When Wu Liangmin heard Lu Tao ask about his wife and child again, he blinked his small eyes. His face suddenly showed a sad and pained expression, and he said in a very helpless tone, "Section Chief Lu, this matter is a disgrace to all eight generations of my ancestors! I'll tell you the truth: Su Lihong disliked me for being a cripple for a long time. After giving birth to her first son, she cheated on me and became the mistress of a big real estate boss in Songshan city. She even gave birth to a son for him, the three year old boy in the picture.
"I heard that the real estate boss treated her very well and bought her a villa and a luxury car. This is too embarrassing, so I've never told anyone about it. You've helped me a lot today, so you're my benefactor. That's why I'm telling you. I hope you can take care of my face and don't tell anyone else about this. Otherwise, I really won't have the face to live anymore! "
Lu Tao saw that although Wu Liangmin pretended to be ashamed and sorrowful when he said those words, his small eyes kept rolling around. It was obvious that he was reciting the story that others had told him. Lu Tao knew that this was also a set of words that Li Weijun had made up for him in advance to deal with those who questioned his wife's luxurious life. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. It seemed that it would take a lot of effort to get the truth out of Wu Liangmin...
Thus, he changed the topic of Su Lihong and asked, "Is Secretary Li Weijun really your cousin? How's your relationship with him? "
Wu Liangmin saw that he suddenly asked about Li Weijun and stared at him vigilantly. He shook his head and said, "I basically don't have any contact with him. I'm a poor farmer and a cripple, while he's the Secretary of the Town Party Committee. Although we're cousins, he's never considered a poor relative like me. Sometimes, when he comes to Stone Keng Village and I see him, I greet him, but he doesn't even acknowledge me. "
Lu Tao saw that he was full of lies and couldn't help but expose him, "As far as I know, your cousin has been taking good care of you these past few years. I heard that every year he gets relief funds from the Civil Affairs Bureau and the town for you, and it's much higher than the average poor person. Moreover, you originally didn't meet the criteria of a poor family, but your cousin used his connections to keep your status as a poor family every year. I also heard that you were arrested by the police in Dalong Town for breaking the law, and it was your cousin who bailed you out using his connections. Just now, you told me that he didn't treat you as a relative at all, and even ignored you when we met. Isn't that a little too fake? "
Wu Liangmin's face changed as he stared at Lu Tao. His eyes were full of questions, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
When Lu Tao saw his suspicious look, he immediately regretted it. Why was he so immature and careless? It was the first time he had met Wu Liangmin, and if he kept asking about his relationship with Li Weijun, it would definitely arouse his suspicions. What if he guessed his true purpose and told Li Weijun about it? Wouldn't that alert the enemy?
Sure enough, after staring at Lu Tao for more than a minute, Wu Liangmin suddenly asked, "Mr. Lu, why are you asking about my wife and the relationship between me and my cousin Li Weijun? Why are you asking so many questions about me? You just helped me put in a good word for me in front of Baldy San, and even promised to help me. You just wanted to ask about these things, right? Also, where did you hear those rumors you mentioned just now? Did Mayor Huang tell you that? "
When Lu Tao heard his series of questions, he cursed in his heart. After thinking for a bit, he replied, "I already told you that the situation of your wife and child, as well as the situation of your cousin taking care of you, were all reported to me and Mayor Huang by some people in Stone Pit Village who knew the inside story. Because these situations are very important to determine if you're really poor or not, I asked a few more questions. Don't make wild guesses. "
Wu Liangmin snorted in disbelief. He tilted his head and thought for a bit before saying, "Mr. Lu, don't hide it anymore. These things must have been told to you by Huang Zeke. He has a lot of opinions about my cousin and has always wanted to catch him red-handed, so he made up a lot of rumors to frame him. You mustn't believe him. "
At this point, Lu Tao was convinced that under the current situation, it was completely impossible to convince Wu Liangmin to turn against Li Weijun. If things went wrong, he might even tell Li Weijun. In that case, Li Weijun would be vigilant and on guard. If he moved Su Lihong and her son to another province or even a foreign country, then there would be no way to bring him down with the issue of "keeping a mistress"!
Moreover, through these few hours of interaction, it could be seen that although Wu Liangmin ate, drank, gambled, and drank, he was not a simple and gullible hooligan. On the contrary, he was very cunning and very alert. When it came to anything related to Li Weijun and Su Lihong, he would either keep his mouth shut or lie endlessly. In any case, he would not reveal the truth.
The most important point was that Li Weijun might have already expected that people would question the relationship between Wu Liangmin and Su Lihong, and that they would also question Su Lihong's current living situation. Therefore, he prepared a few responses in advance for Wu Liangmin, and these responses were more reasonable.
For example, Wu Liangmin said that the reason why Su Lihong could live a luxurious life was because she was kept by a big boss. This was a very common phenomenon in today's society. Moreover, Su Lihong was very beautiful, so she did have the capital and conditions to be kept by a big boss. If this was used to deal with the villagers who did not know the inside story, it was estimated that ninety percent of them would believe it …
From this point of view, if they wanted to force Wu Liangmin to tell the truth and let him stand up to testify that Li Weijun kept a mistress, they would need to think of another way. And they could not be too hasty, otherwise, it might backfire!
Thinking of this, Lu Tao stood up and said to Wu Liangmin, "Since you think that I have an ulterior motive for looking for you to understand the situation, then there is no need for us to talk anymore. Goodbye!"
Wu Liangmin originally wanted to beg him to talk to Baldy San and not force him to pay the debt, but on second thought, he gave up on this idea. He watched Lu Tao walk out of the bedroom without saying a word, then listened carefully. When he heard that Lu Tao's footsteps had gone far away, he immediately picked up his phone and called Li Weijun's number again.
After the call was connected, Wu Liangmin lowered his voice and said in a tone of praise, "Cousin, I found out an important situation today. Someone seems to be targeting you and causing trouble."
Li Weijun was probably shocked, and quickly asked, "What's the situation? Who is targeting me and causing trouble? "
