It’s just unfortunate for her sweet potato noodle business, which was forced to "close down" after just one day of operation.
But compared to making one or two bucks a day herself, bringing foreign exchange to Hua Country is the real business, so there’s nothing much to regret.
After Secretary Hu finished explaining and left in the car, only then did a few people gather around Lin Xiang.
"Girl, you went to the cotton spinning factory today and signed a contract with foreign rchants again?"
The matter of the five-million order would spread throughout Mianyang Town in less than a day, so Lin Xiang had no reason to hide it and truthfully said, "Yes. This ti the foreign rchant was quite reasonable, he thought the fabric produced by the cotton spinning factory was top-notch, and directly ordered five million worth of goods."
"How... how much?"
Five million?
They would never see that much money in their entire lives!
Lin Xiang secured such a big order for the cotton spinning factory; how many perks would the factory have to give her?
Not to ntion, they should at least offer her a job position, right?
Plus a bonus or sothing?
At the very least, they could give her so of those defective fabrics piled up at the factory, right?
The onlookers listening to Lin Xiang’s words had their own thoughts flying, but who would have thought, even if Lin Xiang got these rewards, it had nothing to do with them!
Lin Xiang wouldn’t be kind enough to share them with them.
The team leader’s expression wasn’t looking very pleasant.
Yesterday he was biased and didn’t give Lin Xiang the due support, but he didn’t expect that today Lin Xiang would secure a five-million foreign exchange order.
Now she’s made a na for herself in all of Mianyang Town, what does the Wang Family even matter?
Lin Xiang pretended not to see the team leader’s grim face; she was worried the roasted chicken in her arms would get cold and not taste good, so she hobbled back ho.
Lin Xiang hadn’t even reached her front door when she heard the sounds of arguing coming from inside the house.
"Lin, if you dare to hit him today, I’ll fight you to the death!"
"Fourth Lin’s, let go!"
It was Mrs. Lin’s voice, hoarse and a bit hysterical.
Lin Xiang couldn’t pretend to be injured any longer and sprinted ho.
She pushed open the courtyard door and saw two won tightly holding Mrs. Lin’s arms, not letting her move, while an elderly man and two young n were pressing down on Lin Yun.
The older man was even holding a feather duster, ready to hit Lin Yun.
"Let’s see who dares to lay a hand!"
Lin Xiang yelled and charged over like a little cannonball, knocking over the unsuspecting middle-aged man.
She took advantage of the situation to snatch the feather duster from the man’s hand and unceremoniously struck the two people holding Lin Yun.
She only hit the exposed parts like the backs of their hands and wrists, making them gasp in pain and instinctively let go.
Once Lin Yun was released, he imdiately rushed to Mrs. Lin and pulled away the people holding her down.
Lin Xiang quickly went over to help Mrs. Lin up, "Mom, are you okay?"
Mrs. Lin leaned against Lin Xiang, crying, "Girl, Mom can’t go on living! Being bullied like this, I might as well not live!"
"Second Lin’s, crying like that, how do you look? Stand up and talk, don’t let the kids laugh at you!"
It was only then that Lin Xiang noticed the speaker was an old woman with a face full of wrinkles.
She found information about these people from her original mories.
This old woman, she’s supposed to call her grandmother.
But she’s not Lin Xiang’s biological grandmother; she’s the step-wife her grandfather married after his original wife passed away, having Lin the Fourth, Lin the Fifth, and a daughter, Lin the Sixth.
Lin Xiang’s uncle and her father were born to her grandfather’s original wife. However, when her biological grandmother was having Lin Xiang’s third aunt, she died in childbirth and was gone before the month was out. Lin Xiang’s father was still a baby when her grandfather married this old woman.
The old woman had three children on her own and naturally wasn’t very good to the original wife’s three children. Back when Mr. and Mrs. Lin got married, the family didn’t help at all, and they lived in a thatched hut that leaked from all sides.
Moreover, because Mrs. Lin didn’t have children for several years after marriage, Lin Xiang’s grandfather wouldn’t let them into the house.
Back then, they valued family harmony and it wasn’t the norm to split the family, but the old woman made Uncle Lin and Mr. Lin split off and live separately, leaving the third for herself.
It wasn’t because she loved her daughter any more, but because the daughter could work and once she was of age, she could be married off for a dowry.
Ever since Mr. Lin passed away, the step-grandmother and her two sons wanted to take over, but after finding out the Lin Family had no money, they completely broke off relations with Lin Xiang’s family, and even though they lived in the sa village, there was no contact.
A few days ago, the old woman and her two sons went to live with the sixth girl who got married in the city; they just returned yesterday, and upon returning, they heard about Lin Xiang making an impression in front of the leaders.
"I did so investigating; after you helped the cotton spinning factory secure a partnership last ti, Director Chen gave you a job spot, and you sold it for eight hundred bucks. We won’t ask for the spot, just hand over the eight hundred bucks, and we’ll let it go!"
Looking at Lin the Fourth acting all entitled, Lin Xiang felt an itch in her hands and feet.
"Lin the Fourth, you don’t look fat either, so why’s your face so big?"
"Lin Xiang! Is that how you talk to your elders?"
Lin Xiang rolled her eyes, "I respect you, then you’re an elder. I don’t respect you, you’re just an old codger. Unfortunately, I don’t feel like respecting you at all, so don’t put on the elder act in front of , it’s useless!"
Was it the first ti Lin the Fourth heard soone call him an old codger?
If he’s an old codger, then what about his mother?
No, why should Lin Xiang talk to him like that?
Lin the Fourth started rolling up his sleeves, "Lin Xiang, your dad passed away early, and no one’s taught you how to behave. Today, I’ll teach you a lesson as your uncle!"
Of course, Lin Xiang wouldn’t give him the chance. She gave Lin Yun a look, indicating for him to protect Mrs. Lin, and then quickly leaped out, yelling, "Help! Is there anyone to save ? Lin the Fourth is going to kill soone!"
There were quite a few neighbors around the Lin household, and since it was alti, most were at ho waiting for dinner. As soon as Lin Xiang shouted, a bunch of people ca running.
"Uncle Zhang, Aunt Chen, Aunt Wang, Grandpa Jiang... please help us orphans and widows! Chen and his wife and two sons are at our house trying to kill us! My brother and mom are already injured, and they’ve been bullied beyond recognition!"
The villagers, hearing this, couldn’t believe it!
So they all started flocking to the Lin household.
Mrs. Lin and Lin Yun had already developed a tacit understanding with Lin Xiang.
So, as soon as Lin Xiang started crying out, the two began tearing at their clothes and hair.
"Just tearing that little bit looks nothing like you’ve been badly bullied! Like that, folks will definitely say the girl is lying!"
Mrs. Lin couldn’t stand Lin Yun’s pettiness and directly tore Lin Yun’s already tattered clothes into rags.
Lin Yun’s heart was shattered.
He only had this one good outfit.
