Chapter 227: Chapter 228 Going Home for the New Year
Before Xu Ying had a chance to speak, Third Uncle Xu had already started his non-stop monologue, recounting everything from getting on the vehicle to being ridiculed, to fighting back and meeting with reporters, and then to Xu Ying’s encounter with the foreigners.
Not only was he vivid in detail, he also exaggerated a bit, including the incident where he was held hostage by bandits.
Upon hearing that he had been taken hostage by bandits, Mr. Sun and Director Liu immediately looked concerned, and upon seeing the mark of a knife wound on Xu JianShe’s neck, both were visibly angry.
“JianShe, take a good rest at home these next few days. As for what happened to you and Xiao Xu, we’ll report it to the leadership.
We’ll fight for some subsidies for you. Having employees like you is truly a blessing for our factory.”
After the two directors had spoken, they looked curiously at Xu Ying, even more eager to hear about what had happened between Xu Ying and the foreigners and how she managed to secure so many orders.
Seeing their curiosity, Xu Ying recounted the events to them without missing a word.
After she finished, Mr. Sun was shocked, “Xiao Xu, you actually understand English?”
Hearing this, Third Uncle Xu beamed with pride, “Indeed, my niece is a high school student, you know. She did very well in her studies before.”
If it hadn’t been for the abolition of colleges, she might have been admitted early.
At that time, his niece was good for nothing except studying; she was bright and even skipped grades.
Both Mr. Sun and Mr. Niu were astonished. Even if she was a high school student, there weren’t many people in the country who could chat with foreigners like that.
“Xiao Xu, I always knew you were a smart girl, actually managing to bring international orders to our factory. You have no idea how pleased the leadership was,” said Mr. Sun, his face glowing with shared pride.
The leadership had lavished him with high praise, but in truth, that was all superficial. What mattered most was that Xiao Xu had been able to open up international business, which meant there would be a next time.
If their food factory became famous and secured some standing with the provincial leaders, they might get included in the annual foreign exchange. When that time came, they would make much more money than they did now.
Once their factory’s reputation was established, it could bring in more profits, which meant better welfare for the factory employees.
The employment problems in Yu County would be alleviated, and with that thought, Mr. Sun’s face was full of anticipation.
“Xiao Xu, you and your Third Uncle hurry over to my place to get your things for the New Year,” Old Sun said.
Mr. Niu also gave up any competition, “After you’ve been to Old Sun’s place, come by mine to get your things as well.”
Xu Ying nodded quickly.
The textile factory and food factory had made good money at the end of the year, providing particularly generous welfare to the employees.
A bucket of peanut oil, plus the unique delicacies from the food factory, and an additional ten-yuan reward.
The textile factory’s gifts were various fabrics and cotton.
They both collected an extra salary before the New Year, and then they rode back home.
Third Uncle Xu hadn’t stopped talking since they got the goods, his mouth practically grinning back to his ears.
“Yingying, can we take a detour?” asked Third Uncle Xu, putting his hands together in front of his chest, with the pitiful, big eyes unique to the Xu Family, looking at Xu Ying.
“Third Uncle, don’t you miss Third Aunt? Why don’t you hurry home to see her instead of running off to do who knows what!” Xu Ying asked.
Third Uncle Xu chuckled, “I’m off to do something important.”
Helplessly, Xu Ying followed Third Uncle Xu on a lengthy detour, only to realize what her Third Uncle’s “important thing” was.
This guy actually made a special trip to his ex-girlfriend’s family home, and then—
“Oy, can you believe how generous our Mr. Niu is? He gave us so much fabric and all that cotton. When we get back, I’m going to make new clothes for my wife and children.”
We got two barrels of oil, how long will it take to finish all that, geez, I could earn a hundred yuan in a month, and this week I’ve hustled so many orders.
Next month I should be getting two hundred yuan, right, Mr. Niu said he’d promote me to Sales Director, and with all the sundry stuff, my salary will be over 200. Third Uncle Xu was showing off like there’s no tomorrow, he stopped right at the doorstep, yelling at the top of his lungs, as if he was afraid they couldn’t hear him.
Fan Qingqing and her man Qian Baokun were tidying up in the yard, when they heard Third Uncle Xu’s aggravating voice, the pair was so frustrated they were at a loss for words, all because these two had become the factory boss’s favorites.
Fan Qingqing just stuck her head out for a peek, and Qian Baokun, infuriated, hurled the congee he was holding right at Fan Qingqing’s head, and didn’t even bother with the couplets: “Fan Qingqing what are you looking at?
Do you think you’re hard done by, being with me, that you’d be better off married to Xu JianShe?”
Fan Qingqing was full of grievances. When had she ever said such a thing?
“Qian Baokun, stop starting trouble for no reason, that’s all ancient history. I wasn’t interested before, and I’m sure as hell not interested now,” retorted Fan Qingqing, annoyed, besides, her kids were already grown.
Like she would ever do something like that.
Xu JianShe, hearing the quarreling coming from the yard, couldn’t hide his delight, he looked up and continued, “Ah, it’s just a shame some people aren’t fortunate enough.
You’d think folks wouldn’t be so greedy. They looked down on me back then, and now I’m out of their league.”

Years of pent-up resentment, and Third Uncle Xu finally had his release.
Xu Ying watched his Third Uncle with a smirk, so he had taken such a detour just to vent this pent-up anger.
Truly a strike to the heart.
But if it had been him, he reckoned there would be a fire raging in his belly too, to be cheated on then humiliated by his ex and her current partner—it’d be a wonder if it didn’t piss him off to death.
Who would’ve thought his Third Uncle had such a backstory when he was younger.
What a pity.
Having accompanied Third Uncle Xu in venting his spleen, Xu Ying quickly made his way to the village.
Just entering the village, the usual gaggle of idle gossiping ladies was gone, and aside from a few dog barks and birdcalls, it was unusually quiet.
Third Uncle Xu’s face registered shock: “Back in the day, this would mean the village had been raided.”
“Little aunt!”
“Little aunt is back!” Shitou and Hu Zi came running out together.
Hu Zi lunged and clutchingly tightly to Xu Ying’s legs, looked up with his tiger-like energy and exclaimed, “Little aunt, you’re finally back, our house got burned down.”
Xu Ying let out a cold laugh when he heard this; Chen Yanran was as merciless as ever.
Too bad her plot wouldn’t succeed this time.
Xu Ying gently patted Hu Zi’s head and picked him up.
Shitou chimed in with satisfaction: “Little aunt, Chen Zhiqing and Dong Zhiqing tried to poison our workshop, but my grandma caught them red-handed.
They’ve been taken to the police, grandma said these two will be locked up in jail.
We’re going to build a new house for our family now, grandma said to make it bigger, so that Hu Zi and I can each have a room.
When Second Uncle and Third Uncle get married and have kids, they’ll need rooms too.”
Xu Ying felt warm inside looking at the two little ones.
“Okay, got it, where’s your mom?”
“She’s at the workshop, and so is grandma.”
