Synopsis: Xu Shanshan was born deep in the mountains, where roads and minds were both closed off. Her parents, who hadn't given birth to a son, were called "childless," while the alluri...

Chapter 2626【VIP】

When they left the village, the Xu brothers were so arrogant, bragging to everyone they met and even saying they would bring back a big TV. But just one day later, the group returned to the village in disgrace. Seeing how dirty they were, the villagers laughed at them in secret.

Someone even deliberately asked, "Xu Lao Er, where's the big color TV your in-laws gave you?"

Xu Laoer remained silent, but he was still angry. He went back to his room and beat Zhao Xiaohe up. In his opinion, his daughter grew up to be unfilial because of her failure to educate her properly.

Zhao Xiaohe had been beaten all her life, but this time she resisted like crazy.

The two stubborn girls, Ruyi and Meili, took sides again, causing Xu Laoer a lot of trouble.

He went out cursing, unable to understand what Zhao Xiaohe had gone crazy for. Ruyi and Meili couldn't understand it either, but knowing that her mother could resist was a great joy.

Soon, Yang Dani arrived, lecturing Zhao Xiaohe as the eldest sister-in-law. She repeated the same old rhetoric, but Zhao Xiaohe didn't listen. Instead, she stared at Yang Dani blankly and asked, "Sister-in-law, did it hurt when Big Brother hit you?"

"How could it not hurt? But in our brigade, which man doesn't beat his wife? The second one is considered the best, he never uses force. Sister-in-law, you should cherish your blessings. You gave birth to five daughters in a row. If it were another family, they would have divorced you long ago."

Zhao Xiaohe ignored the advice. Thinking about how her in-laws got along with each other, she gained a new understanding of the definition of a "good man".

Then she thought about the things her daughter Shanshan had done. If she were in the group, wouldn't she be beaten and scolded by the man's entire family? But in fact, Shanshan was living better than anyone else.

Zhao Xiaohe did not agree with her daughter's behavior, but she couldn't help but think about the reasons behind it.

"Ruyi, Meili, have you known for a long time that Fang Zhiwen is your brother-in-law?"

Everything was revealed, and the two sisters didn't hide it. They were even more curious and asked, "Mom, why did you come back so soon? Didn't you find my second sister?"

Zhao Xiaohe didn't hide it and told Boss Xu what he said. At the end, she said, "Your father and mother are really scared this time."

Ruyi was furious when she heard this. With her explosive temper, she couldn't wait to take revenge. That afternoon, she scooped up the toilet water and secretly poured it into the large water tank at her uncle's house.

When Boss Xu came back from bragging outside and was about to scoop some water to quench his thirst, he saw a layer of white maggots floating in the large water tank and some dung water still on the edge of the tank.

After doing the bad thing, Ruyi had already taken her younger sister Meili to her eldest sister's house, but no matter how angry her uncle's family was, she still refused to listen.

Bah, I wish I could be so angry that I die.

......

Linshi

Xu Shanshan's life returned to normal. Although Aunt Zhanhong only asked her to record the policies after that, Xu Shanshan still wanted to check the previous ones.

It just so happened that Fang Yuanzhou had the habit of reading the newspaper every day, and he did not throw away the old newspapers, but put them all in a cardboard box.

Xu Shanshan read with gusto. One of the articles featured an article titled "Contracting Output to Households." While the situation had relaxed somewhat since last year, her hometown brigade had at most lifted restrictions on livestock, but she hadn't heard of anything like this. Xu Shanshan took the newspaper to her teacher, Zhan Hong, who asked, "Tell me your opinion first."

"Teacher, I think this policy will be gradually implemented. First of all, I've read several newspapers, and judging by the public opinion, almost all of them advocate for household contract responsibility system. Secondly, I came from the village, and I've experienced all the drawbacks of the communal dining system. Personally, I definitely hope that the policy can be implemented."

"Now that things are getting easier in the city, the village can't just stick to the old ways. I see more and more people setting up food stalls, but they all say it's a hassle to buy flour, vegetables, and meat. If the village doesn't step up and work, and the supply-demand imbalance persists, it'll be hard to improve the existing problems."

"I used to sell popcorn, relying on the share my sisters gave me. But if my sisters didn't have enough corn to eat, why would they sell it to me? Then I wouldn't be able to run a stall."

"You're right. Next month, all our brigades in the suburban areas of Linshi will implement the household contract responsibility system."

"If you were still a villager, still farming at home, what would you do after hearing this news? Shanshan, remember to give the teacher a feasible plan when you come back next time."

Xu Shanshan returned home with the task and felt that the teacher's question was both simple and difficult.

It is not difficult to sell grain, but it is difficult to sell it at a good price.

At the same time, Fang Zhiwen was speechless. It had only been a short time, and the price of the blank tapes had already increased twice. Zhu Shuai said, "Brother Fang, let's raise the price too."

"I heard there's a new learning tape on the market recently. How much is it?"

"Brother, I really don't know about this. I'll buy a copy and take a look later."

"Okay, buy it first, and we'll talk about it in detail when we meet tomorrow." Fang Zhiwen looked at his watch and slapped his head, saying, "Oh, it's already this late. I have to go. You guys go ahead and do your own things."

Fang Zhiwen pushed his bicycle and ran out, but Chu Yun stopped him and said, "Brother Fang, I have something to tell you."

"We'll talk about it tomorrow."

"No, it has to be today. Bro, I..."

Zhu Shuai got anxious when he heard it, "Why don't you

Chu Yun glanced at Fang Zhiwen and bit it.

"Okay, Lao Zhu, your method is a bit flattering, but it's not so good that I have to have her.

Chu Yun didn't expect Fang Zhiwen to agree so easily. She immediately grabbed his short sleeve and asked, "Is it really okay?"

"Why not? We're in a partnership, not a contract to sell ourselves." Fang Zhiwen was puzzled, not understanding what Chu Yun was struggling with. He pulled out his sleeves and said again, "I really have something to do. You guys handle it yourselves."

After Fang Zhiwen walked a long way, Zhu Shuai said, "I told you all that Fang Zhiwen doesn't care about other women except his wife. If it really doesn't work out, what do you think of me? I'm a good young man and I don't have a partner."

Chu Yun's eyes were red, and he said angrily, "Shut up."

She knows that she cannot compare to Xu Shanshan in terms of appearance, but she has the ability to help Fang Zhiwen. Can Xu Shanshan do it?

She just spends money.

The next day, Zhu Shuai and Fang Zhiwen heard Chu Yun's voice from their opponent's learning tape.

Zhu Shuai sighed, "I saw how much Chu Yun liked you, but I didn't expect her to defect to our rivals so early. Tsk tsk, women's love is so cheap."

Fang Zhiwen was speechless and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? I am a good man, but I can't stand such slander from you. If your sister-in-law hears this, I will twist your ears off to make amends."

Zhu Shuai: ???

slander?

If Chu Yun knew about this, he would probably cry even more.

All right, Zhu Shuai was too lazy to continue the topic and instead said to Fang Zhiwen, "Yesterday I saw someone playing with a radio with a recording function. I can be sure that it wasn't modified by us."

"Boss, tell me, has someone copied our business?"

"We'll have to investigate first. Even if we find out, don't take any action yet. Let me think about it."

Zhu Shuai agreed, but cursed his opponent in his heart. He also thought that Chu Yun had cooperated with the opponent and probably knew who the opponent was, so for the next few days, Zhu Shuai had been quietly following Chu Yun.

On the other hand, Fang Zhiwen didn't think too much about it. After all, it was impossible for him to monopolize the business. He just wanted to make more money before others started.

But when Zhu Shuai found out that his competitor was his student Zhou Kai, Fang Zhiwen couldn't help but feel thoughtful.

It definitely won’t work if Zhou Kai alone relies on it. After all, he is a liberal arts student and doesn’t know anything about circuit welding. I just don’t know who is doing the technical work.

This guy has good skills, and Fang Zhiwen is jealous.

Since they had pried Meng Yun away, it would be fair for them to pry him back.

......

Due to the Rainbow TV Factory's upgrade, the entire production line Xu Shanshan worked on was replaced with a color TV line. Qin Sisi leaned over and said, "I heard one color TV can buy two black-and-white TVs now. If our factory can successfully produce this, our production line will definitely be recognized as provincially excellent. I heard the provincial reward is a set of red floral quilts, perfect for my wedding."

Xu Shanshan smiled and said, "I heard it's in the shape of a peony flower."

"I like this trick the most. By the way, Shanshan, you and Fang Zhiwen, don't forget to come and have a drink at the wedding."

Qin Sisi's wedding is scheduled for the twelfth lunar month. There are only two days left before the Chinese New Year, and the factory has already been closed for holiday.

When Xu Shanshan and Fang Zhiwen arrived, the room was already packed. She didn't sit down, but instead ate melon seeds in a corner, watching Qin Sisi, her arms outstretched, hustling the guests. She was loud and outgoing, without a trace of bridely shyness. The finance manager, on the other hand, was unusually shy.

However, what Xu Shanshan didn't expect was that Liu Qingqing also came, and there was a girl with outstanding appearance beside her.

"I guess it was Xiao Chang who invited me. Back then, he and my second brother were pursuing Liu Qingqing together, but when he heard that Liu Qingqing was going to the countryside, he turned around and let her go."

"That Xiao Chang got married so late."

"Pick one. Don't look at his ugly appearance. He secretly swore to marry a beautiful woman."

"That's right. Although Qin Sisi is a bit fierce, she is really pretty."

"That can't be compared with my wife." Fang Zhiwen was quite proud when he said this.

The young couple chatted and laughed. Meanwhile, Liu Qingqing said to Meng Yao, "Look, I was right. Fang Zhiwen is different now. Look, he can even charm lesbians."

"She's my wife after all." Meng Yao didn't care about Fang Zhiwen. She asked Liu Qingqing, "I heard your father-in-law's factory is doing unplanned production. Can you sell me some of the extra shares?"

"I can't guarantee that. I'll ask again when I get back. Meng Yao, if you're really short of money, why not ask Fang Zhiwen for help?"

"Why would I look for him? He and I have nothing to do with each other." Fang Zhiwen had ignored her since they were young. Now, after so many years, I was afraid that no one would recognize me.

Meng Yao had no choice. Life had been tough since she returned to the city. But she had to earn money, not for herself, but for her daughter who stayed in the countryside.

Liu Qingqing thought: You and I have nothing to do with each other, why are you pestering me?
