Chapter 243 Gu Yingqing is going back to the village to visit relatives
Lu Yuanbo was as straightforward and direct in admitting that he liked Xie Qianyu as he hesitated and wavered in his actions.
He was no longer such an impulsive person, but because Xie Long's health had deteriorated after returning to the village from the health center, he recklessly went to settle scores with those people.
His remaining rationality had already made him cautious enough.
But it was still discovered.
Finally, the person came looking for them.
Lu Yuanqing was unaware of their purpose.
But my intuition tells me that the other party is probably after the bamboo ware factory or something else.
After the incident, Lu Yuanqing had already figured out who the ringleader was.
Bai Sheng from the Red Flag Brigade.
He used to be a good-for-nothing in the production team, but because he had an older sister, he married a minor leader in the county.
He then became the leader of the Geweihui.
After showing off his power in the town, his first focus was on Shihua Village.
The bamboo ware factory was not the kind of place he was dealing with, nor was it the place for those who had been sent down to the countryside. Therefore, Bai Sheng had long wanted to regain the face he had lost after suffering a loss in Shihua Village.
Facing Xie Long and Xie Qianyu was truly unexpected.
Lu Yuanqing had no time to concern himself with Lu Yuanbo's mental journey after his enlightenment; his mind was now filled with the words Bai Sheng had spoken during his last visit.
With the entire production team of Shihua Village as their backing, Lu Yuanqing had previously disregarded the other party.
He's just a lucky guy; once the storm passes and the sun shines again, he won't be able to show off.
But now it seems the situation is a bit different from what he expected.
Lu Yuanqing thought about what Bai Sheng had said when he came to her house again and couldn't help but feel that Bai Sheng had ulterior motives and that he must have someone behind him.
Someone of extraordinary status, someone they cannot deal with.
It was at this moment that Lu Yuanqing finally remembered the system that hadn't made a sound for a long time.
"System! System..."
"What is it!"
That was that same mechanical voice, as always.
Lu Yuanqing asked directly, "Do you know what kind of problems Bai Sheng has behind him?"
system:"……"
Silence is the awkwardness of tonight.
Lu Yuanqing smiled, understanding. This meant he knew.
But they didn't say it.
"So, are they targeting me? Or the bamboo ware factory?"
Lu Yuanqing did not argue or press for answers, but instead changed the subject.
system:"……"
sigh.
"It's for the bamboo ware factory!"
Knowing Lu Yuanqing's meticulousness, he wouldn't give up until he received a satisfactory answer.
The system hesitated for a moment before promptly answering all questions.
Lu Yuanqing's smile widened.
"The bamboo ware factory makes a lot of profit, but it's a collectively owned factory. Who are these people who dare to set their sights on us!"
Being watched like this every day made Lu Yuanqing unhappy.
System: "Host, you can't say this!"
Lu Yuanqing sometimes felt that this system was useless.
But reason told him that it wasn't the system that was useless, but rather the person behind it—or perhaps the system behind it had some purpose that he couldn't know at the moment.
Lu Yuanqing didn't know what the purpose was, but his intuition told him it was harmless.
He stopped trying to find the answer.
He knew that sooner or later, he would figure out why the system had come looking for him.
Even the reasons why the original owner entrusted him with this task, and how he acquired the ability to be reborn after death—all these questions will one day be answered.
Although, the answer will not be revealed for a very long time.
He can wait.
Lu Yuanqing smiled and didn't say anything more to the system.
He already knows what he needs to know, and the system won't tell him what he shouldn't know.
However, Lu Yuanqing was certain that Bai Sheng, or the person behind him, had approached him because of the bamboo ware factory.
He didn't know what abilities the other party had, or even who the other party was.
Lu Yuanqing had no worries. Since the other party had this purpose, they would eventually reveal their true colors.
Counter each move as it comes!
Just as Lu Yuanqing had figured everything out and was letting go of his troubles, news spread through the village.
Gu Hewang and Fang Qingqing have set a date and plan to get married.
Gu Hewang's father, the eldest son of the Gu family, Gu Yingqing, who went to the army at the same time as Lu Yuanjun, the second son of the Lu family, will return on that day.
As the only person in the village still in the army, and who is said to be doing better and better, Gu Yingqing is the most curious person in the village who has been away from home for a long time.
In no time, the whole village was filled with news about the Gu family.
Lu Yuanqing also had a great deal of curiosity about this person, whose memories of the original owner were somewhat vague.
He has been here for many years, and he has never seen Gu Yingqing come back to visit relatives in the village.
This meant that he had only ever heard of the person and had never actually met him.
As the eldest son of the Gu family, and the pillar and leader of everyone in the family, Lu Yuanqing couldn't help but ask Gu Baoxia about it out of curiosity.
"My older brother?"
Lu Yuanqing nodded. "These past few days, everyone in the village has been saying that your older brother's son is getting married, and he's finally coming back to visit his family."
Actually, a lot has been said, and some people have also said that Gu Yingqing is not very satisfied with his daughter-in-law Zhao Fengqin and his son Gu Hewang.
Otherwise, why would he leave his wife and son in the village all year round while he enjoys a life of luxury outside?
Some even speculated that if Gu Yingqing weren't concerned about his reputation, he might have already abandoned his poor relatives, wife, and son, and then remarried a new wife with status and position.
There are many rumors.
Lu Yuanqing didn't care how many versions of the Chen Shimei rumor he had heard. He felt that outsiders' opinions were never as objective as those of his own family.
Uh, this "Gu family" only refers to Gu Baoxia.
Upon hearing his words, Gu Baoxia paused in her grip on the pen, a fleeting emotion flashing across her eyes.
"Why did you suddenly think of asking about my older brother?" Gu Baoxia tugged at the corners of her mouth, but there wasn't much of a smile in it.
Lu Yuanqing laughed, "Just curious!"
The original owner seemed to be a little afraid of the other party, so she didn't have many memories of Gu Yingqing.
Having never met the other person in person, it's understandable that Lu Yuanqing is curious about this person who has been in the army for many years and is now doing increasingly well, having come from the countryside to this point.
Even at this moment, he still asked with normal curiosity.
Gu Baoxia, however, clearly wasn't keen on answering that question.
It should be said that she really didn't want to mention Gu Yingqing.
A variety of complex emotions flashed through her mind before she finally calmed down.
"He's very profit-driven!"
Lu Yuanqing rolled his eyes at her.
"nonsense!"
Isn't that obvious? Who doesn't value profit?
Putting aside the fact that the people behind the scenes who are watching their bamboo ware factory are only after their own interests.
Gu Yingqing couldn't have gotten to where she is now simply because she's a Buddhist.
There's nothing wrong with someone whose heart is filled with self-interest and who values self-interest.
Gu Baoxia: "..." It's hard to put into words!
