Chapter 1699: Chapter 1092: Heroine of the Republic 66

An Yi appeared to be in a good mood after driving the people away, but in reality, she was well aware that she had unwittingly made an enemy. However, the Zhang family’s kind of cancerous existence, even if she didn’t help to remove it, wouldn’t end well in a few years. It all depended on how extensive their network was. If it was ironclad, perhaps they could progress further, but if they’re just paper tigers, they’d definitely be the first lambs to the slaughter.

An Yi never intended to sit and wait for calamity. Once that outrageous family left, she handed the children over to An Hu to take care of, rode out on a bicycle, disguised herself in a secluded place, and then cycled to the county’s only slaughterhouse with eggs in tow.

Though it was the county’s only state-run unit, its scale was not small. This county wasn’t small after all, managing around a dozen surrounding villages and three or four production teams. The task pigs sent over were all processed by this slaughterhouse. If it were small, how could it dare to be so rampant?

So it was easy for her to find the family compound of the slaughterhouse. In this era, there were hardly any buildings, especially in the Northeast. Buildings required collective heating, and the installation of collective heating for compounds was considered troublesome in this era. So it was mainly bungalows or adobe houses. Under the guise of selling eggs, she inquired about the location of the factory director’s family and incidentally learned about their household situation. However, it seemed their relations weren’t great; the Old Lady gnashed her teeth when mentioning Old Lady Zhang.

An Yi had no interest in listening to their old, trivial matters. After selling the eggs, she quickly left, but looked back at the slaughterhouse’s reputed best-located and largest house courtyard, contemplating how to uncover the weaknesses of this family.

Returning home in the evening, she began planning this matter. The next day, she went to work as usual, and upon arrival at school, was summoned to the office by the director.

"Teacher An, have you offended someone?"

An Yi had anticipated trouble when she heard her colleagues say the director was looking for her as she entered the office. And indeed, upon seeing the principal also present in the office, she realized this family had already started their revenge. Furthermore, such a blatant act of revenge showed they didn’t value her as a mere teacher at all.

After leaving the director’s office, An Yi began packing her things. Colleagues came over to ask for the reason, to which she simply gave a faint smile.

"It’s nothing; I might have offended someone. I’ll go back and temporarily take leave."

Later, she called Anna and Angel out and explained the whole story.

"You two don’t need to worry; I will handle this matter properly. I’ve already applied to the school for my dormitory to be kept until the end of the term for you. Trust me, everything else will be handled well."

Amid the worried gaze of the two sisters, she went to the nursery to pick up her two daughters, put the school’s belongings back home, and then calmly started preparing a sumptuous lunch for herself and her two daughters, showing no anxiety about the pause in her work.

Being a teacher, having a proper job was good, but if it became a tool for others to threaten her, she wouldn’t be happy.

The director and principal were intellectuals who appreciated her but couldn’t withstand the threats and tactfully suggested not to escalate matters, reminding her to think of her children and sisters who relied on her salary, and to consider apologizing to the other side as a more prudent option if possible.

In the afternoon, after having a full meal, fulfilling Factory Director Zhang’s expectations, she personally went to his slaughterhouse to seek a meeting with him. However, the security guard clearly told her that the factory director was in a meeting and unlikely to have time, suggesting she wait at the gate until he finished the meeting and allowed her inside.

This was a move to show her who’s boss, making her obediently wait here to find an opportunity to teach her a lesson?

An Yi didn’t give the other party this chance, and straightforwardly told the security guard.

"You go tell your factory director now, my time is very precious. If he doesn’t have time now, I won’t have time in the future either. Opportunities come only once; it’s him who wants to talk to me, not me to him; please clarify this sequence. I’ll give you ten minutes, and after that, I’m leaving."

The security guard, seeing such a brash woman for the first time, kindly reminded her.

"Comrade, are you sure this is your attitude when asking for help?"

An Yi politely smiled at him: "Comrade, I’m not asking for help. I’m merely giving him an opportunity to ask me. If he doesn’t cherish it, he can’t blame me for being ruthless!"
