Walking with the Villain, Lou Xiao'e's Alternative Love

The donkey cart was back in time for lunch.

Lu Bin and Liu Dalong went directly to the east wing.

"Deputy Director Li agreed." Lu Bin said.

The leaders have agreed, so why does Lu Bin look a little unhappy?

"Chief Lu, do you have any concerns?" Lou Xiao'e asked.

"Alas! The leader has agreed, but who knows what will happen in the future? If there is a change, and we no longer work in the factory, who will keep this old promise? Isn't this just a blank check?"

Lu Bin’s concerns are not without reason. To put it bluntly, this person no longer works at his original unit, so who can take care of this matter?

"Chief Lu, how about this? Let's leave our addresses and contact information to Uncle Zhao. If that day ever comes, we'll just follow our conscience!"

"Sister Xiao'e, you are right. Let's also write down the address of Uncle Zhao's house. We never know if we will be able to visit him more often in the future." Lu Bin said affirmatively.

In fact, Lou Xiao'e knew that Deputy Director Li's promise was reliable. Although this man was greedy for money and lustful, he was also a man who could get big things done. What he promised was as safe as signing a contract.

The third brother pushed the door open and said, "What are you guys plotting here? You're not even in a hurry to eat, and you still need the third brother to come and treat you personally?"

Lu Bin, in a cheerful mood, pulled the child over and rubbed him: "Third brother, you act like a kid all day long, why don't you go to school?"

"I studied for two years and then was kicked out of school."

"Why did they send you back?" Lou Xiao'e asked.

"I don't like going to school. I get a headache when I get to school. I want to sleep when the teacher is teaching, and I'm punished by standing when I fall asleep. Later, I started skipping classes. I also got into a few fights. Now I'm kicked out."

"If you don't study at such a young age, what are you going to do in the future?"

"My dad said that it would be enough if I could recognize the men's and women's restrooms and write my own name. I won't study hard anyway, so I might as well save the tuition fees to help me find a wife."

"That won't work. You know that knowledge can change your destiny. Third brother, you have to think about the long term. You may not feel it now, but you will regret not learning more in the future." Lu Bin spoke earnestly, his eyes full of encouragement.

"I don't like studying, but my uncle's brother never studied, yet he became a team leader. He is invited to drink every day and has a lot of responsibilities."

"If you have the knowledge, you might be able to become the mayor, or even a higher official," said Lou Xiao'e.

"I can't do that. Not only does it waste my brain, but I also lose my freedom. I just want to live a stable life and have meat for my family to eat every day."

"Look at what you have achieved." Xu Damao said.

"Tsk, what do you mean by promising? How high of an official position is considered a high position? How much money is considered a high amount? I think the county head and the town head work so hard every day, but they are not as carefree as my brother! What is the purpose of life? Isn't it just to have enough food and clothing and live in peace? I invited you to eat with kindness, but you gave me all these useless things."

After hearing what Xiao San Ge said, several people smiled at each other. Lu Bin patted him on the shoulder and said, "Xiao San Ge is right. People live to seek a stable life. Let's go and have dinner!"

Everyone came to the table and ate and chatted. Lou Xiaoe looked at the sensible little brother and secretly sighed in her heart that although this child did not like to study, he had his own unique philosophy of life.

After the meal, several people left their addresses and contact information to Uncle Zhao and wrote down his home address. They decided to believe in Deputy Director Li's promise and their own conscience.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, an old jeep stopped in front of Lao Zhao's door.

Everyone in the house came out to greet them except Uncle Zhao who was still in the west room.

The driver opened the car door and two middle-aged men and women helped carry a little old lady who was about 60 years old.

After entering the main house, the driver put the old lady on the kang, and Sister Zhao hurriedly took a thick cushion for the old lady to lean against the wall.

After the old lady sat down, she said slowly, "Why don't I have a headache after entering this yard? Big Boss, you two should ask the master to take a look at Mom."

The couple the old lady called were the mine director Sun and his wife. When they heard what the old lady said, they hurriedly said to Sister Zhao, "Comrade Dafeng, are your relatives here?"

"Hey... Director Sun, to be honest, the relative I'm talking about is actually my father..."

"Mr. Sun and his wife understand. Oh! I understand. What about Mr. Sun?"

"My father is doing a fortune-telling for someone. He will call us when he is done."

"Okay. Wait a minute then."

Lou Xiao'e and the others didn't dare to talk to him casually. The patient hadn't been treated yet, so how could they force a conversation?

Fortunately, Aunt Zhao was an insightful person and chatted with Director Sun and his family for a while.

Half an hour later, the door of the west room finally opened. Uncle Zhao did not go to see the guests off but directly called Director Sun and his family over.

The old-fashioned clock on the cabinet ticked away every second, and the mood of the people in the room was also tightened with the ticking sound.

Finally, at about 5:20, the door of the west room opened.

The little old lady was helped out by the couple.

When we arrived at the east room, the old lady was obviously much more energetic than when we first came, but her expression seemed very heavy.

Although Director Sun was not in a good mood, he still expressed his gratitude by saying a lot of words.

Finally, he told Sister Zhao to bring Lou Xiao'e and others to his office the day after tomorrow for a detailed discussion.

After seeing off Director Sun and his family, out of curiosity, everyone wanted to ask Uncle Zhao what was going on. So, at the dinner table, Uncle Zhao briefly told them about Director Sun's mother.

It turned out that this was all the fault of the old lady herself. She had been tortured by her mother-in-law when she was young, and finally her mother-in-law was paralyzed in bed. Abuse was inevitable. The most hateful thing was that she starved her mother-in-law to death.

Her mother-in-law had passed away several years ago, and she was fine. But as luck would have it, the ancestral tomb in her hometown was dug up by a group of wild boars coming down from the mountain. Although Director Sun rebuilt the tomb afterwards, her mother fell ill not long after.

I consulted many witch doctors, and they were able to diagnose the problem, but they just couldn't cure it.

Director Sun had seen his grandmother torturing his mother, and he had also seen his mother abusing his grandmother, but what could he do? Fortunately, his wife was a good person, and there was no war between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law.

Uncle Zhao did not tell us the specific solution. Of course, this is also professional privacy.

"I have already arranged everything for them. Tomorrow, his son will be needed to go to the ancestral tomb to arrange things. That is why he asked you to go the day after tomorrow. You can stay overnight and return to the city tomorrow! Come again when you have the chance."

"Thank you, uncle! We will definitely come to visit you and aunt when we have the chance in the future."

Uncle Zhao waved his hand and said, "The next few years will be unstable, especially for those of you in big cities. Try to keep your tail between your legs, do more good deeds and don't worry about the future."

Several people didn't know whether this was predicted by Uncle Zhao through his own technical means or his own analysis. No matter what, they all took it seriously in their hearts.

The next day, as several people were leaving, Aunt Zhao got up early and made large steamed dumplings with beef and radish stuffing.

After breakfast, while Brother Zhao went to his uncle's house in the front yard to borrow a carriage, Aunt Zhao packed a large bag of mountain products for the few of them.

Lu Bin forced the envelope containing 500 yuan into the hands of the kind-hearted aunt with bound feet.

The third brother held Lou Xiao'e's hand tightly with tears in his eyes and refused to let go.

"Lou Xiao'e, you will come again, right? I can come to find you when I grow up. If you don't want to live with Xu Damao, come to me. I don't mind your age. We can just get along..."

Xu Damao looked at the little brat speechlessly, thinking: "Fortunately this kid hasn't grown up, otherwise he would really be a threat."

The carriage went farther and farther away, but the people in the carriage could still hear the cries of the third brother...

Xu Damao hugged his wife, whose eyes were red from crying, and comforted her: "We will meet again. We will definitely meet again."
