He Wenlin asked Yang Gangyong to take He Wenhua, Xia Lijuan, and Xu Haibo back to the Caijiang Village fast food restaurant first, and then she would go back to the food factory.

As soon as He Wenlin got out of the car, she saw the Yu family leave in their car.

"Dad, the Yu family is here?" He Wenlin asked.

Mr. He nodded and said, "They've arrived. They bought these things, brought a new mobile phone, and gave two thousand yuan. The parents' attitude is quite good. I've already agreed to issue a letter of understanding for Linlin."

At this point, fearing that He Wenlin would blame him, Mr. He immediately explained, "I called Officer Liao and asked. He said that in this situation, the girl surnamed Yu is unlikely to be sent to a juvenile detention center because she is not yet an adult and is under sixteen years old. Most importantly, it was her first time, and you were not injured or anything happened. So at most, she will only be given a reprimand. Therefore, I thought it would be better to settle this privately."

He Wenlin understood everything her father said. When she said she wouldn't forgive him yesterday, it was just an angry outburst, and she was also trying to scare him. Sometimes the juvenile protection law is disgusting.

But there's nothing we can do about it.

Yu Xiaoqiao's family doesn't seem to be well-off. She's spent over three thousand yuan at once, so she'll probably get a good beating when she gets home!

Grandma He added, "Her parents agreed to the girl transferring schools, so she won't be in the same school as you anymore. If anyone bullies you, the new student, when you come back, you have to tell us."

Yu Xiaoqiao's grades were poor, and after this incident, her classmates all called her a thief. She couldn't stay at her current school unless she transferred.

“These kinds of people are extremely rare,” He Wenlin said. “What about the other four?”

"That's not the first time those four have done this, especially the three adults; they'll definitely be detained for a while. Compared to them, the Yu family's parents are doing alright. The parents of those four bastards didn't even show their faces. Damn it, what kind of trash did they raise!"

After saying that, Mr. He spat out a curse, thinking to himself that if this were his child, he would have hung him up and beaten him long ago!

"Linlin, you said you'd put a burlap sack over it last time, are you still going to do it?" Xu Haibo asked.

"Let's forget about Yu Xiaoqiao, she's a money-making machine." He Wenlin waved the mobile phone and cash in her hand. "We don't need to put a sack over her head, but we can go and thank her."

I'm grateful to her for enabling me to earn money and get a mobile phone.

I'll make her furious!

"But I'll get my revenge on that blond guy who attacked me!"

Although He Shan and Grandma He beat her up, I didn't get a chance to hit her myself, which is a bit of a regret. Of course, if she hadn't been released, that would have been fine, since I don't have the ability to go in and beat someone up.

He Wenlin gave the two thousand yuan in cash to her father.

The fast food restaurant has been having a bad time lately, and since most of the customers are using vouchers issued by the factory before the Lunar New Year, there's been virtually no cash inflow. But we still need money to buy groceries.

Mr. and Mrs. He have basically passed the test. At least they won't keep asking He Wenlin for her bank card anymore, and they will give her the full amount of payment when they receive the goods.

They dutifully collected their wages and accepted the gifts He Wenlin gave them.

Therefore, He Wenlin will gradually relinquish power to her parents.

...

He Wenlin went to the food factory with Yang Gangyong.

Upon arriving at the food factory, He Wenlin looked at the recent performance report, and it was truly a dismal situation.

Performance has been declining.

Fortunately, from the day He Wenlin set her goal to the Lantern Festival, the food factory achieved a sales volume of over 1.7 million yuan in two and a half months.

Although the target of two million was not achieved, this number is still quite astonishing!

What does 1.7 million mean in 2001?

At that time, the price of gold was not even over $100.

Vegetables cost only a few cents per pound.

When they heard the news, Grandma He, Dad He, and Mom He couldn't sleep all night; they were so excited and thrilled...

Currently, the combined outstanding payments from Gongxiao Supermarket and Wankelai amount to over 800,000 yuan.

He Wenlin doesn't actually have much money right now, because the cash that fast food restaurants, breakfast shops, and small business owners pay to the food factory for goods has all been put into the factory's account. Otherwise, where would she get the money to buy raw materials and produce so many goods?

Now, as long as Wankelai and the supply and marketing supermarkets receive their payments smoothly, He Wenlin can get another loan, which will allow her to speed up the construction of her house in Caijiang Village and her factory in Hengling, and she can even start renovations.

She used all the money she made from selling clothes and shoes at her stall during the Chinese New Year to pay salaries.

We're really broke right now.

Ring ring~

He Wenlin's phone rang.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Zheng Juan's phone call.

"Boss Zheng."

"Mr. He, do you have a moment?"

"Please speak."

"This is the place we just came across, these three storefronts in a row, are you interested?"

"The place we just met... Boss Zheng, if I remember correctly, it was an old house, a tiled house."

"Although it's a tile-roofed house, the location is great. It's right across from the vegetable market, on the side of the main road, and next to the bridge. People from the other side of the river also come here to buy vegetables. The location is really good, and the area is spacious. There are actually six rooms in total, three storefronts in the front and three living rooms in the back. Oh, and each storefront also has an attic. If you want to rent it out, it will cost at least four or five hundred yuan a month!"

"With such a great location, why did the original owner sell it?"

"To tell you the truth, the original owner lost too much money gambling and was selling the house to pay off his debts. He was in a hurry to sell, so the price isn't high. We're old acquaintances, so if you want to buy it, I'll give you a fixed price of 180,000!"

"What's the total area?"

"It's 110 square meters in total, including the storefront and the residence. 180,000 is not expensive. If it's all rented out, the annual rent would be close to 20,000."

"I'll come and take a look first."

"Okay, I'll wait for you here."

He Wenlin immediately called for her mother and asked them to go look at the storefront together.

Aunt He looked surprised: "Looking for a shop? Where would we get the money right now? Did the supermarket get the payment back?"

"Not yet, let's go take a look first, and if it's feasible, we'll make a decision."

He Wenlin doesn't have any money in her account right now. If all goes well, she won't receive the payment until Tuesday or Wednesday. Today is only Saturday.

"Where?"

"It's diagonally opposite the Hengling Vegetable Market."

"Hengling? That place is too remote. How much does it cost?"

"Shout 180,000."

Mrs. He exclaimed in surprise, "So expensive! I didn't see any good houses over there, and they're all so expensive!!!"

"The three rooms facing the road are the storefront, and the three rooms behind are for living. There is also an attic in the storefront, which adds up to more than 100 square meters. It costs less than 2,000 yuan per square meter. However, the house is poor, and it is a tiled house, but the location is good."

Don't be fooled by the fact that this is the countryside. In two or three years, there will be more and more factories here, and migrant workers will also rent houses here because the rent is cheap due to its remoteness.

A supply and marketing supermarket will also open across the street. He Wenlin can't remember exactly when it opened, but in her previous life, in 2005, when she came to a colleague's house for dinner, the supermarket was already there.

A large floating population makes it a good place to do business.

It's the off-season now, so Yang Gangyong isn't busy. He Wenlin asked him to drive her and her mother to Hengling again.
