Chapter 601

Lu Qiaoge put down the phone.

She didn't leave either, just waited for the call in the office; old man Qin handled things neatly, whether it would work or not, it was estimated that he would call her in a while.

After all, if old man Qin wanted to find someone, there was no one he couldn't find.

Sure enough, in less than ten minutes, old man Qin called.

"Qiaoge, I contacted Director Fang; he has already called the relevant departments. You can go back to Qinggang Village now and tell the local commune president and the child's parents. Three days later, Director Fang will send someone to pick her up... Relevant matters will be explained to the parents when they meet."

Thinking for a while, old man Qin added: "If the parents ask you, you can also say it like this: as military dependents, they will have subsidies every month, and if the family conditions are particularly difficult, one can consider arranging work for them locally..."

Lu Qiaoge nodded in agreement.

When she left just now, the Cao family was dividing the household, and Lu Qiaoge didn't know what the second Cao couple could get.

She couldn't say whether the Cao family belonged to the difficult or particularly difficult category now.

But no matter how it was divided, it was definitely difficult.

Lu Qiaoge still had to return to Qinggang Village; although the old man still had some words to exhort Lu Qiaoge, he wouldn't choose this time, so he simply hung up the phone.

Lu Qiaoge walked out of the office, started her jeep, and drove toward Qinggang Village.

And at this time, old man Cao, who had a bit of cleverness, really came up with a plan to divide the household.

Even President Yu didn't expect that this old man wouldn't follow anyone, choosing to live by himself, but instead drove all his sons out.

Grain and daily necessities at home were divided equally, and the three daughters-in-law had to come to cook for one week each; as for how to arrange the work at home, old man Cao didn't care.

The ducks and geese raised were also divided equally.

The debt of over one hundred yuan owed for the third daughter-in-law's bride price also had to be divided equally.

As for where the three sons lived, he didn't care; they needed the brigade leader to allocate homesteads.

This was also stipulated in the countryside.

There was no shortage of homesteads; just expand to the edge of the village.

The brigade leader had no way to refute and say it wouldn't work; after all, those who divided the household in the village were all like this.

He just felt that old man Cao was truly cunning and treacherous, this old thing...

The brigade leader said: "Okay, the homestead will be according to the commune's regulations; as for the others, you feel it's okay yourselves, but now that you are dividing the household, it's not popular for the brigade leader or the branch secretary of the village to sign and witness, so subsequent disputes or unfairness have nothing to do with the brigade office."

Old man Cao looked at the eldest daughter-in-law whose complexion had become even uglier, and looked at his cowardly eldest son, thinking in his heart, didn't the eldest daughter-in-law have a good relationship with the third daughter-in-law? This time, the debt was divided equally, and the eldest family also had to share over forty yuan; let's see if she and the third daughter-in-law still had a good relationship.

The eldest Cao sister-in-law definitely didn't agree, and she was about to explode with her eyes wide, but at this time, the police station and the security station had both arrived, standing in the courtyard, and President Yu said: "Your division of the household is like this; handle the follow-up yourselves, but if you want to continue making trouble, that's fine, as long as you don't beat human brains into dog brains, our commune won't manage it."

President Yu said to Old Liu of the down jacket factory: "Little Factory Director Lu will be back in a while; let's go to the next family and take a look."

Old Liu also felt it was okay.

Then he heard a villager ask the old principal: "Principal, our child really doesn't like to study; he just loves herding ducks and geese, feeling it's more fun than studying. He said he gets a headache when he sees textbooks, and I can't manage it either. Really, the family doesn't lack a child to do work, because our family is different from the old Cao family. Anyway, as long as you can persuade the child, we can do anything."

The old principal felt that everyone in the village who was at home should have come to watch the fun.

So he looked in the crowd; if that parent was there, he wouldn't have to go to his home.

Unfortunately, the person wasn't there.

Someone saw the old principal looking for someone and knew who he was looking for, so someone shouted loudly: "Old principal, you are looking for the two children of the old Lin family, right? They went to the low-lying wasteland early in the morning..."

Subsequently, she actually wanted to say a few more words, but was stopped by the daughter-in-law in the family.

The daughter-in-law lowered her voice: "Mom, this is the Lin family's business; we are not related to them, why are you managing it? Besides, Lin Gang's wife is so fierce; if she really comes to find trouble with you, Mom, it's not that I'm boosting others' morale and destroying my own prestige, but the two of us together can't beat Lin Gang's wife."

The woman gritted her teeth, thinking in her heart, who could beat her?

As long as someone stood up for the two children, Lin Gang's wife would happily pull the two children and send them to the other party.

She would tell the person who stood up for them: "Aren't you not looking at it? Don't you feel I'm abusing the two children and not giving them enough to eat and wear? Then take them to your home; you stew meat for them, make new clothes for them, no matter what you do for them, I won't manage it..."

To tell the truth, life is not easy now, and generally, families have three or four children.

If there were really two more mouths at home, it would also be a burden.

And it wouldn't be bad if they were completely abandoned.

Maybe they could find a good home for the children.

Old man Wang of Qinggang Village was a five-guarantee household; after telling the brigade leader, he took the two children over, and everyone felt that the two children would live with old man Wang in the future; although it was a bit bitter, it was still better than now.

But who could have thought that before dawn, the two children would be called away by that woman, sent over when eating, and picked up to go home to work after eating.

Just ask, is this person lacking virtue or not?

So, later, almost no one dared to say a fair word for the children.

And Lin Gang only had eyes for his remarried wife and the two sons just born.

The maiden families of those two children didn't manage them either, so in the end, they all turned a blind eye.

Even though so many big cadres came, it was estimated to be enough.

The old principal's expression was also a bit depressed.

The reason he made such a big fuss was that he wanted the higher-ups to come forward and manage it.

There was no such reason in the world.

Once someone spoke for the two children, that woman would drive the two children to this person's home, making the two children basically not communicate with the villagers now.

It wasn't that they didn't like the villagers, but because they didn't want to implicate the kind neighbors who secretly gave them things to eat.

So these two sensible children made people feel even more distressed.

The two children, one ten and one eight, although not as smart as Zhaodi, were also diligent and good children. It was a pity not to study.

This was how today's scene came about.

The old principal saw President Yu preparing to go to the next family and hurriedly followed.

However, he turned his head to look at Zhaodi, who was looking at him with eager eyes and some fear, thought for a while, and said to her: "Zhaodi, you stay with me and Teacher Yin first, and I'll send you home after the matter is handled in a while."

After all, she was a child, and Zhaodi turned her head to look at her parents who were standing there and hadn't said much from beginning to end.
