Chapter 128: Savage Villagers' Talk
Lin Zhier was finally satisfied and deliberately said loudly, "Lu Zhi, if you cover your face like this, no one will recognize you. Why don't you take off the mask?"
Lu Zhi took off the mask a little, revealing his mouth and nose.
The relatives watching were dumbfounded: "What? Is this that unlucky Lu Zhi?"
“It doesn’t look like…”
"Why does she feel much prettier than Zhi'er next to her?"
"Don't say it, it's true."
Lin Zhier's face turned green instantly.
Lu Zhi sneered: "Look, you wouldn't be happy if I really picked it."
The last people to get off the bus were Lin Rongping and his wife.
The relatives then turned their attention back and gave another round of enthusiastic welcome.
Everyone was escorted to the village.
There were flatterers all along the way.
"Mr. Lin, you're finally back! Thanks to you, the roads in our village have been repaired over the years."
"Yes, thanks to the university student aid station you built for us, Mr. Lin, and the help you gave us to sell ointments online, we are now able to make so much money and live a better life!"
"Mr. Lin is obviously a blessed man. Anyone who gets close to him will get rich!"
"Isn't it? Mr. Lin, your family are all kind-hearted people. Our whole village is grateful to you."
Lu Zhi followed quietly behind, with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
The sponsor of this village back then was her mother, and the money was also paid by her mother.
At that time, Lin Rongping was still working as a househusband in the Lu family.
Originally, her mother wanted to give Lin Rongping a surprise and tell him after the village was built.
Who knew that when Lin Rongqing found out by accident, her self-esteem exploded and she started arguing with her mother.
That quarrel was the most serious one between his parents that Lu Zhi could remember.
"Lu Yu, if you despise me, just say so. Why do you do these things to humiliate me?"
"Do you know that your righteous appearance is really disgusting?"
"Don't you just look down on my background? Do you think that by renovating the village you can fool yourself into thinking you've married someone from a well-off family? I'm telling you, it's impossible!"
"You just married a villager! I'm just a farmer, a country bumpkin! What's wrong? If you can't accept reality, you shouldn't have messed with me in the first place!"
"Do you think I will be grateful to you? Lu Yu, you only make me feel sick!"
Lu Zhi came back to his senses.
Lin Rongping was unwilling to acknowledge this place back then.
But after his mother's death, he took control of the Lu Group, had money and confidence, and began to accept his own background.
So, it was natural for him to take the credit for his mother's work.
The village chief and others in front were still flattering Lin Rongping.
Lin Rongping smiled and waved his hands: "In fact, if my ex-wife hadn't stopped us, perhaps our village could have developed for another ten years."
The village chief and everyone else nodded as well.
"Isn't it? You simply married the wrong person. That city girl is petty and looks down on us. She has no taste and has wasted all your time. Look how well you and Haiyun are living now. You are a harmonious couple, the envy of others."
Chen Haiyun is also from this village, and she and Lin Rongping are childhood sweethearts.
It’s a pity that her mother didn’t know about it at the time, otherwise she probably wouldn’t have told them to invite Chen Haiyun to her home as a nanny.
Because of Lin Rongping's slander, people in the village don't like her mother Lu Yu very much.
She felt that it was her mother who delayed Lin Rongping's entrepreneurship, and it was she who prevented Lin Rongping from funding the village. Otherwise, the village would have developed long ago.
Moreover, these villagers are also opportunistic. They probably can see that expressing dissatisfaction with Lu Yu can make Lin Rongping happy, so everyone cares less.
Even Lu Zhi was not liked.
When she was brought back by Lin Rongping last year, the villagers poured a basin of black dog blood at her feet, saying it was to get rid of bad luck.
I don’t know what will happen this year.
Lu Zhi walked last and sent a message to Ke Zhijie: [Have you given all the instructions?]
Ke Zhijie: [Don't worry! It's fine!]
Lu Zhi was satisfied and caught up with the main force.
As a result, he was stopped at the door of Lin's house.
Lin Rongping looked at the village chief who was stopping the people and asked knowingly: "What is this?"
The village chief said with a smile, "Mr. Lin, your house is a noble one with excellent feng shui. You can't let an unlucky person desecrate it."
Lin Zhier gloated, "Then let her stand at the door?"
The village chief laughed again, "That's not necessary! We've got everything ready for Boss Lin. All we have to do is pour some black dog blood on her head, make her kneel across the fire basin, kowtow three times to the gate, and recite a bunch of self-deprecating words. That will push the bad energy out of her to the ground, and then let your noble energy crush it underfoot, and that'll break her!"
Lin Rongping smiled kindly: "I don't believe in these things."
But the body didn't have any intention of stopping them.
The villagers naturally understood and tried even harder to stop Lu Zhi from entering the house.
The north wind is howling in this cold winter.
Lin Rongping and others had already entered the yard one after another. They turned their heads and watched the villagers tormenting Lu Zhi with smiles, as if they were watching a joke.
Only then did Lin Rongping regain some confidence.
People are like this. No matter how good they are as a grandson outside, once they return to their hometown, see familiar smiling faces and familiar villagers, and are flattered, they immediately forget their own weight.
He made Lu Zhi kneel over the fire basin and kowtow to Lin Rongping. He deliberately belittled her in every way, making her lower her posture in front of the whole village and satisfying his vanity and arrogance as an elder.
Lin Rongping felt that Lu Zhi, a junior, didn't understand these things, so he just smiled and joked: "Forget it, Zhizhi, the villagers are just joking, just cooperate."
Are you joking?
Lu Zhi didn't move.
The village chief thought she agreed.
After all, she was not in any way to blame last year.
Whispers were already ringing around: "Indeed, I almost forgot, how come this unlucky star has followed us back?"
"Boss Lin is indeed merciful. If it were me, I would have kicked him out long ago."
"What kind of thing is this? It's so unlucky to run into such a jinx."
"Hurry up and jump over the fire basin. It looks unlucky. Even if you wrap yourself up tightly, you can't hide the paleness of her face. It's so unlucky."
Lu Zhi looked at these people calmly.
Silence only emboldens these people.
They had already thrown black dog blood on this little girl last year.
Wasn't she the same last year as she is now, silent and taciturn, unable to say a word after a long time of talking, a complete coward.
Some villagers instigated the movement and called on people to kill fresh bloody animals in full swing.
A basin of hot black dog blood was brought up and poured towards Lu Zhi.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Zhi suddenly pulled Lin Zhier and Lin Rongping behind him to stand in front.
With a loud "splash", Lin Zhier and Lin Rongping were splashed from head to toe, their faces all blood red.
"Ah!" Lin Zhier screamed subconsciously, and a liquid with an irony taste flowed into her mouth.
She was so scared that she quickly closed her mouth and tears burst out on the spot.
