After being glared at by his daughter, Zhao Damin immediately stopped the conversation. "What a jinx! He played his cards terribly. Whatever kind of life he has is his own fault."
Zhang Changsheng, far away on the farm, coughed several times. Looking at the endless work in front of him, he couldn't help but kick Wang Meihua.
"Hurry up and get to work. You're trying to push all the work onto me, aren't you, you jerk?"
Ever since discovering that Wang Meihua was planning to have an affair, Zhang Changsheng has become increasingly irritable, slapping her or kicking her at the drop of a hat.
In such a place, people like Zhang Changsheng are not uncommon, and even if Wang Meihua wanted to ask for help, others would be unwilling to help her.
Gradually, Wang Meihua accumulated more and more injuries, and she became increasingly haggard, looking completely different from when she first arrived.
At first, Wang Meihua would resist, but when she realized that the more she resisted, the more she would be beaten, she dared not do it anymore.
Those who had been flirting with her before stopped trying to get close to her when they saw this, since Zhang Changsheng seemed a bit reckless and crazy.
As the saying goes, it's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death. Nobody wants to lose their life because of a woman, especially one whose looks are just average.
"No, I don't dare."
Wang Meihua was kicked forward and stumbled, but she only dared to shake her head repeatedly.
"If you're afraid, then you'd better get to work right now."
After saying that, he plopped down on a rock and drank water, muttering curses all the while. "Don't feel wronged. If you hadn't seduced me, how could I have gotten involved with you? If I hadn't gotten involved with you, I would still be the Gu family's son-in-law. Even if that old man and that woman died, I could still get promoted before retirement thanks to the Gu family's lineage."
It would have been better if he hadn't said anything, because the more he talked, the angrier he became. He grabbed a stone from the side and threw it at Wang Meihua's head.
"ah!"
Wang Meihua was knocked to the ground by the sudden stone. As soon as she covered the spot where she had been hit, she felt a warm flow coming out, and it hurt terribly.
Zhang Changsheng couldn't stand seeing her stop, so he got up and wanted to continue hitting her, "Stop pretending, it's just a small stone, get back to work."
As he spoke, he kicked Wang Meihua several more times, making her cry out in pain. But Zhang Changsheng's attitude towards her now was the same as his attitude towards Gu Ma before; he had no heart for her.
Wang Meihua lay on the yellow earth after being beaten, her eyes filled with pain. She couldn't understand why things had turned out this way.
They used to be very, very good friends.
She regretted it!
If she had known she would be treated like this one day, she would have preferred to stay with the man she had been with before. Although he didn't have a formal job, he treated her well, cared for her, served her tea and water, and never complained.
After feeling pain and remorse, Wang Meihua simply bandaged her wound and continued working. If they couldn't even finish this little bit of work, the food they could get would decrease again, and without food, they really couldn't survive.
Gu An'an was unaware of all this, and even if she had, she would have simply laughed it off and said, "Serves him right."
The five-day trade fair flew by. During these days, all the exhibitors seemed to have their meridians opened up, and they did their best to showcase their products to foreign buyers. Although it looked a bit chaotic, the result was good.
Looking at the transaction volume over the past few days, Gan Laifa was as excited as if he were one of the parties involved.
The same goes for the people under their command. Although they weren't the ones selling the products, they were the ones who organized this event from scratch, and they also deserve credit for the good sales the manufacturer received.
"Aside from the established large factories, the factories from Shuangshan City performed the best this time. With Comrade Gu's help, they really made a fortune this time."
Gan Laifa usually has a lot of work to do and only goes to the site occasionally. Although he knows that Gu An'an is very capable, he still asked a couple of questions out of interest.
"oh?"
Seeing that the leader was interested, the young man began to recount the events of the past few days.
"Luckily, we listened to the director. As long as it wasn't too excessive, we didn't interfere. Otherwise, we wouldn't have achieved such good results."
Flattery will get you everywhere, and Gan Laifa had to admit that he felt quite pleased to hear those words.
"Okay, we can't relax even on the last day. Thank you for your hard work."
After everyone left, Gan Laifa continued to bury himself in his work.
He paused writing for a moment, picked up the phone next to him, and dialed a number.
"Master, it's me, Xiao Gan."
Upon hearing his voice, Old Master Xiao immediately guessed the purpose of the call, and the corners of his mouth turned up in a smile. "Xiao Gan, what's wrong? Has something happened to An'an?"
Grandma Xiao, who was standing nearby, perked up immediately when she heard the name "An'an". The last time her husband called, she was out shopping with her best friend and missed the news.
This time, she couldn't afford to miss it again!
Putting down the small shovel she was using to plant vegetables, the old woman walked over to Old Man Xiao and then squeezed him in a little further.
Grandpa Xiao glanced at his wife, looking into her bright, shining eyes, but ultimately said nothing.
"Don't worry, Master, Comrade Gu is doing very well. I just called to report on the results of this work..."
Gan Laifa was very eloquent and understood Old Master Xiao's character well; his words were very much in line with his temperament.
"Master, I'm not exaggerating, but when I see Comrade Gu, I always feel like I'm seeing you. He's decisive and has a lot of his own opinions. A large part of the success of this event is thanks to Comrade Gu. What's that saying again? Birds of a feather flock together."
The old man was amused by these words and burst into laughter, his hearty voice carrying far.
"I dare not take credit for this; it's all thanks to the children's hard work."
Grandma Xiao couldn't bear to look at Grandpa Xiao's current state; this old man was becoming more and more unreserved.
Everyone says that her granddaughter-in-law is capable and beautiful, and the more they talk about her, the more she wants to be with her.
The old lady's eyes darted around a few times before she decisively got up and went back to her room.
When Old Man Xiao hung up the phone and entered the room, he was almost shocked by the mess inside. "Yingzi, what are you doing?"
