Chapter 128 Yu Han's offer to help Yu Mei rebuild the soy sauce factory was rejected (Yu Han
According to television reports, the 6.8-magnitude earthquake that struck seven cities caused enormous loss of life and property!
Just as the earthquake struck the courtyard of Yumei Soy Sauce Factory at noon, all my family, classmates, and friends ran to the cement road outside the factory gate to avoid the sudden earthquake!
Family members including Liu Shulan, Liu Shuqin, Yang Yuhan, Yang Yumei, Chen Lixin, Chen Dasi, and Chen Xiaosi.
Li Lihong is a private teacher at the city's middle school. Zou Yunfang, Song Xiaojie, Ye Zilan, and the twin sisters Ye Ziqing, four veteran saleswomen, were invited by Yu Han to lunch today. The store has hired about a dozen new saleswomen. The four quickly finished their meal and rushed off to work at the clothing store.
All of these people attended Liu Shulan's 66th birthday banquet and escaped death. Fortunately, today, Sunday, was a day off for all the workers at the soy sauce factory, so none of them were injured. Whether they are safe at home is currently unknown, as several aftershocks are expected.
Yu Mei watched as her family's soy sauce factory, which they had painstakingly built up, was destroyed in an instant by natural disaster and man-made calamity. She collapsed onto the main road and burst into tears!
Lixin and his family, with tears in their eyes, came over and pulled her up quickly! The two daughters, Da Sisi and Xiao Sisi, hugged Yumei and cried bitterly. Lixin hugged his mother tightly, and the three of them comforted Yumei.
Just then, the ground shook slightly again; an aftershock had struck. Everyone was terrified, but fortunately, this aftershock was not strong.
With the help of her husband and daughters, Yu Mei stood up. She wiped away her daughters' tears and then gradually calmed down.
Yu Han was also startled for a moment, but then calmly said to the people in front of her, "We can't just wait here. We don't know how our coworkers in the factory are doing. We have to find a way to contact them."
So everyone started asking around to see if they could use a phone. They finally managed to borrow one and called a few of their coworkers' homes. They learned that most of them had only suffered minor injuries and that their houses hadn't collapsed, which put everyone's minds at ease.
Then, government rescue teams arrived. Seeing the supplies and equipment brought by the rescue workers, everyone was filled with hope.
Yu Han smiled and said to her family and friends, "Our soy sauce factory is destroyed, but as long as we are still alive, we can rebuild it. For now, let's cooperate with the rescue work, and then we'll work together to get everything back."
Everyone nodded, their eyes filled with determination, ready to face the challenges ahead.
After Yu Han finished speaking and calmed everyone down, she quickly ran to the front of her clothing store building to see what was going on.
Yu Han ran to the clothing store building and found that although the building had some cracks, it was still relatively stable overall. She breathed a sigh of relief and went inside to check the situation.
Inside the store, Zou Yunfang, Song Xiaojie, Ye Zilan, Ye Ziqing, and a dozen other new female sales clerks were present. Fortunately, they quickly heard a response. It turned out they were hiding behind a sturdy counter and were only frightened but otherwise unharmed. Yu Han breathed a sigh of relief and led them back inside.
At this time, rescue teams are organizing the resettlement of disaster-stricken people.
Yu Mei and her family, along with their friends, were settled into a temporary tent. They sat together, discussing their future plans. Some suggested taking out a bank loan to rebuild the soy sauce factory; others suggested starting a small workshop to make a living.
Just as the discussion was in full swing, a rescue worker ran up to them and told them that the government had decided to provide certain aid funds for post-disaster reconstruction.
This news excited everyone. Yu Han excitedly grasped Yu Mei's hand and said, "Cousin, it seems that God is still looking out for us. We must work even harder."
Yu Mei nodded emphatically, gazing at the ruins of the old soy sauce factory, her eyes sparkling with hope, as if she could already see a brand new soy sauce factory rising from the ground.
A few days later, just as Yu Mei and Li Xin were preparing to rebuild the soy sauce factory after the government relief funds arrived, Da Si Si suddenly fell ill. Her chronic pneumonia flared up, and she needed to be hospitalized for observation.
The whole family came to help, including Yu Han. The clothing store left about twenty employees to sell clothes.
Then the government's disaster relief funds were used to treat Da Sisi's chronic pneumonia.
Yu Han offered to contribute his personal funds to help Yu Mei rebuild the soy sauce factory, but Yu Mei refused with a strong smile.
After rejecting Yu Han's offer, Yu Mei began to travel around raising funds. She went to some of her former business partners and told them about her determination to rebuild the soy sauce factory. Many partners were moved by her persistence and the Mei family started from scratch. They first found a cheap vacant lot, which was a bit remote, but the rent was low.
Lixin, along with a few former coworkers, personally moved materials and built a simple factory frame. Yumei, on the other hand, revived the old recipe and tried to simmer soy sauce on a makeshift stove.
After her health improved, the eldest daughter joined in during the holidays to help with the bookkeeping. Little Sisi was also busy helping out.
Seeing their efforts, the neighbors also lent a helping hand, bringing some unused tools or ingredients.
As the days went by, the small soy sauce workshop gradually improved. Yu Mei looked at the slowly piling up soy sauce bottles and a gratified smile appeared on her face.
She knew that as long as the family worked together, a better life would always return. That night, Yu Mei silently made a wish to the stars, hoping that such a disaster would never happen again and that her family could always be safe and happy.
Then, things didn't go as she had hoped. Suddenly, all of her old customers from her soy sauce factory went to her nemesis, a man surnamed Wang.
It turns out that the man surnamed Wang rebuilt his business the year after his previous bankruptcy, and his soy sauce factory was completely undamaged in the earthquake.
At this time, the man surnamed Wang was waiting for Yu Mei's newly established, weak, and risk-unable-to-bear small workshop to take advantage of the situation.
He secretly encouraged Yu Mei's regular soy sauce customers to give him benefits, but his regular customers left as soon as they saw the profit.
At this time, Yu Han also went to visit the textile factory she owned in the village!
Yang Yumei's soy sauce factory is only managed by her and Chen Lixin, who is easygoing, kind and honest!
Then, the man surnamed Wang even used Wang Chen's brother-in-law and his gang of men with large cleavers to get involved in the matter!
Li Xin wanted to ask Liu Cheng for help, but Yu Mei stopped him immediately. She didn't want to bother him anymore. Chen Li Xin, who had already been promoted, worked in a higher-level law enforcement department, and had a short, dark yellow leather tool for carrying out his missions attached to his waist.
Therefore, she accepted her fate and sold her current soy sauce workshop to an outsider at a low price. This outsider was secretly sent by someone surnamed Wang to buy out Yu Mei's soy sauce workshop!
Chen Lixin squatted on the ground, constantly puffing on the white cigarette in his hand, sighing repeatedly!
Then, he stood up, forcefully threw away the glowing embers of the cigarette butt stuck in his hand, which burned his fingers, and then stomped on the cigarette butt with one foot.
It was later learned that the man surnamed Wang had spent 10,000 yuan to hire a group of people with long machetes to cause trouble.
