These words were like a bucket of cold water that extinguished all the arrogance of the woman. She immediately fell silent and stopped talking.
Afterwards, the mother-in-law apologized repeatedly and asked to change the ward, and the storm was finally settled.
"Well done, little girl, you are very brave."
The uncle who initially stood up to support Xu Qinghe had a satisfied smile on his face and his eyes were full of admiration for her.
Faced with difficulties, Xu Qinghe remained calm and chose to solve the problem through legal means with clear thinking. This calmness and rationality are not possessed by everyone.
Many people are afraid of trouble and think that the situation will become complicated once the police are involved. However, they do not know that the police exist to protect the rights and interests of the people. However, many times, people miss the opportunity to seek help because they do not understand.
Xu Qinghe bowed politely and responded, "Thank you, old man, for speaking up for me just now. I also thank you all for your support and understanding."
"You're welcome. We also can't stand those who make trouble without reason."
The uncle waved his hand and pointed to the ward next to him. "I live next door. If you have time, you are welcome to come and chat with me."
Although Xu Qinghe was not sure what to talk about with the uncle, she nodded obediently and agreed.
As the crowd gradually dispersed, the family also moved out of the original ward, leaving behind a quiet space with only themselves.
"Alas, that child is so pitiful. He has such a mother. What a miserable fate..."
Qin Huixin sighed softly, the sound was subtle but full of helplessness and heaviness, as if it was the last fallen leaf in autumn, slowly drifting down into her heart, stirring up ripples.
She felt an unprecedented sense of powerlessness. Facing the helpless look of the child, her heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, making her feel suffocated and unable to breathe.
Seeing this, Xu Qinghe immediately changed the subject, trying to dispel the dullness.
"Aunt, let's change the subject and talk about something happy. This morning, my negotiations with the food factory went very smoothly, and the cooperation has been finalized!"
Her voice was full of energy and anticipation, like a ray of warm sunshine penetrating the haze and illuminating the entire room.
Xu Qinghe had a plan in mind for this special visit. She hoped to pave the way for Qin Huixin's family so that everything could run quickly and smoothly.
Upon hearing this, Sun Hongqi couldn't wait to ask, his eyes flashing with curiosity and eagerness. "Cousin, what exactly is this cooperation you and my mother were talking about? I'm so confused by what she said. Can you tell me more in detail?"
Sun Fu was also attracted by this topic. He took two steps forward and stared at Xu Qinghe with sparkling eyes, full of great interest.
In fact, the day before, Qin Huixin just took advantage of the time when the mother and son next door went out for a walk to hurriedly reveal some information to her family, for fear that they would suddenly come back and see them.
In addition, she was nervous and excited at the time, so her words were somewhat vague.
This made Sun Hongqi and his son feel as if their hearts were being gnawed by ants, and they could not rest all night.
Now that Xu Qinghe came in person, they finally had the opportunity to learn more in detail, and naturally they were impatient.
Xu Qinghe patiently re-explained in detail what he had discussed with Qin Huixin earlier, his tone tinged with regret. "Originally, I wanted to include the vegetables you grow there in our sales, but considering the distance, transportation is not only inconvenient but also risky. So, I'm considering switching to crops like soybeans and peas, which you can also grow. If all goes well, our village's cooperation with the supply and marketing cooperative will be able to develop steadily over the next few years."
Especially now, the cooperation with food factories has led to a surge in demand for soybeans.
Xu Qinghe even suggested that Sun Hongqi could go to other villages to make purchases, but not do it secretly. Instead, he should negotiate with the village heads in an open and honest manner and proceed through formal channels.
Sun Hongqi was born with a keen business mind. After hearing these words, unlike Qin Huixin's hesitation, he seemed extremely excited and couldn't wait to take action immediately.
He understood what his cousin was hinting at. As long as he handled it properly, the profit margin would be enough for him to make a small profit.
In these difficult days, who can resist such temptation? As long as you don't go too far and don't cause others to report you, everything will be safe.
"Don't worry, cousin. I will buy more soybeans and peas to ensure that your workshop will not be out of stock."
Sun Hongqi agreed immediately. Qin Huixin breathed a sigh of relief to see her son so straightforward.
Xu Qinghe was full of confidence in Sun Hongqi and responded with a smile: "Don't worry, cousin. We'll talk about it in detail after you are discharged from the hospital."
She didn't stay in the hospital long. After a few brief greetings, she rode her bike back to the village.
She needed to find the village chief as soon as possible, inform him of the plan to open a new workshop, and strive to implement it as soon as possible. After all, Director Zhang did not leave them much time.
When she returned home, Xu Qinghe was surprised to find that the village chief's wife was actually at her house, chatting animatedly with her grandmother.
The village chief's wife is a few years younger than grandma. She lives a wealthy life and looks particularly young and energetic. In comparison, Zhu Yunxiu seems much older when she is next to the village chief's wife.
But this did not hinder the lively conversation between the two elders. When Xu Qinghe entered the room, he saw the two of them laughing with their heads raised, their laughter clear and pleasant.
"Grandma, Village Chief Grandma, what are you talking about? You look so happy!"
Xu Qinghe pushed the cart into the yard, and the two puppies circled happily around her feet, as if welcoming her return.
"Your village head grandmother saw that I was lonely at home, so she came to keep me company and cheer me up!"
The village head's wife continued, a warm smile on her face, "I was also bored, so I came over to chat with your grandma. I heard your cousin was in the hospital. Is he feeling better now?"
"The surgery is complete. I'll need to stay in the hospital for a few days before I can go home and recuperate. It's no big deal. By the way, Village Chief Granny, I've negotiated another deal today, and I was just about to discuss it with Village Chief Grandpa. Is Grandpa home?"
"What?"
The village head's wife's eyes widened in surprise. They had just been discussing her cousin, but how could they suddenly turn to discussing cooperation? What kind of cooperation was this?
Could there be some new cooperative project? Our small village, so poor, could possibly come up with an international-level collaboration? The village head's wife's heart was like a pot of boiling water, her eyes full of confusion, almost drifting off into the clouds.
"Haha, it's about the cooperation with the food factory. I mentioned it to the village chief some time ago, and today it's finally settled."
Xu Qinghe said lightly that he would have to report in detail when he met the village chief later, so he would just briefly mention it now.
When Zhu Yunxiu heard that the cooperation was successful, she was overjoyed.
