Chapter 50 - 50 Machine Factory
50 Machine Factory
He had thought that this was a matter of certainty, but he had not expected Zhou Hengyang to reject it without even thinking.
Li Youcai was naturally angry that he had been rejected. How could Su Wen be compared to his daughter? No man could tolerate her being indecent.
So Li Youcai did not show up. Instead, he was looking forward to Su Wen chasing Zhou Hengyang away and getting together with Zhao Jiangang. However, he did not mention a single word of this to w.a.n.g Chunyan. His wife was always thinking about Su Wen’s mother and wanted to help Su Wen.
If she knew, she would definitely quarrel with him.
Li Youcai coldly looked at Su Wen as she not only did not get together with Zhao Jiangang, but also turned over a new leaf and started to live a good life. He had no choice but to change his mind. After all, Su Xuewen’s support was the reason why he was able to become the village chief.
In the future, if Su Wen did not want it, he would have a clear conscience.
No matter how much Li Youcai wanted Zhou Hengyang to be his son-in-law, he would not do anything against his conscience.
“What the h*ll is this? When she is asked to get down to earn work points, she would refuse to do so. If it wasn’t painful here, it was itchy there. In the end, she had nothing better to do than to stand at the entrance of the village and bask in the sun. If word of this got out, it would be an embarra.s.sment to the Trinity Village.” Li Youcai finally spoke, “Youtian, bring me a basin of well water to treat her heatstroke.”
Chen Guihua was splashed with a basin of cold water on her face. She opened her eyes and cursed, “D**n it, which b****rd dared to splash me… ” Suddenly, she saw the village chief’s ashen face and sat up from the ground in shock.
The people who were standing around were laughing.
“Village… village chief, it’s my mouth that’s cheap, please don’t hold it against me, I don’t know how to speak.” Chen Guihua was afraid and embarra.s.sed, and she did not dare to offend Li Youcai.
In the rural areas of the 1980s, the village chief was the most prestigious person in the village. Moreover, the power in the hands of the village chief was far greater than one could imagine. The collective distribution of work, the slaughter of pigs during Chinese New Year and festivals, the collective fish pond distribution, and so on were all visible benefits.
Not to mention, when there was a conflict with someone, the village chief’s position represented everything.
Chen Guihua would never dare to offend Li Youcai.
“Look at my stinky mouth. It’s my fault, it’s all my fault.”
“Alright, don’t say anything.” Li Youcai glared at her and was too lazy to listen to Chen Guihua. “You will start planting rice seedlings in the fields in the afternoon to earn work points. Not even a day less.”
“What?” Chen Guihua’s face turned pale, “I’m not going. My back hurts. I can’t stand up.”
“Your back hurts? How did you stand at the village entrance for so long to get a heatstroke?”
“I… I’m…” Chen Guihua’s brain was spinning fast. In order to not go to the fields to earn work points, she even gave up the plan to find evidence against Su Wen, “I wanted to arrest Su Wen. I wanted to complain that she was engaging in illicit trading.”
“What?”
“What did you just say?”
“I’m reporting Su Wen for corruption! I saw it, she brought some things to town to sell this morning.” Chen Guihua seemed to be holding on to the last straw. “If you don’t believe me, you can wait for her to come back. She must have money and will definitely buy things. I saw it all, and she even bought a lot of meat.”
Chen Guihua told Li Youcai about her findings these days, and Li Youcai had to pay attention to it.

The provincial capital.
Recently, a major event happened in the provincial capital. After more than a year, the 50-year-old machinery manufacturing plant finally closed down.
After leaving behind a huge mess, the factory director changed his position to a state-owned enterprise and became the chief of the procurement department.
More than a thousand employees in the factory had been transferred away one after another. The remaining hundred or so people were all old, weak, sick, disabled, or those who had no connections. Once the factory closed down, these people would have no source of income. Just as they were about to fall into despair, news suddenly came.
