Xu Luoxue clearly still didn't realize the seriousness of the matter. "I understand. You don't want sauerkraut, you want other pickled vegetables, right? Or you want to help our pickle shop expand its sales? Auntie really loves my cousin. She supports her even before she's married into the family. Unlike some people who don't have that kind of luck. No wonder they don't like their ex-husband's family because of their bad personality and temper. No wonder they broke off the engagement."
Whenever she had the chance, she would subtly criticize Gu Wanwan, little did she know that she was about to make a huge, unpredictable fool of herself.
Gu Yarou was more composed than Xu Luoxue, who was more impulsive. "Did something happen in Beijing?"
At this moment, He Wenyan's voice came from behind He Shuyan, "The factories in Beijing are no longer buying pickled vegetables."
Seeing her brother confess everything, He Shuyan knew she could no longer hide the truth, so she had no choice but to tell the whole story: "Our pickled vegetables are ruined. My mom just called and scolded me, saying we signed the order on our own initiative, that we cheated them, and that they either got reprimanded by the factory manager or demoted..."
“The factory workers all want to eat fresh vegetables. It’s okay to eat pickled vegetables once or twice occasionally, but they are not happy to eat them every day because not everyone likes pickled vegetables. This led to a protest by the workers, and the factory had to take it seriously.”
“My mom told us to stop sending them, because no one will eat them. The factory still has a lot of pickled vegetables, and we don’t know what to do with them. My mom was originally a good candidate to be promoted to factory manager, but she was scolded by the factory manager this time, and her promotion is ruined…”
Actually, when she was setting up the pickled vegetable shop, her brother He Wenyan had advised her that it would be best to ask her mother and relatives for their opinions before making decisions on her own, so as to avoid unnecessary losses and misunderstandings.
At that time, in order to help Gu Yarou fight against Gu Wanwan's garment factory, she put in all her effort and disregarded the consequences to help her mother's relatives purchase pickled vegetables. She wanted to solve the factory's purchasing problem, solve the village's employment problem, and incidentally help Gu Yarou restore her reputation.
However, she overlooked one problem: everyone has different tastes, and not everyone can accept pickled vegetables. She herself doesn't like them, so how can she force others to accept them?
Now things have gotten out of hand. Although her biological mother didn't verbally scold her, her tone made Gu Yarou feel that her mother was blaming her because her food had ruined Gu Yarou's image in her mother's mind.
She was terrified that her family would have a different opinion of Ya Rou, and that Ya Rou would follow in Gu Wanwan's footsteps and be disliked by her elders to the point of death!
Of course, she regretted her incompetence even more. Her brother said that opening a factory was a waste of time and that she was not as smart, capable and well-connected as Gu Wanwan. She should have known better than to try to prove herself and drag her mother and relatives down with her, and cause Gu Yarou to lose the trust of the villagers.
Especially the mother, who was originally the candidate to succeed the factory director during the promotion stage, lost the opportunity to become the factory director because of the wrong decision to pickle vegetables.
My mother is a strong-willed woman; how could she accept being outdone by her rival?
And what about these villagers? When they find out they've lost their jobs, I wonder if they'll blame them?
The answer is yes!
Some villagers who support Sister Wan couldn't help but make sarcastic remarks.
"Didn't they promise that the pickling workshop would keep operating indefinitely? Even if Ya Rou and the other educated youth left Xiangyang Village, the pickling workshop would still be there, and it would continue to benefit the villagers of Xiangyang Village?"
"We haven't even gotten back to the city yet, and the pickle shop is already going out of business? Isn't that obviously a scam? Those dozens of employees at the pickle shop are going to lose their jobs."
"How pitiful. When the factory went bankrupt, he was still a temporary worker with no chance of becoming a permanent employee. Look at what I'm saying, the factory is gone, what's the point of becoming a permanent employee? Didn't you like Sister Wan's factory before? You always had to compare yourself to others. Now Sister Wan's factory is getting orders one after another, all from all over the country, even from the Shanghai Department Store."
