Qin Wen looked at his wife and couldn’t help but remind her, "Be modest in front of my elder brother and sister-in-law. After all, they are my own siblings, and we still need to rely on their support for family matters. Later, when they argue with the fourth son’s wife, you should go and mediate. As his brother and uncle, we should also care more about them. Let bygones be bygones, we can’t just stop talking forever."
"I know, I know," Ma Suyun replied impatiently.
She was beaten before and still needed to admit her fault?
But thinking about the corn stalks in the family fields that needed harvesting soon, she could only swallow her pride.
"Oh, right, don’t go out to the fields these days. With the village being so chaotic, just rest at home for a couple of days," Qin Wen hinted.
"I know."
Ma Suyun didn’t want to go to the fields either. With the village being so lively, even if she couldn’t go and see for herself, just listening was satisfying.

When Lin Chuxia found Sun Hao, he was just about to go out to find her.
"I heard something happened at Xiyang Food Factory, did many people from the Old Food Factory cause trouble? What’s the situation now?"
"I came to you about this. Initially, both sides were deadlocked. The Old Food Factory’s employees surrounded Xiyang Food Factory, preventing our workers from entering to work. I sent someone to call the police, but before the police arrived, both groups had started pushing each other. Later, the police officers came and took a few people away, and the rest ran off."
Lin Chuxia briefly explained the situation to Sun Hao.
"Did you find out anything? What’s the background of Shi Wei? Is he connected to any leaders of the Old Food Factory?"
This is the most direct possibility and the easiest one to resolve.
"Why do you think it’s Shi Wei?"
"The police who came to Xiyang Food Factory today were led by Shi Wei," Lin Chuxia replied directly.
The most critical point was that, after the police arrived, the people from the Old Food Factory became even more agitated. Even when the people from Xiyang stopped, they continued to attack, which is illogical unless they had some backing.
Sun Hao shook his head, "It might be more complicated. Shi Wei doesn’t have that much power and courage. I didn’t find out all the specifics here, but I know that someone’s backing the Old Food Factory, and today’s incident was premeditated. The Old Food Factory employees came to Xiyang Food Factory with two goals: to prevent the factory workers from entering, and if that failed, to incite conflict. Once the police were called, the outcome was as you see now," only the staff of Xiyang Food Factory were detained.
Their goal was simply to stop the production of Xiyang Food Factory. If Xiyang Food Factory couldn’t fulfill the contracts on time, it would definitely affect their partnerships, giving the Old Food Factory another chance.
If the conflict escalated causing casualties, that would really blow things up.
The incident happened right at the entrance of Xiyang Food Factory. Whether it was the leaders of Xiyang Food Factory or the factory as a whole, how could they dissociate themselves from this?
A temporary closure for reorganization would plunge the Xiyang Food Factory into an irretrievable downfall.
Upon hearing this, Lin Chuxia’s expression became more and more serious.
She had already thought of the worst consequences, and what made her even more solemn was that the situation was developing towards the worst possibility. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
Shi Wei’s boldness had already been anticipated by her, possibly involving higher level influence.
As a senior state-owned enterprise in Ancheng County, the Old Food Factory had deep roots. Whether it was Liu Guoyi’s previous connections or his winning over of people’s hearts, it was not something that the current Xiyang Food Factory could compete with.
