Ordinary people's rice bowl

Chapter 203 Ushering in a Turning Point
Old Mu, who had left his job, looked up at the sky. Last night's wind and snow had cleaned the air spotless, and the sunlight reflected by the white snow made it difficult to open his eyes. Old Mu frowned. How about another trip to town?

Lao Mu pondered for a while in the courtyard, sighed, and then walked towards the village without saying a word.

In the village where we just had dinner, due to the cold weather, except for a few naughty children frolicking in the street, the adults are all huddled at home, eating melon seeds and watching TV!Several older children saw Lao Mu approaching, and greeted Lao Mu enthusiastically: "Mr. Mu is good!" Lao Mu smiled at the children with a little satisfaction, which was the best answer to the children. For me, I like these innocent children, and I prefer the teaching profession I am currently engaged in.

As soon as he approached Tiancheng's gate, he heard several people discussing something in the courtyard, Lao Mu stopped and listened carefully.

"Today's snow is so heavy, and we need to organize people to clean the streets, but our secretary has disappeared?" A woman's voice, although Lao Mu couldn't recognize who it was, but Lao Mu felt that it must be the village's nosy woman.

"In the early morning, I went out before dawn. I sent people to look for him in the factory. According to the people there, I didn't see him. I don't know where he went. It's this time now, and I think he will be back soon!" Mu heard clearly that it was Lianying's voice.

Not only was Lao Mu a little puzzled, he went out early in the morning and hadn't come back until now. Tian Cheng is a busy person in the village, thinking of this, he suddenly regretted that he shouldn't have troubled him yesterday, not to mention that he was standing at the door in such a horrible weather. Old Mu was a bit in a dilemma, now there were people in the village talking about the village affairs, and Tian Cheng was not there, so why should he go in to join in the fun?
"Brother, what are you doing standing here?" Hearing the shout, Lao Mu suddenly turned his head, just in time to see Tianshun who was greeting him.

"I came to look for Tian Cheng, and I happened to hear the yelling about snow plowing in the courtyard!" Lao Mu didn't think of anything to say for a while, and then said what the people in the courtyard said.

"I'm also here for this. The snow was so heavy yesterday. If we don't clean it up, it won't melt in a few days. The festival is coming soon. For the sake of safety, we should also clean it up so that we can go out to catch the New Year's Fair. It's not me I also asked Brother Tiancheng to talk about it!" Tianshun said as he pulled Lao Mu and said, "Let's go in and talk."

"Just now I heard from Lianying that Tian Cheng went out in the morning and hasn't come back yet!"

Tianshun was taken aback and said, "I said why didn't I hear his voice, so he was too busy to be home!"

"No, whoever is here, isn't Brother Tiancheng here?" Tian Shun's eyes were sharp, and when he turned his head, he happened to see Tian Cheng who had just turned the corner from the street.

Old Mu also turned around and saw Tian Cheng striding towards them.

Obviously Tian Cheng also saw Lao Mu and Tian Shun, and waved his hands to greet them: "Have you two eaten yet?"

"I've eaten, you haven't eaten yet, have you?" Hearing Tian Cheng's words, Tianshun replied.

"No, this snow was very heavy. Although the wind was not small yesterday, the snow was too heavy. We must organize the young and strong laborers in the village to clean the snow on the road outside our village, otherwise it will be difficult to go out before the festival! " Tian Cheng who walked in front of Tian Shun ordered.

"That's why I came to you!" Tianshun replied.

"Just now I heard that someone in the courtyard is also looking for you for this matter!" Old Mu seemed to remind Tian Chengdao.

"Then I'll leave this matter to you! Greet everyone as soon as possible, bring your own tools, and each family must send out one person, so let's call it now!" Tian Cheng pointed to Tianshun who was standing beside him and arranged.

"Okay, I'll notify the team leaders right away!" Tianshun turned to look for the team leaders after finishing speaking.

Tian Cheng looked at Tianshun who was leaving, smiled at Lao Mu and said, "Brother, I went to the town right now to find my brother-in-law for your greeting last night. Guess what?"

"Ouch, we can see our secretary!" A shrill female voice interrupted Tian Cheng's words.

Only then did Lao Mu notice that this woman was not an outsider, but happened to be Du Zhiyuan, the nephew and daughter-in-law of the old secretary.

Tian Cheng felt a little uncomfortable when he heard her say that, but he lost his mind in an instant, and joked, "Look, I'll be surprised if I don't report to you every day!"

"Look at what you said, how can I let the God of Wealth in our village report to me, I report to you every day, otherwise how can I have money to spend!" Du Zhiyuan's mouth is famously unreasonable .

Seeing that Tian Cheng was joking with Du Zhiyuan, Lao Mu couldn't answer, so he just smiled at Du Zhiyuan.

"I came to see you for no other reason than to arrange for someone to sweep the snow on the road, otherwise how can you do this when visiting relatives and houses during the Chinese New Year?" Du Zhiyuan said in a relieved tone.

"Don't worry, I've asked Tianshun to notify everyone just now, you go home and get your tools to join the snow removal team, and I'll make sure you're full at noon!" Tian Cheng didn't forget to tease her at the end.

"You are ready, I will really come to eat!" Du Zhiyuan said, twisting her big buttocks and walking away.

"Look, I asked her to cross it just now, we haven't had time to talk about our business."

"It's okay, you can continue talking!" Lao Mu responded in a timely manner.

"What did you say just now?" Tian Cheng asked back.

"I found my brother-in-law in the town, what did you say?" Old Mu reminded.

"He happened to be the person in charge of this case, and he was the one who went to Xiali Village to learn about the situation that day, and regarding this case, they have already changed their original judgment. It’s notorious, now that something big has happened, I know to ask the police, and secondly, they say it’s borrowing money, but it’s actually robbery in disguise, and they committed the crime first.”

When Tian Cheng said this, he seemed to suddenly realize: "Quickly, go into the room and talk!"

When Tian Cheng entered the courtyard, Lian Ying complained, "You didn't say anything about where you went, but two or three groups of people came looking for you in the morning!"

Speaking of this, when Lianying saw Lao Mu following behind, she suddenly became speechless, and immediately greeted Lao Mu: "Old Mu brother, you haven't eaten yet, let's eat with my family!"

Old Mu hurriedly replied: "You are too polite, I have already eaten, let Tian Cheng eat!"

"It's okay, I'm used to it!" Tian Cheng smiled, and continued: "Let's talk about our business, the bastard you mentioned, when I mentioned the name to my brother-in-law, my brother-in-law laughed, and said directly that his nickname is He is called Erdan, but his real name is Hu Wei. It is said that everyone knows his nickname, but he covered up his big name. At that time, those little gangsters made the first move. According to my brother-in-law, this can only be regarded as Hu Wei Justifiably defensive, but a bit too defensive!"

"Do you want to be sentenced for being too defensive?" Lao Mu felt a little anxious.

"I can't say for sure. It is said that depending on the injury of the other party, if it gets better in a few days, there may be nothing wrong! Even if there is nothing wrong, the other party will also go to jail!"

"It's so serious!" Lao Mu was a little surprised when he heard that the other party was going to jail.

"Don't forget, they are robbery, which is a serious crime. According to my brother-in-law, this is one of the top ten crimes in the criminal law. The starting point is very high. The minimum sentence is three years. We are too defensive, it is different. Well, it can be executed outside prison for a year or so at most, if the injury is minor, there will be no problem!"

"Then you don't have to stay in the police station for a long time!" Lao Mu was still very concerned about the day Erdan came out.

"I heard from my brother-in-law that this matter can be long or short. The longest time is a few days before I can go home!"

Hearing this, he was very grateful to Tian Cheng in his heart, and Lao Mu couldn't help but let out a long breath for what happened to Erdan.

"It seems that there will be no delay in going home for the New Year!" Old Mu said as if talking to himself.

"Don't worry, it won't happen. My brother-in-law heard that I have something to do with this Hu Wei, and promised to let him go home first, maybe he will go home today!" Tian Cheng said a little proudly.

Old Mu nodded, and the stone in his heart slowly fell to the ground.
