Lu Chengcheng said without hesitation: "Buy it, just buy it, uncle, I don't understand these, if I don't do it right, you must remind me."

The village chief was relieved to see that Lu Chengcheng was reasonable and said, "Okay."

Lu Chengcheng rode his electric bike to the market immediately and bought a whole pack of cigarettes for more than two hundred yuan. The village chief said that buying things worth more than two hundred yuan would be enough.

After buying cigarettes, Lu Chengcheng bought a can of yogurt and some oranges at the door. He put the things on the electric bike and prepared to go home.

As I was sitting on the electric bike, a voice came: "Chengcheng? Is that you, Lu Chengcheng?"

Lu Chengcheng turned her head and saw a woman in her fifties. She looked like a typical rural woman and was a little fat, but she was sure that she didn't know this person.

Lu Chengcheng looked unfamiliar: "Who are you?"

The woman was a little unhappy when she saw that Lu Chengcheng didn't recognize her, but she still said, "I'm your relative!"

Lu Chengcheng thought seriously and realized that she really had no impression of him. This was the first time she had seen the person in front of her in both of her lives. “I don’t know many of my relatives in my hometown. I’m sorry.”

The woman began to speak sarcastically: "Yes, you are all noble people who forget things easily, why would you think of us poor relatives?"

Lu Chengcheng thought to himself that his parents would agree to let relatives come to work in their company, but the prerequisite was that they had real skills and knowledge. They would never accept those who came just to get by, or if they did, they would dismiss them.

Lu Chengcheng said patiently: "I'm sorry, I really don't know who you are, can you tell me?"

The woman couldn't control her mouth. "My son Cao Ze went to work for your parents' company. He only worked there for a month. They said he didn't pass the internship and didn't let him come to work. He had just graduated from college at that time. They couldn't give him a break. It was too hurtful."

Speaking of Cao Ze, Lu Chengcheng thought of who he was. He was a relative on her mother's side, but the blood relationship was somewhat distant, and perhaps even her mother didn't know the specific relationship.

Lu Chengcheng endured it and said, "The reason for firing your son is because he is often late and leaves early, doesn't do his job well, and is disobedient. As a mother, shouldn't you discipline your son?"

The woman was a little angry: "You don't need to tell me about my son, but I remember that your parents fired my son."

Lu Chengcheng controlled his temper and said, "We are resigning in an open and aboveboard manner. We are not targeting anyone intentionally."

The woman said angrily, "Humph, you said you didn't target anyone, but why didn't you fire other relatives' children but only my son?"

Lu Chengcheng said: "Some of our relatives' children also resigned, but you don't know."

The woman raised her voice and said excitedly: "I don't believe it. From the beginning to the end, only my son was fired. No one else was fired."

"Yes, but you don't know it." Seeing that there were people watching, Lu Chengcheng said, "I have something else to do, so I won't tell you yet." After that, he started the car and drove away.

The woman stared at Lu Chengcheng's back fiercely: "My son has found a good job now, so it doesn't mean you have to go to the company."

Lu Chengcheng ignored her and rode away on his bike.

The woman withdrew her gaze, walked into the store, bought the things, then hurried home and called her son on her cell phone.

After hearing what his mother said, Cao Ze asked, "What's the matter?"

The woman said mysteriously, "Guess who I met?"

Cao Ze asked casually: "Who did you meet?"

The woman said, "I met Lu Chengcheng, the one whose family runs a big company. She actually came back to the village, riding an electric bike, and got angry with me!"

Cao Ze simply didn't believe it: "Lu Chengcheng? Did you recognize the wrong person? She is a rich lady, how could she return to the village?"

The woman was very sure: "It's her. I've seen her before. There's no way I can make a mistake."

Cao Ze still didn't believe it: "Lu Chengcheng can't possibly go back to the village. Her family is so rich and has everything in the city. How could she possibly go back to the village?"

The woman said, "It was really her. I even talked to her and she didn't deny it."

Cao Ze hesitated for a while and said, "Mom, hang up the phone first. I'll ask around and call you back later."

The woman asked, "What are you asking about?"

Cao Ze said: "Why did Lu Chengcheng come back?"

The woman also wanted to know the answer to this question, so she said, "Okay, call me back when you find out."

After the two hung up the phone, Cao Ze immediately called other people. He went to school in City A, so he knew some people there. In addition, he had relatives working in Lu Chengcheng's company, so it was easy for him to find out what he wanted to know.

After he understood the truth, he immediately called her mother excitedly: "Mom, I found out."

The woman quickly asked, "What did you find out?"

Cao Ze said happily: "Lu Chengcheng's company went bankrupt, and she came back because she was down and out."

The woman was stunned for a moment, then she smiled and gloated, "Bankrupt?"

Cao Ze said: "Yes, I went bankrupt and broke off the engagement with my fiancé. I came home with nowhere else to go. Mom, this is retribution, I deserve it!"

The woman's anger subsided: "That's right, it's what she deserves. I thought she was so great, but it turns out she's just a poor girl."

Cao Ze also calmed down: "Mom, I finally feel better."

The woman said, "I feel comfortable too."

The two chatted on the phone for a long time, and were very happy and cheerful. Finally, they hung up the phone with reluctance, and tacitly spread the news of Lu Chengcheng's family everywhere.

Before long, all relatives and friends knew about Lu Chengcheng's family.

At this time, Lu Chengcheng didn't know that some people were so vicious and idle. After she rode her bike home, she took the yogurt and fruit to the old house and let everyone eat them. Then she gave everyone a pack of cigarettes and said some words of apology.

Xiao Zhao said: "How can a girl like you know so much? It's all good now."

It is a custom in rural areas for workers to distribute cigarettes, and everyone does so.

After taking care of these chores, Lu Chengcheng continued to mix cement mortar and helped to apply cement on the walls of the old house.

After working for a day, the decorators had finished applying cement to the first floor of the house.

At six o'clock, I got off work on time.

Su Yanglan also came to see Lu Chengcheng on time: "Sister, are you done? I'm off from school again."

Lu Chengcheng replied: "It will be ready soon."

Su Yanglan came in and helped Lu Chengcheng with the work. When they were almost done, they went home together.

After returning home, Su Yanglan pointed at the pepper seedling and said, "Look, sister, I found the specific scene that stands out from the crowd."

Lu Chengcheng looked at the pepper seedling that was growing better and better and smiled: "It really stands out from the crowd."

While washing his hands, the village chief said, "That pepper seedling is very special. The others are just ordinary, but this one is so green and beautiful."

Lu Chengcheng said: "It may be mixed with other seeds, but no matter what, as long as it grows well, it's fine."

The village chief nodded: "Yes."
