Chapter 191: The tiger fell to the ground and was bullied by the dog
After Lin Chen left the yard, he came to the Lou family as a guest. Wang Chao and Ma Han used a tricycle to pull the last batch of ointments... and sent them to the Lou family pharmacy.
Tan took Lou Xiao'e to the kitchen to teach her how to cook...
"You're getting older and older, and you need to learn the basics of cooking and washing clothes. Mom and dad can't follow you forever..." Tan began to teach her daughter step by step.
In the past, Lou Xiao'e was unwilling to learn these things. She would rather buy them than make them herself...
And Lou Zhenhua didn't want his precious daughter to go into the kitchen, so he just let Lou Xiao'e do as she pleased.
However, since Lou Xiao'e met Liu Lan, her thoughts have completely changed. It turns out that Brother Lin Chen likes girls with dexterity. So I have to lay a good foundation, and I will let Brother Lin Chen teach me how to cook in the future.
The main thing is to enjoy the process of learning skills...it is much more interesting than learning to cook from my mom.
"Mom, don't worry, I will study hard. From now on, I can wash my clothes by myself, you don't have to help me..."
Tan looked at her daughter with joy. She found that she had grown up and become sensible... She could feel more at ease in the future. Otherwise, what would she do if she became clumsy in the future?
"Well, the current situation is different from before. It is no longer fashionable to hire maids to serve you, so you have to learn many things yourself... In the future, you won't be despised by your in-laws after you get married."
After hearing this, Lou Xiaoe looked at her mother and smiled: "Why don't I just find someone without parents-in-law? That way, no one will bully me, and no one will despise me..."
Tan chuckled and shook her head. Young people will suffer in the future if they live without their parents-in-law. It will be even more difficult if there is no one to take care of the children.
"Mom, can you please stop laughing and just say it?"
"Okay, okay, I'll let you take care of your child in the future, right? But what if your son-in-law thinks you're stupid?"
Lou Xiao'e giggled: "Thank you, Mom! Your uncle won't despise me... Our family has plenty of money, so he will definitely treat me well."
Lou Xiao'e thought that her brother Lin Chen had so many women... His expenses must be high, and the thing her family lacked the least was money. Her dowry would be enough for him to support thirty or fifty women...

In the study
Lou Zhenhua and Lin Chen sipped tea while discussing the next plan.
"Uncle Lou, after these ointments are delivered, I will provide you with a kind of Panax notoginseng anti-inflammatory and analgesic powder. This is also a good thing and is urgently needed on the front line. In the future, the Lou family will also be included in the list of merits in defeating the American empire... The title of patriotic businessman and red businessman is not bad."
Lou Zhenhua nodded with satisfaction after hearing this...
"The best Panax notoginseng is not cheap. Uncle has prepared some funds for you. We can't let the Lou family just take the benefits and let you work in vain... Go to Wangfujing Yunjin Clothing Store tonight and I'll wait for you there."
Lou Zhenhua only knew that Lin Chen had made friends with many leaders over the past year with his medical skills...
The network of contacts is also very wide. A large number of senior leaders who have experienced the baptism of war have more or less some problems... Climbing snow-capped mountains and crossing grasslands is not so easy.
So it's not surprising that Lin Chen can get the raw materials...
Lin Chen knew that the other party should have prepared small yellow croakers for him, so he looked towards the Lou family's Yunjin clothing shop. Sure enough, there were hundreds of small yellow croakers and some valuables ready...
"Well, I haven't paid off the debt for the Chuanqiong ointment last time. It will cost a lot of money to get the good Panax notoginseng this time. I'll go and pick it up at 8 o'clock in the evening."
"That's right. As long as the Lou family can get in touch with the higher-ups, these are just small amounts of money... the steel mill can donate them, let alone these little things. It's best to get a tricycle when you come. Don't let other people know that you came here in person."
Lin Chen nodded to show that he understood... Then the two talked about the Xu family again. Lin Chen wanted to figure out one thing - why did Lou Xiao'e marry Xu Damao?
Lou Zhenhua did not hide anything from Lin Chen and told him everything about the previous generation...
"Xu Wude's father used to work for my old man. The Lou family's success naturally involved some shameful things... This guy actually secretly wrote them down. Everything was fine. It wasn't until the establishment of the new society two years ago that Xu Wude became bolder... He actually got the account book..."
Lin Chen nodded slightly after hearing this. In the past, the Lou family had a hundred ways to kill the Xu family...
It’s different now. The Lou family is already a tiger without claws and teeth... they won’t dare to do anything even if he blackmails them.
"Uncle Lou, why don't you spend some money and ask the desperado for help?"
Lou Zhenhua shook his head: "The things were hidden by Xu Wude! He said that as long as the Xu family got into trouble, someone would hand the things over to the organization. Your aunt and I don't want to take risks... It's better to spend a little money to shut them up. If there had been no change a few years ago, I would have killed them..."
After hearing this, Lin Chen also understood the current situation of the Lou family. The situation is different now... A tiger in troubled times is bullied by a dog. Rich people don't want to perish together with the poor.
"Uncle Lou, let me think of a solution!"
Lou Zhenhua told Lin Chen that this was also his intention. Otherwise, he would have trouble sleeping and eating...
"Ok!"
……
Lunch time
Jia Zhang returned to Zhanggezhuang crying.
As a result, Boss Zhang saw that his aunt came back empty-handed to ask for help... and he didn't even ask his wife to notify his cousins to come and receive them.
"Don't cry, little aunt. Don't worry, if anyone dares to bully our Zhang family, they won't want to live anymore. I'll gather Hammerhead and the others, and we'll go to the Ma family to avenge you."
At this moment, Jia Zhang felt the power of her family. If she had known that things would turn out like this... she shouldn't have cut off contact with her brothers earlier...
"Hey, hurry up and go... Today we will tear down the Ma family, and I will smash their pots as well."
Boss Zhang exchanged a glance with his wife, then stood up and left.
It’s true that he looked for his cousins, but he didn’t drag them to fight... Instead, he notified them all to go out and hide.
For more than ten years, Jia Zhang has not interacted with her brother and nephew from her natal family. After moving to the city, she has looked down on her natal family.
She was afraid that rural people would ask her for favors and take advantage of her Jia family... Now she wants to impress her family with a few pounds of corn flour. She is simply treating them like fools.
After Jia Zhang waited for more than an hour, Boss Zhang came back with only his cousin.
"Aunt, Axe and the others have gone into the mountains to collect mountain products. Only Hammer is at home. Do you think the two of us are enough?"
In order to show his sincerity, Zhang Chuitou came with a weapon in his hand.
Jia Zhang frowned and shook her head. She knew the Ma family's power. If she only took her two nephews with her, it would not be enough to fill their teeth...
"At least ten strong laborers are needed. You two can't do it..."
Zhang Chuitou was anxious: "What should we do? Once they enter the mountain, they won't be back until dark."
Now Jia Zhang was in a dilemma, as there would be inspection if entering the city at night.
Jia Zhang thought about it and slapped her thigh.
"Tomorrow, you brothers, go into the city early tomorrow morning... I'll wait for you at Fuchengmen, the Ma family is nearby. After the men of the Ma family go to work, you just need to cheer me up, bring your wives with me to beat up the women of the Ma family... Today, it was those three crazy women who beat me up."
Boss Zhang and Zhang Chuitou looked at each other and smiled slightly...
After making strategic arrangements for the next day, Jia Zhang left Zhangge Village.
In order to verify whether what her eldest nephew said was true, she sneaked to the homes of several other nephews to take a look...
After confirming that several families had indeed gone into the mountains to collect mountain products, Jia Zhang hurried back to Sijiu City.
She thought that she must teach the Ma family a lesson tomorrow...
After seeing their aunt off, the two brothers returned home happily.
"Brother, do you know where Fuchengmen is?"
"do not know!"
Hammerhead chuckled: "I don't know what to do either."
"If you don't know the way, then don't go! Go do whatever you need to do tomorrow... Autumn is a good time to pick mountain products, don't miss it..."
Along the way, Jia Zhang was imagining the scene of a group beating up several women from the Ma family tomorrow... When she thought of the excitement, she laughed out loud, but her cheeks hurt a little from grinning.
