Chapter 2589 Your father is a hero
Looking at Lu Juan, the accountant's wife suddenly sneered, "Little girl, why are you so fierce?"

"Hmph, I'm telling you, don't think you're that capable."

"Do you really think you're great just because you learned some skills in the city? Let me tell you, I've seen a lot of people like you!"

"How dare you to be so stubborn? I'll ask you to go to a village ten miles away and let you see how you can live alone."

"Then let's see if you can come back!"

The sneer was like a cold wind blowing past. Lu Juan felt her body go cold and she stepped back unconsciously.

It wasn't until my father hugged me that I felt a little safe.

But what the other party said still made her feel cold.

She had a classmate who went there alone.

Then, when I received the news, I married a widower in the village...

"Xiaojuan, it's okay, it's okay!"

"We are a family and will never be separated!"

Hearing her mother's gentle voice and her father's firm voice, Lu Juan bit her lip and nodded, but her heart was still full of worries.

Hearing what Lu Tao and his wife said, the accountant's wife just sneered.

Although she has no ability, they are the head of the family. Besides, the village chief is still the main family member.

When the time comes, let this little girl go out and try it out. She will be well behaved when she comes back!
Thinking of this, he looked at the rice bag on the ground and said immediately, "The weight of this millet is wrong too."

He weighed it in his hand and said, "There's half a pound missing from this. You must have left some for yourself and eaten it secretly."

"You have to return us half a pound of millet."

"what?"

Fang Hanmei was furious when she heard this. Lu Juan even stepped forward to support her mother. She gritted her teeth as she looked at the mother and son in front of her, "You are talking nonsense. We didn't even open the bag of millet you just brought. What right do you have to accuse us of stealing it?"

"You are slandering me, shameless slander!"

Lu Tao was also breathing heavily in anger. He didn't expect that this woman was so shameless!
"hehe."

The accountant's wife handed the bag of millet to her son and said with disdain on her face, "Why? Because there are not ten kilograms of millet in this bag."

"If you don't believe me, let's go to the brigade headquarters and have a weighing."

"Let's see whether they trust you poor people or us, their own family!"

"Don't mention it. You're already in this situation anyway. How bad can it be if you're criticized again?"

"you…"

Lu Tao was furious.

He knew that when this woman gave them the money, it would definitely not be just ten kilograms.

I really wanted to chop this bastard up with a hoe!
The whole family understood what was going on, and the little boy opened his mouth, wishing he could take another bite.

Fang Hanmei's face turned red with anger, and sweat broke out on her body. "You, don't go too far!"

Seeing this scene, the accountant's wife smiled proudly.

This is the scene she enjoys the most.

Let them suffer losses, but they can't do anything about it to themselves.

"Too much? Haha!"

"Fang Hanmei, I'll tell you something!"

The accountant's wife was angry, with a vicious look in her eyes, "The worst is yet to come!"

"You agreed to marry me, but now you regret it. Do you think our family is shameless?"

"You really think you are so popular, I'll sue you!"

"This is Caojiagou, a place for you to work, not a place for you to be a prostitute!"

"Here, if you offend us, you offend the people and you offend God!"

"You will reap the rewards!"

As she spoke, there was hatred in her eyes. Lu Juan was so scared that she hugged her mother's hand tightly.

The accountant's wife became proud again when she saw this. So what if he came from the city?

When you go to the mountains, you still have to do laundry and cooking.

snort!
How much more noble is it than those in the village?
The accountant's wife put her hands on her hips and felt even more proud when she saw the angry look on the woman opposite her.

The young man next to her stared at her with his triangular eyes, and his pupils were filled with Lu Juan.

My mother's abilities are well-known throughout the village.

If I have a conflict with my neighbor, I will never be at a disadvantage in the argument.

The people in the city are thin-skinned. My mother hasn't even shown her true ability of "throwing a tantrum", but she can't stand it?
Haha~
Looking at Lu Juan again, he felt that with his mother making such a fuss, the marriage could be successful.

Just when the mother and daughter were getting carried away, an angry voice was heard from the door.

"Go home, you bastard!"

Then I saw Accountant Wang rushing into the yard in a hurry from behind the crowd.

At this moment, Accountant Wang's face was pale, his eyes were red with anger rising up.

When they arrived at the alley, they heard his woman talking shamelessly from a distance, and he felt very disappointed.

How could I have found such a brainless woman!

Wouldn't it be annoying for him to say these things at this time?
Didn’t you see that the villagers around you are starting to distance themselves from you?

Didn’t you see that the village chief and the team leader both changed their expressions?

Didn’t you see that those who usually dislike him looked gloating?

So he walked forward and forward, even making noises on purpose, hoping that the people in the yard would hear him and shut up quickly. However, the voices of the useless guys inside became louder and louder, and the atmosphere in the alley became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

This atmosphere made him feel anxious.

It was not until he heard his wife say those words that he could no longer bear it.

If I continue talking, I don’t know what outrageous words I’ll say.

Until he said the last sentence, he couldn't bear it anymore!

I didn't dare let this woman continue talking.

"The boss!"

The accountant's wife reacted and looked at Accountant Wang who rushed in, the smug look on her face still not fading.

But the next second, Accountant Wang slapped him in the face.

Snapped

Accountant Wang didn't hold back any strength and slapped the man directly to the ground.

That’s not all. Looking at his son laughing foolishly beside him, he kicked him on the thigh again.

"Get lost, go home!"

Accountant Wang roared, his face pale and frightening.

The two people on the ground couldn't react at all. Even though they were in severe pain, they didn't understand what was going on.

"When, when the boss..."

The woman covered her face and looked at her man with horror, but before she could finish her words, a group of people came in from outside the yard.

On the side, Lu Tao's family was enduring anger and unwillingness, but who would have thought that Accountant Wang would rush in the next second and knock down the two people in front of him in just a few moves. That strength and that voice were definitely sincere.

The family was puzzled, and then they saw a group of people coming in the door.

Chen Gong had a cold face. He glanced at Accountant Wang behind him, then glanced at the village chief and others, and walked quickly forward.

Lou Xiao'e heard it clearly at the door and was also very angry, but when she saw the Lu family, a look of sympathy appeared on her face.

Perhaps, having had similar experiences before, she is more empathetic.

At the same time, looking at Lu Juan's haggard and sad face, he couldn't help but think of himself.

If she hadn't met Yang Xiaotao, she might not even know which village she was in now.

With sympathy in her eyes, Lou Xiao'e walked straight past Chen Gong and quickly came to the Lu family.

Chen Gong didn't care about this at all, but Secretary Hu became more certain after seeing this that this female secretary was no ordinary person.

The yard was quiet. Even though there was a group of people standing there, no one spoke.

But everyone's mood was different.

Yi Zhonghai stood behind the crowd and felt sad again when he saw the scene in front of him.

The village chief and several other captains looked at everything in front of them with pale faces. They looked at the mother and son on the ground as if they wanted to eat them.

When the villagers saw Lou Xiao'e coming to the Lu family, their eyes were filled with curiosity.

Curious about what happens next.

When Lou Xiao'e came over, the first person she looked at was not Lu Tao, but Fang Hanmei.

A smile appeared on his face, and his expression became kind, "Hello, Comrade Fang Hanmei!"

"We are from the Ninth Industrial Machinery Department. My name is Lou Xiao'e."

Fang Hanmei looked at the well-dressed woman in front of her, who spoke with kindness, and asked curiously, "Hello, comrade!"

Confused, Fang Hanmei subconsciously became defensive. Lou Xiaoe smiled and said, "Comrade Fang Hanmei, don't worry, we are here to take you back to the Forty-Nine City!"

After saying this, Fang Hanmei and Lu Tao both perked up, while Lu Juan and her brother widened their eyes, as if they didn't understand.

At this moment, the villagers' discussions immediately rang out around.

Outside the door, Yi Zhonghai's eyes were filled with disappointment.

Everything seemed to be on track, but who knew it would go off track again.

Is it so difficult to plan for someone's retirement?
The village chief and team leader were originally somewhat hopeful, hoping that things would turn around.

But now, things are developing in the direction that everyone fears the most.

After a moment of calm, Fang Hanmei came back to her senses and asked in confusion, "Comrade, who are you?"

Lu Tao beside him was also alert.

Lou Xiao'e smiled gently, "Mr. Fang Ziqiang must be your relative."

Hearing the familiar name, Fang Hanmei frowned slightly, then nodded gently.

"He, he is my father."

"That's right, we came here to find you."

Lou Xiao'e gave an affirmative answer, but the expected joy did not appear on Fang Hanmei's face. Instead, there was a hint of resistance.

This made Lou Xiao'e at the side a little confused. She thought she had not explained it clearly, so she explained again, "Comrade Fang Hanmei, we are here this time because our Yang Department heard about your father from Mr. Shu Xingbei, so they sent us to pick you up."

"Of course, we need to go back and discuss the specifics."

"For now, you should pack up as soon as possible and go back with us."

That’s all Lou Xiao’e knew, and now she just wanted to complete the task quickly.

Chen Gong glanced at Fang Hanmei and knew there might be some misunderstanding, so he walked up to her and said, "Comrade Fang Hanmei, I am Chen Gong from the Ninth Department."

The village leader nearby hurried forward to introduce himself.

When they learned that the person who came was either a local resident or a higher-level leader, and that this Chen Gong was even a high-ranking official in the Nine Departments, Lu Tao's family were all shocked.

They never expected that the identity of the visitor was so high.

"I, Chen Gong, personally guarantee that I will not harm you when I take you back this time."

Chen Gong came up to the boy and put his hand on his head. The red mark on his cheek was naturally visible.

Lu Juan, who was standing by, had tears in her eyes. Fang Hanmei opened her mouth, but finally closed it and was unable to say a word.

"Hanmei, let's go back."

Just when Fang Hanmei was hesitating, Lu Tao on the side began to persuade her.

"Mom, I want to go home, back to my home in Sijiu City."

The little boy reached out and hugged his mother. In this village, everyone hated him and the children even beat him. He didn't like it here.

Lu Juan also looked at her expectantly.

"Okay, okay, let's go home."

Fang Hanmei nodded to Chen Gong, then said to Lou Xiaoe, "We don't have much stuff, so we'll be done packing soon."

Lou Xiao'e nodded, "I'll go with you to clean up."

After saying that, he followed the mother and daughter to the room.

Behind him, Chen Gong took out two candies from his pocket and handed them to the little boy, then said to Lu Tao, "Lu Tao?"

"Yes, Chief."

Lu Tao was a little nervous and even reached out to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

"Don't be shy. I've heard about you from Yang Bu."

"A top student from Wudaokou."

Hearing this, Lu Tao's expression darkened.

Secretary Hu standing by was displeased when he saw this and said, "Lu Tao, being remembered by the Yang Department is not something that ordinary people can have. Don't be ungrateful."

Lu Tao was stunned for a moment, and the gloom on his face was suppressed.

Chen Gong just smiled and said, "Secretary Hu, Yang Bu has indeed remembered a lot of people, and facts have proved that the people he has chosen are all capable."

"So, I believe that our comrade Lu Tao is also capable."

After hearing this, Lu Tao felt inexplicably moved.

Then Chen Gong said, "This time, Yang Bu also told you to go back and join the Ninth Bu. From now on, you will be a member of the Ninth Bu."

After saying this, Lu Tao just felt incredible.

Not only him, but Secretary Hu and others were also surprised.

This person was driven out from the old city.

There is something wrong with Lu Tao's ingredients.

Can.
But when he thought of the Nine Departments and the gossip about that Yang Department member, he felt relieved.

That guy doesn't play by the rules.

"Can I?"

Lu Tao only felt that the excitement was so great that he couldn't believe it was real.

In the morning, he was still wielding a hoe in the field. He was still a person who needed labor to exercise.

Just now, their family was facing all kinds of difficulties and hardships.

But in the blink of an eye, it changed?

Accountant Wang standing by could no longer stand. His legs went limp and he sat on the ground.

Now the whole family was lying on the ground, and they were all done.

"Commander, can I really do this?"

Facing Lu Tao's question, Chen Gong nodded calmly, then smiled and said, "You can do it, believe in yourself."

Lu Tao pursed his lips, feeling a little overwhelmed.

"Dad is the best. No matter how difficult the math problem is, it won't be difficult for him."

The little boy was eating the candy and suddenly shouted happily, with a look of confidence on his face.

When Lu Tao heard his son's voice, he suddenly felt relieved, because he thought he was quite good in mathematics.

Then Chen Gong started chatting with Lu Tao, and Secretary Hu and others beside them also interjected a few words, looking enthusiastic and familiar.

As for the affairs of the village, Chen Gong did not say anything and Lu Tao did not speak either.

But all this was already destined.

In the room, Lou Xiao'e looked at the simple utensils and the two people rummaging through the drawers. She stood aside for a while, feeling somewhat relieved.

Fortunately, I didn't have this experience.

Otherwise, it would be better to find a rope to hang it.

"Comrade Lou, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

Fang Hanmei placed some commonly used furniture on a piece of cloth and prepared to pack it up and take it away.

Lou Xiao'e stepped forward to help, "Nothing, nothing."

Fang Hanmei sighed at this time and asked casually, "I know very little about my father."

There was a hint of sadness in the voice.

Lou Xiao'e was stunned for a moment, and then she began to understand why Fang Hanmei was unhappy before.

"To be honest, the time I spent with my father was very short since I was a child."

"In my memory, it was my mother who did all the hard work and was busy all the time."

"I was sick, and my mother carried me on her back for more than ten miles. It was raining that day."

"Later, we were taken to Sijiucheng, went to school, got married, and had children."

"Then, he came back and saw his mother for the last time!"

Fang Hanmei said softly, tears in her eyes, "I asked him where he had been all these years, why he didn't come back, why he didn't write a letter."

"He said nothing."

"Then, he was like a transparent person, living at home. We didn't talk, we didn't communicate."

"Until last year, he passed away."

"Just smiled at me and left a mess behind."

"This is my father. A stranger."

After Fang Hanmei finished speaking, Lu Juan came over and put her arm around her mother's shoulders.

At this time, Lou Xiao'e lowered her head and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. When she raised her head again, she suddenly understood why Yang Xiaotao asked her to take the person back.

This is what we owe them.

"Comrade Fang Hanmei, there are some things I cannot tell you."

"But what I want to tell you is that your father is a hero of this country and this nation."
