บท 20: What's The Use Of Affection?
บรรณาธิการ: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Since the village chief went to Lu Sheng's house, the news that he was going to be an official immediately spread throughout the village.
Cui Hong went home in a huff and told Lu Qiang about the general situation.
Lu Qiang walked to the phone booth at the village entrance and called his eldest brother, Lu Sen.
Lu Sen worked as a police officer in the town and was the most capable person in the Lu family.
Originally, after Lu Sheng fell ill, it wasn't Lu Qiang's turn to take over.
But Lu Sen passed on the message, and Lu Qiang smoothly took his current position.
Now that Lu Sheng was going to be an official, Lu Qiang naturally had to ask his brother what was going on.
"Brother! Lu Sheng is going to be an official in the village!" Lu Qiang picked up the phone and said loudly.
Seeing a few people passing by, Lu Qiang hurriedly lowered his voice.
When Lu Sen heard Lu Qiang's words, he was also surprised. "I haven't heard of that? What official?"
"I heard that he's some development commissioner!" Lu Qiang gritted his teeth and said.
"Didn't they say that all the officials in the village were sent by the higher-ups? This Lu Sheng doesn't have any connections with the higher-ups. Why..." the more Lu Qiang spoke, the more agitated he became.
Lu Sen said coldly, "Don't worry, I'll go and ask."
Lu Sen cut off the call, and Lu Qiang also hung up the phone.
Back at home, Lu Qiang heard Zheng Shu's words before he even entered the courtyard.
"Your man can't do it! Even Lu Sheng can't handle it!" Zheng Shu said as she picked the fur on the pork.
Cui Hong held a plate of melon seeds and munched on it. "I wonder what kind of luck this Lu Sheng had!"
"Ever since he woke up, everything seems to have changed!" Cui Hong spat twice and spat out a broken melon seed.
"In my opinion, you still have to urge Lu Qiang a little. Don't let his factory manager position be snatched back by Lu Sheng one day!" Zheng Shu warned repeatedly.
"Don't worry! Lu Qiang won't!" Cui Hong smiled. "He really wants this position!"
"How much he had to pay for this position!" Cui Hong picked up the melon seed and stuffed it into her mouth again.
"Didn't I say it! This Lu Sheng is really evil!" Zheng Shu stared at a piece of pig hair and pulled it hard, but it didn't move.
She gathered all her strength and said through gritted teeth, "If it were up to me, Lu Qiang still doesn't have the ability. Otherwise, if his position was secure, we wouldn't have to worry."
"I saw that the factory said a few days ago that they would reorganize. He has been very busy these two days." Zheng Shu pulled down the pig hair with great difficulty and wiped it on the rag next to her with satisfaction.
"Hey, mom, can't you buy some good meat to eat!" Cui Hong looked at the piece of pork with obvious purple spots unhappily.
"What's wrong with this meat?" Zheng Shu snorted unhappily. "You don't know how expensive rice and firewood are without being in charge!"
"Lu Qiang also gives you a lot of money every month. You can't keep it all to save your own money!" Cui Hong grumbled unhappily.
"Silly child! I'm doing this for your own good!" Zheng Shu was still plucking the pig hair seriously.
"Don't make me laugh to death! You're obviously doing this for your precious son!" Cui Hong sneered.
"Hey! You heartless little thing!" Zheng Shu heard that and stood up abruptly, slapping Cui Hong's face.
"Humph!" Lu Qiang walked in from the door and shouted coldly.
Zheng Shu was startled and quickly withdrew her hand.
Cui Hong also rushed forward and said with a smile, "You're back!"
Lu Qiang lowered his head and glanced at the pork in Zheng Shu's hand.
Zheng Shu quickly went forward to block the pork and said with a smile, "Tonight's meal, I'm preparing it right now!"
Lu Qiang snorted and didn't want to pay attention to them.
He had more important things to do now, so he didn't have the time to pay attention to this kind of women's matters!
However, no wonder he always felt that the food at home was especially terrible.
It turned out that it was his mother-in-law's doing!
Just wait!
After he settled Lu Sheng's matter, he would have to settle this woman properly!
As Lu Qiang thought, a ruthless light flashed in his eyes.
Seeing that Lu Qiang had finally entered the house, Zheng Shu let out a deep breath.
Cui Hong sat back in her chair resentfully and continued to munch on her melon seeds.
Lu Qiang and Cui Hong were a typical arranged marriage.
The two of them didn't have much affection, but they could still get by.
Everyone had their own needs. As long as they could satisfy their own needs, that was enough.
For Lu Qiang, what he was looking for was a woman who was comparable to Zhang Yue.
He definitely couldn't lose to Lu Sheng in this aspect!
And Cui Hong was naturally looking for a stable life.
Although when she married Lu Qiang, he was just a follower by Lu Sheng's side.
But at least his job was stable and he could coax people.
As for feelings...
It was really meaningless!
