Chapter 56 Dealing with Qin Liang and Li Fen
Jiang Ruzhen was extremely anxious, wondering if the two men had come to her house to cause trouble after they came out.
I didn't sleep well at night because I had something on my mind.
I felt listless when I left the train station early the next morning.
"Mom, you're back? I've come to pick you up." The second son waved to Jiang Ruzhen from a distance.
Jiang Ruzhen immediately ran over anxiously, "Second brother, has something happened at home?"
"Mom, you're amazing! Even I..."
"Tell me quickly, what happened? Did Li Fen and Qin Liang cause trouble again?"
"Mom, what are you talking about? Weren't those two arrested? Have they been released?"
Jiang Ruzhen paused upon hearing this, "Then you said something happened at home, what happened?"
The second son stepped aside, revealing a brand-new tricycle behind him. "Ta-da! While you were away, I decided to buy a new tricycle myself. It cost me eighty yuan. Isn't that a big deal for our family?"
"Damn it, Shen Lao Er! I think you're just asking for trouble again..."
Jiang Ruzhen was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat. She rolled up her sleeves and swung her two iron palms at the back of the second son.
The second child ran and shouted, "It feels so good, so good! Mom, I feel like I have lice all over my body these past few days since you left, with no one scolding me or patting me."
Jiang Ruzhen was panting heavily after giving him a loving lecture.
Jiang Ruzhen was helped onto the backbend donkey by her second son like an empress dowager. When the two of them got out of the train station, there were no people around.
The second son's playful expression instantly turned serious. "Mom, what's this about Qin Liang and Li Fen causing trouble?"
Jiang Ruzhen was also thinking about this problem. "I learned from your Uncle Lu that the two people had been released. I thought they would come to our house to cause trouble as soon as possible, so I rushed back in a hurry."
"I'll take you home in a bit, then I'll ask the brothers to find out what happened." The second brother knew this was serious and quickly reassured his mother.
"Hey, second brother, I'll go to our little house and wait for your news."
"Those people Mom asked you to find back then should come in handy now. Once you're sure they're back, start having them carry out the plan," Jiang Ruzhen said.
"Okay, I understand."
The second son escorted Jiang Ruzhen to the small building, then rode off on his backward donkey and disappeared in a flash.
When Jiang Ruzhen went inside, she saw the boss painting the walls with the workers. The smell was extremely pungent, so she quickly went out to the mall and bought dozens of masks, which she then distributed to the workers.
Workers don't pay much attention to their health and lack awareness of safety precautions.
Seeing how considerate the hosts were, they were extremely grateful and thanked them profusely.
Jiang Ruzhen took a walk around and found that the workers nowadays were incredibly skilled and didn't slack off.
She was very satisfied. She took her eldest son out to the market and bought several large watermelons. She cut them up at the door and shared them with the workers.
The workers were refreshed and invigorated by the food, and they worked even harder than before.
The eldest son silently kept Jiang Ruzhen's actions in mind. He was indeed still very inexperienced in interpersonal communication and needed to learn more from his mother.
After a short while, the second son returned.
He quietly pulled Jiang Ruzhen aside and whispered something in her ear.
"Mom, those two did come back, but they went to Old Hu's place first."
"What are they going to do?"
"I heard that they went there and fought a battle. The shipyard took back their house, and their furniture, pots and pans were sent to Old Hu's place."
Li Fen and Qin Liang originally wanted to get their things back, but Old Hu denied it, and a fight broke out.
"And then what happened?"
"Later, Li Fen lay down on the ground and said that Old Hu had hurt her and that she had to pay compensation. Old Hu had no choice but to give them fifty yuan and leave."
Jiang Ruzhen snorted coldly, "That old man who shovels manure is quite rich. What about Qin Lanlan?"
"Qin Lanlan is still locked up by Old Hu. Every day, all she does is torture and beat her."
"Don't her mother and brother care?"
"Why should we care? Those two are selfish and only care about their own survival. They only acknowledge whoever has money as their father. Who cares about their daughter or whether their sister is suffering?"
"So that means those two are now clinging to Old Hu? Where are they staying?"
"They took the money and rented a house near Old Hu's house. When they ran out of money, they would go and cause trouble for Old Hu."
They were making trouble for Old Hu, and he was taking it all out on Qin Lanlan. She's almost driven to the brink of collapse.
"It's true that evil people always have their own evil counterparts to deal with them."
Jiang Ruzhen was very satisfied with Qin Lanlan's current outcome, but she was unhappy that the two of them were living such carefree lives.
"Have your people made contact with Qin Liang?"
The second brother nodded, "We've made contact. I've already played a few rounds with Qin Liang and they've won some money."
Qin Liang is now extremely addicted; he's basically spent all the money he got from Old Hu on it.
"That's good. You must protect yourself and not reveal your whereabouts or give anyone leverage over you. Have someone else do all the contact with those two."
"Mom, don't worry, I understand."
The mother and son secretly discussed something for a long time without saying anything or telling the eldest son, which made the eldest son very depressed.
He felt that the person his mother trusted most now was his second son, and she let him do everything.
His older brother was kept in the dark about everything. He sighed and decided to work hard to renovate the shop and win back his mother's trust.
Every day, the second brother would ride his new tricycle with his brothers to sell clothes. Once the city market was basically saturated, they would go to the surrounding counties to sell their clothes.
They also had to keep an eye on Qin Liang and Li Fen's movements every day, keeping them extremely busy.
About ten days later, the shop's renovation was almost complete, and the upstairs rooms had been finished and ventilated long ago.
There was no luxurious decoration at this time; each room was simply repainted and furnished with various newly purchased furniture.
The fourth child's high school has already started, and the room he chose is on the third floor, near the far east side.
They called it "to receive every drop of the essence of the sunrise in the East."
Jiang Ruzhen mocked him, saying that if he absorbed some more of the moon's essence, he could become a spirit by attaching a tail!
The room next to the fourth brother's is the eldest brother's, then the second brother's, and then the third brother's.
The other boys chose their own furniture styles for their rooms, but since Xin Xin wasn't home, Jiang Ruzhen was in charge of decorating her room.
Jiang Ruzhen bought Xin Xin the most expensive things: a pink wrought iron bed, pink curtains, a pink wardrobe, a desk and chair, and even the trash can was all pink.
She lacked the ability in her past life, which caused her daughter so much suffering.
She will spoil her daughter, whom she lost and then found again, and make sure she becomes the happiest little princess in the world.
Just as the family finished tidying up the room and packed their belongings to move, the news of the small fishing village's relocation finally arrived belatedly.
Xiao Changgeng enthusiastically promoted the benefits of relocation through the loudspeaker.
The land for housing will be acquired at four times the original purchase price, while the barren hills will be reclaimed at three times the original price.
In one fell swoop, Jiang Ruzhen's initial investment of 5,500 yuan doubled to more than 20,000 yuan, making her a huge profit.
She secretly discussed with Xiao Changgeng that she would collect her relocation compensation after everyone else had received theirs; there was no rush, and she didn't want others to know that she had bought so much land.
Xiao Changgeng agreed without hesitation. It was because of Jiang Ruzhen's reminder that he also bought two more plots of land and a barren mountain.
They earned an extra five thousand yuan, and the couple were so happy that they couldn't sleep at night.
Without alerting the villagers, Jiang Ruzhen quietly received the relocation compensation a week later and then moved to the city without a word.
The shop has been renovated. Looking at the spacious and bright hall, Jiang Ruzhen thought that it was time to change her approach to her clothing business.
Selling clothes door-to-door is not a long-term solution, and besides, outdated clothes will eventually have a limited number of buyers.
Once the two surrounding counties have sold out, those out-of-season clothes will no longer sell.
For long-term development, she still needs to focus on business with the high-end market.
She decided to go to Yangcheng to visit her parents and two older brothers, and then buy a batch of the latest clothing styles from Lu Mingzheng.
