Reborn as Tycoon's Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 330 - 322 Smash Her Factory (Second Update)_2

"Xiulan, what do you mean by that?" The village chief happened to come by to check on the factory and heard Hu Xiulan’s words, his brows furrowed.

Hu Xiulan turned around and saw that the village chief was there: "Village Chief, you know about Guaizi’s injury at the mine a few months ago, right? Guaizi’s injuries weren’t serious at the time, just some superficial skin wounds. Back then, Xiaofeng said that the mine owner only paid out fifteen hundred, and we believed it."

She paused, "Coincidentally, our Taozi just happens to know Boss Huang, and she brought up the matter. Guess what, Boss Huang didn’t pay fifteen hundred, it was thirty thousand."

"Thirty thousand?" Someone gasped.

Thirty thousand was a significant amount—for instance, it would take a frugal family like Su Guisheng’s, saving penny by penny, more than a decade to save less than ten thousand.

Compared to the nouveau riche mine owners, these farming families would need at least a dozen years to earn thirty thousand.

"Goodness, thirty thousand, wasn’t it said that only death or severe injury would get a thirty thousand compensation?" Someone remarked.

Everyone remembered that, apparently, if someone died in the mine, their family could be compensated with thirty thousand.

If someone died and you compensated thirty thousand, it was somewhat justifiable—after all, life was lost, and any amount of money would just be a number at that point.

"Exactly, although Guaizi’s wounds looked quite scary at the time, they were just superficial, not serious injuries. Thirty thousand definitely seems excessive. The boss isn’t a fool with too much money; Guaizi merely suffered minor injuries, yet he paid him as if it was a major accident. So you see, Xiaofeng’s contribution in the middle was indispensable." As someone showed interest, Hu Xiulan became even more enthusiastic in her narration.

Everyone listening to Hu Xiulan could guess what was coming next, but with the hefty woman right there, it was awkward to ask outright to save face.

"Wasn’t Xiaofeng left alone to negotiate with Boss Huang at the time? And guess what happened, Xiaofeng asked for thirty thousand straight away. Xiaofeng is pretty, and Boss Huang jokingly said, if you want thirty thousand, you can have it, but you have to spend the night with me."

"For the sake of money, Xiaofeng agreed," Hu Xiulan said, clapping her hands, "At such a young age, she’s so immodest, willing to do anything for money, truly shameful. If you ask me, the money their family has is tainted, it’s dirty money."

"You’re talking nonsense; I think it’s your Taozi who earns dirty money, dressing up all flashy every day," He Ximei was choked with anger.

"We don’t own a factory or buy cars; the money we earn is just enough for them to use, we don’t need to earn any dirty money." Hu Xiulan said proudly, "In my opinion, this Su Xiaofeng used her body-selling money to build the factory in our village. We should have some integrity, and just smash her factory."

"Right, the factory should be smashed. She herself is unclean, how clean can her factory be? Smash it." Su Changgeng said as he picked up a hoe and headed towards the factory.

Su Wenqing and a few other workers were working at the factory at that time. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

"Wenqing, something doesn’t seem right. Su Changgeng is coming this way looking all worked up, seems like he’s looking for trouble." Su Guisheng followed behind Su Wenqing, squinting as he saw Su Changgeng approaching with a group.

Su Wenqing looked up and saw so many people coming their way, he too sensed something was amiss. He told the workers to stop what they were doing and stand there watching them approach.

He Ximei ran over from behind: "This is our family’s processing factory, I’d like to see who dares to touch it. Village Chief, you’re the village chief, you can’t just stand by and watch our factory getting smashed."

"Everyone, cool your heads. As for today’s incident, I’ll ask Xiaofeng. If Xiaofeng truly has done something to tarnish the village’s reputation, of course, I won’t allow her to build a factory here."

"Village Chief, what’s there to talk about, it’s absolutely true. With someone like her, what factory is there to run, she should just concentrate on serving men. Changgeng, looking at this factory, it just feels dirty. Smash it, out of sight, out of mind," Hu Xiulan spoke to Su Changgeng with a glance at the almost completed factory.

"Dirty stuff should be smashed," Su Changgeng lifted his hoe, ready to proceed.

"This place is already a factory, approved by the village, you have no right to smash it," Su Wenqing stepped forward, "If you smash it, we can legally hold you responsible."

"Well, Wenqing, the factory isn’t even open yet, and look how capable you’re acting," someone nearby scoffed. "If Su Xiaofeng’s money is really dirty, we certainly won’t work in that factory."

"Right, we’d rather starve than go there."

"You’re all listening to Hu Xiulan’s nonsense. Our Xiaofeng is not that kind of person," He Ximei trembled with anger. "I can guarantee with my integrity that our Xiaofeng absolutely did not do such a thing."

"Fatso, of course, you would say that. If you’re so confident, bring Xiaofeng back and have her face the accusations herself," Hu Xiulan didn’t believe that Su Xiaofeng would have the nerve to mention this incident.

"Exactly, we must clear this up. If we don’t, even if she builds a factory in the village, it won’t reflect well on us," a factory started with dirty money would make them feel ashamed to earn from it.

"This is straight from Boss Huang’s mouth; could there be any falsehood? If you don’t believe it, then let Su Xiaofeng come back," Hu Xiulan looked at the factory before her, deeming that by tonight, this place would likely become ruins.

A dirty factory should not be built at the entrance of the village.

"I dare to confront, do you dare to let Boss Huang confront me personally?" Xiaofeng stood at the back of the crowd, followed by Su Peng.

She had planned to return early to make breakfast for her dad and use the Revival Herb on him; she had no idea she would come back to such a commotion.

Everyone turned around and saw Xiaofeng, even more beautiful and radiant with her now visible pregnancy, and instinctively couldn’t bear to look at her.

"Why, if it isn’t our Boss Su? Boss Su, what brings you back at this time?" Hu Xiulan spoke sarcastically, looking at the ever-more beautiful Su Xiaofeng. "We were just discussing the settlement you received back then. You claimed you gave one and a half thousand, but Boss Huang said you took thirty thousand from him and slept with him once."

These matters were more amusing when discussed in front of the person concerned.

Xiaofeng stepped forward, and the villagers automatically made way for her.

Everyone was all ears, eager to know the truth. If Xiaofeng admitted to it, they wouldn’t need the village chief’s order; they’d probably smash her factory spontaneously.

Xiaofeng walked up opposite Hu Xiulan, standing next to Su Wenqing and the others.

Seeing Xiaofeng approaching, Su Guisheng came forward: "Xiaofeng, they’re saying the money for starting your factory is dirty. Tell your uncle, where did the money for the factory really come from? It certainly wasn’t from your elder brother and sister-in-law; I sort of know how much money they have."

Xiaofeng glanced indifferently at Su Guisheng: "Uncle, if you think my money is dirty, you can quit right now."

"That’s not what I mean, I’m just asking for everyone else...." He trailed off, confronted by Xiaofeng’s sharp and cold gaze, not daring to ask any further.

Goodness, when did Xiaofeng’s gaze become so frightening.

Old Guaizi was brought back by his great-uncle, panting as he ran and shouting: "Who dares to smash my family’s factory, I’ll never let it go!"

"Alright, you’re finally back." He Ximei stopped Guaizi: "Xiaofeng is back."

The villagers all watched Xiaofeng intently, wanting to know whether Boss Huang had given her thirty thousand or just one thousand five hundred.

"Xiaofeng, we shouldn’t have brought up this long-past matter, but since it involves the reputation of the village, please clarify for everyone how much Boss Huang actually gave you as compensation." If Xiaofeng wasn’t planning to reopen the factory, he wouldn’t have implicated himself.

Having interacted with Xiaofeng these past days, he found her to be quite decent and didn’t think she was the type of person Hu Xiulan described.
