Chapter 165 Personally Change Your Name to Fang Goudan
"What? You don't admit it now? Didn't you just say that you and Xu Baoqiang were playing cards outside and owed over a hundred yuan, and asked me to help you? Now you don't dare to admit it. How can you be like this?"
"Xu Baoqiang?" Secretary Lu asked in surprise. He then looked at Zhou Jianwei with an unpleasant expression and asked angrily, "You're hanging out with Xu Baoqiang again! Didn't I tell you to stay away from him and not to hang out with him? And now you're actually gambling with him..."
"I, I didn't, uncle, I really didn't!" Zhou Jianwei widened his eyes and looked at Bai Nuo in shock.
How could she know this? He always went to play with Xu Baoqiang after dark, and she clearly just didn't see him.
Even his mother doesn't know about this!
Although his mother supported him in pursuing Bai Zhiqing, she was very stingy and refused to give him any money. The things he had recently given to Bai Nuo were all won by him and Xu Baoqiang when they went out to play. Only the cake he had just received was really made by his mother, but the flour and sugar were all brought back by himself.
"Yes!"
Among the onlookers, a young man in his twenties exclaimed, "Last night, when I woke up, I saw the Construction Committee sneaking out. I also saw him leaving with Xu Baoqiang. I was wondering where these two were going so late at night. I even heard them talking about retrieving it tonight. I was so sleepy that I didn't pay attention. Now I understand, they went out to play cards together."
Now almost everyone believed it!
The young man's house is right next to Old Zhou's, and the walls of the two houses are not high. If he gets up at night and stands under the wall to urinate, someone next door will definitely see it.
Besides, Xiaobai Zhiqing looks like an innocent and simple girl. Although she is usually... a little too lively, she would not lie to others about this matter, and there is no benefit in it.
Besides, she is well-off and doesn't look like someone who is short of money. If someone is forced into a desperate situation and secretly asks her to borrow money, it seems... it makes sense!
"Ah!"
Fang Meng sneered, looking at Zhou Jianwei with anger. "So you're taking advantage of my sister. You think she's a young woman from out of town who's easy to bully and thin-skinned. You lost money out there and are in debt. You don't dare go back to your parents, so you want to secretly borrow money from this helpless young woman. You have a good idea."
"No, no, I didn't. I didn't borrow money from her. I did it for... well!"
Zhou Jianwei was just about to say that he was pursuing Bai Nuo when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest. He trembled all over in pain and cold sweat broke out on his forehead again. He couldn't speak because of the pain.
Li Cui'e put on a stern face and pinched the captain's lower back hard.
The team leader's face tensed instantly, and he pursed his lips to suppress a cry. He quickly turned to look at the secretary and said through gritted teeth, "Old Lu, our team can't do things like bullying female educated youth. The reputation we have built up over the years is well-known in the commune.
If they deliberately bully the helpless female educated youth and demand repayment because a local member of the commune owes money for playing cards, our Qishui Brigade will be humiliated."
Mu Rujun's eyes flickered slightly, and she squeezed Bai Nuo's little hand, then let go and walked to her father-in-law, whispering, "Dad, I heard that Bai Zhiqing has a cousin who works in the county government office."
Secretary Lu was still hesitating, but when he heard his daughter-in-law's words, his pupils dilated instantly. His daughter-in-law had a good relationship with Bai Zhiqing, so he would not doubt her words.
Secretary Lu is a conservative and upright person. What he cares most about is the future of his children and grandchildren and the honor of the Qishui Brigade. Now that a nephew is involved with the two people he cares about most, there is no need for hesitation.
With a crisp "pa" sound, Zhou Jianwei, who was already weak from the pain, was slapped to the ground by Secretary Lu.
"Zhou Jianwei, you've truly disappointed me. You're a fine young man, yet you don't do anything serious every day. You actually dared to go out and play cards, and you even owed so much money. You don't even have the ability to pay it back, and you even dared to set your sights on Bai Zhiqing. Do you have any shame?
From today on, you don't have to work as a scorekeeper anymore. My Lu family won't take care of the money you owe. Let your parents figure it out on their own."
Secretary Lu looked at Zhou Jianwei with dissatisfaction and disappointment, then turned to look at the team leader: "Old Wei, what do you think?"
This matter is actually not a big deal. It can only be regarded as Zhou Jianwei's misconduct. Playing cards and gambling is not a big deal in the countryside. Many men get together to play when they have nothing to do. Some of them just want to kill time in their spare time and play for a few points. The women at home can't do anything about it.
Directly removing him from the position of scorekeeper was already a severe punishment, and this was imposed because Zhou Jianwei wanted to secretly force the educated youth to lend him money.
"I didn't, uncle, I really didn't. Why don't you believe me?" Zhou Jianwei was dumbfounded. He sat on the ground, covering his face with one hand, and almost cried when he looked at Secretary Lu.
He finally tasted the inexplicable feeling. Not only his own uncle, but looking around, no one around believed him. Instead, they were trying to comfort Bai Nuo who seemed frightened.
"You still say you don't have it, but look at what's in your pocket, it's all exposed!" Chao Xianhua, who came over at some point, pointed at Zhou Jianwei's shirt pocket with a look of contempt on her face.
The people around looked at Chao Xianhua's hand and saw two banknotes sticking out from the edge of his pocket, which were obviously two yuan.
Zhou Jianwei looked down at his pocket in a daze, and took out the two dollars from his pocket with trembling hands.
How could this be?
He, when did he put it in his pocket!
How could he have any money in his pocket? Didn’t he lose it all last night?
"Uncle, that's what I lent him. I'm usually afraid of losing money, so I like to draw a line on a corner with a pen." Bai Nuo curled his lips and gently pulled the captain's clothes.
"Uncle knows!" The captain nodded gently, patted the little girl's shoulder, and then pushed her to his wife behind him, "Don't be angry, go find your aunt!"
"Oh!" Bai Nuo nodded obediently, took a few steps back and came to Li Cui'e's side. He raised his hand and hugged Aunt Cui'e's arm, and leaned his little face on his aunt's arm.
"It's okay, it's okay, auntie is here, my Nuo Nuo is the best." Li Cui'e rubbed the little girl's head with her other hand with heartache.
Although she has a daughter, she is no different from her other sons except that she cannot find a wife. When she was three or four years old, she started running around outside with her brothers like a wild monkey.
Like her daughter Nuonuo, who acts coquettishly and spoiledly?
Haha, it doesn’t exist, not even in dreams!
If her daughter encountered the same thing today, haha, I guess that tiger girl would tear the other party apart before these people came over. At that time, I don’t know whether these people came to support the victim or to save Zhou Jianwei.
Although she also loves her daughter, but... the old mother feels so sad!
