"You finally woke up and asked me what happened? Didn't you go to buy food? What happened? If Yan Zi hadn't gone to work, I don't know how much money I would have to pay this time. Are you still in pain?"

How could Yan Fugui not feel pain? Not only did the wound on his head hurt, but he felt even more pain when he thought about the food that was stolen. The most important thing was that the food was bought on the black market, and when he came back and was robbed, he didn't dare to call the police and could only accept the loss.

"Aren't you talking nonsense? How much did it cost this time?"

"Yanzi didn't say anything. She said that she would let the factory pay for you. After all, you are a teacher at the children's school, so you are also an employee of the factory."

"That's all thanks to Yan Zi. I'll go thank her when I feel better! I lost a lot this time. My food was robbed on the way back. Those bastards robbed me and injured me. It seems that I won't dare to go to the black market alone in the future."

As Yan Fugui said this, his hand gently touched the wound that had just been sutured. As soon as it touched, he grimaced again, and there was still a hint of fear in his heart. As for why he was beaten, he did not say a word. However, even if he didn't say it, his wife, who had slept in the same bed with him for decades, knew it without having to guess.

However, even though I feel sorry for the food and the money, I dare not let the boss go to the black market. After all, as long as the person is still alive, I am extremely grateful.

As for Zhang Xiaoyan's request for her to buy more nutritious food for the head of the family, she did not say a word. After all, both she and her husband knew the situation at home.

As Zhang Xiaoyan walked all the way to the factory, she could hear co-workers talking about the recent food problem.

"Good morning, Dr. Zhang!"

"Good morning! You've finished the medicine you took earlier. I'll go get you some."

The person who was talking to Zhang Xiaoyan was Zhang Changzheng, and the two of them went to the consultation room while talking as if they were just a doctor and patient.

"what happened?"

"Nothing serious, I just dealt with what happened last time, and those people will definitely not expose us."

"That's good. They're not clean anyway, so it's better to deal with them. I heard that food is hard to buy recently. After this wave of attacks, I don't know when the next wave will start."

Zhang Xiaoyan didn't think much about what Zhang Changzheng said. After all, this was decided at the beginning. How could she not retaliate after suffering such a huge loss?

"There are only two small black markets around here that are still open, but they are very chaotic and will definitely be cleaned up in the next two days. Should we temporarily stop this line in the factory?"

Zhang Changzheng sat down on the stool and continued speaking after seeing that no one else was talking.

"Don't worry. Didn't I ask you to build a good relationship with Li Huaide? As long as he's in the factory, this connection won't be broken."

After all, Li Huaide has a big shot behind him. Besides, arrangements have already been made for the surrounding suburbs to send their output to the factory one after another.

"This year is not a good year. Although the surrounding areas have been booked, the output in the fields is still uncertain due to the drought."

"It doesn't matter. We'll produce as much as we can. The general environment is like this. If there are only a few places with abnormalities, then others will definitely be suspicious. As long as we produce more than other places in the past two years, it will be fine. After all, we are just doing this to save face. Life will get better after the drought."

Zhang Changzheng was about to say something after hearing what Zhang Xiaoyan said when he noticed someone coming outside. The two of them then changed the topic and started playing the roles of doctor and patient.

Not many people came to get medicine or ask for medical advice in the morning, so it was quite quiet. It was lunchtime and Zhang Xiaoyan went to the cafeteria to get lunch as usual.

"Hello, Doctor Zhang! My name is Cui Hongqiang and I'm a new member of the technical department. Nice to meet you..."

Just as she reached the entrance of the cafeteria, Zhang Xiaoyan looked around and was about to go to the place with the least queue to get her meal, but she was blocked by someone. Looking at the man with slicked-back hair and a confident look, she could no longer maintain her usual expression.

"Excuse me, I really need to eat right now, and I don't want to meet you."

After saying that, he walked around the other team and lined up behind the team with the smallest number of people.

Cui Hongqiang's face was a little distorted, but he quickly suppressed it. He turned his head and took a deep look at the other person's back, but did not disturb him and left the cafeteria directly.

Even though Zhang Xiaoyan has rejected countless people since she started working in the factory until now and even made a special announcement on the radio, there are still people who come up to her every now and then and want to date her.

This time, Zhang Xiaoyan thought it was just an ordinary chat and rejection so she didn't take it seriously.

"Doctor Zhang, what would you like to eat today?"

Ma Hua took the lunch box and said with a smile, waving the big spoon in his hand twice.

"Let's have this vermicelli stew! And give me two steamed buns, thank you!"

"You're welcome. Today's vermicelli stew is especially delicious. My chef put a lot of effort into it."

Ma Hua boasted about his chef's cooking skills as usual, and Zhang Xiaoyan did not refute him. She gave him the money and the ticket, picked up the lunch box and left. After all, there were many people queuing behind her, and she couldn't stand there and chat with them.

"Yanzi, do you know who was talking to you just now? It was the man who stopped you at the cafeteria door to talk."

Just as Zhang Xiaoyan returned to her consultation room and put the lunch box on the table, she heard Wang Ling's voice behind her.

"Sister Wang, you really are worthy of being called a 'busybody'. Tell me, who was that just now?"

Although Zhang Xiaoyan didn't want to know who the other person was, she didn't want to offend Wang Ling. After all, the title of "gossip girl" was not given for nothing, and the gossips Wang Ling told her on weekdays also brought her a lot of fun.

"He is the youngest technician in our factory. He has a bright future. I heard he is still single. He is also good-looking. So he and you are a perfect match. But what do you think?"

Wang Ling asked with a gossipy look on her face, and with a sly little expression, she looked at Zhang Xiaoyan as if she wanted to slap her.

"I don't think so. Besides, I think being single is great! You see, I have a job and a house, and I can spend whatever I earn on myself. No one will say, what's wrong with me spending my own money?

But once I get married, my money is no longer my money. If I spend a penny more, people will gossip about me. Why should I do that?

Also, I am single and can go wherever I want when I am on vacation. But if I get married, I won’t be able to have such freedom.

Not to mention the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationships, husband-wife relationships, neighborhood relationships, and other interpersonal relationships after marriage. Don’t even mention it myself. I don’t even want to talk about it. Just thinking about it makes me feel overwhelmed.”

Zhang Xiaoyan shook her head seriously as she spoke, and Wang Ling on the other side was stunned when she heard it.
