As soon as the news that the health park was open to employees for free came out, many people from the town came to visit.
Outsiders watched with envy, but didn't know who to complain to. No matter how high the ticket price was, the park just wouldn't open. The facilities in the park needed maintenance to prevent another corpse from appearing out of nowhere.
Who wouldn’t understand such a clear indication?
There were two groups of people saying that Boss Zhou was being too hypocritical and that it would be fine once the truth was revealed! Why would he just leave the money lying around?
One group complained that the county was unfair, dragging its feet for days after the investigation revealed errors. They blamed Mr. Zhou for closing the park for maintenance. Did Mr. Zhou need the money? Mr. Zhou wanted justice and fairness.
There was a huge noise outside, but the health garden was peaceful. Zhou's father and mother and Professor Chu were annoyed and hid inside. Guo Jia naturally followed with his three children.
"You kid, why didn't you notify us in advance for such a big commotion?" Professor Chu gently scolded the student, but it would have been better if he hadn't scolded her! That look was a compliment, wasn't it?
"Hey, hey, I called you here because you think it's cold. Is it cold outside?"
"It's not cold at all," Professor Chu couldn't help but laugh out loud, "It's quite lively!"
Then, Ling Quan and Dong Yunrong came with Aunt Ling. "Think about it, your aunt..."
"It's okay," Zhou Xiang waved his hand, "It's good for her to come in and recuperate for a while. Mom, you should walk with her more."
Aunt Ling is old after all, and has been locked up for so long that she is not as sharp-tongued as before. Instead, she is too quiet and a little dull. As long as she doesn't cause trouble, Zhou Xiang can still tolerate her.
The next day, Jiang Weihua took A Lian and his mother and hid inside. "It's unbearable to stay outside. People keep nagging you every day and asking me to talk you over. I'm clapping my hands to encourage you! What's there to talk you over? You've been bullied to the point of being stepped on, and you still keep your head down and let them step on you?"
On the third day, Jiang Wei Zhong also came with Liu Gui Zhen. His son had been arranged to live in the school dormitory, so he didn't have to worry about him. The couple also came in to get some peace and quiet. Zhou wanted to arrange for both families to live in Building No. 2, and sent them firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, and asked them to live separately.
The hotel helped to purchase all their daily necessities, and they lived a leisurely life isolated from the world, which was hard for Lu Zhaochong and Lu Jin.
One of them helps to oversee the decoration of Zhou's house, and the other helps to deal with inquiries from various acquaintances. They are exhausted both physically and mentally.
After the health park paid its February taxes, the county leadership held a meeting. No one could accept such a huge difference in the amount.
However, when reporting to the higher-ups, they didn't care at all and said that local financial problems should be solved by the localities themselves.
The March tax list made the county even more uneasy. Apart from some miscellaneous small taxes and personal income tax withheld from employees, the business tax was zero.
All the projects in the health park have been checked. Except for two days of operation in early February, the park has been closed for the rest of the time.
The county knew Zhou Xiang's temper. The market town had been closed before. This time, it was because there was no specific explanation after the wrong verdict of the murder case, so such a commotion occurred. But what should they do?
The county hasn't found a solution yet! Xue Zhendong's parents, along with his siblings, wife, and children, dozens of them, gathered at the entrance to the health park and started a disturbance.
The security guard called the police. After the police came and took away these dozens of people, they came again a few days later. This time, they were all elderly people in their seventies and eighties and children under the age of six.
The health park issued an announcement: Due to improper maintenance, it will be permanently closed.
The county quickly sent people to arrest the people who were causing trouble at the entrance of the health park, and then called the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to calm the people coming to the health park and make sure the business license was not cancelled. They would deal with the matter immediately.
The higher-ups were fed up with Huai County's procrastination and had no choice but to send a few people to investigate the matter.
Zhou Xiang didn't know what the county was doing, but after his business license was not cancelled, he waited. What he waited for was Yi Xiangfan and Wu Minyi, followed by several middle-aged men and women, and two young people.
Ling Xiaotong and Zhou Yuan sat down next to their mother (aunt) angrily.
Zhou Xiang patted their hands and said to Yi Xiangfan and his group, "Sit down and talk!"
Zhou Xiang’s cold attitude made it impossible for them to argue with him. Who told them to go against reason?
After they sat down across from Zhou Xiang, one of the middle-aged women spoke up. "You're Tongtong's mother, right? I'm Wang Jingxia, Xiang Fan's mother. This is Yi Jianrong, my husband Xiang Fan's father. The person next to me is Zheng Zhifang, Minyi's mother. The person next to her is Wu Guangwei, Minyi's father. The two people sitting on either side of them are colleagues from their workplace, and the ones standing behind them are their children."
A colleague? A colleague's child?
"Hello, Comrade Wang, Comrade Yi! Hello, Comrade Zheng, Comrade Wu!" Zhou Xiang greeted them politely, then angrily said to Yi Xiangfan and Wu Minyi, "Why didn't you tell us ahead of time that your parents were coming? So we could go and greet them. How rude!"
Excuse me, why don't you just stand up! You can call them brother or sister, or even Xiangfan's parents or Minyi's parents. Why are you calling them comrades?
Wang Jingxia and Zheng Zhifang didn't dare complain. Their son finally had the idea of getting married, and even if the woman refused to give them face, they had to accept it. Who told them to come here without permission? It was rude. And they came with a purpose.
Yi Xiangfan and Wu Minyi saw their aunt was burning with anger towards them and quickly admitted their mistakes. "We were too anxious and didn't understand these things. We hurriedly dragged our parents over."
Wang Jingxia and Zheng Zhifang felt sorry for their son and winked at their husbands. Yi Jianrong and Wu Guangwei winked at their colleagues respectively. If it weren't for them, how could their family have given in to their son's matter?
The two men beside them stood up and called to the young men behind them. The two pairs of father and son bowed to Zhou Xiang. "I'm sorry, Boss Zhou. These two kids were provoked by a few words and took on this matter. A simple apology can't offset the grievance, Boss Zhou. What do you think we should do? It's up to you."
Zhou Xiang just watched these people flirting with each other quietly without saying a word. Wang Jingxia and Zheng Zhifang were obviously people who loved their son, but a good mother may not necessarily be a good mother-in-law.
Looking at the grievances of the two girls beside him, Zhou Xiang looked at Yi Xiangfan and Wu Minyi disappointedly. Yi Xiangfan and Wu Minyi were frightened by their looks. There was complete indifference in his aunt's eyes, as cold as if she was looking at a stranger.
Suddenly, they both remembered the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law question they had asked before they were qualified to pursue the couple. They stood up, trying to save the situation, but it was too late. Zhou Xiang said, "Okay! Let's put this matter behind us. Please go back!"
"aunt!"
"aunt!"
Yi Xiangfan and Wu Minyi exclaimed, they were wrong, they were wrong, please give them a chance, Auntie!
Zhou wanted to stand up and offered his hand, "Please come in!"
Several middle-aged people were stunned. Was this just a passing revelation? Why was it so unbelievable? After all, the health park had been closed for over two months. It was obvious how much revenue it was making every day. After all, the health park had a daily reservation quota!
Even if the daily traffic was halved after the incident, the income was still enough to make people jealous. If no one was jealous, how could they be targeted?
