Chapter 70: Jiaojiao is spoiled by the rough man

Upon hearing Su Wanwan say this, her mother Zhao Ying quickly put down her chopsticks and even reached out to gently touch Su Wanwan's arm that was leaning against her side, as if she was afraid that she would go out.

"Well, it's nothing actually, just a little... a small thing. It may be gone in a few days." Mother Zhao Ying said with some embarrassment.

"What little thing?" Su Wanwan asked.

"It's just... the village started to spread the word this afternoon, saying... that the factory you and your father opened might not be able to succeed, and they were kidding me."

Hearing her mother Zhao Ying's somewhat embarrassed words, Su Wanwan wanted to laugh on the spot.

"Don't worry, Wanwan. Mom has already told them about it for you. Those people have never seen much of the world, so it's normal for them to be a little worried. Mom definitely believes in your father and you."

After saying the first sentence, Zhao Ying quickly added the next one, fearing that Su Wanwan would do something irrational because of these words.

"What did they say?"

Su Wanwan thought of what Zhong Qingqing and the other said when they came over in the afternoon, and frowned slightly.

His expression didn't change much.

"What else can I say? Your incense factory doesn't have any of the machines and tools that a factory should have, nor any materials. It's just a few shabby houses, without even a decent stool. Even the stove is a makeshift one. It doesn't look like a factory at all. What's wrong with people questioning it?"

Jiang Panhua, who was standing diagonally to the side, suddenly rolled her eyes and said.

"Just eat well. No one will think you are dumb if you don't speak!" The third brother Su Di scolded immediately.

"Oh, didn't I explain this to them? All the machines and materials will arrive in two days at most." Su Wanwan disagreed.

"Why should people believe you? What if you don't have anything to show for us and just play tricks on us? Won't we all be fools?" Jiang Panhua, who had been scolded by Su Di, lowered her voice this time, but her answer could still be heard clearly by everyone in the hall.

So there is no meat in the dishes tonight because they are afraid that someone outside will suddenly break in?

Mother Zhao Ying's stern eyes fell on Jiang Panhua's face for the first time. This time she didn't say anything, and Su Wanwan also fell silent for a rare moment.

"So that's what it means." Su Wanwan murmured.

"It's okay, Wanwan, you don't have to pay attention to them. These people have never seen the world. Since you and your father have promised, then mother will absolutely believe you." The mother slowed down her voice and picked up some food for Su Wanwan as she spoke.

However, Su Wanwan silently stood up from the stool and walked slowly towards the door.

"Where are you going so late, Wanwan?" Mother Zhao Ying asked from behind.

Su Wanwan shook her head lightly and did not respond.

Walking all the way from the Su family's hall to the front door, a distance of about twenty or thirty steps, Su Wanwan had already silently made up her mind.

"Su Wanwan!"

Just as she reached the gate of the Su family, Su Wanwan was called by her full name by the young man who was walking towards her.

She slowly raised her head and made eye contact with the young woman in front of her.

She remembered this face, which seemed to have appeared near the factory at noon.

"What's wrong?" Su Wanwan replied.

"You said at noon that the factory would be open anytime, but until now, your factory doesn't look like a factory at all. You just tidied up those shabby houses."

The voice of the young woman who was walking towards them became louder and louder. Many young men who were waiting nearby quickly gathered around the two of them, and they all cast their eyes on Su Wanwan's face.

Expecting a response from her.

However, Su Wanwan didn't know how long it would take Xu Yan to go out and purchase.

She just had confidence in her heart and knew that Xu Yan could definitely do it.

"So what? So you don't believe that I can run this factory?" Su Wanwan said calmly.

"How can I trust you if you can't even produce something decent? And you called so many of us from the production team to the west end of the village at noon, so we didn't even have a good rest during our lunch break. You have to give me some explanation, right?"

Su Wanwan couldn't understand it. At noon, the attitudes of the young people in the village were quite good, and many of them even dreamed of working in the factory during the winter. But in just one afternoon, everyone's attitude changed so much.

"Didn't I already tell you about your problem at noon? Who told you this?"

Su Wanwan didn't believe that these young people would gather here in so many people for no reason just to ask her for an explanation.

There must be someone behind this.

"Don't worry about who told us. Just give us an accurate explanation and we will leave immediately!" The leading female youth's tone was still very firm.

"I've already said everything I could say at noon. Just wait two more days at most and everyone who should arrive will arrive. If they haven't arrived by then, why don't you come find me later?" Su Wanwan said as she walked towards the west end of the village.

In the pitch-black night, many young men followed Su Wanwan not too far away, and from time to time a few of them took the lead in speaking.

"If we haven't seen the things in the factory by then, you will still tell us to keep waiting! Are you going to fool the villagers like this? I heard that some factories in the town only recruit workers after they have the equipment and the site. How dare you let everyone in our village revolve around you like this!"

Hearing the young woman who was walking loudly behind her questioning her like this, Su Wanwan chose to remain silent.

That was all she could say.

"It's not a good idea for us to do this. After all, the village party secretary and the village head have agreed to build this factory in our village. Since the village agrees, then the higher-ups must have agreed as well. I think this factory can be built sooner or later." A young man with a low voice in the crowd reminded weakly.

"So what? Don't you know who her father is? Don't you know the relationship between our Party Secretary Wang and the village chief? How many of the things they said are really for ordinary people like us?"

The young woman in front responded loudly to the young man who gave the weak reminder.

Amid the questions and arguments of the crowd, Su Wanwan walked to the outside of the several dilapidated houses that had just been cleaned up.

"Why did you bring us here?"

Seeing Su Wanwan walk to the outside of a few houses and then stop, she moved a bench and sat down at the door. Several young men were puzzled.

"I've told you everything I can say. Now I'll sit here and wait for the machines and materials needed by the factory to arrive, then I'll go home." Gusts of cold wind blew on Su Wanwan's face, making her shiver a little. If she had known, she should have brought an extra coat when she walked out of the house just now.

I don’t know if my parents will give her some clothes…

It’s not that she particularly wanted to wait here for Xu Yan to come back. After all, it was already so late today, and Xu Yan would probably not come back until tomorrow at the earliest.
