Chapter 184: Fuck Your Grandma
Lu Jiaxuan met Lu Zhenping's scrutinizing eyes and felt nervous for a moment. Actually, he didn't want to come here to borrow a bicycle today, as there were some available at the brigade headquarters. But Jiaojiao was right, they were all family, and he couldn't always be at odds with his elder brother and his wife. Moreover, he remembered what happened last time, and the county officials still recognized him as their elder brother. As long as he had a good relationship with his elder brother, he would have no worries about not being promoted in the long run.
"Five cents."
"what?"
Lu Zhenping frowned and looked at Lu Jiaxuan. He was usually a very smart man, so how come he couldn't even understand what he was saying now?
"You can borrow a bicycle. Go ahead and ride it. The rental fee is 50 cents. Didn't your sister-in-law tell you that when she rode the bicycle home? If there are any damages or scratches on it, the price will be charged separately."
Lu Jiaxuan's face froze. He couldn't remember what Shen Meng said when she rode the bicycle home, but the two families were having an unpleasantness at that time, so he thought it was just a casual remark. Besides, he and Jiaojiao had never borrowed bicycles before. This was the first time, but he didn't expect that she would really ask for money.
"Brother, we are all family, you really want money? The rent at the People's Congress is only 20 cents, how can you ask your brother for 50 cents?"
"If you don't want to borrow it, just go back. You've been working for so long, and you're so shy about spending money. You're not generous at all. How did you become like this?"
Lu Jiaxuan: “.”
As a team leader, you can even ask your brothers for the money to rent a bicycle. What's wrong with him being a little shy? What's wrong?
"Here, fifty cents is fifty cents, brother. I think you have changed a lot. You seem to be obsessed with money now. Forget it, I won't say anything more. In addition to lending you the bicycle, I have something else to tell you."
"Hurry up, there are many things to do!"
Lu Zhenping shook his hands. He had just washed Mingkai's cotton trousers with cold water and now his hands were frozen. After only a month of good life, he couldn't stand the hardship anymore. He was being so pretentious.
"Jiaojiao and I have discussed with our parents that we will separate in the spring and build a yard by then. Big brother, can you help me get some bricks and tiles? If I hadn't renovated the roof in advance this winter, the small house would definitely collapse. Jiaojiao is pregnant, and that's your nephew. You can't bear to see them suffer, right?"
Lu Zhenping nodded, and just when Lu Jiaxuan thought the matter was settled, Lu Zhenping said, "That's not right."
"Brother."
"Jiaxuan, I wouldn't have gotten you any help even if I did. When Jiasheng bought the house, he asked your sister-in-law for help to get some black tiles. Now you need not only bricks but also tiles. You should know how difficult it is to get someone from the brick factory. There are so many people waiting in line. You just open your mouth and ask me to get you some bricks and tiles. Jiaxuan, I'm curious, how did you say that?"
"Brother, how can you say that? Sister-in-law doesn't have any relationship with you. Isn't this just an excuse? As for the people you know, you naturally know more. Isn't the wife of the director of the Public Security Bureau..."
Lu Zhenping narrowed his eyes. It seemed that this kid had not wasted his time at all during the past six months he had worked in the commune. He had found out everything about the relationship with the Public Security Bureau chief's wife. He had underestimated him. Why did he think that he had not made any progress before? It's not that he had not made any progress. He had made a lot of progress. Now he was full of petty tricks.
"Jiaxuan, if I remember correctly, the small house you live in now used to be where your parents lived. Later, you married Zhou Jiaojiao and tricked your sister-in-law into giving you this yard that I had no home. How old was Mingkai at that time? What were you thinking at the time? Did you have your head stuck in your crotch when you married your wife? Why didn't you think that Mingkai was your nephew at that time? Shen Meng is a woman with a child. If she can't stand up in the future, who would have thought of renovating the house for her and the children in winter? When the heavy snow fell, the house collapsed. How would they live? Have you thought about all this?" Lu Jiaxuan's face turned pale and his breathing became rapid. He had just gotten married at that time and spent every day in love. How could he think so much? Besides, didn't the things that his elder brother said happen? Moreover, their family now lives in such a large brick house. Not only does his elder brother have a bright future, but his sister-in-law also has a stable job now. Why should he care about the right and wrong in the past?
"Brother, now is not the time to worry about those things. If you and your wife felt that Jiaojiao and I had done something wrong in the past, couldn't we apologize? Why do you have to worry about those things? Anyway, the most important thing now is to find a way to get the bricks and tiles, lay the foundation, and build the house. After Jiaojiao and I treat you and your wife to a meal and apologize properly, okay?"
Lu Zhenping: “.”
Okay, but I apologize. I want your apology to mean a long life or enough food and drink. I want to kill you, you ignorant bastard. You said these words without changing your expression. It really makes people angry!!!
"Give me money to borrow the bicycle. If you don't want to pay, leave quickly. I can't help you with the bricks and tiles. If you have the ability, you can find a way yourself."
Lu Jiaxuan turned pale, took out fifty cents from his pocket and handed it to Lu Zhenping, then walked away angrily with his bicycle. He had already been so humble, but his elder brother was still not satisfied. What should he do?
Shen Meng and Lu Mingkai each held a cup of hot water and sipped it. After Lu Zhenping came in, he told her everything he and Lu Jiaxuan had said.
Shen Meng looked at him in surprise, thinking that Zhou Jiaojiao and Lu Jiaxuan were indeed a family. There were two different kinds of people sleeping in the same bed. This couple was really sick.
On the sixth day of the New Year, Shen Meng left her husband and children and took Uncle Guai's ox cart to the county town. Knowing that Shen Meng was coming to take the cart early in the morning, Uncle Guai reserved a good seat for her.
In order to return the favor, Shen Meng stuffed a roujiamo into Uncle Guai's mouth. Uncle Guai's eyes lit up, but he didn't refuse and started to eat with big mouthfuls. After all, they were all family. In the future, when Shen Meng and Zhenping were not at home, he could bring his wife to help them with more work. It would be considered a way of repaying them. As fellow villagers, they should visit each other more often to become closer.
After Shen Meng arrived in the county, she first went to see Doctor Cheng. Naturally, it was because of Yu Xueli's work. Although the job was hard, the salary was high, and if she did a good job, she could get extra money in the future. For Yu Xueli, this was simply a pie in the sky. Just after the New Year, she naturally had to find Doctor Cheng quickly to settle the matter.
Bags of gifts and the fashionable red scarf bought by Hai Shi were placed on Dr. Cheng's desk, which made Dr. Cheng very nervous. She didn't accept gifts, she really didn't accept gifts.
"Don't be nervous, Sister Cheng. There's no patient at home. I'm not looking for you for medical treatment. It's Chinese New Year, and I'm here to visit your relatives. You're no different from my own sister. I can't come to you for help. Except for a scarf, the rest of these things are food. They're not expensive."
"This isn't expensive, sister. You put it here and scared my sister so much that she almost jumped up."
After getting to know her, Shen Meng felt that Cheng Yufen was actually quite lively and not as rigid as she had seemed before.
"Speaking of which, big sister, can't you decide on the job you mentioned to me before? Can you do it now? I told you that the women in our village have a very hard life. I'm not doing this for myself, I just feel sorry for them, mother and daughter."
Cheng Yufen glanced outside, shook her head at Shen Meng and said, "That person can't survive. He has been selected and has already started working."
"What's the matter?"
