Chapter 262 Not Enough
Chapter 262 Not Enough
After leaving An's house, Luo Zaixun drove forward while cursing at An Rusong. Although An Rusong couldn't hear what he cursed at this time, and he knew that such curses were meaningless, he would feel very aggrieved if he didn't curse a few words, and the anger rising from his liver was about to burst him.
Of course, it wasn't just Luo Zaixun who was driving who was angry. Luo Jinggeng who was sitting in the back seat was equally angry, and even angrier.
No matter who you are, you will feel angry after being scolded by someone. If the person who scolds you is someone you have always looked down upon, never taken seriously, or even someone who has always been respectful to you, then your anger value will increase by several hundred percent on the original basis.
The Luo family father and son had this mentality at this time. To be honest, they had never thought that the An family would reject this marriage, and they had never thought that they would be treated like this in the An family. What kind of person is An Lao San? A dog who relies on the Luo family for food. And An Rusong, who is he? If it weren't for the Luo family's gift, how could this dog have the opportunity to become rich?
What an ungrateful person! He just got a little money and he started to nod and bite his master. As the saying goes, "When you have a little money, you become rampant." Isn't that what An Jia is talking about? He is really a nouveau riche! An ungrateful nouveau riche!
However, unlike his son, Luo Jinggeng did not waste his energy in cursing An Rushong. He was past his son's age of impulsiveness and anger, and he was more realistic and rational. Cursing others behind their backs was useless except for making himself angry and wasting some saliva. Facing An Rushong, no, it should be said that facing people like the An family, he must retaliate fiercely, beat them up, and let them know who has the final say in Yuantongli.
"Let's go to Shengkui's house." After quietly listening to his son cursing in the street for a while, Luo Jinggeng suddenly spoke without warning, and said in a calm tone.
Luo Zaixun, who was driving in front, stopped cursing, glanced at his father in the rearview mirror, and asked, "Why are you going to his house?"
"Just go when I tell you to go. Why are you asking so many questions?" Luo Jinggeng said with a scolding in a bad mood.
Although Luo Zaixun was a bit reckless, he was still a little afraid of his father. After hearing his father's scolding, he muttered something under his breath and then dared not say another word.
The "Shengkui" mentioned by Luo Jinggeng is actually named Luo Shengkui. He belongs to the same family and clan as him. They are related by blood several generations ago, but this blood relationship is very thin and they can't even be considered relatives.
Luo Shengkui is the current head of Yuantong Village, which is equivalent to the role of village chief. In Yuantong Village, the head of the village is directly elected by the villagers. In other words, Luo Shengkui has some reputation in Yuantong Village. He has a very large vineyard in Yuantong Village and employs many people. In addition, he is generous, so he has a good reputation among the villagers.
Following his father's orders, Luo Zaixun did not drive the car out of Yuantongli village directly, but drove around the bumpy roads in the village for a while, and finally stopped in front of a two-story building - there are only three two-story buildings in the entire Yuantongli village, and this is one of them.
When Luo Zaixun parked his car outside the courtyard where the small building was located, there were already two cars parked outside the main entrance of the courtyard, and two or three men in suits were standing next to one of the cars.
"It seems that there are guests at Uncle Shengkui's house," Luo Zaixun did not push the door and get out of the car immediately. He turned off the engine and said without turning his head while looking at the two cars not far ahead.
Needless to say, Luo Jinggeng, who was sitting in the back seat, had already seen the two cars. Not only did he see the two cars, he also vaguely saw a familiar-looking person among the people sitting beside the cars. It was just that the person was not facing him, so he could only see the side of the person's face, and it was difficult to recognize him at first glance.
However, as Luo Zaixun stopped the car, the people on the opposite side also turned their heads and looked over here. It was this look from the other party that allowed Luo Jinggeng to confirm the other party's identity.
"Oh, it's the golden-faced chief," Luo Jinggeng exclaimed after confirming the other party's identity, then quickly pushed open the car door and got out of the car as soon as possible.
The "Golden-faced Chief" he mentioned is named Kim Hee-yeol, the chief of Sudong noodles.
"Myeon" is one level of administrative division in South Korea. The so-called "eup, myeon, and ri" are actually equivalent to counties, townships, and villages in China. The head of myeon is similar to the head of a township or town. In terms of administrative affiliation, Wontong-ri is under the jurisdiction of Sudong-myeon.
Although Luo Jinggeng usually lives in Jindeok-myeon, he has a lot of connections with this place, so he knows Jin Xilie.
As the head of Sudong noodles, Kim Hee-yeol is not very old, he looks to be in his early thirties, with a moderate build and elegant temperament, more like a scholar than a bureaucrat. In fact, he was originally a teacher, but he joined politics after working for a few years.
Luo Jinggeng got out of the car and trotted over. When he was still more than ten meters away from the three people beside the car, he laughed loudly and said, "Oh, how come Mr. Jinmian has time to come to Yuantongli today? I haven't gotten any news at all." After all, the Luo family is a big landlord in Yuantongli, and the local people rely on him a lot when there are elections and other things. Therefore, Jin Xilie also knows him.
"Haha, it's Mr. Luo," Jin Xilie recognized him from afar and stepped forward to greet him, smiling, "We just arrived too and have some official business to attend to."
"Oh," Luo Jinggeng had already rushed over while he was talking. He stretched out his hands, shook hands with Jin Xilie, and said, "So, how is the matter going? Is there anything I can do for you?"
Just as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man walked out of the courtyard with the gate wide open.
The middle-aged man was thin, with a weathered look on his face. He was not wearing a suit but a black down jacket.
"Brother Jinggeng is back too?" Seeing Luo Jinggeng standing with Jin Xilie, the middle-aged man said with a smile, "It just so happens that the eldest brother of An Sange's family is back, and Jin Mianchang even came to visit him. Brother Jinggeng, shall we go over and take a look together?"
The middle-aged man was Luo Shengkui, the head of Yuantong Village. He didn't know that Luo Jinggen had already had a conflict with the An family. Therefore, after he finished speaking, he made a gesture to Jin Xilie without waiting for Luo Jinggen to speak, and said, "Let's walk over. It's only a few steps away. If we drive, we will have to take a detour."
Luo Jinggeng was completely stunned by Luo Shengkui's words. He blinked and seemed to think for a while before he realized that the "Third Brother An" the other party was talking about was An Rushong's cowardly and taciturn father. He also realized that the Golden-faced Chief came here today just to visit An Rushong, the eldest brother of the An family.
"Then go over there," Jin Xilie did not notice the expression on Luo Jinggen's face. Of course, in his mind, Luo Jinggen was not a big shot.
In the "Northern District" of Gangwon Province, the conservatives have deep roots, and can be said to have taken root at the grassroots level. For example, Kim Hee-yeol's political stance belongs to the conservatives, and strictly speaking, Luo Jinggen is actually a supporter of the conservatives. In every local election, he provides political donations to conservative candidates.
It is because of this that Luo Jinggeng knows Jin Xilie. Similarly, it is also because of this reason that Jin Xilie, the head of Shuidong, knows him.
However, to say how important Luo Jinggen is in Jin Xilie's mind, that's not the case. After all, Shuidongmian has a population of over 10,000, while Yuantongli has only a few hundred villagers. Luo Jinggen is a small landlord in Yuantongli, but at the level of Shuidongmian, he is not very impressive.
Especially at this moment, Jin Xilie was thinking only about An Rushong. How could he care about Luo Jinggeng's situation?
Unlike Luo Jinggen, a small landlord in the village, An Rusong is completely different in Jin Xilie's eyes. Not only is he a billionaire worth hundreds of billions of won, but he also has a deep background. Yesterday, Jin Xilie received a call from a big boss in the party, specifically asking him to have more contact with An Rusong. Therefore, in Jin Xilie's mind, An Rusong and Luo Jinggen are completely different people, and the importance of the two is simply incomparable.
Neither Jin Xilie nor Luo Shengkui noticed the expression on Luo Jinggeng's face. The two of them just chatted about An Rusong and walked forward. The two young men behind them, who should be Jin Xilie's assistants, also followed closely.
Luo Jinggeng had already realized that something was wrong. Even during the local elections, people like Jin Xilie never came to visit him. As a supporter of the conservatives, he had to personally deliver the money to the door. Even then, he might not get a chance to meet the other party.
And now, just because An Rusong returned to his hometown in Yuantongli, Jin Xilie, the head of the front wing, came over to pay a visit. What does this mean?
As I said, although Luo Jinggeng had a narrow vision and little experience, he was not a stupid man. So, when he realized that something was wrong, he did not yell about the conflict between him and An Rushong, but remained silent for the first time.
Not only did he keep silent, he also glared at his son, signaling him to shut up and stop talking nonsense. Then he hurriedly caught up with Jin Xilie and Luo Shengkui who were walking in front.
It takes less than five minutes to walk from Luo Shengkui's house to An's house. On the way there, Jin Xilie also talked about the purpose of his visit to An Rusong.
