Chapter 246 Donation
In the yard, Lu Xiaotong grabbed the chicken's wings with both hands and watched the chicken struggling in her hands, finding it quite amusing.
As a result, when Aunt Chen cut the chicken's neck, the blood flowed into the salt water that had been prepared in advance.
The chicken struggled even more violently, and Lu Xiaotong no longer found it fun.
"Woo woo woo, brother, come here quickly!"
Lu Xiaotong didn't hold the chicken firmly, and the chicken blood splashed onto Lu Xiaotong's face, making her even more scared.
Lu Ye, who was eating watermelon and chatting about the past with Jiang Zhiwan, saw this scene, shook his head and smiled.
Lu Ye flashed to Lu Xiaotong's side and took the chicken from Lu Xiaotong's hand. "I told you not to catch it."
Aunt Chen laughed at the side, "Xiaotong is still the same as before, calling me brother when she gets scared."
Lu Xiaotong blushed, tears welled up in her eyes, and she snorted, "I'm not going to pay attention to you guys anymore."
Having said that, Lu Xiaotong ran to the kitchen and hung out with her sister Qiuxue.
Although she already knew that Sister Qiuxue would not be able to become sister-in-law, in Lu Xiaotong's heart, Shen Qiuxue was already a family member.
After being humiliated by Lu Ye, he had no choice but to seek comfort from Shen Qiuxue.
In Aunt Chen's house, it was so warm that it seemed as if all the noise from the outside world was fake.
No need to think about cults, realms, favorability relationships, etc.
After killing chickens and ducks and processing a fish, Aunt Chen cooked a large table of dishes.
If it weren't for Shen Qiuxue's help and Lu Ye's assistance, this large table of dishes would not have been ready without advance preparation.
In fact, Aunt Chen’s cooking skills are not as good as Shen Qiuxue’s, but in this warm environment, reminiscing about the past, the food tastes much better than the delicacies she had in Xiacheng.
At the dinner table, Aunt Chen looked at Jiang Zhiwan and asked nervously, "Miss, are you used to eating these simple meals?"
Ever since Aunt Chen knew that Jiang Zhiwan was the president of Jiang Group, she has always been very reserved in front of Jiang Zhiwan.
Lu Ye felt that it was a good thing that he didn't tell Aunt Chen that he was actually the executive vice president of Jiang Group, otherwise Aunt Chen would not be reserved with him.
Jiang Zhiwan took a bite of the duck leg that Lu Ye had picked up and said with a smile, "I am not the kind of person who is difficult to raise."
Although Jiang Zhiwan was smiling, Aunt Chen still felt awkward and didn't dare to say anything more.
Lu Ye had no good solution for this, after all, Aunt Chen was just an ordinary person in a small county town all her life.
"By the way, Aunt Chen, has Lu Bo bullied you in the past two years?" Lu Ye asked with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
Now that I'm back and have the strength, I can't just let it go.
There are many people during the day, and if Lu Ye is too harsh, Aunt Chen may not be able to stay in Xiaozhu County in the future.
So at that time Lu Ye could only give a slight punishment, but that didn't mean that he would just let it go.
Aunt Chen didn't feel Lu Ye's coldness. She shook her head and said, "Isn't it the same as before? They want to take advantage of every little bit. In the past two years, they have been trying to take over your old house."
"That was your former home, and I can't just watch them take it for themselves. But I'm just an old woman, and there's nothing I can do."
As she spoke, Aunt Chen sighed.
After listening to her, Lu Ye nodded and consoled her with a smile, "Aunt Chen, we are back now, it's okay."
"Yes, Aunt Chen, my brother is very powerful now, much more powerful than that crappy second uncle." Lu Xiaotong spoke aggressively with his mouth full of grease.
"Okay, Aunt Chen feels relieved that Xiaotong is here." Aunt Chen laughed, she was so happy.
At the dinner table, everyone else was also very happy and looked like they were having a great time.
It was at this time that Lu Bo walked in with a middle-aged man.
"Hey, you're eating." Lu Bo pulled out a chair and gave it to the middle-aged man next to him, then spoke in a high-profile manner.
The middle-aged man at the side sat down naturally, glanced at Aunt Chen, and said, "I heard that Xiao Lu returned home in glory, so I had to come and see him."
Aunt Chen smiled and said, "County Governor, since you are here, why don't we have something to eat together?"
The county magistrate hummed and glanced at the dining table. He had expected to see some delicacies from land and sea, lobster, abalone, etc., but when he saw it was just chicken, duck, fish and meat, he immediately lost interest.
"No, the main reason I came here this time is to discuss with Xiao Lu about the renovation of the road at Xianzikou. After all, it is an old road. Most households now have a car, so it's time to renovate it."
The county magistrate shook his head and said.
Lu Ye put down his chopsticks, looked at the county magistrate, then looked at Lu Bo. He knew that Lu Bo was planning to ask the county magistrate to trick him, and it was likely that Lu Bo did not reveal Jiang Zhiwan's identity.
So Lu Ye sneered and said, "This is a good thing. Why did the county magistrate tell me about this?"
"Of course it's a good thing. It's just that the county's finances have been a bit tight recently, and we need someone to donate some money." The county magistrate stretched out his hand and rubbed it.
The meaning is very clear, which is to ask Lu Ye to help pay for the road construction.
Upon hearing this, Aunt Chen was the first to be unhappy, "County Magistrate, what do you mean by this? Xiao Lu is still a college student, do you really want him to donate money?"
"Why? Ye'er has returned home in glory. Since he has the ability, he should naturally seek some benefits for the county. This is what every gentry in the county has done. Why can't Ye'er do it? Could it be that the Rolls-Royce was stolen?"
Lu Bo on the side sneered and spoke.
The county magistrate also nodded and said, "Most of the projects that the county has built to facilitate the public in recent years have relied on donations from fellow villagers who have made achievements outside the county. Everyone is using them for free, so naturally, when they have made achievements, they should donate some to help the county."
What he said seemed to be correct, but in fact there was no need to repair the road at Xianzikou. They just wanted to trick Lu Ye.
This made Aunt Chen so angry that her chest heaved again.
Lu Ye patted Aunt Chen on the back, signaling her to calm down.
"Oh? Then how much money do you think is appropriate, County Magistrate?" Lu Ye said with a smile.
The county magistrate and Lu Bo looked at each other and saw the greed in each other's eyes. "Not much, roughly speaking, eight million is enough."
"Eight million? That's just a broken road, less than a hundred meters long, how can it be worth eight million?" Aunt Chen said in shock.
As a transition section, Xianzikou is indeed not very many meters long. Let alone eight million, one million would be more than enough for renovation, and it would also allow the county magistrate to make a lot of money.
As for eight million, that is definitely an outrageous amount of money.
However, Lu Ye nodded and said, "Okay."
"Hahaha, Xiao Lu is pretty good." The county magistrate didn't expect this matter to go so smoothly. He laughed and regretted at the same time, wishing he had said more earlier.
But Lu Ye suddenly changed the subject, "I remember that I only received one month's minimum living allowance and subsidies, and I don't know where the rest went. So, I will multiply the subsidies I received before by fifty times and donate them to the county. As for the rest, let the people who received the subsidies for me donate them."
As he spoke, Lu Ye looked at Lu Bo who had a guilty look on his face.
