Chapter 162 Da Ni's Cousin Arrives with Her Younger Brother
Lin Baozhu snorted in annoyance:
"What are you running around for! If we want Auntie's family to settle down in the village smoothly, we need a legitimate reason! Uncle-in-law—he's that reason!"
She lowered her voice and said again, "First, he knows people at the supply and marketing cooperative, and that identity is his key to getting in! It's perfectly legitimate to have him act as a go-between!"
Secondly, as long as the supply and marketing cooperative signs the order, it will be a great contribution to our village! Then who will dare to say anything against them?
Third, I was the one who started this hair flower business, and I have the final say on who gets involved! Even if a few people are envious and gossip, they'll have to think twice about the consequences!
Lin Sanlang listened in a daze, and after a long while, he smacked his lips and sighed sincerely:
"Tsk tsk tsk... Little sister, how did you grow your brain? Even one of your wits is more than your third brother has in total!"
Lin Baozhu tossed her head back, chin held high, her smug expression practically reaching for the heavens:
"Of course! My mother said that I am the smartest brain in our Lin family. If it weren't for the special circumstances now, I could easily become a county magistrate!"
Lin Sanlang chuckled: "That's right, why am I so stupid? It's because all my brains are on you."
Lin Baozhu yawned and said to her mother, who was still examining the hair accessory, "Alright, everyone's had a long day. Go wash up and go to bed."
I slept without any dreams!
The next morning, Lin's mother assigned tasks to the whole family. Lin Sanlang was responsible for delivering food to Guo Rongrong and the others at the hospital. Hu Zi and Tian Tian took Da Ni and Er Ni to the back mountain to gather pig feed. Lin Baozhu went to work, while she stayed at home making hair accessories... She was so busy that even lunch was made by Da Ni.
Lin Baozhu worked at the machine factory until the afternoon when she finished work, and then she couldn't wait to get in her car and head home...
But the factory manager called him to his office instead...
"Baozhu, go back and take a look at this."
He then handed her a sealed leather bag...
Lin Baozhu took the thick brown paper bag with a puzzled look: "Factory manager, what is this...?"
The factory manager rubbed his hands together and chuckled, "Yesterday, Consultant Shao from the city came to inspect the machine tools you assembled, and he was full of praise for them! That's why he sent someone over this afternoon in a hurry, and he specifically instructed that they must be handed over to you personally!"
These words intensified Lin Baozhu's curiosity. She untied the tangled cotton thread and pulled out a stack of papers covered in writing from the paper bag. After only a few glances, her brows furrowed slightly—the papers were densely covered with various formulas and complex calculations.
She quickly flipped through a few pages, her fingertip tracing key data points. She looked up at the factory manager, her tone clearly puzzled:
"Factory manager, this... is it a plan to optimize car engines and increase speed? But here..." She paused, pointing to a complex derivation, "The core formula here is clearly wrong! According to the law of conservation of energy and heat engine efficiency..."
Before she finished speaking, she had already taken out a fountain pen from her canvas handbag, and the pen tip began to scribble on the paper, precisely circling the mistakes and quickly writing down the corrective ideas and formula derivations next to them.
The factory manager was completely bewildered; the technical terms like "thermal efficiency" and "torque conversion" seemed like gibberish. But looking at Lin Baozhu's confident and fluent analytical style, he was absolutely certain—this girl truly understood! And she understood it very deeply!
His heart warmed, and he cautiously took half a step forward, rubbing his hands together, and lowering his voice even further:
"Comrade Baozhu... well... in your opinion, do you have any... insightful suggestions regarding this matter of accelerating cars?"
Lin Baozhu didn't even look up, her pen still moving rapidly across the paper, her voice calm: "The basic formulas are all wrong, what good suggestions could you possibly have?"
She kept working, circling another error: "I've marked all the mistakes, and I've also written the correct derivation process next to them. As long as you strictly follow my approach and verify each step, the result won't be wrong."
As Lin Baozhu spoke, she deftly stuffed the paper back into the brown paper bag and handed it to the factory manager: "Factory manager, I need to ask for leave. I won't be coming to the factory for a while."
"What?!" The factory manager's hand, which had just reached out to take the paper bag, froze in mid-air. His expression changed instantly, and his voice rose several decibels: "Comrade Baozhu! You...you've encountered some difficulties? Why did you suddenly stop coming?"
Heaven knows how much Lin Baozhu contributed to the factory. No matter which machine broke down and the technicians couldn't fix it, they could always find her! She could always quickly, accurately, and decisively find the problem and fix it perfectly in no time with her team. She could even improve the precision of the machine.
With her around, the factory's production efficiency skyrocketed, and the precision of the parts they produced improved by more than one level! Even the shipyard's top leaders specifically praised their factory for being different from before, and even specifically requested them to complete a batch of large orders!
He had already accepted the order and was about to get started, but now she says she's not coming?
Seeing the factory manager's face turn deathly pale and his anxiety almost overflowing, Lin Baozhu quickly waved her hand and explained:
"Don't worry! Nothing's really wrong! I've just come up with a way to make money for the village. I'll have to keep an eye on things at first, but I'll come back once it's on track! Of course, if the factory encounters any difficult problems while I'm away, you can send someone to Da Ge Ba Village to find me anytime. I promise I'll be there whenever you call!"
You can't just take that salary for nothing and not do any work, can you?
Hearing her say that, the factory director, despite his reluctance and worries, could only swallow his words of persuasion and let out a heavy sigh.
After leaving the machine factory, Lin Baozhu rode her bicycle straight to Dageba Village.
Even from a distance, she sensed something was wrong—a huge crowd had gathered at her doorstep! The sounds of chattering, children's shrill cries, her mother's angry shouts, and her third brother's signature thunderous roar... all mingled together in a chaotic cacophony!
Her heart sank. She accelerated, the car speeding towards the crowd. Pushing her way through the throng, the sight before her made her frown.
In the middle of the courtyard, a woman with disheveled hair and fresh scratches all over her face sat down on the ground, slapping her thighs and howling loudly.
Beside her, a chubby little boy was staring intently at Lin's mother and Lin Sanlang with a resentful gaze that was out of character for his age. To be precise, he was staring at Li Dani and Li Erni.
"I don't care!"
The woman slammed her hand on the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust, her voice shrill and piercing: "My parents and my grandmother have all been put in jail by you! Now my brother has no one to care for him, so it's only right that my second uncle and aunt's family support him!"
