"Oh, third sister-in-law, we are all family, why do you have to be like this? Even if you and Xiaolan don't get along, you don't have to be so heartless. After all, you are the elder, why bother with the younger one?" Xie Di tried to save the situation.
Xu Qinghe simply chuckled and responded frankly, "Sister-in-law, you misunderstood me. She was the first to stop treating me as a family member. Shouldn't a true family member be happy for my success instead of making sarcastic remarks? If the younger generation doesn't know how to respect the elders, do I, as an elder, have to curry her favor?"
Xu Qinghe directly broke the superficial peace and pointed out Su Qifen's problems without any hesitation.
Her directness and courage made Xie Di lose all her face.
Yin Lao Er and Zhou Yuan were quite surprised by this. They had never expected that such an unexpected benefit would fall on their second branch. You know, in the past they were often the neglected ones.
Afterwards, Xu Qinghe elaborated on the blueprint for the bean sprout and pea powder production plan in detail, emphasizing that responsible and technically skilled individuals must be assigned to lead this project to ensure that every bean sprout is plump and tender, and every portion of pea powder is pure and flawless, meeting the most stringent hygiene standards.
To motivate everyone, she proposed to settle wages on a daily basis, and those with outstanding performance would receive full rewards.
After her brief and powerful statement, Xu Qinghe humbly asked the village chief to express his opinion, because she knew that in this closely-knit village, any important decision would require the village chief's approval and support.
The village chief was deeply pleased with Xu Qinghe's maturity and thoughtfulness. "The production of bean sprouts and pea flour not only improves everyone's quality of life, but also symbolizes our village's collective efforts. As long as we work hard, we can share the results. Anyone who deliberately sabotages will be severely punished."
The village chief then divided the responsibilities into specific tasks: "Growing bean sprouts is a job that is suitable for both energetic young girls and experienced women. Young people can provide abundant labor, while the women can use their rich experience to guide the healthy growth of the bean sprouts."
"As for grinding the pea flour, it will be handled by a middle-aged man with plenty of physical strength, while the cooking process will be handled by a middle-aged woman with skilled craftsmanship to ensure the pure craftsmanship and delicate taste. I will entrust all these matters to Qinghe, and everyone must cooperate with her arrangements."
He added, offering both encouragement and warning: "Villagers fortunate enough to be selected, please give it your all. Those who are unable to participate at the moment should not be discouraged, as there will be endless opportunities in the future. If any slacking behavior is discovered, please report it, and the reporter will take their place."
"Remember, this is our common cause, and it concerns the well-being of everyone. If we achieve remarkable results, the tables will be filled with the aroma of meat during the Spring Festival. If anyone tries to do bad things and affects the overall situation, I will be merciless and expel them from our prosperous Fengtai Village!"
The village chief's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's heart.
Among the crowd, those smart people had already understood the situation tacitly and regarded this opportunity as a stepping stone for promotion. They clenched their fists and were ready to make a move.
For Xu Qinghe, this is not only a challenge, but also an excellent stage to prove himself.
Following the village chief's order, she quickly and accurately selected team members, including candidates approved by the village chief and capable people who made Xu Qinghe feel gratified.
The village chief's daughter-in-law, the highly respected Uncle Jiang and his wife, as well as several hardworking elders such as Zhang Xiaocui were all included in the team.
In addition, she carefully selected several villagers who either had outstanding skills or had a good relationship with her to join.
In contrast, the eldest son of the Yin family, Su Qifen's family, and those villagers who had close relations with Xie Di or were on good terms with the Tian family did not benefit.
The old man of the Yin family could only smack his lips in dissatisfaction and watch Xu Qinghe shine on the stage.
In the end, Xu Qinghe carefully appointed three respected middle-aged men to serve as supervisors. They will have full authority to oversee the quality of vegetables, bean sprouts and pea powder. This seemingly easy task is actually a heavy responsibility, and any negligence will directly result in the person responsible being held accountable.
To this end, she deliberately selected middle-aged people who are calm, experienced and motivated. Although they are a little older, they are still full of energy.
When all the arrangements were finalized, most families in the village benefited greatly from this decision. Only a few families failed to get a share and left angrily. Although they were unwilling, they dared not say much, for fear that they would offend Xu Qinghe and never have similar opportunities in the future.
On the way home, Xie Yun couldn't help but complain, pointing the finger at Su Qifen, thinking that it was her obstruction that made his family gain nothing.
Su Laosi and his mother felt the same way, but when they thought that this was their own daughter, they finally held back.
Faced with Xie Yun's incessant nagging, Su's mother finally couldn't help but reply, "Have you said enough? Xiaolan is my daughter after all, your sister-in-law. How can you be so sarcastic and mean as your eldest sister-in-law?"
"I'm sarcastic? Haha." Xie Yun sneered, quickened his pace and left, thinking about going back to his mother's house the next day and asking his family to prepare for it.
She decided to seize the opportunity of cooperation with the neighboring village mentioned by Xu Qinghe and the village chief to ease her dissatisfaction.
At the same time, Xu Qinghe took Zhu Yunxiu straight to the village chief's house. They will have an in-depth discussion on the specific site for bean sprout cultivation and pea powder processing point. These two links are undoubtedly the key to the entire plan.
The village chief highly praised Xu Qinghe's leadership and meticulous planning in the threshing field. When he returned home, he immediately asked his daughter-in-law to prepare dinner.
Given that there were still many details regarding the cooperation that needed to be carefully finalized, Xu Qinghe did not hesitate at all and directly put forward his needs.
Zhu Yunxiu, feeling that it was a leisurely afternoon anyway, readily agreed. She helped the village chief's wife carefully select fresh vegetables that had just been picked that day in the yard while chatting about family matters.
At the same time, the village chief brought his two strong sons into the meeting room, sat around the table with Xu Qinghe, and formally started the discussion.
"Grandpa Village Chief, remember the last time at the grain field, I mentioned the idea of cooperating with the neighboring village. Do you still remember it? What is your opinion?" Xu Qinghe took the initiative and had already prepared a complete set of response plans in his mind in case of opposition.
The village chief's eyes revealed a hint of approval. Deep down, he had already been open to this idea, but he was looking forward to hearing Xu Qinghe's more detailed plan. So he smiled and asked, "Well, it's a good suggestion. But how do we implement it specifically? What are your thoughts? Feel free to tell us in detail."
Xu Qinghe knew that this was a great opportunity to showcase her talents, so she remained calm and said, "This is roughly the situation. Our village, as a pioneer, has successfully established a cooperative relationship with the supply and marketing cooperative."
