Volume 2 [416] A Good Daughter-in-Law
【416】Good daughter-in-law
The village committee members were all taken aback. "You can lend money? This...this is millions!"
Xu Xiaoya said, "It's nothing. The company I work for specializes in investment, and there are a lot of funds coming and going every day."
The militia platoon leader said, "Will your boss agree to this? There's no interest, and we don't even know when it will be repaid."
Xu Xiaoya said, "Zhao Qiang said he would warn him, and he dared not disagree." After saying that, Xu Xiaoya smiled and glanced at Zhao Qiang.
Zhao Qiang said, "Yes, he definitely has to agree, otherwise I'll beat him up."
Zhao Weidong asked, "How much can I borrow?"
Xu Xiaoya asked, "Is five million enough?"
The accountant nodded repeatedly: "Five million is definitely enough, we won't need it."
Xu Xiaoya said, "We'll use the remaining money to set up a brick factory. Once the sand is mined out, we'll fence off all the wasteland and turn the sand pits into fish ponds. Raising fish will bring in another big income."
Zhao Weidong slammed his hand on the table and said, "That's right, that's what we're thinking too, to make full use of every resource."
Xu Xiaoya said, "Uncle, you can just sell the fish to our company at a lower price later."
Zhao Weidong said happily, "No problem, I'll give you several tons for free."
Zhao Qiang naturally understood why Xu Xiaoya had put the loan on her shoulders – she wanted to increase her leverage in front of his parents. Judging from his father's expression, he knew that Xu Xiaoya was very fond of him.
The accountant picked up the wine bottle and poured wine for Xu Xiaoya, saying, "Come on, Xiao Xu has solved a big problem for us. All of us in the village committee want to toast you. You must drink this wine, Xiao Qiang. You can't stop us. This is our way of showing our appreciation."
Xu Xiaoya glanced at Zhao Qiang, who said, "Have a drink. We're not driving tonight, so let's not spoil the fun."
Xu Xiaoya nodded and let the accountant refill her glass. Zhao Weidong picked up his glass and said, "If this can be done, our whole village will thank you, Miss Xu."
Xu Xiaoya was a little embarrassed. "Uncle, you're exaggerating. This is really no big deal."
Zhao Weidong said, "No, it's not a big deal for you, but it's a big deal for our Shantou Village."
Xu Xiaoya blushed slightly. After thinking for a moment, she said, "How about this, Uncle? I'll persuade the company's CEO to donate another five million yuan to the village free of charge. First, we'll pave all the roads in the village, and then we'll focus on building village facilities, including healthcare and recreation."
The accountant picked at his ear: "Did I hear that right? A donation without compensation?"
Zhao Weidong was also surprised: "Five million?" Everyone discussed among themselves.
Xu Xiaoya asked Zhao Qiang in a low voice, "You're not angry that I did this, are you?"
Zhao Qiang patted her thigh and said, “This is great. It wasn’t appropriate for me to get involved in this matter, and my parents will definitely accept you as their daughter-in-law because of this. It’s a win-win situation.”
Xu Xiaoya said smugly, "My real goal is to get your parents' approval. If you bring other girls back, your parents will definitely help me, so you'd better watch out."
Zhao Weidong asked Xu Xiaoya, "Miss Xu, do you think this can work? Otherwise, we wouldn't dare to announce it to the villagers."
Xu Xiaoya picked up the women's bag from the sofa next to her and then directly signed two cash checks. With the amount of cash in Jiayuan Investment, even a check for 100 million yuan could be cashed. With daily income of tens of billions, it would really infuriate PetroChina and Sinopec. Moreover, the weight loss tea sold later was calculated in US dollars, which multiplied the amount several times. It can be said that even if Zhao Qiang did nothing, he could burn money every day until he was eighty years old.
"Uncle, one of the five million is a loan to the village committee, and the other five million is a donation. However, I need to see the plan for every expenditure. It can only be used after I have signed it. Is that alright?" Xu Xiaoya handed the check to Zhao Weidong. Although he was Zhao Qiang's father, Xu Xiaoya's personality made it impossible for him to waste money. She would not agree to any unreasonable use of the funds.
Zhao Weidong solemnly agreed, and holding up the check, he asked the accountant, "Is this ten million?"
The accountant put on his glasses and examined it carefully: "It should be fine, but we'll have to check again at the bank tomorrow. However, your daughter-in-law wouldn't joke with you, so I'm sure it's true. Old Zhao, you're really amazing; your daughter-in-law is so capable."
Zhao Weidong became somewhat worried: "Xiao Xu, won't the company disagree with what you're doing? Don't let your boss say anything about this, or we can't afford to take responsibility if it affects your work."
Xu Xiaoya said, "No, Uncle, our boss is afraid of Zhao Qiang."
The accountant asked Xu Xiaoya, "Xiao Xu, what does your father do?"
Xu Xiaoya said, "Vice Mayor of Donghai City."
"Oh," everyone suddenly realized. No wonder he was so generous and not afraid of his boss. It turned out that his father was a high-ranking official. In the eyes of the villagers, the deputy mayor was practically an emperor. In fact, these people did not know that the mayor had to listen to Zhao Qiang.
The accountant slammed his hand on the table and said, "Old Zhao, this deal is definitely going to work out. You should really thank your daughter-in-law."
Zhao Weidong raised a glass of wine and said, "Young Miss Xu, I am your elder, but I still want to toast you with this glass. You have done a great thing for our village."
Could Xu Xiaoya refuse? She had to drink. Her father-in-law was toasting her, and if she didn't, she would be a bad daughter-in-law, and Zhao Qiang would complain about her. So Xu Xiaoya downed the glass.
The accountant said, "Xiao Xu, you should toast your father-in-law back."
Xu Xiaoya thought it would be impolite not to return the toast, so she personally poured Zhao Weidong another drink. The two drank another cup, and Zhao Weidong was overjoyed. His son had achieved success in his career, found a beautiful and capable wife, and now he had regained face in the village. Who in the village would dare to oppose him becoming the village chief and party secretary in the future?
Everyone else raised their glasses, "Miss Xu, we toast you..."
Two hours later, Xu Xiaoya asked Zhao Qiang somewhat nervously, "Won't this mess on my first formal visit to your in-laws' house ruin my image in your parents' eyes?" A bunch of people were lying on the ground, Zhao Tiancheng had already left, and the younger members of the village committee were all drunk, including Zhao Weidong, while Xu Xiaoya was not even half drunk.
Zhao Qiang's facial muscles ached from laughing. These grown men were toasting Xu Xiaoya one after another, and in the end, they just wanted to get her drunk. They didn't expect that they would get drunk first. "No, don't worry, they will only admire you."
Liu Huilan and several aunties came in to carry the person away. Liu Huilan patted Zhao Weidong's head and said, "You shameless old man, you insisted on drinking with Xiao Xu. Now you know there are always people better than you."
Xu Xiaoya hid behind Zhao Qiang, feeling embarrassed. She wondered if Zhao Qiang's parents would think she was too unruly and could drink so much, which didn't seem like the standard for a good girl. However, Zhao Qiang seemed fine and even happy, which reassured Xu Xiaoya a little.
As for the plan to collect the money tonight, it fell through. The villagers knew that the accountant was drinking at the village chief's house, so they went home on their own initiative. Anyway, the money was kept at the village committee and wouldn't run away.
The women were helping their husbands home when Xu Xiaoya gave each of them a share of the cigarettes and alcohol she had brought. The women felt embarrassed, saying, "Oh dear, how can we do this? You came to eat and drink and now you're taking some home with you."
Xu Xiaoya said, "Take it. This is a token of our appreciation from Zhao Qiang and me."
So everyone accepted it with a smile. As the wives of the village leaders, they knew the value of these wines and cigarettes, which were definitely worth more than two thousand yuan. This was considered a gift and welfare from the village chief, after all, he had been busy all year.
Zhao Qiang pushed open his bedroom door. It had already been cleaned up. Because there was no heating in the house and the air conditioner was only in the living room, Zhao Qiang's room was a bit cold. However, Liu Huilan had prepared a small electric heater in the morning, and there was also an electric blanket on the bed. When he touched the blanket, it was warm.
Xu Xiaoya took off her shoes and got into bed. "I can't take a shower tonight, and it's so cold, I don't even want to wash my feet or brush my teeth."
Zhao Qiang said, "Just make do for now. Tomorrow we'll go to Dongyang and rent a hotel so you can take as much showers as you want."
Liu Huilan called from outside the door, "Xiaoqiang, let Xiaoya sleep in your room tonight, and you can sleep at your grandpa's."
Zhao Qiang said, "Okay, Mom. You should get some rest. You've been busy all night. I'll be leaving soon."
Xu Xiaoya jumped out of bed and hugged Zhao Qiang tightly, saying, "Xiaoqiang, I won't let you sleep outside."
Zhao Qiang chuckled: "My mom won't allow it. We're not married yet. We can do whatever we want outside, but it wouldn't look good if outsiders saw us at home."
Xu Xiaoya said coquettishly, "I don't care. It's an unfamiliar place, and if you're not by my side, I'm afraid I'll have insomnia."
Zhao Qiang said, "What's so unfamiliar about this place? This is where I grew up."
Xu Xiaoya gently licked Zhao Qiang's ear: "Have you ever thought about doing something with your beloved girl in this room?"
Zhao Qiang's voice trembled slightly: "I thought about it. Back then, I was young and impetuous, and I had all sorts of fantasies."
"Don't you want to make it happen?" Xu Xiaoya hugged Zhao Qiang and fell onto the bed. Her breath carried the scent of alcohol, and Zhao Qiang was completely intoxicated. His hands involuntarily reached for Xu Xiaoya's breasts, those full breasts were his favorite.
Liu Huilan was a little anxious outside the room, but she couldn't force her way into her son's room. In the end, she could only sigh and go back to her room. Children grow up and are no longer under their mother's control. Anyway, it was so late and no one would see. Let them be.
"You're worrying unnecessarily," Zhao Weidong mumbled to Liu Huilan as he groggily listened.
Liu Huilan said, "It's because I'm afraid of what the villagers will say."
Zhao Weidong said, "Let them talk. Anyway, I think Xiaoya is a very good girl. If Xiaoqiang dares to wrong her, I will break his legs."
Liu Huilan laughed and scolded, "You've been bribed."
Zhao Weidong said, "You should be content to have such a good daughter-in-law."
Early in the morning, Zhao Qiang took a walk around the village. The changes in the village were actually a way of telling the villagers that he had slept at his grandfather's house last night. There was no other way; Zhao Qiang also had to consider his parents' feelings.
The village looks much cleaner and tidier, which indicates that everyone's living standards have improved recently; otherwise, they wouldn't have the mind to pursue a more civilized lifestyle. However, the village still appears rather dilapidated. It would be great if it could be completely renovated. It seems that the five million yuan investment needs to be carefully planned. We can't just arbitrarily rebuild on the old site; we need to gradually relocate the villagers out of the old village. This matter cannot be rushed, otherwise it could easily lead to a situation like the chemical plant demolition last time.

[417] Senior Brother's Difficulties
His mother was making breakfast in the kitchen. Zhao Qiang, seeing that no one was paying attention, pushed open the bedroom door and went in. Xu Xiaoya was huddled under the covers with only her eyes showing. When she saw Zhao Qiang, she giggled and asked, "Honey, is it cold outside?"
Zhao Qiang rubbed his hands together and said, "It's very cold."
Xu Xiaoya spread out a corner of the quilt and said, "Come in and warm up. You know it's cold, but you still insist on going out for a stroll."
Zhao Qiang chuckled without answering. Xu Xiaoya grabbed his hand and placed it on her chest. Her full breasts felt warm. Zhao Qiang quickly withdrew his hand and said, "They're too cold. Don't let them chill you."
Xu Xiaoya wouldn't let go and pulled Zhao Qiang's hand back, saying, "I'm not afraid, let me warm your hands."
Zhao Qiang was very touched. "Silly girl, don't use these to warm my hands. If they get too cold, how will my son nurse? Use your bottom instead."
Xu Xiaoya still held onto Zhao Qiang's hand tightly: "You're so annoying, talking nonsense. Be careful your parents hear you."
Zhao Qiang said, "Get dressed, my mom will be making breakfast soon."
Xu Xiaoya said, "Okay, you put it on for me. You were the one who stripped me naked last night, so now I have to punish you by making you put it on."
When the two left the bedroom, Zhao Weidong and Zhao Tiancheng were already waiting at the dining table. Zhao Weidong was a little embarrassed, "Xiaoya, you must have laughed at me last night. I didn't expect you to be such a heroine when it comes to drinking. All of us men combined couldn't outdrink you."
Xu Xiaoya's face flushed: "Uncle, I didn't know I had such a high alcohol tolerance. Maybe I'm just happy to be here, so I haven't gotten drunk." Xu Xiaoya didn't dare let her future father-in-law know that she had an amazing alcohol tolerance. Who knew if Zhao Weidong would have any ideas about her? You know, Zhao Qiang has many girls to choose from now on. If the old man had any objections to her, it would give other people a chance.
Zhao Tiancheng said, "Yes, I'm happy. This will be your home from now on. You have to come back for the New Year, otherwise it won't be lively at home."
Xu Xiaoya said to Zhao Qiang, "Grandpa said I should come back for the New Year, so you have to take me with you."
Zhao Qiang knew that his family had been completely won over by Xu Xiaoya. If he brought her back for the New Year, he wouldn't have time to see Su Xiaosu. It seemed there was no other way.
After breakfast, Zhao Weidong asked his son, "When are we going back to Donghai?"
Zhao Qiang said, "Tomorrow or the day after, we'd like to go to Dongyang City today. There's a senior brother there we want to visit."
Zhao Weidong said, "Okay, let me know in advance if you can go home tonight."
Xu Xiaoya drove and arrived in Dongyang city in no time. This time, Zhao Qiang didn't dare to drive himself. He really didn't want to cause any more trouble. Fortunately, this time he drove safely straight to the municipal government. A car of this caliber would not be stopped. The gatekeeper let him through all the way to the front of the municipal government office building.
Xu Xiaoya called Shan Hongfei. "Senior brother, it's me, Xiaoya."
