"I don't care what you offer in exchange, anyway, if there is an empty house, you have to move out. If you don't move out, it means you have bad intentions towards her."
Lu Ming faced Cui Boxiao with a pale face, his eyes were as sharp as knives, wishing that every knife could cut into his bones.
Cui Boxiao didn't take him seriously. He snorted coldly and said, "What's your relationship with her? Whether you can live in her house or not is not up to you. It's her decision. You have no right to control me, let alone her."
Cui Boxiao was right. Lu Ming was indeed not qualified, and he was not related to Liu Qiaoer. However, Lu Ming just felt uncomfortable.
"I am not qualified? I am responsible for all residents under my jurisdiction, and Liu Mei is also a resident under my jurisdiction."
There is nothing wrong with saying this. Although they are both men, Cui Boyao heard something else.
He raised his eyebrows: "So, you are responsible for everyone, then I am also a resident here, you have to be responsible for me. I don't want to move away, can you force me, huh, comrade police officer, you know better than anyone whether you really care about the people or are selfish."
Lu Ming was so angry that his face turned blue: "You, what do you mean?"
Cui Boxiao leaned close to Lu Ming's ear and said, "It's nothing. I just want to tell you, Liu Mei, I'm determined to pursue you. If you want to compete fairly, you're welcome. But if you dare to do something behind my back, don't blame me for showing mercy."
Lu Ming opened his eyes wide in shock. He was very slow to react to feelings. He didn't expect that before he could figure out his own thoughts, Cui Boxiao was going to pursue Liu Mei.
Seeing that the two were about to get into a fight, Village Chief Wang hurried over to mediate. Liu Qiaoer felt that something was not right between the two and also shouted.
"Cui Boxiao, come and help."
Cui Boxiao raised an eyebrow at Lu Ming and went to Liu Qiaoer to help distribute supplies.
Lu Ming felt like mad at this moment, but he was wearing a military uniform, so it was not a good idea for him to really fight with Cui Boxiao.
Just when Lu Ming and his men had finished unloading their supplies and were preparing to leave, suddenly, a small vehicle from their unit drove over.
The driver got out of the car and shouted, "Is Wang Tieshan from your village?"
Wang Tieshan? Liu Qiaoer's heart skipped a beat and she paused. Grandma Liu Mei's ex-husband's surname was Wang, and his name was indeed Wang Tieshan.
The driver shouted a few times, but the ones who came to help were all young people. The older people were either at home or had passed away, and no one even knew their names.
Only Village Chief Wang thought for a long time and said, "It seems so. You have to meet the person in person, otherwise you won't recognize him."
The driver nodded and waved to the passenger seat, who got out as well. He opened the back door and helped a man out. He had an untidy beard and some leg problems.
Village Chief Wang stared at him for a long time before nodding: "It seems to be from our village, that Liu Mei. Liu Mei, come and take a look. Is this man your man?"
Liu Qiaoer walked over with a sullen face. To be honest, she had only met the man named Wang a few times, and now he had an untidy beard, so she couldn't remember clearly.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a young woman got out of the car, holding a child in her arms, and stared at Liu Qiaoer with big eyes full of hostility.
Everyone was confused, and Village Chief Wang asked, "Who is she?"
Then, an old woman came down from another door of the car. They all knew this woman. She was Liu Mei’s former mother-in-law and also an elder in the village.
As soon as she saw Liu Mei, she started to curse: "You are such a heartless person. You abandoned us all to the city and left us alone while you were lazing around in the countryside. Why don't you come and help your man back home?"
Liu Qiaoer felt speechless. The natural disaster had been going on for almost half a year, so how come they hadn't been frozen to death
The old ones are alive and well, and the young ones are alive and well too.
Liu Qiaoer folded her arms and was about to tell everyone that she had divorced Wang Tieshan.
Unexpectedly, Lu Ming came over and held the crazy woman's hand with his big hand: "Auntie Wang, you said your hometown is in Wangjia Village, we brought it to you, isn't she your daughter-in-law, what's wrong with Liu Mei?"
The crazy woman smiled proudly: "Comrade Lu, Liu Mei is my former daughter-in-law, there is no conflict, and the place where she lives now is my home, so what? I can go back to my own home, can't I?"
Liu Qiaoer was so angry that her heart ached: "Have you forgotten that Wang Tieshan and I are divorced? Besides, you have already sold that yard to me. You still want to live in my yard? No way."
The crazy woman ignored Liu Qiaoer completely. When she saw Village Chief Wang, she grabbed his hand and started crying.
"I'm finally back home. You don't know, there's nothing to do in the city when it rains. We haven't been out for three months. We're starving."
Village Chief Wang was confused and didn't know what to say.
Liu Qiaoer glanced at the woman and child beside Wang Tieshan: "This must be Wang Tieshan's new wife and his son."
The crazy woman was crying so hard that Village Chief Wang didn't know how to comfort her. He looked at Wang Tieshan and frowned: "What's going on? Why don't you say something?"
Wang Tieshan took two steps forward with his cane: "Give me a place to stay and something to eat."
Village Chief Wang looked at Liu Qiaoer, and Liu Qiaoer raised her chin: "Village Chief, let me tell you the truth. I have divorced Wang Tieshan, and I exchanged this yard for the house in the city."
"When they kicked me out of that house in the city and I had nowhere to go, none of them felt sorry for me. Now that yard is not theirs, you can't just give them a place to live, except my house."
Village Chief Wang hadn't said anything yet when the crazy woman said, "What do you mean your house? They all belong to our Tieshan. The one in the city and the one at home all belong to our Tieshan. You have nothing... You can't even have a child, you don't deserve to live in a house."
The crazy woman grabbed Lu Ming again and said, "Comrade Lu, please judge for yourself. She is my daughter-in-law. Shouldn't we leave the yard to live in..."
Lu Ming was also confused. He seemed to have realized that his good intentions had led to bad results.
Cui Boxiao grabbed Lu Ming and asked, "What on earth is going on?"
Lu Ming stammered, "In the refugee camp, I just said that I used to live in Liu Mei's house and had access to food and a bath. She heard it and said she was Liu Mei's mother. I thought she was her biological mother, so I told her about Liu Mei's home."
I didn't expect it was just my mother-in-law, and a divorced one at that.
Now the crazy woman is coveting Liu Mei's yard, and Lu Ming feels very regretful.
Cui Boxiao was so angry that he wanted to punch him in the face: "You didn't even ask clearly, but you just said everything, you are such a fool..."
Liu Qiaoer stepped forward and pulled Cui Boxiao away. Although she was also very angry, she was still relatively calm.
"Village head, they are a family. I have divorced Wang Tieshan. I bought the yard with my own money. I had already registered the household registration in my own name. Now is a time of crisis. We could have helped each other."
"But as for them, I'm sorry, I don't want to help. There are also extra courtyards in the village. Please ask the village chief to arrange for them to live somewhere else."
