Chapter 342 Guilty Heart
"Cry if you want to. Be weak again for these unworthy people. From now on, you will follow Grandma Wen and the others." Chen Zhu agreed with a smile.
Liu Zhaodi acted even faster than Liu Laogen expected. She wiped her tears, turned around, and kowtowed three times to Mrs. Wen.
The dirt ground was not very clean, but Zhaodi was an honest person. She bumped into the stone and her forehead became red and swollen.
But she didn't think it was inappropriate and smiled: "Milk!"
"I'm your father!" Huo Zhao quickly came over to look at the girl. He was so happy to have found a beautiful girl for free: "I'll register your household registration later. That's your Uncle Liu."
These words were meant to annoy Liu Laogen. He was indeed very angry. His face was twisted and he pointed at them, his body shaking as if he had Parkinson's disease.
"You rebellious girl!" Before Liu Laogen could finish his complaint, he rolled his eyes and fell towards the village chief Wang beside him.
Liu Zhaodi pretended not to see it, without even blinking, and said to Huo Zhao with a smile: "Dad, I will definitely be filial to you in the future."
Village Chief Wang was filled with nameless rage when he heard this. His eyelids twitched and he snapped, "Are you crazy? Your own father is about to die here!"
"The only thing left for me to do is to publish an announcement in the newspaper to sever ties with them. My only biological father is Huo Zhao's father, and my only biological grandmother is Grandma Wen." Liu Zhaodi hugged Grandma Wen's arm and smiled slightly.
Village Chief Wang wanted to say something when the door was closed. He could still hear the people inside saying heartbroken words, as if they were speaking up for Zhaodi.
There was also a faint aroma of meat wafting over.
He couldn't help but think of Jinhua. They were all from the neighborhood and knew something about these situations.
Jinhua received a good education since childhood. She was even able to study on her own and passed the teacher's examination. She just didn't have the ability to go to university.
But Zhaodi has this ability.
She has been a good student since she was young. After the villagers emphasized this several times, Mrs. Cai was willing to take her granddaughter to school.
Knowing that this opportunity was hard-earned, Zhaodi studied very hard and was willing to study even without eating or drinking!
If it weren't for her good grades, she would have been able to tutor her younger brother and even help other children in the village read and write, and earn a little money. I'm afraid she would have lost the opportunity long ago.
Even when she was trying to go to high school, it was because good universities charged high fees, so Mrs. Cai sold her admission letter for nearly a thousand yuan!
In addition to the ready-made banknotes, there are also tickets of considerable value.
It was originally intended to be used for Zhaodi's younger brother Yaozu's wedding, but this bastard messed around outside and not only was his money defrauded, he was also arrested!
If Liu Zhaodi had not been able to rush to Beijing, she would have been sold out long ago to help her brother make money!
Thinking of this, Village Chief Wang couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If he could be a little nicer to Zhaodi, perhaps she would be willing to say something good about the village today.
So many eyes are watching the Hong Kong businessmen coming here, but they have no way to gain any benefits.
Just thinking about it, Village Chief Wang felt his heart bleeding, and he had no idea how to explain to the villagers when he returned.
He was holding his breath and naturally would not show mercy to Liu Laogen. He threw him directly onto the donkey cart and puffed on his pipe.
That night, the investment target was determined.
Gongsun Mei looked refreshed. She was a frequent visitor to the world of fame and fortune, so dealing with these people was a piece of cake for her.
"I also need local folk products, such as bacon, sausages, and other miscellaneous items. It would be great if they can be preserved for a long time, as well as exquisite little gadgets."
When she came back, she was followed by a group of people carrying things. Not to mention the cakes and other things that could be taken away, there were also quite a few things that could be given away.
There was nothing Gongsun Mei couldn't take. She wasn't a soldier, so she took the people's things as a taste test in advance and had no intention of paying for them.
The village heads of several nearby villages saw that she said to collect the money without any indication of the next step, and they were so anxious that their eyelids twitched and their eyebrows were about to dance.
"Jinzhi, after we count the items later, ask the village chief to pay according to the quoted price. We don't accept useless items here. Apart from the ones sent by Village Chief Huang, we will return any other items that are not suitable for the time being."
Shen Zhuyi spoke softly, drawing everyone's attention to himself.
She arranged everything calmly, not only to count the goods, but also to check the quality of the local people's craftsmanship. With the village chief as a ready-made target, naturally no one would make things difficult for Mrs. Wen.
"That's right. We don't ask for anything else when we give gifts except sincerity."
Village Chief Huang coughed twice and laughed particularly happily.
As long as Chen Zhu approves what they bring, the cooperation will have a high probability of success.
The others who were just filling in the numbers were now feeling a little hesitant. They looked at each other and wanted to reach out their hands.
Chen Zhuyi, standing not far away, tapped his fat hand with a bamboo stick, not too hard or too lightly: "Comrade, you are not going to take away the things you gave away, are you?"
The fat comrade smiled with a guilty conscience, even a bit bitter, and looked embarrassed at having his little tricks discovered.
"Take your things back, and take the people with you. If you have the mentality of taking advantage from the beginning, then there is no way we can cooperate."
Chen Zhuyi looked at the people at the scene calmly and sighed in disappointment.
Gongsun Mei, who had just arrived, had not yet checked their things. Seeing how Chen Zhuyi handled the matter, she smiled.
Under the oppressive gaze of the two female comrades, several people took the things they had brought with them, their old faces flushed red, and turned away.
"Once we find out, you will definitely never cooperate." Chen Zhuyi added fuel to the fire, but saw that no one was taking any action at this moment.
Village Chief Huang didn't dare to guarantee anything to the people around him. He could only point to himself and said, "We are definitely here to cooperate with you with sincerity. We even have some pickles and other things here that are even better than what they make!"
The village chief was not to be outdone and emphasized, "But here, there will be someone to look after us. Comrade Gongsun, you can rest assured."
After he had squeezed everyone out, he smiled at Chen Zhu and said flatteringly, "I promise that all the goods shipped from our village must be inspected by the Huo family."
This is equivalent to improving the status of the Huo family.
As long as they have this right, it will not be too difficult for them to do anything in the future. In order to ensure that their goods are not handled improperly, they will even try to please the Huo family.
"We will be leaving soon and may not be able to get involved in these things." Huo Zhao waved his hand and explained tactfully, not intending to let Chen Zhuyi get involved and be caught in a dilemma.
