Farming Space Makes Me Rich

Chapter 155: Competition

Translator: Lonelytree

There was a long period of peacefulness.

Xiao Lingyu shuttled back and forth between Taoyuan Village and the county town every day.

People started to know that Xiao Lingyu was selling vegetables in the county town. Because of her good business, she would go in the morning and return in the afternoon.

Mother Xiao was worried about her daughter, and she told Xiao Lingyu to live in the county town. Xiao Lingyu didn't agree at first. After all, there were more than 20 Mu of land to farm at home. Mother Xiao couldn't watch the huge farm on her own. Father Xiao still needed to rest.

However, Xiao Lingyu remembered the child in her stomach. She was in the early stages of her pregnancy. She needed to be very careful. Too much traveling was not good for her.

Therefore, she hired her fourth aunt and Auntie Zhou, or Xiao Chengbang's wife, to work for her. Auntie Zhou, her fourth aunt, and Mother Xiao would water the field every day. They only needed to water the farm once per day. Xiao Lingyu handed the bottles of spring water to Mother Xiao. She told her to pour the required amount of water into the watering can every day.

After that, Xiao Lingyu only returned every three days to restock her mother with spring water.

At the same time, Zheng Haiyang had already informed the owner of the shop that he would take back the shop. He required her to move elsewhere.

The owner, Liang Fengying, was furious and annoyed when she heard the news.

'This landlord is too much. I haven't even told him I didn't want to continue my lease. Why would he take back the shop?'

The shop had a good location, and she had good business. During the weekends and holidays, her shop would be full. She had good monthly profits. After she moved out, where was she going to find a spot as good as this?

Liang Fengying remembered hinting to the landlord that she wanted to rent the shop but with a lower rent. At the time, the landlord didn't say anything. However, one month later, he suddenly told her that he didn't want to rent her anymore and told her to move out. It was ridiculous. Where would she find a new shop and could it be better than this place?

Liang Fengying was unwilling to move. She asked Zheng Haiyang to allow her to continue renting. She wouldn't even ask for the rental discount anymore.

Zheng Haiyang said, "Based on my market research, the rent I gave you is already very cheap. Furthermore, based on our contract, the rental should be paid every three months. However, you always come crying to me, saying that business is bad and you don't have money. You begged me to give you more time. Since you can't make good money here, then why not move somewhere else? Perhaps your business will improve there."

Liang Fengying was simply slapped in the face by her previous words.

She actually had the money to pay the rent every time, but she wanted to save the money in the bank to generate interest. The interest for three months' rent was quite high.

Whenever she delayed the rent, she would wait until the next cycle. In other words, instead of paying once every three months, she would pay every six months. Furthermore, she would round down the amount. For example, if the rental was 130 RMB per month, she would pay 700 RMB instead of 780 RMB for six months.

Zheng Haiyang didn't mind it in the past because he didn't have the time. He was in the real estate business. He had to deal with many projects. Thankfully, he didn't have that many tenants like Liang Fengying, or he would be doing a losing business.
