Chapter 106 Opening Ceremony
"What did you do today that you want to eat?" Dou Juhua squinted at Wang Xiang and said in a sharp voice, "Look at how you worked today. You didn't do the work in the fields well, and you didn't do any of the housework well. How dare you ask for food?"
"Mom, I left home at seven today and didn't come back until five in the evening. I didn't even have water during the trip. The field was dry and full of lumps of dirt. I couldn't finish it all at once."
Liu Qinqin pouted, sneered and added fuel to the fire: "You blame God for your own incompetence. Get out of the way. It will be good for you to be hungry."
Dandan also said: "Go away, it will be good for you to be hungry."
Tears welled up in Wang Xiang's eyes and her fingers trembled involuntarily.
"Don't look so sad." Dou Juhua snorted coldly and continued to feed her grandson. "If you do a good job, why would I not let you eat? The food in our house doesn't fall from the sky."
Wang Xiang bit her lips, she knew that no matter what she said, she could not change the situation in this family.
No matter how well she does, she has no say in this family.
Her identity is just an outsider, a laborer, and a machine for bearing children.
Seeing that the chili peppers in the dish were almost gone, the family was still eating, and it seemed that they had no intention of leaving any for Wang Xiang.
Guan Lei finished eating and left the table.
Liu Qinqin had finished eating. She dropped her chopsticks and pulled Guan Lei to her room.
Not long after entering the room, Guan Lei heard Dou Juhua's scolding: "You are a wooden man, you said to take one step at a time, and you haven't cleaned up the dishes yet, are you waiting for me to clean up?"
"You won't die of starvation if you skip a meal, but if you think about eating every day, are you a pig or a human being?"
"How could we marry a pig woman like you? Don't touch my balls from now on."
"Who are you glaring at? Believe it or not, I can poke your eyes out with a chopstick!"
Guan Lei pointed out the window and whispered, "Auntie often treats sister-in-law like this. Can she bear it?"
"What's so unbearable? Just scold her a few times. I didn't hit her." Liu Qinqin said disapprovingly.
"But aren't you afraid that scolding her might cause problems?"
"Never mind her. We finally got together to chat. Why bother talking about her? Let me show you the new shoes I bought a few days ago."
Guan Lei thought back to her previous life, when Wang Xiang was abused to the point of insanity. She would sing and dance all day at home, and even throw stones and dirt into the house when she was cooking, causing chaos in the family.
She wanted to give a kind reminder, but when she saw that Liu Qinqin didn't want to talk, she didn't say anything.

The next morning, Yang Yan drove Guan Youshuang out of the county town.
Originally, Gu Errong planned to bring Guan Youshuang down today, but Yang Yan found him last night and said that he also wanted to attend today's opening ceremony.
He has always attached great importance to the embroidery factory, and he has secretly contributed a lot to the previous approval processes.
Knowing that the children’s make-up classes would be delayed today, Guan Youshuang printed out some materials last night.
When they arrived at the market, Guan Youshuang asked him to stop the car first. She went to the school and gave the materials to the teachers of various subjects and asked them to distribute them to the children.
The children and other teachers have now adapted to Guan Youshuang's teaching style. During this period, they have also been reviewing with the children according to her methods and pace.
By the time they reached the village, it was almost ten o'clock in the morning.
People gathered early, their faces filled with anticipation and excitement.
The construction site is decorated with red flags fluttering in the wind, making it look very festive.
The villagers were standing or sitting, chatting in groups of three or five, and children were moving among the crowd, occasionally letting out crisp laughter.
Some are from this village, and some are from other villages.
It can be seen that the village committee attaches great importance to the groundbreaking ceremony.
A bright red banner was hung on two large trees behind the simple wooden table.
The banner read in large letters "Warmly celebrate the opening of the embroidery factory."
On the table, there were firecrackers and cannons on one side, and on the other side were incense, candles, paper money and tea for sacrifice. An old speaker made a rustling noise from time to time.
The village chief spoke soothingly while waiting for someone.
He spoke about the significance of the factory and how it would bring employment opportunities to the villagers and improve their living standards.
In fact, these words were also from the materials submitted by Gu Errong before, and he just borrowed them.
A car horn sounded, and everyone looked back and saw a brand new Santana parked nearby.
Then, Guan Youshuang and Yang Yan came out.
"Who is this?"
"Never seen it before."
"How did Errong's wife know him?"
People were talking about it.
They came over.
The village party secretary took the loud speaker and said, "Youshuang, now that you are here, why don't you say a few words to everyone?"
Guan Youshuang nodded, declined the loudspeaker handed over by the village chief, cleared her throat, and said loudly: "Thank you, everyone. Before I speak, please allow me to introduce the person next to me. He is Yang Yan, the director of the county carpet factory."
Yang Yan smiled and nodded to everyone.
"Ah, the factory director?"
"The director of the carpet factory is so young. I thought he was an old man."
"It is because of Director Yang's support and investment that our embroidery factory was successfully built."
The village chief came forward and invited Yang Yan to the podium.
Guan Youshuang continued loudly: "Dear village committee leaders, dear fellow villagers:
good morning, everyone!
Today, we gather together to witness that this land, once bare due to drought, is now full of new vitality.
Here, I would like to first thank every friend who helped me. It is your support and encouragement that gave me the courage to turn a seemingly crazy idea into reality.
Nowadays, crops are not growing well and many villagers are forced to work outside. Since I married into Gujiatai, I have been thinking about how to change the current situation of our village.
I thought about the embroidery skill that many of us are good at.
This is a craft and also a heritage.
Today, I am standing here excitedly to celebrate with you the official opening of our embroidery factory.
This is not just the establishment of a factory, but also a reflection of our self-reliance and courage to innovate.
Here, we not only pass on the traditional embroidery art, but also make it a unique brand in the market through continuous exploration and learning.
What I want to say is that this project does not only belong to me, it belongs to each and every one of us.
I hope that through our joint efforts, every piece of embroidery here can go beyond the mountains and spread across the country and even the world.
Finally, let us look forward to the fact that in the near future our embroidery factory will grow into a shining pearl in this region and even the wider world.
thank you all! "
