Surprise! The rough husband is the hidden boss of the period literature

Chapter 346 Shangjiang
Jiang Baohua actually felt quite relieved, but he was also quite scared. "You, at your age, why are you fighting with people? If you're going to fight, why don't you fight somewhere that people can't see? Why do you have to fight so obviously? You've almost lost half your hair. Anyone can see that you've hit someone."

"What can I say about you? You've lived most of your life and haven't gotten any smarter."

Jiang Xinglan couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Jiang Xingmei happened to come back for lunch. "What are you worried about? Doesn't that old hag still expect your sister-in-law to treat that idiot's leg? Does she dare to sue? In a couple of days, it will be too late even if she does."

Besides, nothing serious happened, why would the police station have so much free time to deal with these kinds of cases every day?

She ladled out a bowl of corn porridge, picked up a pancake, and ate it while saying, "It's just that I was too late. If I had been there, I would have beaten that old bastard up too..."

boom!
She was hit on the head.

Zhou Guizhi said, "Eat your food. Young lady, don't be so rude. Be careful someone doesn't overhear. The Zhao family sent someone over a couple of days ago, saying they'll get your wedding done in the first month of the lunar year."

Jiang Xingmei was so startled she dropped the pancake. "What did you say? 'Get things done'? What kind of things?"

She's been so busy making money lately that she's lost her mind. Plus, Zhao Jianjun is a scumbag. In her mind, she's already unilaterally broken off the engagement with him. If he doesn't show up, she won't even remember that he exists.

"What is it you want to do? When you have some free time, take that piece of red cloth and make yourself a new dress."

"No, I won't marry him! I'd rather die than marry into the Zhao family."

Everyone was stunned when Jiang Xingmei spoke. Zhou Guizhi, who was already in a bad mood, retorted angrily, "What nonsense are you spouting? If you won't marry him, what gives you the right not to?"

"Why? Just because he had an affair with that educated youth named Dongmei. Wasn't he going to marry her? Why hasn't he come to break off the engagement yet?"

Jiang Xingmei was also quite frustrated. She had figured out how to handle the situation, but the other party changed their strategy again. Wasn't this just trying to annoy her?

Zhou Guizhi was shocked. "What? What did you say? When did this happen? How do you know about Zhao Jianjun and the educated youth in their brigade?"

"Everyone in Anguang County knows about this, and you don't know? Is that my fault?"

Perhaps because they've spent so much time with Xu Qinghuan, they've unconsciously started imitating her tone and style of speaking.

"That bastard!" Zhou Guizhi was furious and started cursing, not caring that the old man and old woman were still there. She also felt wronged, "What's going on? Why do all the people I've encountered are like this!"

Jiang Xingmei was quite open-minded. "What's the big deal? If we encounter a dog, we just go around it. Besides, look at our family's situation before and what our situation is now. In the past, being able to marry the accountant of a brigade was considered a good match."

"Don't try to find me a partner in the future. I'm not looking for one right now; I still want to focus on my studies."

“Study? What are you studying? How old are you? If you don’t find a man to marry, what are you studying for? I told you to study before, but you didn’t study properly. Now that you should be getting married, you tell me you want to study.”

Zhou Guizhi was so angry that her liver hurt, but Jiang Xingmei clearly had no intention of being considerate of her. "Fine, you can look for someone in Shangjiang Brigade. Don't even think about it in other brigades. I don't want to push myself into a fire pit just to get married."

Zhou Guizhi was speechless. Indeed, now, apart from Shangjiang Brigade, the other brigades in the entire commune couldn't even get enough to eat.

The commune's food factory has been established and is selling very well, but its scale is limited. The grain in the brigade is also being consumed slowly, and it will definitely not be finished in a few months.

Now, the captains of each brigade are queuing up at the food factory, afraid that other brigades will get the next wave of supplies first. Even though it's freezing cold, they dare not leave for even a moment.

The matter remained unresolved, and Jiang Xingmei was too lazy to worry about it. Whether it was dating or marriage, it would ultimately require her approval. She didn't want to stay in the countryside anymore.

If she were to take the college entrance exam in the future, she would definitely want to go abroad. Therefore, she was secretly studying. With Xu Qinghuan, this great student, around, if she didn't seize this opportunity, she would regret it for the rest of her life.

Jiang Xingye came over. Zhou Guizhi was about to tell him that Zhao Jianjun had cheated on her sister again, but when she heard that he had come to see her uncle on important business, she stopped talking.

"The loom ordered by the textile factory is ready. I've asked them to come and pick up the equipment. Would you like to go and take a look? We paid three thousand yuan for this loom. It works very well. It's also a collaboration between the production team and a large factory in the county. Since you leaders are here, let's have a ceremony."

Jiang Baohua had just arrived at the factory when Cao Congjun arrived. The two leaders met and shook hands.

“Oh dear, now that I’ve heard that I’ve partnered with your factory, more and more people are asking me about it. I’m really worried. You postponed our loom project because of the commune’s food factory. I’m afraid you’ve taken on another big order and will postpone our loom project again.”

"I heard? Who told you that? We haven't announced it to anyone!" Jiang Xingye asked.

"Huh? Don't you know? Your Shangjiang Brigade was featured in the Huaguo Daily. The front page reported on how your Shangjiang Brigade and the educated youth created a brilliant future together. The newspaper not only said that you developed harvesters and threshing machines, but also reported on your Four Sisters clothing brand."

Now, the Four Sisters' clothing brand has gained some fame in Acheng, Shanghai, and Yancheng after Xu Qinghuan launched that little calendar.

With the added coverage from the China Daily, it became a sensation throughout the country.

Otherwise, Cao Congjun would have come in person. His purpose in coming was twofold: first, to take over the loom and see its effects in person; and second, to discuss the establishment of a factory with the four sisters' clothing manufacturers.

Jiang Xingye developed, manufactured, and assembled the loom himself. He was quite skilled at operating it. The cloth woven by the automatic loom was very delicate and had a comfortable feel. Compared with the fabrics on the market at present, it was clearly superior in terms of both quality and color.

Cao Congjun could tell at a glance that as long as the machine went into production, they would never have to worry about not being able to complete their production tasks. In fact, their fabrics would sell very well.

“Our four sisters’ garment factory must be given priority in the supply of fabrics,” Jiang Xingye said. “In the future, we will also study jacquard looms and consider giving priority to your factory.”

Cao Congjun, of course, would not disagree.

Jiang Xingye took out the contract he had prepared beforehand, and both parties signed and stamped it on the spot.

Immediately afterwards, Cao Congjun put forward their idea: "If we cooperate, you can get the fabric directly from our factory, which will be at least 30% cheaper. We can provide you with factory buildings and personnel in the county town, and you can also apply for funding through us."

But Jiang Xingye refused, saying, "We just wanted to do something small to help the female members of the production team earn a little more money; we haven't thought about anything else."

Cao Congjun was really unwilling, but he also knew that this kind of thing required patience and could not be won in one go.

Automatic looms are at least ten times faster than the looms currently used in textile factories. The key advantage is that the width of the fabric can be adjusted, with an adjustment range from 1.2 meters to 2.8 meters.

After the loom was handed over, the Shangjiang Machinery Design and Manufacturing Plant of the commune was also officially established and put into operation.

At Xu Qinghuan's suggestion, the furniture factory was renamed Shangjiang Furniture Factory.

After that, in addition to the Four Sisters Garment Factory, factories such as the Threshing Machine Factory also included the words "Shangjiang" in their names.

Happy reading, my dears!
