Chapter 591: Do You Have Objections Too?

~4 min read 762 words

This farce ended abruptly after the party secretary called for people to pull the two apart.

Naturally, Liu Quanwen knew that even if they continued making a scene, the wolf skin would still belong to Liu Shanliang, while his own family would become the target of everyone's anger, which was not worth it.

If Shanliang's son-in-law found out they were pulling such stunts, he feared it would implicate his own son, who was little better than a matrilocal son-in-law; he wasn't afraid of anything else, but that daughter-in-law who never let a grievance go would surely not spare them.

After the couple left in disgrace, the party secretary turned to the onlookers and asked, "Do you have any objections too?"

Seeing the party secretary's expression, everyone scattered at once, shouting, "No objections!"

That was a wolf; if it hadn't been for Shanliang's son-in-law's excellent skills, not to mention wolf meat or wolf skin, even Ge's youngest son would likely have been buried in the wolf's belly; it was what he deserved, and no amount of envy could change that.

Liu Chuxue did not know that a whole incident had erupted over a single wolf.

At this moment, she was following Sister Jiang and Mi Aijun, watching the purchased goods being loaded onto a truck bound for the train station; during this time, she also took advantage of the opportunity to buy quite a bit of mountain produce, which would be shipped back to Beijing City along with the truck.

It could be said that this trip to Harbin was truly full of gains.

After the logistics procurement items were loaded onto the approved train car, Wang Changzheng, as the team leader, also arrived at the station with the others: "Sister Jiang, have you bought the train tickets?"

Sister Jiang smiled and took the tickets out of her bag: "Departure in one hour."

Wang Changzheng looked around: "Then let's go eat at the state-run restaurant not far from the station first."

Everyone had no objections; as they walked out, Sister Jiang said, "Engineer Wang, when we left, Zhang, the clerk from the factory, sent over a net bag of fruit, saying it was for us to eat on the journey."

Wang Changzheng knew about this; Deputy Factory Director Guo had mentioned it over the phone: "It's the factory's gesture of goodwill; just accept it."

On this trip, he not only helped them repair that malfunctioning machine but also casually checked all the problematic machines, doing the factory a huge favor.

Since he himself had gained a benefit, everyone else should get to sip some soup too, right?

Deputy Factory Director Guo had said he had mailed some specialty products over; by the time they returned to Beijing, the goods should have arrived, and naturally, everyone who went on the business trip would receive a share.

It wasn't yet mealtime, so the state-run restaurant wasn't very crowded, but there were customers like them who had come in early to eat before catching their train; they ordered one meat dish and one vegetable dish, plus a bowl of noodles for each person; except for Liu Chuxue, everyone else ordered the large bowl, including Sister Jiang.

With few people, the food was served quickly.

Mi Aijun finished the last sip of soup from his bowl: "Engineer Wang, we can stay in Changchun for at most two days; how long do you need? Should we arrive in Shenyang ahead of time and wait, or go together?"

Wang Changzheng slowly took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth: "This factory just imported a machine from Germany and invited us over to help assemble it; if all goes smoothly, two days will be enough."

Actually, this trip to the Northeast was primarily for this new machine; later, Harbin happened to call for help, so the itinerary was added on temporarily.

Seeing that the time was about right, the group headed for the train station; the timing was perfect, as they entered just as the announcement for ticket checking sounded.

Perhaps everyone was tired from these past few days, and with food in their bellies, not long after boarding, they all fell asleep one by one.

Fortunately, it was daytime; thieves hadn't yet become so brazen as to strike in broad daylight.

When Liu Chuxue woke up, the train had already entered Changchun territory; taking advantage of the fact that the restroom hadn't been closed yet, she quickly got up and went to the restroom, and as soon as she entered, she slipped into the space.
