Chapter 247: Chapter 247 Which Brick Factory

Ji Ying, who had transformed from her previously frail self, had directly confronted Zhao Juxiang.

Xu Nianhua quietly praised Ji Ying, feeling that Mom had improved a lot and was no longer like before, thinking she had to endure endlessly.

"Ji Ying, what you did just now was very good, it should have been like this earlier. People, kindness is good, but too much kindness, isn’t that an invitation for everyone to bully you?" Xiong Xihua was very affirming of Ji Ying’s actions today, then she said, "Even if you don’t mind being bullied, but you have to think about the children."

"Sister-in-law, you are right, I have come to understand," Ji Ying felt extremely relieved after confronting Zhao Juxiang just now, and she said, "Sister-in-law, it’s cold outside, let’s talk inside the house, don’t let the food get cold."

Zhao Juxiang returned home, so angered that she felt pain in her chest. How had Ji Ying, whom she had suppressed for over twenty years, suddenly changed?

How much money could Ji Ying possibly make in a month at the food factory?

Could it really be possible to earn so much money in just a few months? Enough to buy land?

Zhao Juxiang grumbled in her heart, feeling deeply unsettled.

"Mom, you’re back. Brother sent a message saying that sister-in-law has gone into labor and is going to have the baby," Xu Jiaojiao rushed over hastily, pulling Zhao Juxiang to leave immediately, terrified by the news.

"What? Isn’t it still a few days away?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Juxiang immediately forgot her anger and hurried back with Xu Jiaojiao to pack their things and rushed to the county town.

Xu Qinghe, along with Xu Song, Xu Nianhua, and Xu Nian’an went to the county.

Xu Qinghe and Xu Song were planning to buy bricks.

Nian’an was going to see his master, and Nianhua was going to clean the house in the county, which had not been lived in for a while, airing out things like the bedding.

"Nian’an, why didn’t the girl come with you?" Du Chang felt slightly disappointed upon seeing Nian’an alone.

Nian’an’s attention was all on the things he brought and did not notice the disappointment in his master’s eyes. He put the things on the table and said, "This is the crispy meat fried yesterday, my mom asked me to bring some over."

Ji Ying was particularly good at frying crispy meat, making it both crispy and delicious.

It was not only Pei Yicheng who loved it, but Du Chang also enjoyed it. With older age and weaker teeth, Du Chang would steam the crispy meat over and over until it became soft and mushy, sprinkled with some green onions, a flavor he particularly loved.

"Thank my mom for me," Du Chang said, looking at the two catties of crispy meat, feeling that having such a disciple was extremely fortunate and delightful, as he was brought treats every so often.

Before the New Year’s cured meats and smoked rabbit, flavored with chili peppers, tasted really good.

"Nian’an, I just saw your dad on the street," Ling Dong said as he returned from buying groceries and spotted Xu Nian’an.

"My dad did come to the county, we need to build a fence for the furniture factory, so he’s here to buy bricks," Nian’an replied.

The moment Nian’an’s words were out, Ling Dong immediately said, "You don’t need to look further, just go straight to Yicheng."

"Oh..."

Nian’an looked puzzledly towards Ling Dong.

Ling Dong hurriedly explained, "Last fall, Yicheng bought a brick factory. Though he didn’t buy it entirely, Yicheng has a lot of say there."

"Really?" Nian’an felt like his thoughts were being overturned again. He had thought Pei Yicheng must be wealthy, but now this seemed beyond just being ordinarily rich.

A brick factory was not just a small shop after all.

"By the way, which brick factory is it?" suddenly asked Nian’an.
