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

Chapter 367 What if Xu Qinghuan refuses to come?

Liu Qidong returned to Yancheng and reported his conversation with Jiang Chengxu to Lu Zongsheng word for word.

It was very strange, but Lu Zongsheng just couldn't help but believe it.

Otherwise, it is impossible to explain why the Jiang and Lu families' assets disappeared without a trace.

"Do you think he's talking nonsense?" Lu Zongsheng shook his head. "No matter how problematic Jiang Chengxu's words are, he got one thing right: Xu Qinghuan studied traditional Chinese medicine under Zhang Huaishan, so why would she need surgery?"

Don't forget, her surgical suturing skills are exceptional. Where did she learn that? You won't find a surgeon in the entire city of Yan who can suture more beautifully than her.

Liu Qidong couldn't explain either, "Sir, I was just assuming things!"

“It’s not your fault, nobody would have thought of that,” Lu Zongsheng said. “There’s another thing you need to be careful about. All fifteen of Japan’s special agents were killed by Xu Qinghuan and Jiang Xingye.”

Liu Qidong was taken aback, realizing he was referring to the incident where the Japanese personnel failed at the hot spring valley. "Didn't the report say that Jian Jingchuan's men encountered those people and engaged in a sniper battle in the mountains?"

Lu Zongsheng glanced at Liu Qidong, who lowered his head in shame. That was just what was said to outsiders; he shouldn't have believed it.

"Sir, I will be careful!"

"You should have encountered Japanese agents before. They are all experts who can take on ten people at once. If those two were ordinary, how did they manage to kill fifteen people without getting hurt?"
Also, I heard that Xu Qinghuan has a pill that can further stimulate the body's potential.

Liu Qidong dared not let his information lag too much any longer. "Yes, I've heard that too. Huo Chi's strength has improved a lot compared to before. After returning to the army, all his training data is much better than before."

Lu Zongsheng didn't mention one more thing: Huo Zhenting's wife suddenly "rejuvenated".

"Xu Qinghuan is a very problematic person," Liu Qidong thought to himself.

The more I think about it, the more terrified I become.

Lu Zongsheng said, "This time, let Mingqiu go with you. Let's be polite first and then force it. Let's invite Comrade Xu Qinghuan to Yancheng. First, to perform surgery on Mingxu, and second, there are some things that need to be clarified in person."

Liu Qidong knew that performing surgery on Lu Mingxu was just an excuse; once Xu Qinghuan arrived in Yancheng, it would be impossible for her to return.

Although the Huo family is still around, and Jian Jingchuan is a fierce wolf that cannot be provoked, if people fall into their hands, we will be hesitant to act rashly, and it is hard to say which side will ultimately prevail.

As far as Lu Zongsheng was concerned, even if Lu Ranglian made some mistakes, the one who ultimately caused the bad consequences was Jiang Zhenguo. He and his son had worked hard for the country and the people for so many years, and had made a lot of contributions. How could he not show them any mercy?

Before leaving, Liu Qidong was also a little worried, "Chief, what if Xu Qinghuan refuses to come?"

He asked what means they could use.
Lu Zongsheng gave an irrelevant answer, "We still need to make it clear to her that Mingxu is her younger brother no matter what."

Liu Qidong knew that Lu Zongsheng meant something else entirely: unless Xu Qinghuan didn't want to live a normal life, she would never refuse to come to Yancheng while watching her younger brother become disabled.

Jiang Baohua, from the Shangjiang Brigade, was in a state of distress.

After dinner, the family sat on the kang (a heated brick bed) and talked. Xu Qinghuan was called over and didn't leave. The old lady pulled her to sit next to her. Jiang Xingye looked at the old lady with some jealousy, but he didn't take Jiang Baohua's words to heart.

“Obviously, the higher-ups see that Shangjiang Brigade is doing well now and want to use my help,” Jiang Baohua said with annoyance. “What help do I have? Do I have that ability? Isn’t this pushing me into a fire pit?” Xu Qinghuan said, “Uncle Captain, it’s understandable that the higher-ups want Hongqi Commune to develop more industries. After this year’s ‘Southern Trade Fair,’ our orders will definitely increase. When the factory expands, the number of people in Shangjiang Brigade will definitely not be enough. People from nearby villages can come to work here. We will definitely select the best ones to hire. That’s one point.”

Jiang Baohua has already received the transfer order; he has no choice but to go.

Countless people are watching him. Didn't someone try to bring him down by using Xu Qinghuan before?

It was because of this that he was scared, so he gritted his teeth and went ahead with it.

"Secondly, I also have two projects that we can work on. One is to build a chemical plant to produce soap, detergents and the like; the other is to make some products specifically for export, targeting women's beauty products."

The Lu family will definitely start with her medical skills, so she will make her products public and show them to people.

"This...this is all your technology. Is it appropriate for you to show it all?"

“There’s nothing wrong with it. In that case, we might have to organize the villagers to plant some medicinal herbs. I’ll take out some seeds later and see how the team leader arranges the planting.”

Jiang Baohua was like a soldier going to the battlefield. He was empty-handed before and had no confidence, but now that he had something in his hands, he finally had the courage.

All the jujube seeds in the mountains have been harvested. Jiang Xingye arranged for people to plow and harrow the land again, and the soil quality is much better than before.

The seeds of the pearl tree are used for medicine, and Xu Qinghuan gave about ten catties to the brigade headquarters for distribution as seeds.

Now, the people of Shangjiang Brigade have gained some experience in greenhouse cultivation. After a winter, every household has made some money, more or less. Even a lazybones like Qiu Linghua made more than ten yuan, not to mention others.

Jiang Dacao was the most diligent. She had a lot of firewood at home, so the kang (a heated brick bed) burned well. She was also hardworking, specializing in growing scallions to sell. Because of their short growth cycle, she saved more than thirty yuan.

At this moment, she asked, "Xu Zhiqing, how should we plant these pearl-like plants? Where is the most suitable place to plant them?"

"This kind of herb is only available here right now. I found it in the mountains. The big hospitals in Yancheng will want it. We'll negotiate the purchase price with them. Let's see what you can do."

Plant it wherever there's spare space. This medicinal herb prefers warm, humid, and clean environments. Don't plant it near manure pits, as this will affect its growth.

"Oh, so you like cleanliness. Fine, I'll plant a circle around the vegetable garden." Qiu Linghua said, cracking open a handful of pumpkin seeds as she grabbed them. "You all heard that. This 'Jiangzhuxing' is a treasure here. It's only found here. If someone comes to buy it later, you'll have to ask for a high price."

“Yes, yes, that’s what I was thinking too, Xu Zhiqing, what do you think is a suitable price for us?” Xie Zaohua was overjoyed.

"Well, I can't really say. How about we sell it for three cents a pound?" Xu Qinghuan made up a number.

"Sanmao, so tall?" Ye Qiugui was shocked. She was a high-paid worker at the garment factory. Her husband didn't come to the meeting, but she did.

"Is three mao a high price? Then you guys name your own price." Since it concerned the people's wallets, Xu Qinghuan didn't dare to offer any suggestions.

Jiang Xingye saw this and found it somewhat amusing. He said, "Let's set the price at five cents a pound. Things are valued for their scarcity. We've just started planting, so we can set the price a bit higher first. In the future, other brigades will definitely follow our example and plant it too. At that time, we won't be able to dictate the price."

A hammer!
