Back to 1984: I built a chicken farm on a barren mountain.

"And also, she has connections with many businessmen..."

After Old Wang finished talking about his relationship with Qin Xiaofen, he felt less awkward and started talking more, sharing some of the things he had heard about Qin Xiaofen recently.

He talked for almost half an hour straight, drinking all the water in his teacup and then refilling it several times.

Chen Youwei and Zheng Erli felt as if they were listening to the story of a legendary woman.

Although Chen Wenfeng knew about these things, his understanding was not detailed enough, and the level of shock from hearing the accounts of the parties involved or the victims was completely different.

Han Laosi was dumbfounded, especially when he heard that Qin Xiaofen liked to seek out bosses who were on the rise. He completely believed what Lao Wang said.

People who lie often know that when you tell one lie, you need to use countless lies to cover it up.

Old Wang, from his own perspective and from what he heard, didn't speak very coherently. Sometimes he talked about one thing after another, but when these things were put together, there was no problem.

Therefore, everything Lao Wang said is true. Perhaps some of the rumors are exaggerated, but Lao Wang's part is 100% true.

Han Laosi, who had been shrewd for half his life, felt a little foolish. He touched his pointed head and didn't say anything.

He liked Qin Xiaofen very much, and Qin Xiaofen had helped him a lot during this time. But when he saw what this woman really wanted, he shuddered. It was terrifying!

Chen Wenfeng watched Han Laosi's state with amusement. This scene met his expectations as a director, or rather, exceeded them. Because of Li Dahua's appearance, he didn't even have to use his go-to actor, Hou Laizi.

Chen Wenfeng opened the door, and the people eavesdropping at the door scattered in a flash, each pretending to be passing by unintentionally.

Old Wang's younger brother brought Qin Xiaofen into the yard as well. It was too cold, and he was warming himself by the earthen stove.

People gradually came out of the house.

Old Wang's younger brother knew everything was settled from his older brother's expression. His older brother was good in every way except that he was too honest; everything was written all over his face.

Qin Xiaofen was a smart woman. She had already figured out the outcome of their talks just by glancing at Lao Wang's face, but she was still a little unwilling to give up. However, when she saw Han Laosi come out, she completely gave up.

Han Laosi spotted Qin Xiaofen in the noisy crowd at a glance. He didn't resent Qin Xiaofen; instead, he felt a complex mix of emotions, like he was escaping from a demon's clutches.

Li Dahua was feeding the big yellow dog. Han Laosi thought that this silly wife was not bad, at least she wouldn't scheme against him behind his back.

(Li Dahua: That was before, it's hard to say now...)

Chen Youwei gasped, sneezed, and shouted:

"About what happened earlier, Qin Xiaofen had a little trouble with her family. Now her father is sick and misses her, so he sent her two cousins ​​to pick her up. Alright, everyone, you can all leave now..."

The people from the soy sauce factory dispersed. Although they might have some doubts, the village chief had already spoken, so what else was there to say? Besides, this woman had nothing to do with them.

Li Dahua stroked Dahuang's head. When she heard Chen Youwei say that, she took out a small piece of bone from her pocket and held it to Dahuang's mouth.

The mantises and cicadas that had frozen to death on the wall looked even more withered.

Qin Xiaofen's face was ashen. She knew that even if she cleared things up with Lao Wang, she would never have the chance to come to Chenjiazhuang again.

She suddenly felt a little regretful that she hadn't had the egg drop soup that Li Dahua had made that morning. Maybe it would have been delicious. If it wasn't, why did all the workers drink it all?

Old Wang and his brother, along with their men, led Qin Xiaofen away.

The wind picked up, and the snowflakes in the sky, which were like grains of sand, finally grew larger. In the blink of an eye, Old Wang and his group disappeared on the road, leaving only shallow footprints.

Han Laosi felt a sudden pain in his chest. He felt as if snowflakes were burying him, cold and wet.

"Fourth brother!"

"Han Laosi!"

......

Han Laosi slowly woke up on the kang (a heated brick bed). Sun Fugui came over to check on him and said that it was nothing serious. He was probably just anxious and got a headache. He just needed to rest.

Li Dahua saw Sun Fugui off.

Chen Youwei, Chen Wenfeng, and Zheng Erli were all sitting in the room.

They helped out when Han Laosi suddenly fainted.

Chen Wenfeng didn't say anything to Han Laosi, but Chen Youwei, being a man of principle, advised from the side:

"Fourth brother, this matter with Qin Xiaofen is over and done with. You didn't lose anything, you even benefited!"

"You should just focus on living a good life with Li Dahua from now on, run your factory well, stop overthinking things, and stop arguing with this person or that person..."

Chen Wenfeng, who was absentmindedly thinking about the firewood on the mountain, couldn't help but laugh when he heard Chen Youwei's next words, which were clearly implied.

Although Han Laosi had woken up, he was not in good spirits. He did not hear Chen Wenfeng's laughter and simply nodded in agreement in front of Chen Youwei.

"Dahua, we're leaving too. Take good care of Lao Si."

"Sit here a little longer. We'll have lunch here."

"No, it's alright, we'll come see him again."

Chen Youwei stepped out through the snow, followed by Zheng Erli and Chen Wenfeng, and Li Dahua also hurried out.

Li Dahua caught up and thanked Chen Youwei, Zheng Erli, and Chen Wenfeng one by one.

After Chen Wenfeng had walked a short distance, Li Dahua suddenly caught up with him, grabbed his hand, and said:

"Wenfeng, your aunt is a bit slow-witted..."

Chen Wenfeng was confused by Li Dahua's seemingly random remark:

"Auntie, just say the word if you need anything..."

"Auntie, look at your fourth uncle now that he's bedridden. I'm thinking of taking over the factory's affairs. You're one of the smartest young people out there, so if I need your help with business matters, you'll have to lend a hand!"

Ahhhhh!

Chen Wenfeng was surprised that Li Dahua, who looked so honest, actually expressed her desire to manage the factory. Had she received some training from her family? Her skills had improved so much overnight!

Chen Wenfeng wanted to try Li Dahua again, and said with a smile:

"Auntie, I didn't quite understand what you meant at first. Isn't the factory originally yours and Uncle Si's? Sun Fugui said he's fine and just needs a few days of rest. Don't worry!"

Li Dahua pulled Chen Wenfeng along again, and, taking advantage of the sound of the wind and snow, said earnestly:

"Your fourth uncle is your fourth uncle, and I am me. I'm going to be in charge. Your fourth uncle has clashed with you several times, but he's never been able to beat you. Your aunt wants your help; I'm going to take over the factory."

"Let me put it this way, I want to keep the money in my own hands..."

Li Dahua finally spoke her mind frankly. She was a little nervous, afraid that Chen Wenfeng would reject her, and also afraid that he would tell Han Laosi. But when she was at her parents' home, she had mentioned this young man, Chen Wenfeng, to her uncle. That uncle was very insightful and only said one sentence to her:

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Such a friend can be used, but once used, he is no longer my friend."

Li Dahua may not be able to be that ruthless, but she is prepared to strive in that direction...
