my wife is a consul

Chapter 480
There are [-] or [-] households in Sunset Valley, but they are not concentrated together. There are a few wooden houses on the mountainside here, and there are two mud thatched cottages and small courtyards next to the towering trees. The sparse ones do not form a village.

The social worker arrived in the morning, a man and a woman were waiting beside the big rock on the trail entering Sunset Valley.

The woman Lu Ming knew, Wei's sister-in-law Wei Chunli, who had worked as a pyrotechnic maid for Lu Ming when Lu Ming first arrived in Sansha Town, Longgang.

In fact, Mrs. Wei's husband, Wei San, died because of the conflict over Lu Ming's entry into the Sansha Coal Mining Industry. Therefore, Wei San's death is also a relief to Mrs. Wei.

Nowadays, Mrs. Wei's status in a certain circle of knowledge is not ordinary. Who doesn't pay attention to someone who has worked for General Lu's family?

She was wearing a light green lady's suit and creamy white leather shoes. She looked very elegant, and she was indeed from the Lu residence.

Seeing Lu Ming and his party arrived, she came up to them and shook hands one by one, "Are you Lawyer Zhang?"

Lu Ming smiled: "Yes!" Looking at this young woman who seemed to have been reborn, I felt a little relieved.

When she left the Lu mansion, Aunt Wei received 5000 yuan in severance pay. In addition, she has been in the Lu mansion for two years, and there are several thousand bonuses. She has saved a total of 1 yuan in savings, which is relatively small in Montenegro. Rich woman.

She bought the money into bonds to eat the interest, and Ren responded to the call of the New Life Movement Committee to become a social worker. In fact, she was similar to a volunteer, with a monthly subsidy of only 2 yuan.

But the Montenegrin bonds she bought actually have a good annual interest rate of about [-]%, because the economy is growing at a high speed, and the interest rate of Montenegro bonds similar to national debt is naturally high.

That is to say, Mrs. Wei earns about 600 yuan in interest every year, which is almost equal to the average income of the working class in the satellite towns of the East China Sea, such as Beiguan. In today's Montenegro, it is definitely a high-income class.

After staying in the Lu mansion for more than two years, it seems that her vision has changed. As for the money, it is enough to have enough, and she still needs to do something meaningful.

So, she became a social worker.

Speaking of it, it was not in vain to be the host and guest of Lu Mansion.

When Mrs. Wei shook hands with Christine, there was a hint of surprise on her face.

Suddenly, he was taken aback again, and suddenly turned to look at Lu Ming.

Lu Ming remained calm.

I didn't change my face shape, but I wore thick black-rimmed glasses with large lenses, and my hair style was messed up, as if I had changed myself.

But Mrs. Wei has been in the Lu mansion for more than two years after all, and has seen her many times, so she may not be able to communicate with her, but she can see her from afar.

Therefore, maybe she would find it weird and feel that she was a bit like "General Lu", but no matter what, she didn't dare to speak nonsense, and could only hide her doubts in her heart.

"Miss Wei, please tell me about your communication with the villagers here." Lu Ming said with a smile.

Wei Chunli sighed, "It's difficult for the villagers here to communicate, but I've been here a few times, and I don't think it's impossible. If Zhao Shanpao can be persuaded, there is hope. Many villagers listen to him."

None of the children in Sunset Valley Village went to school, even though Wei Chunli had already contacted the orphanage to provide free board and lodging for the children here, so as not to have to commute to and from school every day on the ten-mile mountain road.

Then Wei Chunli heard about the "Glens Charity Fund" and handed in a form to apply for bursaries for all school-age children in Sunset Valley Village.

The Montenegro Special Zone implements five-year compulsory education, that is, tuition and textbook fees for primary school are exempted.

However, the paper and pen tools used in school still cost money, and it is still a considerable expense for especially poor families.

The schooling problem of the children in Sunset Valley Village has now been solved for board and lodging. For the children, it is the expenses of paper, pens, tools and so on.

According to the application form Wei Chunli filled out, applying for a stipend of 2 cents per month for each child is indeed enough for their study expenses, and maybe they can save some money to buy some snacks.

The population of Sunset Valley Village is about 500 people. According to Wei Chunli's statistics, there are more than 7 boys and girls aged 12 to 40.

Children over the age of thirteen or fourteen, almost all the children here help the family as adults, and Wei Chunli knows that statistics are useless.

In the application form, Wei Chunli also made it clear that there will definitely not be more than 40 people who will be able to go to school in the end. The stipends needed will be calculated at that time, and the application form will be applied individually.

However, Wei Chunli did not expect that lawyers Zhang and Chris, the managers of the foundation, would be willing to come to this small mountain village to help with work.

What's more, the two lawyers are so young, the male lawyer is like a street guy, with messy hair, and the female Western lawyer is really beautiful, with two ponytails, she should be less than 20 years old, but her deep blue eyes give people a sense of It's a very mature and intelligent feeling, which doesn't match her sweet appearance.

And the male lawyer...?Wei Chunli then shook her head, how could it be possible, she was a little nervous.

"Zhao Shanpao? Then go find this Zhao Shanpao!" Lu Ming smiled.

In fact, before entering this small mountain village, the intelligence system had already investigated the villagers clearly, and Zhao Shanpao was the key figure.

He has a hot temper and is ready to use a knife at every turn.

Once joined the gang of old jackals, returned to the mountain village after amnesty, is the backbone of the mountain people,

According to the tradition of Sunset Valley Village, the villagers are probably used to listening to powerful and fierce people.

"Okay, I'll lead the way!" Wei Chunli pointed to the small road leading to the valley at the fork ahead, "Go down." After a pause, "This Mr. Zhao seems to have a bad temper, but he seems to be very concerned about the children's future. Concerned, but he felt that those years of schooling were useless, and he made the children in the mountains weak, and it was people outside the mountains who were harming them, there was a conspiracy..."

Speaking of this, Wei Chunli smiled wryly.

Lu Ming said to Christine: "This Mr. Zhao was a bandit, and he was pardoned later."

Christine nodded slightly: "The information of the mountain people is closed. They may have been bandits, but they have some vision."

Lu Ming said: "So, it's ironic...".

While talking, a group of people walked down the path. There was a corn field in the ravine next to it. It seemed that this year was the sowing year, and now it was the maturity of the corn, but it looked that the cobs were not big, and the ears spit out were black. The valleys are really lacking in fertility.

Moreover, if there is waterlogging, probably only sorghum crops such as corn and sorghum can still have some harvests, provided that they do not encounter severe flooding.

In the case of drought, drought-tolerant crops such as corn and sorghum are slightly better.

"That's Mr. Zhao's house!" Wei Chunli pointed to the mud house next to the corn field in the ravine ahead.

In front of the mud house was the field ridge, and the green gauze curtain was shaking slightly. Wei Chunli walked quickly, stood beside the field ridge, and raised her voice slightly: "Mr. Zhao, are you home? I am Wei Chunli. I came here the day before yesterday and this morning."

At this time in the evening, fortunately, the afterglow of the setting sun can shine in this valley, but it is not dark, and the name of the setting sun valley probably comes from this.

"Get lost!" A shout came from the room, "I'm bothered by endless girls! I have nothing to say to you, get out!"

Wei Chunli was stunned, she probably didn't expect that Zhao Shanpao turned his face faster than turning a book.

"Zhao Shanpao, do you want to be arrested?! Why are you swearing at people casually? It's a social worker lady from the county!" Du Dewang walked over with a beard and staring eyes.

Lu Ming was helpless. He obviously had no power, but he still had a lot of authority. In Du Dewang's eyes, the social worker was also a member of the official family and could not be insulted.

It can only be said that traditional thinking is not so easy to change, everything can only be done slowly.

"Oh, I said anyone who is in front of my house dares to yell, beat and kill! So it's Mr. Du!" From the thatched hut, a tall man walked out. It's black and muddy.

He is tall, sturdy and oppressive. He looked at Du Dewang provocatively, "Which royal law have I violated? Are you going to arrest me?"

Du Dewang said viciously: "General Lu promulgated the Compulsory Education Law, if you don't abide by the law, you should be arrested!"

Zhao Shanpao clicked his tongue twice, "Don't use the tiger's skin to pull the banner! What's the matter? Want to avenge your own private revenge? I knocked out your son's front tooth back then, but he should be beaten!"

Clearly, there is still some old grudge between the two.

Du Dewang was accompanied by two attendants, both of whom were young and strong. Of course, they must have been hired by him at his own expense, the kind of nursing home at home.

Du Dewang gestured to the two nurses: "Tie me up this gangster!"

Christine frowned slightly, seeing that Lu Ming was just watching, she also remained silent.

But Lu Ming came over suddenly, blocking her sight, and said with a smile: "Chris, cover your ears, don't listen to what they say."

Christine immediately knew what he wanted to do, glared at him, and whispered, "It's a mess again!" But she still covered her ears with her hands, and walked away, behind a big tree.

Zhao Shanpao over there will naturally not be restrained honestly, even if one of the guards took out the box cannon and pointed it at his head, Zhao Shanpao still yelled with the cold muzzle of the gun on his head: "Come on! If you don't kill me, you will die!" It's a son of a bitch!"

Bang, the back of his head was hit by another guard with a baton, he staggered and almost fell, he turned around and wrestled with that man.

There was a "bang" gunshot, but it was the guard who fired directly, but Ah Qi somehow got to the guard's side, pushed him the moment he fired, and the bullet missed.

Zhao Shanpao was also stunned. At this time, a small figure came out from the thatched hut, and then burst into tears.

Zhao Shanpao looked at the muzzle of the black hole, and then at the son at the door. Finally, he stopped struggling and was pushed to the ground and tied up with ropes.

Du Dewang smiled at Lu Ming and Wei Chunli: "Okay, this bandit has been subdued! I think the children's schooling is no longer hindered!"

Wei Chunli frowned and said, "What are you doing? Let him go!"

Du Dewang said with a smile: "This will be handed over to the court!"

Lu Ming looked at Du Dewang and nodded: "It turns out that Master Du had already prepared for him and came here for him. No wonder you are old enough to accompany us into the mountains!"

Du Dewang said with a smile: "Lawyer Zhang was joking. I never thought that this fierce man would resist the national law and beat us."

Lu Ming's face was not very good-looking, and he never expected that the guard of Du Dewang's family would dare to shoot directly. If Ah Qi hadn't seen the opportunity early, Zhao Shanpao would definitely have been shot. It looked like it was shot in the leg.

But no matter what, if Zhao Shanpao was shot, it was because he was careless and deliberately did not stop the conflict.

"Go get Chris over here!" Lu Ming said to Ah Qi.

Over there, Du Dewang's men violently pulled up Zhao Shanpao, and pushed the crying children running over.

Wei Chunli was furious. Regardless of the male social worker behind her pulling her, he went up to her and said, "Quickly release them, what right do you have to arrest them?!"

Du Dewang's face sank slightly: "When you meet bandits, everyone gets to kill them!"

"Mr. Du, I am now the representative lawyer of Mr. Zhao Shanpao!" Shi Shiran came back and Christine smiled slightly: "Excuse me, why did you arrest my client? Do you have an arrest warrant? Or, do you have police officers?" identity, beyond reasonable doubt?"

Du Dewang was startled: "What do you mean?"

Lu Ming said: "Chris has made it very clear. She is Mr. Zhao Shanpao's representative lawyer, because she doesn't know what happened. Unlike me, I witnessed the whole process of the incident and felt the case through personal experience. Therefore, I can only be a witness and cannot represent either of you, but as far as your dispute is concerned, Miss Chris can represent one of you."

"Lawyer Zhang, don't make such a joke, this little Yanma..." Du Dewang paused, "Is this lawyer Ke a little confused, can you tell me?"

Lu Ming looked at him and said calmly: "No one is joking with you. You may be involved in various crimes such as kidnapping, attempted murder, and intentional injury. It is also illegal to have police weapons, and that box cannon, do you have a gun license? If so, what is the purpose? Are you allowed to carry it with you under non-specific circumstances? These may be a big trouble! "

Du Dewang's face gradually darkened, "You are foreigners who don't understand, it's better not to meddle in your own business!"

"If you don't let people go, you will be more and more guilty! Besides, maybe someone will be brave enough to save people!" Before Lu Ming could finish his sentence, several young male affairs officers from the office slowly approached.

"Damn it, you idiots..." The guard with the gun couldn't laugh or cry, took out the cannon box and wanted to shoot at the sky to scare away these young students who had never been beaten by society. The city people who came out of the school were totally unreliable.

"Oh..." He cried out in pain, but his wrist suddenly hurt, the pistol fell to the ground, and he fell down.

"There is a security officer here, Miss Wei, go and report." Lu Ming said to Wei Chunli who was staring at him in a daze.

Generally speaking, each village elects a civil affairs committee member for a district's civil affairs committee, but this Sunset Valley Village is obviously completely outside the social system. No one votes, let alone stands for the village's civil affairs committee member.

However, Wei Chunli introduced the situation. Because of its special situation, this mountain village has a sheriff stationed by the district security office to deal with possible petty theft incidents or disputes such as fights. In addition, it is also to prevent the resurgence of bandits. .

Wei Chunli was staring blankly at Lu Ming, but now she came back to her senses and agreed in a panic, "Yes, yes, okay, I'll go..."

Turning around and running towards the path, the male social worker hurriedly followed.

Du Dewang looked at Lu Ming with a sullen face, then at Christine, and nodded: "You are fine."

The old man made a gesture and left on crutches first, followed by two nurses. Although the gun-wielding nurse picked up the gun, his arm hurt so badly that he couldn't even lift it. He covered it with his other hand, Humming and chirping away.

Here, a guy in a peaked cap went to untie the rope that bound Zhao Shanpao, and Zhao Shanpao's son threw himself into his father's arms and cried bitterly.

"Why are you crying!" Zhao Shanpao reprimanded: "Wipe up the horse urine for me! I'll know that horse urine is useless!"

Obviously he stopped resisting because he was worried that his son would be hurt, but in front of his son, he was extremely strict.

Christine handed over a business card: "Mr. Zhao, please tell me all the details of the dispute now. We can choose to call the police or file a private prosecution. No matter which procedure we go, I will act as your attorney for free. To provide you with legal professional assistance!"

Zhao Shanpao was stunned, "I still have to report to the police? Are you okay? Thank you." He looked at Lu Ming again, "Thank you too!"

These two lawyers obviously helped him. They are both well-dressed urbanites and well-meaning people.

Zhao Shanpao tried his best to smile at the two of them.

"Mr. Zhao, this lawsuit must be fought! Otherwise, you will have endless troubles!" Of course, Lu Ming would not talk about the significance of this lawsuit, and pondered: "So, let's go in and talk?"

……

When I got back to the caravan, it was already late at night, after two o'clock in the morning, the moon was sparse outside, and the night lights were on in the caravan.

Sitting on the sofa, Lu Ming closed his eyes tiredly.

Although Zhao Shanpao doesn't like to litigate, but because of Christine's persuasion, he reluctantly agrees that he will come here to join the two of them tomorrow.

Then, go to the District Public Security Station to call the police.

This was also proposed by Lu Ming. He wanted to take a look at the behavioral styles of a series of organizations.

As for the children going to school, there is no rush tonight, and I plan to talk to him tomorrow.

However, feeling inexplicably depressed, Lu Ming let out a long breath while leaning on the sofa.

The sound of water over there gradually stopped, and when the door rang, Lu Ming turned his head to look.

When she came out of the bathroom, Christine was still dressed neatly. Although her hair was obviously wet, she still wore a ponytail. She wore snow-white suspender jeans, light yellow soft knee socks, and black leather shoes, all brand new.

Seeing Lu Ming's strange gaze, Christine smiled gently, and slowly sat down beside Lu Ming, and said softly, "Don't feel panicked, the rural traditions of the Northern Territory have been a stubborn disease since ancient times, and it is difficult to cure. You have only been here for three years, and enough has changed, and besides, there are people like Miss Wei? It shows that you still have a great influence. "

Lu Ming smiled wryly in his heart, Wei Chunli was in his mansion, and belonged to someone who was directly influenced by him.

But it is impossible for me to reach all the thousands of people.

"Let me lend you a shoulder to lean on?" Christine suddenly smiled playfully.

Lu Ming had no choice but to smile and said, "The two of us are really, aren't we both moaning a little sick? We are obviously the most powerful people in the world, but we often make ourselves feel down. Do we want to comfort each other? I want Although you were useless when I lent you a shoulder to lean on, I will definitely use your shoulder!"

Then she turned her head to the side, resting her head lightly on Christine's shoulder, and slowly closed her eyes again.

Christine looked at him quietly, stretched out her slender hand, and gently stroked his hair.

Lu Ming suddenly sat up again, "No, no, if this goes on, I really found a mother and became a boy!" He looked at Christine with a wry smile, "Don't be like this, okay?!"

No matter what, I felt that my mother was lovingly coaxing me to sleep, and I almost hummed a lullaby.

Christine looked at him quietly, "You were young and lost your parents before your mental maturity, so it's normal to lack maternal love..."

Lu Ming was stunned, and some memories that had been suppressed in his heart surged up irresistibly. He never saw his majestic father and kind mother again, not even saying goodbye.

If you don't know that world, do you still exist?What kind of torment would they suffer if they suddenly disappeared like this?
I have never dared to think about it, and I don't want to think about it, but now, I suddenly feel a thousand sorrows and boundless loneliness, which suddenly surge up, making me breathless.

Everything around him became distorted and oppressive, and he was like a helpless lonely ghost, who could never find his way home.

Until, the head was stroked gently again, like a mother's kind hand.

Lu Ming slowly leaned on the sofa, sighed softly, "I'm homesick!" But his heart gradually became peaceful.

"God has arranged everything. From now on, we will return to ashes and ashes. Don't be afraid or sad. You will see your parents in eternal peace!"

Lu Ming nodded slightly, suddenly feeling extremely tired, and murmured softly, "Yes, I am not afraid, my parents, I hope they know that I am living well in another world..." Consciousness gradually blurred.

……

When I opened my eyes, the sky outside was pale, about four or five o'clock.

But after taking a nap, in just two or three hours, it seemed that he had many strange dreams. In the dream, he saw his parents...

Touch the corner of the eye, it seems to be still wet.

Let out a long breath, as if everything was vented in a dream, and now, I feel much more comfortable.

She was startled suddenly, but it was the other side of the sofa. Christine was curled up in the corner, as if she was in a light sleep, so she woke up when she moved, and she straightened her long blond hair, and slowly sat upright.

But when she curled up to sleep, half of the light yellow soft socks were wiped off. Now she sat up, and the light yellow soft socks on the right side fell off completely, revealing the delicate and flawless snow-white feet like works of art. The hazy and translucent pink gemstone manicure makes the jade feet even more charming, and the wonderful arcs are attractive to commit crimes. People can't help but think of these snow-white jade feet resting on the left and right shoulders. How ecstasy and wonderful the change of the arc is.

"In a much better mood?" Christine looked at Lu Ming and smiled slightly, with the majesty of His Royal Highness.

But then she was a little surprised, looked down in the direction Lu Ming was staring straight at, then glared at Lu Ming, and hurriedly picked up the light yellow soft socks and put them on her feet.

Lu Ming reluctantly looked away, coughed, moved towards her, and licked his face with a smile: "Your Highness..."

Christine glared at him, and Lu Ming immediately put away his playful smile, "Well, you can rest for a while and sleep in that big bedroom. If Zhao Shanpao and the others come, I'll call you."

　Happy New Year, comrades!
