All of this was orchestrated by their daughter, He Shuyan!
After returning home, she was repeatedly blamed by her relatives, who said that He Shuyan had ruined them and left them unable to clean up the mess.
Seeing that her daughter was making a bigger and bigger mess, Xu Jingyu had no choice but to call Xiangyang Village.
He Shuyan was secretly delighted, naively believing that she had done a good deed. Not only had she helped Sister Ya Rou, but she had also allowed people in Beijing to taste the pickled vegetables. So she said happily, "Mom, you don't need to thank Sister Ya Rou. She always does good deeds in a low-key manner. Do you think the pickled vegetables are delicious? Do you want to increase the quantity? After all, there are many workers in the factory, and so many factories need to supply. It's okay, the next batch will be ready and shipped out soon. Now, the pickled vegetable workshop is getting better and better under Ya Rou's leadership. She and Mom are both strong women."
Xu Jingyu roared on the phone, "Send you my foot! You're not allowed to send pickled vegetables anymore! The workers want to eat fresh vegetables. Can't you send some fresh cabbage instead of sauerkraut? Don't you know that not everyone likes pickled vegetables? There are many people who can't stand them!"
"How could I have given birth to such a troublemaker? You caused your mother to be scolded by the factory director and ridiculed by the competition. Even your uncles and aunts came to the He family to complain that I didn't manage my daughter well and that I ruined them. You almost made the He family lose face."
"Don't send any more pickled cabbage. The purchasing department won't accept it anymore. Let the villagers consume the ones that weren't sent. With fresh vegetables, who would eat pickled vegetables every day?"
He Shuyan was unaware of the seriousness of the situation. Only after being scolded by her mother did she realize how serious it was. "I don't know what will happen. I just see Gu Wanwan's procurement going so smoothly, and I'm not convinced... Mom, you have to help me find a channel! This pickle shop is Ya Rou's way of competing with Gu Wanwan. We can't lose to Gu Wanwan! Don't you like Sister Ya Rou the most? Do you want her to be your daughter-in-law?"
“If the pickle shop closes down, the villagers will definitely complain that Sister Ya Rou is untrustworthy. You don’t know, Gu Wanwan opened a garment factory in the village and is doing very well. She has even suppressed Sister Ya Rou.”
Xu Jingyu's first reaction was that Gu Wanwan was only so capable because of the Gu family; if it wasn't her own ability, it wasn't real ability, and there was nothing to pay attention to. What she should be disappointed about was that Gu Yarou was trying to open a small factory like others. She gained fame, but they in Beijing suffered from being criticized. For the first time in her life, she felt extremely dissatisfied with Gu Yarou. "If you can't run it, then don't run it. Do you expect me and your relatives to clean up your mess? No matter how well Gu Wanwan does, if your brother says one word, she'll still foolishly come over and pay him. Yarou hasn't even married into the He family yet, and she's already starting to squander money. She's really ignorant."
He Shuyan knew that her biological mother's impression of Gu Wanwan was still stuck in the past. "Gu Wanwan has a fiancé, and she no longer likes my brother. At first, I also thought so, but it turns out that Gu Wanwan has really changed her mind. Her new boyfriend is just as good as my brother..."
Xu Jingyu didn't listen at all, and only warned, "Alright, your grandma is waiting for Gu Wanwan's medicine ingredient. Go tell Gu Wanwan that if she doesn't want Wen Yan to ignore her, she should be sensible and cooperate. Forget about sending the pickled vegetables, don't send any more. She won't accept them anyway, understand?"
Without giving He Shuyan a chance to react, Xu Jingyu hung up the phone directly.
He Shuyan felt completely lost. Oh no, how was she going to explain this to the villagers now...?
Grandpa He Zhen sighed for the umpteenth time, "Look at you all! I told you not to go too far. You didn't cancel the engagement for Wen Yan, so he's still the grandson-in-law of a meritorious member of the Gu family!"
Grandma He scoffed dismissively, "Ya Rou is also a granddaughter, both are meritorious officials' granddaughters, does it make a difference which one I marry?"
Grandpa He glared at his wife. "Women are all talk and no action, of course there's a difference. Old Master Gu's most beloved granddaughter is Gu Wanwan, Gu Yarou can't compare. Gu Qiulin not only severed ties with Gu Huaien, but also kicked Gu Wanwan and her siblings out of the house. Do you think Old Master Gu didn't know? Now that Old Master Gu has been exonerated, the people who framed the Gu family have been arrested. I've heard that it's related to Gu Wanwan. Do you still think she's just a simple, easily fooled girl?"
"You ruined a perfectly good marriage. Can Gu Yarou compare to Gu Wanwan? Gu Yarou has close ties with the five lower families and is adept at navigating between the upper and lower families. Do you think Old Master Gu will tolerate her? Don't forget, the five upper families and the five lower families are rivals."
"Furthermore, I've recently heard some news about the Gu family, are you aware of it...?"
