Chapter 228 Lu Yao, you liar!
Chapter 228 Lu Yao, you liar!
Lu Yao quickly explained to her again.
At this moment, Yang Shouye, Yang Ming, and Yuan Shuya all came out.
While Lu Yao was out, Yang Ming quickly asked his father:
"Why is someone surnamed Lu coming to our house!"
Yang Shouye naturally couldn't tell him that his tail was being held by Lu Yao, and that he was now just a puppet in Lu Yao's hands.
All I can do is comfort my son:
"My child, a gentleman takes revenge even after ten years. A true man can bend and stretch. A small act of impatience can ruin a great plan..."
He said a lot of things, but nothing substantial came of it.
The central idea is simple: we must not provoke Lu Yao right now!
At this moment, Yuan Shuya fawned, "Lu Yao came a while ago, and Dad even asked me to drink with him!"
"What? Dad, are you going to cheat on me?"
Yang Shouye quickly scolded Yuan Shuya: "Silly girl, don't talk nonsense! Didn't I tell you that you mustn't say what I told you not to say?"
Yuan Shuya was so frightened that she quickly lowered her head.
She was indeed very afraid of her father-in-law.
Otherwise, I can't let him bully me all the time.
Yang Shouye then comforted his son:
"Son, Lu Yao is riding high right now. If we confront him head-on, we'll likely both suffer heavy losses. My current strategy is to indulge him, let him become arrogant. Once someone becomes arrogant, they're bound to make mistakes! As Shakespeare said, 'Whom God would destroy, He first makes mad!'"
Yang Ming looked at his father with a puzzled expression:
"Dad, you can use delaying tactics, but please don't use your feminine wiles. My wife is fine with anyone, but not Lu Yao!"
Yuan Shuya looked up from behind: "Then... what about Dad? Is that okay?"
Startled, Yang Shouye turned around and slapped him: "Don't talk, or I'll cut your tongue off."
Startled, Yuan Shuya quickly covered her mouth.
Yang Shouye looked out the window:
"What's that country bumpkin up to? He dragged Shumei into this too. Let's go out and see what's going on. If we don't, people will think our whole family is afraid of him!"
Yang Ming nodded: "Yes, let's go out and see. Who's afraid of him?"
After saying that, he pulled Yuan Shuya to stand in front of him and walked out.
When I came out, I saw that Lu Yao and Yuan Shumei had returned and were talking at the gate.
Seeing that they had all come out, Lu Yao stopped talking.
"Then I'll head back to the militia company first. You guys come inside and have your meal."
As he turned to leave, Yuan Shumei quickly took off her coat and gave it to him:
"Thank you for your coat!"
Looking at them, Yuan Shuya couldn't help but sigh, "You two are so romantic, are you dating?"
Yuan Shumei glared at her, blushed, and went inside.
Lu Yao said, "My gun is still inside the house."
Yang Shouye quickly said, "Yang Ming, go and get the gun for Company Commander Lu."
"Why!"
Yang Ming jogged into the house, picked up the Mauser pistol, touched it with interest, and then jogged back to deliver it to Lu Yao.
His posture was like that of a soldier serving a superior officer.
Yuan Shumei doesn't look like Yang Ming beat up Lu Yao. Why does it seem like Yang Ming is afraid of Lu Yao?
Did you feel guilty after beating him up?
Yang Ming doesn't seem like a person with a conscience!
I watched from the window as Lu Yao slung his gun over his shoulder and walked away.
I couldn't help but feel that this young man was dignified and composed, with the demeanor of a great general. Compared to him, Yang Ming was... a bit sleazy!
Lu Yao left the Yang family.
Headed straight to the commune.
He had made it clear to Yang Shouye that this guy wouldn't dare to oppose him anymore.
The next step is to start preparing to build greenhouses and a winery.
However, even if I had three thousand yuan, I couldn't just show it off; it had to be laundered first.
Otherwise, in an era where annual income is only a few hundred or eighty yuan, how did you come to have such a huge sum of money? It's hard to say.
It's fine if no one checks, but it's troublesome if someone does.
It will be several more years before the reform and opening up.
It is said that the times make heroes; if you are born at the wrong time, even a dragon cannot make a big splash.
Despite his exceptional money-making skills, Lu Yao could only put up with it for the time being and engage in small-scale operations.
Now, any skills we have can only be used within the commune collective to generate revenue for the collective.
It's impossible to become rich on your own.
Every step must be taken with caution, laying the foundation for going solo in the future.
When the reform and opening-up policy sweeps across the land in a few years, that will be the time for me, Lu Yao, to truly shine.
We drove all the way back to the commune.
I saw Zheng Wenli sticking his butt out in front of a snowdrift in the yard, his hands stuck in the snow, doing something I didn't know.
She gave him a light kick in the butt: "Little Zheng, what are you doing?"
Zheng Wenli exclaimed, "Oh dear!"
His right hand was stuck in the snowdrift, while his left hand quickly covered his buttocks.
He turned and glared angrily at Lu Yao:
"What are you doing, Company Commander Lu? Don't you know he has a wound on his butt? Just talk to him, why are you kicking me?"
Lu Yao laughed heartily: "I forgot your butt is very precious. So what are you doing here? There are bird eggs in the snowdrift, what are you digging for?"
Zheng Wenli sighed: "A little lunatic came by just now. Oh right, she was looking for you. I didn't tell her, and she actually stuffed snow down my neck. I was pouring water and it scalded me. Liang Xiaohong said it wouldn't hurt if it was cold, and it wouldn't blister. Now it hurts as soon as I take it out."
Lu Yao pulled his hand out to take a look.
Bright red, frozen.
It doesn't seem like it's burned that badly; this kid is just naturally fussy.
I never imagined Zheng Shuang's father was so fragile.
Later, Zheng Shuang burned her hand bright red while making tea. Lu Yao felt sorry for her and quickly applied medicine, but she said it wasn't necessary and that rinsing it with cold water would be enough.
She's even stronger than her father.
Lu Yao ignored the young man.
Turn around and walk towards the militia company in the backyard.
Zheng Wenli caught up with him, holding a handful of snow:
"Don't go, Xiao Lu! Have you done what I asked you to do?"
"What's up?"
"Ding Mei, have you forgotten? You rode the bike for nothing?"
Zheng Wenli looked a little unhappy.
"Oh, I remember now. You have to take it slow. Xiao Mei's leg isn't fully healed yet, and she's got a bad temper. She gets angry as soon as this is mentioned. Wait, don't rush me. I'm not in a hurry, so why are you?"
Zheng Wenli felt uneasy listening to this.
What do you mean you're not in a hurry? Of course you're not in a hurry. You've caused such a mess that girls are coming to the commune to complain to you. Of course you're not in a hurry.
He grabbed Lu Yao:
"That won't do. Did you tell Ding Mei or not? You seem a bit unreliable to me. Are you just trying to trick me into letting you ride the bike?"
Lu Yao laughed: "You're not the only one in the commune with a bicycle, why would I lie to you about riding one!"
Zheng Wenli still wouldn't let up: "No, you have to get this done for me quickly. You must give me news before the New Year. You're not in a hurry, but I am!"
Lu Yao laughed and said, "What, in such a hurry to have a daughter? You're quite ambitious! How about this, I'll introduce you to someone else, what do you think of this little girl who's too hot to handle? Or I can introduce her to you, and you two have a child, and I'll see who the child looks like."
Zheng Wenli glared angrily: "Are you out of your mind? I wouldn't even take ten thousand yuan as a bride price from that crazy girl! My feelings for Ding Mei are as clear as day. Stop talking nonsense and just tell me if you'll help me or not. If you don't help me, I'll ride my bike even if I have to crawl between my legs and go to Jiapigou to tell you!"
Lu Yao scratched his head, thinking that he really didn't dare to mention Zheng Wenli in front of Ding Mei right now.
"Why don't you try it yourself? If you want my help, it definitely won't work the first year!"
"Damn it, Lu Yao, you liar! You never intended to help me!"
Zheng Wenli angrily shoved Lu Yao and raised his leg to kick back.
