Chapter 425: Chapter 425: We Are Professionals in Surprise Attacks (Monthly Pass 250+ Updated)

"If the policy is truly liberalized so that anyone can buy tractors, it won’t be worth much. Then, our price won’t be at a loss. But if the policy is not liberalized and we are watched at home, it’s better to sell it."

Suizi’s analysis was logical. When she first bought the tractor, she had never thought Yu Jingting would ever become a factory director.

With a change in status, a change in development direction is needed accordingly. This is like the relationship between shoes and feet, where one must change shoes when feet grow bigger.

The tractor was a good thing for them when they moved into the city, but now it no longer suffices. It might be better to sell it, considering they have made enough profits either way.

"Then, in half a year’s time, if they can’t pay 2000 yuan, shall we really take their house?"

"We can’t let anyone bully us just because we’ve moved into the city. They’re using both threats and enticements, getting jealous of our profits and intimidating us with dirty tricks. If such bad influence isn’t curbed, who will lead the villagers to wealth in the future? If it’s not us, will it be them?"

After this long speech from Suizi, Wang Cuihua was utterly confused.

This daughter-in-law is great in many ways, except for her intermittent complex expressions; she can understand each sentence separately, but what do they mean together?

She focused her gaze on her son, hoping that Tiegen might translate.

"Ah, what my wife means is, in Wang Family’s arena, we should find out who the real boss is. To deal with these pricks who start trouble, we need to strike things home so they recognize us as their superiors."

Everyone understood Yu Jingting’s translation.

"We should really take their house. They cannot pick any faults. We’re the ones in the right, with a written contract. If they don’t give it up, then we must assert our stance, from now on—"

"They should call us their boss!" Yu Jingting seemed particularly keen on the idea of other people respecting him as their superior.

"Hehe, I don’t want such a silly grandchild. Look how smart our Xiaosun is."

Yu Shuisheng was somewhat disinterested, only treating it like some entertaining event.

"A few thousand yuan for some junk, is it worth all the fuss? Once the policy is relaxed, I’ll buy a car."

Yu Shuisheng stood with hands on hips, looking every bit the local tyrant. He was a very wealthy man without any worry about money.

What worried him now was finding a place to spend all his wealth.

Having too much money, that he couldn’t even deposit it in a bank. Occasionally, he had to check the money in his home to make sure rats hadn’t nibbled away at it. Life is hard indeed.

"All of you who care about nothing and talk nonsense, am I the only one in the whole family who cares about the tractor?"

Wang Cuihua listened to the whole conversation but still didn’t understand.

Yu Shuisheng leaned in with a teasing smile.

"My dear, don’t you realize that our two children are in agreement."

"???" Wang Cuihua felt her head spinning.

"Suizi’s selling of the tractor and Tiegen’s decision to not expand the production line to increase output may seem like two different things, but essentially they are the same."

"What?"

"Why did Cao Cao kill Lu Bu?"

"Why don’t you ask Cao Cao himself, why are you asking me?" Wang Cuihua was infuriated, reaching out to twist Yu Shuisheng’s ear.

It was one thing for her not to understand her daughter-in-law’s words, but for her son to confuse her too was another thing. And now even her husband started talking nonsense. He was just asking for a beating. Didn’t they have any awareness of their responsibilities within the family?!

"Hey, hey, hey, don’t twist it. Give me some face in front of the kids!"

"Speak properly!"

"What I meant is, Lu Bu was a great general, but if he couldn’t be controlled, he was a hidden threat. Similarly, expanding the production line and increasing output is good, but it’s not suitable under the current circumstances with the City Bureau. Any investment would simply go down the drain, the same goes for the tractor..."

Yu Shuisheng humbly and carefully explained to Wang Cuihua.

Suizi looked at her father-in-law approvingly and gave him a thumbs up.

Unfortunately, Yu Shuisheng, who was busy appeasing his wife, didn’t have time to engage in mutual admiration with Suizi, instead he ran after Wang Cuihua to flatter her.

"I’m starting to get it, who did your intelligence come from." Suizi looked at her father-in-law with new respect.

Patriarch Yu was always the patriarch.

He was clear-minded about everything but chose to remain passive and uninvolved.

No matter what Yu Jingting stirred up in the beer factory, he never interfered.

Because of this, Wang Cuihua often criticized him for not caring about their son.

It seemed as if his son’s career wasn’t as important as stealing neighbors’ chess pieces.

Now, looking at it, Suizi realized that the father was likely testing his son’s abilities, while also observing her, his daughter-in-law, to see if she had the capability to assist Jingting in family matters.

If the people from their village hadn’t confronted them about selling the tractor, causing her mother-in-law to worry, her father-in-law would likely still be maintaining a low profile, concealing his thoughts even from Suizi.

Suizi had reason to believe that if she and Jingting messed up, the old man would step in.

Jingting inherited his mother’s emotional intelligence, but his knack for sensing business opportunities definitely came from his father.

Jingting took pleasure in observing his mother dealing with his father through the window.

Yu Shuisheng must have hit the sensitive spot of Wang Cuihua, who was now twisting his ear and yelling.

"Hey, look at how henpecked the old man is, hahaha!"

Jingting found great joy in the spectacle through the window.

Suizi sighed softly: "Like father, like son..."

They may come across as domineering outside, but at home, they relish the role of a submissive ’henpecked’ husband. And each time, after provoking their wife they would get punished - could this be an addiction to getting their ears twisted?

The most terrifying thing is, it’s hereditary...

"When God opened the door to business for you, he must have closed a window of fearlessness in the face of one’s wife. In some way, this is called regression to the mean?"

"Cut it out, when have I ever been henpecked. I’m not like the old man."

The man who thought he had authority in the family protested.

The two men of the Yu family may enjoy submitting to their wives’ scolding at home, but their vision and intuition for predicting the market is usually very accurate.

Firstly, it was the beer factory, which had a turnaround in just under two months.

Over the course of two months, Yu Jingting maintained minimal production to barely keep operations afloat.

On the surface, it looked as if nothing was happening, but underneath, they were quietly brewing something.

Just before the end of the year, they suddenly launched a carbonated soft drink and various box of ice cream products that were never on their line before.

At a time when the other two beer factories were worried about how to develop sales channels to clear inventory and accounts, Yu Jingting staged a surprise attack.

The carbonated drink was also bottled in beer bottles and was commonly known as ’big white pear’ in the years to come.

The production was very simple: colorants and essences mixed with water and added some gases. It came in pear, orange, and pineapple flavors.

Suizi saw that this beverage hadn’t taken off in the north yet. She suggested Yu Jingting to talk to Su Zhe about it in advance.

She knew approximately what was used in it, but she wasn’t sure about the exact proportions.

Although Su Zhe was Lun Lamei’s husband, these two months Yu Jingting had almost convinced him. There was no friend that Yu Jingting couldn’t win over.

Yu Jingting figured that what Suizi was talking about must have something in common with the chemistry that Su Zhe was researching, so he went and talked to him.

He almost made Su Zhe stand up from his wheelchair in anger - what did the chemistry he was researching have to do with a beverage formula that wasn’t good for health?

Yu Jingting shamelessly insisted that both required measuring cups, scales, and other equipment to determine proportions.

This outrageous explanation almost ended their friendship, but somehow Su Zhe managed to figure out the proportions under Yu Jingting’s direction.
