Switched Marriage: The Coddled Little Wife-Chapter 233 Chicken Plague

"Ah! Didn’t I remind the chicken farms before to vaccinate? Why is there still an outbreak of chicken plague, could the vaccines be ineffective?"

Lin Chuxia was directing, and Qin Han poured disinfectant straight into the sprayer, using it to disinfect the car.

Hearing Zhang Guilan’s words, she shook her head, "It’s not necessarily the vaccines; it’s likely that most of the chicken farms in Huang Family Camp didn’t vaccinate."

"How do you know?"

Lin Chuxia smiled at Zhang Guilan, "It’s just a guess, we need to see the situation in other chicken farms. If all of the farms have this issue, then it points to a problem with the vaccine. Otherwise, the problem lies with Huang Dashun."

Huang Family Nutritional Chicken Farm was their first cooperative farm, originally centered around a small, family-run operation.

Later, as their demand for cooked food grew, the person in charge, Huang Dashun, also began to expand the farm.

What can one say about Huang Dashun? Being able to run a chicken farm on his own since the early days of reform and opening up, he had both brains and boldness, but he was somewhat arrogant.

This was one of the reasons Lin Chuxia rejected his request to increase the contract quantity after Xiyang Food Factory was established this year.

The biggest flaw of an arrogant person is their self-righteousness, not listening to others.

In the spring, she had asked Hou Xiaobao to remind all the chicken farms to make sure they vaccinated; she now suspected that Huang Dashun hadn’t taken this seriously, which led to today’s consequences.

After listening to Lin Chuxia’s analysis, Zhang Guilan breathed a sigh of relief, "Hopefully, it’s just a personal issue with Huang Dashun."

If the vaccine were problematic, the consequences would be unimaginable.

After disinfecting the small truck, Lin Chuxia then had Qin Han spray disinfectant on them.

"Take a shower and change clothes when we get back, and then we can head out again."

The smell of disinfectant isn’t pleasant.

After bathing and changing, Lin Chuxia first sent Zhang Guilan to the Bun Shop.

She and Jia Yuanliang had agreed to meet there, but given today’s situation, she definitely couldn’t go to the Northwest.

She then sent Qin Han to find Qin Jiang. Qin Jiang was in charge of the chicken farms in Qin Family Village. Having previously reminded him to vaccinate the chickens, and now with the outbreak discovered, it was crucial to manage rigorously and remain vigilant.

After arranging these two tasks, Lin Chuxia and Hou Xiaobao went to Xiyang Food Factory together.

Just upon arriving at the factory, from afar they saw a security guard stopping someone.

Hou Xiaobao’s face changed drastically upon seeing the person and he stammered, "Wh-what... why is Huang Dashun in the food factory?"

Before, he hadn’t realized anything and was just worried about the chicken farm epidemic affecting their food factory’s production.

Just now, at Mr. Lin’s house, Mr. Lin has disinfected their vehicle and them; only then did Hou Xiaobao realize the horrifying spread of chicken plague.

Lin Chuxia also frowned and quickly walked forward.

Seeing Lin Chuxia, Huang Dashun immediately complained, "Mr. Lin, it’s good that you’re here. I was just trying to find Factory Director Su at the factory, but the security guard wouldn’t let me in, saying I’m not part of the food factory. But I guess it’s fine to discuss this matter with Mr. Lin."

He glanced at Hou Xiaobao with dissatisfaction, "I’ve been saying we’ve been long-term partners. Since Mr. Lin started the cooked food business, our chicken farm has been supplying the dressed chickens, and it’s all clearly written in black and white. Today, Houzi came to pick up the chickens and stubbornly said my chickens were not up to par, wouldn’t even explain why when asked, just turned around, got in his car, and left. Tell me, I had 200 dressed chickens ready to go, who’s going to buy them now?"

It seemed he was worried that Lin Chuxia would take Hou Xiaobao’s side, so Huang Dashun gripped the contract tightly, snapping it loudly and waving it at the gathered onlookers.

"It’s a good thing we had a contract in advance, saying that Mr. Lin’s factory is getting bigger and bigger, we also need to follow the contract, right? I’ve been doing things properly all year round, doesn’t Mr. Lin owe me an explanation?"

Summers are hot, and the villagers all get up early to work in the fields.

With Huang Dashun making a scene, a crowd had already gathered around to watch the excitement.

Though they were villagers from Qin Family Village and wouldn’t believe Lin Chuxia would do something to cheat an honest person, they were all curious to see what would happen.

Carrying hoes and carrying baskets on their backs, they looked towards Lin Chuxia, waiting for her to say something.

Lin Chuxia kept her distance from Huang Dashun, feeling pressured by his aggressiveness, she once again decided in her heart that this partnership could not continue.

It wasn’t that because Xiyang Food Factory had grown that the suppliers had to pander to them, but with someone like Huang Dashun, who knew there were issues with his chickens yet still came to argue so boldly.

Such a person would be very troublesome if any issue arose.

Thinking back to when she first dealt with Huang Dashun, he was very polite and humble.

After all, his business had grown and made money, or maybe he thought that Xiyang Food Factory couldn’t do without him.

"Boss Huang, don’t worry. Since you’ve come with the contract to seek an explanation, you should also be clear that our contract clearly specifies the standards for food raw materials."

Upon hearing this, Huang Dashun obviously stiffened, but quickly masked the trace of guilt in his eyes, and stiffly said.

"I know all this, we’ve been partners for almost a year, and we’ve always been up to the standards, I can’t be wrong about this. Don’t believe me, Mr. Lin can go see for himself, or I can bring the chickens over..."

"No need," Lin Chuxia interrupted Huang Dashun.

Bringing diseased chickens to Xiyang Food Factory?

Even if the factory wouldn’t let them through the door, Qin Family Village still has chicken farms, and the villagers have their chickens, this is not to be taken lightly.

Seeing Lin Chuxia decisively reject his offer, Huang Dashun seemed to find a reason for his argument.

"What does this mean, Mr. Lin? Could it be, despite having it written in black and white, you want to breach the contract? It’s known that Mr. Lin’s business is booming, but you cannot bully honest people like this."

Although the surrounding crowd were all from Qin Family Village, there were those who envied the Qin family’s increasingly prosperous life.

Particularly Ma San, whose son had applied to work at the food factory but was rejected just a few days ago, was feeling upset.

Seeing there was trouble at the food factory, he appeared to be relishing in their misfortune.

"To me, Qin Yang’s wife is nothing special, having signed a contract in black and white and now going back on her word, just bullying others using the power of being from Qin Family Village."

However, his words did not garner agreement from those around; instead, they all stepped back from him, and a meddlesome older woman spoke up, "I say, Ma San, do you have three eyes like Lord Ma or what? The matter hasn’t been clarified yet, and you’re already blaming Qin Yang’s wife? If you’re so capable, you might as well become a judge at the courthouse."

"Aunt Qin is right, Ma San you better not be resentful, us folks from Qin Family Village do protect our own. Even if the matter hasn’t been clarified yet, once it’s clear if there’s a mistake it will be pointed out, but we won’t allow outsiders to come and harass or bully anyone."
