Married the Tough Guy After Transmigrating-Chapter 444 Xu Ying and Huo Chen Quarrel

"What’s going on? Why did a fight start all of a sudden?" Mrs. Xu was so startled that she immediately jumped out of bed; her heart was pounding nonstop, and she hurried into her daughter’s room.

Once inside, seeing her daughter and son-in-law with such gloomy faces, Mrs. Xu was terrified; this was the first time she’d ever seen her son-in-law get angry and lose his temper.

"Mom, you should really talk to Yingying. Now that Mr. Sun has retired, the new director of the factory is not someone to mess with.

Our village’s factory was disbanded just like that, and if Yingying continues to be willful and reckless as before, I’m afraid the factories in our village will keep being disbanded," Huo Chen’s icy voice rang out.

Standing to the side, Mrs. Xu started to feel bewildered: "Huo Chen, what do you mean by that? Does the dissolution of our village’s factory have something to do with my daughter?"

Huo Chen leaned against the doorframe, his dark eyes drooping: "Hmm, a new official does liketo set fires; Director Ma definitely wants to assert his authority.

Plus, there was a poisoning incident involving our vegetable greenhouse, and the word outside is that our factory isn’t safe, so we have to temporarily halt production.

And then there’s Xu Ying, a head of research and development, holding the factory’s production lifeline. Director Ma is a bit displeased, which is why he’s thinking about dissolving the factory."

Xu had just come back from Uncle Liu’s house when he heard the reason for the factory’s dissolution and was even more incensed: "What does Director Ma mean, cutting off relations as soon as he’s crossed the river?

Without my little sister’s recipe, the Yu County Food Factory wouldn’t be where it is today; if they want to dissolve, then dissolve. We might as well set up our own factory and still do business."

No sooner had Xu spoken than Eldest Sister-in-law Xu glanced at the villagers around and quickly pulled him back: "What nonsense are you talking about? It isn’t that easy to set up a factory.

However, Director Ma really is petty, if he’s capable, let him find a few employees who can develop new products on their own; he can’t find them by himself, and instead blames it on our little sister."

After Eldest Sister-in-law Xu spoke, the villagers of Xujia Village also showed indignation on behalf of Xu Ying: "Exactly, Yingying developed the recipe on her own merit.

If he can’t research it himself, he shouldn’t harm us like this; it’s inhumane."

Xu Ying felt a slight warmth in her heart seeing the villagers’ support for her, and her curious eyes raised a question: "Did you all find any problems when you went to check the water source?"

"Uncle Liu is gone!" Xu said in a low voice, also feeling somewhat incredulous.

Upon hearing this, Xu Ying was stunned! At the same time, a wave of anger surged in her heart.

For the sake of the vegetable greenhouse business, for the director’s position, Deputy Director Zhang’s greed was too ugly.

Such a disregard for human life, he wasn’t afraid of retribution.

Huo Chen stood to the side, his whole body exuding a chill, his fists clenched tight.

"Send Uncle Liu to the hospital and get a good check-up to see how he passed away," Xu Ying said.

When the people of Xujia Village heard this, a flicker of panic passed through their eyes: "Yingying, do you suspect that Uncle Liu was murdered?"

"My goodness, how could someone be so ruthless? Just to stop us from growing vegetables in our greenhouse, they’d resort to murder."

For a moment, there was a sense of panic among the people of Xujia Village.

Inside Xu Qingqing’s home, Xu Jianhe looked pale as he stared at his little daughter: "Qingqing, all I did was have a drink with Uncle Liu; I didn’t kill anyone.

I don’t know how Uncle Liu just passed away like that."

When Xu Qingqing heard Xu Jianhe’s words, a sinister look flashed across her face, which quickly disappeared. She comforted her father: "Dad, don’t worry too much.

We haven’t done anything, and even if the police come, they’ll see that justice is done for you.

Plus, we have Deputy Director Zhang. We’ve been working for him, and he won’t let us down."

Xu Jianhe felt relieved upon hearing his daughter’s words, but he was still worried.

After all, a living, breathing life was at stake. Now, every time he closed his eyes, he could see the scene of him drinking with Uncle Liu.

How could a living person just be gone?

Xu Qingqing wasn’t worried about Uncle Liu, she was more concerned about the poisoning incident, "Dad, did you destroy all those things?

Don’t tell me you didn’t clean up properly and left something behind that could be traced."

Xu Jianhe confidently patted his chest, "That’s absolutely impossible."

The incident with Uncle Liu quickly alarmed the police, and with their investigation, a problem with the water supply in Xujia Village was also detected.

Indeed, toxic poison remained in it.

But now that Uncle Liu, the sole caretaker of the water source, had an accident and was no longer alive, the clues were cut off again.

Night fell——

Xu Qingqing was lying in bed embraced in sleep with Sun Yiliang when suddenly a series of faint footsteps sounded, startling them both awake, "Who’s there?"

"It’s me, your Uncle Han Jie?" Huo Hanjie stood at the door, looking disheveled.

Xu Qingqing nudged Sun Yiliang, "Go see what’s going on?"

"What’s happening? What’s the matter?" Buttoning up his clothes, Sun Yiliang shivered with the cold as he stepped outside and eyed Huo Hanjie with irritation.

Huo Hanjie didn’t get annoyed but let out a chuckle that was nonetheless shocking, "Your dad got the medicine from the pharmacy on ** Road in the county. I saw everything very clearly..."

Sun Yiliang was visibly panicked when he heard this, and his attitude changed instantly, "Uncle Han Jie, what are you talking about? We all have a common enemy, which makes us friends by extension.

Where have you been these days? How come you’re nowhere to be seen?"

Huo Hanjie was infuriated by this, "It’s all because of that damned old hag at my house, not giving me money to spend, and even fainting to scare me. How dare I come back now?

That bastard Huo Chen is cruel and ruthless. If I come back, I’m as good as dead.

Enough talk, I’m hungry, get me something to eat."

"Qingqing, make Uncle Han Jie something to eat," Sun Yiliang instructed as he entered the room, addressing Xu Qingqing still in bed.

Xu Qingqing was furious. How could a bastard like Huo Hanjie know about this?

"How does he know about this? From now on, he’ll be pulling us by the nose and threatening us," Xu Qingqing raged.

Sun Yiliang was also at a loss, "What can we do? We can’t let him go snitch, can we?

It’s a critical time right now. Once Deputy Director Zhang’s promotion is successful and Director Gu is out of the way, Huo Hanjie will naturally be dealt with.

We’re just going to have to put up with this for a little while."

Hearing this, Xu Qingqing felt somewhat reassured. Once Deputy Director Zhang’s promotion was successful, her good days would come.

After having lunch, Huo Hanjie settled himself into Xu Qingqing’s house and refused to leave, "Set up a room for me, I need to rest."

After all the days he’d spent wandering, he could finally rest properly.

"Our house is too small, there’s no place for you to rest, Uncle Han Jie. I’ll give you money, you can stay somewhere else," Xu Qingqing said with distaste.

"What’s the matter, you find me distasteful?" Huo Hanjie countered. "Your dad poisoning has harmed the entire village. What do you think these people would do if they knew it was your father who caused our village’s business to fail?

What would become of you and your dad?" Huo Hanjie threatened.

Xu Qingqing choked, her face red with rage.

"Fine, I’ll set up a room for you, as long as you’re not afraid of Huo Chen coming to take care of you," Xu Qingqing said angrily.

Seeing her lose her cool, Huo Hanjie’s mood lightened considerably, "Don’t worry about that.

Xu Qingqing, you’ve made quite a bit of money this year, haven’t you? I’m short on cash."
