"To be honest with you, I've been working alone for years. But I found that firstly, my physical strength couldn't keep up, and secondly, there was no room for growth. The heavy labor day after day would wear down one's fighting spirit. When Fei Xiuxiu approached me, she said she wanted to cooperate. It's my fault for being out of touch with the world for so many years. Who knew that Little Sun had changed its mind? I thought she had persuaded Director Xie. Later I found out that she wanted to pull the mountain out of the mountains herself," Master Zheng said with a wry smile.

“You should understand Director Fei’s personality. In every aspect, she lacks flexibility and is rigid. Right now, before you’ve even started cooperating, she’ll definitely go along with you in every way. But once things develop, you know what the consequences will be.” Qin Xiaoyu needed to analyze the situation clearly.

"You're wrong. It's not that she'll be disobedient to me in the future; she's already disobedient to me now. Haha." Master Zheng was amused by her.

“That’s true, if I went along with you, I wouldn’t be Director Fei.” Qin Xiaoyu couldn’t help but laugh.

"There's just one thing: she's suffered a lot these past years." Master Zheng's expression turned serious again.

"you mean?"

"Cooperation is possible, but I need to convince her. I won't abandon her to cooperate with you. I haven't started a family all these years because I've been waiting for her. We're getting old, and if I don't cherish her now, I'll really have nothing left."

Master Zheng has presented a truly perplexing problem. Qin Xiaoyu knew she absolutely had to bring that mother and daughter together.

"Do you know when I decided to work with you?" Master Zheng asked later.

"When?" Qin Xiaoyu really didn't know.

"When you poured water on me with the hose, I knew this woman was destined for great things."

Qin Xiaoyu thought, how many things in this world happen by accident? She certainly had her share.

After returning from the provincial capital, Captain Chen immediately went to the construction site of Qin Xiaoyu's new house. He set up temporary sheds, gathered thirty people, and worked on both sites simultaneously.

Qin Xiaoyu would come to check on things every now and then, and once she arrived, she didn't want to leave. She was filled with longing for the days to come.

Seeing Qi Si's car approaching from afar, Qin Xiaoyu went to greet it. Qi Si also cared a lot about this house and had already asked someone to pull strings to start dredging the river. Soon the dried-up river would be filled with water, and the banks would be full of life, even more pleasant than they were now.

Qi Si wasn't the only one who got off the car; Wang Da Niang, who looked very unhappy, also got off.

"Godmother, how could you bear to come and see me?" Qin Xiaoyu teased.

"I heard you're going to build a house, and you even saved two rooms for me. Did you get my permission?" Aunt Wang never spoke properly; she was always so stubborn.

"Can we ask now?" Qin Xiaoyu said with a grin.

"Such a big project, and you didn't even ask me to look at the foundation before starting construction. You're a bit silly, kid." Aunt Wang took out her compass, ignored them, and began to measure the ground.

Qin Xiaoyu and Qi Si had no choice but to step aside and wait for her to come over.

"Girl, you're in for trouble. I was getting someone to dredge the river, and that's how the news of building a house leaked out. Several friends have told me that they want you to build another house because they want to buy it," Qi Si said mysteriously, pulling Qin Xiaoyu aside.

"That's only a matter of time. If anyone asks, just say there's no rush, we need to get the infrastructure all set up, and tell them to wait."

"What is infrastructure?" Qi Si scratched his head.

"A good residential area needs to have surrounding facilities such as hospitals and schools."

"That thing, you think we can move it?" Qi Si was startled. He knew this girl was wild, but this was wild to an extreme, it was a bit scary.

"If you want to do it, you can do it; it will happen soon. Look at that residential area over there; because it's multi-story buildings, the utilization rate of each unit area is high, and the residents are much more densely packed than before. As a result, the original primary and junior high schools won't be big enough. We'll soon be facing a baby boom, and schools will need to expand. The government will consider building new schools. As for hospitals, with the development of medical care, hospitals are becoming more and more profitable. Finding a good location to build a new building is easy, isn't it?"

"Girl, what are you saying? Hospitals make money? This is all public healthcare; prescriptions are free. What's there to make money from?"

"Brother, we don't have many good years left." Qin Xiaoyu shook her head helplessly.

"You silly girl, this is really strange. How come the house you built with just a random point is in a better location than the one I painstakingly measured? Are you some kind of reincarnation?" Aunt Wang came over with a compass, her face full of astonishment.

"She's practically a pig's head, look at how much she can eat, yet she's never fat." Qi Si's skin itched again.

"I am a pig, and you are Marshal Tianpeng!"

"What is Marshal Tianpeng?" Qi Si wasn't pretending to be stupid; he was genuinely stupid. Ignorance is truly terrifying.

"Alright, have your brother take me back. I'm not staying in these two rooms; you can give them to whoever you want." Aunt Wang was as arrogant as ever.

"Godmother, you can't not come. Let me tell you, my brother's mother-in-law is a real troublemaker. If you don't come and keep her in check, will my brother have a good life?" Qin Xiaoyu brought in reinforcements, and it really worked. Aunt Wang's eyes lit up.

"This is outrageous! How dare she cause trouble again?"

"What's there to be afraid of? Look at that lamp, it's easy to handle!"

"If it weren't for the fact that her daughter had twins, I would have dealt with them both long ago."

"That's right, for the sake of your two grandsons, you have to come and take charge, don't you?"

"Is that so? Then I'll tidy up the house when I have time. Can I move in by the end of the year?"

"I can move it, please carry it!" Qin Xiaoyu thought to herself after seeing Aunt Wang off, "If Director Fei were this easy to talk to, I would be so happy."

She drove her car into the yard of the garment factory and saw Zhou Yue running down from upstairs.

"Quick, to the hospital! Factory Director Xie has fallen!"

Qin Xiaoyu's head throbbed. Master Xu had just suffered a stroke, and now this guy had fallen. What was he trying to do?

They rushed over, but Xie Lanhua was still in the treatment room.

"Where did you fall?" Qin Xiaoyu finally remembered to ask the important question.

"He missed a step on the stairs and tumbled down. I just found out; I went out to buy books and only heard about it when I got back to the factory. It was delivered by a worker." Zhou Yue didn't know the specifics either and was anxiously pacing around.

After a while, Xie Lanhua was wheeled out by the nurse. When Qin Xiaoyu saw her face, she felt a little uneasy. What was that colorful thing?

"The patient mainly has superficial injuries, mostly abrasions. It doesn't seem like there's a concussion. Let's keep her in the hospital for observation for a day. She can be discharged if everything is fine," the doctor explained to Qin Xiaoyu.

"I need to be admitted to the intensive care unit. Get me an oxygen machine quickly." Xie Lanhua's mouth was swollen and her speech was a little unclear, but Qin Xiaoyu heard her clearly. The two exchanged a glance and understood everything.

This is a ruse, a self-inflicted injury.

Less than an hour later, a wail was heard in the corridor. Director Fei rushed into the intensive care unit and saw the various tubes on Xie Lanhua's body. His legs went weak and he almost fainted. He threw himself on her and burst into tears.
