Jiang Shao Chen gritted his teeth, but still smiled, "Your sister didn't spoil you for nothing."
The next morning, Shen Mingzhi and Jiang Shaozhen delivered the medicine to Ren'an Pharmacy.
She wouldn't get a share of the profits from this batch of medicine. After all, Ren'an Pharmacy needed to make money and had to give a portion to the Jiang family. She was simply helping the Jiang family.
When Jiang Shaozhen drove her home, he said, "My sister treated you like that, and you're still willing to clean up her mess—"
"That's really not true." She couldn't refute what Jiang Guofu had said yesterday.
The Jiang family treated her well, but she wasn't really that kind-hearted; she didn't repay evil with kindness. The batch she made earlier had good results, and now many people have noticed and are coming to Ren'an Pharmacy to inquire.
"Then how did you end up taking over this batch of medicine?" Jiang Shaozhen asked instinctively.
Shen Mingzhi leaned back in the car seat and said frankly, "Your sister treated me like that several times and spread rumors about me. I'm really not that generous. Your Jiang family has helped me a lot. I helped your Jiang family make up for their losses, not her. I don't consider myself a member of your Jiang family, nor am I so kind as to be tolerant of my so-called sister-in-law."
Jiang Shaochen couldn't help but feel a sense of loss.
“I’ve already said, I’ll only consider accepting you when your Jiang family tells me who the man who bullied me is.” Shen Mingzhi calmly told him, “This medicine sells well at Ren’an Pharmacy. People only recognize medicine sold at Ren’an Pharmacy. It won’t sell in Chunshan. So many people want it, why not make money? Besides, I’m very satisfied with the house your father helped us apply for. I’m repaying his kindness.”
Jiang Shaozhen thought that she had accepted him, which was why she helped Jiang Yinyin.
Although disappointed, Jiang Shaozhen still asked Shen Mingzhi to bring him lunch.
"Doesn't your construction site provide meals?" It's so hot, she really doesn't want to go out.
Jiang Shaozhen nodded, "Because of me, this construction team can no longer enjoy many benefits; everyone has to have their meals delivered from home."
Shen Mingzhi frowned unconsciously, "Is the Song family behind this?"
“Yes, my dad said that by affiliating with a design institute, we can save on a lot of benefits and earn money based on our own abilities,” Jiang Shaozhen replied.
Before returning yesterday, the father and son talked for a long time.
"Earn money through your own abilities?" Shen Mingzhi really didn't understand this. She only remembered the major events, and she didn't know about the details like these.
Jiang Shaozhen nodded. "My dad inquired about it for me yesterday and said that those villages have already found new breakthroughs in economic reform, running various factories and purchasing stations themselves. On the contrary, our city seems to be a step behind. He told me and the new engineer to be bold and create economic value for our area, so that even if Song Huiquan causes me trouble, he will restrain himself because of the economic benefits I create."
"Okay then, I'll bring you lunch." Shen Mingzhi really didn't know anything about engineering and didn't understand what he meant.
However, Jiang Shaochen is currently in the initial stage, which is the most difficult time.
At noon, Shen Mingzhi put the food that Wang Sao had prepared in the bicycle basket, and then rode the bicycle to deliver the food to Jiang Shaochen.
Upon arriving at his construction site, Shen Mingzhi was choked by the dust that came his way and coughed involuntarily a few times.
Pushing her bicycle inside, she saw tractors coming and going, hauling bricks into the construction site.
When she arrived at the tin shack where she was resting at the construction site, she walked over and just as she reached the door, she heard Song Wanyin's voice coming from inside, "What are you after? You don't want any benefits, just to spite my dad? I always thought you were a very composed person, but I never expected you to be so naive!"
Shen Mingzhi walked in carrying an aluminum lunchbox and said, "Lunch is ready."
Upon hearing her voice, Song Wanyin turned around abruptly, staring at her with a hint of hostility in her eyes. "It's one thing for you to be a village woman with no knowledge or education, but you didn't even try to stop him from doing this?"
“His parents both agree, so who are you to interfere with his decision?” Shen Mingzhi said with a stern face.
Jiang Shaochen took the lunchbox, opened it, smelled it, and said to her, "The food my wife brought smells so good. I've been starving for ages."
Hearing him call her that so readily, and seeing that Shen Mingzhi didn't refute him, Song Wanyin's eyes immediately reddened. She turned to look at Jiang Shaozhen, her voice filled with grievance, and asked, "You did this on purpose, deliberately trying to embarrass me. We've been friends for so many years, known each other since childhood, and you're so heartless to me, making me lose face?!"
"I didn't know you were coming. We construction workers have nothing. This was your father's request. How can you blame me for doing it on purpose?" Jiang Shaozhen really didn't understand Song Wanyin and Jiang Yinyin. The two of them were always good at turning the tables.
They did all sorts of bad things, but instead of getting anything in return, they blamed others.
With red eyes, Song Wanyin pushed Shen Mingzhi away.
Shen Mingzhi was pushed and crashed into the tin-roofed house.
Jiang Shao Chen slammed his chopsticks on the dusty table. "Song Wan Yin, why did you push my wife?!"
"Who told her to block the way?!" Song Wanyin said with red eyes, and was about to leave, but she stopped at the door and looked at Jiang Shaochen, saying, "You will definitely regret this in the future! At least other people can get a blue hat, but you are wearing a yellow hat, what future do you have?! And as long as my father is alive, there will never be a day when you can get ahead!"
As he spoke, he looked at Shen Mingzhi with a mocking expression, "You think you're safe just because you're cooperating with Ang Lee? My dad can deal with you in no time. Just you wait!"
Jiang Shaozhen clenched his fist at his side, wanting to say something for Shen Mingzhi, but Song Wanyin had already run away.
"Wife, I'm the one who dragged you into this," Jiang Shaozhen said immediately as he walked to Shen Mingzhi's side, his face full of worry.
Shen Mingzhi looked at the chopsticks on the table. "Wash the chopsticks and eat first. Since she told us to wait, then we'll wait."
“Song Huiquan is the district head. If he doesn’t approve Li An’s request, he’ll get less medicine, and gradually, the pharmacy will go out of business,” Jiang Shaozhen said to Shen Mingzhi with a frown. He wasn’t as optimistic as she was.
A district head oversees countless county heads and village secretaries. If even one person becomes an obstacle for them, they will face numerous troubles.
"Don't worry, her father won't be able to run rampant for long. Look at all those policies, but some villages have still found ways to make money. And now the country is also supporting the vigorous development of the economy, that's the trend. What good will his meddling do?" Shen Mingzhi said, urging him to eat quickly.
This little house is dusty and very hot.
While Jiang Shaochen was eating, Shen Mingzhi unconsciously glanced at the hat on his head.
It turns out that the yellow hat was the lowest rank among the workers... but he was covered in sweat and dirt, yet he didn't complain at all.
