Chapter 247 Break Their Hands and Feet
The next morning, He Yuzhu came to the winery early to work as usual. Nearly a hundred jars of wine that needed to be taken out of the cellar in the near future were waiting for his personal supervision.
In the winery, He Yuzhu stood quietly by the wine cellar, watching the workers carefully moving the wine jars. He was filled with emotion, as if these wine jars were his own children, and each bottle of wine carried his hard work and dreams. In this world, what can bring a greater sense of accomplishment than brewing wine yourself?
Gradually, he fell into deep thought, his thoughts drifting back to his recent argument with Xu Huizhen. He knew that Xu Huizhen had given a lot to the family: not only had to take care of the children, but also had to deal with the troubles in the courtyard, which put her under tremendous pressure. He felt guilty for not being able to help much. At this time, he silently vowed to work harder to make the family better and create a happy future for Xu Huizhen.
Suddenly, a worker came over and asked, "Boss He, do you want to try blending these aged wines?"
He Yuzhu came back to his senses and replied with a chuckle: "No, we'll keep the old wine for other uses." At the same time, he secretly decided in his heart: in addition to working hard, he must also learn more winemaking knowledge and techniques. Only in this way can he create a better life for his family.
Walking into the wine cellar, the unique rich aroma hit him in the face, which made him feel cheerful. In his eyes, every wine jar is like a witness to history - they record the past years and also hold beautiful expectations for the future. So he decided to develop a new high-quality wine. For this purpose, he consulted books and materials, visited old artists, and asked for professional knowledge. His goal is not only to inherit the family tradition, but also to establish a famous winery for Xu Huizhen.
During all this, He Yuzhu often found opportunities to talk with his wife, share his thoughts and beliefs, and emphasize the special meaning of these wines to them - this is part of their love story, and each bottle represents his love for Xu Huizhen. Whenever he talked about this, he felt extremely warm and relieved when he saw the tears of emotion flashing in her eyes.
At this moment, as the two of them were gently watching their son sleeping in bed, a sudden piece of news broke the tranquil scene. An employee was seriously ill and needed a high amount of medical expenses. The workers generously donated money to help, and He Yuzhu took the lead in taking out a sum of cash - 500 yuan was not a huge amount, but it was the best he could do.
Facing this, Xu Huizhen did not stop him, but understood and recognized his choice. At this moment, she knew that this was not just a simple matter of helping a sick colleague, but also a gesture of sincerity from He Yuzhu as a factory owner and husband. "As long as you are by my side to support me, all difficulties will pass," she said, holding her husband's hand tightly. The two of them stared at their son together, their hearts full of beautiful visions.
In the days that followed, the couple continued to walk the road of winemaking side by side, welcoming the sunshine of the future through the ups and downs.
She secretly prayed that the employee would recover as soon as possible. Not long after, a miracle happened and the employee actually recovered.
This good news made He Yuzhu and Xu Huizhen extremely relieved. They knew that their efforts during this period were not in vain. It was with their sincerity and hard work that they won the support and trust of the workers. The atmosphere in the winery became more harmonious, and everyone worked more motivated. Looking at the busy and orderly workers around him, He Yuzhu felt grateful and proud.
He knew that all this was inseparable from Xu Huizhen's support and encouragement, and he was determined not only to fight for himself and his family, but also to give more for the workers who trusted and supported him. Since then, He Yuzhu began to actively pay attention to social welfare and participate in various charity activities. He deeply realized that an excellent entrepreneur must not only have financial strength, but also have a strong sense of social responsibility. He hopes that his efforts can give back to society and help more people in need.
In addition, he also started to build a wine brand, hoping to combine traditional winemaking techniques with modern elements to create unique fine wines.
However, just as he was about to make great plans, a new problem suddenly came up. It turned out that Xu Huizhen's distant relative owed a debt and used her name as collateral. When the debt was due and he was unable to repay it, he disappeared. The creditor had no choice but to find Xu Huizhen.
Realizing the severity of the situation, He Yuzhu first comforted the worried Xu Huizhen and decided to get more information in private. Through the guidance of an old acquaintance, he learned that the relative had borrowed money for business and then ran away after the failure.
After searching everywhere without success, the creditor could only focus on Xu Huizhen. After learning the truth, He Yuzhu couldn't help but frown, thinking to himself: "This relative is really bold!" Although he was unhappy, he quickly made an action plan. He reminded himself to stay calm and not tell Xu Huizhen yet, "so as not to cause her more trouble."
Afterwards, he left the introduction of his acquaintance and went to find the relative who was hiding to find out his specific intentions. "I'll go and have a good talk with this relative!" After saying this, he left to look for relevant clues.
When He Yuzhu arrived at Lao Hu's house, he found it in a mess. Apparently, someone had destroyed it because they couldn't find the creditor. After asking the owner of a nearby store, he learned the whole story - the relative ran away from the store because he owed money, which led to the store being smashed.
After learning the details, He Yuzhu was furious, but still acted rationally. When he left, he left his contact information and asked his boss to keep an eye on the relative's movements.
After returning to the pub, he saw Xu Huizhen's lover waiting for him who came home late. Facing his wife's concerned question, "Why did you come home so late?" He Yuzhu's expression was a little solemn, and he looked at her with a bit of worry, and at the same time he was hesitant whether he should tell her about his discovery today immediately.
He Yuzhu was thinking about how to start talking and how to tell Xu Huizhen the news. She looked at him quietly, with a hint of uneasiness in her eyes.
She noticed that He Yuzhu seemed to be in an abnormal mood, but she didn't know what happened. "Huizhen, let's go out for a walk." He finally broke the silence. Xu Huizhen nodded in agreement, and the two left the pub together. Walking in a quiet alley, He Yuzhu stopped.
He looked at Xu Huizhen, took a deep breath, and then slowly said: "Huizhen, I found your long-lost relative." A glimmer of hope flashed in Xu Huizhen's eyes, but she did not interrupt He Yuzhu's narration.
"But their family is in a very difficult situation now. The small shop they ran before was smashed by creditors because they were in debt, and now even the people are nowhere to be found." His voice became low.
Hearing this, Xu Huizhen was stunned. She had never expected that her relatives would encounter such a predicament, and worry and concern instantly surged in her heart.
"I know this is a heavy blow to you, but don't worry too much." He Yuzhu looked at her firmly. Xu Huizhen read his thoughts from his eyes and nodded silently.
"I will talk to the creditor to see if we can negotiate a plan to postpone the repayment. Installment payment is also an option." His voice was a little hoarse. At this moment, she felt bitter in her heart - this matter was too difficult, but she also deeply understood the efforts He Yuzhu had made for her. She didn't want him to bear all the burdens alone.
"Okay, I'll go with you." She responded with a slightly trembling but still resolute voice. Seeing her attitude, He Yuzhu was filled with gratitude.
He knew that this was extremely difficult for her, but only in this way could she face and solve the current dilemma. The next morning, He Yuzhu and Xu Huizhen came to the creditor's address, and after several inquiries, they finally found the other party's residence.
It was a dilapidated house that had been neglected for a long time. When they entered the house, they were greeted by a noisy environment, with several men and women drinking and playing cards inside. Seeing the two people coming, the creditor's face darkened.
"Are you here to pay back the money?" he asked in a cold tone.
He Yuzhu shook his head: "No, we hope to discuss postponing the repayment." "Discuss? Do you think it's so easy to extend the deadline?" The creditor's face became more and more ugly, and he slammed the table and said, "If you don't settle the payment today, don't even think about leaving here."
This made He Yuzhu and the others suddenly nervous. He knew that the upcoming negotiation would be an extremely difficult battle. So he took a deep breath and responded calmly:
"We also know that borrowing money should be rewarded, but we do need some time to raise funds." "If we are given a certain interest rate and can extend the repayment period..."
After hearing this, the creditor smiled coldly.
"Interest? This is not like buying vegetables in the market, do you think you can bargain casually?" This sentence made He Yuzhu feel annoyed, but it was crucial to remain calm at this moment and place.
"We are not here to bargain, but we hope to jointly discuss a result that is acceptable to both parties."
After hearing this, the creditor raised the corners of his mouth slightly and revealed a playful smile.
“It’s OK to postpone the repayment, but you need to provide collateral.”
He Yuzhu's heart sank, knowing that there was nothing valuable in his home that could be used as collateral. He forced himself to remain calm, stared at the other party and said, "Although we have nothing to mortgage, we are willing to find a guarantor."
The creditor snorted: "Guarantor? Do you think this is just a game? Who will guarantee you?"
He Yuzhu took a deep breath: "We will find a guarantor."
The other party showed a hint of sneer: "Since you don't know how to advance or retreat, don't blame me for being rude!" After saying that, he slammed the table: "Break their hands and feet!"
He Yuzhu quickly stood in front of Xu Huizhen to protect her. Several debt collectors rushed forward and punched him. Xu Huizhen was terrified and hugged He Yuzhu tightly and cried. Seeing that the situation could not be improved, He Yuzhu had to fight back.
He pushed Xu Huizhen away and punched the first person who came forward in the face, knocking him down. Several other people rushed over to attack, but He Yuzhu responded flexibly and took the opportunity to fight back.
