Chapter 321 Some Trouble Encountered While Building the Greenhouse
Lu Yao simply placed his hand on Yuan Shumei's leg and tucked his feet into Ding Mei's quilt, thus sitting between the two of them and chatting.
Yuan Shumei's state of mind was different from the two men's; she couldn't go home and had no interest in chatting.
He asked Lu Yao, "When can I go home? Has Director Mei made any progress in solving the case?"
Lu Yao shook his head: "I went into the mountains to rescue people last night. I'll go to the city to ask around today. Don't worry, just stay here. If Xiao Meizi isn't feeling well, come to my house."
Ding Mei reached out and pinched Lu Yao's cotton-padded trousers:
"Dream on. Why would I go to your house? I'm perfectly fine at my place."
Yuan Shumei sighed and said, "If this case doesn't get solved, I can't keep hiding forever. I still have to go to work."
Lu Yao patted her leg to comfort her:
"Forget about that class. I also want to tell you, if I ever open a winery, you should quit your job and come help me."
"Resign? Although I'm not a state-owned enterprise, I still have a formal job at a local state-owned enterprise in Jiangzhou. How could I possibly resign!"
Lu Yao smiled.
During the planned economy era, formal employment was highly valued.
Central state-owned enterprises and local state-owned enterprises were considered to have "iron rice bowls" (guaranteed jobs), which were considered superior to jobs in large collective enterprises.
Before the reform and opening up, it was difficult for people of that era to understand the concept of going into business.
Besides, it's too early to say anything now.
After all, it's unlikely that there will be any private companies for the time being.
People say that times create heroes; if you're born at the wrong time, you have to coil up if you're a dragon, and lie low if you're a tiger.
Let's wait for the right opportunity.
Shifting the topic:
"Shumei, don't worry. Anyway, you won't be able to go to work for a while. In a few days, Shi Shouyin and the others will be on holiday for the New Year and will definitely go back to their hometown. You will be safe for the time being."
When Shi Shouyin is mentioned, Yuan Shumei can't help but grit her teeth in hatred.
"This guy is too arrogant. Not only did he beat me up like this, but he also killed Xiao Zhao. I...I..."
I wanted to say I wouldn't let him get away with it.
But then I realized that this was just empty talk, and I was powerless to do anything about it.
Even Grandpa and Dad were afraid of the Shi family's power.
If you hit yourself, you can't even call the police; there's no one to testify for you.
He killed someone and still got away with it.
This is a grudge I can't possibly avenge myself.
Lu Yao patted her leg again:
"Don't worry, Shumei, you will definitely get your revenge, it's just a matter of time."
"Yes, I hope justice will prevail."
Lu Yao had something on his mind, but he couldn't say it aloud.
Even if Mei Ping couldn't catch Shi Shouyin, he was determined to kill him.
It would be better if Shi Shouyin returned to Liaochun during the Spring Festival holiday; then let him die in his hometown.
Historians would not suspect that it was done by people from Jiangzhou.
Lu Yao has never been able to kill anyone he wants.
His only concern now is that he doesn't want to implicate his family or expose himself.
Because in this life he longed for a peaceful environment to spend time with his family.
If this were in my previous life abroad, I would have already been sniping near Shi Shouyin's office with a sniper rifle.
Ding Mei leaned forward and said, "Sister Shumei, don't get upset. If you can't go home, then don't. You'll get married sooner or later anyway, and you can't stay at your parents' house after you're married. You can spend the New Year at my house, and I'll have Tuwazi come over to help us set off firecrackers. Those boys are brave enough to hold and set off double-bang firecrackers with their hands."
The three were talking when Ding Dahu's voice came from outside the window:
"Little Meizi, is that Tuwazi here?"
"Dad, how did you know?"
"I noticed a patch of snow missing from the top of the wall. Someone jumped over the wall. Who else could it be but him?"
Lu Yao laughed heartily: "It's me, Uncle Da Hu, what's up?"
As she spoke, she reached out and pulled back the curtains.
Ding Dahu peered through the frost-covered cracks in the window.
Seeing Lu Yao kicking Ding Mei on the kang (heated brick bed) while Yuan Shumei was using her head as a pillow, he couldn't help but frown:
Damn, this kid is awesome!
Xiao Meizi was surprisingly able to blend in between the two of them, and she wasn't even angry.
If I were lying on my sister-in-law's lap, Xie Chunfang would have gotten anxious long ago.
He knocked on the window: "Hey kid, come here, I have something to say to you."
"What did you say?"
"It's about the greenhouse, it's a bit of a hassle. Come on over, and don't be irresponsible."
Lu Yao got out of bed and put on his shoes:
"How am I not serious?"
He kissed Ding Mei and said, "I'll talk to you two when I get back. Don't get up, it's warm in bed."
He then kissed Tiger Girl again.
He looked at Yuan Shumei.
Yuan Shumei quickly covered her face with the blanket:
"Stop messing around!"
"Hey, I'm not going to kiss you, look how scared you are."
Lu Yao went out.
Ding Mei lifted the blanket and leaned closer:
"Sister Shumei, did Tuwazi put his hand under your blanket just now? Did he grope you?"
Yuan Shumei pushed her head: "Go away, go away, you're talking nonsense again."
Ding Mei chuckled, "It's alright, I'm not angry. If he touches you, just pinch him. That kid's got a habit of touching you."
"..."
Yuan Shumei was speechless. Did this little girl have some kind of bad habit?
……
After greeting Lu Yao, Ding Dahu turned and headed back.
I got up to feed the cows just now and saw that the snow on the wall had fallen, so I guessed that Lu Yao had come.
At this moment, I realized that Xie Chunfang hadn't gotten out of bed yet.
She called Lu Yao over, lest she get out of bed again.
Don't let Lu Yao see you with your bare bottom showing and make you suffer.
Walk a few steps quickly back to the house:
"Get up and get dressed quickly, Lu Yao is here."
Xie Chunfang got up lazily and put on her vest, shorts, sweater, and trousers one by one.
Just as I finished dressing, Lu Yao came in:
"Uncle Tiger, what's the problem?"
Ding Dahu asked Lu Yao to sit down and handed him a Daqianmen cigarette.
"Just a few days ago, I took Wang Laoba and Fugui to transport stones to build a wall on the back mountain. The stones were all transported back from Shilazi Mountain on the west slope of Rabbit Ridge."
Lu Yao nodded: "Yes, in the dead of winter, you can only get stones from the piles of rocks over at Shilazi Mountain."
"But yesterday, Sun Erlaizi, the village head of Shilaizi Village, led his villagers out to stop them, saying that disturbing Shilaizi Mountain would disturb the feng shui of their village. This guy was even carrying a double-barreled shotgun, and he looked like he was going to kill someone."
"Sun Erlaizi? He's become the brigade leader now?"
"Yeah, he's only been in office for less than a month, so he's just putting on airs."
"So what did you say?" Lu Yao asked, knowing that Ding Dahu was no pushover.
His five consecutive shots were aimed at Niu Wannian from Shanghewan Village.
Lu Yao asked Ding Dahu, "So what are you planning to do?"
"I was just asking for your opinion. If this were before, I would have beaten that bastard to a pulp!"
Ding Dahu wasn't bragging when he said that.
They certainly have that capability.
However, Sun Erlaizi Lu Yao also knew that he was a tough nut to crack.
I once made a bet of ten yuan with someone that I would have my finger chopped off.
For ten yuan, he chopped off half of his little finger with a "bang".
The other party was pretty ruthless too, they chopped off half of their little finger as well.
Sun Erlaizi chopped off two more fingers, leaving only his thumb and index finger on his left hand.
The other party immediately backed down.
Sun Erlaizi won ten yuan, but spent nine yuan and fifty cents at the hospital to treat his wounds.
This idiot actually became the brigade leader. I don't know what Yang Shouye was thinking.
Ding Dahu continued, "But I thought that now that you're the captain, I can't cause you any trouble, so I held back and didn't argue with him. I wanted to come back and ask you how to handle it."
