Chapter 194 Is She Threatening Us?
"Zhenping's wife, is everything you said true? This is no joke. Besides, Xiao Hu is not some small factory manager. These things still need his father's approval, and the textile factory has to hold a meeting to decide."
It’s not that what the child said cannot be considered, but we should not be impatient. How can such an important matter be decided in just a few words? It’s really a joke!
"Uncle, I'm not kidding. How about this? Comrade Hu Biao doesn't need to come forward. I'll go talk to Director Hu. If this matter can be negotiated, I can find a few orphans with dexterity to try it out first, and put the things they make in the supply and marketing cooperative for trial sale. If they sell well, we will proceed to the next step. At that time, I will give you a material list, including the materials, expenses, labor and gross profit. These are all written clearly for you. Of course, your approval is indispensable. Although Qianqian is married, I believe that you and Aunt Qi have spent so much time and energy to train her and train her to be so outstanding. You don't want her to be a housewife in the future. The liaison between the commune and the textile factory is temporary. In the future, perhaps we can establish a workshop in the commune and attach it to the textile factory. Qianqian can also be the director of a small factory. If she can make it big, it will also be good for her. Leading a group of rural women to be self-reliant and strong, create income and create wealth, this is a great merit, and maybe it will be in the newspaper in the future."
Li Qianqian was shaking with excitement at Shen Meng's words, her heart was surging, her eyes were looking far away in one direction, and the scene of herself commanding the country seemed to have emerged in her mind.
Who doesn't want their children to be successful? Qi Mingyue and Li Chuan hope so too. Besides, their daughter Li Qianqian has been really outstanding since she was a child. If she hadn't gotten married, her future would have been bright.
"Normally, you will be able to go to work at the bus company in a while. Zhenping can get an allowance, and you can get a salary. Two cents can make you live a prosperous life. Why are you still thinking about helping the commune to generate income?"
"Secretary Li, look at the wrinkles at the corners of your eyes and the white hair on your head. Aren't these all because you work so hard to make the people of Ning County live a better life? Like you, I am also a child of Ning County. I also love my hometown and my people, and I love this land. I want our county to get rid of poverty as soon as possible and let our elders and villagers live a good life."
"Well said, well said, Xiao Shen, Zhenping, you two have a good understanding, really good. Xiao Hu, go get some wine, let's have a good drink, it's been a long time since I felt so happy, hehe."
"Hey, okay, Dad, I'll go get the wine."
Hu Biao was very happy. He had given up his job after Li Qianqian married him. Li Qianqian did that for the sake of family harmony and to make his mother speechless. He had kept this matter in his mind for a long time and could not let it go. He had thought that after she finished her confinement, he would see if he could find some connections in the textile factory or somewhere else to work things out. He did not expect that Shen Meng would actually find one out of thin air.
After two glasses of wine, Li Chuan raised some more questions. After all, if he really wanted to get things done, he would encounter many problems. This was not just talk. Interpersonal relationships were all things that had to be dealt with.
Shen Meng naturally knew that her current identity was that of a country woman. Even if she was about to have a stable job, she was still a small bird and could not speak to some big shots. But hehehe, fortunately, among the people at this table, except for a few children, everyone had connections. In this regard, it was much easier to get things done.
"Don't worry, Sister Meng. Textile factories often have some worn-out scraps of cloth. It's not cost-effective to sell them, but it's a pity to throw them away, so it's a good thing for the textile factory to make use of them. However, the profit of scraps is low after all, and I'm afraid no one in the textile factory will agree to spare the energy to do this."
"I've thought of this. I have a candidate here. Comrade Guo Xiuqin, the women's director of our village, is very convincing in our village in terms of both her ability and character. Let her organize the personnel and connect with Qianqian. Qianqian will connect with the textile factory. The textile factory does not need to spend any manpower, as long as it remembers the fabrics shipped each time."
"That's good, that's good. My Qianqian isn't fully recovered yet. She still needs to rest more." Li Qianqian's mind was full of work. After hearing what Hu Biao said, she immediately poked him with her elbow in dissatisfaction.
In fact, Shen Meng has already made a specific plan. She has also made samples of more than a dozen styles of head flowers. However, she came here today under the name of Li Qianqian and the child, so it is not convenient for her to reveal everything, otherwise it will seem like she has ulterior motives.
Li Chuan and Qi Mingyue were heartbroken about the Hu family's affairs and didn't want to talk about it anymore. Hu Biao felt ashamed every time he looked at his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Not to mention Li Qianqian's parents, even Hu Biao himself is unwilling to let his wife and children live in the family compound. If they suffer any harm again, who can he turn to for justice?
Shen Meng sighed and said, "Aunt Qi, Uncle Li, we are all parents, and we are all for the good of our children. No one wants to meet such in-laws, but fortunately Hu Biao is a good person. If Hu Biao is a bad person, you can let Qianqian divorce and take the child home. It's not shameful to divorce now. Qianqian is beautiful, educated, and capable. She won't have trouble finding a good in-law in the future. But Hu Biao is a good guy. Besides, the child is still young. This matter must be resolved. Director Hu brings his wife to stand at the door of the Li family every day. If this gets out, it will be really bad."
"Humph, you think Lin Rong came here to apologize to Qianqian. You think she is being sincere by standing there all day. She is threatening us. Just wait and see. In two days, she will faint. By then, rumors will spread that our Li family is bullying and looking down on the Hu family. Qianqian is spoiled and dares to bully the elderly just because she has given birth to a child. She returns to her parents' home to establish authority over her parents-in-law."
Qi Mingyue, who had been engaged in mediation work for many years, saw the crux of the problem at a glance. As soon as she said this, almost everyone in the room changed their expressions.
Li Qianqian was shaking all over. Hu Biao quickly ran into the house and got her a coat to put on her shoulders. He had originally thought that if his mother admitted her mistake, he would say something nice to her later and the family would live a good life. This matter would eventually be over. But now his heart sank.
"Since you have seen through it, why do you still give Comrade Li a chance? People always sympathize with the weak. Aunt Qi, even if you don't consider the relationship between the two families and Hu Biao Qianqian's face, you have to think about Baoguo. When the child grows up, he will know that his grandparents are so upset. Besides, this is not our fault, so we can't let her control us. So, I'll go out and talk to them. If I think it's okay, I'll let them in. If not, it depends on their performance."
Qi Mingyue and Li Chuan looked at each other. This was exactly the case. They had been in a stalemate for several days and there was no middleman to mediate. Neither family had a way out. Shen Meng was of a lower generation, but she was Qianqian and Baoguo's savior. With this title, anything she did was justifiable.
"Okay, Xiao Meng, you are right. We can't let an old woman like her control us. Just go ahead. Auntie and your Uncle Li believe in you."
Shen Meng's eyes almost disappeared with laughter, "Hey, I'll go right away."
