Xiao Bai overheard what those people were saying and went back to tell Bai Xiaoyue. He himself laughed so hard he almost fell over.
Bai Xiaoyue scolded her son: "With these things, others won't look down on your sister."
You need to work hard. The more successful you are, the more confident your sister will be, and the less likely others will dare to bully her.
Xiao Bai laughed and said, "Mom, are you mistaken? It's good enough that my sister doesn't bully others, let alone someone who dares to bully her."
"My brother-in-law will tear the person apart without my sister even lifting a finger."
Bai Xiaoyue tapped her son on the head a few times:
"I'm talking to you, and all you do is talk back. What, are you making excuses for not wanting to work hard?"
Xiao Bai looked around and saw that his father wasn't there.
"Mom, keep your voice down, or you'll attract Dad's attention. I'll try my best, okay? I'll definitely try my best to make my sister the queen, alright?"
Bai Xiaoyue nodded:
"That's more like it. Xiaobai, your sister is married now, do you have someone you like? I happen to be here, bring them to me so I can meet them."
Xiao Bai yelled, "Mom, I'm not old enough yet!" and then ran off in a flash.
Bai Xiaoyue laughed and scolded, "You brat."
Li Mingyue sneaked out of the room, pulled Bai Xiaoyue inside, and then closed the door.
Bai Xiaoyue asked, puzzled:
"Mingyue, why are you being so secretive? Is there something you need to hide?"
Li Mingyue said softly, "I heard your conversation with Xiaobai."
Bai Xiaoyue: "So what if I heard it? I didn't say anything shameful."
Li Mingyue asked, "Xiaoyue, does your Xiaobai have someone he likes?"
Bai Xiaoyue: "What do you mean?"
Li Mingyue: "Based on my observations over the past few days, I think An'an might like your Xiaobai."
Bai Xiaoyue exclaimed in surprise, "Really? An'an has taken a liking to my naughty boy?"
Li Mingyue nodded: "She always unconsciously steals glances at Xiaobai, and sometimes she even blushes. She gets especially happy when she sees Xiaobai."
This phenomenon is an expression of liking someone.
Bai Xiaoyue said happily, "Mingyue, this is great! An'an is so wonderful, I love her so much."
"Wouldn't it be better if our two families became in-laws? An'an wouldn't have to suffer mistreatment at other people's homes, and she wouldn't have to worry about others treating her daughter badly."
Li Mingyue rolled her eyes:
"Is that the point? The key question is whether Xiaobai likes An'an or not."
Bai Xiaoyue's excitement cooled down immediately:
"Mingyue, don't rush, let me go and find out first."
With Cui Yu taking care of Chang Le in the future, it's time for me to start worrying about my son.
She excitedly ran to find Yan Ci. When Yan Ci saw his wife looking for him, he thought she had something urgent to tell him.
After greeting Yan Xiaosong and Ye Changxing, he came inside:
"Honey, what's wrong? Is something the matter?"
Bai Xiaoyue hugged Yan Ci's arm and said:
"Aci, go and find out if Xiaobai has anyone she likes?"
Yan Ci gently patted his wife's head: "Our son is still young, why are you in such a hurry?"
Bai Xiaoyue said with sparkling eyes:
“An’an likes Xiao Bai, and I like An’an as my daughter-in-law.”
Yan Ci: "What's the use if you like it? It has to be something our son likes."
Bai Xiaoyue: "So, you should try to subtly inquire whether he has anyone in his heart."
Yan Ci: "Wife, matters of the heart should be left to develop naturally, don't be impatient."
Bai Xiaoyue: "I just want to know if it's even possible!"
Yan Ci said helplessly, "Fine, I'll go ask. You don't have to go, understand? Otherwise, it might backfire."
Bai Xiaoyue nodded vigorously.
Three days after Chang Le's wedding, everyone went back to the Hongxing Production Brigade, leaving Yan Xiaosong and his wife to guard the shop.
The group was quite a sight to behold.
Back in the village, Ye Changxing and his wife took their child to visit their grandparents and parents.
Li Mingyue also took her family back to pack up. She said that Bai Xiaoyue's house was too small, so she would pack up and go back to her parents' house to stay.
Bai Xiaoyue arranged for Grandma Xie and Cui Jinxiu to stay at her home, while Grandpa Cui, Cui Yunchen, and Xiaobai stayed at their maternal grandparents' house.
Chang Le's room was specially set aside to be cleaned and decorated.
After Bai Xiaoyue and Yan Ci told Bai's parents, they went to find Bai's uncle without stopping.
When Bai Xiaoyue saw Uncle Bai, she was surprised. Uncle Bai looked much older and his energy was not as good as before.
Seeing Bai Xiaoyue and Yan Ci, Uncle Bai was unusually happy. Knowing that Chang Le was getting married and inviting guests home, he repeatedly said yes.
Bai Xiaoyue then went to Bai Wenli's house to find Ye Fengqin, only to learn that the reason her uncle was in poor condition was because he had stepped down, and the current village secretary was Ye Jianguo.
She told Yan Ci, "It's just a village cadre position, so what if I don't want to be one? Why does my uncle take it so seriously?"
Yan Ci told her that her uncle had worried about the villagers his whole life, and it was inevitable that he would feel a little uncomfortable to suddenly not be able to take care of them.
Bai Xiaoyue went to the garment factory to find Bai Wenyi again.
Bai Wenyi was sitting listlessly in his office, sighing.
Bai Xiaoyue knocked on the door: "Second Brother, what happened?"
Upon seeing Bai Xiaoyue and Yan Ci, Bai Wenyi immediately regained his energy:
"Xiaoyue, Yanci, you're back!"
Bai Xiaoyue sat in the chair that Yan Cishun had offered her and asked, "Second Brother, what exactly happened?"
Bai Wenyi said with distress:
"Xiaoyue, the factory is going to close down, and the workers haven't been paid for three months."
Bai Xiaoyue asked, "Why? Where are your clients?"
Bai Wenyi waved his hand: "Don't mention it, they were all snatched away."
Bai Xiaoyue: "No way, you're so eloquent, yet someone still manages to steal your clients."
Bai Wenyi: "The facts are clear: the meat processing plant has already gone bankrupt, and this garment factory will soon close down as well."
Bai Xiaoyue: "What will happen next? Won't the village do anything about it?"
Bai Wenyi: "The village would be happy to shut down a factory that doesn't make money."
Bai Xiaoyue asked, "What if someone were to sell the factory?"
Bai Wenyi: "Who would buy a factory that doesn't make money? Nobody's stupid."
Bai Xiaoyue didn't say anything.
Bai Wenyi jumped up and grabbed Bai Xiaoyue's hand: "Xiaoyue, do you want to buy it?"
Yan Ci frowned: "Be more composed."
Bai Wenyi chuckled and quickly withdrew his hand:
"Xiaoyue, are you really sure you can buy it? As long as you can cover the workers' wages, that's fine."
Bai Xiaoyue: "Can you make that decision?"
Bai Wenyi scratched his head: "I think it should be fine."
Bai Xiaoyue asked, "How much wages are owed to the workers?"
Bai Wenyi: "More than six thousand yuan."
Bai Xiaoyue: "Don't you have any?"
Bai Wenyi: "Yes, it is, but why would I buy a factory that doesn't make money?"
Bai Xiaoyue: "Then you go talk to them. I'll be home these next few days anyway."
As the couple walked out of the garment factory, Bai Xiaoyue sighed:
“Aci, why didn’t Uncle Xiang give Second Brother any advice? A perfectly good garment factory just went bankrupt like that.”
Yan Ci: "Uncle Xiang's work is not in this field; it's like being in a completely different world."
Bai Xiaoyue nodded: "That's true."
Yan Ci: "Wife, why are you buying a garment factory? Aren't you coming to the South with me?"
Bai Xiaoyue quickly said, "Wherever you are, I will be there. I'll buy it, or you can let my second brother manage it."
Yan Ci stopped in his tracks: "He already let the factory go bankrupt, and you still want him to manage it?"
