Chapter 193: Unanimous Objection

“Do you think Qiuying’s family will be able to sell all the vegetables they picked today?”
“That’s more than 800 catties! Even if they are selling it in the county town, how many people will buy from them?”
“But I heard Xiao Lingyu specially rented a shop in the county to sell vegetables!”
“Is it a shop or a stall?”
“It’s a shop!”
“A shop rental won’t be cheap. A good shop location costs several thousand per month and profit from selling vegetables is low. Will she get enough for rent?”
“Maybe she can find a way to make money? Otherwise, why would Xiao Lingyu rent a shop?”
“Hey, isn’t that Xiao Lingyu’s car? They’re back so soon? They’re already sold out?”
“That is Xiao Lingyu’s car. The vehicle behind is Xiao Mingyang’s truck. Both of their families have a vehicle. How impressive!”
“The car costs more than 100,000 RMB. Even Xiao Mingyang’s truck costs 70,000 to 80,000 RMB. It looks like Xiao Zhengyang and Xiao Mingyang have earned a lot over the years that they are willing to spend on luxury items like vehicles.” The villagers didn’t know about the installment payment method.
“Xiao Lingyu contracted land and built shed. She bought a car and rented a shop. She must have spent a lot. Just how much money Xiao Lingyu and Xiao Zhengyang have earned over the years. They seem to have endless money.”
“The girl is a university graduate. She knows how to earn money. I heard if you work in the big city, someone like Xiao Lingyu could earn up to ten thousand RMB per month. Xiao Lingyu had worked outside for years already, and she must have saved a lot of money.”
“So what? Money can’t buy her a husband. Xiao Lingyu got herself ruined while working in the big city. She won’t find a good family to marry in the future.”
“She can stay with her parents.”
“That’s easier to say than done. A girl needs to get married. It’s fine now since Xiao Lingye hasn’t gotten married. After he got married and his parents were old, do you think Xiao Lingye’s wife and children wouldn’t have comments about Xiao Lingyu staying with them? Do you think they wouldn’t mind an old spinster leeching off them?”
“You’re right. Sigh. That brat Chen Ran has really ruined the girl’s future.”
“Chen Dahua and his wife are both in jail. No one in the Chen Family is willing to take Chen Ran in. He was sent to the rescue station.”
“That’s quite pitiful!”
“Is it really though? He brought this upon himself.”
“That’s not true. Xiao Lingyu took revenge on him. Xiao Lingyu is really capable. Chen Dahua and his wife were powerful people, but she managed to topple them over. She didn’t even show them any mercy.” She was implying that Xiao Lingyu was ruthless and cold-blooded.
No one dared to say anything after that. The villagers understood that they couldn’t afford to offend Xiao Zhengyang’s family.
Xiao Jun was bitten by a poisonous snake not too long ago. If Xiao Lingyu didn’t offer to drive him to the county hospital, who knew what might happen to the young man. The villagers couldn’t guarantee that they wouldn’t need the Xiao Family’s help in the future.
Xiao Zhengyang’s family was not saints. They wouldn’t allow people to insult them without retribution.
Furthermore, Xiao Lingyu had contracted a big farm. She would need to hire people from time to time. If they had a good relationship with the Xiao Family, they would be considered first. Xiao Lingyu paid well too.
Therefore, no one agreed with the villager who slandered Xiao Lingyu. At that moment, Xiao Lingyu’s car passed by.
Everyone immediately greeted Xiao Lingyu and the others. “Qiuying, Lingyu, you’re back so early. are the vegetables sold out?”
Mother Xiao replied, “Yes!”
Liu Chunhua said excitedly, “We were sold out around noon! We rested at Lingyu’s place in the county town before we returned home.”
“Sold out around noon?” The villagers were shocked. “That’s so early! All 800 catties are gone just like that?” Did vegetables sell so well in the county town?
“Yes. You have no idea, but we don’t have enough stock to sell!” Liu Chunhua chuckled.
“800 catties of vegetables are not enough?” The villagers were even more surprised.
Liu Chunhua nodded and said. However, she didn’t go further than that. The most impressive thing was Yu ‘Er sold the vegetables at a high price, and she had earned several thousand RMB that day.
Money shouldn’t reveal itself.
Xiao Lingyu was capable because she was able to earn a lot. However, Liu Chunhua knew that it has caused some villagers to be jealous and envious. It would be bad if they decided to sabotage the farm.
Some of the villagers thought about bringing their own vegetables to the county town to sell once they heard that. Now that the road had been repaired, it was convenient to move between the two locations.
Chen Qiuying and Liu Chunhua chatted with the villagers some more before they returned home.
Xiao Lingyu was exhausted when she reached home. She laid down on the bed to rest.
In the same house, Mother Xiao and Liu Chunhua were preparing dinner. They chatted. Liu Chunhua began, “Second sister, I have no idea vegetables can sell so well. We should pick more to sell tomorrow! We barely have enough to sell today!”
Mother Xiao nodded. “But that depends on how large the harvest is. We are doing a daily harvest, but we only have six Mu of land.”
“You’re right.” Liu Chunhua nodded. “In the past, when Yu ‘Er revealed she was going to plant six Mu of vegetables, many villagers mocked her for wasting money. They said this would be a losing business. It was an insult to her education but look at things now…” Liu Chunhua laughed. “Yu ‘Er is wonderful! She managed to sell all the vegetables that normally would be left to rot in the fields. If others found out the truth, they would be so jealous.”
Mother Xiao was not as happy as her sister-in-law. If this happened before she knew about the farming space, she would be ecstatic. But now she knew the vegetables sell so well because of the spring water. Therefore, she was worried that the farming space would be found out and her daughter would be captured.
The better the vegetables sold, the more worried she was. They were becoming more well-known. It might attract the wrong attention. However, there was nothing she could do but be careful.
…
Xiao Lingyu already calculated the account when she was in the county town. She earned a total of 6776 RMB that day. It was a lie to say she was not excited. However, she knew she couldn’t gloat about it.
Perhaps it was because she was too tired. She fell asleep immediately.
…
“What? All 800 catties of vegetables are all sold out?” Father Xiao could not believe it.
“Haha. Second Brother, it’s not 800 catties but 1000 catties!” Xiao Mingyang was in a good mood. “The prices are not low, but people go crazy for them!”
Father Xiao would think this was a joke if it didn’t come from his brother. The vegetables sold well despite their high prices. This sounded like a joke.
“Oh right, Yu ‘Er, how much shall we harvest tomorrow?” Xiao Mingyang asked Xiao Lingyu.
“We’ll try to go for 1000 catties.” Xiao Lingyu said, “We’ll try to get that much every day. If we can’t, then we’ll sell as much as we have.” She couldn’t control plant growth after all.
Mother Xiao thought for a moment. “We should be able to get 1000 catties. However, after a few harvests, the amount will decrease. Yu ‘Er, once we finish picking these six Mu of land, what are we going to sell?”
Xiao Lingyu answered, “Mom, we’ll plant new vegetables to replace the ones that have been picked.”
Mother Xiao nodded. “There is going to be a down period, but it should be fine.”
Xiao Lingyu nodded and said, “It seems that six Mu of land is too little.”
Mother Xiao and the other three immediately looked at each other. Then, Father Xiao asked, “Yu ‘Er, do you plan to contract more land?”
Xiao Lingyu nodded and said, “That’s right. Six Mu is too small. It’s barely enough to supply the county town. If we want to expand our business, we need to have a greater production capacity. We need at least ten to twenty Mu of land.”
“Yu ‘Er, you want to expand the business? You want to sell further than the county town?” The four were shocked.
Xiao Lingyu said very seriously, “That’s right. I want to sell our vegetables across the nation!”
“Ah?!” This was a huge ambition. The four thought it was impossible. How huge must the farm be to supply the entire nation? Furthermore, the vegetables might not sell well in the other parts of the country.
It was unfathomable.
“We need to think bigger than renting land. I think we should try renting a few mountains,” Xiao Lingyu said after thinking for a while.
For most farmers, unless they had no other choices, they wouldn’t rent out their fertile land. This was because the farmers relied on the land for their livelihood. Once they rented out their land, what would they eat? After all, they farmed the land, not to sell but to feed themselves.
“Rent a few mountains?!” The four were stunned. They thought Xiao Lingyu was confused by the good start. She was getting too over-confident.
Mother Xiao immediately tried to dissuade her, “Yu ‘Er, we have to think about this matter carefully.”
The others immediately nodded, “Indeed, we have to think about it carefully. Renting mountains is not as simple as renting land.”
“Yu ‘Er, we really have to think about this matter carefully.” Father Xiao said very seriously. The biggest issue was the money involved. Renting a whole mountain wasn’t cheap. Then, they had to find people to develop the wilderness into farms. All of that would cost money.
Xiao Lingyu said the strawberries could sell for a million, but that was just a prediction. People had planted strawberries in the past. The fruits were often small and sour. No one wanted to buy them. Even if Xiao Lingyu’s harvest was good and sweet, how did she expect to sell several thousand catties at once? Did she plan to sell them at the shop over a long period? However, strawberries couldn’t be kept for long!
Therefore, Father Xiao didn’t think it was realistic to rely on the strawberries. Right now, he only hoped that his daughter would get back her capital.
Xiao Lingyu nodded. “Don’t worry.. I’ll think about this carefully!” However, she had already decided to rent some mountains once her first batch of strawberries was sold.
