Chapter 135 Being targeted
"Oh, Daddy! Oh! Ah!"
These lines and actions frightened the father-in-law Hou Wei so much that he was so nervous that beads of sweat almost appeared on his forehead.
Seeing his son-in-law Hou Jie acting like this, he knew that this guy was trying to blackmail him.
The father-in-law trembled as he took out a dollar from his fingers, thought about it and added another dollar. He handed a total of two dollars to his son-in-law, feeling very distressed.
Hou Jie reached out and quickly grabbed it.
“It doesn’t hurt at all!”
After receiving the money, Hou Jie's attitude changed immediately. He tossed the three dollars in his hand back and forth, looking relaxed and comfortable.
The good father-in-law was very angry, but there was nothing he could do. He dared not to provoke his son-in-law again, fearing that he would do something weird and plot against him again.
Seeing his father-in-law's aggrieved look, Hou Jie lost the desire to tease him and said to him, "Okay! I'll forgive you this time, but don't do this again next time."
Mu Chunhua, who was watching the fight, couldn't stand it any longer. She patted her husband on the back and said angrily, "You! Stop teasing Dad. You are so frivolous all day long. You just show off."
After that, she took the three samples from Hou Jie and handed them to her father. The father-in-law took them happily and was very grateful to his daughter Mu Chunhua.
He felt that the daughter who loved him before had returned.
The father-in-law couldn't help but glare at his son-in-law again, lamenting that he had been fooled by him again.
"Why didn't I see at the beginning that this boy was so cunning. I thought he was a fool who didn't know how to live, but I didn't expect that the clown was me."
The father-in-law turned around and snorted at his son-in-law. He quickly stuffed the money into his pocket and ran away.
Hou Jie spread his hands helplessly and shook his head indifferently.
His action was immediately met with a cold eye from his wife Mu Chunhua. Hou Jie felt instantly embarrassed and touched his nose helplessly.
Hou Jie and his wife arrived at the vegetable market early in the morning.
The young couple were drinking tea and chatting in the study, while the daughter-in-law was working, knitting a sweater. She was such a hardworking woman, she never stopped for a moment.
Hou Jie picked up the music book and studied quietly. His wife would refill her husband's tea from time to time, and the couple lived in peace and quiet.
Zhang Dalong came in a hurry to visit and entered the study. He saw his sister-in-law was also there. He seemed to be hesitant to speak, as if he wanted to say something but didn't dare to.
Hou Jie said unhappily, "Speak up! Your sister-in-law is not an outsider. What can't you say?"
Mu Chunhua was filled with gratitude. Just as she was about to get up and leave, Hou Jie pushed her back down again, so she had no choice but to sit aside and continue knitting.
Zhang Dalong then spoke up, "Boss, we are having trouble buying land. Everything went smoothly, but when we went to the government office to handle the transfer, we ran into trouble. All the good relationships we had before are now invalid."
Hou Jie understood, "I understand. These guys are all big dragons who are trying to extort money. Go and withdraw 50 yuan. Try to talk to them and save as much as you can. If it's not enough, just come back and withdraw more. Our main goal now is to spend money. Time is short. It's safer to spend all the money as soon as possible. Spend money when you need to. Don't be reluctant."
"Da Long, proceed according to the plan. Once the land is purchased, immediately start recruiting people to build a factory, purchase equipment, and recruit employees for training. Contact more with old people like Master Lei, they know a lot and are familiar with the city. After all, we are young and may not be able to control some things. In addition to secretly setting aside funds for activities, spend money vigorously. I want you to get everything on the right track within three months."
Zhang Dalong nodded and said, "Okay, Boss. I will try my best to do it."
Seeing that Zhang Dalong still looked upset, Hou Jie asked again
"Is there anything else?"
Zhang Dalong's eyes flickered as he kindly reminded.
"Boss, we've been targeted recently, you and sister-in-law have to be more careful."
"Don't worry! It's normal to be targeted. After all, we are now rich dogs and money-spending boys. Everyone wants to get benefits from us, this is nothing! Dalong, you people should also be more vigilant and arrange more personal protection."
"Okay boss, I'm awake."
"Oh, Dalong, I have a batch of equipment at a German company. Remember to follow up. Once the equipment arrives, notify me immediately. I estimate that it will take more than a month for it to arrive. It's quite expensive, so you have to be careful!"
Zhang Dalong nodded in agreement and quickly wrote a few strokes on a small notebook, marking the key points.
Suddenly Hou Jie remembered something and asked curiously, "By the way, Dalong, how is the matter between you and Miss Baofeng going?
When suddenly asked about marriage, Zhang Dalong said shyly in a low voice, "It's OK! It's going well. Both parents have met. We will get married after June."
"You're a good kid, you're pretty quick."
Mu Chunhua, who was standing next to them, officially participated in their conversation for the first time. She had only overheard their conversation by chance in the previous few times, and it was sporadic. She only knew that her husband's business was very big and there were many things to do, but she didn't know much about it. Now she realized that there were so many risks involved, and she couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Until I heard my husband asking about my bestie's marriage, my eyes lit up and I was very excited. I was relieved to hear the good news.
Zhang Dalong reported some events during this period. Hou Jie had a general understanding of it and after making some plans in his mind, he sent him back to work.
Mu Chunhua waited for Zhang Dalong to leave, then pondered for a while. She couldn't help but worry and asked, "Honey, is something big going to happen recently?"
Hou Jie had no choice but to confess his thoughts and slightly change his words.
"I received the news. After various analyses and deductions, I figured out that the Nationalist government might not be able to survive. In the next two years or so, the Nationalist government will collapse. By then, the city will be in chaos for a while. You should be mentally prepared."
Mu Chunhua opened her mouth in surprise. She never expected this conclusion. She was just an ordinary person, so her vision could not compare with that of a big shot. She was very flustered when she heard her husband's analysis. But she felt relieved when she saw her husband's calm and capable appearance.
Mu Chunhua thought for a while and smiled at Hou Jie. "That's how it is! Anyway, I don't understand these things, just make the arrangements. I trust you."
Hou Jie was helpless, "Silly woman, you trust me so much. I'm a little panicked!"
Hou Jie thought about what he had done and was afraid that it would be exposed. His scalp was numb. If the two women met, they would tear him apart.
As the saying goes, you can’t hide your love for one person, but if you love two people, you have to hide it well.
I regret it now! After drinking half a catty of wine, I realized that I can't drink much. It's too late to say anything.
Alcohol is a poison that penetrates the intestines, and sex is a steel knife that scrapes the bones. The ancients were right.
Hou Jie advised Mu Chunhua how to avoid risks.
"Wife, be more careful next time. Don't go anywhere without me. Just ask me to do the shopping. You can come here more often when you have time. I'm here all the time anyway. There are a lot of guards here. It's very safe. I've already made arrangements."
Mu Chunhua knew that her husband was doing this for her own good, so she nodded heavily, feeling relieved. "Okay, husband."
