Chapter 113: Chapter 113 This Is Going to Create Enmity Chapter 113: Chapter 113 This Is Going to Create Enmity At this mont, Qiao Zhiyuan also hurried over, truly living up to his role as Qiao Qingyu’s uncle, spotting his niece’s displeased expression from a distance.
She was angry, genuinely angry, and mightily so.
Uncle Qiao stepped forward, intending to pick up Qiao Qingyu’s bag, but to his surprise, Qiao Qingyu reached out to stop him, “Uncle, I’m not going ho.”
“If you’re not going ho, where will you go? You have to go ho first, and then I will take you to see your parents.”
Qiao Qingyu frowned, and she slowly stood up to look at Sun Dazhang, sighing with a sense of loss and regret.
“Sun Dazhang, I set up a Breeding Laboratory affiliated with Tenghai Research Base, and now the lab is up and running. We’ve developed a batch of high-quality dicinal herb seeds that are perfect for the Qiao Family Team’s hilly plantations. If we plant them now, we can harvest them before the first snowfall. I estimate that each acre could net a profit of 500 yuan.”
Sun Dazhang truly gasped in astonishnt.
One acre could actually net a profit of 500 yuan?
The Qiao Family Team surrounded by mountain and water, had plenty of hilly land suitable for planting. The county had planned to plant so dicinal herbs, but regrettably, they lacked the proper seeds, and the initiative had stalled. He had considered asking Qiao Zhiyuan and Qiao Qingyu to contact Tenghai Research Base to breed so dicinal herbs suitable for local cultivation.
The Qiao Family Team’s hilly land was not a small amount.
To be frank, even twenty acres would yield ten thousand yuan.
Ten thousand yuan, the entire commune probably didn’t have that much cash on hand.
That was the total inco of fifty team mbers from the beginning to the end of the year.
Sun Dazhang felt like he was running out of breath.
He said sowhat incoherently, “Qingyu, this is really too good. Just a few days ago, I was discussing the planting of these dicinal herbs at the commune eting. This really is like a pillow for a sleepy head, let’s hurry to the team headquarters and discuss this dicinal herb business properly. Qingyu, rest assured, this ti we can’t let you suffer any loss.”
Qiao Qingyu bit her lip and shook her head, picking up her canvas bag. She didn’t head towards the village but instead stepped back a few steps, and tears began to fall like raindrops.
The people around were stunned, especially Qiao Zhiyuan, whose face changed color.
Qiao Qingyu looked at Sun Dazhang, wiped away her tears, and sighed. Then her expression gradually beca colder, “I’m sorry, Sun Dazhang, but I have sothing very important to do now.”
Sun Dazhang had an uneasy feeling arising from the bottom of his heart and couldn’t help but ask, “Qingyu, what important thing do you have to do?”
Qiao Qingyu looked at Qiao Zhiyuan, her voice choked, “Uncle, I arrived here an hour ago and was planning to enter the village joyfully, but to my surprise, I was blocked by Aunt Qiao, Second Aunt Li, Aunt Zhu, and the wife of Accountant Zhang.”
Sun Dazhang felt an ominous sensation rising from within. These four were known for being the Qiao Family Team’s most troubleso and sharp-tongued troublemakers.
He involuntarily looked at Accountant Zhang, whose face had turned the color of an eggplant.
“It would have been alright if they just insulted —I am, after all, the younger generation, and they are my elders. It wouldn’t matter how they embarrassed or slandered with rumors, but they should not have insulted my mother.”
“They fabricated lies, their mouths full of foul language. Uncle, I’m going to the county public security bureau to file a complaint against them. If you’re afraid to go alone, I’ll go with you.”
The surrounding people were imdiately enveloped in dead silence.
Qiao Qingyu continued, “Uncle, I am definitely going to sue them. I won’t let any of these four people off the hook. If anyone gives you trouble or makes things difficult for you, don’t worry. You can co with to Xichuan; there’s plenty of land there and many big factories…”
Sun Dazhang’s expression grew increasingly worse.
He knew that the words that followed, Qiao Qingyu was saying them for him to hear.
To speak honestly, he was very, very grateful to Qiao Qingyu. She was a good girl, and he often praised her in the presence of others and behind their backs.
He had been thinking about how to thank her when she returned. Moreover, the 500 acres of experintal fields weren’t a one-ti deal. His potential advancent to the commune hierarchy was all thanks to Qiao Qingyu.
She was his lucky star.
But now it seed like they were becoming enemies.
These damn old won, with nothing better to do after filling their stomachs, really ought to have their slanderous mouths sewn shut with all the gossiping from one household to the next.
With extre embarrassnt, he said, “Qingyu, those old won are just running their mouths, they all speak nonsense; don’t stoop to their level.”
“Sun Dazhang, you’re wrong. Even nonsense cos with a cost and consequences. There’s a saying that spittle can drown a person, and there’s reason in that. If it weren’t for the thought of my grandparents, my parents, Uncle Qiao, and so many other relatives, I might have been overwheld and jumped into that river already.
Sun Dazhang, do you really think that talking nonsense has no repercussions? No cost? No consequences? Therefore, I definitely must sue these four mbers from your team. I will sue them until they are in jail!”
At those words, a chilling aura emanated from Qiao Qingyu, and her voice was extrely sharp.
Everyone around fell silent.
This version of Qiao Qingyu made them feel intimidated, and at the sa ti, so unfamiliar.
Uncle Qiao wiped his face and, through clenched teeth, said, “You must sue, Qingyu. Uncle will take you to the county public security bureau.”
He added another sentence, “I won’t be serving as the small team leader anymore, either. We have to put these won behind bars.”
Accountant Zhang felt like crying, his legs had gone weak.
He didn’t doubt Qiao Qingyu’s words in the slightest.
At the sa ti, he felt resentful towards his wife. At ho, he had admonished her ti and again not to get involved with Aunt Qiao, not to gossip about other households, especially not to discuss Qiao Zhicai’s affairs. He had told his wife all about how Qiao Qingyu had treated him in Xichuan, but why couldn’t she rember anything?
And Qiao Zhiyuan, saying these words, told Qiao Qingyu, “Qingyu, wait here for Uncle to get the bicycle.”
The team leader hurriedly grabbed Qiao Zhiyuan, stomping his feet anxiously. How could he escalate the situation?
Regardless of whether they ended up in jail or not, the Qiao Family Team would certainly be disgraced, and even if the offense wasn’t enough to result in imprisonnt, being taken to the county public security bureau was not a good thing for these four won.
Other villager’s families had begun to gather.
Among them were the relatives of these old won.
If it had been the old Qiao Qingyu, they wouldn’t have believed she was capable of making such a move. But now, they didn’t doubt the current Qiao Qingyu for a second, especially with Qiao Zhiyuan’s all-out attitude, which made them afraid.
If these ruinous won were taken to the public security bureau, how could their families face the village in the future?
Accountant Zhang, sweating profusely, said, “Qingyu, calm down, I’ll have my wife apologize to you.”
Qiao Qingyu’s expression was dark as she spoke word by word, “I don’t need an apology. In this mont, they still gossip freely, which proves that in your Qiao Family Team, my marriage to He Xiuyu has beco the center of all your family’s conversations. Therefore, I have my reservations about your character as well.”
