Chapter 290 Boyfriend
Mr. Zhao tapped the table and said, "Give me three days."
Old Master Chen coughed a few times, "What?"
"Well, also, the two-year profit sharing I mentioned has already come to an end this year, and our contract has ended."
"No, that won't do. Ahem, what do you know and what can you do? I am also a grandfather and I have lived for a long time. I have experienced everything. There must be something wrong here. Don't take risks. At worst, you can just stop running the vegetable shed."
Mr. Chen excitedly lifted the quilt and was about to get off the kang, but was stopped in time by Zhao Xiaoyue.
"It's okay. I said three days, so it's three days. No matter what the result is, you can't get too excited."
Zhao Xiaoyue stood up and left with Situ Ming.
Even Master Chen couldn't stop him.
"What are you going to do?"
When we came, we took the main road, and when we went back, we took the ridges of the fields.
Walking on the empty field ridges, Situ Ming tried to hold Zhao Xiaoyue's hand and divert her attention with words.
Zhao Xiaoyue's fingers were intertwined. She was about to say something, but when she heard the question, she told the person next to her her plan.
"Do you believe that everything here was done by Chen Dawai's family?"
Situ Ming didn't care who did it. He only knew that the little woman's hands were soft, not at all like someone who had practiced martial arts for many years.
I haven't had the chance to be intimate with you for several days, and I miss you so much.
He unconsciously looked at the small mouth that opened and closed. It was very tempting, but...
"Mr. Chen's in-laws are not as friendly as they appear on the surface. How should I put it? There is a saying that goes, 'the sting is behind the wasp's tail'. They are also the kind of people who hide needles in cotton and can easily pierce your skin if you are not careful."
Zhao Xiaoyue shook her head. "As for Grandpa Chen's family, Chen Yeye has the most arrogant temper. He is not the kind of person who would go around in circles. People who are upright will usually think that others are just like themselves and are upright when faced with someone who speaks sweet words but has a treacherous heart."
"Ah~hmm!"
The man was serious and when he saw the right opportunity, he kissed Balabala's little mouth. Although he was still not satisfied, he knew it was enough.
"Well, I think your analysis is correct. Oh, sorry, I couldn't help but kiss you when I saw you were talking so logically."
He even pretended to be innocent and really listened seriously.
Zhao Xiaoyue blinked, then pursed her lips and glanced at the man with great acting skills.
"Let others catch you and call you a hooligan."
Situ Ming grabbed her hand, put it in his down jacket pocket, and said, "Boyfriend." These three words made the little woman blush and her heart beat fast.
the fourth day of the new year
If Zhao Xiaoyue said three days, it would definitely be three days.
As she expected, it was Chen Da's in-laws who were behind the trouble.
Chen Da's maternal family surname is Gao, and Old Master Chen is more than a generation older than his wife, so the Gao family looks down on Old Master Chen both openly and secretly.
Moreover, Chen Gao died of complications during childbirth when she gave birth to Chen Er.
The old man did not go again, but raised his two sons.
In the second year after the Chen family's vegetable shed became more and more successful, the Chen family asked the Gao family to join them. At first, the two families basically divided the profits 30% and 70%. The Gao family said that they were small-capitalists, but they could get 30% of the high profits. At first, the Gao family didn't take it seriously. How much profit could a vegetable shed make?
However, starting from the third year, there was a great demand for new restaurants and supply and marketing cooperative restaurants. The overall consumption level was high, and the Chen family also cultivated a variety of winter vegetables. All major restaurants, supply and marketing cooperatives, and supermarkets were all vying to order Gao's dishes, especially during festivals, and the supply could not meet the demand.
The vegetable shed alone can make a net profit of more than 5,000 yuan, which makes the Gao family jealous. The Gao family has several sons, and the eldest son is the most successful in the county.
He invited all the shop owners, restaurant managers, and heads of supply and marketing cooperatives he knew to dinner, and the implication between the lines was that he wanted to limit the sales volume of Chen's vegetable shed.
If he goes to deliver the food, everything goes smoothly, but if Chen Er goes to deliver the food, he will be picky and fussy.
In short, the Gao family wanted kickbacks.
In today's terms, the middleman makes a profit from the price difference, and this price difference is extremely high.
Furthermore, people have eyes. Seeing that the Chen family’s vegetable shed was bustling and profitable, some farmers in the surrounding area began to follow suit.
So in its sixth year, Chen’s vegetable shed encountered a crisis.
This is just the case for ordinary people. Without changing their mindset, a thing will only be fresh for one or two years at most. Some things may not even be fresh for one or two years. Then many imitators will appear. It's like a book. The original version may not be finished yet, but the pirated version has already appeared.
Can you say those people are wrong?
Anyway, no patent has been applied for!
On the third day, Zhao Xiaoyue reported everything to Old Master Chen.
Old Master Chen remained silent for a long time.
Perhaps it's mostly unbelievable.
When he married the girl from the Gao family, he was already in his thirties, while his wife was only in her early twenties.
In fact, he exchanged a load of wheat for his wife, but she died after giving birth to her second child. He didn't even have time to send her to the hospital.
Thinking of this, Old Master Chen sighed, "Hey, Little Sun, thank you for running around for me. Actually, I owed them the Gao family, and this time I can be considered to have repaid the favor."
Zhao Xiaoyue took a sip of tea and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Old Master Chen smiled bitterly, "What else can we do? This person must not do anything wrong, otherwise the ghost will definitely come knocking on the door in the middle of the night."
Chen Da was a little sad. Their mother passed away early, and they thought that they could make money together. He didn't expect that the one who harmed his family would be his own people.
From then on, the Chen family and the Gao family broke off all ties and had no more contact.
Zhao Xiaoyue didn’t understand what Old Master Chen meant. It was really a coincidence that she knew that a high price was not a good thing.
There are more than one grudges against the Gao family. When she was young, she heard those uncles and aunts say that the Gao family was good for nothing. She was surprised why they were good for nothing everywhere.
As a result, one day, Grandma Wu from Dawan Village said, "The Gao family favors boys over girls. This mentality is very serious. All the baby girls born in the Gao family will be kept by their families if they are good-looking. Most of them will be thrown into the baby girl tower to fend for themselves. The mothers who gave birth to them have no right to manage them. By the time they find out, the children are already dead or eaten by something."
Grandma Wu also said meaningfully: "Little Sun, remember this person, don't judge people by appearances. The surface of a stone is very shiny, but there may be something hidden inside."
Uh--
Anyway, Grandma Wu’s evaluation of the Gao family can be summed up in the words “beast in human form”.
As for why Old Master Chen didn't understand the ins and outs of the matter, Mr. Zhao guessed that Old Master Chen might know, but for the sake of his wife's face, he chose to turn a blind eye.
The deal between her and the old man of the Chen family was over. As for how things would develop in the future, the old man probably had his own plans, so he would not interfere.
The first month of the year has passed, and it is time to go back to school.
Before leaving, Zhao's father and mother called Zhao Xiaoyue into the house because they discovered something in the past few days.
Zhao Xiaoyue was laughing at first, but when her father asked her, "Are you dating Xiaoming?", Zhao Xiaoyue stopped laughing immediately.
