Chapter 1342: Chapter 1368: Collective Protest
As soon as they returned, before they could catch their breath, the fishermen working in the Kang Quan area collectively protested, wanting to resign.
The reason was that on Nianyang’s side, the harvest was underway, and it was clear they were about to prosper.
They can’t make any income on this island daily anymore, and the monthly salary and supplies are getting less and less.
Originally, seeing everyone in the same situation, they could endure, but now, people always strive for better, so the fishermen chose to turn to Nianyang and Li Tingyan.
This made Kang Quan fuming, but there was nothing he could do, so he could only watch helplessly as the fishermen under him collectively abandoned their jobs and headed toward Nianyang’s side.
Of course, only those with thick skin and who are realistic left, while a small number who cared about sentiments, although tempted to leave,
barely stayed because they had worked for so long, but Kang Quan knew these remaining ones wouldn’t last much longer.
The profits were already poor, and now that most of the fishermen had left, completing future tasks was going to be even more difficult.
Kang Quan was extremely anxious, but there was no solution, so he took out his anger on Ni Jia, "It’s all because of you, telling me not to interfere. Look at the result now, Li Tingyan and his team succeeded! They’re about to gain the usage rights of the island, and Li Tingyan will become the chairman!"
Ni Jia was filled with hatred, but at this moment, had no room for rebuttal, and Kang Quan continued to scold her,
"Look at what use you are. You’re a doctor.
Li Tingyan’s wife is also a doctor, but she could figure out ways to improve the land and harvest crops, and what about you?
All you do is sabotage. My grand plans have all been ruined by you!"
Ni Jia hated being compared unfavorably to Nianyang, her eyes reddening as if they were filled with blood,
"So what if the seeds have only just sprouted? Who knows if they’ll really harvest!"
"Enough, haven’t you had enough face-slapping yet?"
Kang Quan slapped her, "I listened to your sweet talk, which led me to constantly indulge myself, causing this outcome. Now, I’m going to lose my position, and don’t think you can rely on me to leave this place. You can stay here and wait for your end."
Ni Jia panicked, "No, no way! You can’t abandon me. Although I haven’t solved the problems for you, I also helped relieve your worries. I’ve sacrificed my body for you, you can’t burn bridges after crossing the river!"
"It’s not me burning bridges after crossing the river, it’s that I’m barely able to protect myself now!"
Kang Quan scoffed coldly, "The matter has come to this, the outcome between Li Tingyan and me is decided. Once their crops are harvested, it will be time for me to leave. I can’t help you!"
"Then just make sure their crops don’t grow, isn’t that enough?"
"You think?"
Kang Quan’s eyes flashed, a malicious beast inside him aiming to claw its way out.
Ni Jia viciously suggested, "Send people secretly to destroy their soil, so their seeds can’t grow. That way, they won’t succeed!"
The two were heatedly discussing, unaware they were on a path to self-destruction, running headlong into it.
Meanwhile, Jiang Tian, whose due date is only ten days away, continues to stay alone in the Lu Family’s empty home.
Her life now is very dull, her daily routine consisting of eating, drinking water, and then attending expectant mother classes on time.
The rest of the time, she’s in a daze at home, occasionally dealing with comforting phone calls from family members.
On the phone, Jiang Tian pretends that her days with Lu Xingshen are very happy, making her parents especially pleased.
Liu Qian promised Jiang Tian she would return in time to accompany her on the day of childbirth.
