After all that fuss, the two of them were finally exhausted. Lin Xiaoxiao was satisfied, but Han Qiushi wasn't so happy. In the end, Han Qiushi deliberately went outside to get some cold air. When he came back into the room, his wife was already fast asleep.
Han Qiushi was inwardly miserable, but there was nothing he could do; after all, his wife was the boss.
The next morning, Lin Xiaoxiao got up and tidied herself up. She couldn't stand staying at home all the time, and she felt more at ease going to the factory to check on things.
The clothing factory is all set up. This time, it's all brick buildings. Once it's finished, all that's needed is to clean the inside and arrange the equipment neatly. Given the limited budget, Lin Xiaoxiao didn't even think about decorating it.
Such a large factory would cost a lot of money to renovate, which Lin Xiaoxiao always felt was unnecessary.
With so much equipment to buy, we naturally tried to save money wherever possible. Some of the sewing machines in the garment factory were ones that hadn't burned out last time, so we pieced them together and made two. In all these matters, the main focus was on saving money.
The garment factory was set up, and everyone started working there a couple of days ago. As before, Lin Xiaoxiao didn't participate in the work assignments; Ren Jianguo assigned tasks based on individual circumstances. The group of people who came at the beginning have gradually become experienced workers.
A man with several new apprentices under his wing never imagined that, not only would he be blind in one eye, he would also be teaching others how to make clothes. People never know what will happen in their lives until the very last moment.
"Look at the smug look on Zuo Yan's face. He only has one more apprentice than us, but his attitude is really annoying."
"So what if there's one more person calling me 'Master'? Is there anyone among them with good qualifications? The people I train are much more efficient than him. Am I arrogant about that?"
"Heh, I can't even be bothered to talk to you. Do you iron clothes with any skill? Do you? You're getting a good deal and you're still acting innocent. I think you deserve a beating."
When Lin Xiaoxiao arrived, she quickly got to work and busied herself with everyone. When the work was almost done, she was planning to call a meeting.
Han Qiushi arrived at that moment.
Before Lin Xiaoxiao could speak, Han Qiushi took the initiative to call her outside the factory.
Lin Xiaoxiao: "What's wrong? Is something important to tell me?"
Han Qiushi nodded: "The phone number you gave me has provided a lead."
Who is it?
Han Qiushi sighed, "We can only narrow it down to a certain area, but we don't know the exact location because it's in the courtyards around Grandpa's place. The people in those courtyards have a lot of influence, so we can't just go and investigate rashly."
"I'm asking you for help. It would be best if you could take this opportunity to install a few surveillance cameras in the compound." Han Qiushi gave a brief overview of the compound. It was inhabited by former leaders who used to hold power, and their children usually held important positions and worked in public offices.
The old leader must be in the same faction as the children. Han Qiushi plans to have Lin Xiaoxiao place surveillance cameras on several houses belonging to the opposing faction. Maybe new clues will come soon.
Lin Xiaoxiao stood quietly listening and immediately agreed. Liu Hai was dead, and Wanli was like a coward, staying at home all day, doing nothing. All he did was eat or poop, and there was no useful information at all.
Now that Liu Hai is gone, the mastermind behind the arson should also face retribution.
Fortunately, Grandpa Han also lived in this compound, so it wouldn't seem abrupt if Lin Xiaoxiao and Han Qiushi went to do something. Lin Xiaoxiao originally planned to go to the compound to install surveillance cameras that night.
Han Qiushi meant for her to wait until tomorrow, when her brother-in-law and his wife would return from the research institute.
Now that the project is over, they can rest for at least a month. They didn't come to Han Qiushi's wedding, but when they heard that Lin Xiaoxiao was getting married, they insisted on coming back to see her, so that the family of relatives wouldn't feel like strangers.
As soon as the holiday started there, I packed my things and took the train back.
Lin Xiaoxiao naturally agreed. With the whole family reunited at Grandpa Han's place, the reason for going there became even more logical.
When Lin Xiaoxiao returned home in the evening, she saw large and small bags in the living room. The bags contained many daily necessities and some dried goods and ingredients, and there were also many pastries on the table.
Bai Hehua smiled at Lin Xiaoxiao and said, "Keep these pastries. Take a few with you when you go out and eat them when you're hungry. The rest aren't for you, they're for your uncle. The old man doesn't have much to eat. When they come back, they can cook for themselves."
Grandpa Han lives in a compound with bodyguards around him. His meals are usually prepared by the bodyguards from the canteen. It's not easy for one person to cook for himself, so when Grandpa Han needs to improve his diet, he eats here.
Lin Xiaoxiao was hungry, and when she saw the pretty pastries on the table, she couldn't resist picking one up and eating it. "Look how much your family loves you. They brought all the good food back for you."
"That's right. There are adults in the family now, and I've always wished there was a little kid with a sweet voice making a fuss around. That would make the house more lively."
Whether it's a boy or a girl, no one seems to have asked. Everyone seems unhappy about it. However, Han's father mentioned that he really wanted a girl. There are only boys in the family, so a sweet and gentle girl would be perfect.
However, they only mentioned it briefly, and afterwards everyone tacitly kept quiet, for fear of putting Lin Xiaoxiao under psychological pressure.
"Xiaoxiao, don't eat too much yet, dinner will be served soon," Bai Hehua reminded her again before heading to the kitchen to get busy.
Seeing Lin Xiaoxiao being showered with attention by her parents as soon as she entered the door, Han Qiushi blinked and said pitifully, "Do I suddenly have no status at home?"
"Status? You still want status? Quickly check what your uncle is missing. If I forgot to bring it, get it all for him," Han's father instructed.
Only when the children grew up could he still give them some orders. When Han Qiushi and Han Qiulin were young, he had no status whatsoever and had to take a backseat in everything he did.
Han Qiushi shrugged and could only resign himself to his work, but he couldn't help but complain: "I didn't feel anything when Han Qiulin was around, but now that he's gone, there's no one I can order around."
"Dad, did you go see the doctor today and ask if he can be discharged tomorrow?"
Upon hearing this, Han's father chuckled and gave him a brief explanation of Han Qiulin's situation: "Someone like him could have come back today, but he insists on staying for a couple more days."
"I think there's something going on with your brother."
"Something's wrong? What's wrong? Is someone else causing trouble?" Lin Xiaoxiao's curiosity was piqued, and she couldn't help but ask.
Han Qiushi couldn't help but frown: "In that case, shouldn't you come back even more?"
"No, none of that. They wouldn't dare to come openly at the hospital."
"There is a girl, and I don't know which nurse your brother has taken a fancy to. He said he wants to have a serious talk with her."
