Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

Chapter 397: Chapter 371: She Wants to Vent Her Anger

The demolition team, all the workers were found by Mr. Yu, and Yu Minglang personally screened them one by one to ensure that none of them would cause trouble and that they would work diligently for his future mother-in-law.

Once his own house was torn down, Yu Minglang led the team to tear down the houses of others. The rules here were such that Jia Xiufang’s construction team was responsible for demolishing houses. They hired several excavators, and after tearing down the houses, they directly recycled the building materials. Demolishing the house was a separate charge, and they could resell the materials, which was incredibly lucrative. It only took a few days to make a huge profit. Without Mr. Yu’s word, such a fat chance would never have come to Jia Xiufang.

It just so happened that Yu Minglang was at home, and there was absolutely nothing wrong with handling matters for his mother-in-law. With him overseeing the site, things went very smoothly. Jia Xiufang didn’t have to worry about anything. She just carried a bag with her accountant, Qian, to settle accounts and collect money from people. She had never handled so much money in her life, truly enjoying the thrill of being a boss.

Yu Minglang handled things efficiently, and Jia Xiufang was extremely satisfied. The business of recycling building materials was booming here, while over there, Second Uncle’s family was so angry they could vomit, their eyes burning green with envy.

Who could have imagined that the most unpromising Jia Xiufang, a middle-aged woman dumped by a man, would unexpectedly rise to the top!

Not only did she snatch a house from Second Uncle’s family, but she also took over the super lucrative opportunity of recycling building materials!

For Mr. Yu, such matters were as trivial as an ant, meant to be a little pocket money for Qian’s maternal family, not worth mentioning. But for Second Uncle, who lives off his parents’ savings without any skills or formal job, this was an enormous opportunity.

On the day of the demolition, watching Jia Xiufang walking around with a small tool bag stuffed full of cash, accompanied by Qian, collecting payments and making money, while Second Aunt thought she was seeing things.

Upon inquiry, it was confirmed that the business of recycling building materials in that area was indeed covered by Jia Xiufang.

It sounded like an absurd tale from Arabian Nights, but after several inquiries with the same conclusion, it was clear that Jia Xiufang was not who she used to be.

Second Uncle and Second Aunt, who had previously done something as despicable as slipping sleeping pills to monopolize the elderly’s compensation money, had later made peace with Qian’s mom and were released after a few days. They initially did not want Jia Xiufang to get away with this, but when the lawyer hired by Yu Minglang visited them separately and warned them that if they continued fussing, not only would they get no house, but Jia Xiufang reserved the right to sue them for elder abuse, which would definitely be successful.

They had no choice but to swallow their pride. But upon hearing Jia Xiufang was going to strike gold, the couple couldn’t sit still. At first, they wanted to cozy up to Jia Xiufang, play the family card, and try to get a share of the pie. With Qian by Jia Xiufang’s side, there was no way Qian would agree to that.

Workers were instructed to chase them away. If they dared to come back, the doors were closed, and Xiaoqiang was released!

Since soft tactics didn’t work, Second Uncle’s family started scheming, thinking that since Jia Xiufang didn’t give them any share and didn’t even let them sip the broth, they should just sabotage her.

There were local thugs in the area, and such tasks should be arranged by these thugs. Second Uncle took two packs of cigarettes and instigated them, determined to mess things up.

Even though there was no benefit for him, and he had to give up the two packs of cigarettes, he felt uncomfortable seeing Jia Xiufang had money. He was willing to lose a bit of money just to pull Jia Xiufang into trouble as well.

The local boss took the cigarettes and immediately reported it up the chain. Within half a day, Mr. Yu was informed, and when he told Yu Minglang, Yu Minglang found it amusing.

This kind of self-defeating act, and there are people who actually do it!

He shared it as a joke with his beloved Qian—who, in recent days, he didn’t know why, had been wearing a gloomy face, occasionally giving him cold stares. After pondering quietly for a long time, Yu Minglang concluded:

His beloved Qian’s period was approaching, and her emotions were inevitably a bit volatile.

Wasn’t Qian angry about this? Her period was imminently due, and she was about to start school. Yet, this big oaf had the time to laugh at these idiotic and absurd people, watching them jump around like clowns, rather than taking a good look at the wallet?

All she wanted was to leap into his arms gracefully and elegantly in an artistic way, to be the cultured terminator. Why was it so difficult!

Under this nameless fire’s pressure, Qian’s face grew darker by the day. Second Uncle’s family, not knowing when to quit, showed up just in time to be the targets of her wrath!

Wasn’t able to tolerate their underhandedness?

Weren’t they trying to secretly stab her mom in the back?

She would show these people, obstructing her happiness, what true feminine fury was all about!

In reality, what Yu Minglang hadn’t grasped was the secret of the wallet and hadn’t synchronized with Qian’s plan, which had absolutely nothing to do with Second Uncle’s family. Qian was just venting her anger.

Having caused trouble, Second Uncle’s family now awaited the sight of Jia Xiufang being beaten and her construction team being driven off, but nothing happened. Jia Xiufang continued to flamboyantly collect payments and make money with Qian, selling and buying with ease.

By the time Second Uncle realized something was wrong, the entire village had been demolished, leaving only their house...

It was spectacular, standing alone in a wasteland of ruins.

According to the demolition contract, payment of the balance was conducted on a per-house basis upon inspection.

If Second Uncle’s family did not demolish their house, they could not receive the remaining money.

He now guessed that Jia Xiufang surely knew about his secret scheming. Embarrassed to ask Jia Xiufang’s construction team for help again, and partly out of selfishness, he just didn’t want Jia Xiufang to earn this markup and instead wanted to hire an excavator from elsewhere.

But after running around all of Q City, all the excavators heard it was from White Tower Ridge and refused to go, no matter how much money was offered, as if there was a mutual agreement.

Initially unaware of what was happening, Second Uncle, after visiting a few places and sensing something was amiss, reluctantly raised the price a bit because the place was demolished, and he was anxious for the money.

Nevertheless, no matter how high the offer was, nobody would go. He even proposed to sell the building materials cheaper, but people still wouldn’t come.

Eventually, an experienced demolisher couldn’t bear to see it any longer and gave Second Uncle a hint. No one could go over to your area. Not to mention cheap building materials, even if they were offered for free, no one would dare accept them.

Qian had spoken; without her permission, no one dared cross the line.

It was only now that Second Uncle panicked and went to entreat Jia Xiufang for leniency, only to be kicked out by Yu Minglang.

Because of you guys, my beloved Qian’s complexion isn’t even good. Scram, scram, quickly scram, and go cool off wherever it’s cool. Come back when Qian has calmed down.

After driving them away, Yu Minglang, grinning ingratiatingly, eagerly went to Qian hoping for some praise. The pretty girl, who was irritable before her period, ah, it’s been so long since you’ve hugged and kissed your brother!

Yet before he could even approach Qian, she kicked him away. You scram too, just seeing you is annoying!

Yu Xiaoqiang was utterly bewildered, his beloved Mei, what on earth was wrong?
