Chapter 32: Fishing for people
It was three days later that Lu Yang learned that his two cousins ​​were in jail. Just before he was about to return home in glory, Lu Yang was shopping in a state-owned shopping mall in Dashen City.

Prepare to bring some gifts for the family.

What about body cream, sweaters, jeans, waistcoats, and beautiful down jackets that only city people wear at this stage? It happens that it’s winter now, so I can take them back and my wife can wear them.

My eldest cousin, Dajun, also bought a lot.

No one is short of money at this stage.

It’s a rare opportunity to come to Dashen City, and I’m going back soon, so how can I not bring some local specialties of Dashen City.

"Here, Shanghai brand big steel watches, real local specialties of Shanghai, one for each of you, and don't be polite to me, just consider it as my reward for your hard work."

Finally, he walked to a watch store and bought three golden watches.

Without waiting for his cousin, Da Jun refused.

He also chose a small and cute Swiss women's watch for his wife Yin Mingyue.

After thinking about it, I decided that I couldn't leave out my father-in-law and mother-in-law. They had treated me badly in my previous life, and I had also treated them badly, so both of us suffered. But I haven't been owed anything in this life, especially since I paid the 5000 yuan so straightforwardly.

Never mind, just buy two more.

Hey, this one is also good, it’s a Rolex. I heard that nowadays wealthy people like to wear Rolex, so I bought one.

At worst, you can just switch between them.

There is also this one, a famous Swiss watch, Longines brand. I heard that in later generations, this mechanical thing will have collection value. Forget it, I'll buy another one.

Without blinking an eye, Lu Yang had already selected seven or eight watches and paid a total of more than three thousand yuan at one time.

This made his cousin, Da Jun, who originally wanted to be polite to him and felt a little embarrassed to accept the Shanghai brand steel watch worth more than a hundred yuan, look at each other, smile bitterly, and decide not to be polite and just put on the watch.

"Let's go."

"Call home before you go back."

After spending several thousand dollars and shopping in the state-owned shopping mall, Lu Yang, who was very satisfied, finally remembered to call home.

The three of them have already bought the train tickets for this afternoon.

Without hesitation, they headed straight for the train station. The three of them used the landline phone at the convenience service point there, which was quite convenient except that they had to wait in line.

Unexpectedly, after this call, all three of them were stunned.

Something happened at home.

The big fight three days ago gave Ma Sanli the opportunity to gossip and scold others for having a cripple in their family. As a result, he has now become a cripple himself.

The Lu brothers were so furious that they only targeted Ma Sanli and beat him to death, no matter how many cronies Ma Sanli had. They ignored everyone else. The sixth brother, Lu Youzhi, who was young and more impulsive, got so angry that he broke one of Ma Sanli's calves with a hammer. While the other party was screaming and rolling on the ground, he also subdued his cronies and ended the fight.

The two brothers did not have an easy time either.

They were all bruised and the fifth oldest, Lu Youli, even had a broken head.

But it's all skin wounds.

The matter was later brought to the attention of the village committee, and the old branch secretary stepped in. It was supposed to be a situation where both parties were given fifty lashes and the matter was left unresolved.

People's lives in the countryside are cheap and not that precious. As long as no one is killed, people with missing limbs are generally resolved behind closed doors by the village. If the problem cannot be solved, they will consider reporting to the police. Moreover, even if the police come, when dealing with grassroots civil conflicts like this, they will generally seek the opinions of the village committee first, try to make a big deal out of a small matter, and try to reconcile privately. If the reconciliation is really impossible, they will consider executing justice procedures and arresting those who should be arrested and imprisoning those who should be imprisoned.

The situation is similar this time.

It was Ma Sanli's family who called the police. They agreed to a settlement, but they required the Lu family to at least compensate Ma Sanli 2000 yuan for disability, and medical expenses were not included. Otherwise, the Lu family's sixth son, who had committed the crime, would go to jail. But Lu Yang's uncle's family couldn't afford so much money. They were reluctant to give even 2000 yuan, let alone 200 yuan. But they couldn't refuse a settlement.

Fighting and brawling can cause people to become disabled.

If we really take it seriously and enforce the law, I'm afraid even the old man of the Lu family may not be able to get out in 60 years.

But after Ma Sanli's family made such a fuss, the police arrested not only the sixth son of the Lu family, but also the fifth son of the Lu family, and all of Ma Sanli's friends in the village were taken away.

It is conceivable that if the case is treated as a fight, the fifth and sixth sons of the Lu family will not be able to escape, and Ma Sanli's gang of cronies will not be able to escape. Even Ma Sanli himself, after he is released from the hospital, will probably have to go to the police station.

This is the situation now.

Lu Yang comforted his eldest cousin who looked anxious and wished he could fly back home: "You are no longer anxious. The good news is that Ma Sanli's family agreed to reconcile, and the police handled the matter impartially. They not only arrested the fifth and sixth brothers, but also Ma Sanli's cronies. Now it's not just your family that is under pressure, but Ma Sanli's family is also under a lot of pressure. Now the families of the imprisoned idiots in the village are probably blocking the door of their Ma family. If we don't handle the matter properly, no one will want to have a good New Year."

Being comforted by Lu Yang.

The eldest cousin breathed a sigh of relief and looked at his cousin beside him, as if he had found his backbone. "Then what do you think we should do, fourth brother? I'll listen to you."

Lu Yang shook his head.

What else can you do? Spend money to avoid disaster.

Ma Sanli has a lame leg, so he must be compensated a certain amount of money. If he is not compensated, the Ma family would rather die together.

The government also needs money to handle the matter. It's easy before you go to jail, but once you're in jail, it's not easy to get out without paying a fine.

Sit down on the train for two days and one night.

The three of them suppressed their fatigue and prepared to go and rescue the people first.

However, Lu Yang took them to the county post office to buy a pager.

Pin it at your waist.

This will make you look more like a big boss.

BB machines, also known as pagers, were introduced into China in 1984. At the beginning, only English machines were available, and Chinese machines appeared a few years later. The one in Lu Yang's hand is a Chinese machine, and it cost about 2000 yuan including the network access fee.

Originally, according to Lu Yang's idea, he wanted to do it in one go and just buy a mobile phone.

Unfortunately, the mobile phone was only introduced last year, and this type of cordless phone is only popular in major cities in China. It can be bought in Dashencheng, but even if you get a Dashencheng card, you don't use it in Dashencheng. Lu Yang's brain is not kicked by a donkey, so it's okay to use it to show off, but if he really uses it to make calls in his hometown, the inter-provincial roaming long-distance call charges will be too much for him, a man with a fortune of 100,000 yuan.

"Besides, aren't mobile phones too expensive now?"

Lu Yang consulted someone at the county post office.

was informed.

After the spring of next year, when the signal towers are laid, you can also make reservations for mobile phones in advance in the local county.

Yes, make an appointment in advance.

It’s not expensive, the price is quite affordable, only 28000 instead of 99800.

Forget it, I'll just use my pager.

Lu Yang dressed himself up, looking like a successful man, and took his two cousins ​​out of the county town and headed straight for Fan Town...
