Chapter 106: 106 KO husband beater (third watch)

Before, Granny Zhao had heard from Luo Yuzhu that Xiaofeng previously had a sweetheart, not a local fellow, and when he heard that Xiaofeng was pregnant, he ran off.

Huzi had previously taken a wife, but she was short-lived, passing away not long after joining the family, and with Huzi being tall and burly, with a fierce look to him, he became tagged with a curse of causing his wife’s death. Once word spread, people would ruin any marriage talks as soon as they heard about Huzi’s reputation.

Seeing that Huzi was about to turn thirty without finding a wife was enough to make anyone anxious. Although Xiaofeng was pregnant, she was young, age, and with the backing of a family like the Lin Family, no matter how you looked at it, the match seemed suitable.

Most importantly, before she came last night, she had matched their birth signs, and they were indeed compatible; otherwise, she wouldn’t have made the trip.

Now, hearing Xiaofeng’s implication, she suppressed her smile, her face darkening, "What do you mean? Do you mean to say your man will come back to marry you?"

Even though she didn’t know who her man was or where he might be at the moment, one had to pretend that existence meant something, she straightened up, "Of course, he said he would come back, and I will wait for him. So I’m sorry, Granny Zhao."

"Xiaofeng," Granny Zhao moved her lips, "I have something to say to you. Men from the city are unreliable. Look at Huzi’s dad. When he was courting my daughter, they were inseparable, but once he left, he never returned. Huzi’s mom knows from experience, so I’m advising you to plan for yourself. What will you do if he doesn’t come back? You and your child will still have to live."

Young people just don’t know how to plan ahead; if they did, they wouldn’t end up in situations like this.

"You’re right, Granny Zhao," Xiaofeng didn’t disagree, "But that’s just how I am, I won’t give up hope until I reach the Yellow River. So please, stop trying to persuade me. I’ll wait for him. If he doesn’t return for a year, I’ll wait a year; if ten years, then I’ll wait ten years."

Inner monologue, observing how deeply affectionate she was, she nearly moved herself to tears.

"You really think you’re such a catch, do you?" Granny Zhao completely turned her face at Xiaofeng’s words, "What an ungrateful person you are. If you want to wait, then wait. If he doesn’t come back, I’ll see how you cry."

Thinking she was understanding, turns out she was tough to negotiate with, it was infuriating.

Zhao Hu came over with a sullen face, "Wench, what did you say to my granny? If you dare to make my granny angry, I’ll knock you out with one punch."

He waved the fist in his hand.

Xiaofeng smiled slightly—who are you trying to scare? Don’t think just because you’re big, you can bully a young girl. She looked up calmly, "Why is she angry? Could it be because you can’t find a wife?"

Blaming others for your inability to find a wife—what’s the use?

Hearing Xiaofeng’s words, Zhao Hu’s face muscles bulged, and he raised his fist, readying to swing, "Say that again, and believe it or not, one punch from me could end your life."

"So it was you who killed your wife," Xiaofeng said, a sudden realization dawning upon her.

Upon hearing this, Granny Zhao quickly pulled Zhao Hu back, "He’s just a bluffer, he may look imposing but he wouldn’t actually dare to follow through."

"Xiaofeng, if you don’t want to marry, I won’t say more. But we all live nearby, we can still visit each other occasionally, right?"

Xiaofeng just smiled and walked on, "We’ll see."

Watching Xiaofeng’s retreating figure, Granny Zhao gave Zhao Hu a reproachful look, "Why did you have to scare her for no reason?"

"She dared to talk back to you."

"Enough, she hasn’t entered our family yet; we can’t control her. What do you want for lunch? I’ll make it for you."

"I want pig’s feet."

...

After browsing the market, Xiaofeng picked up a pig’s trotter and some meat and left.

There was plenty of green vegetables at home, so there was no need to buy any.

As she passed the entrance of the market, she overheard two people talking.

"Our food factory is about to go under." A man in a grey shirt exhaled a smoke ring, his face etched with worry, "Does your factory still need workers? If so, I might as well try there."

The other person also blew out a smoke ring, "Chances are slim, but you can apply. Whether they accept you or not is up to the factory."

"Look at this mess." The man in the grey shirt said helplessly, "I thought that after the food factory restructured, things would start to improve day by day. Who would have thought that as soon as the new boss took over, he’d skip town. If you’re going to skip town, don’t take over; let someone else do it. Now there are dozens of us in the factory, all waiting to be fed, and the factory just vanishes into thin air."

"Don’t panic too much. Haven’t you already sent out the word? There’s got to be a boss somewhere willing to take over."

"I’m not holding out hope for the food factory anymore; I just want to find the next opportunity quickly, so I can leave the food factory as soon as possible."

"Apply at our factory, and if there’s any news, we’ll let you know right away."

"It seems that this is the only way now."

Su Xiaofeng listened for a while and probably understood one thing, it was about a food factory that could no longer operate and was waiting for someone to take over.

She admitted that she was tempted.

As for her own small workshop-style production, not to mention her own exhaustion, the output was not enough. With insufficient output, there were limitations to how far she could go.

Thinking of this, she stopped the man in the grey shirt, "Uncle, wait a minute."

The man turned around and saw a pretty young lady calling him, pointing to himself: "Are you calling me?"

Who is this girl? He never knew her, what did she want from him?

"Uncle." Xiaofeng approached with meat in hand, her voice gentle: "I overheard your conversation just now. I’m wondering where the food factory is, could you take me there to have a look?"

Even if she wanted to take over, she needed to see if it was worth taking over, right?

The man, taken aback by the young lady’s words, shook his head as something dawned on him: "Girl, our factory is about to close down, we’re not hiring. If you are looking for a job, you should try elsewhere."

Su Xiaofeng knew there was a misunderstanding: "Uncle, I won’t hide it from you, a relative of mine is actually planning to start a food factory. I want to check it out first and then bring him over. If it’s suitable, maybe he’ll consider taking over."

Hearing this, the man finally understood Xiaofeng’s intention, "Alright, it’s not too far from here; I’ll take you there."

Mulling over something, still uncertain, "Do you really have a relative who wants to start a food factory?"

"Why would I lie to you if I weren’t interested in your conversation?"

The food factory used to produce dried plums and apricots, and a few years ago, the brand was quite famous locally. But with the evolution of time, the factory’s fame was gradually replaced by another. The factory was originally state-owned, and in recent years, as privatization became popular, a boss took it over. Somehow, less than a month after taking over, the boss disappeared without a trace.

The state had no choice but to repossess it and was waiting for a new boss to take over.

Hearing this, Xiaofeng frowned.

She wanted to take over, but the situation seemed complicated.

The previous boss had taken over, and since he was just missing and couldn’t be reached, it wasn’t certain whether something had happened to him or he simply didn’t want to continue.

Under these circumstances, taking over would surely be disadvantageous for her.

At this thought, Xiaofeng felt a pang of regret.

The factory looked good, and taking over was not out of the question.

"How about this, if there’s any news about the former boss, contact me." Xiaofeng left a phone number—it was the number and address of Chief Yuan’s family from before.

"Okay." One of the factory managers took the phone number, promising to provide a result as soon as possible.

After returning from the food factory, He Ximei and Su Peng had already come back. Seeing their return, Xiaofeng was quite surprised: "How come you’re back so soon?"

He Ximei couldn’t close her mouth from smiling: "A customer tried a taste and said it was good, they bought it all, saying they wanted to take it back to give to people."

She regretted not bringing more, having taken out only fifty bottles. After selling a dozen or so, a customer bought the remaining thirty-odd bottles.

"Xiaofeng, I’ve never thought that chili sauce could be so popular." Now she knew, no matter what, as long as you choose the right place, nothing is unsellable.

In the past few days, she had met someone selling tea eggs and also someone selling sesame seed cakes, and their business was not bad either.

Why is that?

It’s said that the meals on the train are expensive, and buying a few tea eggs or sesame seed cakes can settle a meal, which makes sense, doesn’t it?

Xiaofeng smiled: "This is just the beginning, when everyone has money, they will only become more sophisticated in their food requirements."

Seeing Xiaofeng packing up, He Ximei was somewhat surprised: "We’re heading back now?"

The chili sauce wasn’t all sold out yet, right? She was hoping to take another load out.
