Chapter 441: Explanation
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ah Zhuang’s mother was an outsider, a keeper of the secret recipe for making cured pig’s head. The product of her craft was a golden, glossy delight, each piece of meat exuding an irresistible aroma. Unlike the village folks whose cured meats often ended up spoiled or infested with maggots, her creation was flawless.
However, the villagers, skilled in the art of curing meats themselves, saw no reason to purchase hers. Attempts to sell the product in town or the city were futile due to its unappealing appearance. In the end, they could only watch as Ah Zhuang’s family reaped the extra income.
The new rule in the factory, which seemed to rob Ah Zhuang’s family of a substantial income, brought a sense of satisfaction to many.
However, Ah Zhuang, the one directly affected, was far from amused. He managed to keep his discontent hidden, not wanting to give others the satisfaction of seeing his discomfort. “Yes, we’re losing out,” he admitted, “but the Lin family is Brother Shen’s in-laws. Naturally, they should be prioritized.”
With that statement, Ah Zhuang successfully shifted the focus of the conflict. The Lin family was planning to start a braised meat business, and Su Shen had announced this policy. Wasn’t it clear that he was favorinq his wife’s family?
Everyone present understood the situation, but only Ah Zhuang dared to voice it out. After all, he was a veteran here, having followed Brother Shen since the inception of the pig farm.
Upon hearing Ah Zhuang’s words, the crowd exchanged puzzled glances, looking from Ah Zhuang to Gu Zi, who had yet to leave. Most of them remained silent.
One of them addressed Gu Zi, suggesting, “Sister-in-law, why don’t you go rest in the office? It’s awkward for us to speak freely with you here.” His tone was slightly mocking.
Gu Zi merely smiled, unperturbed. She looked at them and said, “Speak your minds, there’s no need to beat around the bush. I won’t get angry. I have to help with the braised meat business, but I have something to say to you all.”
When the boss’s wife had something to say, naturally, everyone would listen. Besides, disregarding the new welfare issue, everyone had a good impression of Gu Zi. She was beautiful, generous, and educated. For these rough men to have a conversation with a woman like her was a privilege.
