While Min Yonggui and Li Changzhou were conspiring, Lu Tao was sitting on a chair in the duty room, being interrogated by Wu Manping.

Before the interrogation began, Wu Manping first looked Lu Tao up and down with a calm face, and did not say a word for a long time.

This kind of scrutiny and critical gaze made Lu Tao feel very uncomfortable, but considering that she was Chen Pei's mother and his elder after all, and she had helped himself just now, he forcibly endured the unhappiness in his heart, lowered his eyes and let her gaze wander over him......

Chen Pei knew that Lu Tao was arrogant and would definitely not be able to stand his mother's unscrupulous scrutiny, so he reminded his mother in a strange tone: "Mom, if you have anything to say, hurry up! Lu Tao is still injured, the ambulance in the hospital is still waiting outside, and Lu Tao and I have to go to the hospital for examination and treatment after you finish talking!"

Wu Manping then took her eyes off Lu Tao and asked directly: "Xiao Lu, where is your hometown? What do your parents do? Do you have any brothers and sisters?"

Lu Tao replied sullenly: "My hometown is Qingxi County, Huaisha City, my parents are farmers, my father died more than 20 years ago, I have an older sister, who has married and started a family, and works in Guangdong with my brother-in-law, and my mother now lives with my sister." ”

Wu Manping heard that his parents were both authentic farmers, and that his father had passed away for more than 20 years, the look on his face was even more ugly, he glanced at Chen Pei with a reproachful gaze, and asked in that condescending tone: "According to Peipei, you are now a cadre of the Local Taxation Bureau of Taolin County, Songshan City, what position do you currently have in the Local Taxation Bureau?"

Lu Tao listened to her interrogation more and more detailed, and her tone became more and more aggressive, knowing that she mistakenly thought that she was falling in love with Chen Pei, and she was obviously very dissatisfied with her "future sons-in-law", so at this moment, she used such a tone to get to the bottom of it, and she couldn't help but be angry, so she raised her head, looked directly at Wu Manping, and replied firmly: " Auntie, I am now a very ordinary clerk of the Taolin County Local Taxation Bureau, originally working in the Inspection Bureau, but not long ago because I made a mistake, I received a demerit punishment, and was transferred from the law enforcement post. ”

Lu Tao didn't plan to tell Chen Pei about his punishment, but when he saw Wu Manping interrogating him incessantly, he was a little angry, so he simply told her that he had been punished in the bureau, which made her completely disappointed in herself, and ended this conversation that made her feel thorny in the back as soon as possible......

Chen Pei couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard that Lu Tao had been punished not long ago, raised his eyes to look at Lu Tao, and saw that he was solemn, not like he was joking, nor like he was deliberately raising the bar to say angry things, so he anxiously asked: "Lu Tao, what is going on? What mistake did you make? The last time I went to your unit, didn't you tell me that I had just participated in the competition for middle-level cadres in your bureau? At that time, you also said that there was a great chance of success in this competition, why did you suddenly receive another punishment? Did your competitor frame you? ”

Lu Tao shook his head and said: "This matter is hard to describe, I was indeed framed by someone, but the person who framed me was not a person in the bureau, but a taxpayer." It's a complicated process, so I'll explain it to you when I have time!"

Wu Manping heard that Lu Tao was actually a problem cadre who had been punished, and her already calm face became even more ugly, and she was not interested in interrogating Lu Tao about other situations, so she stood up and took Chen Pei's hand, and said angrily while walking outside the duty room: "Pei Pei, you come out with me, I have something to ask you!"

Chen Pei was involuntarily dragged out of the duty room by her, walked more than ten meters to the right, and came to a turning place.

Wu Manping asked in a very stern tone: "Peipei, what is the relationship between you and Xiao Lu?

Chen Pei replied very calmly: "Yes, I like him very much, and I have liked him since I was in college. Mom, I can tell you something from my heart: Lu Tao is my first love and the man I want to marry the most. I also want to remind you of one thing: don't take it for granted that Lu Tao has taken a fancy to me, the daughter of the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, and wants to climb high branches, so he comes to pursue me. It's the opposite: now I'm actively pursuing Lu Tao, but he doesn't like me very much-"

When Wu Manping heard this, she couldn't bear it anymore, and said angrily with a purple face: "Pei Pei, are you taking the wrong nerve in your head? There are so many outstanding young talents around you who pursue you, and you can't look down on any of them, and told me and your father that you don't want to fall in love and get married for the time being, and we also believe your nonsense, but I didn't expect you to fall in love with such a stunned and rustic hillbilly, or a problem cadre who has made mistakes and been punished, do you want to be angry with me and your father?"

When Chen Pei heard her mother denounce Lu Tao as a "hillbilly," her face sank and said: "Mom, why are you calling Lu Tao a hillbilly? Like me, he is a college student at Zhongnan University of Finance and Economics, who is both civil and military, and has outstanding ability, is it interesting for you to belittle others like this? Besides, aren't your grandparents and grandparents all from rural areas? Do you now dislike Lu Tao as a peasant, have you forgotten your roots?"

Chen Pei easily refuses to talk back to her parents, but once she encounters something she believes in, she will be extremely stubborn and stubborn, and even her father Chen Dengfeng can't convince her. And Lu Tao is Chen Pei's favorite and most admired person, and it is also the principle and bottom line in her heart, so when she heard her mother slander him with ugly words, she couldn't help but lose her temper and spoke against her mother......

Wu Manping knew that her daughter was usually quiet and quiet, and she was not angry easily, but once she got angry, even her father was a little busy, so she had to sigh and say: "Peipei, I broke my heart for you, but you don't appreciate it at all." As the saying goes, 'women don't stay', since you have fallen in love with the boy surnamed Lu, I can't stop you, but I still have to advise you: 'Men are afraid of entering the wrong industry, women are afraid of marrying the wrong man!' As a girl, you must be cautious when it comes to love and marriage, once you marry the wrong person, it will ruin your lifelong happiness.

"In my opinion, although Lu Tao has a good appearance and looks like a talent, he has a violent temper, a stubborn personality, and has no scheming and city government, he doesn't know how to turn around and be flexible at all, and he is a tough donkey who goes all the way to the black. I guess that his punishment in their unit is also related to his character. If you marry him in the future, you will definitely be bullied by him, and you will definitely not be happy, which is what I am most worried about now. ”
