Chapter 327: Why Are You Taking Revenge On My Family?
Qin Hengzhi smiled faintly: “Not bad, about the same as every time.”
As he spoke, he stopped the car on the roadside. The two had been partners for several months, had good impressions of each other, and naturally had kissed.
Lu Qiaoge thought Qin Hengzhi wanted to kiss her, so she proactively leaned over, ready for a kiss.
Kissing Qin Hengzhi, she didn’t mind at all.
Qin Hengzhi was good-looking, and not only did he have a good temperament, his breath was like morning green pine.
Biting his lips was like biting candied hawthorn.
Kissing him made both body and mind pleased.
Unexpectedly, Qin Hengzhi picked up a bag and looked at Lu Qiaoge in surprise: “What are you doing?”
Lu Qiaoge wasn’t shy, instead saying: “I’ll smell if there’s any other woman’s scent on you.”
Qin Hengzhi: ……
Lu Qiaoge wasn’t embarrassed, but Qin Hengzhi’s ears turned red. He helplessly pinched Lu Qiaoge’s face and said gently: “I got you a few pieces of Hetian jade seed material. This one has been processed by someone I found, and the others are in the trunk.”
As he spoke, he opened the bag and handed Lu Qiaoge a piece of jade about the size of a goose egg.
Lu Qiaoge took it; it was warm and fine, with an excellent feel.
This piece was sheep fat white jade, of top quality. Those who didn’t know would think it was a goose egg.
It was a hand-held play piece.
Cool and moist to hold, one could feel energy coming from inside.
Lu Qiaoge tried to control herself not to absorb this piece of white jade. White jade of this quality was really hard to find.
It was truly one less once discovered.
It would be too much of a pity to turn it into fragments.
Lu Qiaoge controlled the energy well, held the white jade with a beaming smile, and asked: “Did you go to Jiang Province?”
Qin Hengzhi nodded and asked again: “Do you like it?”
Lu Qiaoge: “I like it very much. Tonight I’ll hold it while sleeping.”
Qin Hengzhi’s face turned red again.
Lu Qiaoge deliberately said: “Why is your face red? It’s not like I’m holding you……”
Qin Hengzhi interrupted her: “If you insist on talking like that, then I’ll submit a marriage report to the organization.”
Lu Qiaoge burst out laughing.
Qin Hengzhi helplessly started the car, carrying his beloved partner toward the state-run restaurant.
—
Master Zhong and Master Lu’s home issues were resolved quite easily.
Lu Qiaoge brought people from the neighborhood committee service station, who were currently workers at the food factory.
They voluntarily helped repair the roof.
After repairing it, they went to Master Lu’s home. After some persuasion, Master Lu said: “Then you manage the upstairs too. If they stop making noise, I guarantee not to make noise either.”
Upstairs was Cadre Wu’s home from the labor union.
Lu Qiaoge and Shao Le knocked on the door. Behind them, Master Lu and Master Zhong exchanged a glance, then both snorted and looked away.
Lu Qiaoge came at noon, and Shao Le sacrificed his lunch break time.
The door was opened, and Lu Qiaoge looked inside, discovering there were too many people in this family.
Crowded together, nearly a dozen people.
Men, women, old, and young all present.
After asking, she learned that Cadre Wu’s parents from his hometown had come with his two younger brothers’ family to seek refuge.
There were four children under ten, and three over ten.
It was almost like a nursery.
Cadre Wu looked very haggard.
Cadre Wu’s wife saw Lu Qiaoge, her eyes lit up, wanting to say something, but she swallowed the words.
The two younger brothers-in-law along with the parents-in-law had been living there for nearly half a month, and she was about to go mad.
But the heavy rain in autumn back home caused mountain floods, washing away their houses. They had nowhere to go now; how could she drive them away?
Shao Le asked: “Cadre Wu, with so many guests in your home, have you registered at the neighborhood committee?”
Old Master Wu was unhappy: “We’re not guests; this is my son’s home.”
After understanding the situation with Cadre Wu, Lu Qiaoge smiled directly and said: “Old Master Wu, if it were a bungalow, even if our kids bounced a big pit in the ground, it wouldn’t be a big problem. But in a building, no. Below one floor’s ceiling is another family. Bouncing around like that, they hear it clearly downstairs and it affects their life.”
It was the first time someone called him Old Master Wu. Old Master Wu was very pleased. The other was a cadre from the neighborhood committee and spoke pleasantly, so he said: “Little cadre, don’t worry. I’ll watch the kids and not let them bounce around.”
Lu Qiaoge said: “Then I’ll trouble you, Old Master.”
Then she casually asked: “Old Master, with the houses washed away, won’t they rebuild?”
Cadre Wu’s wife’s eyes lit up, looking at Lu Qiaoge with the gaze of a relative.
This Lu Qiaoge, who almost became Old Liang’s daughter-in-law, really knew how to talk.
Over there, the old woman tugged at the old man’s clothes sleeve.
Old Man Wu ignored her. The city was good, but how could a crowded small building compare to their own small courtyard?
Besides, they didn’t have local household registration yet, so no opportunity for recruitment.
Having so many people live in the eldest son’s home wasn’t a long-term plan.
He said: “They didn’t say they’d rebuild. They want us to figure it out ourselves first, seems like waiting until next year.”
Lu Qiaoge: “Will next year delay the spring plowing?”
Then she asked: “How big is your village?”
Old Master: “Over a hundred households, basically all affected.”
“Want me to make a phone call to your village for you?”
Cadre Wu had actually always wanted to call and ask. Even if he was filial, the current situation was very headache-inducing.
A forty-plus square meter house without a courtyard, everyone living together—who could stand it long-term?
Fortunately, the parents brought grain. Otherwise, there’d really be nowhere to buy grain.
But if he called, the parents would know. Mother always wanted to come to the city, bringing the two younger brothers, but it wasn’t that easy.
The family courtyard had so many unemployed youth educated youth and high school graduates without arrangements.
He hurriedly said: “Comrade Lu, that would be troubling you.”
Unexpectedly, the old woman plopped down on the ground, slapping her thigh and wailing: “Oh my heavens, this is terrible. They’re all forcing us to death one by one. Home gone, houses gone, unfilial son and daughter-in-law want to force us out. We might as well all jump in the river and end it.”
Cadre Wu’s face changed instantly.
Cadre Wu’s wife Zhao Xiuzhi looked unpleasant. This crying and wailing posture was really hard to deal with.
She went forward to help her up, coaxing gently: “Mom, just asking about the situation. No one’s driving you away. Get up quick; the ground is cold.”
The old woman pushed Zhao Xiuzhi down, cursing: “It’s you, you homewrecker. You’re the one inciting my son to drive us away…… Aah, I don’t want to live.”
Old Master Wu usually didn’t care about his old woman’s antics, as she never suffered losses, but today, feeling he had face, seeing the surprised glance from little Comrade Lu made his face flush red.
At this moment, the old woman wasn’t just slapping her thigh; she also picked up an iron box from the side and banged it clang clang.
Old Lu’s eyes lit up: “That’s right, that’s the sound. I hear it clearly from downstairs. When it suddenly rings out, it scares me into a shiver.”
Master Zhong glared at him: “Then why don’t you come up and ask? Why retaliate against my home? Are you sick?”
