Rich in the 70s: I Made a Rugged Veteran a Millionaire
Chapter 170: Director Lian and the Tall Guy Arrive
Jiang Cheng waited for Uncle Zhang and accepted the large pack of mountain goods he prepared.
After putting the mountain goods into the truck, Jiang Cheng turned to look at Zhang Dageng’s relatives following him.
Jiang Cheng had thought about what to do with Zhang Dageng.
"You all don’t need to follow me, Zhang Dageng must go to jail!"
"Jiang Cheng, please!"
"Jiang Cheng!"
As soon as they spoke, several people knelt down, and some even went to plead with Uncle Zhang.
Uncle Zhang and Zhang Dageng are truly people of the same ancestry.
"You don’t need to trouble Uncle Zhang, Zhang Dageng will come out in a few years. I’m just teaching him a lesson."
"You should know, there are many people executed for hooliganism these days! I’m sparing his life, already considering Uncle Zhang’s face."
The mention of execution made the Zhang family noticeably quieter.
They even felt that what Jiang Cheng said was right.
Compared to death, accepting a few years in prison didn’t seem so hard.
The key point was Jiang Cheng’s stance today... if he wanted to deal with the Zhang family, it would be too easy.
"When it comes down to it, it’s all the fault of the Jiang family..."
With this sentence, the attention of the Zhang family successfully shifted.
Jiang Cheng was right; why should the Jiang family remain untouched!
If anyone should go in, they all should. At least Dageng would have company!
Jiang Cheng said no more.
She never planned to let the Jiang family off anyway, but Zhang Dageng’s testimony alone couldn’t prove anything.
However, she was still willing to cause some trouble for the Jiang family.
Jiang Cheng got in the truck and left.
The group returned to the Red Flag Commune.
At this time, the Red Flag Commune was slaughtering pigs and sheep, several large pots were set up at the threshing ground, and the aroma wafted far, far away.
Jiang Cheng beckoned everyone to get off the truck and eat.
Hot lamb soup served with bread, sauerkraut blood sausages, meat marrow bones, boiled pork, and braised carp.
Dish after dish was brought out.
Those who came to fight were instantly drooling.
This is so sumptuous!
Jiang Cheng stood up with a coarse white porcelain bowl, and shouted with a loud voice, "Thank you everyone for your support today, let’s eat meat and drink wine boldly!"
"Cheers!"
Jiang Cheng was the first to down a bowl of homemade village liquor, and Shen Que’s heart fluttered in the crowd.
Shen Que shook his head, looking at Jiang Cheng with indulgence.
How could his future wife seem so much like a leader of bandits?
"Cheers!"
"Let’s eat!"
The crowd of men cheered and truly started eating and drinking with abandon.
Jiang Cheng sat next to Director Lu with her wine bowl, whispering, "The people from the food factory today, give them an extra two yuan in their pay this month, it’s on me."
Director Lu nodded and said, "Alright!"
Jiang Cheng smiled, got up, and sat next to Shen Que, saying the same thing.
Shen Que was staring at her wine bowl, took it away and put it aside, "Alright, it’s on me."
Jiang Cheng heard this, her lips curved slightly, "Okay, yours is mine."
Shen Que softly hummed, almost murmuring, "It’s all yours."
Jiang Cheng secretly smiled, suppressing her smile as she got up, walked to Vice Factory Director Jian from the textile factory.
Factory Director Fang wasn’t here, but her best relation, Vice Factory Director Jian, was.
After saying the same words, Vice Factory Director Jian had only one thought in his mind: Jiang Cheng was indeed exceptional!
Suddenly, Vice Factory Director Jian called Jiang Cheng and asked her something.
"Jiang Cheng, the textile factory is recruiting cashiers and accountants...."
"Uncle Jian, Yue Er’s current position is quite good."
At this sentence, Jian Chunsheng understood.
He did want his daughter to give it a try, but since Jiang Cheng said so, there must be a reason, more than he thought.
Jiang Cheng leaned in a little closer, lowering her voice she said, "Initially, I thought of letting Yue Er take this position, but then I thought, you are the Vice Factory Director, it’s not good for Yue Er to rise further."
Upon hearing this, Jian Chunsheng was jolted.
Jiang Cheng was absolutely right!
If their family had a Vice Factory Director and another one managing finances...
Good heavens!
In ancient times, such a situation would have attracted the emperor’s suspicion and led to execution.
"Thank you, Jiang Cheng, thank you for thinking of Yue Er."
Jiang Cheng waved her hand and said, "They think of me too."
After saying this, Jiang Cheng visited each table.
She toasted a bowl at each table without wasting words, drank, and moved on, not delaying everyone’s meal.
Shen Que kept watching Jiang Cheng.
How many bowls has she drunk?
The aftereffects of this drink should be quite strong, right?
The meal lasted just under an hour.
The dishes on every table were cleanly eaten.
After eating and drinking their fill, everyone quickly got on the truck to go back.
Shen Que took the opportunity when no one was watching to go by Jiang Cheng’s side.
"Are you feeling dizzy?" 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
Jiang Cheng looked at Shen Que as if nothing were wrong.
"No dizziness at all!"
Shen Que suspiciously stared at Jiang Cheng for a long time.
Her eyes were clear, her thoughts lucid, and her cheeks were slightly flushed, making her look even more beautiful.
But it seemed like she really wasn’t drunk?
"Have you always been able to drink like this?"
A curious Shen Que asked, with Jiang Cheng blinking her eyes.
"No... this is the first time I’ve realized I can drink like this."
Jiang Cheng wasn’t lying, this was the first time the original host had drunk so much.
Unexpectedly, she had a constitution that could handle drinking a thousand cups without getting drunk!
This kind of physique, if well used, is very handy in some situations.
Still, Shen Que felt a bit uneasy and asked, "Are you sure you’re alright? Maybe you’re just slow to react, and it might hit you later?"
"Should be fine, Sister Lian is here too, don’t worry!"
Ultimately, Shen Que got on the truck and left.
After sending them off, Jiang Cheng nonchalantly followed Director Lu to inspect the cucumber matters.
That night, Jiang Cheng went to bed a little early and slept very soundly.
The next day, Jiang Cheng got up revitalized.
Over the next few days, Jiang Cheng and agricultural experts, along with Director Lu, chose the most suitable cucumbers.
With a basket of cucumbers and various agricultural reports, the group returned to the city.
Back in the city, Jiang Cheng helped organize reports, while Director Lu invited several master chefs to research pickled cucumber recipes.
Five days later, two flavors of pickled cucumbers were developed: sweet and sour leaning sweet, and sweet and sour balanced, all of which were crunchy.
Director Lu took the greenhouse report and pickle samples to meet the leaders.
Jiang Cheng, momentarily idle again, was called away by Principal Wang, only to find out it was Uncle Zhang on the phone.
Uncle Zhang told Jiang Cheng that the afternoon after she left, the police came to investigate.
The Old Mrs. Jiang worried that Zhang Dageng would implicate Jiang Laosan, so she took all the responsibility herself.
But Old Mrs. Jiang wasn’t foolish enough to say she was the mastermind.
She only said she jokingly mentioned something while chatting, and who would have thought Zhang Dageng would take it seriously.
This statement couldn’t be proven, and in the end, Old Mrs. Jiang received educational lessons — cleaning pigsties in the village for half a year.
After knowing about Jiang family’s actions, the resentment of the Zhang family soared, and they found ways to trouble Old Mrs. Jiang and other members of the Jiang family every day.
Jiang Laosan was harassed by the Zhang family several times, and eventually lost his temp job at the scrapyard.
Losing his job, Jiang Laosan returned home and continued to freeload, only to find the second household, usually sly and opportunistic, unwilling to continue with it.
Thus, the Jiang family began their daily morning quarrels and night squabbles.
Jiang Cheng wasn’t very concerned about this.
After chatting a bit about family matters with Uncle Zhang, she hung up.
Jiang Cheng thought that unless the Jiang family was out of their minds, they’d dare not bother her again.
After the call, Jiang Cheng returned to the courtyard house only to find two more people at home.
The tall guy who once pushed Shen Que to find her and Doctor Lian.
The tall guy, simple-minded, grinned when he saw Jiang Cheng.
"Hello, future sister-in-law!"
