Shocking! My Rugged Husband is the Hidden Tycoon in the 70s Novel-Chapter 346: Shangjiang

Jiang Baohua actually felt quite relieved, but he was also quite scared, "Look at you, at your age, getting into a fight with someone? If you’re going to fight, can’t you do it where it can’t be seen? You had to make it so obvious, half of your hair is gone, anyone can tell you hit someone.

You, what can I say about you, living for more than half your life and still not getting any smarter."

Jiang Xinglan couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Jiang Xingmei happened to return for lunch, "What are you worried about? Isn’t that old hag still relying on our sister-in-law to treat that idiot’s leg? Would she dare to report you? Give it a couple of days, even if she reports it, it would be useless.

Besides, it didn’t cause any major harm, do you think the police station has so much free time to deal with these kinds of lawsuits every day?"

She scooped a bowl of corn mush, grabbed a pancake and said while eating, "It’s a shame I missed it, if I had been there, I would have hit that old witch too..."

Bam!

She got a knock on her head.

Zhou Guizhi said, "Eat your food, young girl, mind your tongue. Watch out or someone will hear you. The Zhao Family asked someone to come by a few days ago, said they want to take care of your matters after the New Year, in the first month."

Jiang Xingmei was so startled she dropped her pancake, "What are they talking about, taking care of what, what matters?"

Recently, she was so caught up in making money that she got confused, plus Zhao Jianjun was a degenerate in her eyes, she had already unilaterally broken off the engagement with Zhao Jianjun, and if he hadn’t come to show his face, she would have forgotten all about him.

"What matters do you think? When you find time, take that piece of red cloth and make yourself a new outfit."

"No, I will not marry! I’d rather die than marry into the Zhao Family."

As soon as Jiang Xingmei spoke, everyone was stunned. Zhou Guizhi, already in a bad mood, yelled, "What nonsense are you talking about? You won’t marry, why won’t you marry?"

"Why? Just because he’s been fooling around with that educated youth named Dongmei. Isn’t he planning to marry that educated youth, so why hasn’t he come to break off the engagement yet?"

Jiang Xingmei was a bit frustrated too; she had thought of how to handle this matter, but the other side changed their strategy, wasn’t this just disgusting her?

Zhou Guizhi was shocked, "What? What did you say, when did this happen, Zhao Jianjun and the educated youths from their team? How do you know?"

"It’s something everyone in Anguang County knows about, you didn’t know, how’s that my fault?"

Perhaps because she had been spending too much time with Xu Qinghuan, now her way of speaking inadvertently imitated Xu Qinghuan.

"This bastard!" Zhou Guizhi was so angry that she started swearing, not caring that the old man and woman were still there, feeling quite aggrieved, "What is going on, why do my sons always meet such characters!"

Jiang Xingmei was rather upbeat about it, "What’s the big deal? When you meet a dog, just take a detour. Besides, what was our family’s situation before compared to now? Previously, being able to marry into a team accountant seemed like a good match.

In the future, don’t find me any partners, for now, I’m not looking. I plan to study further."

"Study? What are you going to study? How old are you, not finding a man to marry, you still want to study? Before, when we asked you to study, you didn’t study properly, now it’s time to get married, and you tell me you want to study."

Zhou Guizhi was so angry that her liver hurt, but Jiang Xingmei obviously didn’t care about her feelings, "Fine, you can look in the Shangjiang Team, don’t even think about looking in other teams, I don’t want to push myself into a fire pit just to get married."

Zhou Guizhi was choked up, indeed, now in the whole commune, apart from the Shangjiang Team, other teams can barely even find enough to eat.

The commune’s food factory was up and running, sales were also very good, but the scale was limited, and the grain from the teams was consumed slowly, within a few months, it surely couldn’t be consumed completely.

Now every team leader was queuing at the food factory, afraid that the next batch of grain consumption would be grabbed by other teams. In the bitter cold, they dared not leave even for a moment.

With nothing settled, Jiang Xingmei didn’t bother to worry about it, knowing that whether it was dating or finally getting married, her approval was necessary.

She didn’t want to stay in the countryside anymore.

If there were college entrance exams in the future, she was determined to try and get out, so she was secretly studying. With Xu Qinghuan, the genius there, if she didn’t seize the opportunity, she’d regret it for a lifetime.

Jiang Xingye came over, and Zhou Guizhi initially wanted to tell him about Zhao Jianjun’s betrayal of his sister, but hearing he was there for serious business with Uncle, she shut her mouth.

"The weaving machine ordered by the textile factory is ready. I’ve asked them to come to collect the equipment. Do you want to see it? We charged three thousand for this weaving machine, it works very well, it’s a collaboration between the production team and the county’s large factory, your leaders will be present, and we will hold a little ceremony."

Jiang Baohua had just arrived at the factory, and Cao Congjun was there, the two leaders shook hands upon meeting.

"Oh, nowadays I hear a lot of people ask about my collaboration with your factory. I’m really worried, since you postponed our weaving machine plan for the commune’s food factory, I’m afraid you might take other big orders and delay our weaving machine again."

"Heard? Heard from whom? We haven’t announced anything to the public!" Jiang Xingye asked.

"Ah? You didn’t know? Your Shangjiang Team was featured in ’Huaguo Daily’, the front-page story was about your team and the educated youths creating brilliance together. The article not only mentioned you came up with the harvester and threshing machine but also reported on your Four Sisters clothing brand."

Now, the Four Sisters clothing brand gained a bit of fame in Anguang, Shen City, and Yan City after Xu Qinghuan launched that small calendar.

Coupled with the report from ’Huaguo Daily’, it became a sensation across the country.

Cao Congjun’s visit was twofold: to collect the weaving machine in person, to see its performance firsthand, and to discuss the factory venture with the Four Sisters Clothing Factory.

As for the weaving machine, it was Jiang Xingye who developed it, crafted the components, and assembled it. He was quite adept at operating it—this automatic weaving machine produced very fine textiles, with a comfortable touch. Compared to the fabrics on the market, in terms of both quality and color, the difference was clear.

Cao Congjun immediately saw that once the machine was put into production, they would never worry about meeting production tasks, and their fabrics would sell very well.

"Our Four Sisters Clothing Factory must be given priority access to the fabrics." Jiang Xingye said, "In the future, when we research Jacquard looms, we will also consider giving priority access to your factory."

Cao Congjun certainly wouldn’t disagree.

Jiang Xingye took out a pre-prepared contract, and the two parties signed and stamped it on the spot.

Immediately afterward, Cao Congjun proposed their idea, "By collaborating with us, sourcing fabrics directly from our factory, you could save at least thirty percent. We could provide you with facilities, staff in the county town, and through us, you could apply for funding."

But Jiang Xingye turned him down, "We just want to do a bit of small-scale production, allowing the female members of the production team to earn more money, we haven’t thought about anything else."

Cao Congjun felt quite unwilling, but he also knew this kind of thing takes time, and couldn’t be achieved in one go.

The automatic weaving machine was at least ten times faster than the current machines used in the textile factory, importantly, the width of the fabric could be adjusted, ranging from 1.2 meters to 2.8 meters.

After handing over this weaving machine, Shangjiang Machinery Design and Manufacturing Factory in the commune also got officially established.

Meanwhile, following Xu Qinghuan’s suggestion, the furniture factory was renamed Shangjiang Furniture Factory.

Afterward, apart from the Four Sisters Clothing Factory, other factories like the threshing machine factory also included "Shangjiang" in their names.
