Chapter 111
Su Xiaotao realized the seriousness of the matter, so she asked Zhao Qing for half a day off and drove to the planting base.As soon as she entered the village, she saw several people standing on the side of the road. Judging from their expressions and actions, they seemed to be arguing.
In addition to Chen Tao and his companions, there were two more unfamiliar faces.
Su Xiaotao frowned. What happened?
She parked the car on the side of the road, and before she got out, Chen Tao walked over with an angry look on his face.
"What's going on?" Su Xiaotao got out of the car, stared at him and asked.
Before Chen Tao could answer, two strange men and women came over. The man was about 27 or 28 years old, short and fat, and looked very smart.
The woman was about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, with a permed afro, wearing a leather jacket and bell-bottom pants, and was plump and fair-skinned. The two of them looked like a couple.
The man looked Su Xiaotao up and down, then said, "Are you the boss of the planting base? I'm telling you, we won't rent the land to you anymore, please leave."
Su Xiaotao's eyes suddenly turned cold, and she sneered, "I'm afraid you don't have the final say on this matter."
"Why doesn't what I said count? The land you rented is from my family, and my father is in charge of the vegetable field." The man stared at Su Xiaotao with a smug look on his face.
It turned out that they were Zhang Laogen’s son and daughter-in-law. It was the end of the year and the factory was on holiday, so they all came back.
Zhang Laogen had told them before that his family’s land was rented out to someone to grow vegetables.
The couple thought how much money they could make from growing vegetables? At most, they could earn a thousand yuan a year, so they didn't care too much.
But after they came back, Zhang Laogen drank a few more glasses of wine at night and showed off to his son and daughter-in-law, telling them not to underestimate growing vegetables, as they could sell them for thousands of dollars a day.
"These vegetables can be sold for thousands of dollars a day? That's impossible, Dad. You must be drunk and bragging." Zhang Hua said in disbelief.
"What kind of vegetables are so precious that they can be sold for thousands of dollars a day? Your father likes to talk nonsense when he is drunk, don't believe him." Zhang Laogen's daughter-in-law Liu Xiang took a mouthful of rice and said with a slightly sarcastic expression.
"What I said is true. The vegetables grown in our fields taste really good and their prices are twice as high as those sold outside. There are people coming to collect the vegetables every morning, so we have no trouble selling them." When Zhang Laogen was questioned by his son and daughter-in-law, he was so angry that he slammed the table and said confidently.
The couple looked at each other, still a little bit unconvinced.
"Your father is not lying. Those vegetables can indeed be sold for a lot of money in a day." Zhang Laogen's wife testified for him.
"Do you know why I know this? The vegetable vendor told me that day that cabbage can be sold for three yuan per pound, spinach for five yuan, tomatoes for five yuan... He asked me to order more vegetables so that during the Chinese New Year, I can sell thousands more yuan a day."
Hearing Zhang Laogen say this, Zhang Hua and his wife were stunned with surprise.
Oh my God, is this true?
