With her hair a mess, Old Mrs. Tian gritted her teeth and said, "No way, I'm going to find Tian Zhaodi. That brat dared to help her son betray his own brother. She deserves a beating!"
After she finished speaking, she suddenly gasped for breath, rolled her eyes, and fainted.
"mother!"
The two daughters-in-law were startled and quickly got up to support Old Mrs. Tian on either side.
The old Chinese medicine doctor took Grandma Tian's pulse, looked up and said, "It's nothing, just a sudden rush of heat to the heart. She'll feel better after lying down for a while."
"At your age, why are you so angry!"
The old Chinese medicine doctor shook his head and sighed in disapproval.
Tian Guofu picked up the old lady and gently placed her next to Tian Guoqiang. The room fell silent for a moment.
Zhou Chunhua angrily said, "If Mother can't go, we sisters-in-law can go! We'll give Tian Zhaodi a good beating! That bitch is incredibly audacious!"
Tian Fuqiang's wife chimed in, "That's right. Before, they couldn't even kick a limp fart out of us, but now they've learned to scheme against us."
Tian Guofu's eyes were also bloodshot; he transferred all his resentment towards the Xu family onto Tian Zhaodi.
Tian Guoqiang calmed down and said calmly, "Don't be impulsive."
"The Xu family is so ruthless and hates Lu Yang, yet they haven't laid a hand on Tian Zhaodi and her two children. They must be wary of something."
“Let’s find out first. Lu Yang was able to bankrupt the Xu family two years ago, so he must have very strong connections in the county.”
Tian Guofu scratched his head, feeling extremely irritated. He really wanted to punch Tian Zhaodi in the face, but he couldn't now.
After a long silence, Tian Guoqiang said wearily, "Uncle Li, let the Xu family pay for the medical expenses. We'll head back now."
He got off the ground and, with Zhou Chunhua's help, walked outside.
Tian Guofu carried his mother and wife on his back as they walked behind them, the group returning to their hometown covered in dust.
It took a week for Grandma Tian and Tian Guoqiang to recover, but by then it was already New Year's Day.
No one was in the mood to cause trouble during the New Year. After New Year's Day, the Tian brothers went to the county to inquire about who Lu Yang's backer was.
Lu Yang was unaware of these matters; he was busy with work at the Qingjin Garment Factory.
After recovering, Yu Jinhua took over her family business, but unfortunately, she wasn't cut out for business.
She simply transferred all of her family's businesses to Lu Yang, offering a reasonable price, but it was still not cheap.
Lu Yang spent three million to acquire all the businesses.
After settling these matters, he handed over the management of the two small workshop-like garment factories to warehouse manager Wu Jing. These two workshops were previously places that imitated Hong Kong and Taiwan styles of clothing.
There are at least a thousand such small workshops in Guangzhou. Lu Yang didn't pay much attention to them, but simply let Wu Jing continue to run them, not to make Hong Kong and Taiwan imitations, but to share the orders of Qingjin Garment Factory.
The warehouse was used for storing goods. Many of the clothes that Yu Jinhua's family hadn't sold before were all sold to Lu Yang. Lu Yang planned to clear out all these clothes before the Chinese New Year.
Just then, he received a call from Zheng Wei.
Zheng Wei smiled and recounted the conflict between the Tian brothers and the Xu family, which didn't surprise Lu Yang at all.
If it weren't for the help from the people at Chen's Restaurant, the Xu family would have already gone to cause trouble for Tian Zhaodi and her group.
Unable to exact revenge on the Lu Yang family, these people harbored a deep resentment, which they now vented on the Tian brothers.
He thought for a moment and said, "There's no point in having you here any longer. You should go back to Kyoto. I'll contact you if anything comes up."
Zheng Wei readily agreed, as the north was simply too cold, and he had long wanted to leave.
After hanging up with Zheng Wei, he immediately called Lu's mother.
While Lu's mother was busy at the noodle shop, she received Lu Yang's call and asked with a smile, "How are you doing? It's been so long since you called home."
Lu Yang briefly explained his recent situation and then mentioned the incident of the Tian brothers being beaten up.
Tian Zhaodi sighed and said, "When Du Miao came to eat noodles, he mentioned that your uncle was inquiring about your connections in the county, but Du Miao turned him away."
The Tian brothers dared not provoke Tian Zhaodi for the time being, which is why Tian Zhaodi has been less anxious these past few days.
Lu Yang sneered and said, "We live in a society governed by law now. If they go too far, just call the police. Anyway, we'll either live in the provincial capital or in Guangzhou from now on."
What they say about us in the village has nothing to do with us!
Tian Zhaodi was taken aback. She had long been aware of her son's coldness, but she was still somewhat surprised.
However, Lu Yang's words also made sense. Tian Zhaodi increasingly disliked contact with the Tian family. With these people, not taking advantage of them was considered a loss.
The two chatted for a while, then Lu Yang hung up the phone and went back to his work.
While he was busy with work here, Lu Qing also took a car to Guangzhou.
After arriving in Guangzhou, she first cautiously approached Da Liu's stall to observe.
But she went for two days and didn't see Da Liu, which puzzled her.
After thinking for a moment, she went to the place where Da Liu used to have a stall. She first selected some clothes, and then casually asked, "I remember there used to be a man with the surname Liu who had a stall here."
The woman running the stall rolled her eyes and said, "They're inside!"
Lu Qing was startled, and asked in a trembling voice, "How did you get in?"
The woman at the stall casually arranged the items on her stall: "He tried to poison his wife, but he was discovered and went to jail."
He said the poison was given to him by a young woman, but no one can prove it.
"Anyway, he was the one who administered the drug, and he's been in jail for several months now."
Lu Qing felt her blood run cold. This idiot was discovered so easily.
Fortunately, she didn't tell Liu her real name. Even if the police investigated further, they could only find out that she used to be an actress named Lu Qing.
But now she's called Lu Ying, not Lu Qing, which saved her from disaster.
Despite her fear, she bought about a thousand sets of clothes from the stall and had them shipped to the post office to be mailed back to Kunming.
She immediately bought a train ticket to return home, not daring to stay there for even a moment longer.
Even as she sat on the train heading back, she was still feeling uneasy.
He secretly vowed to himself that he would come here less often in the future, lest he get caught by the local police. She didn't want to be shot.
After a two-day, two-night train journey, when I returned to Kunming, Mu Jiaojiao's shop was already closed.
Even before she went to Guangzhou, Mu Jiaojiao had told her that she was going to travel to the south with her boyfriend.
The streets were filled with the festive atmosphere of the Lunar New Year, and although most shops were open, business was slow.
Many people gathered in twos and threes, chatting and laughing as they passed by her, and Lu Qing felt an unprecedented loneliness.
After thinking it over, she decided to risk going to the provincial capital to find Shen Xuwen.
Several months had passed since they last met, and she really wanted to see Shen Xuwen, even if it was just to exchange a few words.
With that in mind, he immediately bought a train ticket and, without even having a meal, took the train to the provincial capital.
