Chapter 54: The Small Workshop Became Envious



Xiang Baiwei hurriedly looked away, not daring to look into Jiang Sui's eyes again.

In the afternoon, Xiang Baiwei ran to her mother's house after dinner to discuss the matter with her parents and brothers.

After hearing Xiang Baiwei's beautiful expectations for the grain workshop, Xiang Laogen was a little worried at first, but when he heard that this was a suggestion from Jiang Sui, his original worries disappeared.

The reason is simple. After two years of contact, Xiang Laogen found that Jiang Sui is a very stable and capable young man.

Since he gave this suggestion, it will definitely be done well.

Xiang Baiwei heard Xiang Laogen defending Jiang Sui, and she looked a little unhappy: "Dad, it seems that what my daughter said is not as effective as what Jiang Sui said!"

"You stinky girl, Jiang Sui is your man. Isn't it good for your father to marry a capable man?"

Xiang Lao Gen tapped the pipe in his hand and said, "But since you are helping the family so much, does Xiao Jiang feel any emotion?"

Xiang Baiwei shook her head: "It's not obvious at the moment, but I'm not keeping all the money to myself. After the small workshop is established, I will share the profits with him. I also told him in advance that I will use part of the money to support the family. Besides, he is not that kind of person."

"That's good!"

Just do it.

That afternoon, Xiang Baiwei called her second brother and younger brother who were still free, and went to their old house at the entrance of the village.

The old house has not been occupied for two or three years, and there are spider webs everywhere.

The three of them spent the entire afternoon cleaning up the house until dark.

After arriving home, Jiang Sui also brought her good news. He invited the deputy director of the Second Machinery Factory to have lunch at noon today and solved the problem of the grain workshop machinery.

When he said this, Xiang Baiwei was standing by the stove serving soup.

"How come you are so capable? You solved the problem with just one meal?" Xiang Baiwei praised Jiang Sui sincerely.

Jiang Sui was very pleased with it and smiled: "It's not bad, they are all scrapped machines. I bought them at a low price. I can find parts to fix some broken parts myself. After they are repaired, they can be used temporarily. At least they can last for a year or so."

Although it's not a brand new machine, it's already very good.

They could just wait until business picks up again before purchasing new machines.

The next few days.

The fields in the space were planted with wheat. There was nothing to take care of. One only had to go and get some farm tools and fertilizers every week, which might be used at some unknown time.

In the real world outside the space, Xiang Baiwei handed the workshop over to her younger brother and Jiang Sui. The old house was quite large, and Jiang Sui had found quite a few machines. Xiang Baiwei's two brothers usually had other work to do, so her younger brother was the only one who could help with this matter.

So, seeing that the workshop was short of staff, Jiang Sui brought Ma Fengcheng into the partnership.

The teachers who went to the countryside with Jiang Sui all trusted Jiang Sui very much. Two of them who could help also used their savings to join the group.

This also includes another female teacher who is usually quiet and inconspicuous.

Speaking of these teachers who joined the group, we have to mention Liu Mei, who wanted to join in the fun as soon as she heard the news.

Xiang Baiwei saw at a glance that Liu Mei's real purpose of joining the gang was Jiang Sui. Xiang Baiwei didn't want to deal with her any more, so she rejected her immediately.

After being rejected, Liu Mei went to find Jiang Sui and expressed her desire to join the gang.

When Jiang Sui learned that Xiang Baiwei did not agree with her joining the gang, he followed Xiang Baiwei's wishes without thinking and also found a reason to reject Liu Mei.

When he does things now, he always puts Bai Wei first.

Liu Mei was so angry that she didn't eat for several days.

Taking advantage of this favorable situation, the grain processing workshop opened by Xiang Baiwei and Jiang Sui became busier day by day.

Xiang Baiwei was so busy that she had no time to stay at home. She would drag Chi Kunli to the workshop to work before dawn every day.

When they arrived there before dawn, there were already many people queuing in front of the workshop.

Seeing the business getting better and better, those who were originally pessimistic about the business have changed from their original mentality of watching the joke to a mentality of envy.

Whenever Xiang Baiwei was walking in the village, she was stopped and scolded several times.

However, Xiang Baiwei was very open-minded and did not take those people's words to heart. As long as her workshop could make money, it didn't matter whether she listened to outsiders or not.

This afternoon.

Liu Mei sat on the roof, looking at the main road in the middle of the village. From time to time, people passed by, pulling grain towards the east end of the village, towards the small workshop opened by Bai Wei.

"How is it? You've been here for almost three days. What's so good about it? Are you still holding a grudge against Xiang Baiwei for not letting you join the business?"

A man climbed up the ladder to the roof and sat in a secluded position behind Liu Mei.

Liu Mei snorted coldly: "She is just afraid of me. She is afraid that I will go in and steal her limelight."

"Haha, I don't see that Xiang Baiwei is afraid of you." The man took advantage of the dark evening sky to reach out and hold Liu Mei. "I went to the supply and marketing cooperative in town today and bought some wine, snacks and candies from the city, and also got half a duck. Come over to my place and have a seat?"

Liu Mei, feeling unhappy, withdrew her hand: "We'll be caught."

"Don't use this excuse to fool me," the man didn't seem to be buying it. "Go and keep me company, and I'll help you deal with Xiang Baiwei. Anyway, there are a lot of people in the village who don't like her recently, so now is the perfect time to deal with her."

Liu Mei's mind moved slightly, and she turned to look at the man behind her: "Do you have a solution?"

"Of course, let's go to my room, drink some wine, eat some duck, and chat slowly."

As the man spoke, he grabbed Liu Mei's white wrist and said, "You people in the city are different. Everything is white."

Liu Mei suppressed her nausea and waited until the other person had touched her enough before withdrawing her hand: "It's not even dark yet. If I'm discovered, will I still be alive?"

A few days later.

Chi Kunli rushed into the rumbling workshop and pulled Xiang Baiwei out who was working: "Oh no, a group of people came outside with red cloth on their arms and surrounded our workshop."

After Xiang Baiwei heard the content clearly, her face changed drastically and she ran out in a hurry.

In the yard outside, three men in black work clothes were chatting with villagers who were waiting in line for grain processing.

Behind these three men, there were several slightly younger men with more aggressive looks.

Xiang Baiwei's heart was beating fast. She walked up to the man who seemed to be the leader and said, "Hello, leader."

"Hello, female comrade, I heard that you have opened a grain workshop here in cooperation with the villagers?"

The man in black overalls smiled faintly and walked into the house: "Let me take a look inside."

Chi Kunli, who was standing next to him, was quick-witted and quickly ran out to find Jiang Sui at school.

In her opinion, Jiang Sui should be better at handling such situations.
