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

Lu Miao stayed in the room and didn't come out.

Minjie and Minrui sat on the threshold playing, only looking in Ma Hongguo's direction without saying a word.

Fu Jingyou was even more straightforward, simply pushing the items back:
"Second Uncle, we're all neighbors, so we'll help each other out if we can. We're not asking for anything from you. Besides, my uncle and aunt just brought over a dozen chickens a couple of days ago. We can't even finish them all at home these days. You should take these back and keep them for Jianshe's wife to help her get some nutrition."

The two chickens that Ma Hongguo brought were not just a simple thank-you gift.

They came to apologize.

Of course, what Fu Jingyou said was not untrue.

However, he knew perfectly well why Ma Hongguo had come.

One reason for refusing to accept the gifts was to prevent their original intention of "helping" from being distorted.

Secondly, they also refused the Ma family's apology.

The matter can be considered closed at this point.

Whether the Ma family appreciates it or not is none of their business, and any talk of apologies or compensation is completely unnecessary.

From now on, everyone should just live their own lives; there won't be any further contact anyway.

His attitude was firm, and Ma Hongguo understood what he meant.

In the darkness, two old hens clucked and flapped their wings. Ma Hongguo sighed.
"Sixth Brother, I'm so sorry for what happened. I'm too ashamed to ask for your forgiveness..."

"Alright, Second Uncle, what's done is done. Go back now! Let Jianshe and his wife live a good life from now on. It won't have been for nothing that my wife and I stirred things up like this."

Ma Hongguo wiped his face and nodded repeatedly.

Finally, carrying the two clucking hens, he reluctantly hunched over and groped his way home in the dark.

Fu Jingyou didn't even glance at him, patting Minjie's sharp head and saying:
"Don't sit there, take your little brother to take a bath first, so that it won't be crowded and there won't be any more fights later."

"Understood, Uncle!"

Minjie took Minrui to the backyard to fetch water for a bath, and Fu Jingyou also took the opportunity to lock the door of the main room.

Lu Miao lit the kerosene lamp inside the room.

When Fu Jingyou went in, Lu Miao said:

"After this is over, we'll have to keep our doors locked for a while."

Fu Jingyou nodded knowingly:
"Ah."

Just as Lu Miao had predicted.

They didn't even have to wait until the second or third day; villagers came knocking on their doors that very night.

They helped the Ma family settle the matter, and while other families in the village in similar situations didn't say anything openly, they also secretly wanted to seek help.

But once is enough for this.

The town and county are not places where Lu Miao has absolute power.

Moreover, the Ma family's affair is enough to teach people a lesson.

Neither Lu Miao nor Fu Jingyou could do it again.

So Fu Jingyou didn't open the door for anyone at all.

He only said from the room window that he had already rested, as he was busy harvesting rice and wouldn't have any free time for the next few days.

Once things calm down a bit, I'll take some time to explain the policy to them in detail and ask them to come back then.

That was the only way they managed to get rid of the person.

For a period of time afterward, the Fu family kept their main gate locked during the day, and those who needed to enter or leave did so through the back door.

It was during this time that He Hongjin kept nagging Lu Miao about being spoiled and pretentious.

She said that the meat that other families couldn't afford was something she didn't like to eat.

But in reality, she took some time out of her busy schedule and went to the lake early in the morning to catch a large handful of tender lotus roots, which she then had Tian Guihua stir-fry to change her palate.

And Hu Zhiyuan.

When I left the Fu family the other day, I heard that Lu Miao was always coughing and had a sore throat. So when he came back later, he brought a lot of dried white fungus from the county.

They say that stewing sweet soup can soothe the throat.

Lu Miao thanked them all and accepted the gifts. Then there was the Ma family.

After Fu Jingyou bluntly rejected him that night, the Ma family came over once.

However, it wasn't Ma Hongguo who came; it was Shuangxi.

Previously, her father-in-law had brought two old hens, but they refused to accept them. Shuangxi guessed that they were a respectable family who knew that it wasn't easy to raise a few chickens in the countryside, so they definitely wouldn't take them.

So when Shuangxi visited the Fu family again, she didn't bring a chicken, but instead brought a large bowl of stewed chicken soup.

Lu Miao originally didn't intend to want it either.

But seeing that she was heavily pregnant and about to give birth in a month or so, she still came over under the blazing sun.

Lu Miao sighed helplessly, then took pity on Tian Guihua and let her take the things.

Lu Miao gave Shuangxi a way out:

"I know what you're thinking. Now we're even. Just live your lives well from now on and don't keep this on your mind all the time."

Shuangxi understood what Lu Miao meant.

Shuangxi stood there for a long time.

When Tian Guihua came out and handed her the bowl, she held her pregnant belly and said "I'm sorry" to Lu Miao again before leaving.

Lu Miao simply smiled faintly at this.

Whether Shuangxi's apology was genuine or he was just trying to gain her sympathy and reassure her, it doesn't matter.

Lu Miao gave it all to her because she was heavily pregnant.

But that's about it.

From now on, bridges will remain bridges, and roads will remain roads.

Those who need to draw clear lines will still do so.

With the Ma family's affairs finally settled, the village officially entered the busy farming season.

When the family started harvesting the early-season rice, Brother He was finally persuaded to borrow an oxcart and take Zhao Lanxiang to the county for medical treatment.

However, the doctors in the county couldn't figure out what the exact problem was.

Based solely on Zhao Lanxiang's symptoms, it's speculated that the problem might be in her brain.

They said the county was technologically backward and lacked relevant medical equipment.

If possible, Brother He should take someone to a major hospital in the city for a check-up to confirm the diagnosis.

However, Brother He was skeptical about this.

Zhao Lanxiang is sick, but she's not stupid.

The doctor said it might be a problem with his brain, but Brother He couldn't understand what that could be.

But once the news reached home, Lu Miao and Fu Jingyou already had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on.

The doctor probably meant that Zhao Lanxiang had something growing in her brain.

Upon closer examination, it does make some sense.

Unless it was a malignant tumor or similar condition, Zhao Lanxiang's health wouldn't have deteriorated so rapidly under normal circumstances...

Considering the immediate situation, Lu Miao suggested that Fu Jingyou take some time to bring Brother He and Zhao Lanxiang to the city hospital for a check-up.

On the one hand, it was said that if Zhao Lanxiang's condition really worsened, Minmin should inform her in advance.

He Hongjin and Chen Guifen had no objections to the former.

However, when it came to Minmin, both Chen Guifen and Tian Guihua expressed their disapproval to varying degrees:

"That child has had a difficult childhood, and now she has finally found a way out. It's such a long journey back from the capital, so let's not bother her with this matter for now."

Lu Miao knew that they were speaking from the perspective of Minmin, who had been abused by Zhao Lanxiang in the past.

But this matter is of utmost importance.

Lu Miao shook his head, his attitude resolute:
"This is no small matter. Whether Minmin is willing to come back and visit is up to her. You shouldn't and can't make that decision for her." (End of Chapter)
