Liu Meiju grabbed the purse and emptied out all the money inside.
"Yes, the amount of money is correct. You wait here!" After saying that, he picked up his purse and went upstairs. Only after hiding the money did he feel relieved.
When Yu Deshui saw her come down empty-handed, he jumped up in anger, "Liu Meiju, what do you mean by this?"
"Don't be nervous, don't be angry. Although I, Liu Meiju, am not a man, I always keep my word. Sit down, I'll get it for you."
Liu Meiju sat down in her previous spot and took out her notebook from under the sofa next to her.
"Here you go. Don't worry, I don't understand these things, and I absolutely won't let anyone else know." Yu Deshui took the notebook and saw that it was the one he had lost.
Without even saying goodbye to Liu Meiju, they turned and left.
Watching the man turn away heartlessly, Liu Meiju laughed, laughed heartily, but later she burst into tears.
How could my life have been such a failure? I have nothing left? I really have nothing left.
After she had cried enough, she got up and left the yard, locking the gate from the inside. Her son could open the gate himself when he came back. Being alone at home was really a bit creepy.
When Zhang Hongmei and the other three returned home, Zhao Tiancheng was already there, accompanying Wang Xinyi for a walk in the yard.
"Hongmei, is everything going smoothly?" Wang Xinyi had been worried about this question.
"Aunt Wang, don't worry, it's alright. The factory is fine, but they haven't moved out of the house yet. We went to the police station today, and we'll go back to collect the house in three days."
"Ugh! What a hassle."
"Hehe, it's alright. How long have you been out?"
“I just got home, so your Aunt Wang just came out.”
"Then I'll go back to my room. I still haven't looked at the textile factory's ledgers."
Zhang Hongmei returned to her study, but instead of looking at the account books, she went into her spatial dimension to take a shower and change her clothes before coming out.
Looking at the ledger, I admired Zhou Changrong. Although Zhao Tiancheng had three textile factories, in terms of total inventory and sales, they couldn't compare to Zhou Changrong's single factory.
It seems I really did get the better deal this time.
No problems were found; I need to return it to the accountant tomorrow.
He pulled out Zhang Shouyi's letter, telling him about Zhao Haozheng's schedule for the day; this was Zhao Haozheng trying to curry favor with him.
So I didn't hold back on praising him, showering him with compliments. I also said a lot of sweet nothings. Mainly because this guy was angry yesterday, complaining that I hadn't sent him enough letters.
Zhang Hongmei also felt very powerless. She contacted him every day, but was it necessary to put on such a show in public?
I'm speechless, but seeing how good he is to his friends, I'll just have to comfort him.
A moment later, there was a knock on the door. Dinner was ready.
Tonight's dinner consisted of cold noodles, minced meat with soybean paste, and beef gravy.
This is perfect for this season, but Wang Xinyi can't eat it all by herself. However, seeing her husband enjoying it so much makes it all worthwhile.
After dinner, everyone sat in the living room chatting. Cheng Guangxu recounted the events of receiving the house that day, while Zhao Tiancheng shook his head.
"People always regret things at the last minute. Mrs. Zhou has really lost both her husband and her money this time."
Zhang Hongmei didn't say anything about the woman. But secretly, she felt a little sorry for her.
However, it's not that I agree with her actions, but rather that I sympathize with her husband's abandonment.
"By the way, I'm going to the farm tomorrow. It's been a long time since I've been there. Hongmei, if you don't have time tomorrow, I can go check on it for you?"
"No need, Uncle Zhao, I can go and see for myself. Um! When will Zhao Haozheng be back?"
The group laughed when they heard Zhang Hongmei's words.
“Hongmei, you miss Haozheng so much. I think he will be happy if I tell him when we get back.”
Zhang Hongmei ignored Cheng Guangxu's gloating, but she felt uneasy. "Cheng Guangxu, why don't you stay home tomorrow and work on the color issue? Also, computers are so big, do you think we could make one the size of a handbag? That way, we can carry it with us. This glorious task is entrusted to you."
"Hongmei, this is retaliation!"
"Really? I don't admit it. I just arranged a job for you!"
Cheng Guangxu shamelessly dragged Cai Peilin and Zeng Zhongkang into the mess.
"What about the other two?"
"Zeng Zhongkang is going to drive me. Cai Peilin is going to work on the farm."
"Can I go and do some work too?"
"No, we have enough manpower."
This sparked another burst of laughter.
Zhang Hongmei thought to herself, "Little brat, if I can't even handle someone as lacking in emotional intelligence as you, what face do I have left?"
"Hongmei, a chemical plant has developed a batch of pesticides that they say can prevent weeds. I brought two bottles with me. I'll try them at the farm tomorrow. If they work, then you can use them."
Zhang Hongmei nodded. Herbicides were invented. There really are clever people out there.
"Uncle Zhao, I think it can be used. Although I don't know much about chemicals, I think this should work. But have you asked clearly? Is it a herbicide for long-leaved and round-leaved plants?"
"You didn't even ask about that? Does it matter?"
"I think there's a connection. I don't know much about biology, but the two types of leaves must be different varieties, right? I don't know how to explain it."
"Then I'll just try both: one acre for corn and one acre for potatoes. That way, even if there are losses, they won't be too great?"
"Uncle Zhao, which chemical plant produced this?"
"It was produced by the fifth-ranked Zern family. Their main pillar industry is chemicals."
"Oh, I understand. I'll go to the trading company tomorrow after I get back from the farm. Let me know as soon as you have the results. I want the trading company to act as an agent for this herbicide for sale abroad."
"Heh, you can think of anything to make money. Are you planning to short sell?"
"Well, there's no need to invest in such a dangerous industry. Direct sales will suffice. I'll have the trading company talk to the chemical plant."
"Okay, I think we'll see results in three days. I'll go check it out again that day."
"Yes, thank you for your trouble, Uncle Zhao. You should hire a driver, otherwise you'll be too tired."
"I really hadn't thought about that."
“Brother Zhao, Hongmei is right. You should hire a driver. I’m worried about you traveling back and forth like this. With a driver, you’ll have time to rest.”
"Okay, I'll look for it. This driver is really hard to find, it depends on your luck."
That's right, the driver knows you better than anyone else, even more than your family knows your itinerary.
Choosing the right person is really difficult. But let's take our time. It's good to find someone sooner rather than later; once the baby is born, Xinyi will need a car more often. Having a driver is definitely more convenient.
