"Oh, what is that? Have you thought of how to settle your brother's debt?" Lu Ming asked with a smile.
I feel a little sorry in my heart. Every time Li Xianger meets me, her conversations with me are like adding new strong evidence to me in the court, and different store clerks have heard it.
Li Xiang'er shook her head, "No, I am planning to divorce him, so Mr. Lu, my brother has no value to you, but we will try our best to compensate Mr. Lu, and we will do our best to do our best. I hope
I can get Mr. Lu’s satisfaction and understanding..."
Lu Ming was stunned when he heard this. Divorce?
"Well, I have already thought about it. I also know that my father will definitely disagree. I will submit the divorce application and leave here for a while. When I come back next time, he and I will automatically terminate our marriage.
Right, Mr. Lu?" Li Xiang'er's tone was calm, but there was a hint of sadness.
Lu Ming nodded, "As long as the lawyer is not outrageous, it should be possible." This girl is actually soft on the outside but strong on the inside, and she has big ideas.
"Okay, Mr. Lu, I'll take my leave then. I will still bear what Xiaoxuan owes you. I will write to you when I get to the new place, but please don't tell others my address."
After saying that, Li Xiang'er stood up.
Lu Ming nodded: "Okay, then I hope you can find a new life."
In fact, when she left, she really left a lot of trouble for herself, and even made Hu Dingjin completely vent his anger on himself.
But if you want to persuade her to stay, forget it.
He got up and walked her to the door, watching her get on the rickshaw.
I don’t know if she will really leave, if Hu Dingjin will let her go, or if she can find a way to leave? In short, it’s none of her business.
…
The bright moon is bright, at the west entrance of the small town of Shilipu, under the ancient weeping willows, Lu Ming is sitting on a small horse, chatting with some old people.
They are all old people with wrinkled faces. They have worked hard for decades and have reached the final stage of their lives. Looking back now, all the hard work, sadness, and occasional happiness are like a passing cloud.
These old people never expected that they would one day meet a proprietor like Mr. Lu.
Just yesterday, Mr. Lu's housekeeper led people to deliver ten pounds of pork, ten pounds of white flour and two pounds of soybean oil to each elderly person over sixty years old in the village. He also promised that every month in the future, elderly people over sixty years old would receive
Ten pounds of rice and flour collected.
The day before yesterday, Mrs. Wei, the housekeeper of Mr. Lu's family, took the accountant and re-signed the land lease contract with all the tenant farmers in the town. The future land rent will be calculated at 30% per quarter. In the past, when the Xu family had a good harvest, the land rent would even reach
Seventy percent.
Xu Niuzi's land was also sold to Mr. Lu, and his family moved to the county town.
In other words, the land rent in the entire Shilipu area has been reduced in this way.
Many people don't even believe it. Anyway, few people know how to write the land lease contract. It's casual. It depends on what Master Lu says. People can't starve to death?
But now, all the elderly people in the town who are in their sixties and relatively healthy have been invited by Mr. Lu to chat under the ancient willow trees in the town.
This young new owner is indeed completely different from the previous landlord.
"Third Master, you just said you haven't seen a movie, right? Have you heard of it? Well, I just became a Shilipu native, so in a few days, I will invite the screening team to come and show movies for a few days. From now on, our town will
During the Chinese New Year, let the projection team come and show movies for a few days." Lu Ming said with a smile to an old man with wrinkles on his face.
This Mr. Xu has obviously seen the world before and is able to answer his own questions. Unlike other old people, most of whom are very reserved, they just smile and apologize for what they say.
Mr. Xu smiled over there, showing his black teeth, "Well done, Mr. Third, I know that you are a nobleman from a big place and you don't care about land rent. But if you do this, the nearby landowners will
Everyone is offended."
Lu Ming smiled: "Whatever, the most miserable people in the five provinces of Jiangnan are the farmers, but the resources created by the people who are the most miserable are actually the basis of our survival, and the work they do is the most tiring. It is not normal to be at your age.
, as long as you can work, you have to work in the fields, otherwise you won’t have any protection, it doesn’t feel right when you think about it, right?”
Mr. Xu chuckled and said: "It seems that it has been like this for hundreds of years. There is nothing wrong with it. If you don't read or read, you will only know how to farm, right?"
Lu Ming nodded: "But what's wrong with reading and literacy? You can take some positions in the city instead of Third Master. I think you can do it as Administrative Commissioner!"
Third Master Xu was startled, "Third Young Master, I don't dare to say that, I don't dare to say that!"
Lu Ming laughed and said: "Third Master, and uncles and uncles? Are you tired? You should go home and rest. You don't have to accompany me!"
"I'm not tired!" an old man said immediately, and the other old people all agreed.
Although Mr. Lu, or the "Third Young Master", could not quite understand what he was saying, and he did not dare to answer the words himself, nor did he know how to answer them, but sitting near him and listening to his words, his face was full of smiles.
It's a great honor. After returning home, the younger members of the family will gather around and ask questions. Even the unfilial children will become more honest in a short time.
Over there, Lu Ming thought, these old men are quite energetic.
However, there are only a dozen or so people in Shilipu who are over sixty years old and in good health. The average life expectancy in the villages of the five provinces south of the Yangtze River today is much different from that in my previous life.
Suddenly, a woman's scream pierced the night sky, which was particularly harsh in the silent night. Some birds were frightened and flew up.
Not far away, a man in black shirt immediately waved his hand, and someone quickly ran in the direction of the screams.
The screams had turned into cries.
Lu Ming was startled at first, thinking it was a fight between villagers? It was the screams that made people feel horrified. But he saw the old people sitting around him shaking their heads and sighing.
"Third Master, what's going on? Do any family members often quarrel like this?" Lu Ming asked Mr. Xu.
Mr. Xu sighed and said, "This woman from the Dazhu family is having a happy event for the third young master in the past few days, so it seems that the man who blocked her mouth has broken free. Don't blame the third young master."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Lu Ming glanced at Mr. Xu, nodded, and said without asking any more questions, "Okay, I'm a little tired, so I'm going back to rest!"
Lu Ming stood up and walked a few steps, smiled and gestured to the old people who had all stood up, and waved to the man in black shirt who was following Yuluan a few steps away. The man in black shirt immediately followed him and smiled.
He jogged two steps and arrived in front of Lu Ming.
"Master!" The man in black shirt has a flattering smile on his face. He is wearing a black silk shirt with his belly open, revealing a white vest underneath, black cloth pants and shoes, and a box gun holster with a long strap on his shoulder. He has a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. In his previous life
In other words, it is a typical image of a traitor in movies and TV dramas.
His surname is also Xu, and he is the fourth eldest child. He was originally a distant relative of the Xu family, and was also the head of the Xu family's nursing home.
The dozen or so nursing staff of the Xu family not only protect the tranquility of the house and fight against bandits, but also serve as a deterrent to the tenant farmers. In special periods, they may violently collect rent, but the tenant farmers in Shilipu have never collectively caused trouble, so they have not been used.
Come to collect rent.
Originally, all the nursing homes hired by the Xu family from other places were dismissed by Lu Ming, but Xu Laosi was from this town, and Sister-in-law Wei found out that he had no bad record. He was pretty good to the villagers, and he was a local familiar with the situation, so
, retained him as the deputy security chief of the town, and maintained law and order in the town.
For such villages and towns, real public power cannot enter. The local landowner is the local emperor. Not to mention ordinary disputes, even murder cases are handled privately.
Looking at Xu Laosi at this moment, Lu Ming asked: "What's going on?"
"She's a lunatic, sir. I've already asked someone to stop her mouth!" Xu Laosi said with a flattering smile on his face.
"Are you really crazy? You're not a trafficked woman, are you?"
"What a madman!" Xu Laosi smiled bitterly: "Master, who in this village can afford to buy abducted women?"
Lu Ming sighed inwardly. Nowadays, mental patients in rural areas are indeed a problem. No one has the money to send them to a mental hospital, so if they go crazy, they will go crazy. Most of them run away and die without a trace.
It is normal for relatives to stay and take care of those who are more serious, such as keeping them at home, especially when they are sick.
Looking at Lu Ming's expression, Xu Laosi said cautiously: "Sir, this Second Aunt Zhao was fine a few years ago. Yes, she was her daughter. When she was only seven or eight years old, she was raped to death by Xu Dazhong the year before last. Then Second Aunt Zhao
That’s crazy.”
Lu Ming was startled. Xu Dazhong was originally the eldest son of the Xu family, and he was also the one who organized the small shareholders to cause trouble. He had met him a few times, but had never spoken to him. The third son of the Cao family had nothing to do with him about theories and the like.
Quarrel.
After looking at Xu Laosi, Lu Ming nodded inwardly. It seemed reasonable that the villagers had a good opinion of him. What was his intention in saying this to himself? He knew it, but he couldn't stand it. He had already had a conscience.
Uneasy, now that he can drive Xu Dazhong away, he will test whether he can take care of such things.
"This Xu Dazhong has done a lot of bad things?" Lu Ming asked casually as he walked.
Xu Laosi hesitated for a moment and said: "Yes..."
Lu Ming nodded. The Xu family moved to the urban area of Heishan City and hated himself even more.
Montenegro's own intelligence station, the Yellow River Trading Company, had news a few days ago that Xu Dazhong was secretly looking for a killer to get rid of him to vent his anger, and even offered a high price of 10,000 yuan. However, he didn't have much access in the first place.
Instead, I was defrauded of a thousand yuan deposit by a scammer.
In addition, Commander Hu may have settled the life of the Xu family in order to show that he would not kill the donkey. Of course, the Xu family still had some residual wealth. Not to mention anything else, the Longgang County Office paid 50,000 yuan to redeem the land.
Yuan.
But today at noon, Master Gong received a call from Commander Hu. Commander Hu wanted to make an appointment to talk to him.
He also received a call from Wells. Hu originally hoped that Governor Chuxon would remove the current county governor of Longgang. He spread the news that Longgang has been in chaos recently and it was all caused by the new county governor.
But Governor Chuxon has his granddaughter-in-law to talk about. Speaking of the Longgang County Governor, Lady Windsor, the wife of the Grand Duke of Falkland, is from the imperial capital. Even if there may be a few layers of relationship between them, as long as the county governor has not violated any laws or regulations.
Removing him directly from office is ultimately not a good idea.
Grandpa Wells was not completely ignorant, but he still felt that what his grandson said made sense, because Hu's pillow style had no effect.
From the governor, he couldn't do anything to drive him away, and after many recent battles.
Hu Dingshan may have realized that it seemed extremely difficult to drive him away completely, so he finally began to change his mind and see if he could coexist with him in Montenegro.
That's why I made this call to Master Gong.
Thinking about these things, Lu Ming looked up at the bright moon in the sky, thoughtfully.
