Chapter 37: White Lies
It turned out that after Xu Ruoxue entered the village, she found a villager, inquired about the location of the village committee, and rushed all the way over.
She was actually standing at the door a long time ago, but everyone's attention was on Lu Zifeng at that time, and they didn't notice her at all.
She also witnessed all the things that had just happened in the village committee, and she thought it was very interesting.
She didn't expect that the benefactor who saved herself was actually a little local tyrant, and the black cloth bag actually contained so much cash, no wonder she said that she wanted to help him get a black cloth bag along the way to reduce some of his gravity, he refused to agree, it turned out to be a 'huge amount of money'!
Of course, this huge amount of money is just a drizzle for her, a young lady.
At this time, she suddenly heard Lu Zifeng call her name, she was also a little surprised, she actually called herself Ruoxue, oops, it's really numb, this kind of affectionate name is often only called by the people closest to her.
Seeing so many pairs of eyes staring at her at the scene, she was a little uncomfortable, and after smiling at everyone, she walked in and came to Lu Zifeng's side.
"Lu Zifeng, what are you asking me to do?" asked Xu Ruoxue generously.
Lu Zifeng didn't answer her, looked at the scene and smiled: "Folks, I just said that I would hand over my 100,000 yuan to a reassuring person, this person is the Xu Ruoxue in front of me, Miss Xu." ”
"What ?......"
Everyone's heads were a little confused, and they were handed over to a strange woman, what is this Lu family kid going to do?
Chen Guohua immediately said: "Lu Zifeng, are you sick, just call someone over and say that you want to hand over the money to her?"
I don't want to pay the 100,000 yuan as a deposit, so I just said that I don't need to do this kind of messy thing. ”
Lu Zifeng said with a smile: "Village Chief Chen, this Miss Xu is not an outsider, she is a new college student village official in our village. ”
"College student village officer?"
Everyone at the scene was stunned for a moment, and then reacted one after another.
After all, the matter of this college student village official, a few days ago, was spread in Lujiazhuang.
"Tsk, it turns out that the college student who doesn't go to the city but comes to the countryside is her, why is she still a female doll?"
"Female doll, it's not good to stay in the city, find a rich man to marry, come to this ravine and ditch to scare what kind of fun!"
The villagers discussed again, obviously very interested in a female doll coming to Lujiazhuang to be a college student village official.
Chen Guohua frowned, looked at Xu Ruoxue, and said puzzledly: "Miss Xu, is it? This seems to be a month before your reporting day, why did you come early?"
Xu Ruoxue's little face was slightly red, of course she couldn't say that she couldn't wait to come in advance to escape from marriage.
At this moment, he lied and said: "This village chief Chen, I'm fine at home anyway, so I came in advance to familiarize myself with the working environment, so I didn't report to the township government and came in advance, and I happened to meet Comrade Lu Zifeng in our village on the way, he kindly brought me here, you won't dislike me." ”
As he spoke, he took out his ID materials from his bag and handed them to Chen Guohua.
Chen Guohua took a look, it was really a college student village official who came to Lujiazhuang, and said with a smile: "Where is it, Miss Xu, I welcome you on behalf of Lujiazhuang." ”
"Thank you, Village Chief Chen. Xu Ruoxue nodded in thanks.
Lu Zifeng said with a smile: "Village Chief Chen, then I will hand over the 100,000 yuan to our new college student village official, you won't mind." ”
Chen Guohua pretended to be indifferent and said with a smile: "Of course you can." ”
Lu Zifeng smiled: "That's good." ”
Then, he handed the money to Xu Ruoxue: "Ruoxue, you will help manage this money, and it can be regarded as your first job in Lujiazhuang." ”
When Xu Ruoxue first came to Lujiazhuang, she was afraid that she would have nothing to do, so she nodded with great satisfaction and took 100,000 yuan.
"Folks, now that things are gone, everyone will disperse. ”
After that, Lu Zifeng took his parents and Ergouzi slowly walked out of the village committee under the eyes of everyone.
Looking at Lu Zifeng's back, at this moment, no one dared to look down on him in the slightest.
"The son of the treasure family, I have watched him grow up since I was a child, and at first glance he is a promising person, and sure enough, today did not make me mistaken. ”
"Yes, I also think that this style is not an ordinary person, at first glance, he looks like a big boss. ”
Some villagers who saw the wind and steered couldn't help but praise.
Lu Jincai and Lu Yincai's faces were a little ugly, and they regretted it slightly, they knew that this was the case, and they shouldn't have come to force debts today.
"Boy, you wait with me, in Lujiazhuang, see that I don't play you to death. Chen Guohua looked at the direction in which Lu Zifeng disappeared, and the anger in his heart rose.
——————
"Zifeng, you have to tell us what's going on, why do you have so much money?"
When he returned home from the village committee, his father Lu Baocai called Lu Zifeng to the hall and interrogated him carefully.
Lu Zifeng sat on the table of the Eight Immortals in the hall and smiled very happily: "Dad, before I went to the market town today, I went to the back mountain, and on the back mountain, I found several decades-old ginseng, and all of this money was the money from the sale of those old ginseng, a total of 300,000 yuan. ”
"You see, the rest of the money is here. ”
As soon as Lu Zifeng opened the black cloth bag on the table, there were still eighty or ninety thousand yuan.
Lu Baocai and Li Guilan stretched their necks and looked at the cash in the black cloth bag on the table, with bright smiles on their faces.
"Zifeng, what you said is true?"
Father Lu Baocai said: "Don't lie to us. ”
As a farmer who often goes up to the mountains to pick mountain goods, he naturally knows that the price of decades-old ginseng is expensive, and if he really digs up several roots, it may be worth so much money.
It's just that the odds are too small.
Lu Zifeng touched his nose, and he didn't want to lie in his heart, but the secret of the fairy palace was really difficult to reveal, so he was silent for a while, and finally said, "Dad, I don't lie to you." You can rest assured, this money is definitely not obtained by his son for doing any bad things, it is all reasonable and legal income. ”
"Baocai, I believe that our son will definitely not do anything harmful. Liu Guilan said with a smile: "He said that he dug up a few old ginseng, that must be the truth." ”
Lu Baocai nodded, and no longer questioned, still believing in his son's character.
Suddenly, he thought of his son's promise at the village committee today, and his face suddenly looked a little ugly.
"Zifeng, you said you, your brain is hot, what can you do, build an ancestral hall and donate 500,000, the remaining 400,000, where do you find it, there are still 80,000 or 90,000 here, but what about the rest of the money? . ”
Although Lu Baocai was blaming his son, he was very moved in his heart.
The son was donated in his name at the village committee, and the purpose was very clear, but in fact, it was all for his reputation.
Lu Zifeng said with a smile: "Dad, don't worry, I picked up a bag of rare things in the place where I picked the old ginseng this morning." ”
Lu Baocai was suspicious, and hurriedly asked, "What rarity?"
Lu Zifeng smiled and said nothing.
Liu Guilan was also full of curiosity: "Zifeng, don't sell Guanzi, say it quickly." ”
Lu Zifeng got up and lifted the snakeskin bag under the table on the table.
The snakeskin pouch was unfastened, revealing a variety of weapons with dazzling white light.
"Mom, Dad, let me tell you, these things are all antiques. ”
Anyway, parents don't understand, just say it casually, they don't know.
"Zifeng, how did you get these things?"
Lu Baocai took out a scimitar from the snakeskin bag and looked at it in his hand, although he didn't understand it, he also felt very extraordinary.
"You can't be robbing someone's cemetery, right?" Lu Baocai had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly thought of the recent hit tomb robbery TV series.
Lu Zifeng couldn't help but laugh and said: "Dad, you have such a rich imagination, these weapons were picked up in a big pit where I found ginseng, I checked this thing on the Internet, and it is always valuable."
I think that all these things together must be worth 400,000, or even millions. ”
Lu Zifeng didn't dare to say more, for fear of scaring his parents.
But even so, Lu Baocai and Liu Guilan were still shocked.
Hearing the number of millions, both of them were so shocked that their hearts couldn't stand it.
Millions, how much does it cost!
The two old men never thought that their family would have so much money.
"Zifeng, what you said is true?" Lu Baocai swallowed.
"Of course, in a few days, I will take this thing to the antique market in the county seat to sell it. Lu Zifeng said: When the time comes, if you sell it for money, the 400,000 yuan will be gone.
"Alas, Zifeng, in fact, Dad doesn't need that kind of reputation, this money is a waste, it's better for you to keep it and live a good life in the future. Lu Baocai said.
"Yes, Zifeng, your father is right, if you don't bring that kind of fame in life, you don't bring it in death, and it's useless to ask for it. Liu Guilan echoed.
Before, when Lu Zifeng said that he wanted to donate money in the village committee, they didn't agree in their hearts, but they didn't want to refute their son's face, so they couldn't help but say nothing, and now, there are no outsiders, so they decided to persuade their son.
"Mom and Dad, don't say it, I've already said it anyway, man, husband, if you say it, it's the water that is spilled, how can I go back on my word. Lu Zifeng said firmly.
He naturally knows what his parents think, and his parents have always been honest farmers, and they never care what others think of them, as long as the family is safe.
But as a son of man, he couldn't see his father being looked down upon.
There was no way before, because he was poor, and the poor would be looked down upon.
But this time is different from the past, and he is not the same as yesterday.
He's not the one who's half a million short.
These 500,000 things can be exchanged for a lifetime, but they can make my father stand tall in the village for the rest of his life and be respected, why not?
Although Lu Zifeng doesn't want to admit that it is a money society now, if you are rich, you are the uncle, and what you say represents justice, but this is the case.
Since you can't go against the sky, then go with the sky.
Isn't it just money, that's good, I'll show you the money Lu Zifeng.
From now on, he just wants to make no one dare to look down on his family.
I didn't dare to point my finger in front of his family, and scolded his family for being a poor ghost behind his back.
Looking at his son's firm eyes, Lu Baocai and Liu Guilan fell into deep thought, and they didn't know how to persuade their son, their son has grown up, so let him make his own decisions.
"By the way, son, when you went to town today, did you meet the immortal master who cured your mother's illness?"
Lu Baocai suddenly remembered something and immediately asked.
Liu Guilan looked at her son expectantly.
Lu Zifeng touched his head in embarrassment, and said with a wry smile: "No, I think the immortal master and his old man have traveled all over the world, and he will definitely not stay in one place." ”
Lu Baocai and Liu Guilan also felt that there was some truth.
"That's it, since we don't have this fate, then we don't force it, and go to the temple on the mountain to burn two more pillars of incense another day, which can be regarded as respect for the old man of the immortal master. Lu Baocai said.
Liu Guilan nodded in agreement.
Lu Zifeng didn't stop him, anyway, his parents would go to the temple on the mountain to burn incense and worship the Buddha during the New Year's holidays, which was a normal thing, and he often went there when he was a child.
