Switched Marriage The Coddled Little Wife novel Chapter 309

Chapter 309: Chapter 309: Trap

For two consecutive days, the village chief and the others could see the intent of those coming from the Old Food Factory.

However, they didn’t dare provoke another conflict; after all, people detained yesterday had not been released yet. If more were to be taken today?

At this rate of detaining people, in just a few days, even if the people from Old Food Factory didn’t cause trouble, the lack of workers would still affect production.

Lin Chuxia scanned the people present. While some workers lived inside the Xiyang Food Factory, there were still quite a few who were blocked at the factory gates.

The village chief was anxious about this, "How about I have Guo Dong lead the villagers to drive them away? Even if they get detained, they’re villagers from Qin Family Village. It wouldn’t affect the factory’s production."

"Don’t do it yet."

Lin Chuxia stopped him. Once a fight broke out, they would not be able to control the consequences.

If a bloody incident happened and it caused Xiyang to shut down for restructuring, they would fall right into their trap.

"We have some workers in the factory now; if they work overtime, the orders should not be affected."

"But this can’t go on," the village chief slapped his thigh. "You guys stay here and keep watch, I’ll go find the town leader."

Their Qin Family Village’s industries were registered with the town, and now that there was trouble, they needed leaders to solve it.

Lin Chuxia wasn’t as optimistic.

Though City Gate Police Station was part of Chengguan Town, since Chengguan Town was the central town of Ancheng County, the town leader didn’t hold much power in this small county area.

The village chief took the accountant with him, each on a bicycle, and headed straight for the town government.

The town government was not far from their village, and as they cycled fast, they arrived in a quarter of an hour.

The town leader’s office was in the last row of the courtyard. Village Chief Qin knocked on the door and entered upon hearing a voice inside.

Guo Zhenyi put down his pen as soon as he saw Village Chief Qin, "Mr. Qin, what brings you here today? Have a seat, and I’ll pour you some water. What’s with all the sweat?"

Village Chief Qin wiped his sweat, barely sat on the edge of the chair, and without catching his breath, "Mayor Guo, I have an urgent matter and need you to take charge."

"Oh? What’s the matter?"

Guo Zhenyi poured a glass of water for both him and the accountant.

The village chief hadn’t ridden a bike that fast in years. Taking a sip of water, he didn’t beat around the bush and relayed the events of the past two days in Qin Family Village to Guo Zhenyi.

He didn’t exaggerate, but he did subtly report Shi Wei and his group’s actions.

"There’s been such an incident?"

Guo Zhenyi had been out in the countryside these past few days. He had just happened to be in town today and this was the first he had heard of it.

"What’s the situation at the factory now? And have the other industries of Qin Family Village—like the chicken farm and the pig farm—been affected?"

"The chicken farm and pig farm haven’t had issues for the time being. They are only targeting Xiyang Food Factory, claiming Xiyang Food snatched their livelihoods. They say if they can’t eat, they won’t let Xiyang’s workers have peace either. They’re surrounding the factory, preventing workers from entering to work. Right now, Lin and Xiao Su are holding the line. We retained some workers in the factory yesterday, but if this continues, the factory’s production will surely be affected."

Guo Zhenyi nodded, "Alright, I got it. You go back first, I’ll deal with this matter immediately."
