Era: Starting with the struggle to refuse being taken advantage of

Chapter 350 Ten Thousand Yuan Household!
Under Wang Yong's questioning gaze, Wang Chengpeng smiled and handed over the note, explaining:

"Since I've taken on the responsibilities of a technician at the factory, I should naturally provide some technical support to the factory as well."

"This is the technique I told you about before, the technique of brewing wine from beet pulp."

“I tried it out a bit, and while the wine I made can’t compare to those high-end wines, it’s definitely above average.”

"Even because the raw material for brewing is beet pulp, it has a sweetness that other wines don't have, making it very easy to drink."

"Most importantly, with this beet pulp brewing method, the leftover beet pulp in the factory will have a place to go, which is a great thing to turn waste into treasure!"

After guessing Wang Yong's purpose in seeking him out of the past, Wang Chengpeng naturally prepared something in return.

Since he can get positive feedback from Dapeng Sugar Factory indefinitely, he naturally wouldn't mind continuing to invest more.

With this beet pulp brewing method, the village's beets have been completely transformed from waste into a treasure, becoming a top-notch product.

If we continue to expand the planting scale next year and grow more sugar beets, the profits can at least double again.

Wang Yong naturally knew the importance of this beet pulp brewing method, so he immediately disregarded everything else and took it to examine it carefully.

However, he had never brewed wine before, and after watching for a long time, he still couldn't figure it out and didn't know whether the beet pulp brewing method was feasible or not.

Trusting Wang Chengpeng, he initially thought the beet pulp brewing method was feasible.

After all, anything made by Wang Chengpeng has never been wrong.

At the same time, Wang Yong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that it was fortunate he hadn't harbored any intention of embezzling Wang Chengpeng's credit, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to obtain such a good thing.

Wang Chengpeng is like a treasure trove that can never be fully explored. Only by building a good relationship with him can one ride the wave of great wealth and prosperity!

Thinking this, Wang Yong immediately stood up, bowed deeply to Wang Chengpeng, and said:
"Master, your beet pulp brewing method came at just the right time."

"Although some employees take the beet pulp home to use, there is still a lot left over that cannot be disposed of."

"After all, beets are not a staple food. Even if they are used to feed livestock, the factory workers' families don't use much of them."

"As you said, I dried all these beet pulps and stored them in the warehouse. Now they've really come in handy."

"If we don't get rid of them soon, these beet pulps will probably become just as difficult to handle as Dapeng white sugar."

While beet pulp can't be completely useless, using it as fuel or compost is simply not cost-effective; it's nowhere near as profitable as using it for brewing.

After expressing his gratitude, Wang Yong seemed to remember something, lowered his voice, and said to Wang Chengpeng:
"Master, is there anything about your beet pulp brewing method that I need to keep secret?"

"I will pay special attention to this and make sure to take all necessary confidentiality measures. I absolutely cannot let my master's secret recipe be learned by someone else for nothing."

Wang Chengpeng waved his hand dismissively and said nonchalantly:

"It's just a brewing method that I came up with casually, so there's really no need to keep it a secret."

"You can arrange it yourself. After I teach you the beet pulp brewing method, it will be the factory's product, and you can handle it yourself."

"As for the equipment fee, I've accepted it, but don't tell anyone."

"With this beet pulp brewing method, plus the ability to repair equipment, I doubt anyone would dare to say anything about the title of technician."

The technician's monthly salary of two hundred yuan is already enough to make people envious, not to mention Wang Chengpeng's exorbitant equipment costs.
It's hard to imagine what might happen; at the very least, he'll be labeled a bloodsucker of the village.

They don't care how much Wang Chengpeng has contributed to Dapeng Sugar Factory; they're only envious of how much he has gained.

The principle of not flaunting wealth applies in any era. Wang Chengpeng wasn't afraid, but he didn't want to cause trouble for his family, which was also a consideration when he brought out the beet pulp brewing method.

Patting his chest, Wang Yong smiled and assured him:
"Master, do you need to tell me this? I know what I'm doing."

"If this news gets out, I'll resign as factory manager without you even having to lift a finger!"

Wang Yong has made a solemn pledge regarding this matter.

However, he was confident because, as long as he didn't say anything, there was no way the investigation would trace it back to Wang Chengpeng.
After all, all the relevant personnel knew was that Wang Yong had withdrawn the money under the guise of equipment expenses, but they had no idea who the money was given to.

And the equipment in the factory is indeed there, fully justifying the equipment cost, and it shouldn't arouse suspicion from others.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Wang Chengpeng left with his briefcase.

No one could have imagined that his seemingly inconspicuous phone bag contained a huge sum of money that everyone would envy.

With his previous savings, even though Wang Chengpeng had never mistreated himself or his family, he had already achieved the status of a "ten-thousand-yuan household" in the first year of his rebirth.

……

Zhoujia Village, Shen Weijia.

Liu Yanran, who was secretly reading a math book, suddenly felt a sharp pain in her stomach and couldn't help but convulse.

His hands, gripped too tightly, even tore many pages of the math book.

Liu Yanran gasped for breath like someone about to drown, letting out an extremely weak sound:

"Father, I feel it's almost time. Quickly go and call the midwife!"

With her due date approaching, Liu Dongran stayed by Liu Yanran's side almost constantly.

However, in this life, Liu Yanran was not as bloated as in her previous life, and appeared extremely weak.

She lay on the bamboo couch, her bony shoulder blades pushing against her coarse cloth clothes, creating two sharp bulges, and her face looked shockingly haggard.

His sallow skin clung to his cheekbones, and his deep-set eyes resembled two dried-up wells. On his thin neck, his Adam's apple swayed up and down with each weak swallow, as if it might pierce the thin, translucent skin at any moment.

Liu Yanran's belly, however, was swollen and rounded to an almost bizarre degree, like an overly plump fruit hanging from a withered branch, constantly absorbing nutrients from its mother.

Unlike her previous life where she was treated well and waited on hand and foot, the Shen family would never treat this wretched woman who had ruined their family well. All the food and drink they provided was barely enough to keep Liu Yanran alive.

Yet, despite living in such a harsh environment, Liu Yanran's eyes were unusually bright, filled with resentment and venom, like those of a highly poisonous snake.

"Father, has Zhou Zhaodi's matter been resolved?" Just as Liu Dongran was about to leave, Liu Yanran's weak voice startled him, and he almost fell over because he lost his balance.

"Not yet... not yet, but preparations are complete, just one last step."

"I'll have a midwife I've arranged beforehand deliver your baby, and I guarantee she'll be your scapegoat without anyone knowing."

Liu Dongran's voice trembled slightly; even though he had already made up his mind, he was still somewhat afraid of this matter.

Looking at her daughter lying on the bed, Liu Dongran gritted her teeth and said again:
"Daughter, don't worry, I'm willing to go to any lengths for you."

“I’ll go call the midwife right now and bring Zhou Zhaodi over.”

Hearing that Liu Dongran had finally done as she had asked, and that she was about to break free from the cage that bound her, a light flashed in Liu Yanran's eyes. With her last ounce of strength, she shouted:
"Dad, thank you!"

"Men are unreliable; in the end, I still need to work hard myself."

"Don't worry, once I become successful, I will definitely take you and Mother to live a good life."

Although he knew this was most likely just empty promises from Liu Yanran, Liu Dongran still agreed.

What could he do? He was just a father to his daughter. Even though he knew that what he was about to do was wrong, he still had to help his daughter break free from her cage!
Thinking this, Liu Dongran quickly ran out.

Time waits for no one, and he doesn't have much time to waste here. He must make sure the case is airtight before the Shen family of three returns.

Since agreeing to contribute half of the work points earned this year to the village, the Shen family has gained the recognition of Zhoujia Village and settled down here, but this has also increased their living burden, forcing them to work in the village for a long time.

Even though it's already December, they are still busy making a living.

Seeing Liu Yanran's miserable appearance only fueled their motivation.

Although all of this stemmed from Shen Wei's affection for Liu Yanran and his marriage to her, this idea was not wrong.

If Liu Yanran hadn't been unfaithful, wanting both ways and trying to find someone to take over, the Shen family wouldn't have ended up in such a mess.

Especially when she slandered Wang Chengpeng at the end, Liu Yanran concealed the fact that Wang Chengpeng had never touched her, and tried to ignore the facts and fabricate a slander against Wang Chengpeng out of thin air.

Unexpectedly, Wang Chengpeng had been wary of her all along, holding deadly evidence in his hands, and ultimately sent her to receive the punishment she deserved.

However, the Shen family suffered a turbulent period as a result, with both members ending up in prison.

If Wang Chengpeng hadn't been unwilling to send Liu Yanran to her death and instead allowed her to end it all, Shen Wei and Kong Xiu would still be in jail.

Out of vigilance against Liu Yanran, a vicious woman, the three initially took turns staying at home to monitor her, in order to prevent her from doing anything underhanded.

Despite being under the surveillance of the Shen family, Liu Yanran seemed to have completely resigned herself to her fate and never entertained any thought of struggling.

As time went on, the Shen family eventually lowered their guard, assuming that they had tamed Liu Yanran.
Coupled with the pressures of life, they ultimately chose to focus their main energy on production, which gave the Liu family an opportunity to take advantage of them.

To ensure the smooth execution of the plan, Liu Dongran had already made arrangements with the midwife. This time, she simply went over to inform her that Liu Yanran was about to give birth before bringing the midwife over.

Seeing Liu Yanran lying on the bed struggling in pain, the midwife exclaimed:
"It seems she's about to give birth."

"Is the hot water ready? I'll help her deliver the baby right away."

"By the way, is Comrade Shen home?"

He enthusiastically brought over a bucket of water at the perfect temperature, and Liu Dongran explained, feigning anxiety:
"Comrade Shen is still working hard outside, and he probably won't be back for a while."

"Sister Liu, time is of the essence, my daughter's belly can't wait any longer, you'd better help deliver the baby quickly!"

Although Liu Dongran's words were somewhat far-fetched, they were still logical and did not arouse the midwife's suspicion.

After all, it had been some time since the Shen family arrived in Zhoujia Village, and most of the villagers knew about the Shen family's situation.

That's why the midwife quickly followed the procedure to help Liu Yanran give birth.

It has to be said that Liu Yanran's death in her previous life was entirely retribution she brought upon herself.

If she hadn't relied on the Wang family's favor and acted arrogantly ever since marrying into the Liu family, only thinking about eating and drinking without doing anything, how could she have died in childbirth due to her child's rapid development and her own obesity?

In rural areas during this era, even pregnant women cannot have an easy time; it is common for them to work until they give birth.

The situation is now completely different from before. The Shen family's food is not good, and they have no intention of serving Liu Yanran at all, which has led to her suffering from malnutrition.

It was precisely because of this that the King of Hell's originally perfectly placed soul-snatching chains loosened slightly, giving Liu Yanran a chance to catch her breath.

"Take a deep breath... push..."

Although the midwife had tried her best to help Liu Yanran give birth, the baby just wouldn't come out, and the two people in the room were sweating profusely with anxiety.

Wiping the sweat from her brow, the midwife quickly concluded that Liu Yanran was experiencing a difficult labor:
"No, this could endanger Comrade Liu's life. He must be taken to a clinic or hospital!"

However, Liu Dongran showed no surprise at Liu Yanran's difficult childbirth, as if it had been planned all along. He shouted loudly:
"Sister Liu, please go and call some people. The two of us can't carry my daughter to the clinic."

The midwife was clearly surprised. At this time, it should have been Liu Dongran who went to call for help, but instead, it was Liu Dongran who was calling for help.

Taking out the red envelope she had prepared beforehand, Liu Dongran anxiously handed it over, pleading:

"Sister Liu, please help me, please help this poor child."

"I have to keep an eye on her, otherwise I won't feel at ease!"

Seeing the generous red envelope in her hand, the midwife hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.

However, it was precisely the moment the midwife left the Shen family that Liu Dongran's hand was already on Liu Yanran's stomach.

This is a labor-inducing technique he learned in advance to deal with this situation, in order to ensure the baby's smooth delivery.

Seeing that no one was around, Liu Yanran finally put in real effort this time, and a moment later, the sound of a child crying could be heard inside the house.
