Chapter 153: The reborn of paranoid boss cannon fodder wife
Chapter 153: Let's Talk
A young girl?
A nineteen-year-old young girl???
Bai Lu was truly shocked by Lin Jinfan's description, which was so astonishing and otherworldly that she lowered her head to take a look.
Normal height, normal weight, normal growth and development, no short arms or legs!
Indeed, when a brother looks at his sister, she will always be a forever-young girl.
Xiao Guofu and Li Hongying brought Bai Lu into the encirclement. During the Qingming Festival, Bai Lu and Xiao Cheng returned together to pay respects to their ancestors. Many people recognized Bai Lu, and with the chestnut acquisition matter, everyone willingly made way for her.
As the paths diverged on both sides, men held iron shovels and hoes, while women carried shoulder poles, all with an indignant and determined posture, ready for a fight.
The elderly were protected by the strong ones on both sides. The youth shouting and causing a ruckus in the front couldn't be stopped, persuaded, or appealed to.
Frustrated and anxious.
"You pushed someone!"
"It's you who got pushed. Standing in the front acting like a hero? Look at yourself, know your own weight. Be sensible and quickly make way, or you won't be able to leave with your head held high!"
"Spit! Making way is impossible. If you want to fight or kill, just do it. Spare us the talk!"
"Don't use violence! Don't use violence! Let's talk it out!"
"Make way, everyone! The village chief is here!"
"The village chief brought Bai Lu!"
The large crowd shouting and causing trouble immediately made way.
The young people of the Xiao family, having experienced Xiao Cheng's prowess, knew that Bai Lu being Xiao Cheng's wife, wouldn't be inferior. The hoes and shovels they wielded were immediately set aside.
Only the elderly still looked worried.
Grandpa and Grandma, upon seeing Bai Lu, immediately relaxed their furrowed brows and gave up the central position to her.
With explanations from Xiao Guofu and Li Hongying, it was revealed that Xiao Cheng had already gone to another province. The two elderly were momentarily disappointed but turned their gaze to Bai Lu with relief.
"Daughter-in-law, coming all the way back from afar, you've worked hard."
Bai Lu was immune to Grandma's affectionate address and replied gracefully, "No trouble, I came back by car."
Grandma and Grandpa, at their age, had seen many ups and downs and were sealed off from the outside world for the first time.
Even so, their weathered faces showed no signs of panic, completely ignoring the tense situation with crossbows drawn.
Grandma directly ignored the stern face of Li Chengbin opposite her and explained to Bai Lu in detail, "Early in the morning, these people came over, claiming that we were illegally mining sand and wanted to reclaim the sand in our home. They also wanted to close the mountain, revert the farmland, and reforest it. I haven't read many books, have low education, and don't understand these things, so I let Aifu and Aying go to the town to find you."
"I looked at the notice they brought. I couldn't make much sense of it. You've read more books and have broad knowledge. Can you help Grandma take a look?"
Bai Lu liked Grandma's words: "Sure, I'd like to see what this mountain closure order looks like."
On the way here, Bai Lu saw the bespectacled man standing next to Li Chengbin on the opposite side. He held a folded piece of paper behind him, seeming reluctant to let others see it.
On his chest, there was indeed the symbol of Pingcheng, but the department he worked for was hidden in the lapel of his suit.
Only the name on top was visible: Ding Wuliang.
Upon hearing Bai Lu's words, Ding Wuliang subconsciously glanced at Li Chengbin beside him, "Should I?"
After the shotgun incident last time, Li Chengbin held deep hatred for Bai Lu. He had people investigate Bai Lu's background hundreds of times, but no matter how they looked, Bai Lu seemed like someone who hadn't graduated from high school and didn't understand the law.
But the fact that Bai Lu had caused him great trouble was undeniable.
Understanding the law was also a fact.
Li Chengbin wouldn't underestimate anyone who could disrupt his plans; Bai Lu was no simple person.
Knowing that Xiao Cheng was from the same village, and Bai Lu, together with Bai Lu, had returned to the village during the Qingming Festival, Li Chengbin anticipated that these unruly mountain people might seek help from Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu if something went wrong.
So he had been prepared long ago, with the mountain closure documents, seals, and official personnel, leaving no room for any lapses.
Bai Lu came from a humble background, never leaving the village since childhood. Knowing the law was undoubtedly taught by her teacher.
Knowing the law was already Bai Lu's greatest ability, but Li Chengbin couldn't believe that Bai Lu also understood the ways of the officialdom.
Li Chengbin sneered, waving his hand.
Ding Wuliang immediately handed the notice to Bai Lu.
Bai Lu didn't need to read the contents of the document. She just glanced at the stamped area, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Without asking Li Chengbin or confronting Ding Wuliang, she walked towards the "police comrades" on the side.
"Police comrade, take a look at this notice. Did you get the wrong one?"
The leading "police comrade," who was suddenly asked, hesitated for a moment and instinctively looked at Li Chengbin.
He was just a bodyguard, not a real police comrade, and he didn't understand these things.
Li Chengbin gave him a malicious look.
The "police comrade" immediately understood. "What mistake? It's clearly written in black and white on the paper. The village of Xiao is illegally mining sand, and the chestnut trees on the mountain don't meet Pingcheng's standards. They must be reverted to farmland and reforested. The county office's big red seal is stamped clearly. Can't you see it?"
With this loud retort, the comrade with a police uniform, which didn't match his aura, gained a bit of confidence.
Li Chengbin nodded in satisfaction.
Bai Lu suppressed a cold smile and changed it to a professional fake smile. "So, what does this reversion to farmland and reforestation mean?"
"As far as I know, there is no cultivation of crops on all the mountains in Xiao Village."
The bodyguard comrade thought Bai Lu was deliberately making trouble. "Do you think I'm blind? So many chestnut trees are planted on the mountain, and you still say there is no cultivation of crops!"
White Dew calmly said, "Who said chestnuts are crops?"
Chestnuts are not crops, are they!?
The burly bodyguard comrade was confused and bewildered, looking at Li Chengbin subconsciously.
Li Chengbin, being a city person, had no idea whether chestnuts were considered crops or not. He suspected that Bai Lu was trying to deceive him again.
Wearing a stern face and remaining silent, he urgently thought about how to handle any possible changes.
Unable to get an answer, the bodyguard comrade, being stared at by Bai Lu, had to speak up, "If chestnuts are not crops, then what are they? What evidence do you have to prove that chestnuts are not crops?"
Bai Lu calmly and unhurriedly retorted, "Why ask me for evidence? Hasn't the country already provided it?"
"Standards set by the country's agricultural administrative authorities and the Crop Variety Approval Committee classify chestnuts as fruit crops. Chestnut trees are categorized as economic crops. Tell me, where did you see that chestnuts are considered crops?"
"And which department's relevant regulations have issued the mountain closure order against Xiao Village's chestnut mountain for violating the standards of cultivating crops, requiring reversion to farmland and reforestation?"
The bodyguard comrade was directly dumbfounded by Bai Lu's questioning, knowing nothing and unable to speak.
The villagers of Xiao had always treated chestnuts as staple food and were unaware that, in the standards for determining crops, chestnuts were only classified as fruit crops, not staple crops.
Bai Lu's words immediately boosted their confidence.
"Yes! Chestnuts are not staple crops. Why should we revert to farmland and reforest!"
