Chapter 216 The opportunity is right in front of you

Tong Huaqiong guessed right.

Ever since Xu Yong was removed from his position as village chief, he has been unwilling to accept his fate and has always wanted to rebuild his influence in Qinghe Bay.

But I never found the opportunity.

Since Liu Tielian became the village chief, his prestige in the village has been getting higher and higher.

In addition, he has a close relationship with the Gu family, so who in the village would not want to work for Tong Huaqiong's Peach Blossom Dessert through him? Therefore, Liu Tielian's position as village chief is very secure.

Especially now that Liu Tielian has made his presence felt in the village again thanks to Widow Tong, he has found ways to help the wronged souls in the wasteland to be reincarnated, raised money to build roads in the village, and delivered rice and flour to the elderly.

Now the whole village is filled with songs praising Widow Tong and Liu Tielian.

It was impossible for him to pull Liu Tielian down.

Since that was impossible, he went upwards.

Tong Huaqiong is the godmother of the son of County Magistrate Liu, so he must climb up to someone with a thicker leg than County Magistrate Liu.

Whose legs are thicker than County Magistrate Liu? Of course, it’s the prefect.

How could he catch the eye of the prefect? ​​He was not sure that he could become a godparent of the prefect like Tong Huaqiong.

The antibacterial and anti-insect drug developed by Tong Huaqiong caught his eye.

Since Tong Huaqiong generously distributed the medicine to everyone, he could use this opportunity to secretly prepare the medicine. He would not only promote it in Qinghe Bay, but also in the entire city.

He wants to ensure that the entire city has a bumper harvest of corn this year.

By then, he will be the number one meritorious official and may even be awarded a plaque by his superiors.

When his fame overshadows Tong Huaqiong and he becomes the prefect, he will close down Taohua Dessert and even remove the entire Gu family from Qinghe Bay.

Xu Yong thought Tong Huaqiong was stupid. She didn't take advantage of such a good opportunity, but gave the medicine to the villagers for free.

As for why Tong Huaqiong distributed the medicine to the villagers for free, Xu Yong thought it was easy to understand.

Tong Da Jiao has always had a bad reputation in the village, and she did this simply to completely reverse her reputation.

After all, she is a woman, her hair is long but her knowledge is short.

Thinking of this, Xu Yong went to Xu Jin's house.

That day, Xu Zaohua happened to come to her mother's house to visit relatives.

Originally, the Zheng family would not allow Xu Zaohua to come to Qinghe Bay, but Xu Zaohua threatened her with the child in her belly, saying that if she didn't go back to her parents' home, she might not be able to keep the pregnancy safe. Only then did the Zheng family relent and sent a group of maids to Qinghe Bay to surround her.

Xu Zaohua deliberately passed by the door of Gu's house, and she felt quite regretful when she didn't see Gu Jingzhe.

Tong Huaqiong saw Xu Zaohua's scene through the door and couldn't help but glance at her stomach.

What's in that belly is the Zheng family's golden egg.

Tong Huaqiong was not afraid of Xu Zaohua. She was only worried that Xu Zaohua would do something bad to He Chao and his wife. So she asked Gu Dahan to go to the town to tell He Chao and Hong not to come to Qinghewan in the next few days to avoid any unpleasantness with Xu Zaohua.

She didn't want her boss to be schemed against by Xu Zaohua.

Xu Zaohua's belly was just showing, and it was not noticeable unless you looked carefully. After she tried her best to show off her belly in the village, she naturally heard the whole village praising Tong Huaqiong's righteous act.

She suddenly had an idea. Since Widow Tong gave the medicine away for free, why couldn't she take advantage of this opportunity to prepare the medicine?

When Xu Zaohua returned home, she heard Xu Yong discussing the prescription of medicine with Xu Jin.

Her uncle got there first.

"...Uncle, since Tong Da Jiao can make the medicine, so can we." Xu Zaohua sat down with her hand on her stomach and said to Xu Yong, "The Zheng family has many connections, why don't I take the medicine and find someone to make it."

The Zheng family is running a business, and Xu Zaohua plans to get involved after she gives birth to the baby.

But her parents-in-law were always on guard against her. They would provide her with good food and drink and would never let her interfere in the business.

Xu Zaohua always wanted to prove herself in business in order to gain recognition from her parents-in-law.

Unfortunately, I never found the opportunity.

Isn't the opportunity right in front of us now?

If she could find someone to formulate a medicine to eliminate ear rot and cotton aphids, not to mention the commendation she would receive from her superiors, the profit from each bottle would be very attractive.

My parents-in-law are not stupid. Just for the profit of the medicine, they have to support her.

She would take the opportunity to participate in the Zheng family's business and firmly grasp the financial power of the Zheng family.

From then on, her brother-in-law would no longer threaten her position.

Thinking of this, Xu Zaohua felt more and more that her decision to come to Qinghe Bay this time was absolutely correct.

Originally Xu Yong was a little hesitant.

Who would be willing to share the credit? If the medicine is successfully prepared, the credit will not belong to him alone.

Xu Zaohua saw the hesitation of her uncle and said, "Uncle, do you think you don't need money to prepare medicine? Where do you have extra money to prepare medicine now? Besides, can you find someone to prepare medicine? I have money, and the Zheng family has connections. I can't write the word Xu with one stroke. I am helping you."

Xu Jin also persuaded him, "Brother, Zaohua is right. With the help of the Zheng family's money and people, the medicine will be prepared faster. Now time waits for no one. If you go find someone to prepare the medicine yourself, maybe the corn will start to break by the time you prepare it. How can we turn things around in the village?"

Xu Yong thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case.

Xu Zaohua added fuel to the fire and said, "Uncle, think about it. I am the daughter of the Xu family. Tong Da Jiao is your enemy and my enemy as well. I don't want to see her being proud in Qinghe Bay. Gu Jingzhe might make her even more proud in the future. What do we have? Our children are not good at studying and have no business acumen. Naturally, we have to think of a way to stop Tong Da Jiao from making a comeback in the village. This time is a good opportunity."

"If we want to gain fame, let's do it in a big way. Isn't Tong Da Jiao famous in Qinghe Bay? Let's become famous in Pingchuan County and in the whole Ningcheng."

"My father-in-law is a juren. Not only does he have face in front of the county magistrate, but the prefect is also polite to him. When the medicine is ready, we will rely on my father-in-law's relationship and the prefect to promote it throughout the city. You will have a good reputation in front of the prefect, not to mention the village chief of Qinghewan, even the head of Yanguan Town will be yours. Her backer is County Magistrate Liu, and your backer is the prefect. When the time comes, you can deal with Tong Da Jiao however you want. County Magistrate Liu is not likely to go against the prefect for a godmother who is not related to him at all."

It has to be said that Xu Yong was very moved by what Xu Zaohua said.

Yes, he only thought about promoting the medicine throughout Ning City, but he didn't think about how to promote it.

How can he get in touch with the prefect?

How can the prefect trust him?

Everything will be simple if we take advantage of the Zheng family's connections.

Since the Zheng family has money and people, he should make good use of it.

"Okay, then listen to Zaohua." Xu Yong smiled, thought for a moment and said to Xu Zaohua, "Zaohua, you are right. You said that you can't write the word Xu with one stroke. Although you are the daughter-in-law of the Zheng family now, you still have a brother-in-law in the Zheng family. If you want to gain a foothold in the Zheng family, you can't do without the support of your natal family. Now the Zheng family doesn't recognize our Xu family. If I get married to the prefect and become the head of Yanguan Town, your parents-in-law will treat the Xu family as their in-laws, and you will have someone to rely on in the future."

Although these words were said thoughtfully, they contained a warning.

What I mean is that the reason why you, Xu Zaohua, have not been able to gain a foothold in the Zheng family is because your family background is not supportive. Now we are grasshoppers on the same rope. You use the resources of the Zheng family to lift me up, and I will bring my family members of the Xu family to support you.

Xu Zaohua raised her eyelids and said obediently, "Uncle is right."

At the same time, I sneered and looked down on him.

How can you, a village chief who was dismissed, put on airs in front of the eldest lady of the Zheng family?

Once the medicine is prepared, all the credit will naturally be hers.
