Zong Jia chuckled lightly, "This isn't called being love-struck; it's called being unable to judge people and lacking clear judgment."

Jiang Xiaoli tilted her head and looked at him, "Ayu, what will you do if I run away with your money in the future?"

He paused for a moment, then calmly replied, "Nothing, I'll wait for you to come back."

"Wait for me to come back? Please, I've already run off with all the money!" she emphasized.

Zong Jia smiled and said, "Little Pear, I believe no one is better to you than me. After you wander around in the outside world, you will still come back to my side."

Now it was her turn to be stunned, then she burst out laughing, "Ayu, this is a bit like waiting for a rabbit to run into a tree stump!"

At the red light, Zong Jia reached out and ruffled her hair. "Little bunny, where are we going now?"

Jiang Xiaoli thought for a moment and said, "Hmm... let's go check out our steamed bun shop's main branch."

"good."

They wandered around outside all day and ate dinner outside before going home.

Dafu was clearing away the dishes. "Oh, you two are back? Have you eaten?"

Jiang Xiaoli nodded with a smile, "I've eaten, I've eaten. Brother Dafu, didn't you go to the Second Factory? You're back so early?"

“Yes,” Dafu explained, “now the road to the branch factory is all paved, so it’s very fast to go back and forth.”

"Looks like the higher-ups are really looking out for us big taxpayers!"

"That's right, we're now one of the top companies in the province!" Dafu said proudly.

Li Guizhi chimed in with a smile, "Yes, I went back to our old house today, and now everyone thinks working at 'Jiang Li Ji' is the best! It pays more and is more stable than a regular job!"

"You've gone back to the old house?" Jiang Xiaoli asked with concern. "They haven't caused any more trouble, have they?"

The "they" refers to Li Guizhi's family members.

"No!" Li Guizhi waved her hand. "I've already made myself very clear. In order to keep their current jobs, they wouldn't dare to do anything reckless again."

Her family members are typical bullies who prey on the weak and only want to use kinship to manipulate her.

After several attempts to resolve the issue, Li Guizhi cut off the elderly couple's living expenses and threatened, "If you dare to misbehave in Xiaoli's name again, I will make sure your whole family loses their jobs!"

At first, the Li family didn't take it seriously and continued to do as they pleased, using Jiang Xiaoli's name to sell their homemade "Jiang Li Ji" food products.

After receiving the news, Li Guizhi immediately called the police. Her brother, Li Fengnian, tried many methods but failed to save his job.

After that, the Li family completely quieted down.

They finally realized that their once gentle daughter/sister was no longer the person they could manipulate at will.

Jiang Xiaoli nodded, "It's good that they didn't cause any trouble, Mom. Don't worry, I've asked someone to keep an eye on things. Grandma and Grandpa are both in good health, so you don't need to worry."

Li Guizhi looked at Xu Feng and said, "Look at her, Xiao Li is such a worrywart!"

Xu Feng patted her hand, "Stop showing off! Xiao Li is just worried that if something really happens to the two elders, you'll have regrets."

“Yes, I know,” Li Guizhi said with a smile.

The two women started chatting, and Zongjia and the others took Dafu home.

Dafu was a little puzzled. "What's wrong? Is there something we can't say at home?"

Jiang Xiaoli shrugged. "It's convenient to vent here."

After saying that, she called Zhong Yuan, "Brother Yuan, let's have a quick meeting!"

Zhong Yuan laughed, "What, what big commotion did you guys cause back in Xijing?"

Zong Jia got straight to the point, "It's about the pumpkin. I'd like to ask for your opinions."

Both Dafu and the other person on the phone fell silent.

Jiang Xiaoli began to explain, "It's like this..."

Dafu remained silent, but Zhong Yuan couldn't hold back any longer. "I'm telling you, how can Su Xiaoxiao be so shameless! Doesn't she even know where those two coins in her pocket came from?!"

Zong Jia said calmly, "It's immoral, but it's legal."

Zhong Yuan felt a lump in his throat, unable to rise or fall.

Dafu slammed his fist on the sofa, "What a coward!"

Jiang Xiaoli pursed her lips and said, "That's the situation. Do you want to help him?"

Zhong Yuan said defiantly, "He brought this whole mess upon himself! Why should we help him?"

Dafu sighed and said, "We want to help him, but he has to prove himself!"

Zong Jiayu thought for a moment and said, "I just called a lawyer and he said that in his current situation, the most urgent thing is to have a stable job so that he and his child can make a living."

Zhong Yuan was the first to speak, "Brother Zong, let me make this clear first: I don't agree to him coming to 'Yu Jia Technology'!"

Dafu thought for a moment, "Even if we want to help him, let's not get involved ourselves, it'll be awkward. Leave this to me. 'Jiang Li Ji' has plenty of suppliers and partners, I can easily find someone to help him find a job."

“Okay,” Zong Jia and Ye said. “Then I’ll find someone to talk to Su Xiaoxiao’s family. What’s with this endless bullying? Seriously.”

Jiang Xiaoli listened to the three of them discussing their strategy and nodded silently.

The three of them are loyal and affectionate, but not saintly.

Zhong Yuan concluded his phone call by saying, "Sigh, I hope he can take good care of himself and his child in the future and start over."

They acted quickly. Su Xiaoxiao's family was a typical bully who preyed on the weak. After learning that Zong Jiayu was still keeping an eye on Pumpkin and had found someone to back him up, she decisively sent the child back.

Pumpkin also "coincidentally" helped a human resources manager at a farm, unintentionally obtaining a stable job.

While Zong Jia and his team were doing these things, news came about the land acquisition for the old "Jiang Li Ji" factory area.
