Manager Wang took Qiao Zhixia to the factory cafeteria, had a simple meal, and then discussed cooperation matters with her.

They are a standard factory and all procedures need to follow standard procedures.

Strictly speaking, it is necessary to sign a supply contract and pay a deposit to Qiao Zhixia, but Qiao Zhixia is just a farmer at the moment and has no formal company background, so he cannot guarantee the rights and interests of the manufacturer. Therefore, he can only pay the full amount after the goods arrive.

After Manager Wang learned about Qiao Zhixia's basic situation, he sincerely suggested:

"Comrade Qiao, I suggest that you consider registering an agricultural company. This will be more helpful for our subsequent cooperation and Comrade Qiao's future career development."

Qiao Zhixia also thought it made sense. She couldn't run a street stall all her life, nor would she be limited to opening a store to make money.

If she wants to attract more high-quality customers, she must have her own company as a facade.

Qiao Zhixia and Manager Wang agreed that Yonghui Food Factory would send a car to pick up the goods at the address she provided in ten days.

By then, the tomatoes in her field should be ripe.

After saying goodbye to Manager Wang, she went to the Industrial and Commercial Department to learn about the procedures and funds required to register a company.

There were no problems with funds and procedures, so she decided to set the registered address at the store she was opening.

After the store in the village is opened, she will consider developing in the provincial capital, but she will have to wait until the spiritual spring is upgraded to the intermediate level and more crops are unlocked.

Before leaving, she bought two kilograms of egg cake and a bag of White Rabbit milk candy for her niece Yaya, and decided to go to the town to visit them.

My sister's husband's family lives in their town. After my sister's father-in-law passed away some time ago, my sister took over and became a civil servant at the town's grain station. My mother-in-law has been living with them ever since.

Qiao Zhixia once heard her sister complain that her mother-in-law was not a worry-free person. Not only did she favor boys over girls, but she was also good at sowing discord between her sister and her son.

But at that time, my sister and that man had a good relationship, and that man was willing to protect her, so she could just endure it and get by.

But later... After her senior Qiao Zhixia turned into a spirit, she saw with her own eyes that man beating her sister, who was pregnant with her second child when she was beaten.

At that time, there was no one to support my sister. My sister felt that life was hopeless, so she jumped into the river with Yaya in her arms.

Whenever she thought of this, Qiao Zhixia felt a pang of pain in her heart.

Her elder sister has protected her since she was young, and would give her anything delicious or fun first.

Grandpa and grandma favored boys over girls, and would always scold and beat them, but every time the elder sister got beaten, she would protect her.

One time, her second aunt's cousin stole some dimes that grandpa had placed under her pillow. Grandpa tied her to a bench and beat her without asking any questions. She was too young to resist at the time and was almost knocked unconscious by grandpa.

In desperation, the elder sister pushed the grandfather down, and the grandfather, in a rage, kicked the elder sister so hard that her spleen ruptured.

If my father had not returned from his carpentry work in time and sent my sister to the hospital, and my mother had not borrowed money from my uncle and grandfather for the operation, my sister would have died when she was ten years old.

What's hateful is that the old man of the Qiao family learned that it was his cousin who stole the money during his sister's surgery, but he not only did not feel guilty, but instead felt that his father was wasting money to save his sister.

If a girl dies, she dies. Instead of spending that money on surgery, it would be better to give him some more wine to honor him.

Qiao Zhixia hated that old man from then on.

But her cowardly sister was always brave for her.

Such a good sister, she should be happy.

She deserves it.

Qiao Zhixia got off the bus in town, walked through the back streets and alleys, and came to the grain station yard of her sister's in-laws.

As soon as I went upstairs, I saw a familiar little figure standing outside the door stupidly.

A woman's dissatisfied voice could be heard from inside the room: "How dare this money-loser you gave birth to challenge my Xuyang? If Xuyang didn't still have some feelings for you, he would have left you long ago."

"Mom, you are also a woman, why do you say these in front of Yaya?" My sister's voice was full of fatigue.

"Women are divided into noble and lowly. I am a good woman. My husband and son both have stable jobs. But what about you? Your mother's family is so poor. If you leave my Xuyang family, you will starve to death!"

"My mother's family is poor, but my parents are honest and loyal to their relationships. They don't have their eyes on the pot while eating from the bowl."

"Bah~ Xuyang just had two meals with someone, and you're suspicious? I think you're just too idle, so you keep staring at the little things under your man's crotch. Don't say that there is no such thing. Even if there is, you should reflect on yourself. Who made you unable to have children? Your mother can't have children. Isn't it genetic? My Xuyang married you..."

"Sister——" Qiao Zhixia couldn't bear it anymore and interrupted her sister and her mother-in-law coldly.

"...Aunt." Yaya turned her aggrieved face and gave her a smile that seemed to want to cry but not to.

Qiao Zhixia walked over and picked up Yaya, "Yaya, your aunt is here to see you."

"Zhizhi, how come you have time to come here today? Come in and sit down." Qiao Chudong looked embarrassed, but her eyes were sore uncontrollably.

"Tsk~ The autumn wind is coming again..." Although the mother-in-law's weird voice was very soft, it was still clearly heard by the two sisters.

It's no wonder that the He family would humiliate her. Ever since Qiao Chudong and He Xuyang got married, the two old men from the Qiao family and Qiao Laosan's family have often come to the He family to make trouble.

Because the He family worked at the grain station, they could always find a way to get fine grains. The Qiao family also knew this, so they often took advantage of Qiao Chudong's family in the name of their mother's family.

At first, when He Xuyang and Qiao Chudong got married, the He family didn't care about these things. However, the two old guys in Qiao's family became more and more demanding and came over every few days to improve their lives.

As time went by, He Xuyang's attitude towards Qiao Chudong became much colder. After the birth of Yaya, the He family became even more dissatisfied with Qiao Chudong.

But since Qiao Zhixia is here today, it is necessary to clarify some things with the He family.

"Aunt, my parents have already separated from my grandparents and my third uncle's family. From now on, they have nothing to do with us. So if they come to our house again, you should know what to do, right?"

"Our parents separated from them?" Qiao Chudong was surprised.

You know, she had secretly persuaded her parents to separate from them a few years ago, but her father didn't want to.

The mother-in-law was also stunned for a moment, but soon her face fell, "So what if it's divided? You ate and took so much from us before, can you take it back?"

"Mom..." Qiao Chudong saw that Qiao Zhixia had an unhappy expression and wanted her mother-in-law to shut up.

Qiao Zhixia continued, "I guess Auntie has kept a record of the money, right? I will give you the money they took from you."

"What did you say?" The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law said in unison, one was shocked and the other was happy.

Qiao Zhixia knew that her sister's mother-in-law kept a book of accounts, which recorded how much the Qiao family had taken from them.

Since they and the Qiao family had not separated at that time, even if she was unlucky, she could just support her sister and take a little loss to settle the accounts.

"Are you serious?" Mrs. Lin asked Qiao Zhixia again.

Qiao Zhixia said coldly, "Yes, go get the account book and settle it! After you settle it, don't bully my sister anymore. She doesn't owe you anything."

"Okay, okay. I'll get it right away." Grandma Lin went into the house happily.

"Zhizhi..." Qiao Chudong's tears fell.

"Sister, it's okay." Qiao Zhixia comforted her with a smile. If a problem can be solved with money, what kind of problem is that?

Mrs. Lin put on her reading glasses and started to count the money on the abacus.

She counted the amount three times, and finally concluded that they had taken away a total of 80 kilograms of rice, 36 kilograms of flour, six cans of luncheon meat, 5 kilograms of pork, 5 kilograms of pork fat, and 1 kilogram of sugar.

Qiao Zhixia took it and looked at it, then said:

"I'll count all the flour as Fuqiang flour, the rice as high-quality rice, the luncheon meat as two yuan a box, the pork and lard as the highest price in the market, and the sugar as one yuan a pound. The total is... fourteen yuan and eighty cents, rounded up to ten yuan."

After she finished speaking, she took out 500 yuan notes and a 50-yuan bill from the bag beside her and handed them to Grandma Lin.

Mrs. Lin was still confused until she took the money. She actually gave it to her.

The sun rose in the west today?

"Sister, take Yaya home with me now! Mom and Dad miss you too."
