Chapter 2146: Take Down a Notch

Qiao Mei told Xu Ba about her plan and Xu Ba’s opinion of Qiao Mei changed again. This woman in front of him was very ruthless and definitely not someone to be trifled with.
By right, Qiao Mei need not go to such lengths for such an issue. By coming up with such a plan and telling Xu Ba about it, it was meant to be a deliberate warning. She wanted him to know how far she could go. If he dared to let Li Gui down in the future, his ending would not be as simple as being sent to jail.
“I wonder if you can do what I’m saying?” Qiao Mei asked.
“Yes, wait for my news.” After saying that, Xu Ba went back to make arrangements.
Up until now, Qiao Mei had been quite satisfied with Xu Ba’s performance. Just now, she was also testing if Xu Ba would be on their side. Some people might just flatter them on the surface, but did not sincerely agree with what they did. Only if he was willing to be involved could Qiao Mei be sure of his sincerity.
If she kept someone who was not like-minded by her side, there was bound to be trouble in the future.
Recently, Qian’e had made it difficult for Ding Xiang and the others to do business. There were also customers who had come to Ding Xiang for compensation. Ding Xiang still had two babies at home to feed, so she needed to continue with the business in order to earn money. It did not matter to her even if she had to move to a different spot every day.
“You good-for-nothing! If you’re even remotely capable, why would you let your wife and children have such a difficult life? Your entire family is useless! The Zhao family is useless!”
“Look at how your relatives carry out the task! It didn’t even cause any ripples at all. My brother just called me and said that that man is still dating Li Gui! You’re such a piece of trash! Why did I fall for you back then!” Ding Xiang said angrily.
“I’ve already done whatever you want me to do. Am I the cause of all these? Don’t you know the real reason why this is happening to our family’s business?” Zhao Fei could not take it anymore and roared back at her angrily.
“How dare you throw a tantrum at me! Isn’t that all because your relatives are greedy! They keep asking me for money! I’m doing this for you! For your Zhao family! I bore you two children! Otherwise, your family lineage will stop at your generation! How dare you treat me like this now!” Ding Xiang said furiously.
Zhao Fei did not want to quarrel with Ding Xiang. Every year he was with Ding Xiang had been very tortuous for him. Ding Xiang would always scold him, insult him and sometimes even beat him up, but he had endured it all.
However, now that he had done things to let down Qiao Mei and Li Gui, and the Zhao family was also slandering Qiao Mei and Li Gui, he really felt bad about it.
Suddenly, there was a call. Ding Xiang picked up the phone and asked, “Who is it!”
“May I ask if this is the family who has been selling braised meat and popcorn by the roadside?” the man on the other end of the phone said.
“No, you called the wrong number,” Ding Xiang said with a guilty conscience.
“I was given this phone number. Do you know where they live? I have some business to discuss with them,” the man said.
Business? Their family’s business reputation was so bad now, but there were still people who wanted to do business with them?
“Oh! That’s my next-door neighbor. You can tell me what you need. They are not around now and they also don’t usually answer the phone. I’ll tell them when they come back,” Ding Xiang said with a smile.
The man told Ding Xiang about what he wanted and hung up the phone after that. Ding Xiang held on to the phone and was in a daze for a long time. She hugged her notebook excitedly and shouted, “Zhao Fei! Zhao Fei, come quickly! Our family is going to be rich!”
“What’s making you so excited?” Zhao Fei asked curiously.
“Do you know what the person who called just now said? He wants to work with us to set up a factory! He will pay for everything and we just need to provide the manpower. We will even get 20% of the profits!” Ding Xiang said excitedly.
“How can there be such a good thing? Maybe he’s a scammer!” Zhao Fei said warily.
“Pfft, pfft, pfft! You’re such a jinx! If you talk nonsense again, I’ll rip your tongue out!” Ding Xiang said angrily.
Zhao Fei did not say anything else. Nowadays, Ding Xiang did not allow him to interfere in the family’s business. Ding Xiang was the one who made all the decisions. He was currently working part-time elsewhere, doing manual labor to supplement the family income.
That man said that his name was Zou Cheng and that he was a merchant from another city. He wanted to start his own factory in the capital, but he only had money and no skills. This was why he had come to look for Ding Xiang and her family.
