Chapter 793

"Look at you all, grinning like that, what does it look like?"

The old branch secretary raised his hand and pointed at them one by one.

"Yuling is watching from behind. You didn't come to help, you didn't come to bow or burn incense, and now you want to eat and drink for free at her funeral? Aren't you afraid she'll come looking for you tonight?"

"Yuling!"

At this moment, Hua Zhuazi shouted. Everyone looked up and saw him burning incense for Su Yuling.

"Open your eyes wide and look at who came to your funeral to eat and drink for free. In front of Boss Zhou, you're smearing our village's reputation. Come looking for them tonight, you bunch of shameless things, take them all down with you."

Hearing Hua Zhuazi's words, those who wanted to eat and drink for free had their faces turn black, and they were indeed a bit scared.

Stealing a glance at the funeral tent, plus the old branch secretary's prestige in the village, a woman carrying a child turned and left.

Where there was a first, there was a second, and some were cursing, resenting Hua Zhuazi for meddling, saying it wasn't his money anyway.

But no matter how they cursed, they didn't dare to stay, because they were truly afraid that Su Yuling would come looking for them tonight.

The militia leader smiled and gave Hua Zhuazi a thumbs up: "Uncle Hua, it has to be you."

Hua Zhuazi proudly raised his head: "To deal with them, you have to ask Yuling to come forward, otherwise it won't work."

The old branch secretary smiled: "Alright, let's eat."

While they were eating, a motorcade consisting of seven cars stopped at the entrance of the village.

A young man got out of the first car, wearing glasses, looking very refined.

"Ma'am, do you know where Yuan Xizhang's house is?"

An old woman sitting under a tree cooling off looked at the young man, grinned with her toothless mouth, pointed into the village, and said somewhat indistinctly.

"Walk this way, turn right at the end, then turn left at the second alley and walk straight. There's a jujube tree at his gate, very easy to find."

"Thank you!" The young man thanked her and turned to get back in the car.

At this moment, Jian Qiu was walking around the courtyard holding the child. The little one's big eyes were darting around, staring at a few swallows flying in the sky.

"Su Su!" Yuan Mei came out of the room, holding a popsicle, and touched it against the little one's mouth.

The little one licked it with her tongue, smacked her lips, waved her little hands hard, and was babbling something.

"Hahahaha..."

Yuan Mei laughed out loud: "Sister-in-law, the little one is so fun."

As she spoke, she put the popsicle against the child's mouth again.

At this moment, Zhou Andong's third aunt, Yuan Mei's mother Gao Chunxia, came out of the room. Seeing Yuan Mei feeding the child a popsicle, she walked over quickly and snatched it away.

"The child is so young, you're feeding her a popsicle; what if she gets a stomachache?"

Yuan Mei said dissatisfiedly: "I'm just teasing her, I didn't really feed her."

"That won't do either!" Gao Chunxia took a bite of the popsicle, "You're three months pregnant, you need to be careful too."

Yuan Mei looked lifeless: "Sister-in-law, you see? I'm pregnant, I just want to eat something cool, and she won't let me. Everyone says I don't want to come back, but besides the long road, it's because my mom manages everything, it's so annoying."

Jian Qiu chuckled, just about to speak, when she saw several cars stop at the gate.

Yuan Mei was stunned: "They must be looking for my brother."

"Bang, bang, bang..."

A series of dull car door sounds rang out. Jian Qiu saw Meng Huaizhi appear at the gate and couldn't help but sigh; he had actually chased them all the way home.

"Mayor Meng, welcome!"

Jian Qiu held the child in one hand and shook hands with Meng Huaizhi with the other.

Meng Huaizhi laughed out loud: "Chairman Jian, sorry to bother you, I hope you don't mind."

As he spoke, he introduced Zhao Jin to Jian Qiu: "This is our Secretary!"

"Secretary Zhao, hello!" Jian Qiu shook hands with Zhao Jin again, "It's so hot, don't stand at the gate, come inside and talk."

A large group of people came, and everyone in the room came out; they were all women, not a single man, which made Meng Huaizhi and Zhao Jin feel a bit strange.

Entering the room, the space, which wasn't small, became crowded with more than a dozen people.

Meng Huaizhi saw Old Zhou sitting on the kang at a glance and reached out his hand with a smile: "Comrade Xiaoxin, we meet again."

Old Zhou hurriedly reached out to shake hands with Meng Huaizhi: "Mayor Meng, hello!"

Meng Huaizhi introduced Old Zhou and Zhao Jin to each other, and the two shook hands politely.

Jian Qiu said to Yuan Ying: "Go call your brother back and say Mayor Meng from Qishi is here."

"Alright!" Yuan Ying walked out quickly.

Zhou Andong had just finished eating when he saw Yuan Ying running over.

"Brother, Mayor Meng from Qishi is here."

Yuan Ying's words made the courtyard fall silent. They knew Zhou Andong was rich, but they were just envious and had no other thoughts.

But now, the shock in their hearts was simply beyond words.

In their eyes, a county magistrate was already an incredible official, but they didn't expect a mayor of a city to come here to see Zhou Andong.

At this moment, Zhou Andong seemed a bit unfathomable to them.

Zhou Andong sighed; he didn't expect Meng Huaizhi to chase them so quickly.

"Old Uncle Guan, I'll go back and see. If anything comes up, come to the house to call me."

"Alright!" The old branch secretary looked at Zhou Andong's departing back with a worried face.

If Zhou Andong was persuaded to invest in Qishi, Zhenxing Village might lose its chance.

Yuan Hai, Yuan Tao, and Chen Yuan looked at each other, thought for a moment, and then stood up to follow Zhou Andong, wanting to go back and watch the fun.

Zhou Andong had been pondering that Meng Huaizhi wouldn't give up until he reached his goal, but he had no projects to invest in Qishi.

The beverage OEM factories were all in Harbin, and he wasn't interested in the enterprises in Qishi, which made him a bit troubled.

Then he thought of the brewery, but if he set up a branch in Qishi, that would be too disrespectful to Harbin Beer.

You have to know that Harbin Beer was the earliest beer manufacturer in China, the earliest beer brand, and the fifth-largest beer brewing enterprise in the country.

Setting up a brewery in someone's backyard wasn't impossible, but it was too early now; it wasn't the right time.

Zhou Andong was thinking all the way, not noticing Yuan Hai and the others following behind.

Meng Huaizhi and Zhao Jin had been watching out the window. Seeing Zhou Andong enter the courtyard, the two stood up and went out to greet him.

Zhou Andong gave a wry smile inwardly. This person putting his posture so low really put him on the spot.

"Leader, you're being so polite now that you're at my house; it makes me feel uneasy."

Meng Huaizhi laughed out loud: "Chairman Zhou, you're wrong. I'm the parent official here. Although this is your grandmother's home, in my eyes, you're a guest when you come here."

"Meng Huaizhi, how can you be so shameless?" A mocking voice suddenly came from the door, "Arhorqin Banner doesn't belong to your Qishi."
