"I don't know if this is true or not. I just thought someone put a letter on my doorstep early this morning. I thought they might not want to show up for some reason, so they wouldn't try to trick me with something like this."
When Zhang Degen heard this, he was so angry that he immediately called Accountant Wu over to discuss the matter.
"The soap factory is the hard work of everyone in our village. If anyone dares to sabotage it, don't blame me for being rude."
"Don't get too excited. Regardless of whether this is true or not, our factory needs to strengthen its defenses. We distributed so many things to everyone in the village this time, and it's probably going to make people jealous."
"This matter can't be hidden forever, so we can only be more cautious. And as for Zhang Xiaohua, I'll have people keep a close eye on her. If she really does something like this, she'll definitely show signs of it."
Accountant Wu also knew that Zhang Xiaohong was a relative of Zhang Degen, so he specifically said
"Just investigate. If she really betrays me, I will disown her as my niece."
"Okay, now that you say that, I'm relieved."
Li Miaomiao told Zhang Degen about this and ignored it. Zhang Degen and Accountant Wu were definitely more concerned about it than her. But she remembered that she hadn't been back to her mother's house for some time and planned to go back.
"It just so happens that I have tomorrow off, so I'll go with you."
Pei Guoan knew that Li Miaomiao wanted to go back to her parents' home, so he immediately offered to accompany her.
It was Pei Yifan. Li Miaomiao asked him if he wanted to go, since it was such a cold day.
It was because Li Miaomiao saw that Pei Yifan was very keen to follow her back to her parents' home that she thought of asking.
"Mom, you and Dad go together. I won't go. Classes will start next spring, and Aunt Yanan has assigned me homework. I want to study at home."
Pei Yifan heard this and said that he was worried that his grandmother would persuade his mother to remarry and take his mother away.
Now that Dad is back and is accompanying Mom, something like this will definitely not happen, so there is no need to go with them.
Li Miaomiao was a little surprised, after all, the little guy used to like to go back to her parents' home with her.
"Okay, then you stay home. Your father and I will go there and will be back in the afternoon."
When she returned to her parents' home, she brought a lot of things with her. Li Miaomiao had already prepared a lot, and Pei Guoan specially weighed the meat and bought cigarettes and alcohol.
"Guoan, Miaomiao, you are here!"
Seeing her daughter and son-in-law come back, He Guixiang was overjoyed and quickly invited them in.
"Mom, is everything okay at home lately? I've been busy these days and haven't been able to take care of anything else, so I haven't been back to see you."
"It's fine. You don't have to worry about us. Just live your own life well."
"Yeah, your mom and I don't need you to worry about us. If you have time, come and visit us occasionally. Don't bring so many things back with you. It's not easy for anyone. How can you live like this in the future?"
"I just went to the provincial capital and brought you some things. Besides, your son-in-law is filial, so he insisted that I bring more things over."
Li Miaomiao's words made the old couple laugh from ear to ear.
"Where's my sister-in-law? Isn't she at home?"
Usually when Li Miaomiao comes back, Liao Xuemei always comes out to greet her quickly, but today I haven't seen Liao Xuemei for such a long time.
"Your sister-in-law has gone back to her parents' home."
He Guixiang said this with some dissatisfaction in her tone.
"Sister-in-law rarely goes back home on weekdays. Besides, it's her family's home after all, so it's normal for her to have some contact with her."
Li Miaomiao thought He Guixiang was unhappy that her sister-in-law was returning to her parents' home
"When did I stop my daughters-in-law from returning to their parents' home? It's really your sister-in-law's family..."
He Guixiang didn't finish her words, but her dissatisfaction was very obvious in her tone.
Li Miaomiao also knew something. Liao Xuemei's family didn't treat her very well. Before she got married, she could be ordered around, but after she got married, they asked for a lot of betrothal gifts but not much dowry. It was like they were selling their daughter, which was also the reason why He Guixiang was dissatisfied with her eldest daughter-in-law's family.
"Mom, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Don't worry about it. Let my sister-in-law handle it herself. My sister-in-law is not the type to be bullied. If her family goes too far, she won't tolerate it."
"Hey, I'm worried about your sister-in-law who is still pregnant. With such a big belly, the Liao family is really not one that cares about their daughters. In order to achieve their goal this time, they may have to make things difficult for your sister-in-law."
Li Miaomiao heard that there was something else going on here.
"What does the Liao family want to do? What is their purpose?"
He Guixiang's tone faltered when she heard what Li Miaomiao said. "In any case, it's not a good thing. The Liao family doesn't even consider their own strengths. Instead, they want to use their daughter's pregnancy as a means of threatening our Li family. In short, you should just forget about it. Our Li family is not someone you can easily bully."
Li Miaomiao wanted to ask more, but He Guixiang changed the subject after a few words.
After returning from her mother's home, Li Miaomiao was full of doubts.
"Don't think too much. If it's something important, your parents-in-law will definitely tell you. Maybe it's just some trivial matter that they don't want to affect your mood. If you worry about it, then your parents-in-law will waste their hard work."
After Pei Guoan said this, Li Miaomiao really just left it alone.
On this day, Zhang Degen and Accountant Wu came to Li Miaomiao with account books, with mysterious smiles on their faces.
"Uncle Degen, Accountant Wu, what are you doing?"
"Guoan's wife, I came here today because I have time to discuss something with you."
"What's the matter? It looks like a good thing."
"That's a good thing. Accountant Wu and I have calculated the money in the village account and are thinking of buying a tractor next spring. That way, it will be more convenient for us to go to the county town or transport other things, and we won't have to envy Zhaojia Village."
This has always been Zhang Degen's wish, as has Accountant Wu. The villagers of Fanglin Village all think so.
When the people from Zhaojiacun drove their tractor past the ox cart they were sitting in, they were so envious.
Li Miaomiao was not surprised, but she did not expect them to bring it up so quickly. She was the one who negotiated the big deals for the soap factory, and she knew roughly how much money there was in the village.
"It's a good thing, but even though our village has money in its account, it's best to plan how to use it and prioritize the most important things first. Relatively speaking, the tractor doesn't seem that important."
Zhang Degen and Accountant Wu heard
"What do you mean? Guoan's wife, what do you think is the most important thing for our village right now?"
"Of course, the most important thing is to get electricity and a telephone installed. Otherwise, how can we contact the factories outside when they have orders? We can't always rely on going to the county town to make calls. We had contacted these two factories in advance and had agreed on the matters, but expanding business with other factories is a different matter."
"That's true. I've been thinking before that it would be great if our village had a telephone. Otherwise, important matters would be delayed."
"If it weren't for Guoan's wife's foresight, we wouldn't have thought of this problem. We really need to get electricity and telephones installed. Once the city has electricity, the light bulbs will be as bright as during the day, which is very convenient."
