Qin Wen gritted his teeth in hatred, "She really has nine lives, to make such a turnaround with the Old Food Factory’s mess. Isn’t she just a woman from the countryside? What skills can she have? To think she could even persuade the county leaders to help her out? I bet she’s got some unsavory tricks up her sleeve. Didn’t you say before that her relationship with Su Wensong is unclear?"
Ma Suyun’s eyes also flickered with malice, "You really can’t be sure. How come nobody has managed to do anything after so many days? I’ve heard the village chief even went to see the town head. If she really had that much capability, this would have been resolved long ago. Maybe she’s been finding connections these past few days. No wonder though, she was born beautiful, and her man isn’t home..."
As she said this, Ma Suyun suddenly paused, "Right, when I was coming back just now, I think I saw your fourth brother Qin Yang returning."
............
After everyone had their fill, Lin Chuxia personally saw them back to Xiyang Food Factory.
The news of the county leadership’s involvement with the Old Food Factory and Xiyang Food Factory had already spread far and wide, and everyone knew that someone at Xiyang Food Factory was taking charge and that the detainees would soon be released.
The family members of the detained were all waiting at the entrance of Xiyang Food Factory, excitedly advancing towards their returned relatives.
Of course, this excluded the family of Qin Jianjun.
Qin Jianjun watched as his colleagues’ parents stepped forward to greet their children, some even shedding tears, as he looked around in a daze.
He finally spotted his younger brother, Qin Jianshe, emerging from the shade of a wall.
Qin Jianjun moved forward with some emotion, "Did mom and dad send you to pick me up? Are they too busy with farm work to come?"
It was understandable; with such a big incident at the food factory, his parents should be helping his aunt with all the running around, so the farm work must have been delayed.
Now that things had been resolved, his parents, always good at managing their life, must be making up for lost time in the fields.
The considerate Qin Jianjun didn’t wait for an answer from Qin Jianshe and continued, "Actually, there’s no need for family to pick me up; having my aunt is enough. But it makes me happy that you are so concerned about your big brother."
Qin Jianshe looked at his brother, blinked, and spoke with a puzzled face.
"Brother, are you daft from being locked up for days at the police station? It wouldn’t even take half an hour to crawl home from the food factory, and you want mom and dad to pick you up?"
Qin Jianjun was taken aback, "Aren’t mom and dad working in the fields?"
"No way, they’re at home taking a nap."
"Didn’t you come to pick me up?"
Qin Jianshe looked disdainful, "Why would I pick you up? I just came to watch the excitement."
Qin Jianjun: "..."
I guess that’s where brotherhood ends, then.
"Pfft!"
Lin Chuxia and Qin Wu couldn’t hold back their laughter any longer, despite being his elders and not supposed to mock the younger ones.
Qin Liang and Qian Chuncao trusted Lin Chuxia completely with their son; they weren’t worried about him even when the incident hadn’t been resolved, let alone now that it had.
Qin Wu finally managed to suppress his laughter and seriously stepped forward, patting Qin Jianjun on the shoulder, "You kid, isn’t it enough that your aunt and Uncle are personally picking you up?"
Qin Jianjun snapped out of his sadness, chuckling, "Of course it’s enough. It’s just that I’ve been cooped up for so long, I needed to liven up the atmosphere now that I’m out."
Afterward, he disdainfully pursed his lips at Qin Jianshe, "This is adult business; what’s a child like you doing here adding to the chaos?"
Now it was Qin Jianshe’s turn to question his life choices.
Lin Chuxia couldn’t help but smile until her eyes bent into crescents.
"Xiaxia!"
A man’s voice suddenly came from behind, and Qin Jianjun and Qin Jianshe’s eyes lit up, "Uncle!"
Lin Chuxia also turned around, only to see Qin Yang approaching from a distance, his face full of concern.
"Are you alright?"
Qin Yang came up and gave her a thorough look-over.
Chuxia looked at the sweat on his forehead and didn’t know where he had hurried over from, she quickly comforted him, "I’m fine, everything has passed."
Qin Yang was not comforted.
The moment he got off the train, he heard that there had been chaos at Xiyang Food Factory. After getting home and not seeing Lin Chuxia, he grew even more anxious. He rushed over before even listening to his parents’ explanation.
"With such a big incident, why didn’t you call me?"
His tone was a bit stern, and his heart was also unsettled.
His wife has been handling the business all by herself from the start, bearing everything alone, as if in her eyes, her husband was just a decoration.
No, not even a decoration.
Decorations are placed at home, and can be seen every day.
Lin Chuxia blinked innocently; she hadn’t even thought of calling Qin Yang. She was just used to dealing with everything alone in her previous life.
She also knew that this incident had blown up a bit too much, and if Qin Yang hadn’t found out, it might have been fine, but since he had, such concealment was indeed improper.
Looking around, her tone softened, "Mr. Qin, could you give some face to Mr. Lin in front of the colleagues?"
Only then did Qin Yang realize that this was in front of a crowd, "Sorry, I was just too anxious. Is everything handled? Is there anything I can help with?"
Qin Jianjun and Qin Jianshe, the two brothers, watched their fourth uncle and fourth aunt interact and couldn’t help but make faces at each other.
In their eyes, their fourth uncle was always calm and composed, giving a sense of distance.
And their fourth aunt, Chuxia, although amiable, was a strong and capable woman who could shoulder heavy responsibilities with decisive and efficient action.
They never expected the two of them to seem like completely different people when together.
No wonder their mother always said that their fourth uncle and fourth aunt had a good relationship.
Qin Wu touched his nose; he was close to his fourth brother, but at this moment he felt somewhat superfluous.
He raised his hand and patted his two nephews, "Let’s go, you should hurry home and give your parents peace of mind."
Qin Jianjun rubbed his head, slightly unwilling, "My parents aren’t worried about me, why do I need to give them peace of mind?"
Despite his words, he obediently left with Qin Wu.
Other family members who had come to meet their kin also gradually went back home.
The entrance of the factory quieted down, Qin Yang looked at Lin Chuxia, "Do you want to go check on the factory?"
Originally, Lin Chuxia planned to go to the factory and hand over matters to Su Wensong, but now that Qin Yang was back, it was okay not to go for the time being.
"Let’s go home first."
Qin Yang hummed in agreement and walked home side by side with Lin Chuxia.
"What was the Old Food Factory’s motive this time? The county leaders got involved, they didn’t give you a hard time, did they?"
He only understood fragments on the way; even though the incident had passed, after having been in turmoil for about ten days, how could he not inquire?
"After the beef sauce production line went into production, our products took over most of the market in our distribution region, causing the Old Food Factory’s market to shrink continuously. These past few days I have inquired—at present, they only have less than thirty percent of their original orders, and it’s still decreasing. They are desperate now."
During the standoff between the Old Food Factory and Xiyang Food, Lin Chuxia got information from various sources.
"But this is the result I expected. The beef sauce production line was started to compete with the Old Food Factory, only I didn’t expect Liu Guoyi to be so shameless."
Qin Yang turned his head, a cold glint flashing through his eyes, and mentally noted this name, "What do you mean?"
Lin Chuxia explained the conflict between the two families and the situation where only their family was taken in for "investigation."
"They said they would take them for an investigation, but they were locked up for three to four days. If Bai County hadn’t stepped in, Jianjun and the others might still be locked up. After that, we didn’t dare to conflict with them, taking into consideration this aspect."
At this point, Lin Chuxia let out a long sigh of relief, "Now it’s better, I guess I can give Liu Guoyi a headache for a while. With the county leaders stepping in, it won’t be easy to fool them."
Qin Yang sneered, "Maybe someone had interfere long before? Are you sure they will receive their due punishment?"
