Song Xingzhi's body stiffened, and then he quickly apologized.

"Sister Chunxue, I was wrong. Is that okay?" He reached out and took Zhang Chunxue's hand. "I just said that. Besides, academic qualifications don't mean anything..."

"Even though Sister Haruyuki can't read a single word, she's still incredibly powerful!"

Zhang Chunxue couldn't help but roll her eyes. "If I can't read a single word, then Director Song will have to teach me a lesson."

Song Xingzhi immediately laughed dryly: "I was really wrong... Sister Chunxue, please stop bullying me!"

He took Zhang Chunxue's hand and placed it on his face: "Sister Chunxue, please forgive me..."

Zhang Chunxue blushed: "Stop it! The children are still here!"

Zhou Mingli had already returned to her room with Zhong Yuanyuan in her arms, smiling, and Song Yanze was rubbing his arms vigorously.

"I got goosebumps all over the floor!"

Zhong Xiaoxiao raised her hand and hit him on the back of the head: "You should also go and wash up quickly so that you can sleep with Xiao Shen!"

She pulled Song Yanze's clothes and went to the kitchen together.

Song Xingzhi then looked at Zhang Chunxue innocently: "They are all gone now."

Zhang Chunxue was both angry and amused: "You!"

Her expression became serious again: "There is something I need to tell you."

She and Song Xingzhi returned to the room and told him their speculations about Zhang Dashun today.

Song Xingzhi frowned upon hearing this: "Could he really dare to do such a thing?"

Zhang Chunxue shook her head. "As the saying goes, destroying someone's financial resources is like killing their parents. Now that it's revenge for his father's murder, it's no surprise he's capable of anything."

Song Xingzhi couldn't help laughing: "Sister Chunxue, your metaphor is really wonderful..."

However, since Zhang Chunxue had this concern, he couldn't take it lightly.

"I'll have someone keep an eye on Zhang Dashun and his family tomorrow," he said in a steady voice, reassuring. "If they do anything unusual, I'll have someone notify you immediately."

Zhang Chunxue shook her head. "If he really wants to do something, he might not do it himself..."

Song Xingzhi's brow furrowed even more tightly. "What should we do? There's no such thing as guarding against thieves for a thousand days!"

Zhang Chunxue thought for a moment and said, "I'm planning to set a trap and lure you right in."

The two of them started discussing in silence.

Zhang Chunxue actually wanted Zhang Dashun to come and do something, so that he could legitimately close down Zhang Dashun's stall and hand over the business in the town to Zhou Mingli.

She shared her idea with Song Xingzhi.

Song Xingzhi pondered for a moment and said, "It's fine to let Mingli do business in town. It will also be more convenient for her to take care of the children. Then, when you go to the county, Sister Chunxue, you don't have to take Yuanyuan with you."

Zhang Chunxue originally thought that Song Xingzhi might think her idea was a little too vicious, but she didn't expect that Song Xingzhi actually supported her.

What she didn't expect was that Song Xingzhi was still giving her advice.

"I can have someone go to Zhang Dashun's stall and do something, like buy some of his braised dishes, try a little, and then return them because they think they're not as good as yours."

"Or, for example, deliberately provoking him by saying that he's been making braised dishes for so long but still can't make as much money as someone who just opened a stall..." Song Xingzhi shrugged. "After all, isn't he worried about making money right now?"

"Being stimulated like this, even if he originally didn't want to do anything, he couldn't help but want to do something."

Zhang Chunxue looked at him in shock. "Wow, your behavior... I never knew you were such a ruthless person."

Song Xingzhi smiled shyly: "Generally speaking, I'm a nice person. As long as others don't provoke me, I'm fine."

He added, "You can't mess with Haruyuki-nee or anyone else I care about."

Zhang Chunxue was really surprised.

After all, Song Xingzhi has been in the village for so many years, and everyone just thinks that he is very cold in terms of emotions. He handles official business in a businesslike manner and cares a lot about interpersonal relationships.

Overall, he is still a good person in everyone's mind.

Zhang Chunxue finally discovered that this person was actually a bit mean and evil.

He is not a rigid person, nor is he someone who would restrict himself by rules and dogmas.

He can even give up some bottom line for the people he cares about.

For example, tempting Zhang Dashun to do bad things on his own initiative.

Zhang Chunxue held Song Xingzhi's face in her hands and said, "Xingzhi, I really miss you more and more."

Song Xingzhi's eyes sparkled: "Then Sister Chunxue has to like me more and more."

Zhang Chunxue blushed: "I mean rare."

Song Xingzhi smiled softly: "In my mind, these two words mean the same thing..."

Zhang Chunxue coughed lightly and said, "Let's continue talking about how to lure someone into a trap!"

The two chatted for most of the night, and finally went to bed after Song Xingzhi's constant hints.

The next morning, Zhou Mingli was going to work at the hospital, and Song Xingzhi also went to the brigade headquarters. Zhang Chunxue left Zhong Yuanyuan in the care of Zhong Xiaoxiao, and took the two brothers Song Yanze and Song Yanshen to the meat processing plant.

In the hot summer, in order to ensure the freshness of the ingredients, she has to buy the freshest ones every day.

To Zhang Chunxue's surprise, she also met Zhang Dashun while she was at the meat processing plant.

Zhang Suanjia was obviously here to buy food as well. When he saw Zhang Chunxue, his face darkened and he started to speak in a sarcastic tone.

"Oh, isn't that Widow Zhang? Business is pretty good, isn't it? You come to the meat processing factory so early in the morning to buy things?"

He pretended to be enlightened again: "Oh, I heard that Widow Zhang got married again? You better be careful, don't become a widow again."

When Song Yanze heard this, his face changed and he immediately wanted to get angry.

What does this damn bastard mean? Cursing his second uncle?

Zhang Chunxue smiled faintly: "Don't worry, I have been a widow once, and I won't do it again."

"As for your wife, you need to be careful and not become a widow."

Now it was Zhang Dashun's turn to change his expression.

Song Yanze was almost applauding his second aunt.

Well done! It's about giving someone a taste of their own medicine.

Zhang Dashun looked at Zhang Chunxue fiercely: "You really are sharp-tongued!"

Zhang Chunxue smiled again: "Not only am I good at cooking, but I can also make delicious braised food. If Boss Zhang doesn't mind, you can go to my stall this afternoon and buy some to try."

These words were simply heartbreaking. Zhang Dashun was so angry that he was shaking all over. He pointed at Zhang Chunxue and kept calling her "you, you, you" for a long time, but he couldn't come up with any reason.

However, Zhang Chunxue didn't let him go so easily. His smile grew even brighter. "Speaking of which, I came to the meat processing factory early in the morning to buy ingredients because business is good... Boss Zhang, your business should be average. What are you doing here?"
