"Then I can rest assured."
Gu Guangrong chuckled and led the third son and his wife back.
As the three of them walked toward the brigade office, they heard the phone ring inside. Then a commune member ran out and quickly asked Ruan Qiushui to answer the phone.
"?"
Ruan Qiushui, not understanding what was going on, quickly went inside.
"Sister Qiu, it's me, Da Tou. Something terrible has happened! Brother Zhou and several of his brothers have been arrested."
Da Tou was in a terrible predicament on the other end of the phone.
He wouldn't have called Ruan Qiushui at this time if he hadn't really run out of options.
"Explain what exactly happened."
Ruan Qiushui's expression hardened.
It seems that the bigger the tree, the more the wind blows; the booming business of the skin whitening product has attracted the envy of others.
"No sooner had you and your brother-in-law left Beijing than several people came to cause trouble. They said they had used our Snow Skin Cream and were disfigured, suspecting that it contained some shady stuff, including highly toxic substances."
"After that, a group of people intervened under the guise of the government, saying that we were producing illegally. First, they arrested Brother Zhou, and then they shut down the shops and factories."
“Even our performance this quarter was confiscated by those people.”
On paper, that's nearly two hundred thousand coins. Those bastards just take it without a second thought, aren't they afraid of bloating themselves to death?
If it weren't for Brother Zhou teaching them to follow the rules, he would have gathered his men and stormed into Brother Zhou's house the day Brother Zhou was arrested.
It's a pity about Brother Zhou. We don't know if those people did anything to him. I really hope Sister Qiu can get Brother Zhou out soon.
"Keep the brothers calm and don't make any rash moves. Wait for my news."
After giving Da Tou her instructions, Ruan Qiushui hung up the phone.
"Something happened to Snow White Skin?"
Gu Changfeng stepped forward and, judging from his wife's expression, could roughly guess that something had happened to Xueji.
"The factory and shop were sealed off, and the money was taken away."
Ruan Qiushui was so angry she laughed.
Do you really think that by hiring a few people to put on a show while they're not home, you can pick the peaches and claim the golden hen for yourself?
Isn't that oversimplifying things?
"Who has such audacity?"
Gu Changfeng pondered the possibilities of his opponent.
There are only a few.
Ruan Qiushui had already made up her mind.
"Hello, Grandpa, it's me..."
"Mr. He, it's me. I'd like to ask you for a favor..."
Ruan Qiushui made two phone calls and then put the matter aside.
"Is that all?"
Gu Changfeng was still thinking about whether he should ask some of his brothers in Beijing for help.
"fine."
Ruan Qiushui waved her hand.
Why not use existing relationships instead of racking your brains? Isn't that a problem?
She has complete confidence in the safety of the skin-brightening ingredients.
The thing Da Tou said was obviously a case of deliberately ruining his face and then blaming it on them.
She told her grandfather to help get Zhou Yi out and find out who was behind it.
I also mentioned to Elder He that Elder Zhao, who was poisoned before, is very knowledgeable about poisons. I think we can use him to clear Xueji's name and restore her innocence.
As for how to deal with the mastermind behind it all, there will be plenty of time when she returns after her annual leave.
Ruan Qiushui and Gu Changfeng spent a few peaceful days at the Gu family home until the eighth day of the first lunar month, when they finally returned to the capital.
"Grandpa, Grandma, we're back."
Ruan Qiushui and Gu Changfeng, carrying their son and daughter, went inside first.
Gu Changshu and Gu Xiaoxiao followed behind, carrying the luggage.
“My little darling, your great-grandfather misses you so much.”
Shen Yongjun and Liu Sanmei quickly stepped forward to take the two children.
The elderly couple had raised the two children for so long, and their bond had grown very strong.
The elderly couple felt a deep emptiness when their two great-grandchildren returned to their hometown. They couldn't eat or sleep well.
Now that the children are back, they are full of energy.
"Mom and Dad haven't started their holiday yet?"
Ruan Qiushui helped put away the luggage and noticed that the house looked rather deserted.
She hadn't seen her parents for a long time, and she missed them.
Not yet.
Shen Yongjun shook his head.
This year can be described as a quiet year.
Although Ruan Yatou asked the elderly couple to go with her to the Hongqi Brigade, they still wanted to wait for their son and daughter-in-law to return.
Unexpectedly, I still couldn't go home for the holidays.
"Little sister, you're back."
Knowing that Ruan Qiushui was returning today, Ruan Shiping specially brought Wang Xinyue over to visit her.
"Brother and sister-in-law, you've come at the right time. We brought back a lot of local specialties. Take some back with you, and also give some to Grandpa Wang."
Knowing that Ruan Qiushui and the others were going back home for the New Year, Xie Xiuying and Gu Guangrong prepared a lot of mountain products.
There are preserved chicken, preserved rabbit, preserved pork, as well as some mushrooms and chestnuts.
Ruan Qiushui secretly added a few ginseng roots that were about fifty years old to the potion, intending to take them back to her brother and sister-in-law to nourish them.
I'll also give some to the Wang family as a favor.
"There's so much food! How are we going to finish it all?"
Wang Xinyue looked at the large sack of food, wondering if she could even lift it.
Economically, they can afford quite a few things. But these original, pure wild game products are rare commodities.
Last time, the wild game sent from Gu's hometown was given to her, and she took it home to present to her grandfather. He praised her for a long time.
This time they gave so much again, how could Grandpa not be overjoyed?
"What's so great about it? It'll be gone if you divide it up."
If the car hadn't been already full, she would have liked to bring back more game.
They brought back more than just the things Gu Guangrong and Xie Xiuying had prepared; they had also bought a lot from the brigade members on their own.
My grandparents at home were also craving wild game. After they went to the Hongqi Brigade, they called several times, mentioning it both openly and subtly.
"Thank you very much, little sister."
After thanking her, Wang Xinyue pulled Ruan Qiushui aside.
"What's wrong?"
What are they whispering about this time? Could it be that Wang Xinyue is pregnant too?
"Do you know who did the snow-white skin thing?"
When Xueji's incident occurred, Wang Xinyue and Ruan Shiping were traveling out of town, having a belated honeymoon. Upon their return, they heard that the matter had already been resolved by Old Master Shen.
She privately inquired about the situation and learned that the Zhou family was definitely involved.
"Anniversary".
Ruan Qiushui said the name with great certainty.
Although the anniversary celebration was done very discreetly, and only with people who were completely unrelated to the event, it couldn't escape Grandpa's keen eyes.
After Zhou Yi got it, Grandpa went to investigate the mastermind behind it, and in less than a day, he found out it was the Zhou family.
Logically speaking, the Zhou family wouldn't do something so foolish at this stage. Unfortunately, the Zhou family doesn't own any property, and their expenses are entirely covered by their savings and gifts from others.
The sales revenue of Xueji in one quarter is equivalent to the annual income of a large factory. How could they not be tempted?
So Zhou Nian made grand promises at home, taking the opportunity to urge the Zhou family to make a move.
