My Wife is a Counsel Chapter 133: Preparing to blackmail people again
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of My Wife is an Archon!
The third ward of Beiguan is between two main roads, a row of shopping malls and shops headed by New Era Mall, and four or five residential areas behind the commercial area. There are four- and five-story apartment buildings, as well as rows of There are more than 20,000 voters of sufficient age in a two-story building. Compared with the 49th constituency, it is completely different.
Lu Ming is currently walking in one of the communities.
Although the senior officials of the Ecumenical Party have not made their decision yet, Lu Ming had some time today and came to the third district to take a look around.
This is an apartment building community, but the buildings are relatively old and the residents are civilians.
"Which building is your uncle's house in?" Lu Ming asked Jin Meiyan who was walking next to her.
Jin Miyan’s relative’s home is here, so I brought her here.
Originally, Lu Ming called Wen Liangyu to find out if there was anyone reliable who lived in the community near the New Era Mall and could show him around.
Jia Xiaoling should be nearby. She took the phone and said that Jin Meiyan was staying at a relative's house. After her business failed last year, she moved here.
Lu Ming then went to the Left Bank Garden and picked up Jin Meiyan.
I also remembered that I called Liu Laocai and asked him to help transfer Jin Meiyan to Fernald.
"There, the second building..." Jin Meiyan pointed ahead. She was wearing a black and white baseball uniform, baggy white pants, a baseball cap, and black canvas shoes. She looked very young and sweet.
Lu Ming looked at her and thought to himself that these two sisters had grown taller early, so Jin Meizhen sat in the last row and became tablemates with him.
On the other side, the old man in white shirt and black trousers walking slowly was naturally Uncle Sun.
I came here on a temporary basis. Apart from my closest confidants, only the fourth brother and the fourth sister-in-law of the Wen family knew about it, so there was no need to follow him.
However, there is still a car at each of the community's entrances and exits. Armed officers are in the car, watching people entering and exiting.
"Sister Meiyan! Where have you been? I haven't seen you for a long time!" The surprised voice came from a small figure who happened to walk out of a building, carrying a big box. The 20-year-old girl was full of surprise when she saw Jin Miyan.
Lu Ming shook his head. Delinquent boys and girls seemed to be very popular among children.
"You haven't gone anywhere, Xiuxiu, are you selling lemonade again?" Jin Meiyan smiled and pinched her little face.
"Yes!" Xiuxiu agreed happily, and even struggled to open the box, "Sister Meiyan, I'll pour you a glass. I made it this time. It tastes great!"
"Okay!" Jin Meiyan opened the box for her, Xiu Xiu took out a large old thermos and a glass, and poured Jin Meiyan a glass of lemon juice with a hint of green.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "I'll have a drink too!"
Jin Meiyan was stunned and looked at Lu Ming in disbelief.
Lu Ming knew that she felt that since this kind of traditional drink was made by a child at home, she would think it might be unhygienic, so logically, she would not touch it.
"Also, give Uncle Sun a drink too." Lu Ming pointed to Uncle Sun not far away.
Xiuxiu was immediately very happy and poured three full cups, one of which she ran to give to Sun Luting.
Lu Ming picked up the cup and tasted it. It was sour and sweet, and it tasted pretty good. Moreover, it was not saccharin, but real white sugar, and there was a good amount of lemon.
Jin Meiyan took out her small wallet, took out 1 yuan from it and gave it to Xiuxiu, saying: "Here, no need to change!"
"No, no, I'll treat Sister Meiyan and your friends to drinks, but I don't want them!" Xiuxiu waved her hands repeatedly.
"Take it if it's given to you!" Jin Meiyan stuffed 1 yuan into Xiuxiu's pocket and said, "If you don't want it, I won't drink it next time."
"It doesn't need to be so much. I know that uncle won't give you any tuition fees..." Xiu Xiu shook her head repeatedly, anxious.
Lu Ming smiled and said: "Take it, your sister Meiyan is making money now."
"Ah, I know, Sister Meiyan will definitely make a lot of money!" Xiuxiu immediately became happy, took out the one-dollar bill, and handed it to Jin Meiyan, "Sister Meiyan, I'm going to treat you today, okay? ?" The tone was firm.
Jin Meiyan thought for a while and took it, but when she was not paying attention and went to collect the cup, she still stuffed the banknotes into the gap in her box.
For the first time, Lu Ming drank the drink in one go and then handed the cup to Xiu Xiu. Seeing Xiu Xiu, she immediately put the cup in a basin next to her and said, "You can't wash yourself until you get there!"
"Brother, Sister Meiyan, I have to go quickly, otherwise it will be difficult to clean up!"
"Well, go ahead!" Jin Meiyan touched her little head.
Xiuxiu picked up the big box and walked arduously outside the community, looking back three times every step. Obviously, she couldn't bear to leave Sister Meiyan and wanted to talk to Sister Meiyan, but she was in a hurry to earn a living.
"Where is she setting up her stall?" Lu Ming asked.
"In front of the mall, the New Era Mall, that small square." Jin Meiyan also looked at Xiuxiu's little figure.
"Oh, don't the mall security guards care?"
"She has been selling it for several years. She used to decorate it with her grandma. In the past two years, her grandma was paralyzed, so she went by herself. Everyone knows that the lemonade she and grandma made is delicious and hygienic."
Lu Ming nodded, the security guard at Liu Laocai Shopping Mall was still a bit humane.
"Where are her parents?"
"I don't know. Ever since I've known her, she hasn't had parents."
As Jin Meiyan spoke, she glanced at Lu Ming cautiously and said uneasily, "Uncle, I'm not spending money randomly."
"That's what you earned, it has nothing to do with me!" Lu Ming waved his hand.
The money was given to her by Jia Xiaoling. Moreover, when I went back just now, I saw that she was diligently wiping the floor, not missing any gaps. She looked very serious. It seemed that she had to wipe it like this every day.
Cleaning such a big house is actually very laborious, especially if there is any dust, you have to wipe it down.
She also does things like changing the water in the swimming pool alone.
It counts, very conscientious.
"No, I know. That was the pocket money Sister Ling gave me for my uncle. I, I..." Jin Meiyan lowered her head.
Indeed, in theory, she was sold and could only take care of food and drink. Where would she get any wages?
Especially, after a month, no one has tried to trick her, and let her live in such a luxurious house.
"It's yours if I give it to you." Lu Ming waved his hand. This little girl is quite loyal now that she has money.
In fact, looking at Xiuxiu’s patched clothes, you can tell what Kim Mi-yeon wants to do when she drinks lemonade.
"Well, it seems everyone knows you!"
An old man came over to say hello to Meiyan and asked why I haven’t seen you in almost a year?
The boy next to the uncle was blushing even more and kept peeking at Jin Miyan.
Kim Mi-yeon is probably the common dream lover of all the young neighbors in the street.
"Neighbors, who has a better family? Let's go and sit down!" Lu Ming said.
"Okay!" Jin Meiyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She seemed to be afraid of going to the relatives' house where she was staying.
……
The living room with sofa and coffee table, kitchen and bathroom also look good.
Sitting opposite was a middle-aged woman, and Lu Ming was chatting with her.
In fact, as the central area of Beiguan, most civilians here can be said to live in the middle class, and families like Xiuxiu are very few.
For the upcoming parliamentary election, this middle-aged woman is not planning to vote, and she doesn’t even know who the current parliamentarian is in her neighborhood.
You know, a few years ago, that congressman came to the community to shout with a loudspeaker and gave a speech.
But those congressmen have nothing to do with their own lives.
Lu Ming listened and nodded from time to time.
Leaving Jin Meiyan's home called "Aunt Li", Lu Ming pondered and walked slowly out of the community.
Jin Meiyan did not dare to disturb him and followed him obediently.
Lu Ming thought about it. It is normal for the turnout to be low, especially for local elections in big cities. This was also the case in the West in the past. In elections for local councilors, mayors, etc. in big cities, the voter turnout rate was more than ten percent. , around twenty, is the norm.
However, Western scholars believe that theoretically, there is no difference between the results of 20% of voters voting and 80% of voters voting.
Lu Ming looked at Jin Meiyan and smiled: "If you vote for members, how many neighbors can you mobilize?"
Jin Miyan said "Huh?" but didn't know how to answer.
Lu Ming just laughed and said it was actually a joke, but this kind of community canvassing is actually very important to mobilize the neighbors. After all, last year, the turnout rate in the third district was 15%, that is, only three to four thousand voters participated. If you vote and mobilize hundreds of neighbors, it will be a big force.
At this time, he had already walked out of the community and looked at the cars parked next to the broad-leaved green trees at the exit of the community. Lu Ming did not walk over and get in the car. He smiled and said: "Let's go to Xiuxiu's place for a glass of lemonade."
……
In front of the New Era Shopping Mall, a circle of people gathered, and I heard crying inside, which seemed to be Xiu Xiu.
Uncle Sun was in front, and for some reason the people around him moved out of the way. Lu Ming walked in, frowning slightly.
But I saw Xiuxiu crying and cleaning up the broken glasses on the ground. The big thermos bottle was also broken, and the glass was broken a lot. There were pieces on the ground, and lemonade dripped everywhere.
Xiuxiu is picking up the broken glass pieces and putting them into her big foam box.
Besides, stood a middle-aged man, wearing black clothes and trousers, with a pen in his jacket pocket, scolding loudly: "Hurry up and clean up, clean up and leave, I won't fine you this time!"
The onlookers were sighing. Lu Ming frowned and was about to go up and ask.
Jin Meiyan had already hurried in and helped Xiuxiu pick up the glass fragments on the ground. An old man couldn't stand it anymore and asked: "What are you doing? This little girl is selling some water for everyone to drink. You don't care." Do you get it? ”
"She can't sell it without a health license. This is the law, understand?" The middle-aged man looked at the uncle with contempt.
Lu Ming nodded and turned to the health inspector.
I walked in and waved, and a sturdy man immediately came in to help the two little guys clean up. He smiled innocently at them: "Get out of here, you little ones, don't get stuck."
Lu Ming was well-dressed, and even summoned his followers to do lowly things.
The middle-aged man looked at Lu Ming, felt a little guilty, and said, "Okay, hurry up and pack up!" He turned around and wanted to leave.
Lu Ming smiled and said: "Don't leave, tell me your name, you, and you should be the Guibeiguan Health Committee, right? They are all waiting to receive my lawyer's letter."
The middle-aged man was startled, turned around, and said with a forced smile: "Sir, are you a lawyer? Then this joke is not allowed. You understand the law. This little girl does not have a license, and her products do not have health permits. The certificate cannot be sold at a stall, right?"
"You don't need to tell me this. Go to court and tell the judge." Lu Ming didn't bother to pay attention to him and made a gesture.
A beautiful girl in a red skirt stood in front of the middle-aged man, "Where is your ID? Please take it out and I will record it!"
The middle-aged man had no choice but to take out his ID. The girl took it, took out a pamphlet and pen, wrote a few strokes, and returned the ID to him.
"Ah, you are a lawyer!" The old man who had previously accused the man came over tremblingly. He was wearing a traditional green robe. "Mr. Lawyer, I am willing to testify. This man is very fierce. He comes up and... You can ask someone to close the stall, but you can't do that, right? This little girl, let's call her Xiuxiu. I often see her selling lemonade. I'm too old and my teeth are weak. But people say it’s clean, cheap, and delicious, and my grandson loves it very much.”
Lu Ming nodded: "You shouldn't ask people to close the stall." Then he smiled and said: "You always walk here?!"
"Yes, I live behind the mall, across the street from Xiuxiu's neighborhood." The old man pointed to the New Era Mall, where he should live in a two-story building.
"Okay, old man, if I need a witness, I will contact you then and give you your specific address..."
The girl came over again and recorded the old man's address.
Lu Ming thought that there should be no need to go to court for this matter. He would just wait for the committee to send a lawyer to reconcile with him and ask for some money. Witnesses and the like would basically not be needed.
He walked to Xiuxiu who was crying softly. Next to her, Jin Miyan was comforting her.
Lu Ming looked at the girl standing beside him, "Do you have one hundred yuan in cash? Give it to me."
The girl hurriedly opened her briefcase and took out a red banknote.
Lu Ming handed it to Xiuxiu, "Don't ask for these things, buy them later." Without waiting for Xiuxiu to refuse, he said, "I didn't give this to you, they compensated for it, and I will pay more later." If it’s more, I’ll pay it in advance and you’ll be fine.”
Little Xiuxiu, looking at this hundred-dollar bill, she didn't dare to accept it. She just shook her head and wiped her tears.
Lu Ming gave the banknotes to Jin Meiyan.
See again, although the health inspector has left, the crowd is still watching curiously. Some people are probably guessing their identity and whispering among themselves.
Lu Ming looked at the girl next to him and said, "What are we doing here?"
The girl in red was stunned for a moment, and then she realized what she was doing. She raised her slender hands and raised her voice: "Dear neighbors, this is lawyer Lu Qianxing. Lu is running for council in this district and has been working hard to build a fair community and a fair society. !" After saying that, he took the lead in applauding.
In fact, most of the customers who come to Times Mall are not from this constituency, and they all feel confused. However, everyone has a herd effect. The girls applauded, and some big men clapped with them outside. Many people , so he applauded inexplicably.
The two reporters accompanying the car took pictures.
Lu Ming stood smiling in front of the camera. Originally, he was just there to watch, and he brought reporters and so on, just as a backup.
But I didn’t want to, so I actually used it.
