Lu Jianxun and the others did not care about the college entrance examination. Xue Huahua said that they would have three days off,
They would start studying on the third day of the first lunar month,
Chao Caizhi returned to her parents' home on the second day,
Lu Jianxun and Lu Mingwen followed her out to look for the people from the production team to chat. After separating from Lu Dewen and the others, the two of them turned and went to Lu Jianguo's house, saying that they were going to the city to buy pens and notebooks,
They asked Lu Jianguo to open a letter of introduction.
The Lu Family's school supplies had always been brought back by Lu Jianguo when he went to the county town to do some work,
He suddenly heard Lu Mingwen say that he was going to the county town to buy notebooks,
He frowned. "The department store in the county town only opens on the sixteenth of the first lunar month,
Why didn't you say earlier that the notebooks and pens were gone? "The two brothers should have bought them when they sent Luo Mengying to the city before the New Year,
Where could they buy them if they went to the county town today?
The smile on Lu Mingwen's face did not change. He looked straight into Lu Jianguo's eyes, he explained sincerely, "It was enough.
He explained sincerely, "It was originally enough. Didn't Luo Zhiqing leave a lot of homework before she left?
Homework is consumed quickly,
My mom didn't expect it either. "
The weather was cold,
It would snow from time to time,
Xue Huahua was afraid that they would catch a cold,
The homework was written in the notebooks,
Five people,
The homework of four subjects, the notebooks and pens were consumed very quickly.
Lu Jianguo did not suspect anything. As he opened the letter of introduction, he told them where they could buy notebooks in the city. The two brothers hurriedly nodded and took the letter of introduction. They were so happy that the corners of their mouths were split open. Lu Jianguo was suspicious. "You guys aren't going to the county town to play, are you?"
Lu Mingwen's expression froze. He glanced at Lu Jianxun guiltily, who had a similar expression as him.
Seeing the two brothers behaving like this, what else did Lu Jianguo not understand? The county town was bustling and lively. Just looking around without buying anything was more interesting than walking around the commune. It was not strange for a teenager to look forward to life in the county town. He reminded them, "You can play, but be careful. The county town is not like our production team. If something happens, we will be in the production team. We can't put out the fire nearby.
The two brothers nodded repeatedly, thinking that they were going to look for trouble, so why would they be afraid of anything else?
After receiving the letter of recommendation, the two of them rushed to the commune as if they were flying. The cadres were on vacation, so the two of them went straight to the home of the cadres. When the cadres heard that they were the sons of Xue Huahua and that they were going to the county to buy books, they stamped the letter without asking any questions. After that, they were not allowed to educate their grandchildren at home. Look at Lu Mingwen and his brother. It was the second day of the New Year, but they were still thinking about doing their homework. Primary school was about to start, but they had not done their winter homework.
It was really infuriating to compare oneself with others.
Snowflakes were falling from the sky, and the wind was blowing. The two brothers entered the city in high spirits. Unlike last year, when they looked around with their eyes wide open, the two of them walked towards the street where the accident happened last time with a clear goal. On the wet road, a few children stood at the end of the alley. One of them was riding a bicycle, and there was someone holding the seat behind it. The bicycle came out of the alley crookedly, and after walking along the street for about ten meters, it turned around and rode back.
Lu Jianxun stole a few glances at them. All of them were dressed like dumplings, and they were wearing hats on their heads. He could not recognize them at all. "Second Brother, do you recognize them?"
Lu Mingwen stared at them for a while, then pouted and shook his head. "I can't."
The bicycle belonged to Xiaobo. Today, his aunts had married and returned to their parents' home. When his cousins found out that he had a bicycle, they were extremely envious and shouted that they wanted to learn how to ride. He had no choice but to teach them how to ride. He held the back of the seat and ran along with the bicycle. After only two trips, his arms were tired and numb. He reminded his cousin, who was pedaling half a lap, "You have to look in front of you. Don't just stare at your feet.
I'm going to let go. "" No, I'm scared. Xiaobo, support me, or I'll fall. "
"My dad, I had to fall twice to learn. Look in front of you, I'm going to let go."
When Lu Mingwen and Lu Jianxun heard the conversation between the two, they couldn't help but raise their eyebrows. They couldn't recognize their faces, but they could hear their names. Lu Jianxun tugged at Lu Mingwen and whispered, "When they come over later, you just lie on the ground. I'll shout loudly that I hit someone." They weren't arrogant and looked down on country bumpkins. This time, they would let them have a taste of their power.
"I'm going? Didn't we agree that you're going? " Lu Mingwen shrank back. He was willing to enter the city because Lu Jianxun told him that he would handle everything, and he would be responsible for calling people. Why did he suddenly change his mind?
"I'm going to lie down. Are you sure you can handle the rest? Won't you be exposed after being scolded? You go. Hurry up, their bicycles are coming over soon. " Lu Jianxun paid attention to the movements in the surroundings. After making sure that no one was looking in their direction, he waited for the bicycles to sway in front of him. He gently pushed Lu Mingwen, and the bicycles just happened to collide with each other.
The boy on the bicycle was focused on his feet and didn't notice that there was someone in front of him. The bicycle directly collided with the person. He screamed and jumped off the bicycle unsteadily, running away as fast as he could. Xiaobo, who was holding onto the back seat, reacted quickly and let go of his hand. He didn't fall, but the bicycle fell with a crash. He was about to curse loudly when the man on the ground rolled on the ground while covering his head. A sharp male voice shouted, "Someone's dead, someone's dead."
On the way, Lu Jianxun repeated this many times. In order to make his voice sound emotional, he squeezed his thigh while opening his mouth. He squeezed his tears while kneeling to check Lu Mingwen's body. "Someone's dead, someone's dead. Everyone, quickly come and see."
A few children not far away were so frightened that their faces changed greatly. They turned around and ran home. It was Xiaobo's first time experiencing this kind of thing, so he was at a loss. His cousin reacted quickly and dragged him to the back, even abandoning the bicycle. How could Lu Jianxun let them go? He pounced over and hugged Xiaobo's leg tightly. He shouted at the top of his lungs, "You guys killed my brother. Don't think of leaving. I'll report you to the police to arrest you."
The blood drained from Xiaobo's face. With a pale face, he looked at his cousin at a loss. In an instant, his tears burst out like a flood. "It's all your fault. I told you to look in front, but you didn't listen. Look at what's happening now."
On the second day of the New Year, every family had their relatives visiting. They were chatting excitedly. When they heard people shouting outside that someone had died, they hurriedly ran out to watch the commotion. They didn't know the person lying on the ground, but they knew Xiaobo who was riding the bicycle. The Zhang family was well-off, and they only had Xiaobo. If they wanted the moon, they could get the stars. Just take that bicycle for example. Many people had lent industrial tickets to the Zhang family. When they heard that Xiaobo had killed someone, they couldn't care about anything else. They turned around and shouted in the direction of the Zhang family's courtyard, "Second Brother Zhang, Second Brother Zhang, your family's Xiaobo has hit someone."
It was the New Year's Day, but they only said that it was an accident.
Zhang Xiaobo was held back by someone and couldn't run at all. Tears and snot covered his entire face. He was crying louder than anything else. Lu Mingwen, who was lying on the ground with his hands on his head, couldn't bear it anymore. He secretly kicked Lu Jianxun. Their target was Zhang Xiaobo's parents. It had nothing to do with Zhang Xiaobo, right? Lu Jianxun pushed him away and hugged Zhang Xiaobo tightly. He cried, "He killed someone, he killed someone. Everyone, come and take a look. My poor brother. He's only 20 years old and hasn't even gotten married. Why is his life so bitter?"
The Zhangs heard what the children said. Zhang Xiaobo's biological mother was making food in the kitchen. When she heard that, her face turned pale. She ran out without even taking off her apron. She was still holding a piece of cured meat in her hand. Seeing that Xiaobo's legs were tightly hugged by someone, she screamed and rushed over. "Xiaobo, Xiaobo, what happened to you? Who bullied you?"
Luo Xueru had only gotten pregnant with her first child after marrying into the Zhangs for five years. Her mother-in-law thought that it was a girl. Her eyes were not eyes and her nose were not nose. When she went to the hospital to give birth, she was accompanied by her maternal family. It wasn't until the doctor said that it was a boy that her mother-in-law ran over anxiously. She hugged the baby and couldn't bear to let go. In this family, Xiaobo would definitely come first if there was good food. Because of this, her status was much higher. Compared to her sister-in-law, who had given birth to three girls in a row, she was much more relaxed.
If anything happened to Xiaobo, she didn't dare to imagine how her mother-in-law would make a scene when she returned home.
"Xiaobo, Xiaobo, don't cry. Tell Mom what happened. Mom will help you."
Hearing the voice of the main character, Lu Jianxun sneered in his heart, but his face looked more and more sorrowful. "Second Brother, my poor Second Brother. He's not married yet. What will he do in the future? It's all your fault. You guys were the ones who hit my Second Brother with your bicycle." As he spoke, Lu Jianxun slowly got up and saw a few people surrounding them. Looking at their appearances, they weren't the people who had surrounded them the last time. However, they were also relatives of the Zhangs.
Luo Xueru also recognized him. She glared at him and wanted to scold him. Lu Jianxun rolled his eyes and cried even louder. "Okay, it's you guys. I recognize you guys. Last time, you guys hit my brother and ruined my family's straw rope. You forced my brother to apologize to you guys. Seeing that you guys outnumbered us, we brothers had no choice but to bow our heads and thought that the matter was over. I didn't expect you guys to let the child hit my brother. You guys deliberately don't want my brother to live. What did my brother do to offend you guys?"
Luo Xueru was mad. They were obviously trying to scam him, but the villain was the one who complained first. She turned her head to look at her father-in-law who had a long face and hurriedly explained, "Dad, it's them. After being hit by Xiaobo last time, they harbored hatred in their hearts."
"Hmph, you also know that your son hit my brother last time? What's the meaning of forcing my brother to apologize? He even dirtied my family's straw rope. " As he said that, he cried again. "It's a pity about those straw ropes. Our whole family, old and young, worked during the day and stayed up late at night to make the straw rope. Now, it's been ruined by a bunch of wild barbarians. We don't have any money for the New Year …"
He wasn't just wailing, but complaining in a voice full of emotion. His tears were pouring down like a downpour, and his snot flowed down his chin like a stream in the countryside. From time to time, he would shake his shoulders a few times, making it look like he was crying in grief.
Indeed, when the people around him saw him like this, they couldn't help but look at him sympathetically. Someone said, "I also saw what happened last time. Sigh, it's all because of a stutter. It's not easy."
Luo Xueru spat. Her face, which had been smeared with makeup, was almost distorted due to anger. She glared fiercely at Lu Jianxun, her eyeballs almost popping out. "Don't think that I don't know what your motive is. You came here on purpose to find trouble. Just you wait, I'll go to the police station to look for the police. I'll definitely let them deal with you."
Lu Jianxun wasn't someone who grew up being frightened. He continued to cry. "Everyone, please be the judge. Why are you dragging my brother to the police station after hitting someone? My brother doesn't have any status or background, so he deserves to be bullied. He doesn't have to take responsibility even if he hits someone to death."
When Lu Mingwen heard Lu Jianxun saying death here and there, his eyebrows suddenly twitched. He cooperatively curled up his body and hugged his head with both hands. In a weak voice, he shouted, "Jianxun, Jianxun."
With so many people around, Lu Jianxun wasn't afraid that they would run away. He let go of Xiaobo and bent over to answer Lu Mingwen. "Second Brother, Second Brother, I'm here."
"My head hurts. My head hurts." Lu Mingwen held his head and pretended to be in pain. Lu Jianxun cried again. "Second Brother, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me."
The two of them put on a flawless performance. Even if Luo Xueru wanted to put the blame on them, it was useless. Moreover, her father-in-law was there. If he knew that her brother was bullying him with numbers, he might not be happy. She let out a deep breath and stood beside her husband without saying a word.
Lu Jianxun cried vigorously. "Second Brother, don't be afraid. The police station doesn't belong to their family. I'll go to the police station to report the case and let them arrest the person who hit you and put him in jail."
Luo Xueru was so frightened that she quickly hugged her son in her arms. She signaled to her niece beside her to call her mother-in-law over. Her mother-in-law had gone to buy fish early in the morning and hadn't returned yet. She had to call her mother-in-law back to make the decision.
Lu Jianxun carelessly wiped the tears off his face and stood up to leave. Luo Xueru screamed, "Quick, quick, stop him. We can't let him go to the police station." Her father-in-law had some friendship with the police station's director, but such a big matter had blown up. It was impossible for the director to be biased towards their family. If Xiaobo was arrested, she wouldn't want to live anymore.
Zhang Quanyou was a director in a government department. He would retire in another two years. There were many people eyeing his director position. If something really happened, there would definitely be fewer people who would offer timely help and more people who would kick him when he was down. He asked his son to send him to the hospital. Xiaobo had hit someone, so their family couldn't shirk responsibility. When Lu Mingwen heard that he was going to be sent to the hospital, he panicked a little. He hugged his head tightly with both hands and didn't know what to do. If he really went to the hospital, what would he do if he got an injection and drew blood?
Lu Jianxun, who had walked two steps, seemed to have thought of something. He stopped in his tracks and said, "Yes, yes, yes. We have to send Second Brother to the hospital. We have to let the doctor take a look at him. My Second Brother said that he has a headache. If he hits his head, what will he do if he can't get a wife in the future?"
Hearing Lu Jianxun's voice, Lu Mingwen's nervousness lessened a little, but he was still a little afraid.
The eldest and second son of the Zhang family worked together to help him up. Luo Xueru stared at the man intently, as if she had discovered something. Her expression turned ugly, "Dad, look. He doesn't have any injuries on his body. It doesn't look like he hit his head. I think they are deliberately looking for trouble."
Lu Mingwen felt guilty and his body shivered. He didn't know if it was because of the cold or something else, but his legs were trembling uncontrollably. Luo Xueru ran over and was about to hit him. "He's faking it. He's definitely faking it. Dad, look."
Zhang Quanyou had eyes, so of course he could see it. The man was holding his head with his hands, and the emotions on his face couldn't be seen. However, the man's younger brother, who was about thirteen or fourteen years old, didn't look like he was faking it. He cleared his throat and stepped forward in his leather boots. "Go to the hospital and find Doctor Li for a check-up. We have to draw blood for a test. We have to find out what's wrong with him."
Hearing that, Lu Mingwen's legs went limp. He didn't fall to the ground because his arms were held up. He lowered his head and didn't make a sound.
"Yes, draw blood for a test. We have to check from head to toe. Second Brother, don't be afraid. I'll be with you. Tell me where your head hurts, and I'll tell the doctor later." Lu Jianxun didn't doubt Xue Huahua's words at all. Since Xue Huahua said that there was nothing wrong with the check-up, he didn't feel guilty at all. On the contrary, he even actively asked Lu Mingwen about the symptoms.
There was no scammer who wasn't afraid of being exposed, unless they weren't a scammer.
Luo Xueru hesitated. What if the check-up revealed something wrong and blamed it on Xiaobo? Xiaobo wasn't even twelve years old yet. If something happened to him, it would be troublesome. It would also be a problem for him to take over her father-in-law's work in the future. She looked at her father-in-law and shouted anxiously, "Dad …"
Zhang Quanyou could naturally think of what she could think of. Although he usually reprimanded his family for valuing boys over girls, he was also sad that something had happened to his grandson. He muttered to himself for a while and said, "His clothes are wet. It's a bit far to go to the hospital. Be careful not to catch a cold. Eldest Brother, Second Brother, help him home and find him some clothes to change into before going to the hospital."
Lu Jianxun raised his eyebrows. He was rather tactful. He followed behind Lu Mingwen and kept talking to him, "Second Brother, don't be afraid. Change into some clean clothes first, and then we'll go to the hospital. Just bear with it for a while, and you'll be fine soon." Lu Jianxun was glad that the one lying on the ground was Lu Mingwen. If he was the one lying on the ground without making a sound, with Lu Mingwen's cowardly personality, he would have been scared out of his wits long ago.
There were several families living in the courtyard. Different from the adobe walls in the countryside, the courtyard was surrounded by buildings. Lu Jianxun still didn't understand the structure of houses, halls, and rooms. The Zhang family lived on the third floor. The rooms were very small, and all the rooms were connected to the central room. After they entered, there wasn't even a stool to sit on. The man who helped Lu Mingwen back went into the house and found a brand new thick cotton jacket. The woman beside him was reluctant to part with it. "This is new clothes. You haven't worn it yet." Xiaobo had clearly bumped into someone. What did it have to do with the couple? The woman said in a strange tone.
Luo Xueru looked unhappy. "Sister-in-law, in our family, only Eldest Brother's figure is similar to his. Xiaobo's father is a little fatter, so he can't wear his clothes."
Lu Jianxun didn't care about the undercurrent between them. He urged them to move faster. They had to go to the hospital for a checkup.
Zhang Quanyou heard that his tone didn't sound as pitiful as when he was outside. His sharp eyes swept across his slightly tender cheeks. If it was anyone else, they would have bowed their heads in fear after being stared at like this. However, Lu Jianxun wasn't afraid. He smiled and met the old man's gaze. "What's the matter? Are you regretting it? Fine then. Let's go to the police station and talk to the public security officer. Murder will be shot.
What's the punishment for bumping into someone? "" Come to my Zhang family. Tell me what you want and name a price. It's the New Year. Don't be unhappy with a lawsuit. " Zhang Quanyou had read countless people. How could he not see that the other party came prepared? He couldn't help but admire his calmness. At this moment, there wasn't even a look of fear on his face.
Lu Jianxun raised his eyebrows and turned to Luo Xueru with a faint smile. The latter flew into a rage. "Why are you staring at me?"
"If you don't know, then go to the police station. No, go to the hospital first. Go to the hospital for a check-up before going to the police station."
Luo Xueru was flustered and exasperated. "What do you mean? Are you threatening me? Don't think that I don't know. The one who bumped into you is Cousin Xiaobo. It has nothing to do with Xiaobo. Even if you guys go to the police station, I'm not afraid." On the way, she had asked Xiaobo in detail. Xiaobo kept saying that it wasn't her. Xiaobo wouldn't lie. She asked the other children and found out that the one who bumped into someone was Zhang Jiaxin's son. He was his cousin who was two months older than Xiaobo.
"Isn't that so? Isn't your son holding the bicycle from behind? No matter who bumped into him, the difference is at most three or five years in jail. If you think that your son isn't the main culprit and three years in jail is enough, you can talk to the public security officer. " For the sake of revenge, did she really think that he was just thinking about it? He went to the educated youth's room and asked seriously. No matter what the reason was, anyone who hurt someone would have to go to jail. No one could escape.
Zhang Quanyou frowned. "You even know the main culprit?"
"I know a lot of things. Didn't you say that you were going to help my brother change his clothes? What do you say? My words are like farts. Once I say it, there's no follow-up?" Lu Jianxun crossed his legs and looked at the decorations in the room leisurely. The things were placed in a mess. If his mother was here, she would definitely scold him.
Lu Mingwen lowered his head and twirled his fingers. He wanted to say that it was fine. The clothes he was wearing were thin but comfortable. His mother said that when the conditions were good in the future, she would make a cotton-padded jacket for each of them. He would have it sooner or later. There was no need for him to wear other people's clothes. Lu Jianxun saw his cowardly look and pushed him. "Go change your clothes. If you catch a cold, I can't take care of you."
Lu Mingwen took the clothes hesitantly. The clothes he was wearing were thin and there was only one. If he wanted to change, he would have to take off his top. He was too embarrassed to do it in front of so many people. Zhang Quanyou pointed to the washroom. "Go inside and change."
He had already changed his clothes. As for the straw sandals … Lu Mingwen moved his toes. "I don't need the shoes. I'm used to wearing this." He would have to walk later on and wearing straw sandals would be faster.
Lu Mingwen hugged the clothes he had changed and stuck close to Lu Jianxun. It was rare that Lu Jianxun did not look down on him. He said in a gentle tone, "Is your head still hurting? Don't be afraid. We'll go to the hospital later."
Zhang Quanyou felt that he was having a terrible headache. He held his forehead and went straight to the point. "Tell me, how much do you want?"
Lu Mingwen looked at Lu Jianxun. Lu Jianxun looked at Li Xueru and smiled. He did not say anything. Zhang Quanyou lost his patience and scolded with a stern face. "Xueru, tell me. What happened?" In this family, Zhang Quanyou might not be involved in the affairs, but if he were to take charge, it would definitely be a big matter.
Luo Xueru did not dare to hide anything. She explained in detail what happened last time. "Dad, it's not my brother's fault. Xiaobo's brand new bicycle was damaged, and they even hit him with a shoulder pole." Country bumpkins were country bumpkins. They only knew how to solve everything by fighting. If it was not for the police who reminded her brother that the Red Guards were here, she would have taught them a lesson that day.
"Nonsense." Zhang Quanyou slapped the stool. "Since Xiaobo accidentally bumped into someone, as his mother, you should apologize to him. Teach him by example. With you as his mother, Xiaobo will definitely be crooked in the future."
Luo Xueru felt wronged. Xiaobo was the only boy in the family. If she did not value him, who would she value? After the incident, she explained to her mother-in-law, but her mother-in-law still felt that she did not beat him up.
After the matter was explained, Zhang Quanyou had a rough idea. "Tell me, what do you want?" At first, he thought that they were here for money. But now, it seemed that it was not the case. As the saying goes, hooligans are not scary. What is scary is a cultured hooligan. The young man in front of him was not easy to fool.
To be honest, Lu Mingwen also did not know why Lu Jianxun insisted on coming to the county town. He definitely did not dare to ask for money. Otherwise, if his mother found out, he would not be able to bear the consequences.
"Well said, well said." Lu Jianxun stood up and shook off the mud on his straw sandals. He raised his hand and pointed at the indignant Luo Xueru. He chuckled and said, "How did you get my second brother to apologize to you that day? Apologize to my second brother today. We are not unreasonable people. If you apologize, this matter will be over."
Lu Mingwen raised his head in surprise. "Fourth Brother."
"I have no choice. The older brother is useless. As the younger brother, I have to help a little. How many times did my second brother bow to you? Do you still remember how much he bowed to you? If you don't remember, you can ask the person who was there that day. " Lu Mingwen bowed at a 90-degree angle. His original intention was to turn a big problem into a small one. But they arrogantly curled their lips and even used their hands to slap his head.
They were blatantly watching them make a fool of themselves.
What his mother taught them the most was that a family should help each other, support each other, and unite. Only then would their days get better and better. If he watched his brother being bullied and did nothing about it, what kind of man would he be?
Luo Xueru's face turned pale. "Don't be shameless. It was your brother who wanted to apologize."
"Then it was you who wanted to apologize today. Of course, you don't have to apologize. I won't force you." Lu Jianxun's face darkened. He looked at Luo Xueru coldly. Although he said he wouldn't force her, his face did not show it. Luo Xueru gritted her teeth and did not speak.
Even the slowest people in the room understood that they did not come for the Zhang family at all. They came for Luo Xueru. Who said that country people did not deserve to have the brains of educated people? The country people in front of them were smarter and more courageous than most educated people. If they had a proper position in the county, they would probably be the kind of people who would be promoted step by step.
"Xueru, quickly apologize. After all, Xiaobo bumped into them twice. If he really goes to the police station and leaves a criminal record, what will happen to Xiaobo in the future?" The one who spoke was Zhang Jiaxin. Her son was the culprit who bumped into people on the bike. She stood on the side nervously and did not dare to speak. Now that she knew that they did it to take revenge on Luo Xueru and her son, she hated this sister-in-law in her heart. Now she only advised her to apologize, but in fact, she was deliberately annoying her.
"Yes, yes, Xueru, hurry up." This time it was Luo Xueru's sister-in-law who spoke. Her husband's cotton-padded jacket was worn by a country bumpkin. No matter how she looked at it, she was not happy. Naturally, she would not let Luo Xueru be happy.
Everyone in the room urged her to apologize. Luo Xueru was so angry that her eyes turned red. She angrily bowed her head and said with resentment in her voice, "I'm sorry."
Lu Mingwen quickly stood up. His whole body was straight. He habitually wanted to reach out and help the other party, but he just stretched out his hand and withdrew it in the middle of the air. Lu Jianxun planned this disaster for him to vent his anger. If he spoke up for Luo Xueru, it would be too inhumane. Therefore, he stood with his back straight and waited for Lu Jianxun to speak.
"Who are you complaining to? I said I won't force you. If you are not willing, just say it. Who doesn't have guests waiting at home during the Spring Festival?" Lu Jianxun would not soften his heart at the sight of a woman. In his eyes, Luo Xueru was an enemy. If he did not make her apologize willingly, the matter would not end.
Luo Xueru glared at him fiercely and bowed. "I'm sorry." This time, her voice was obviously filled with resentment, but it was not good.
"It seems that the mouth of those who are provided with food is hard. Even your apology is in a superior tone. If you don't know, call your son out and let him teach you. The teachers in his school should have taught you what to do if you do something wrong. If they didn't, I can teach him."
Luo Xueru gritted her teeth. Her attitude was a lot more sincere. She bowed 90 degrees. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
After bowing for a total of ten times, Lu Jianxun waved his hand. "Alright, we brothers don't take advantage of others. If you have had enough, then stop." Lu Jianxun looked at the child who opened the door and looked around. He smiled. "Xiaobo, right? You don't have to hate me. This is all your fault. If you had explained to us when you bumped into someone, things wouldn't have developed to this point. Don't think that just because your family has a bit of money and power, you don't see others as human beings. Life is full of ups and downs. Who knows what will happen in the future? Look, didn't I ask your mother to apologize to my brother today?"
When the people in the educated youth room talked about what happened that day, they all advised him to be more vigilant in the future and learn from his second brother. He should not be too impulsive and offend people. Otherwise, he would suffer sooner or later.
He was not sure if he would suffer in the future, but if he kept it in, he would suffer now.
The door was slammed shut. Lu Jianxun shrugged indifferently and said to the old man sitting on the stool, "Since the person involved has apologized, we will go home. Take my brother's cotton-padded jacket as compensation for my family's straw rope. From now on, we are even." Lu Jianxun called Lu Mingwen. "Second brother, let's go."
Luo Xueru was so angry that her teeth itched. She wanted to call someone to stop them, but she heard Lu Jianxun, who had walked to the door, say, "By the way, I advise you not to take revenge on us brothers. Otherwise, next time, we will not meet on the street, but at the police station."
After saying that, he opened the door and walked out. There were a lot of onlookers in the yard, but the two brothers ignored them and walked straight away.
In the house, Zhang Quanyou looked at his daughter-in-law seriously. "What have you taught Xiaobo? If he doesn't want to study, he can play at home. If he wants a bicycle, he can buy a new one. If he is not satisfied, he should dig out his heart and show it to him. I will give my job to my eldest daughter-in-law. I don't care who my eldest daughter-in-law gives it to in the future. As for Xiaobo, I will send him to the army after the first month."
Zhang Quanyou had never felt so humiliated in his decades of life. He had even asked the teacher at Xiaobo's school.
He couldn't even say that Xiaobo had dropped out of school to play at home. He really couldn't afford to lose face like this.
Zhang Quanyou's unit had good salaries and benefits, and many children of leaders were fighting to get in. She had been eyeing this position ever since she married into the family. Unfortunately, Luo Xueru had given birth to a son, so her mother-in-law clamored to give the position to Xiaobo. Her father-in-law also thought so. Since the position was given to Xiaobo, it naturally wouldn't fall to them. However, she didn't expect that her father-in-law would suddenly make such an arrangement.
Very soon, Zhang Quanyou's mother, who had rushed back after hearing the news, heard that the old man had given the position to her eldest daughter-in-law. She quarreled with Zhang Quanyou.
The entire Zhang family was turned upside down.
Lu Jianxun didn't care about this. When he returned to the production team, it was getting dark. Smoke was rising from the chimneys of every household. When he passed by a few houses, they saw that Lu Mingwen was wearing a cotton-padded jacket and curiously asked where they had gone. It was hard to explain in a few sentences, so Lu Jianxun casually said a few words to deceive them and went straight home.
He didn't want to hide it from anyone and told the truth to Xue Huahua the moment he entered the kitchen. Lu Hongying, who was cooking the fire, gave the two of them a thumbs up. "Not bad. I didn't know that you two had the guts."
Lu Mingwen was extremely scared. He kept looking back to see if anyone was following them on the way. He was afraid that the Zhang family would get gangsters to beat them up for revenge. Nothing happened when they returned to the production team. Now that he was home, he felt at ease.
"Second Brother doesn't have the guts. I dragged him there. I don't feel comfortable if they don't compensate us." Lu Jianxun sat down next to Lu Hongying. He bent down and grabbed the straw rope on the ground. The straw rope was tightly twisted. He had to untie it before he could light it. "Third Sister, don't worry. If anyone bullies you in the future, I will find a way to help you take revenge."
It's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. After he calmed down, he carefully studied the details of his revenge. When there was no problem, he carried it out.
Lu Hongying snorted. "Who needs your help? I have my own hands and feet."
"Mom said that we should be united. You are a girl. If your in-laws beat you after you get married, don't hide it from Yingzi's mom. No matter who the other party is, I won't let him go." He had a good memory. He would never forget his revenge.
Lu Mingwen thought that Xue Huahua would scold them. However, Xue Huahua did not say anything. Instead, Lu Dewen asked him. "What if we really bring you to the hospital for a blood test?"
"Second Brother said that he hit his head. Who knows what the results will be?" Lu Jianxun was not afraid. "Whether Second Brother is injured or not, we will have to spend money if we go to the hospital. If the doctor says that he is fine, I will say that their equipment is outdated. I will ask them to go to the city for a checkup. If they can't find anything in the city, we will go to the provincial city. Will they be willing to spend all the money? Moreover, don't people in the city care about their reputation the most? If the news that their son hit someone, they will lose their face. When I heard the old man asking someone to change clothes for Second Brother, I knew that they want to settle this privately. Let's give them some face. "
Otherwise, he would not go to the Zhang family. What if he was killed?
He told Lu Dewen about his concerns, and Lu Dewen agreed. "You are right. They have the final say when we enter their house. We can't go with them easily."
Xue Huahua kneaded the flour with a gentle look. She was wondering why she could not find them for lunch. When she went to the office to ask, Lu Jianguo said that the two brothers went to the county to look for him for a recommendation letter. She guessed that it was because of that incident. She was worried that they would get into trouble because of their impulsive actions. She did not expect that the matter was handled beautifully. Perhaps she should tell Lu Jianxun to be more open-minded and forgive people, but she did not want to do so.
She did not want to plant the seed of cowardice in Lu Jianxun's heart.
Moreover, she believed that Lu Jianxun was not someone who would cause trouble for no reason. If no one offended him, he would not do so.
Xue Huahua did not criticize them and even praised Lu Jianxun. This also explained the purpose of Lu Mingwen's apology. Where there's life, there's hope. If the matter was brought to the police station that day, the two of them would be at a disadvantage.
The two brothers had their own good performances, and Xue Huahua praised them.
Lu Jianxun, who was praised, improved by leaps and bounds in his studies. In the exams at the end of the first month, he scored 80 points in Chinese, Geography, and History, beating Lu Mingwen by 5 points. Everyone could not believe it. The questions for this exam were set by Li Xuemei's grandfather and a few friends. The key points were learned, but the questions were different from before. Many knowledge points were interspersed. It felt like they were asking about the impact of the Opium War, or the cause of the Crow War. The time spent on reading the questions was longer than answering the questions.
This exam was the worst they had ever scored in their history.
If Li Xuemei's standard answers had not been approved by everyone in the educated youth section, they would have doubted the answers.
In the new year, other than the difficulty of the Senior High School curriculum, there were no changes. The Senior High School curriculum was not as monotonous as the Junior High School curriculum. There were many new types of Mathematics questions. Sometimes, a question with only a few words would take a whole page to solve, not to mention the complicated Geography questions, such as high mountains, basins, plains, monsoon ocean climate …
