Chapter 474 Don’t Be so Arrogant

Liuqiao Township, Qianjin Village, Village Brigade.

Liu Zhimin lifted the steaming kettle off the stove, made himself a new cup of tea, and then put the kettle on the stove again, making a resentful thumping sound.

It was already the end of the twelfth lunar month, and every family in the village was busy with the New Year, but Liu Zhimin was assigned to be on duty in the village brigade, so starting from this morning, he felt resentful in his heart.

I am a marginal person on weekdays, but when I am on duty, I become a core member? Should I feel honored?

What made him even more angry was that a family in the village was having a treat today and invited everyone from the village brigade, but he was entrusted with an important task. Do you think he should be angry?

"Ling ring ring~ ring ring ring~"

The phone on the table rang suddenly, which made Liu Zhimin, who was holding a tea cup to warm his hands, stunned for a moment, and then suddenly became ecstatic.

The phone number in Qianjin Village is basically an official phone number. As long as the call comes in, it is most likely to convey instructions.

It's the end of the twelfth lunar month, and there are still things to be arranged, which must be very important, and I, a person who is usually not qualified to answer the phone, can finally tell me my name.

"Hello, I am Liu Zhimin, where are you from?"

"I'm looking for Lu Ruichang. Please call him and let him answer the phone."

"Are you looking for Principal Lu? Who are you and which unit do you belong to? What business do you have with him?"

When Liu Zhimin heard the voice of a young man on the other end of the phone, and it was a call to find someone, he was immediately discouraged, and his tone of voice was naturally completely different.

The other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds before saying, "I have something very important to do with Lu Ruichang. Please use the loudspeaker to call him and ask him to come and answer the phone right away."

"I said you are causing trouble, right?" Liu Zhimin said angrily: "Who are you? Which unit do you belong to? What's the matter? Are you allowed to shout whatever you want through the loudspeaker?"

"."

"I'm looking for Lu Ruichang because of the matter between his son Lu Zixue and Gao Xiaoyan. Comrade Liu, please take this matter seriously because it involves human lives. I'll call back in ten minutes. Be sure to let Lu Ruichang answer the phone then."

"Dududu~"

The call was hung up just like that, leaving Liu Zhimin confused. However, Li Ye's words "it involves human lives" were still very heavy, and Liu Zhimin couldn't help but take it seriously.

So a minute later, the loudspeaker of Qianjin Village rang.

"Lu Ruichang, Lu Ruichang, someone called you to tell you about your son and Gao Xiaoyan. Come over and answer the phone right away, Lu Ruichang."

Five minutes later, a man hurriedly ran into the village brigade of Qianjin Village.

Liu Zhimin took a look and saw that it was Lu Ruichang's cousin Lu Tao.

Lu Tao said displeased when he entered the door: "I said Liu Zhimin, what are you shouting in the loudspeaker? What does Gao Xiaoyan and Li Xiaoyan have to do with my nephew? Are you just shouting indiscriminately?"

Liu Zhimin also drooped his face and said very unhappily: "That's what I said when I called you. I didn't yell a word. I'm just looking for someone from your Lu family. Why are you complaining about me?" ?”

"Oh, I'm not blaming you," Lu Tao said irritably, "This is because someone is causing trouble. Today my eldest niece is back. My fourth brother is having a treat at his house, and people from the countryside are also here. Please stop yelling in case you offend him. People from the countryside can’t be left behind, right?”

Lu Tao muttered irritably, threw a pack of cigarettes on the desk, then turned to leave.

Liu Zhimin hurriedly said: "They said they would call again in a while, and I want your fourth brother to answer the phone!"

Lu Tao said without looking back: "No answer, no answer. We don't know Gao Xiaoyan or Ma Xiaoyan. Liu Zhimin, don't make trouble! Today is my mother's birthday, so don't make trouble."

"."

Seeing Lu Tao leave the brigade headquarters in a hurry, Liu Zhimin couldn't help laughing and said, "It's strange that we don't know each other. You are so snobbish and look down on others, why do you still blame me for yelling?"

A few minutes later, the phone rang again.

Liu Zhimin picked up the phone and said, "Where are you from?"

The person on the other side said: "I'm looking for Lu Ruichang and ask him to answer the phone."

Liu Zhimin said lazily: "I told you not to answer your calls, and that I don't know Gao Xiaoyan or Li Xiaoyan."

"."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for four or five seconds, and then an eerie voice came over.

"Then I'll trouble Comrade Liu one more time. Please tell Lu Ruichang that his son Liu Meng is about to commit a crime. I'll give him an hour. If he doesn't appear in front of me after an hour, I will go to the relevant departments to testify against Lu Zixue. crime"

"."

The lazy Liu Zhimin suddenly became excited. He immediately asked: "Who are you? Don't say such nonsense!"

"Today, Lu Ruichang's daughter came back from overseas. The family is serving wine and entertaining guests, and people from the countryside are also here. If you dare to cause trouble, you won't be able to eat what you are carrying around."

"."

"I'm Li Ye, it's better if Lu Jingyao comes back, just say a few words to her, Santiao Police Station, Guan Yueming,

Now Gao Xiaoyan is kneeling in front of my house and asking me to testify for him. I only give them one hour. After one hour, I will send Gao Xiaoyan to the X detention center. "

"Ah? Are you Li Ye? Hey hey hey~"

"Dududu~"

The phone was hung up again, but Liu Zhimin, who was put down, was not angry, but laughed sarcastically.

"Hahaha, God is watching what you do, do you really think there will be no retribution for violating your conscience?"

Liu Zhimin put the pack of cigarettes left by Lu Tao into his pocket and strolled towards Lu's house.

Today, the old lady of the Lu family celebrated her birthday. Everyone from the village brigade was invited, but Liu Zhimin was not invited. He was put on duty in the village brigade. It was about Lu Jingyao's incident back then. He said a few "fair words".

It was nothing at first, Liu Zhimin was telling the truth, but in just two years, the situation has changed.

Lu Jingyao went abroad and made a lot of money, Lu Ruichang was transferred to a primary school as the principal, and Lu Zixue was admitted to university. The Lu family seemed to be the number one family in Qianjin Village. Everyone supported them and secretly suppressed the talkative Liu Zhimin.

Placing one's superiors over others' subordinates is not just a bad habit in the workplace, it is also prevalent in villages and towns.

But who would have thought that the situation would turn around. Li Ye, who had been annulled back then, came to seek explanation. The Lu family wouldn't even let anyone in. Now, they are coming back.

. . . . . . . .

The Lu family is very lively today.

The old lady of the Lu family is eighty years old this year. All her six sons and three daughters gathered in Qianjin Village to celebrate her birthday. People from the village even came, and seven sumptuous banquets were laid out. Everyone ate and drank happily.

Only Lu Jingyao didn't move his chopsticks much. He sat there quietly, out of tune with the people around him.

It's just that she wants to be quiet, but others keep talking to her.

"Xiaoyao! You will graduate with a bachelor's degree next year, right? After graduation, will you be assigned to the capital city? Or our provincial capital?"

"Auntie, the undergraduate course in Britain lasts for three years. I have already graduated. However, I am going to graduate school again, and it may take a few more years before I can come back."

"Hey, do you want to study until twenty-four or five? Isn't this delaying a life-long event? Tell aunt, is there anyone you are talking about in school? If not, aunt will tell you one, too. College Students."

"Haha~"

Lu Jingyao smiled and did not continue talking.

She actually didn't want to come back. Ever since she came back before going abroad, she had never returned to Qingshui County. Even when she came back this summer to deal with Lu Zixue's affairs, she only came to the capital and didn't even return home.

But this time she received a call from home, saying that her mother was ill and that she missed her so much that she became ill.

Lu Jingyao didn't dare to delay and flew back quickly.

As a result, she hurriedly hurried and rushed back this morning, but she felt that her mother's illness was just a cover, and it was real for her to come back to "grow face" for the family.

"My daughter may be tired of it, so she can earn foreign exchange in some country~"

"Okay, okay, I'll talk to my daughter later and see if she's still well off."

Thanks to Lu Jingyao's foreign exchange, the family has been doing well in the past two years. They rebuilt a big house and their father was transferred from a rural middle school to an elementary school as the principal. Grandma also came to live with her father.

So on grandma’s 80th birthday, how could the “brightest star” in the family not come back?

As a result, within an hour of returning home, my younger brother came over again and said that he needed some foreign exchange, saying that he had several connections at school that needed to be moved around.

Lu Jingyao was so angry that he almost got angry, but he suppressed it because of his grandma's birthday.

She felt that she had to have a good talk with her family. The family had been too impetuous in the past two years, especially her younger brother Lu Zixue. If she didn't teach her well, something would happen sooner or later.

But what she didn't expect was that something had happened to Lu Zixue.

Grandma's birthday banquet was just in the middle of the day when the loudspeaker in the village shouted "Ula-hoo-hoo", and then the sixth uncle, Lu Tao, ran out in a hurry.

Lu Jingyao was a little confused and asked his younger brother Lu Zixue, but Lu Zixue was hesitant and couldn't explain.

Ten minutes later, Liu Zhimin from the village brigade came to the door.

"Old Lu, Principal Lu, let me tell you something! Someone in the county called just now, saying that Gao Xiaoyan is kneeling in front of Li Ye's house! I want you to rush there within an hour, or else Li Ye and Gao Xiaoyan will Went to X bureau.”

"."

Liu Zhimin did not lower his voice deliberately. The dozens of people who were eating and drinking in the Lu family's courtyard and house did not pay attention at first, but when he spoke later, almost all of them heard him clearly.

Then there was silence, an excruciatingly embarrassing silence.

Lu Ruichang, who was sitting at the main table, was stunned.

He had no idea how this matter had something to do with Li Ye, and that Liu Zhimin actually said such a thing in front of so many people.

As the saying goes, keep a thin line in life so that we can meet each other easily in the future. How could you Liu Zhimin do that?

Didn’t I just invite you to drink?

"Liu, what are you talking about?"

Lu Tao stood up angrily, came over and pushed Liu Zhimin out: "I just told you not to make trouble, don't make trouble, what's the matter, who is not watching my mother's eightieth birthday and insisting on coming to make trouble with our Lu family? "

Liu Zhimin stretched out his hand and pulled Lu Tao aside, and said angrily: "Who will go with you? I'm just answering the phone at the village brigade, and I came here to send you a message. They said that if you don't go, you will sue Lu Zixue Liu Mengzui, it’s my fault whether you want to go or not?”

"."

"Buzz~"

The Lu family exploded. Dozens of relatives and friends all looked at Lu Ruichang and Lu Zixue in shock, and then whispered to each other about everything.

Liu Zhimin couldn't help but sneer in his heart when he looked at the scene in front of him.

Ever since the Lu family became prosperous, they had always shown off in front of him. A few days ago, Lu Zixue had stuck out his chin and made sarcastic remarks to him!

Why did you offend me and forget about it so quickly?

As a human being, you better not be so arrogant!

Lu Jingyao stood up from the table and walked calmly to Liu Zhimin.

"Uncle Liu, I haven't been at home for the past two years, and I don't know if there is anything at home that has offended you. If there is, I will first apologize to you for my father and my brother.

But in front of so many people, you have to speak clearly, because this is related to my brother's reputation. "

Liu Zhimin instantly felt great pressure.

Although Lu Jingyao seemed to speak softly, there was a hint of threat.

[These people from overseas are indeed different. 】

Liu Zhimin nodded and said: "Eldest niece, I am just a messenger. People told me that this is a matter of life and death. I asked them carefully and they didn't tell me.

But Li Ye said, as long as you know Santiao Police Station and Guan Yueshan, you will understand what is going on. "

"."

Lu Jingyao, who had always remained calm, was suddenly shocked. She never expected that Li Ye would use this matter to threaten her again.

Santiao Police Station was the unit where Lu Zixue and Gao Xiaoyan were rushed to, and Guan Yueshan was the whistleblower who reported Gao Xiaoyan's screams.

【how come? He is not someone who likes to blackmail people! 】

"Danglanglang~"

Lu Zixue, who was sitting at the junior table, turned pale. He accidentally knocked the soup bowl to the ground, and the soup spilled all over the floor.
