1613 No Entry Or Exit
At night, Xia He and Deng Fan returned home in a happy mood. As soon as they entered the house, Xia He rushed to the children and kissed and hugged them, wishing that she never needed to be away from them again for the rest of her life. Behind her, Deng Fan carried many bags into the house.

“Oh~ Aunt misses you so much! Come and let Aunt see if you’ve lost weight! I hope your mother didn’t torture you. You guys ate well, right? Are there any wounds on your bodies?” Xia He said with heartache.

“I’m their mother, not a human trafficker. What are you saying? Besides, why didn’t you come over and take a look at me first? Why don’t you care if I’ve lost weight?” Qiao Mei said with a twinge of jealousy.

“What’s there to see? You’re not as likable as our Xia Fan and Xia Xing~” Xia He said disdainfully.

However, as she spoke, she took out a gold bangle from her pocket and handed it over. Qiao Mei quickly took it.

“Alright then~ If you don’t miss me, then don’t miss me. It doesn’t matter~ Xia Fan and Xia Xing! Have a good chat with Aunt~” Qiao Mei said as she looked at the gold bangle with a wide smile.

Even though Qiao Mei was very rich, she did not have much of a resistance to these materialistic things. No matter the era, no one could ignore the charm of gold.

Qiao Mei thought about buying and keeping more gold bars. In the future, the price of gold would be a few hundred dollars a gram and it would be very valuable! This could also be considered a type of investment.

Perhaps she should specially buy a house to keep all the gold. After thinking about it, Qiao Mei felt that it was still faster to make a fortune by running a company.

After admiring the gold bangle, Qiao Mei asked Deng Fan to go to one side and asked, “Are you still working at the factory? How did you manage to get out?”

“Qian’e doesn’t allow me to go back. She told me to set aside all my work for now. The factory is in a difficult situation now and the goods can’t be sent out at all. Moreover, we can’t receive deliveries either. If this continues, the factory might have to close down,” Deng Fan said with a frown.

It seemed that Qian’e did not tell her the full truth. It was probably because Qian’e did not want her to worry too much and was too embarrassed to tell her everything.

“Then how’s the cash flow for now?” Qiao Mei asked.

“It’s still alright and we can maintain normal operations. However, in the longer term, we can only last for another month at most. After one month, we’ll start losing money,” Deng Fan said.

“I hear you. The urgent matter at hand is to get rid of all those people from the Zhao Family Village. We can’t let them continue squatting at the entrance of the factory,” Qiao Mei said sternly.

“But we don’t have any reason to do that right now. They’re people who can move around. Even if we chase them away today, they will still come back tomorrow. There are already many old people among them who have suffered from heatstroke, but they don’t care at all. As long as they can force us to compromise, they will continue to be unscrupulous and even risk people’s lives,” Deng Fan said.

These people did not care about their lives at all now. All they wanted was money and for the factory to solve their urgent problems. Many families were being hounded by their creditors and did not have any money to repay their debts, so they had already sold everything in their houses.

If the houses were something movable, they would probably have even sold them and only had their land left. Even if they knew that they had brought this upon themselves, they still wanted to drag someone down with them. This person could only be Qiao Mei.

Even when the factory trucks drove right up to them, they remained indifferent. As long as they could get the money, they did not care about the price they had to pay.

“I have to think about it carefully. Let’s leave it for now.” After saying that, Qiao Mei went upstairs and made a call to Yao Nian.

Yao Nian already expected Qiao Mei to look for him. He asked someone to send the information to Qiao Mei overnight and then asked her not to disturb him for a period of time. He wanted to go on a trip to relax for a while.

Most of the people in the Zhao Family Village did not know anything about the law. Even if Qiao Mei went to sue them, it would not have any effect in the end and would only force these people to take even more drastic measures. By then, it would be hard to say what they might do.

If any of them died in front of Qiao Mei’s factory, it would only make it even more difficult for her to do business in the capital in the future.

Qiao Mei was at a loss and did not know what to do. At this moment, it was just a matter of waiting to see who would be the party to lose their cool first. She waited patiently for the Zhao family to make a wrong move. However, she would never have dreamed that the cause of the misstep would turn out to be her mother.
