Chapter 18: Suspicion
When Zhang Zhengguo really confessed to Liu Wenjing, Liu Wenjing was indeed a little overwhelmed, but Xu Jianhua knew himself and asked Zhang Zhengguo to do this time, and he also felt that the melon was ripe and natural.
In the past six months, Zhang Zhengguo and Liu Wenjing have gotten along very well, and it can be said that they have had a smooth journey. Therefore, the final result was that her sister Liu Wenqing married to Hedong Village a year later than her sister.
This is also a very worthwhile story for Hedong Village, and the two sisters have started a new life together in Hedong Village since then.
Qin Xiao also vaguely remembered the appearance of his mother and aunt, because his mother left early, his impression of his aunt was clearer, but it was not at all the cheerful and lively and innocent character that his aunt said. So Qin Xiao sometimes thinks that what her aunt said is not true.
But it is true, the two sisters married into Hedong Village, which gradually eased the relationship between the Qin and Zhang families. Before that, after ten years of turmoil in the "special period", although the Qin and Zhang families no longer mentioned the past few lives, the stalk in their hearts still lingered in everyone's hearts, including the villagers of other families. Otherwise, Xu Jianhua, who is extremely wise as a bystander, would not have built a situation where Qin Wei should always be wary of Zhang Zhengguo, not because Zhang Zhengguo is not good, but because the grievances between the two families are too deep.
Qin Xiao only knew a small part of the grievances at this time, that is, his grandfather was framed by Zhang Zongqi's father back then, but later the two families also turned hostility because of Qin Zhihong and Zhang Zongqi's like-mindedness. As for many things later, he was anxious to know about his aunt's father, and secondly, he didn't have time to read the fragments of the family tree to learn more, so he didn't know much.
And Liu Wenjing was in the Zhang family to deal with the matter of the medicinal material store with Zhang Zhengguo, but she was a person who liked freedom and insisted on moving back to Hedong Village to live, and Zhang Zhengguo had always been used to her, so the two moved back to live together in the old house of the Zhang family in Hedong Village.
And in this way, Qin Wei and Zhang Zhengguo have really become brothers-in-law who don't look up and don't look down, and the two sisters Liu Wenqing are also very good. In the 80s, as a housewife living in the countryside, she must know how to run a house, so the two were inseparable from each other. And Qin Wei and Zhang Zhengguo also got closer, and even Xu Jianhua and Liu Wenqing talked together, they were old classmates back then, and the relationship was very harmonious.
After another two years, Qin Xiao and Zhang Haojian were also born one after another, and the difference between the front and back was not long, and Qin Xiao was slightly longer. Liu Wenqing's sisters also became the mother of two children at the same time, when the elder sister went to work, the younger sister helped take care of the children, and the younger sister did not have in-laws to help take care of the children, so the elder sister helped take care of the two cousins.
At this time, except for Xu Jianhua, almost everyone in Hedong Village thought that the two families would be close from now on, but because of a small misunderstanding, there was a rift.
It was the fourth day of the Lunar New Year of the year, at this time Qin Wei's mother Zhang Suzhen had also died, and the business of Qin and Zhang was also booming, and Zhang Zhengguo had registered a pharmaceutical company in the county and opened a production line. The Qin family doesn't care that the Zhang family holds the patent of the Seven Spirits Flower Scatter, because after all, only the Qin family knows the internal allocation method, and they don't make a profit by buying medicine, so they still talk about it. Moreover, the Qin family also opened the medicine hall to the county seat, and after paying off the principal and interest in the first year, they made a lot of profits in the second year.
This year, Zhang Zhengguo and Liu Wenjing also came to Qin's house to visit relatives together, which was a small gathering for a year. At this time, Zhang Zhengguo had an idea, he wanted to develop the Seven Spirit Flower Scatter with the Qin family and make more money, so Zhang Zhengguo said to Qin Wei and Qin Yuhan straight to the point:
"To tell you the truth, I have an important matter to discuss with Uncle Qin and Qin Wei, that is, about the scattering of the Seven Spirits......
At this time, Qin Yuhan and Qin Wei both became solemn, not that the two of them were too grassy soldiers, but it was really about the Seven Spirit Flowers scattered, and the grievances between the two families were too deep, but there were no words, Zhang Zhengguo continued:
"I'll get straight to the point, I think the two of us don't have to worry about the grievances of the previous generation anymore, now the two families are like a family, I have an immature Jianyi, that is, the two of us will improve the recipe of Qiling Huasan together, and it is best to produce it on the production line, with your Qin family's ancestral medical skills and prescriptions, plus my careful planning and management, let's beat the Qilinghua Sansan together and make it into a medicine, and then the two families will make a lot of money together, I don't know what Uncle Qin and Qin Wei think?"
Qin Yuhan had long thought of Zhang Zhengguo saying this, but in fact, at this time, because of Liu Wenqing's sisters, the two families were already very close. Zhang Zhengguo did suffer a lot of persecution during the "special period", which can be regarded as a resentment in the heart of the Qin family, in all fairness, the Qin family and his son are also very willing to cooperate with the Zhang family, but things always have limitations, Qin Yuhan saw that Zhang Zhengguo did not shy away from it, and he said frankly:
"Jeongguk, since you put it up like this, Uncle Qin will give you a secret, it's not impossible to cooperate, it's actually very good for both of us, and I don't want to dwell on the previous grievances, but Jeongkook, there's a big problem that needs to be solved......"
Zhang Zhengguo was very excited, and felt that there was a play, so he hurriedly said: "Uncle Qin, what are the difficulties, as for the profit sharing, I don't care how much, you should take the lion's share, if this is a problem, there is no need to talk about it, I will definitely not refute your old face." β
Qin Yuhan couldn't help but secretly admire Zhang Zhengguo's courage, so he said: "Zhengguo, you are worthy of being a genius in business, with such courage, our family Qin Wei should really learn more from you." But I'm not talking about money, it's all trivial, and it's not an outsider, who cares about those melons and walnuts. I mean, it's a matter of the internal configuration of the Seven Spirits. β
Qin Yuhan paused, and then said: "Your Uncle Qin, I have been practicing medicine for most of my life, and I know this recipe very well, but if this recipe is on the production line, it can't be kept secret at all. β
Zhang Zhengguo couldn't help but wonder: "Why is this?" How do you configure it, I just need to set the indicators of the production line and let the workers do it, how can it not be kept secret? β
Qin Yuhan smiled and said, "That's because this recipe is extremely dangerous, unless the person who configured it knows the recipe and has some attainments in medicinal properties, it will definitely not be worthy." If you can't match it, it's just fine, but once you make a mistake, it will cause great toxicity, and after the patient takes it, it will be paralyzed at least and die at worst. I won't hide it from you, when I was in the commune, I devoted myself to studying the improvement method of this prescription, and I wanted to be able to use more configuration in a short period of time in the future, so that I could sell it for more money? But there was no progress, nothing was achieved. β
Seeing Zhang Zhengguo frowning, Qin Yuhan then explained to him:
"If you take the recipe to the production line, you must be a senior technician who understands medicine, and he must know the whole recipe, because after all, it is too harsh to restrain each other, and in that case, there will be no trade secrets at all, I don't know if I have made it clear."
Zhang Zhengguo couldn't help but be a little disappointed when he heard this, in his opinion, maybe this prescription is really complicated, but as a veteran who has been stumbling on the business sea for many years, he would rather believe that the Qin family is prevaricating with this, in the final analysis, the Qin family does not trust him, or he just doesn't want others to know the details of this prescription.
If the two families have no grievances, it would be fine if the negotiation and cooperation could not be achieved, but the wounds of the two families themselves have just begun to heal, and in this way, the two families are suddenly estranged again.
Qin Yuhan and Zhang Zhengguo are not idealists who see the world very well, in their respective hearts, they have actually had great doubts about each other, Qin Yuhan feels that Zhang Zhengguo has the ambition to seize the secret recipe of the Qin family again, and Zhang Zhengguo also thinks that the Qin family is still wary of him, and the two of them also guess what the other party thinks, so this also indicates the beginning of a new open and secret struggle.
In fact, contradictions are often not inevitable, but the parties on both sides cannot communicate thoroughly. In self-protection, people dare not or can't think too well of others, so they will take some protective actions, and it is this kind of action that makes it impossible for both parties to retreat, and finally develops to the point of sabre-rattling.
After going back, Zhang Zhengguo fell into deep thought, he felt that the Qin family had been watching out for him, and he would not tell Liu Wenjing about this. He was going to take action, because he had clearly felt the pressure through GuΓ²'s communication with the Qin family this timeβthe Qin family still had to deal with him.
And Qin Yuhan also called Qin Wei to his side alone that day and instructed him: "It seems that Zhang Zhengguo still has the idea of wanting to seize the Seven Spirits Flower Scatter, and we have to guard against this." β
Qin Wei is a loyal person, he always felt that this matter may not be so strict, after all, businessmen seek profit, so he said to his father:
"Not necessarily, maybe he's really here to seek cooperation?"
Qin Yuhan hurriedly said: "Not necessarily, even if you say it, he is here to seek cooperation, but the inner side of the Seven Spirits Flower Scatter cannot be put on the assembly line at all, we tell the truth, but it is absolutely impossible for him to completely believe it, we rejected him like this, it is frank, but will he really think so?" After all, he had never seen what the Seven Spirit Flowers looked like at all! β
Qin Wei suddenly realized, so he said: "Dad, I understand, it doesn't matter if he is sincere in talking about cooperation this time, but our polite refusal has stimulated him?" β
Qin Yuhan smiled: "You have made progress, that's right, based on this judgment, we have to take precautions to avoid mistakes." β
At this time, Zhang Zhengguo also called a newly arrived supervisor in his company to his side, he knew that since he was already suspected, it was better to stop doing nothing, and the Seven Spirits Flower Scatter had an irresistible attraction to the Zhang family. What's more, Zhang Zhengguo was dumping antiques at this time, and he pressed a lot of precious antiques in his hands, because the country's economy was just starting, it was difficult to sell, and smuggling abroad was really risky, so this also forced him to make a desperate bet.
