The old lady's daughter used Qiao Yu's stuff on the spot, which improved her complexion and appearance. The family she was originally destined to marry was similar to her parents' family, but she was later chosen by a man with a better family background, who married her up and broke the previous engagement.
After Zhou's mother finished gossiping about this family, she seemed to feel ashamed and said, "This family is treacherous and unfaithful. It's better not to have any dealings with them."
Qiao Yu glanced at Zhou's mother and said, "Are you worried that if we buy raw materials from her and get the formula, she will steal my business?"
"That's not the case. After all, the situation at home is there. They don't need to make enemies with us."
"Don't worry, mom. If they make any small move, I will make them regret it for the rest of their lives."
Zhou's mother looked at Qiao Yu and thought so too.
When it comes to revenge, who can compare to her daughter-in-law?
No one can!
Qiao Yu had already gathered together the former veterans. He wanted to expand the stall, but he didn't want to manage it himself, so he found Zhou Zhoumei.
Zhou Ermei's factory was already running in full swing, but something insignificant happened after the Chinese New Year: her parents from her hometown called to test her.
"Second sister." It was the voice of Mrs. Zhou.
"What's wrong, Mom?"
"Are you doing well in Jing City?"
Zhou Ermei did not tell her family back home that she had opened a factory. She only told her parents that she had come to seek refuge with her second aunt because she was upset.
Living a life of dependence on others, it is natural that people in your hometown will not miss you.
"It's OK. I'm not starving and I have a place to stay."
"Why don't you come back? We're worried about you if you stay outside all the time..."
Zhou Ermei: "Let Dad answer the phone."
Before Mrs. Zhou could say something, Zhou Zeguo snatched the phone away.
"Second sister."
"What's going on?"
"The factory is in trouble and we need someone to go back and support it. What we mean is..."
Zhou Ermei didn't say anything.
After a long while, Zhou Ermei finally found her own voice, "And then what? Dad, can the Party Secretary and the Village Chief make the decision without the approval of the County Chief?
Should I decide to pay my eldest cousin a monthly salary? Should I take ownership of the factory? If that is not possible, why should I go back and sell this labor and not please him?"
"Second sister..."
"Alright, Dad. I know you want the best for the village, but I can't bear to see you sacrifice us for others."
Zhou Zeguo was silent for a long time before he sighed, "Second sister, you were not like this before."
Zhou Ermei was also speechless for a long time, then said, "People have walked a lot, seen a lot, how can they stay in the same place?"
"Okay, if you want, I'll bring it."
Zhou Ermei thought for a moment, and before hanging up the phone, she said, "Dad, you and mom are old enough to be taken care of by your elder brother and younger brother. I will take you to Beijing."
"Um."
"The premise is that we only take you to Jing City."
"Don't worry, I'll live longer than your mother."
The implication is: to be able to suppress her.
Zhou Ermei sneered and easily finished the phone call and solved the problem of the dilapidated stall in her hometown.
After hearing what Second Auntie said, Zhou Ermei said, "There is plenty of land here, and the price is cheap. Second Auntie, you can just buy a piece of land and build a factory."
"I thought so too, but I need someone to look after it. I'm often away from home, so I have no choice but to hire you. There are a group of factory workers here, see if you can use them, and if not, hire some more."
Zhou Ermei nodded, "Okay. Do you need a machine tool?"
"Not for the time being. This factory will focus on our market first. There are not many buyers, so the manpower is sufficient to handle the workload. If we expand to other markets later, it won't be too late to buy machine tools."
"OK."
Zhou Ermei served as the factory manager, Qiao Yu was in charge of acquiring shares and acting as a hands-off manager.
The raw materials were purchased, but Qiao Yu was in charge of the inspection and acceptance during the process, and he also replaced them with century-old medicinal herbs copied from the space.
Because the production is done only after the buyer has determined the number of people, Qiao Yu also purchases raw materials according to the quantity, so there will be no shortage of supply or oversupply.
Once the capital was paid, Zhou Ermei was fully responsible for the rest, and Qiao Yu received a telegram from the director of the Women's Federation.
After she finished reading, she sat in the study and began to daydream again.
It was not until Lao Zhou came back and went upstairs to call her for dinner that he saw that she looked abnormal. He snatched the telegram and saw the contents clearly.
The director of the Women's Federation is critically ill.
In the spring of 1984, everyone in Beijing had money in their pockets, and they dressed in various colors, looking very happy.
Qiao Yu must go on this trip.
The Dai family has had a complex relationship with the Zhang family in both the previous life and this life. Even though they don't contact each other often and are a little unfamiliar, she is still grateful for the care given to her by the then director of the Women's Federation.
When I go to the Dai family, I will also visit Zhou Wu.
So this time, it was another long journey.
Lao Zhou was not very happy.
It would be strange if I could be happy.
Qiao Yu coaxed him for several days.
"Parting and reuniting is better than a wedding."
"Even though there are thousands of miles between us, our love for each other remains unchanged."
"What is the most important thing between husband and wife? Freshness! After a long separation, reunion is freshness! Love and affection are inevitable!"
"Old Zhou, I thought you had adapted..."
Lao Zhou kissed her fiercely to punish her.
Only on the eve of departure did it quiet down.
He personally went to the train station to see him off, "The earlier you go, the earlier you return."
"Don't worry, Old Zhou!"
Old Zhou looked at this pretty face. When he was away from home, the only thing he didn't worry about was that she would be seduced away by someone else.
After all, other men are not as suitable to her as he is.
After all, other men only like her appearance, but he likes her inner self.
They are bound to be attracted to each other.
…
The Dai family gathered together and stood by the director of the Women's Federation.
Brigade Commander Dai's hair was also frosted, he was old and could no longer move.
The director of the Women's Federation looked at her lover, then looked at her children and grandchildren below, and finally her gaze fell on Yadan.
As soon as she raised her hand, Brigade Commander Dai held her hand and said, "The telegram has been sent. Wait a minute."
"good……"
Yadan couldn't bear it anymore and went out of the house to get some fresh air.
Just as I had a chance to catch my breath, I heard my sister-in-law say in a weird tone, "Some people are so arrogant that they can't settle down even after getting married. Didn't reality give them a hard slap in the face? You didn't get into college after your divorce, and you wasted all these years. You still have to live and eat at home with your children. I really don't know why your family decided to support you until you graduate from high school. Isn't this just a waste of money?"
Yadan took a deep breath and was about to say something when a more sinister voice came over: "Oh my god, what a bad luck that you come here right at the moment to attend to family matters. How about I pick another day to visit?"
Mrs. Dai was just getting impatient and wanted to curse, "Who are you? What does it have to do with you?"
When she saw the woman's face clearly, Sister Dai's face turned pale and blue.
The little face is even prettier than the one on the screen, with rosy cheeks, and it's obvious that she is full of energy.
She tied her hair into two pigtails, wore a waist-hugging shirt, and a pair of jeans that made her legs look like pencils, and her buttocks were more eye-catching than those of a little girl.
This, this doesn't look like her elder at all! It's not an exaggeration to say that she is her junior!
Sister Dai called out, "Aunt Qiao."
Qiao Yu looked at her and smiled, "Does this mean you recognize me as your aunt?"
Mrs. Dai was silent for a while.
She had a bad feeling.
