Zhao Zhengyuan said angrily, "If you ask me, just making them close the door isn't enough. We also need to give them a good beating, otherwise they won't learn their lesson and might not even realize they did something wrong!"
“The shop is sealed off and can’t open, and it’s the busiest time of the year before the New Year. It might be even more painful for them than being beaten.” Gu Wei smiled meaningfully. “Besides, when people are down on their luck, even drinking cold water can cause problems. Who knows what will happen in the future?”
The people inside the room, sensing something from the words, smiled knowingly.
"That's true. They say good fortune never comes in pairs, but misfortunes never come singly."
"It's freezing cold here. You might trip and fall down and break a bone."
"..."
Gu Wei then asked Zhao Dajiang about the greenhouse situation.
I learned that the leafy greens were growing well, and the two rows of tomatoes had already produced small green fruits.
The few households in the forest farm, however, did not receive such attentive service from Zhao Dajiang, and they produced and sold their own leafy vegetables.
Before the Lunar New Year, Gu Wei planned to have Zhao Dajiang harvest a crop, so he arranged for him to pick and transport the vegetables.
Time...
Zheng Zhigang and his wife never dreamed that their attempt to steal a chicken would backfire and they would lose more than they gained.
He wanted to teach the owner across the street a lesson, but ended up making it impossible for his own shop to open.
So much inventory sitting there represents a lot of money.
If we don't sell some of our goods while things are good before the New Year, who will buy them after the season is over?
Furthermore, they borrowed some money from relatives and friends to open the shop.
The couple was anxious and frustrated, completely overwhelmed.
Not only do they need to find ways to open for business, but they also need to figure out how to do so.
They also had to deal with people who came to collect debts after finding out about the news.
Liu Shanshan had no interest in dressing up; she looked haggard and disheveled. She couldn't help but complain to her husband, "I told you before that your family had powerful connections, but you wouldn't believe me! What are we going to do now? Not only is all the money we worked so hard to earn tied up in inventory, but my second and third sisters are also in a hurry to get money for the New Year!"
Adrian Cheng's lips were covered in large blisters, and his temper became increasingly volatile; he was easily ignited.
"You old hag, you're really good at turning the tables! What do you mean I don't believe in evil spirits? When I said I was going to report it, didn't you clapp and say yes? You even made a special trip to your aunt's house to find your cousin. Now that things have gone wrong, you're blaming me for everything!"
It would have been better if this hadn't been brought up, because it only fueled Liu Shanshan's anger. She jumped up, pointed at Zheng Zhigang's nose, and started yelling, "It's all your fault! If you hadn't said you'd report this, would I have gone to my cousin? Now my aunt has a huge grudge against me! She's terrified of getting revenge too! Before, even though our business wasn't as good as theirs, we still sold a lot every day! Now look at us, talking about dealing with them, and we're the ones who got punished! You're a grown man, but you're such a coward, all you know how to do is talk to your wife and kids!"
Zheng Zhigang, unable to bear it any longer, slapped him hard across the face, making a loud "smack" sound.
Liu Shanshan covered her face, which was throbbing from the blow, and was initially in disbelief before rushing forward like a madwoman.
The two quickly started fighting...
Hou Yongxian and his group spent seven or eight days in the provincial capital before returning home.
When they arrived at Gu Wei's place with some local specialties they had bought,
They were all very angry when they learned what had happened.
