Shocking! My Rugged Husband is the Hidden Tycoon in the 70s Novel-Chapter 301: He Yuzhen

Li Mancang, the accountant, held a pen in his hand, scribbling and calculating, "The grain hasn’t been sold yet. Previously, the account spent some on parts for harvesters and threshers to join the cooperative, and now there’s not much left, only one or two hundred bucks in total."

He added, "By the end of the year, the production team will definitely need to share dividends with the members. If the money doesn’t come back by then, that’s going to be a troublesome issue."

The team members rely on the year-end dividends to sustain their families. If there’s no money, these production team cadres are as good as done, and they might even get criticized.

Xu Qinghuan said, "Captain, I have a solution."

Everyone turned to look at her.

"I have money on hand, I can put up ten thousand yuan, but I can’t lend it directly to the production team."

Li Mancang was so shocked that he dropped his pen, drool hanging long from his mouth, forgetting to pull it back.

Jiang Baohua was also startled and asked a question he shouldn’t have, "Where did you get so much money?"

In the eighties and nineties, a family with ten thousand yuan would make it to the newspapers, let alone now in the seventies.

Xu Qinghuan said, "Before my father sacrificed himself, he gave some money to my uncles for safekeeping, and they have already returned it to me. I’m an adopted daughter of the Huo Family, and my godparents and grandparents gave me quite a bit as well."

She looked at Jiang Xingye, "It was meant as a dowry."

But still, a dowry didn’t usually amount to tens of thousands!

"No need for so much, can’t take that much." Jiang Baohua said to Li Mancang, "What Xu, the educated youth, said today, you mustn’t let a word out. If something happens, you can’t afford the responsibility."

Li Mancang didn’t know what kind of people the Huo Family were, but giving out ten thousand as a dowry was certainly extraordinary.

He said, "Don’t worry, I’ll keep it to myself."

Xu Qinghuan didn’t expect that just by saying she had ten thousand yuan, it would cause such confusion among them.

"Now, the credit union is soliciting deposits. I can deposit the money there, and the production team can apply for a loan to withdraw the deposited amount. I don’t know if this solution will work?"

She couldn’t lend the money directly to the production team. If something went wrong, not only could she lose all the money, but it might also bring danger to her and the Jiang Family.

"I think this could work. My uncle works at the credit union. I’ll talk to him and get him to assist us with the arrangements." Li Mancang said.

"Alright, then this matter is in your hands." Jiang Baohua breathed a sigh of relief, "Calculate exactly how much to borrow, Little Wu, handle the accounting, but don’t actually borrow ten thousand. Also, the greenhouse vegetables issue will be left to Little Wu in the future;

As for your clothing factory affair, do you need to get more sewing machines? Plan to acquire a few, but let me tell you, sewing machines aren’t easy to buy. How big are you planning to scale up?"

Jiang Baohua, speaking here, realized that the production team’s issues were plenty and increasingly tangled. He waved a hand, "You guys calculate these things. I need to quickly convene a meeting with the members to explain all these matters."

"Alright, Captain, please go to the commune as soon as possible to get us a qualification certificate. We need to cooperate with the county’s textile factory and buy fabrics from them. The sooner you get this done, the sooner we start making money."

Qiao Xinyu urged, "Captain, can you get it today?"

Rarely being rushed to do things, Jiang Baohua replied grumpily, "Okay, I’ll get it for you later."

After the meeting, Xu Qinghuan and Jiang Xingye went out together. Not far away, she asked, "How are the kids, Big Egg and Second Egg? Has He Yuzhen come to see them?"

"She came by. I told Aunt that she would keep an eye out..."

Before he could finish, Zhou Guizhi came in, dripping with sweat, her face pale, "Little Wu! Second Egg is missing. We searched everywhere and couldn’t find him."

"What?" Jiang Xingye became anxious too, "When did he go missing? Where was he last seen?"

"At the threshing ground, during that corn peeling contest just now."

Jiang Xingye immediately ran towards the threshing ground, with Xu Qinghuan following behind. Jiang Baohua said he was going to the commune for the permit paperwork, but at this moment, he couldn’t care less. The whole production team joined the search, but the child was nowhere to be seen.

Xu Qinghuan pulled Jiang Xingye aside, "Let Qing Xiao find him."

After Zhou Guizhi discovered Second Egg was missing, she kept the other children at home, not allowing them to go outside. Qing Xiao stayed close to Qin Baifan, lying in the yard’s shade to cool off.

Its thick, fluffy fur rolled like wheat waves. Hearing the commotion, it lifted its head, its eyes showing a human-like expression full of confusion, seemingly asking, why are you all here?

Jiang Xingye patted its head, "Qing Xiao, Second Egg is missing. Take us to find him."

Qing Xiao howled in response and set off with agile steps towards the door.

Jiang Xingye gently comforted the anxious, sobbing Zhou Guizhi, "It’ll be alright. You stay at home while we search."

With Jiang Xingye’s assurance, Zhou Guizhi was somewhat appeased.

Xu Qinghuan followed behind Jiang Xingye. After a couple of steps, he turned and took Xu Qinghuan’s hand, "Why don’t you stay at home?"

"It’s okay, you go ahead. Don’t worry about me. I’ll follow behind." Xu Qinghuan let go of his hand.

A lost child made everyone anxious, and Xu Qinghuan was no exception.

Soon, Qing Xiao led Jiang Xingye to the back mountain.

Many of the production team’s members also followed, Xu Qinghuan trailing them.

At the nearest cliff on the mountain, Jiang Xingyong was there. He Yuzhen stood at the cliff’s edge, holding Second Egg. She seemed mad, yelling to Jiang Xingyong, "If you don’t remarry me, I’ll throw him down."

Jiang Xingyong was clearly terrified, his legs trembling, "Don’t do anything rash. I promise you, I’ll promise to remarry you. Just don’t harm the child; he’s your son too."

"He’s my son. You are all bastards, heartless scoundrels. All these years of being married to you, have you ever cared for me? You only keep complaining about me supporting my parental family;

My downfall today is all your fault. It’s because you didn’t let me support them that they sold me. How can you be so heartless?"

Seeing Jiang Xingye had arrived, Second Egg shouted desperately, "Uncle, Uncle, save me!"

He Yuzhen gave Second Egg a push toward the cliff, and Second Egg clung to her arm, crying in fear.

"You get lost, go away, don’t you stay here!" He Yuzhen pushed Second Egg toward the cliff again, "If you don’t leave, I’ll push him down." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Jiang Xingye dared not provoke this madwoman. He scanned the surroundings and signaled to Second Egg, then turned to leave.

Seeing him heading toward the cliff, Xu Qinghuan quickly pulled him back, "Let me try, and if it doesn’t work, we’ll reassess."

He Yuzhen, realizing she had scared Jiang Xingye, for the first time felt the taste of victory.

She laughed, "Serves you right, you Jiang-titled deserved to have no descendants."

Just as she was about to push Second Egg down, Xu Qinghuan approached, "He Yuzhen!"

He Yuzhen pulled Second Egg closer again, "What do you want?"

"Aren’t you in need of money to support your parental family? Now that you have Second Egg, I can buy him from you. What do you think?"
