Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Lin Laoda was directly dismissed by Su Shen, his smile frozen on his face. He felt utterly embarrassed, but the man before him was Su Shen, a renowned pig farmer whose wrath he could not afford to incur. He certainly wouldn’t be foolish enough to challenge him head-on, like Lin Laoyao’s family had done with the current Lin Lao’er.
So, he had no choice but to bear the humiliation. He held back his irate wife, bid his farewell, and left. Lin Laoda’s wife was puzzled by her husband’s sudden submission, but after receiving multiple warnings from him, she dared not act out. She left with their two grandsons, her eyes filled with resentment.
As soon as Lin Laoda’s family left, the atmosphere around them returned to its previous jovial state. Some people were envious, but what could they do? They certainly didn’t dare to offend Gu Zi and Lin Lao’er’s family again.
Observing how Su Shen had just protected Gu Zi, it was clear that the rumors of Su Shen’s fondness for Gu Zi were not unfounded. Su Shen usually appeared to be a particularly cold person, not one for many words, but it was rare for him to be so blunt.
It was the first time the villagers of Little Lin Village had seen Su Shen dismiss someone so rudely. If he wasn’t particularly concerned about Gu Zi, why would he reveal this side of himself?
Some people wanted to talk to Gu Zi about the good job opportunity, but Su Shen found an excuse to take Gu Zi into the house.
Seeing their parents go in, the two brothers followed. As they passed Lin Lao’er, they hugged him. Su Bing said, “Grandpa, we heard what you said earlier. Thank you. You will always be our dear grandfather.”
Su Li also nodded, his eyes welling up with tears. “Yes, besides you, we don’t recognize anyone else as our grandfather. Thank you for not despising us!”
Lin Lao’er looked at the two brothers, his heart aching. He had heard about the hardships these two children had faced in the past, and it pained him. Now that he had the chance to be their grandfather, how could he despise them?
He told the brothers, “I love you both too much to ever despise you. Go inside now. It’s windy out here. We’ll take care of things here.”
Su Bing and Su Li wiped their tears and went inside. As soon as they entered, they heard their father speaking, “Gu Zi, this is a great job opportunity. I hope you can make a decision based on your own wishes. The children and I will support you to the fullest. Also, there’s something I should have told you a long time ago.”
Gu Zi was holding Su Le, and Su Le was hugging Gu Zi. It felt like they hadn’t seen each other in a long time. Su Le hugged her mother’s neck tightly, giving her kisses while calling her “mommy” and giggling. Gu Zi also laughed, stroking her daughter’s head. The mother and daughter were very affectionate.
Busy taking care of her daughter, Gu Zi responded to Su Shen without lifting her head, “Then say it now.”
At that moment, Su Shen felt a pang of envy, as did the two boys who had just entered. Three men, three faces of envy.
For a second or two, they stared at the mother and daughter, completely captivated. The idea of like repelling like did not exist in their family. They could almost foresee that once the little girl grew up a bit more, she would undoubtedly become the strongest competitor for affection.
Su Shen quickly averted his gaze and continued, “I’ve been very busy lately. Not with the pig farm, but with my plan to open a slaughterhouse in the city. I’m preparing for it, and it should be ready after the New Year. Then we can move to the city. It will be convenient for you to go to work, and for Su Bing and the others to go to school.
“I wanted to surprise you, but since it’s not ready yet, I didn’t tell you. Now that you have this job opportunity, I believe it’s time to tell you that I’ve been planning to take you all to live in the city for a while. So, Gu Zi, if you want to take the job, just take it.”
After Gu Zi married him, Su Shen had thought a lot about it. He felt that it was unfair for Gu Zi to live in the countryside with him, so he had the idea of moving to the city.
But moving the pig farm to the city was unrealistic. Although he could do it, it wasn’t necessary. Pig farming was noisy, and it would be too disruptive in a city where residents congregated. So, he thought of opening a slaughterhouse in the city.
The pig farm would still be in Daqing Village, and a specialized slaughterhouse would be opened in the city. This way, the pig farm would only be responsible for raising pigs, breeding, reproduction, and marketing, making it more specialized.
The pigs ready for slaughter would be directly transported to the city’s slaughterhouse for slaughtering, cleaning, and packaging, and then distributed throughout the city. This would effectively improve the efficiency of slaughtering, and the quality and safety of the pork would be more controllable, which would be beneficial for sustainable development. The benefits were numerous.
