Chapter 220

But it had to be said, the old turtle's suggestion was tempting.

But there was another problem here.

Just like the space ability she once possessed.

It was lost as soon as it was lost.

There were countless good things in the space.

Now there was nothing left.

Lu Qiaoge stopped thinking about this. Actually, as long as she had a house, all problems would be solved.

Lu Qiaoge divided the fish and shrimp in the iron bucket into two.

She put them in another small iron bucket and then placed it on the bicycle handlebars.

Just as she was about to leave, Meng Xia called out to Lu Qiaoge and said to her: "Just now, that Shao Le from your unit went to resolve a dispute at Mother Sun's house. After resolving it, he looked for you, but knowing you weren't home, he left without even entering the door."

Lu Qiaoge asked casually: "What dispute is at Mother Sun's house?"

Meng Xia said: "I just found out too. Mother Sun's neighbor, that Zhang Zhuliang, he's a fitter in the second workshop. Yesterday, he beat Mother Sun's big black dog to death, saying the big black dog bit his daughter."

Mother Sun didn't admit it, saying it was impossible, her big black dog was obedient and listened, how could it bite people? So she reported it to the neighborhood office, saying the neighborhood office should mediate and let Zhang Zhuliang pay Mother Sun three yuan. That settled the matter."

Lu Qiaoge frowned.

Don't look at Mother Sun's house living in this area of flat houses.

But her house occupied two households.

And it was tidied up very neatly and beautifully, no less than the buildings where cadres lived.

Her courtyard was three times the size of the Lu family's courtyard.

Not only was there a small vegetable garden, but Sun Lao also raised a big black dog.

The Sun family was about the same as the Old Xu family; family members were either cadres or workers. Mother Sun had taken sick leave early on, had a monthly salary, and could also paste boxes to earn pocket money.

There was only one little grandson in kindergarten eating for free in the family.

The Zhang family... Lu Qiaoge was also clear about it.

His father was paralyzed in bed from a cerebral infarction, and his mother, according to later generations, should have Alzheimer's disease.

She now didn't remember her husband, her son, her daughter-in-law, or her two granddaughters.

Zhang Zhuliang's father and mother weren't workers, so they naturally didn't have a retirement salary.

Only Zhang Zhuliang and his wife worked in the family.

Lu Qiaoge knew Zhang Zhuliang; this person was always frowning, and at less than forty years old, his waist was already hunched.

If you don't have patients in your family, you don't know what it's like to have two such patients; even good people could be tortured to death.

Meng Xia sighed there: "Although the Zhang family is quite difficult. But he really beat that big black dog to death in front of Mother Sun, and someone saw it. Mother Sun was so scared she almost fainted."

"But then again, no one saw the big black dog bite his daughter. Come to think of it, it's also pitiful; the child was bitten quite badly, with wounds on her arms and legs."

"But that's no use; there's no one who saw it and no evidence, so Zhang Zhuliang beat the dog to death, and Mother Sun was definitely angry."

"She said Zhang Zhuliang's daughter might have been bitten by someone else's dog and then blamed it on her house, isn't it just seeing her family's conditions are good and wanting to extort some money to spend?"

"She said she didn't ask for much, three yuan, just wanting justice for her big black dog. That dog was raised from a puppy and she had feelings for it."

Lu Qiaoge could understand this.

A dog raised from a puppy was beaten to death in front of one's eyes, so one definitely couldn't let it go.

So it caused a scene at the neighborhood office.

Shao Le came to mediate, asking if it could be paid after the salary was issued next month.

She didn't know if it had been mediated well or not.

Lu Qiaoge didn't call her little animals for the time being. If it was bitten by the big black dog, could animals testify?

If it was bitten by someone else's dog, it also needed evidence.

Meng Xia said: "The Zhang family is also quite difficult. Logically, I should go see, but Mother Sun has always been good to our family. When we had no money or grain, she lent it to me. If I go to see that girl, Mother Sun will definitely be unhappy. Sigh, I don't know what to do."

Lu Qiaoge: "I'll go. I'll take two cans for Ya Ya."

Lu Qiaoge walked from the alley behind the house, and after passing the alley, it was the main road.

The road in the alley wasn't easy to walk. Having strength and speed was useless; it was full of potholes, and the bicycle would just bounce. It would be a miracle if you could ride it steadily.

Lu Qiaoge had no choice but to push it, pushing it all the way to the alley of the Sun family and the Zhang family.

Before she even got close, she heard Old Sun scolding: "Zhang, are you crazy from poverty? Extorting people to my house? I tell you, pay me three yuan immediately, and also, you have to apologize to my dog and say you wronged it. Boo-hoo, my big black, you died so miserably..."

Quite a few people were already surrounding them to watch the excitement.

But it wasn't just watching the excitement; there were also people persuading them.

"Little Zhang, although it's just a dog, it was raised from a puppy and there were feelings. You beat it to death just like that; you should at least apologize to the owner."

"It's just a dog, pay the money and be done with it. Apologize? What, do you have to kowtow three times at the dog's grave?"

"Old Liu, aren't you stirring up trouble? Is that what I meant? Look at how Sun Lao is crying."

Someone whispered: "Sun Lao is really interesting, huh? Even with feelings, it's not to the point of crying. Wouldn't it be fine to just raise another one?"

"I don't like cats and dogs; I don't know how there can be feelings. I really don't understand."

"Right, has everyone forgotten the dog-beating movement in '73? Dogs are things that shouldn't be raised. They are loyal to you, the owner, but to others, they are beasts. They bite whenever they want. In my opinion, our military factory should organize a dog-beating movement."

"I think it's fine. It's only been a few years, and there are so many dogs in the flat house area again. And those who raise dogs don't tie them up. Isn't it just biting people whenever they want?"

"Sun Lao, stop crying. We're all in the same unit; there's no need to make such a scene."

Someone else shouted: "My dog will have puppies next month. I'll bring you two then. You can raise them however you want. Really, is this matter worth it?"

Anyway, everyone was saying everything.

Lu Qiaoge parked her bicycle on the side.

She put the two cans in the net and stood on the side of the road, but she was looking at Zhang Zhuliang's house.

Zhang Zhuliang and his wife were both in the courtyard.

The Zhang family and the Sun family were separated by a fence wall more than a meter high.

The flat houses they lived in now didn't have high walls and large courtyards; the neighbors to the left and right of the Lu family also had fence walls more than a meter high.

You could jump over it with one hand.

The neighborhood office handled it without any problems. Beating a dog to death without evidence and paying the other party three yuan was considered very fair by many people.

It was also a warning that in the future, when encountering such things, you couldn't just do it when you wanted to.

It was only three yuan; which family of military factory workers couldn't take out three yuan?

The Lu family had also been difficult, but if they had to take out three yuan, they could take it out. If they really didn't have it, they could borrow it and pay it back when the salary was issued next month.

Thus, not many people spoke up for the silent Zhang family.

And no one even asked how the child was bitten.

But this was actually normal.

Children now were all raised in the open, and if they were bitten by a dog, they were bitten. Very few people went to get rabies shots.

And rabies vaccines weren't popularized now either.
