"I'll get better soon and go find him to get revenge, help Brother Tang teach him a good lesson," Qian Fei said, clenching his fists at Tang Ge in the next bed.
Hearing this, Brother Tang was also furious and wanted to hit someone. Today's humiliation was the most embarrassing of his life.
"I'll repay this insult tomorrow. He wants to make money in Nancheng, right? I won't let him have his way," Tang Ge had thought of his next plan and started looking forward to the look of pain on Zhang Liunian's face when he found out the braised pork rice shop couldn't survive.
He wanted to make Zhang Liunian unable to get by in Nancheng, wanted him to beg for forgiveness on his knees, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to quell his hatred.
Qian Fei, seeing his goal achieved, hid the excitement in his eyes. Zhang Liunian, your good days are truly over.
It was just a pity that Ding Xiaoyue didn't do anything to him either, which also surprised him greatly.
Recalling two months ago, Zhang Liunian was still a weakling. After not seeing him for two months, Ding Xiaoyue was no match for him.
What had he experienced in these two months?
Thinking of this, Qian Fei's eyes darted around, and he said again, "I heard his business is doing well, earning over a thousand yuan a day."
Hearing this, Brother Tang became even more enraged, "Over a thousand yuan? He won't earn a single cent immediately. This Nancheng is my territory, and he still wants to make a fortune? Dreaming!"
"Exactly, Nancheng is your territory, Brother Tang. How can he do so well here? We absolutely cannot let him get away with it," Qian Fei immediately agreed.
Brother Tang didn't catch the meaning behind his words and suddenly thought of something, looking at Qian Fei and asking, "How is that Li Qi? Is he still helping us with him?"
Mentioning Li Qi, a gloomy expression appeared on Qian Fei's face. "No, his father is keeping an eye on him and won't let him help us."
"Useless! All of you are useless! What good are you to me?" Tang Ge was very angry and then ignored Qian Fei, as in his mind, Qian Fei was now worthless.
"Brother Liunian, why don't you come back with me and talk to my dad?" Du Ziteng was about to get out of the car at the county town exit but suddenly thought of something and made a spontaneous decision.
Zhang Liunian blinked and looked up at the sky. There was still some time. "Let's go!" Since he had made up his mind, there was no difference between today and tomorrow.
Upon arriving at the kiln, Du Zhan welcomed them warmly. Upon learning that Zhang Liunian had agreed to take over the kiln, he immediately took Zhang Liunian to tour the entire factory.
"Here is one thousand yuan. The kiln and all the inventory inside are mine."
After viewing the Du family's kiln, Zhang Liunian and Du Zhan estimated that the kiln and goods were worth about one thousand yuan.
Zhang Liunian was straightforward and immediately took out the money and placed it in front of Du Zhan.
The latter excitedly took it and tried to return two hundred yuan, "It's not that much, eight hundred is enough."
Zhang Liunian refused, "We agreed on one thousand, so it's one thousand. However, I hope you can still manage this kiln for me. You don't need to worry about orders, just keep an eye on the factory and ensure it produces and operates well."
"You mean you want to hire me as the factory manager?" Before Du Zhan could speak, he heard such good news and immediately wanted to give Zhang Liunian a big hug.
"That's right. You be the factory manager for me. The salary will temporarily be sixty yuan a month. Regarding the workers, you can rehire those who were dismissed, and their wages will be five yuan more than their original prices.
Hire the people back tomorrow and start producing green bricks and grey tiles immediately..."
Zhang Liunian confirmed his words and then began to assign tasks.
The order from Nancheng Food Factory would come in the next few days. He had to get the factory operating immediately, otherwise, he was afraid it would cause delays.
"Okay, I'll go find them tomorrow. But do we need to produce so urgently? Is it necessary to be in such a hurry?" Du Zhan excitedly promised to do as he said tomorrow.
There was just one thing he was unsure about, which was why Zhang Liunian wanted him to find people and start production tomorrow.
They didn't have any orders now, and no matter how much they produced, it wouldn't sell!
"You just manage the production, and I'll handle the orders tomorrow," Zhang Liunian did not mention the matter of Nancheng Food Factory to him, waved his hand, and got up to leave.
Upon returning home, Zhang Liunian saw Wang Xiaoe leading Zhang Liujie in the educated youth spot, trying to carry Su Jie back, while Jiang Qingqing disagreed and blocked the courtyard with Zhang Xiaomei and her husband.
"She's our Zhang family's daughter-in-law. If we want to carry her back, we will. We don't need an outsider like you to interfere." Wang Xiaoe had been in a particularly bad mood since she stopped selling crayfish in the county town.
If it weren't for the village head and party secretary intervening yesterday when Su Jie was divorcing her eldest son, their family would never have agreed.
Last night, after Su Jie went to Jiang Qingqing's house, their family held a meeting. After much deliberation, they decided the marriage could not be annulled.
This was partly because Wang Xiaoe was reluctant to spend money for her son to remarry, and partly because Su Jie had been easy to bully over the years, with no family to support her, and was at their family's mercy.
After thinking it through, their family came to Jiang Qingqing's house after work in the afternoon to take Su Jie back.
But how could Su Jie agree? She had lost her child, and only then did she get the divorce certificate. How could she go back?
Jiang Qingqing, after learning about Su Jie's past life, also understood her choice and unhesitatingly blocked Wang Xiaoe, "You have no relationship now, and Su Jie is no longer your daughter-in-law. You've come to the wrong place."
Wang Xiaoe put her hands on her hips and glared at Jiang Qingqing, "Don't think that just because your family is making money and running a factory, you can be arrogant. It's none of your business that we're picking up our daughter-in-law. Move aside immediately, or don't blame me for being rude."
Seeing someone who was previously inferior to her suddenly living better than her was something not everyone could accept, at least Wang Xiaoe was someone who could never accept it.
She hadn't acted before simply because she wasn't as extreme as Tu Meili and had no excuse.
Now that Jiang Qingqing had taken in Su Jie, it was clearly a challenge to her, so she naturally found an excuse to explode.
"How rude do you want to be? Su Jie and your son have already obtained their divorce certificates, and you're still pestering them. Do you want me to call the village head and the others over?" Jiang Qingqing was not to be trifled with either. She was soft before because she owed debts, but now she owed no one, so she naturally didn't need to swallow her pride.
Wang Xiaoe gritted her teeth, looking at the suddenly strong Jiang Qingqing, "This is our family matter, and we don't need outsiders to interfere. Jiang Qingqing, for Liunian's sake, I'll say it one last time: move aside, or we'll take action. If you get hurt, it will be your own fault."
After Wang Xiaoe finished her harsh words, she found that Jiang Qingqing hadn't moved an inch and immediately looked at her eldest son, "Liujie, go carry your wife home yourself."
Zhang Liujie stepped forward and met Jiang Qingqing's gaze, feeling a little uneasy, as everyone in the village knew how formidable Zhang Liunian was. Especially his attention to Jiang Qingqing, which everyone had seen.
If Jiang Qingqing were to get hurt in a conflict, their family might be the next Zhang Liuhuo family.
Thinking of this, Zhang Liujie stopped and looked at his mother, "Mom... maybe we should just forget it?"
"Useless thing, what are you afraid of? Even if Zhang Liunian is here, we are still in the right. Who asked him to interfere in our family matters? He deserves to be beaten if he gets beaten." Wang Xiaoe saw her eldest son, who usually obeyed her, hesitate at a critical moment, and felt a sense of disappointment.
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Liunian's voice sounded from behind her, "Is that so?"
