Shen Chaobei and Du Juan took turns trying to persuade her with kind words, but it was all useless. It looked like they were determined to take down Shen Mingzhu.

Shen Mingzhu looked at these people and only one thing came to her mind: Poor mountains and bad waters produce unruly people.

She sneered at these people and said, "I want to ask all the elders and fellow villagers, do you think I'm easy to bully because I'm young and a woman?"

After hearing what she said, the noisy crowd gradually quieted down.

Shen Mingzhu continued her sharp words: "If it wasn't me standing here today, but someone you didn't know, would you still be making such a fuss like you are now?"

A group of people looked at each other.

"Mingzhu, you can't say that..."

"Then what should I say?!"

Shen Mingzhu suddenly raised her voice, which startled the man and shocked the others as well.

Shen Mingzhu glanced at everyone with sharp eyes, her voice was soft but powerful, with the power to test people's hearts.

"In order to run this factory, my eldest brother and his wife, we bet everything we had. When the factory was established and we needed manpower, we first thought of the village and wanted to help everyone get rich together."

"I didn't expect that my kindness would not be rewarded with gratitude. Instead, it gave you the opportunity to use your seniority and age to embarrass a young woman like me! I will never dare to go back to the village to recruit people again. How can a young man like me handle the harassment from so many of you elders?"

These words made the people who were so excited just now look ashamed.

"Aunt Guihua, you just asked why illiterate people can't work. It's very simple. I arranged for you to deliver goods, but you can't even write a delivery note, and you can't calculate the accounts clearly. How can you do this job?"

"Uncle Gensheng, you have a back injury. As a junior, I sympathize with you and am willing to help you to the best of my ability. But this is not a nursing home. I run a factory. I'm looking for people who can work hard!"

"I can tell you responsibly that I borrowed 5,000 yuan from the bank to run this factory. Today, I am keeping you all here out of kindness. If I can't pay back the loan in two years, will you also raise money to help me pay it back?"

As soon as the words fell, everyone gasped.

For the people in Shenjiagou, carrying a foreign debt of three to five hundred yuan is enough to make them breathless for half their lives.

A debt of 5,000 yuan, this girl must have been really bold? I don't know if they were scared by the 5,000 yuan loan, or worried that Shen Mingzhu would ask them to borrow money in the future. Those who didn't meet the requirements turned around and walked out, and soon they all left.

Shen Mingzhu looked at the group of people who met the requirements.

There were seven in total, three boys and four girls.

At this moment, the excitement on several people's faces turned into hesitation and uneasiness, probably because they were shocked by the loan of 5,000 yuan.

Shen Mingzhu said, "Don't worry, you guys are just working for me in the factory. I will pay you wages on a monthly basis. If the factory goes bankrupt due to poor management, you will definitely not be implicated."

After hearing what Shen Mingzhu said, the seven people slowly felt relieved.

But they were too early to feel relieved because Shen Mingzhu only needed four people.

"Those who know how to make tofu, please step forward."

After successfully selecting two female workers, Shen Mingzhu picked two young and middle-aged men from the remaining five.

Shen Mingzhu gave the three unsuccessful candidates, as well as those who were eliminated outside, car fare and let them go home.

After recruiting all the staff, Shen Mingzhu began to carry out training. The training content mainly covered the workshop's personnel rules and regulations, work content and production processes, as well as fire protection knowledge.

Just as Shen Mingzhu was busy preparing for the opening of the business, the news that she had borrowed 5,000 yuan to set up a factory spread like wildfire throughout Shenjiagou.

When Qin Jinlian first learned that Shen Mingzhu had set up a factory with her eldest son and his wife, she was extremely happy and imagined that their Shen family was going to become prosperous and that they would have a good life in the future.

As a result, Qin Jinlian heard that Shen Mingzhu had the audacity to borrow a huge sum of 5,000 yuan from the bank. She was shocked, angry and scared. She couldn't sleep that night and hurried to the city at dawn the next day.

Shen Mingzhu was training the workers and Du Juan and her husband when Qin Jinlian and Shen Baolan rushed in.

Qin Jinlian first went to the family compound, but didn't find Shen Mingzhu, so she ran to ask Shen Baolan.

Seeing that Qin Jinlian was looking for Shen Mingzhu to settle the score, Shen Baolan hurriedly brought Qin Jinlian over.

As soon as Qin Jinlian arrived, she yelled at Shen Mingzhu: "You damn girl, are you going to die? You are living a peaceful life, but you are taking on such a huge debt without saying a word. Who are you trying to piss off to death?"

Shen Baolan looked around the factory while gloating and making sarcastic remarks, "Mingzhu, you are really capable. You borrowed 5,000 yuan, rented such a shabby place, and hired a few people at random. Do you think you can make a lot of money?"

"Do you think business is so easy? My Shuhuan is a city boy who graduated from a technical secondary school. Isn't he much better than you? He didn't make his business and ended up in jail. You are a country girl with no education and no skills, and you still dream of becoming a big boss? You are just dreaming!"

Because of her conflict with Shen Baolan's mother, Qin Jinlian has disliked Shen Baolan since childhood, but this time, she stood on the same side with Shen Baolan.

"Listen, Ren Baolan understands this principle, why don't you understand it? Why are you courting death? Not only did you court death yourself, but you also brought disaster to Chaobei. Why did I give birth to a useless thing like you!"

Shen Chaobei couldn't listen any more, "Mom, I wanted to do this with my little sister. If you want to scold me, scold me, not my little sister."

Qin Jinlian was already furious, and Shen Chaobei's defense of Shen Mingzhu was undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire. She was so angry that she raised her hand and hit Shen Chaobei.

"You idiot! You didn't stop her from making trouble, and you even joined her in the fun. You just threw away such a good business at the snack stand. How could you be so stupid? Can't you tell the difference between good and bad?"

After scolding Shen Chaobei, he scolded Du Juan.

Both of them were honest people and let Qin Jinlian scold them without saying a word.

But Shen Mingzhu couldn't stand it. She stepped forward and pulled Qin Jinlian away. "Have you had enough of making trouble? I run the factory. It has nothing to do with the Shen family. Even if there are problems in the future, it won't be blamed on you."

Qin Jinlian stared at her with red eyes, "You said it lightly, but even if you break bones, you still have tendons. You are the daughter of the Shen family. If you can't pay back the money in the future, can you not make the whole family bear the debt for you? Five thousand, how can you pay it back?"

Shen Mingzhu looked at the other party and said, "Then let's break off the relationship."

Qin Jinlian was stunned. "What did you say?"

"I will sever my relationship with you and the Shen family. I am no longer the daughter of the Shen family. If anything happens in the future, it will not implicate you."
