Chapter 443 Bet

Old Hu didn't agree; instead, he glared at him and asked, "Is this what it means to be rich and powerful?"

Lu Qiaoge smiled and said, "I think so!"

Money makes things easier.

Since Lao Hu agreed, Lu Qiaoge made a phone call and the infrastructure team's support arrived.

Because infrastructure construction needs to begin in the spring, preparations had already been made in advance, not to mention that Lu Qiaoge had already transferred the funds. In addition, the military industry itself has its own reserves, so needing some cement and sand is not a problem.

Several people were also sent from above to provide guidance.

Although we can't communicate by phone now, the message can still be conveyed very quickly.

By the afternoon, the participants were organized, totaling over a hundred people. Lu Qiaoge divided them into twenty groups, each led by a member of the neighborhood committee.

It's worth mentioning that the current neighborhood committee of the military factory is an organization belonging to the resident group type under the subdistrict office.

There is now a group leader and two or three committee members, all of whom are elected by the residents.

The responsibilities and obligations of the group leader and members are definitely different. However, since it is the first year of receiving benefits, we cannot show favoritism to the other group members, which could cause resentment among them.

So after the two directors of the subdistrict office held a meeting, they brought together the members of the health center and the public security office and assigned them according to their duties.

Like Aunt Wang, the group leader, she works tirelessly through wind and rain, braving snow and freezing cold. She carries out the tasks assigned by the neighborhood office without any compromise. Sometimes, when other group members are lazy and don't work, such as shoveling snow, cleaning, or cleaning the stairwells to promote policies, Aunt Wang will do all the work by herself.

If things are like this, and when it comes to distributing benefits, he has to get the same amount as Aunt Wang, then Aunt Wang will feel resentful, and it's not fair to her either.

The investigation had been completed beforehand, and the distribution was based on actual work done. Therefore, these team members had no complaints and regretted their shirking of responsibility. They had already vowed to work hard and receive more benefits next year.

Therefore, they all enthusiastically participated in such activities, conducting door-to-door surveys.

This is a good thing for every household.

Some even repaired the drafty windows inside the house.

If someone's heating isn't working properly, they'll get it repaired.

The main goal is to ensure that all residents have a warm and happy Spring Festival.

Then, during the investigation, they naturally went to Qu Caifeng's house.

It's worth mentioning that when Cheng Wen came back that night, before Lin Xiaomin could tell him about the crack in the wall, he secretly told her about the note that had suddenly appeared and disappeared.

This startled Lin Xiaomin, but she was truly relieved. Luckily, she had that little note; otherwise, Cheng Wen would have been tricked.

If it were truly voluntary and willing, she would have nothing to say and would gladly offer it up.

But how humiliating would it be to be outmaneuvered?
So she took Cheng Wen to see the crack, and then told Cheng Wen everything that Qu Caifeng had said to her.

Cheng Wen's face turned red and white in turns. It's true that even living away from home couldn't stop that vicious woman from sowing discord.

Fortunately, his wife didn't believe him. If she had, and they had made a scene, Qu Caifeng would have gone back on her word and said she had never said it.

The only ones who are shameful are the two of them.

The wallpaper here has all been torn down.

Cheng Wen carefully filled the cracks with cement and sand himself.

Cheng's mother also saw this scene and seemed to understand something. Her expression was not good at the time, but she didn't say anything. Although she hadn't given up, she didn't mention it again.

Cheng Wen now knows that he can't argue with his mother at this critical juncture, otherwise he'll completely push her to Qu Caifeng's side.

He and his wife discussed it and decided that no matter what happens in the future, they must not let outside forces destroy their family now.

That evening, the two of them told Cheng's mother: give them another three years. If it can be cured, then there's no need to say anything more. If it still can't be cured, then the two of them will get a divorce.

Let's part ways amicably and wish each other well.

Moreover, even three years later, they would only be twenty-nine years old.

At this point, Cheng's mother had no choice but to agree, otherwise her son would hate her.

Then the investigation team also found cracks in Qu Caifeng's house. They reported it immediately, saying that the cracks in her house were particularly large and posed a safety hazard.

Because in some places, Qu Caifeng enlarged the area with a screwdriver.

Of course, apart from Lu Qiaoge who knew the inside story, no one would think that Qu Caifeng deliberately doubled the size of the rift.

But such a large crack is quite frightening.

The investigation team felt guilty, and then looked around upstairs and downstairs again, and found that only Qu Caifeng's house had the largest crack.

It went unnoticed because there was a painting hanging above it.

In fact, Lu Qiaoge's original intention was to find a suitable house to get Qu Caifeng away.

To be honest, there are really no empty houses right now.

Even now, there are no more bungalows for rent.

After consulting with Lao Hu, they applied to higher authorities for an infrastructure engineer to repair and reinforce the wall.

This is not a task that can be completed in a day.

Qu Caifeng, who had seemed to have victory in her grasp, finally became anxious.

But she had no other choice.

They've worked so hard to fix your things, and you still dare to have a gloomy face?

She could only force herself to be cheerful and express her gratitude to the neighborhood committee, the infrastructure department, and the workers who helped her.

After all, it was the dead of winter, and carrying sand up from downstairs was already very difficult.

Fortunately, there is strength in numbers, and people nowadays are hardworking and quick to get things done, so it was finished in two days.

When she went to Cheng's mother's house again, she found that the old lady no longer mentioned the matter.

Qu Caifeng sneered inwardly: Do you think everything will be fine if you don't mention it?

At this time, only Cheng's mother was at home.

Qu Caifeng said to Cheng's mother, "Auntie, you've been playing me for so long, do you find it interesting?"

The old lady's expression changed: "What are you talking about? When did I ever trick you?"

In a short while, Qu Caifeng's face was covered in tears, and she said in a choked voice, "I'm going to the security department like this. I'm going to tell them that for the past three years, you've pretended to be nice to me, but actually you only care about my ability to have children and the fact that I'm a widow with no one to stand up for me. So you hope to use my womb to carry on the Cheng family line."

He waved his hand, "Look, this is the deposit you gave me. Auntie, do you think the security guards will believe me if I say this?"

Upon hearing this, Cheng's mother broke out in a sweat.

Looking incredulously at Qu Caifeng, who seemed very aggrieved and heartbroken.

It took her a while to find her voice, and she said angrily, "How can you talk nonsense and distort the truth? Didn't you bring it up yourself?"

"How stupid and foolish would I be to bring this up with you? And why would I bring it up? There's no matchmaker, no betrothal, and the relationship is unclear. How could I possibly do something illegal and disorderly?"

Cheng's mother's face turned pale, her chest heaving: "Then... what exactly do you want to do?"

"I'm not doing anything, I'm just chatting with you."

After saying this, Qu Caifeng stood up, said nothing more, and slowly left the Cheng family home to return to her own.

Hearing the door next door close, the old lady slumped onto the sofa.

What does this mean?
Is it easy to invite a god but difficult to send him away?
