"Xiao Lian, we might be in trouble."
"Huh?" Cao Xiaolian was wiping the table when she heard this. She immediately stopped what she was doing. "What's wrong, Sister Chen? Tell me everything in detail."
Chen Lifen sighed and said, "I only found out this morning. I went to pay my respects to the leaders this morning and heard that there was a plague in several villages nearby. Many animals died."
"What was that?" Cao Xiaoling was stunned. "It can't be a duck, right?"
"Chicken and ducks." Chen Lifen said seriously, "I don't know who is spreading the rumor that our clothes were made from the same batch of duck feathers as yesterday's. Those that went to the mall to return the goods are now missing sales."
"That's impossible." Cao Xiaoliu frowned, "Plague is only now. Our down jacket already entered the mall two months ago. It doesn't matter at all."
"Rumors are everywhere, who cares about those." Chen Lifen smiled bitterly, "Since we went to the shopping mall two months ago, we have rarely produced more down the line. Firstly, we have to take a leave of absence to go back home, and secondly, we still have some duck feathers left. We should also buy more at the shopping mall, I'm afraid we will need to sell them next year."
Cao Xiaolian realized that someone was trying to harm them.
It had only been half a year since she had taken over the clothing factory, but it had caused this factory, which was on the verge of failing, to once again become popular.
He was not afraid of thieves stealing, but rather worried about them missing out on something. Now that the factory business was doing well, there would definitely be people who were unwilling to give up and were causing a ruckus behind the scenes.
But who could it be?
Cao Xiaoling did not know what to say. She asked Chen Lifen, "Sister Chen, there was news of the plague in the countryside. How did it spread?"
"It seems like there is a farmer's house with more than 200 chickens and 100 ducks. When I woke up in the morning, I found that both chickens and ducks were dead."
"This one?"
Chen Lifen sighed, "It's not just this one, but all kinds of rumors are spread out. Besides, it's just the people's own panic right now. The agricultural sector hasn't been investigated yet."
"AHH!" Cao Xiaolian stood up angrily, "We haven't investigated. This is just a rumor."
"There's nothing we can do. Xiao Lian, there's a call to the agricultural sector, but no one answered. It just happened to be the Spring Festival, and no one came to resolve it. That's why this matter is growing."
Chen Lifen was feeling depressed herself as well. If someone were to encounter such a situation, it would be as if they were fighting against someone from their side.
When this year came out, her heart immediately lit up. "Xiao Lian, tell me, could it be that someone is trying to interfere with our plan?"
"It's not that I'm afraid, it should be."
Cao Xiaoliu said resolutely, "Even if there really is a plague, who can think about it? Besides, it has only been a few days since the incident and it has already expanded so much. I don't believe it at all."
The timing was too good, so good that it was hard for people to not be suspicious.
"I knew it!" Chen Lifen said angrily, "I think it was those people from the blended blends factory."
"Huh?" Cao Xiaolian did not expect Chen Lifen to say, "Why?"
"Think about it, they had originally tried to bribe Old Tao with his despicable deeds. However, they went bankrupt on their own accord, so they must still be thinking about it in their hearts." This is definitely their case. "
Cao Xiaoliu waved her hand, "I don't think it's that simple. The polythene garment factory has already closed down. Even if they destroy us, they won't be able to take it anymore."
At that time, the compensation problem of the polyamide clothes factory had been completely wiped out. If he didn't work in the industry, he wouldn't be able to come up with such a large sum of money in a short period of time.
In the end, the two decided to stay put and wait for the seventh day of the new year before going to work in the agricultural sector.
However, he didn't expect that the matter would escalate like this.
It was just the fourth day of the third grade when a call from Chen Lifen arrived.
"Oh no Xiao Lian, an old man from the nursing home that we donated the down coat to died due to the flu. Now, the family has brought the coffin to our factory, saying that if we don't give them an explanation, we must set up the mourning hall here."
"Alright, Sis Chen, don't be in such a hurry. I'll go over right now. You stay steady first."
Cao Xiaolian hung up the phone, grabbed her down jacket and ran out. After thinking for a while, she came back and told Cao Ma, who had changed her clothes, "Mom, you go see Aunt Tian yourself. I have something to do at the factory, so I need to hurry over."
Mother Cao saw her daughter panicking and hurriedly said, "It's nothing, hurry up and go do what you need to. There's a car going directly to the village right in front of our house, it's very convenient."
"Alright, I'll be going then." Following that was the sound of the door being slammed shut.
Along the way, Cao Xiaolian was burning with anxiety. She had a feeling that this was not something that could be solved easily.
When they arrived at the factory, sure enough, there were a few wreaths and a huge crimson coffin in the middle of the empty space. A few people were talking, including Chen Lifen.
Seeing Cao Xiao's arrival, one of the middle-aged women rushed forward as if she had gone mad. She grabbed her collar and wailed, "You unscrupulous merchant, return my father to him for my father."
Cao Xiaolian was stunned and tried to release her. "Let go of him first. If you have anything to say, we can talk about it later."
"How can you even talk about it!" The woman's eyes turned red with anger. "My dad wore your factory's down jacket, and he died of a cold when he took it."
"That's right. You used the feathers of a plague duck to make your clothes, and even sold them at a high price to others to earn some dark money. Now that a human life has occurred, you all must take responsibility."
Cao Xiaolian's head was spinning.
She had truly underestimated him. She hadn't expected him to have other tricks up his sleeve.
Chen Lifen hurried over to persuade her. "Sister, please let go of me. If you have anything to say, just say it. We still don't know what happened, and we can't allow this to happen to us."
"Ouch, I don't want to live anymore!" The woman suddenly let go of Cao Xiaolian and sat down on the ground, crying. "My dad died because of the black-hearted businessman, and now they still have to go back on their word. There is no justice in this world!"
Although it was a holiday, there were still passersby. Hearing this, all of them stopped and looked around. Soon, it was filled with people.
Cao Xiaolian felt a pang in her heart but due to the situation, she had no choice but to help the woman up. "Big Sis, don't take it to heart. I …"
"Pah!"
The sudden slap on Cao Xiaolan's face made her see stars. She couldn't react for a long time.
"Hey, how can you hit someone!"
Chen Lifen went up and grabbed the woman's hand, "Let me tell you, we can tolerate you not because we are in the wrong, but because we pity you for the sake of your father's life. If you make a scene here, I can call the police right now."
"Call the police! Call the police!" She was extremely arrogant. "I even wanted the police to come and take a look. I wanted to see if you guys would care or not since you guys killed them."
Cao Xiao Lian covered her face, her eyes could kill, but she did not say anything.
Today's humiliation, she had remembered it. When she found out who the mastermind was, she would definitely repay this slap a hundred times, a thousand times over.
But now was not the time.
"Big Sis, what do you think?" Cao Xiaolian advised, "The agricultural sector is not working right now. There are still three days left. Please send the old mister's body back to the funeral home. I will pay the full cost of these three days." After work, after their investigation, if I had used sick duck feathers, I would have taken all the responsibility. If I am of no use, then please let the old man rest in peace as soon as possible. "
The woman wanted to continue making trouble, but everyone nodded their heads and praised the method.
Seeing that the woman did not agree, a busybody even shouted, "That little girl is right. Now, you still don't know anything, yet you push it onto her. Isn't that too arbitrary?"
"Yeah, but they might be here to blackmail him. Then they wouldn't dare to agree."
Public opinion was like this. One second it was a sharp arrow that pierced you, and the next it turned into a sharp blade that could fight the enemy in your hands.
"Alright!" "I will wait for you for three days, but my dad's illness definitely has something to do with your factory. I'm not afraid of you, I believe in the people's government. After the results come out in three days, I'll see what you can say."
Cao Xiaolian smiled as she apologized and expressed her condolences, watching them leave.
The liveliness had disappeared, and the spectators had also dispersed.
Cao Xiaolian looked at Chen Lifen with a cold face and said seriously, "Sister Chen, I think there is a problem behind this."
"AHH!" Chen Lifen was surprised at first, but quickly reacted. She stuttered, "It can't be, you're the clubhouse. Was this incident caused by the polythene clothing factory as well?"
"Even now, you still think that it's because of brocade?" Cao Xiaoliu smiled bitterly, "If it was only that one time, it would have been possible. But now that someone's life has been lost, I don't think Jin Nubis would dare to do so."
Chen Lifen was also silent.
The shopping mall was like a battlefield, but it also had its own rules. Nylon definitely wouldn't dare to casually play around with human lives, and once it was infected by human lives, Cao Xiaoling's clothing factory would become completely useless.
The reason for doing business was to seek money, so Cao Xiaolan was even more certain that this matter was not handled by Jin Nu.
Who could it be?
She could not figure out who was so capable that would actually target her without sparing any energy to deal with her.
Because he was worried about something, he was also a bit annoyed when he returned home.
"Xiao Lian, come back and pull it." As soon as she entered, she saw Old Mrs. Cao holding the phone in her hand. She pouted and said, "Your call, quick!"
Cao Xiaolian was a bit confused, but she still went over and picked up the phone.
"Xiao Lian!" The voice on the other end of the line was as lively as ever: "I'm alive! It's a little princess! "
"Sister He Qing!" Cao Xiaolian was overjoyed by the news and exclaimed happily, "Aiya, I haven't called you yet. Why are you out of the hospital so early?"
"It's not early yet, it'll be born when I go over there."
Coincidentally, He Qing did not do anything at the beginning, and even after the expected delivery, there was still no movement. Both parents felt that this pregnancy was very bad, and He Qing's mother was worried that she would not even be able to sleep. However, they didn't expect that after only three hours of labor and labor, the nurses would be surprised that the first child would be so successful. It was a rare occurrence.
"Dad and I were still talking. I think the child really likes you, and couldn't wait to come out the moment he heard your voice. If I knew earlier, I would have called you earlier."
"The child's name is Yueyue. It's so nice to listen to." Cao Xiaolian was also very happy, as if the little guy was right in front of her. "Sister He Qing, take a photo of the child and send it to me."
He Qing giggled, "Alright, I was going to ask her to call you mother."
