Chapter 159 The Sly and Mischievous Song Xingzhi
Song Xingzhi froze for a moment, then quickly apologized.
"Sister Chunxue, I was wrong, I was wrong, okay?" He reached out and grabbed Zhang Chunxue's hand. "I was just saying that, and besides, education doesn't mean anything..."
"Even if Sister Chunxue is illiterate, she is still extremely amazing!"
Zhang Chunxue couldn't help but roll her eyes: "If I were completely illiterate, then I'd have to ask Director Song to give me a proper literacy lesson."
Song Xingzhi immediately gave a dry laugh: "I was really wrong... Sister Chunxue, please stop teasing me!"
He took Zhang Chunxue's hand and placed it on his face: "Sister Chunxue, please forgive me..."
Zhang Chunxue blushed: "Stop fooling around! The children are still here!"
Zhou Mingli had already carried Zhong Yuanyuan back to her room with a smile, while Song Yanzhe was rubbing his arms vigorously.
"I got goosebumps all over!"
Zhong Xiaoxiao raised her hand and smacked him on the back of the head: "You should go wash up too, so you can sleep with Xiao Shen!"
She grabbed Song Yanzhe's clothes and they went to the kitchen together.
Song Xingzhi then looked at Zhang Chunxue with an innocent expression: "They're all gone now."
Zhang Chunxue was both amused and annoyed: "You!"
Her expression turned serious again: "There's something I need to tell you."
She and Song Xingzhi returned to their room and recounted their speculations about Zhang Dashun that day.
Song Xingzhi frowned as he listened: "Could he really dare to do such a thing?"
Zhang Chunxue shook her head: "As the saying goes, cutting off someone's livelihood is like killing their parents. This has become a blood feud, so it's not surprising that he would do anything."
Song Xingzhi couldn't help but laugh: "Sister Chunxue, your analogy is truly wonderful..."
However, since Zhang Chunxue had this concern, he couldn't take it lightly.
“Tomorrow I’ll have someone keep an eye on Zhang Dashun’s family,” he said in a calm voice, which carried a reassuring quality. “If they make any unusual moves, I’ll have someone notify you immediately.”
Zhang Chunxue shook her head: "Even if he were to do something, it might not be something he does himself..."
Song Xingzhi frowned even more deeply: "Then what should we do? There's no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days!"
Zhang Chunxue thought for a moment: "I plan to set a trap and lure the enemy into it."
The two of them began to discuss it in silence.
Zhang Chunxue actually really wanted Zhang Dashun to come and do something, so that he could legitimately take down Zhang Dashun's stall and hand over the town's business to Zhou Mingli.
She shared her idea with Song Xingzhi.
Song Xingzhi pondered for a moment: "It's fine to let Mingli do business in town, which will also make it easier for her to take care of the child. When you go to the county, Chunxue, you won't have to take Yuanyuan with you."
Zhang Chunxue originally thought that Song Xingzhi might think her idea was a bit too malicious, but she didn't expect that Song Xingzhi would support her so much.
What she didn't expect was that Song Xingzhi was also giving her advice.
“I can have someone go to Zhang Dashun’s stall and cause some trouble. For example, they can buy his braised dishes, taste a little, and then return them, complaining that they are not as good as your braised dishes.”
"Or for example, deliberately provoking him, saying that he's been making braised food for so long, but he can't even earn as much as someone who just started selling it..." Song Xingzhi shrugged, "After all, isn't making money his main concern right now?"
"After being stimulated like that, even if he didn't want to do anything, he couldn't help but want to do something."
Zhang Chunxue looked at him in shock: "Wow, Xingzhi... I didn't realize you were such a heartless person."
Song Xingzhi smiled shyly: "Generally speaking, I'm a pretty good person. As long as others don't provoke me, I'll be fine."
He added, "I also can't mess with Sister Chunxue or other people I care about."
Zhang Chunxue was genuinely surprised.
After all, Song Xingzhi has been in the village for so many years. At most, people think he is cold in matters of the heart. He is also very professional in handling official business and cares about interpersonal relationships.
Overall, he is still considered a good person by everyone.
Zhang Chunxue realized that this person was actually a bit cunning.
He is not the rigid type of person, nor is he someone who would restrict himself by rules and dogma.
He is even willing to abandon some principles for the sake of the people he cares about.
For example, enticing Zhang Dashun to do bad things on his own initiative.
Zhang Chunxue cupped Song Xingzhi's face in her hands: "Xingzhi, I really like you more and more."
Song Xingzhi's eyes sparkled: "Then Sister Chunxue must like me more and more."
Zhang Chunxue blushed: "I meant rare."
Song Xingzhi chuckled softly: "In my mind, these two words mean the same thing..."
Zhang Chunxue coughed lightly: "Let's continue discussing how to lure the enemy into a trap!"
The two chatted for most of the night, and finally went to bed after Song Xingzhi kept urging them to.
The next morning, Zhou Mingli went to work at the hospital, Song Xingzhi went to the brigade headquarters, Zhang Chunxue handed Zhong Yuanyuan over to Zhong Xiaoxiao to look after, and then took the two brothers, Song Yanzhe and Song Yanshen, to the meat processing plant.
In the sweltering summer heat, she has to buy the freshest ingredients every day to ensure their freshness.
To Zhang Chunxue's surprise, she also encountered Zhang Dashun at the meat processing plant.
Zhang Dasuan was clearly also there to buy ingredients. When he saw Zhang Chunxue, his expression darkened, and then he started speaking in a sarcastic tone.
"Oh my, isn't this Widow Zhang? Business must be good, coming to the meat processing plant to buy things so early in the morning?"
He then feigned sudden realization: "Oh, I heard that Widow Zhang remarried? You'd better be careful, lest you become a widow again."
Upon hearing this, Song Yanzhe's expression changed, and he immediately wanted to get angry.
What does that damn bastard mean? Is he cursing his second uncle?
Zhang Chunxue smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I've been a widow once, and I won't be a widow a second time."
"But you'd better tell your wife to be careful, lest she become a widow."
Now it was Zhang Dashun's turn to change his expression.
Song Yanzhe was almost ready to applaud his second aunt.
Well done! That's exactly what we're doing – giving them a taste of their own medicine.
Zhang Dashun glared at Zhang Chunxue: "You really are sharp-tongued!"
Zhang Chunxue smiled again: "Not only am I sharp-tongued, but I also make pretty good braised dishes. If you don't mind, Mr. Zhang, you can come to my stall this afternoon to buy some to try."
These words were utterly devastating. Zhang Dashun was so angry that he trembled all over. He pointed at Zhang Chunxue and stammered "you, you, you" for a long time, but couldn't come up with anything coherent.
However, Zhang Chunxue wasn't about to let him off so easily. Her smile grew even brighter: "Speaking of which, I came to the meat processing plant early this morning to buy ingredients because business is good... Mr. Zhang, your business should be so-so, what are you doing here?"
