Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

It will slowly grow to more than 10,000 people and have a certain status in the field of machinery manufacturing.

However, things didn't go as planned. He had only set up a Jeep production line out of momentary interest, which attracted the attention of some people.

First, Jiang Hanyang was sent to take over Jiaodaokou Street, and then Geng Feiyan from the Geng family was arranged to take over the machinery factory.

Once he has control of the factory, no one else will be able to interfere with it.

For them, money is not the point. What use is money? What they want is power and the right to speak.

Owning a large factory with 10,000 employees is a resource, and in today's terms, it's the greatest resource.

Previously, collectively owned enterprises had at least 10 or 20 people, and at most a hundred or so. Hundreds of people were extremely rare.

Suddenly, the Limin Machinery Factory in Jiaodaokou Street expanded to 6000 people in just two or three years.

If they could barely make ends meet, that would be one thing; they went on to produce products such as lathes, small blast furnaces, washing machines, and air conditioners.

In the end, they actually managed to produce a Jeep.

It's worth noting that previously only the Modu Vehicle Factory had the capacity to produce Jeeps, but it only operated for a little over a year before discovering too many problems with the vehicles, leading to its closure and bankruptcy.

However, He Yuzhu actually led a team to modify and upgrade the original Type 58 Jeep, giving a doomed project a new lease on life.

In other words, the Geng family had enough influence in the district to decide to take action against the machinery factory immediately.

They turned it into a factory controlled by their own family.

Jiang Hui said urgently, "How can it not be? Not a penny of the profits that should be handed over to the collective will be missing."

He Yuzhu laughed and said, "Silly girl, you still can't do it. You can't judge things by appearances; you have to analyze them in depth."

"Hmph, you stinky pillar, stop talking nonsense in front of me, you're the stupid one."

Jiang Hui said angrily, "Weren't you called Sha Zhu before?"

He Yuzhu asked, "Then do you know why no one called anymore?"

Jiang Hui asked, still looking naive, "Why?"

"Because I spank everyone who calls me 'Silly Pillar'."

Before Jiang Hui could figure it out, He Yuzhu pulled her down onto the kang (a heated brick bed) and pinned her beneath him.

He Yuzhu raised his hand and slapped Jiang Hui's pert, round buttocks a few times.

"Are you going to tell me or not my idiot Zhu's name?"

Jiang Hui felt very wronged. She snorted, got up again, and looked at He Yuzhu with a resentful expression.

"You big bad guy, you were the one who called me stupid first."

"You simply don't understand many things."

"Don't try to fob me off with those words. What's wrong with having my sister-in-law manage the machinery factory?"

"I've been managing the machinery factory perfectly well, so why is your sister-in-law trying to take it from me?"

"You... that machinery factory isn't yours, it belongs to the collective."

"hehe!"

It seems Jiang Hui doesn't understand at all; she should talk to He Yuzhu about this topic when he comes.

After all, Jiang Hanyang is the future director of the subdistrict and has the authority to make various personnel arrangements for the machinery factory.

He Haizhu was not willing to hand over the machinery factory to them.

They have a right, but He Yuzhu has the right to overturn the table.

"What exactly do you want from me today?"

Jiang Hui asked, "Can you resume supplying food to the machinery factory?"

Why should I do this?

Jiang Hui gritted her teeth, threw herself into He Yuzhu's arms, buried her head in his neck, and said:

"You want my body, don't you? I can give it to you today."

Chapter 390 Stop fooling around, let me go.

He Zhu never expected Jiang Hui to say such a thing, that she would even use her body as a bargaining chip.

He Yuzhu had long since passed the stage of lusting after women.

Hearing Jiang Hui say this, he did not show any alarm.

Instead, he gently pushed Jiang Hui away from his embrace, his hands on her fragrant shoulders. By this time, her cheeks were burning hot, her face flushed, and she was extremely shy.

After all, it's the most embarrassing thing in the world for a young, unmarried woman to say the words of offering herself up.

"Did your brother send you?"

Jiang Hui shook her head shyly.

"Did your sister-in-law force you to do that?"

"Not at all."

He Yuzhu immediately assumed that his brother and sister-in-law had used their family ties to coerce and lure Jiang Hui into coming to him.

"Who sent you?"

“Nobody asked me to come, and besides, my brother and sister-in-law don’t know about our relationship.”

"You still don't know?"

“They really don’t know, no one forced me.”

Jiang Hui kept her head down, not daring to look at He Yuzhu, and only said shyly:

"I don't want to marry you. I can still be your woman in the future, as long as you help my brother solve his problems."

He Yuzhu shook his head and said, "I never threaten women, nor do I make deals with them. You've misjudged me."

Jiang Hui's face suddenly turned pale, and she looked up in surprise, not expecting He Yuzhu to refuse.

"you are not willing?"

"Yes, why should I agree?"

"you..."

Jiang Hui felt utterly ashamed and wished she could disappear into nowhere.

She had no shame and spoke of offering herself, but unexpectedly, He Yuzhu rejected her.

How can you still have the face to stay here?

Jiang Hui struggled to get off the kang (a heated brick bed) and walk back, never wanting to see He Yuzhu again.

How could I ever face him again?

But He Yuzhu was still holding her wrist, and she shouted, "Let me go, let me go."

"What if I don't let go?"

"you..."

Jiang Hui looked up and glared at her, saying, "You want to see me make a fool of myself? Go ahead and look! Anyway, I, Jiang Hui, have no face left in front of you! Look at me however you want."

After yelling, thinking about the painful memories, tears of grievance fell.

"Don't get so angry. Who's laughing at you? You're such a grown man, why are you still crying like that?"

"Who are you to me? What business is it of yours?" Jiang Hui said angrily.

He Yuzhu pulled her back a little, but Jiang Hui resisted.

He had no choice but to stretch out his arms, lift her up from the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), and hold her in his arms.

Jiang Hui cried silently, while He Yuzhu lowered his head and started eating soybeans.

"Stop messing around, let me go."

"Look at you, you're getting anxious again. I have something to tell you."

Jiang Hui snorted, took out a handkerchief to wipe the drool off her face, and the tears stopped flowing.

Although she didn't speak or struggle, she simply nestled in He Yuzhu's arms without mentioning leaving.

"Don't worry, the factory won't run out of food. Even if thousands of people are starving, the higher-ups will help solve the problem."

This matter is indeed a very troublesome one for Jiang Hanyang and Geng Feiyan.

After all, they couldn't have gotten that much food with their abilities.

But if this matter were to happen to the Geng family, it would be easily resolved.

The grain depot can provide a batch of grain in advance for emergency use.

Of course, they can only provide the planned food supplies; if we are frugal, there shouldn't be any major problems.

He Yuzhu wanted to create the illusion that when he was in charge, all the workers had extra food to eat.

However, after Geng Feiyan took over, there was only the original ration, and no extra food was provided.
