you that with your current ability, don't fight with him. You can't beat him. As for what you said, he will tell you when we go back. "
"Tong Huan, you …" Lu Yiwei found it difficult to speak, and his heart was even more distressed.
Tong Huan was still smiling brightly: "Why are you pulling a long face? Come, smile."
Lu Yiwei could not smile, his heart was tormented.
"All right!" Tong Huan took Lu Yiwei's hand and said, "I know what you want to say. Some things are beyond our control. I've said it before, for you, I'm willing to do anything. If I have to use my life to exchange for it, I won't hesitate, I won't care about my own safety. Alright, it's rare for the whole family to be together. Hurry up and go up. "After saying that, he waved his hand and left.
As soon as he stepped out of the gate, Tong Huan's tears fell like pearls from a broken necklace. He sobbed uncontrollably. She found a secluded corner and crouched there for a moment to cry. Then she rose and staggered away.
Lu Yiwei stood there like a block of wood. He didn't know what he had done to deserve Tong Huan's sacrifice, nor did he know what kind of deal he had made with Ding Changhua. If she became a prostitute again, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life.
At this time, Li Dengke stood on the balcony and witnessed everything.
Lu Yiwei went upstairs and sat at the dining table, smoking non-stop. However, the Li family didn't seem to care about his feelings. They still surrounded Xiao Yu and asked her questions. In their eyes, he was an outsider.
At this time, Xiao Yu suddenly broke free from Li Shu-man's embrace and ran to Lu Yiwei. She looked at him and said, "Dad, are you unhappy?"
Lu Yiwei forced a smile and hugged his daughter in his arms. He kissed her and said, "How can I not be happy? Seeing you healthy and safe, dad is happier than anything else."
"Then why are your eyes red?" Xiao Yu held her cheek and asked.
Lu Yiwei quickly looked away and said, "Dad accidentally got some sand in my eyes. It's okay."
"I'll help you blow it." Then, he blew on Lu Yiwei's eyes.
Lu Yiwei felt warm in his heart. Sometimes, he really wanted to give up everything to accompany Xiao Yu. At least he could give her a happy childhood. But people are selfish and always find all kinds of excuses to avoid problems. Lu Yiwei always wanted to earn more money. On the surface, it was for Xiao Yu's future. But in reality? It wasn't just Lu Yiwei. Everyone had the same thought.
"Xiao Yu, dad wants to ask you. Do you like Teacher Tong Huan?" Lu Yiwei asked.
"I like Teacher Tong the most." Xiao Yu pouted.
"Then can you call her mom in the future?" Lu Yiwei asked tentatively.
Xiao Yu blinked and said, "Why? I already have a mom."
Lu Yiwei didn't know how to explain and could only give up.
Li Dengke heard it and said with a black face, "Xiao Yu only has one mom. Others can forget about it!" Then, he carried Xiao Yu over.
Lu Yiwei was angry. He stood up and roared, "Do you know how Tong Huan got Xiao Yu back? She wants to accept Xiao Yu as her goddaughter. Why can't she? "
"No means no!" Li Dengke said firmly, "Lu Yiwei, don't forget that when you and Shu Man divorced, the child was given to Shu Man. You are not the guardian."
Lu Yiwei was really disappointed with this family. He stood up and said, "Fine, fine. Since this family can't accommodate me, I'll leave." Then, he turned to leave.
Li Shu-man saw this scene and stepped forward to pull Lu Yiwei, crying, "Yiwei, my dad said it out of anger. Don't take it seriously. You are still Xiao Yu's father."
Xiao Yu also broke free from Li Dengke's arms and ran to Lu Yiwei, pulling his clothes and said, "Dad, dad, don't go. Can you accompany me to the amusement park?"
Lu Yiwei felt like a knife was being twisted in his heart. He didn't know whether to leave or not.
"Let him go!" Li Dengke said, treating the house as a training camp for officials. "If it wasn't for him, how could Xiao Yu be kidnapped?"
"Dad! Please don't say anymore! " Li Shu-man knelt in front of Li Dengke and said, "If it wasn't for you, Yiwei and I wouldn't have come to this point. Do you want to force him to leave this house?"
Li Qiankun said, "Sister, how can you say that about dad? Dad is doing this for your own good."
"Am I doing well now?" Li Shu-man, who had always been docile, suddenly lost his temper and said, "Dad, are you satisfied with me now? I have always listened to you since I was a child, but what have you done? What do you think of your daughter, huh? "
Lu Yiwei didn't want to listen to these meaningless arguments. He hugged his daughter and kissed her. With a heavy heart, he left the house without the slightest warmth.
After coming out, Lu Yiwei called Tong Huan several times, but the other party didn't answer. He planned to go to the door to look for him, but gave up after thinking about it. The pain in his heart was silent.
When he returned to Shiwan Village, Lu Yiwei saw Ding Changhua's car parked in the yard. He was inexplicably angry.
When he went upstairs, Ding Changhua was already sitting in the office. Lu Yiwei walked over and grabbed him by the collar. He lifted him up and punched him in the face. He gritted his teeth and said, "Ding Changhua, are you f * cking human?"
Ding Changhua wasn't angry. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and tidied up his clothes. "Lu Yiwei, I've said it before. Offending me won't end well. This is just a warning. If you dare to mess around again, there will be an even bigger surprise waiting for you. "
Lu Yiwei spat on his face and scolded, "Ding Changhua, if you dare to do anything outrageous again, I will fight you to the death."
Ding Changhua was still indifferent. He wiped the saliva off his face and said, "Your life is worthless. Alright, I'm not here to talk to you about this today. Let's discuss how to solve this. I'll propose a plan and see if it works. Since you're already dead, you can't come back to life. I'm planning to increase the original price to 100,000. What do you think? It's quite a lot. No other coal mine has ever offered this price. For you, this is the first time. "
"Do you think everyone cares about your stinky money?" Lu Yiwei said angrily. "If I kill you and give you 100,000, would you be willing?"
"Alright, you're going too far!" Ding Changhua held it in and said, "You can have that thought. You can take my head when you have the ability. But you can't do it now. I've proposed a plan. It's up to you whether you accept it or not. "
Lu Yiwei said, "Do you believe that I will expose you?"
"Sure, absolutely sure!" Ding Changhua spread his hands and said, "Do whatever you want. China Central TV, major newspapers, even foreign media, I won't object. But I have to remind you that people don't die in the coal mine. I've already taken care of this matter. Even if the higher-ups investigate, they'll just shut down the mine. I can still afford this small amount of money. I don't intend to earn money here anyway. You're still too young to think that you can control me. "
Seeing that Lu Yiwei did not say anything, Ding Changhua stood up and patted his shoulder. "Young man, I don't intend to do anything to your daughter. I'm just scaring you. Even if Tong Huan didn't look for me, I would have sent her back to you today. What I don't understand is why Tong Huan is speaking up for you. "
At this moment, Lu Yiwei was no more than a grain of sand in Ding Changhua's eyes. With his current ability, he could totally take him down, but he did not intend to do so.
"Alright. Since you don't say it, I know in my heart. "Ding Changhua said," Do you know? There are two things in the world that you can't touch. One is money, and the other is women. You touched my woman, and I won't argue with you. But let me remind you, everything ends here. "
Before he left, Ding Changhua turned back and said, "You shouldn't stay in Shiwan Village. Go back to the county and be a member of the Standing Committee." With that, he turned around and left with his hands behind his back.
Looking at Ding Changhua's back, Lu Yiwei could do nothing. As he said, with his current ability, he could not fight back at all. The disparity was too great.
His heart was bleeding.
He would remember this grudge. One day in the future, Ding Changhua would kneel in front of him and beg for mercy.
Two days later, Xiao Zhiliang talked to Lu Yiwei. He asked him to stop all investigations immediately.
A week later, the county held a standing committee meeting and removed Lu Yiwei from his position as Shiwan Village Party Secretary and transferred him to the United Front Work Department as well as the Minister.
What kind of department was the United Front Work Department? It was actually a cold yamen. But because of its special position, it was usually held by the Standing Committee of the County party committee. This apparent demotion made Lu Yiwei completely lose confidence in the darkness of Nanyang's officialdom.
On the night he took office, Lu Yiwei tore up all the evidence he had collected. He did not inform anyone and quietly left Shiwan Village with many regrets.
