The conspiracy of the courtyard

Chapter 147: Grain Sales Troubles

Zhao Jun listened to Lu Zixuan with a gloomy face, sat down on the moss-covered steps, lowered his head and laughed at himself.

"I thought I had found a kind-hearted elder, and he promised to treat me like a father when I returned home. I didn't expect that he had such a terrible past. Haha...

The teacher is right, I am indeed too honest and too easy to trust others. There is no selfless love in this world. Haha..."

After venting his anger, Zhao Jun took a few deep breaths and continued:

“My main purpose for coming to Sijiu City was to find my father’s whereabouts. I thought he would see my filial piety and tell me my father’s whereabouts, but I was greatly disappointed.

In fact, I had doubts many times, suspecting that my father was right next to me, but I didn't want to recognize him, because as soon as I encountered a little difficulty, someone would immediately come out to rescue me. I searched everywhere, but found nothing.

You said that Lao Tong might have killed my father, but that's impossible. I can see that his friendship towards me is not fake.

I once thought that maybe he was my father, and he wanted me to take him home to spend his remaining years in peace, but he was afraid that I would blame him for neglecting him over the years.

In fact, I don’t blame my father, because I have never felt his love, so I can’t hate him.

I just feel sorry for my mother. She waited a lifetime, guarded a lifetime, hoped for a lifetime, and missed her a lifetime, but in the end, that cruel man didn't even want to look at her for the last time.

I know basically nothing about the ways of the world and I can't comfort others. You said that his inhuman behavior towards you and your son was definitely very harmful. I have nothing to say except sympathy.

This is our first communication and perhaps the last time. Please apologize to your mother on my behalf for any trouble I have caused you.

Even if I use those dishonorable means to force your mother to surrender, it won't last long, and it might even accumulate deeper hatred. It's not worth it.

I'm leaving now. I hope you and your son will have a smooth life in the future. If you meet Lao Tong one day, please convey some words to him.

If he were my father, I would despise him and be ashamed of him. Living alone until old age is the result of his evil deeds and the retribution for wasting my mother's best years.

If it wasn't for my father, I can only say that people with different ideals cannot work together."

Lu Zixuan was shocked by what Zhao Jun said, and an idea flashed through his mind.

"Since you hate evil so much and can understand your mother's sadness, and your mother is seriously ill, you can help her fulfill her last wish.

I will provide you with a choice of life partner. My mother has a sworn sister who also served in the army in Northeast China. Last year, she was assigned to work in a hospital.

As Lu Zixuan spoke, he took out a pen and paper and wrote down an address.

"Her name is Jiang Shengnan. Her husband was named a martyr a few years ago. She has a daughter who is very nice, free and easy, and very pretty. She will be closer to you, and your mother should be satisfied."

Zhao Jun looked at the note with wide eyes.

"Daughter? I heard it was a son before. If it's not a coincidence, then I know her.

A leader introduced her to me before, but he only mentioned her once and nothing happened afterwards. Maybe it was ruined by Lao Tong. Okay, I will contact her as soon as I get back.

Thank you for giving me this surprise. We are too far away to invite you to dinner. If good things come true, I can only write a letter to thank you for being my matchmaker. Hehe..."

Zhao Jun thanked Lu Zixuan again and again, with a look of relief on his face, and quickly rushed to the train station to buy the earliest return ticket.

After Zhao Jun waved goodbye and left, Lu Zixuan did not return to the courtyard. Instead, he went to the grain station to find Chen Ping and recounted Zhao Jun's story.

Chen Ping was a little excited and kissed Lu Zixuan hard on the face.

"You mean the Zhao army has left? So quickly?

He is such a good son of mine. I am worried every day, afraid that he will come to find me again.

How did you come up with the idea of ​​introducing Shengnan to him? Thinking about it carefully, they are really a good match.

But Lao Tong will definitely not agree. Will it be sabotaged again? Don’t harm Shengnan. "

Lu Zixuan said firmly:

"Don't worry, I left him a great trick. Old Tong will only know that Zhao Jun retired early because his mother was seriously ill.

He originally wanted to continue to instigate, but then he changed his mind and realized that Zhao Jun had done nothing wrong and there was no need to implicate innocent people. Anyway, it was impossible for Old Tong to expect Zhao Jun to be filial.

The most important thing is to stop Chen Bangguo, the scumbag, from thinking about Jiang Shengnan. Chen Qi said that in recent years, Chen Bangguo always wrote letters to Jiang Shengnan under the pretext of caring about his daughter.

I originally wanted to make this scumbag pay the price, but Chen Qi said he would do it himself, and only asked me to find a good home for Jiang Shengnan, so that it would be more satisfactory. "

Chen Ping also breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Lu Zixuan's words.

"You two both know? Shengnan also complained a lot in the letter she wrote to me, and she was miserable.

Chen Bangguo wrote a letter once a month, and all of them were sent to the hospital, which scared away several doctors who had a good impression of her.

She didn't dare to reply, and didn't want to tell Mrs. Du Qiao the truth for fear of causing misunderstanding.

If they can succeed, everyone will be happy. It would be better for a heartless man like Chen Bangguo to be alone forever, with no one to rely on. "

After Chen Ping finished speaking, she thought of something else.

"Son, I feel like Old Tong is going to do something weird again. Director Liu came to see me just now.

He tried to find out about my situation in various ways, and also said that if I was unhappy working here, I could go to the neighborhood office at any time.

I think it's a job that's as difficult as climbing to the sky, but they can get it whenever they want, and change it whenever they want? This is too casual.

"You worked so hard to get this job for me, but in other people's eyes, it's just a piece of cake. You're advocating fairness every day, and this is it?"

Lu Zixuan smiled lightly and replied calmly:

"It's okay. I'm just worried that he won't make any move. As long as he makes a move, I can catch him by the tail. If it doesn't work once, I'll try it twice. Anyway, I have plenty of time.

I guess he won't have time to bother with us anymore. I don't believe he won't be anxious when he finds out that Zhao Jun is leaving tomorrow.

You don't need to worry about fairness or injustice. There is no such thing as absolute fairness. Isn't it much fairer now than before liberation? At least most workers and farmers can have food to eat.

Comparison should be made with your past, not with people of higher status. Otherwise you will never feel balanced.

For example, in our family, you used to be a person with no house, no money, and no job. How about now? How many people envy you? You should be content with what you have and feel happy...”

"Deputy Stationmaster Chen, there's something wrong with the grain cabinet up ahead. There's a quarrel going on. Please go and take a look."

A low, rough voice interrupted Lu Zixuan's long speech. Chen Ping hurriedly put away the account book, locked it in the drawer, and walked quickly to the front grain selling room, followed closely by Lu Zixuan.

The mother and daughter did not rush to interrupt, but just watched the situation develop quietly.

“I don’t care whether you have any reserves or not, as long as you have food, you have to sell it to me.

Do you know who I am? I can beat you waiters to death with my money alone. No one in this area dares to disrespect me.

Several shop assistants dared to challenge me. What the hell? I said a lot of nice things and bad things. What else do you want? Anyway, if you don’t sell it to me today, no one else can buy it…”
