Chapter 53 Chapter 53 Retribution in This Life
Jiang Haibo almost spat out a mouthful of blood when he saw the big-character poster. It read:
"Jiang Haibo abandoned his wife and children, pursuing his own life of luxury while leaving his first wife and daughter struggling to survive. They've finally managed to start a small business, but Jiang Haibo threatens them and stops them. Jiang Shaojie also obstructs them. They're a nefarious bunch, working together like a scoundrel, leaving the hardworking proletariat with nowhere to go. I've had no choice but to expose the despicable actions of these two men. I implore everyone to uphold justice!"
Jiang Xi specially prepared multiple versions for Jiang Haibo. Each version has different focuses, but without exception, they all have the names of Jiang Haibo and Jiang Shaojie, providing multiple stimulations in one go.
After reading the big-character poster, Jiang Haibo felt so angry that his blood boiled and he tore up the poster in front of him.
Wu Bin kindly reminded him, "Old Jiang, there's more than just this one. There are many more in other places, and the content is different. Some are more explicit. They've spread all over the family compound."
Jiang Haibo...
Jiang Haibo didn't care about anything else and walked around the family compound to tear down all the big-character posters. The content of almost every big-character poster was different. Jiang Xi used more than a dozen ways to curse Jiang Haibo and Liang Shaojie, and the curses were never repeated.
But the main idea is the same: Jiang Haibo is a beast in human form, and Jiang Shaojie is hypocritical and vicious.
Jiang Haibo's eyes were about to burst out, and he was gasping for breath while tearing down the big-character poster. People around him kept pointing at him, and Jiang Haibo could only pretend not to see it. He had never lost anyone like this in his entire life. The only time was when Jiang Xi came to cause trouble with a loudspeaker.
The two most unpleasant experiences in his life were both because of Jiang Xi. Jiang Haibo's face was gloomy and terrifying, and he walked home in silence with the big-character poster.
Seeing his expression, the people around him didn't dare to approach and talk to him. Even Wu Bin kept away from him. Jiang Haibo must be furious. What if his blood vessels burst? How should I commemorate him in the factory newspaper?
Jiang Haibo returned home angrily, threw the torn big-character poster in the living room, sat on the sofa with a face as red as the bottom of a pot, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Chen Xuemei hadn't left the house yet and didn't know what had happened. "Lao Jiang, what happened?"
Without even looking up, Jiang Haibo pointed at the things on the ground and said, "Look, this is all Jiang Xi's doing."
Chen Xuemei picked up the poster and took a look at it. She almost fainted. "What is she doing? Why did that little bitch write this? What does she want to do?"
Chen Xuemei picked up another big-character poster. The content on it also made her dizzy. She gritted her teeth and cried out loudly: "What kind of bad luck have I had? How could I have provoked such an evil star? She is going to destroy our family!"
Jiang Qiaohe came down from upstairs and saw the mess on the ground, Chen Xuemei crying bitterly and Jiang Haibo silent. She didn't understand what was going on and picked up the big-character poster on the ground.
After seeing the above content, Jiang Qiaohe's face was full of disbelief: "Who did this, and why did she involve my brother? Is she trying to ruin my brother's reputation?"
Chen Xuemei was filled with rage, with nowhere to vent. She shouted at Jiang Qiaohe, "Can't you see? How could you be so stupid? It must have been that little bitch Jiang Xi who did this. She wants to ruin our family. It wasn't enough that she ruined your father's reputation last time, now she wants to ruin Shaojie's reputation too. Woohoo, why is my life so miserable? How dare that bitch!"
Jiang Qiaohe was scolded, her eyes turned red, and she pursed her lips and dared not say a word. It had been like this since she was a child. She was obviously her mother's daughter, but Chen Xuemei loved Jiang Shaojie the most. Even her father loved Jiang Shaojie.
When the Jiang family was in a gloomy mood, the door creaked open and Jiang Shaojie walked in. He had heard about the big-character poster a long time ago. His face was calm. Seeing the papers scattered on the ground, he picked up a piece and looked at it carefully.
After reading the above content, he stroked the three words "Jiang Shaojie" with his fingers. Sister Jiang Xi's handwriting is not bad, especially my name.
Jiang Shaojie lowered his head, hiding the arc of his mouth. Sister Jiang Xi really didn't disappoint him. Jiang Shaojie had a feeling that he had met his match. He played a card and Jiang Xi threw one back to him. So what card would she play next time? Thinking about it, he felt a little excited.
Seeing Jiang Shaojie lowering his head, Chen Xuemei thought he was sad and upset, so she didn't care about being angry and hurriedly comforted him, "Shaojie, don't bother with that little bitch. She's uneducated and different from you. Don't take what she says seriously."
Jiang Shaojie still lowered his head and said in a muffled voice: "Mom, I know."
The more well-behaved and sensible Jiang Shaojie was, the more Chen Xuemei hated Jiang Xi. How could Jiang Xi dare to say that about such an outstanding son of hers and ruin Shaojie's reputation!
Jiang Haibo sighed and said to Jiang Shaojie, "If Jiang Xi wants to do business in the future, let her do it. She's a lunatic. Don't pay attention to her, or she'll go crazy and bite people. Next time you go to the steel factory, walk faster and don't talk to her."
Chen Xuemei screamed: "What, Jiang Xi is doing business? Or doing business in front of the steel factory? What kind of business is she doing?"
Jiang Shaojie explained: "Mom, Jiang Xi has been setting up a stall in front of the steel plant recently. I often run into her. Last time I wanted to talk to her, she scolded me and said..."
Chen Xuemei asked sharply, "What did she say?"
Jiang Shaojie said: "She said our whole family was disgusting and said we would pay the price."
Chen Xuemei felt an indescribable rage rising in her heart. She raised her voice and said, "How dare that little bitch threaten you and scold you? Where does she get the courage?"
Jiang Shaojie still looked gentle and amiable: "Mom, everything is over. Just like Dad said, we will keep out of each other's way from now on. I won't talk to her. I will try my best to avoid her and not provoke her."
Chen Xuemei suppressed her anger and advised, "Don't take it to heart. People like that aren't worth it. Work hard, and your father will pave the way for you. You have a bright future. Distinguish yourself from those self-employed vendors. They can't compare to you. As for those people, they'll fall sooner or later!"
Jiang Shaojie nodded obediently, not missing the darkness in Chen Xuemei's eyes. He lowered his head and a smile crossed his lips.
Jiang Xi felt refreshed after posting the big-character poster, and was also full of energy when he and Wu Youli set up the stall the next day.
Yesterday, Jiang Xi helped Wu Youli introduce things to customers when he was unable to handle the situation. Today, Jiang Xi and Wu Youli re-divided the work.
Jiang Xi also has to open another stall and take care of many other things, so it is impossible for him to help Wu Youli all the time. Wu Youli needs to grow quickly. According to Jiang Xi's own experience, a person grows fastest when he has no help.
Jiang Xi wanted Wu Youli to understand that she could provide help, but the help was limited. Wu Youli needed to push himself so that he could become independent faster.
So today Jiang Xi simply let go and let Wu Youli greet the guests alone.
Niu'er also came today. Although she is shy, she is very quick and has a very good memory. She can remember clearly what everyone wants, and she will not make mistakes even if the order is complicated.
While helping to pack, Niu'er reminded Wu Youli, "Dad, this portion is for this auntie, and this portion of braised edamame is for this uncle. And that auntie who waited the longest is the first to arrive, and she wants a portion of braised chicken."
Wu Youli nodded and handed the items to the other party one by one. Seeing such a well-behaved little girl, the buyer couldn't help but smile and said, "Is this your daughter? She's so smart."
Wu Youli said cheerfully: "Yes, she helps me set up the stall. I have a bad memory and sometimes I get things wrong. She has a very good memory. Thanks to my daughter's reminders, I didn't make any mistakes."
The aunt who was buying the braised chicken said with a smile, "The stall owner is so lucky to have such a smart daughter."
Wu Youli laughed even more happily, wishing he could charge the money, but then he suppressed the thought. He was setting up a stall to make money, so how could he not charge money?
Wu Youli secretly reminded himself not to be arrogant. No matter what others said, making money was the most important thing.
Jiang Xi stayed at the stall for a while to make sure Wu Youli and Niu'er could handle it, then went to find Zhou Jiangang.
Jiang Xi estimated that based on the current progress, it would take another week or two to save enough money to sell the shop. She was worried that the shop would be bought by someone else, so she wanted to ask Zhou Jiangang about the current situation of the shop.
In addition, Jiang Xi also wanted to use Zhou Jiangang's connections to expand the market for pickled vegetables. Yesterday, she developed the steel plant's security guard into a non-staff salesperson, and this incident also gave her the opportunity to expand her thinking.
There is more than one way to do business. You can set up a stall, open a shop, and of course ask others to help sell goods. No matter which form you use, as long as you can sell things, it is a good way.
As more of Wu Ji Zao Lu is sold, more and more people will know about it, which will also help Wu Ji Zao Lu accumulate popularity and reputation.
Jiang Xi has been observing those restaurants and stalls for some time. She found that the more crowded the place is, the more people tend to choose to buy things there, and they are willing to do so even if they have to queue.
On the contrary, the smaller the restaurant, the fewer people there are, and the fewer people will go there.
Jiang Xi didn't know what the theory behind this was, but she could summarize the experience that the more people buy something, the more others will rush to buy it, and the less popular something is, the less people will buy it even if it is cheap. This is the same principle as the big pot meal, only the ones you can get in your mouth are delicious, and if you make the same thing at home, you may not be able to finish it.
If Wu Ji Zao Lu wants to grow bigger, more and more people must know about it and spread it by word of mouth. If everyone praises it and buys it, then more and more people will buy it. This is the effect that they want to achieve.
One small stall is not enough, even if you open ten more stalls, it is not enough. Small stalls and small shops can only attract a limited number of people. If you want more people to know about it, you have to expand different sales channels.
And Zhou Jiangang is an excellent candidate...
