Wen Li became interested. "What are you planning to do?"

Lu Zechuan's brows were sharp, and his eyes held an indescribable coldness.

"Lu Aiguo's new wife's surname is Shen. The Shen family originally came from a servant family. Later, during the Landlord Poker competition, they gained a lot of benefits by reporting their master and even settled down in Beijing. Shen Ju is quite beautiful and caught Lu Aiguo's eye. It can be said that when one person achieves success, even their chickens and dogs rise to heaven!"

Lu Zechuan paused for a moment and then continued:

"Shen Ju has seen the underworld in the deep mansions and has some skills, but in the end, she is shallow and short-sighted."

Wen Li quickly understood Lu Zechuan's meaning; the Shen family was probably up to no good.

"You want to start with the Shen family?"

"Yes, Shen Ju's two younger brothers are lazy spendthrifts. Only her eldest brother and father have jobs. The whole family, more than a dozen people, live together and haven't separated yet!"

"Only two people in the family work, yet they live a more comfortable life than anyone else and never lack money!"

"Although Lu Aiguo's abilities are mediocre, he was strictly taught by my grandfather from a young age and knows the importance of things. He would never do anything against the rules. Even with Lu Aiguo's help, the Shen family could never live such a life!"

"You mean the Shen family is using Lu's name to amass wealth outside?" Wen Li almost misspoke, then quickly corrected herself, "...in Lu's name?"

"Yes, I've been gathering dirt on the Shen family all these years, but I haven't taken action because of my grandfather's influence. I originally planned to go back to Beijing and use this dirt to threaten them, but who knew he would pull this stunt? So I don't need to hesitate any longer!"

Wen Li sighed inwardly, realizing that Lu Zechuan had started planning this long ago.

Compared to him, I really am just a little karami.

This matter is of great importance. If the evidence is submitted, Lu Aiguo will be implicated even if he has not done anything wrong. If the circumstances are serious, he may even be discharged from the military.

Lu Aiguo is finished!

Will your grandfather agree? Will it affect you?

"He's trying to ruin me anyway, and my grandfather won't let him do something stupid. Rather than letting him hold me back, it's better for him to be an ordinary person. Then he'll still have to rely on me for a living, and he won't dare to cause trouble!"

Lu Aiguo's salary over the years has been in Shen Ju's hands, and Shen Ju is wholeheartedly considering her family's interests.

Having spent a considerable amount of money on his wife's family, Lu Aiguo probably doesn't even have a thousand yuan left.

Once she loses her job, given Shen Ju's habits, she'll probably squander all her money in less than a year, and then the three of them will have to rely on Lu Zechuan!

That's a brilliant move, a much more ruthless method than Wen Li's report.

At most, the report would result in Lu Aiguo being criticized, and even if the circumstances were serious, he would only be demoted. Wen Li couldn't help but give Lu Zechuan a thumbs up.

"I heard you have a younger brother?"

Mentioning his younger brother, Lu Zechuan's eyes remained completely unmoved. "Yeah, that kid's fifteen this year, spoiled rotten, a complete spoiled brat!"

Wen Li could tell that Lu Zechuan had no feelings for his half-brother. Indeed, judging from Shen Ju's attitude towards Lu Zechuan, the two brothers did not have a good relationship.

However, Lu Zechuan's trip reassured her that no matter how much trouble Lu Aiguo caused, it wouldn't affect Lu Zechuan or herself.

In the afternoon, Lu Zechuan led Su Hao and the others to the deep mountains to collect a lot of firewood.

The eaves of the house were already piled high with pears.

Zhou Yu also moved his things to Lu Zechuan's original room.

Lu Zechuan also helped tidy up Xu Yuan's room. Xiao Liang discussed it with Lu Zechuan and then moved into Xu Yuan's room.

Qi Jun tidied up his room.

"Comrade Lu, you can stay in my room next time you come back. I've already packed your things!"

Lu Zechuan patted Qi Jun on the shoulder. "Thanks!"

"What are you saying!"

As soon as Niu Zhaodi finished work, she rushed to the backyard. "Qi, when are the new educated youths arriving?"

"Remember to clean up the front rooms in three days, so the new educated youth won't have nowhere to stay when they arrive!"

"Fine!" Niu Zhaodi said reluctantly.

Seeing that it was getting late, Lu Zechuan packed the fruit with Wen Li and prepared to return to the mountain.

Wenli packed some canned food and snacks for her as well.

"Alright, I don't really like eating this stuff, you can keep it for yourself!"

"If you're hungry, eat something. You have a lot of work to do; you can't manage without eating."

Lu Zechuan's smile never faded. "You won't go hungry. Our food is better than you imagine!"

Wen Li's hands didn't stop stuffing things in. "Take these with you too. It takes you several hours to get out of the mountains, and it's not convenient for you to travel. It's better to be prepared!"

"Alright, alright, I'll do whatever you say!"

He can only go into the mountains on foot, and it's deep in the mountains, so it takes about three hours to walk. He can eat along the way.

"It's getting late, and it'll be dark if we delay any longer, so I'm going back now!"

"Okay, I'll take you to the foot of the mountain!"

Let's go!

After leaving the educated youth compound, Wen Li and Lu Zechuan walked down the mountain together.

As they approached the foot of the mountain, Wen Li saw a girl wearing a yellow dress running towards them, followed by Jiang Lao Er.

Wen Li raised an eyebrow. "It's Jiang Mingzhu and Jiang Lao Er!"

Lu Zechuan's smile vanished. "Don't worry about these unimportant people. I'm going up the mountain now!"

Wen Li looked deeply at Lu Zechuan, her eyes filled with reluctance. "Okay, be careful!"

Lu Zechuan ignored the people running towards him from afar and strode towards the mountain. He knew perfectly well what Jiang Mingzhu was up to.

He used to think that Jiang Mingzhu was also acting against her will, and he didn't want to involve innocent people. But the fact that Jiang Mingzhu returned to the village alone proved that she herself had agreed to it.

Knowing that someone already has a partner, yet still getting involved, that kind of person isn't a good person!

"Comrade Lu, wait a minute, I have something to say!"

Seeing Lu Zechuan walk away, Jiang Mingzhu disregarded everything else and shouted at him.

It's also my sister-in-law's fault. She left her at the commune for a day, and as soon as she returned, she heard that Lu Zechuan had gone down the mountain.

She found out last night that Lu Zechuan had a mission in the deep mountains and did not allow unimportant people to enter the mountains, only occasionally coming down to see Wen Li.

She originally thought she would have to wait several days to see Lu Zechuan, but he came down the mountain the next day.

This is fate. She had seen Lu Zechuan's photo before she came. She was a little reluctant at first, but after seeing the photo, she no longer hesitated.

Since it was going to be a marriage alliance anyway, and Lu Zechuan was outstanding and handsome, she was more than willing to marry such a person.

Before she could even get dressed, she heard that Lu Zechuan was leaving, so she had to rush out of the house.

Fortunately, it wasn't too late; Lu Zechuan hadn't gone far.

Seeing how anxious Jiang Mingzhu was, Jiang Lao Er also started shouting.

Lu Zechuan frowned. He had originally not planned to pay any attention to Jiang Mingzhu, but now it seemed that if he didn't make things clear, he might be entangled with her.

That's fine. Taking a few minutes to explain things clearly will hopefully make her back down.
