Zhao Youcai was also helpless; he was afraid that he might lose his temper and give his in-laws a good scolding.

After all, now that their net worth has increased, the risk of being extorted for compensation is also higher.

"Director Niu, what brings you here?"

The steel plant manager's laughter was so loud that it left Old Feng's family in the courtyard somewhat bewildered.

After all, Zhao Youcai had too many capable friends, all of whom could make them tremble with a stomp of their feet.

Before coming here, I specifically inquired and found out that when Zhao Youcai returned from his trip, his friends had already visited him and probably wouldn't be coming to the Zhao family again anytime soon.

But what a coincidence that they came to the Zhao family just when they wanted to get some benefits and take them back without anyone noticing!

They also wanted to curry favor with these important figures, just like Zhao Youcai's other in-laws, and make a good impression. Now that distinguished guests had arrived, they were too embarrassed to cause trouble.

But if he doesn't cause trouble, how else can he gain benefits? Zhao Youcai has never been an easy person to talk to.

Moreover, everyone in the Feng family knows that no one in Zhao Youcai's family likes them, so even if they try to reason with them, they definitely won't listen.

Didn't you see that the first thing the Zhao family did when they came in was to instinctively clear the dining table?

But Old Feng thought he was thick-skinned enough, and considered himself the most intelligent and respectable person in the world.

Seeing Zhao Youcai and Factory Director Niu enter the courtyard chatting and laughing, he immediately stood up to greet them.

"This must be Factory Manager Niu, right? He really does have the charisma and presence that's been rumored to be true."

Zhao Youcai didn't even bother to talk to him. With such a limited vocabulary, he shouldn't be trying to flatter anyone. Anyone who listened to him would feel awkward.

But Old Feng seemed oblivious, and even shook Factory Director Niu's hand several times, acting as if he were an old friend who hadn't seen him in ages and was dying to see him.

Unfortunately—

"Old Zhao, who is this?"

Old Feng's face froze instantly.

Someone like Factory Director Niu should know that he has some connection with the Zhao family, or at the very least, he should ask who he is. Why is he suddenly asking Zhao Youcai?

What if Zhao Youcai doesn't say anything nice about me? I'd be so embarrassed.

Zhao Youcai's smiling face instantly changed, and his attitude became extremely cold.

"Oh, unimportant people. Remember Wang Guilan and Sun Tiezhu? They're pretty much the same."

Factory Director Niu immediately brushed away Old Man Feng's hand and reached for the washbasin with obvious disgust.

Old Feng was immediately displeased, and he no longer cared that he had come to curry favor with Zhao Youcai.

"Zhao Youcai, what do you mean! Wang Guilan and Sun Tiezhu are no good people. They came to your village to poison the whole village. I'm not that kind of person. You're slandering me!"

Zhao Youcai clicked his tongue. "What did I say? Wang Guilan and Sun Tiezhu are former in-laws who can't be discussed openly. Your family is severing ties with my second daughter-in-law. Strictly speaking, aren't you also former in-laws who can't be discussed openly?"

Originally, no one intended to sever ties with their relatives, but this happened after Zhao Youcai went to Haishi.

Originally, the Feng family just felt that their daughter was no longer able to bring good things home, so they planned to wait and see and find some time to "brainwash" her.

Knowing that Zhao Youcai had left Zhaojiagou, I inquired for several days but still hadn't heard of his return.

Some people say that Zhao Youcai probably took all his family's money to live with his college student son and enjoy a life of luxury, leaving these country bumpkins behind.

When the Feng family realized that their daughter had no skills and they had no extra benefits to offer them, they started causing trouble, shouting that they would break off the marriage if they didn't give her any benefits, and even threatening to put up a big-character poster.

If this happened to anyone else, Zhao Youcai's second daughter-in-law would have been paraded through the streets, since the person whose kinship was severed must have had a serious problem or made a grave mistake.

Even if it is eventually found that Zhao Youcai's second daughter-in-law was wronged, it will definitely have an impact on the Zhao family.

After all, these days there are many people who enjoy watching others make a fool of themselves, and few care about the truth.

Zhao Youcai wasn't home at the time, so his sons and daughters-in-law didn't dare to act on their own, allowing the Feng family to run rampant for a few days until Zhao Youcai returned and the Feng family quieted down for a few days.

But unexpectedly, they came to cause trouble again.

Today, seeing that Zhao Youcai was backing her up at home, the second son's wife took the opportunity to bring up the matter of severing ties with the family.

After returning, Zhao Youcai learned the whole story. He couldn't help but laugh at the thought of this fool wanting to sever ties with his family. It really saved him a lot of trouble.

If he had known that dealing with such a rotten in-law relationship could be resolved simply by severing ties, he would have done so long ago.

"It's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding. We were just angry at the time, and we just wanted to come over and apologize to my daughter, so we kept kissing her."

Zhao Youcai sneered, "What? Do you own the Revolutionary Committee? Does the government only serve you? You can publish big-character posters whenever you want, sever ties with relatives whenever you want, are you God?"

Zhao Youcai couldn't stand these shameless people who wanted everything. Did they think Zhao Youcai owed them anything?

"If you don't have anything important to say, get out! The Zhao family doesn't welcome you!"

The second son, Zhao Jianjun, had only let them into the yard because of his wife. Now, seeing his father's firm attitude and his wife's unanimous agreement, even nodding more firmly than anyone else, he knew that even his own wife didn't want to acknowledge the marriage anymore.

What else could he possibly have to worry about?

"Get out! Don't force us to call the police for trespassing!"

The Feng family members were quickly pushed out and stood at the gate of Zhao Youcai's house for a long time, unable to come to their senses.

Factory Director Niu never expected that his rare trip to Zhao Youcai's house would lead to such a dramatic scene.

It seems that nine out of ten times I visit Zhao Youcai's house, I encounter some strange people and things. Every day is quite lively.

Seeing that the unrelated people had already left, Factory Director Niu smiled and revealed his purpose.

"I heard that the farm has changed hands. Are you the new manager?"

Zhao Youcai smiled and nodded, "As expected of you, your information network is excellent."

Factory Director Niu laughed heartily, but still gave Zhao Youcai a reminder.

"Being a factory manager looks glamorous, but there are a lot of hidden tricks involved. You're the new manager of the farm now, what are your plans?"

Zhao Youcai had indeed considered it. That Zhu guy was too dishonest; all the accounts on the surface were falsified, and nobody knew what the real situation was.

Thinking that Director Niu had been running the steel plant for many years, there might be some things that were difficult to handle or that I didn't understand. Asking him might give me some ideas.

If there are some things I can't handle on my own, I'll really have to rely on others to help me contact the relevant departments to clean up the farm before I can take it over.

“I think I can take over this farm, but only a clean and tidy one. All those messy old accounts and problems left over from before must be resolved before I take over.”

Zhao Youcai can start from scratch, or take over an empty shell, but he will never be a traitor.
