A soft-waisted educated youth has sex with a loyal dog and a rough guy in the 1960s

Chapter 1262 Fairness
"Comrade Li, please have a seat."

"Hey, hey!"

Tian Guihua brought over a clean tea mug, and Lu Miao personally brewed the tea for her.

She invited Li Dachui to sit down, but Li Dachui only responded and did not dare to actually sit down.

Lu Miao wore a white shirt and a black long skirt. Although she had a quiet, scholarly air about her, there was an indescribable charm about her.

She exuded a quiet yet authoritative aura that commanded respect.

Given his special status as a returned native, Li Dachui inevitably felt constrained.

Only after Lu Miao put down the thermos and sat down did he place the bag of apples beside his lap and then sit down opposite her at the small table.

Lu Miao calmly and gently pushed the brewed tea along the table towards Li Dachui:
"I brought this tea back from Beijing. I don't know if it's sold in the countryside. Try it."

"Hey!"

Li Dachui chuckled dryly and nodded, then picked up his teacup and blew on it.

When it comes to tea tasting, Li Dachui is clueless.

But his reaction was pure.

After blowing on the tea leaves to loosen them, Li Dachui reluctantly took a small sip, enduring the heat, and immediately exclaimed in surprise:

"This tea smells wonderful!"

There are tea mountains in the village. Every year around Grain Rain, young women and wives from all the families would go to the tea mountains to pick tea.

Li Dachui had also drunk tea in the past.

But this was the first time he had ever seen tea with such a fragrance.

Li Dachui became less reserved, picked up the teacup with a curious look, blew on it, and drank several mouthfuls despite the heat.

Lu Miao saw this and couldn't help but smile faintly.

Character is revealed in the details.

Speak only of your immediate impressions, instead of flattering others or giving lengthy, effusive praises of how wonderful the tea is.

From a preliminary look, it's clear that this person is likely an honest and kind-hearted individual.

Lu Miao smiled faintly and took the initiative to say:
"Thank you for making this trip today..."

Li Dachui put down his teacup and waved his hand, seemingly wanting to say something, but Lu Miao didn't give him a chance to speak, and continued to laugh:
"However, things always have to come to an end. This is the current process, and I wonder if Li Tongzhi would be willing to listen to me for a moment?"

When Li Dachui heard her get down to business, he immediately sat up straight.

He clasped his hands together, propped his elbows on the table, suppressed his earlier curiosity about the tea, and nodded solemnly:

"You say."

Lu Miao took a sip of tea and smiled calmly:
"The government will only issue relevant policies based on the actual situation. There is no problem with you following the rules and regulations. However, there is sometimes a need for flexibility during work hours, and many situations cannot be generalized."

"Let's not even talk about how pitiful the child is. Everyone knows that childbirth is like stepping into the gates of hell for a woman. By eight months, the fetus's bones are already fully formed. If you force it at this point..."

Lu Miao didn't finish his sentence directly, but instead put down his teacup and said in a roundabout tone:

"We must always consider the safety of the adults."

"...Yes, you are right."

Li Dachui understood what she meant and knew that what she said made sense, but he was also in a dilemma.

This matter can either be resolved now, or the fine can be paid later.

Let alone whether the Ma family can afford the fine, it's several hundred or even a thousand yuan. Looking around, who in the village can afford such a fine?

If this task is not carried out properly, they will not be able to deliver on their promise.

Li Dachui frowned, looking troubled. Lu Miao noticed his predicament, smiled, and spoke again:

"Don't put so much pressure on yourself about this. I know about the Ma family's situation. Although they already have one child, it's a girl, and she's over three years old, so they meet the requirements for having a second child. When I learned about this, I had them apply for a second birth, and it's expected to be approved in the next couple of days..."

Li Dachui paused, then realized what he meant and quickly asked:
"really?"

Seeing that his attitude had softened, Lu Miao nodded slightly and said:

"Rules have rigidity, but reality also needs flexibility. If you're willing to give them this opportunity, you might as well come back to verify in a couple of days. Few people in the village are literate, and even fewer have the opportunity to access policy information. They didn't know they could apply before, and although they've used some connections to get the application done, we certainly can't make things difficult for you, cough cough..."

Having said too much at once, Lu Miao coughed twice, panting.

He patted his chest to calm himself, then continued:
“They can’t come up with the money, but they still have some grain. Let them keep enough to last until next season’s harvest, and hand over the rest. It’s both a punishment and a way to support your work. What do you think?”

"This……"

Li Dachui turned his gaze to the side, but soon turned back to look at Lu Miao.

Lu Miao had a strong backing, and Li Dachui had already prepared himself mentally before coming.

His overtures to Lu Miao were genuine, and so was his fear of offending her.

He was genuinely afraid that Lu Miao would put pressure on him regarding the Ma family matter.

It seems that Li Dachui can now put his mind at ease.

Knowing that although Lu Miao had been involved, she had only acted as a mediator in this matter, Li Dachui relaxed a bit and told her the truth:

"As long as they meet the requirements and have the necessary documents, then it's not considered a violation! It's just that this matter..."

Li Dachui hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Lu Miao nodded slightly to indicate his presence before continuing:
“As you said, if they get the documents, they are issued later, which may be because of your connections. This is somewhat unfair to other people in the same situation in the village.”

Lu Miao nodded.

This is true.

That's why when she communicated with the Ma family last night, she adopted the attitude that no matter what, she had to make the Ma family bleed a lot of money.

However, Li Dachui did not agree with her suggestion to impose a fine based on grain.

During their conversation, Lu Miao sensed the underlying meaning and handed the initiative over:

"So, in your opinion, how should this matter be handled?"

Just like Lu Miao, who remained calm and composed, he never put pressure on anyone or made things difficult for them.

Li Dachui was grateful for this and naturally wouldn't make things difficult for her.

Li Dachui said:

"It's not enough to just tell you how to handle this. They're all here right now, so why don't we have them come over and listen together?"

Fu Jingyou moved a small stool and sat in the passageway between the two doors of the main room and the kitchen.

Upon hearing this, he looked at Lu Miao.

After Lu Miao nodded, he went to call Shuangxi and his wife.

The Ma family knew the inspection team was coming today, and they knew they would definitely be looking for them.

So even though they were afraid of confronting these people, Shuangxi and Ma Jianshe still came to the Fu family's house when they returned from the county.

The couple and their child stood in the kitchen. Li Dachui straightened his back and immediately resumed his official demeanor.

Lu Miao knew that he wanted to establish his authority so that it would be easier for him to act in the village in the future.

Therefore, not only did they not expose him, but they also treated him with ample politeness and respect in front of others, only smiling gently at Shuangxi and his wife:
"Captain Li already has a plan for your situation. He called you here to listen to it together, so there's no need to be nervous."

Shuangxi and Ma Jianshe exchanged a glance and nodded hastily.
