Chen Hong: "You're wrong. He told the clan chief and the village chief that the village's dock would be under his control from now on, and that all the boats in our village would pay him protection money every month."

The villagers objected, which led to the conflict. They pulled out knives right from the start.

At the time, the village chief was afraid I would be beaten, so he stood in front of me to protect me. I really didn't lay a hand on him.

Jacky Du: Don't you really know your place? Do you not know whether you're being stopped from taking action or being protected?

Finally, Chen Hong read and verified the interrogation record, signed it, and left. It was almost midnight before she pulled the village chief and a few others home.

Aunt Guo and the others hadn't gone to sleep yet; they were waiting for them.

"Everyone, go home and get some sleep! Nothing's wrong. We have to get up early to deliver food tomorrow, so just get back to what you were doing!"

After giving his instructions, Chen Hong went back to the backyard to rest.

Over the next two days, villagers went to the police station in batches to be questioned.

Chen Hong knew this matter wouldn't be resolved quickly. There would be plenty of wrangling between the two villages in the future.

During the last two days of her holiday, Chen Hong sent 1,000 jin (500 kg) of honey to Beijing.

He secretly fried the fresh tea leaves that had been stored at home for a long time.

We released several batches of fish, shrimp, and crab fry into the sea, caught sea cucumbers while diving, and harvested abalone and geoduck clams.

It also released a large amount of space water, improving the quality of the seawater.

She didn't sell any of these seafood; she kept them all in her space to give to relatives and friends and for her own family to eat.

The incident remained unresolved even after the holiday ended. Chen Hong delivered meals to the hospital a few times, but didn't concern herself with anything else.

During this time, Hou Lin asked Chen Hong if he needed to ask his comrades to look into the matter. Chen Hong told him that this was a village matter and that it had to be resolved by the villagers themselves.

The next day was the start of school, and Chen Hong took Yu Yang back to Jinan.

After dropping her child off at school, she first went to check on the renovation progress of the large apartment.

Amidst the swirling dust, construction was underway everywhere. The ground was covered with building materials, making it impossible to step on anything.

After briefly checking the progress, I left two boxes of dried fish and oysters for the workers and then went to visit Uncle Wang and Uncle Liu.

Geoduck, sea cucumber, and abalone were packed and iced, and two boxes were delivered to each of the two businesses.

After picking up the child from school on time, the mother and child went home together.

Yu Yang has resumed his school routine. In addition to cooking and picking up the child every day, Chen Hong also has to go to the construction site and keep an eye on things back in her hometown.

She also had three online classes a week, so the first two weeks were quite busy. That day, she had just packed a few boxes of seafood for her brother and sent him off when she heard a knock on the door.

When Chen Hong opened the door, she had a bad feeling; her cousin and his wife from her aunt's side had arrived.

"Hey, Brother Dazhu, what brings you here?"

Chen Hong welcomed her cousin and his wife into the house, offered them cigarettes and tea, and chatted about trivial things for an hour without getting to the point.

They chatted about everything from when the children were toddlers to their marriage and children starting school, but the couple still didn't reveal why they had come to visit.

Chen Hong wasn't in a hurry. She knew in her heart that this cousin was a night owl who only came to the house when he had nothing to do.

And it definitely won't be anything good; even if something good happened, it wouldn't be her turn!

It was almost four o'clock, and Chen Hong started checking her watch, her intention to see the guests off was obvious.

"Brother Dazhu, sister-in-law, I'm about to go out to pick up the kids. Let's go out together."

My cousin's wife secretly tugged at my cousin's collar, "Didn't you say you needed to see Chen Hong? Hurry up and say it! Didn't you see Chen Hong was about to leave?"

Chen Hong remained silent, calmly watching the couple's performance. She disliked her aunt's family the most; they never spoke their minds directly.

They don't even have the proper attitude when asking for help; they beat around the bush and make the other person bring it up first.

It's as if others were begging them to help. They're far more cunning than honeycomb briquettes.

Even the phrase "a heart with seven orifices" cannot compare to it; it can only be compared to a beehive!

My cousin remained silent for five minutes. Seeing that Chen Hong wasn't asking about their purpose, he finally couldn't hold back any longer and said to Chen Hong with a mysterious look:

"Chen Hong, if we weren't cousins, I definitely wouldn't have told you this."

Let me tell you, a friend introduced me to a business that can make you a fortune. The income is huge, with profits of 40% to 50%.

They use jujube leaves to make a health-promoting tea! This tea treats insomnia, excessive dreaming, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and high blood sugar!

It can help with weight loss, and also treat heart disease, lung disease, stomach disease, and liver disease. It's effective, sells out quickly, and is in high demand!

The developer is trying to attract investment! The more money invested, the more income and profit they will generate.

Look, I invested 20,000 last month, and I got 8,000 back in interest alone.

I've invested all my principal and interest this month, and I'm sure I'll earn over ten thousand by the end of the month.

I was out of money, and when I told your sister-in-law, I remembered you.

You've got money, right? Listen to me, invest a hundred or two hundred thousand, and you'll make back four or five hundred thousand by the end of the month.

This rate of return is much better than putting money in the bank!

Chen Hong: Who are you kidding? Jujube leaves can be used to make tea, but you can't produce a batch every month and make a profit in a month-long cycle.

This is a typical case of illegal fundraising! Those who fall for it are all extremely greedy people.

Chen Hong's eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly, "Wow, cousin, you're making so much money now?"

That's so enviable! You must have earned hundreds of thousands this year! That's amazing!

Hey bro, I need to ask you something! When you make a fortune, can you lend me some money?

I won't borrow too much, just give me a million to tide me over. You don't know, I've bought these two houses and a car.

I was misled by the agent when I bought the house, thinking that paying off the loan would be easy. Now that I'm unemployed, the monthly mortgage and car loan payments are suffocating me.
