Hearing his mother say this, Li Weidong understood the crux of the problem.

One bottle of spray is needed for each greenhouse, but she only used one bottle for three greenhouses.

How could this dosage be enough?

Zhao Xiulian realized she might have made a mistake and said with a mournful face, "Son, Mom didn't mean it. I never thought that using a little less would cause such a big problem. You should quickly ask your classmate how to treat this disease."

Li Weidong was anxious, angry, and frustrated as he listened to his mother's words.

But he also knew his mother's temper.

If she knew that the mushrooms had been wasted like this, she would be so angry that she would get sick.

"Mom, it's okay. I'll go to town to get some medicine and spray it again." Li Weidong told a kind lie.

"Really?" Zhao Xiulian asked uncertainly, "How about I go with you?"

"No need, Mom. I suddenly have a craving for dumplings. Can you make me some?"

"Alright, Mother will go knead the dough now." Zhao Xiulian forced a smile.

...

Mother turned and went into the main room to knead the dough.

After letting out a long sigh, Li Weidong picked up his shovel and headed towards the mushroom shed behind the village.

These two sheds of mushrooms have definitely been ruined...

Not only should the mushrooms be discarded, but the humus inside should also be dug out and exposed to the sun.

Yellow mushroom disease is caused by a fungus. Once infected, the fungus will remain in the soil and must be completely removed before the soil can be regrown.

Li Weidong was also heartbroken; these two sheds of mushrooms could have sold for five thousand yuan.

How could I not feel heartbroken!

No matter how much it pained him, he had to bear it all himself and couldn't let his mother know.

Once she finds out...

You'll definitely blame yourself, feel so bad you won't be able to eat or sleep, and might even get sick from the stress...

...

Li Weidong is troubled by the yellow mushroom disease.

At this moment, the situation at Tiger's house wasn't much better, but they weren't worried about the yellow mushroom disease; they were worried about finding a market.

When they first broke up with Li Weidong, they were still full of confidence, thinking that even without Li Weidong, they could still sell the mushrooms and even make more money.

After repeatedly hitting a wall, they became more docile and even began to regret their actions.

"Mom, if you ask me, you shouldn't have fallen out with your cousin Weidong in the first place. Even though you earned less, we could have stayed with him and lived comfortably. It was so much better! But you had to fight with him, and now look what happened! Our mushrooms can't be sold!"

"I already promised Xiaohong that I would give her family the betrothal gifts in a while. What am I going to do now?" Hu Zi complained.

The thought of not having the money to marry Xiaohong filled him with resentment.

"Shut up!" Wang Dahua glared angrily at her son. "Your mother was beaten by Li Weidong yesterday, and not only did you not stand up for me, but all you could think about was Xiaohong! How did I end up with such a useless son like you!"

"Mom, whose fault is that? It's because you went to their door and started yelling at them. Who could stand that? Let's hurry up and think of a way to sell the mushrooms."

"Then why don't you come up with a solution?" Wang Dahai glared at his son with exasperation.

"Mom, I've thought about it, but they don't want our mushrooms. What can I do?"

"Why can Li Weidong do it? Are you missing a leg or an arm? Didn't you pat your chest and say that all our mushrooms would be in your hands from now on?"

"this……"

Tiger was speechless.

He opened his mouth, unsure how to explain.

But just then, his pager went off.

After glancing at the information, he ran out with a look of delight, saying as he ran.

"Mom, someone called me and said they want some of our mushrooms. I'll go to the convenience store to make a call."

...

Ten minutes later, Tiger returned home with a look of delight on his face.

"Son, how's it going? Who wants our mushrooms?" Wang Dahua asked anxiously.

Do you remember Er Gouzi?

"The one who used to hang out with you all the time?"

"Mom, he's Dog Bro now. He runs a video arcade in the city. He's really something."

"Stop talking nonsense, is it him who wants our mushrooms?"

"It wasn't him, it was his second uncle. His second uncle runs a vegetable wholesale business in the city. When Brother Gou heard that our family grows mushrooms, he introduced him to the business."

"Is his second uncle reliable?"

"Reliable, absolutely reliable. I've met him. He was holding a mobile phone, not a pager. He looked so impressive, definitely a big boss."

"Really? That sounds pretty promising. How many kilograms does he need?"

“He wants as much as we have; he’s a wholesaler, and he has a huge appetite.”

"Our mushrooms will take another four or five days to fully mature, is that alright?" Wang Dahua asked with some concern.

"No problem, I asked about that. He said it would be best if we had the goods in stock, but if not, we can sign a contract and the price will be 80 cents."

"Eight cents? The price is not bad, but why do I need to sign a contract?" Wang Dahua asked, puzzled.

"Mom, you don't understand. They're big bosses, they have their own procedures... I asked Brother Gou, and he said the price of mushrooms has been fluctuating wildly lately."

They're afraid that what they agreed on might happen five days later, when the price of mushrooms goes up and they're no longer willing to sell to them. That would mean a huge loss for the seller...

Therefore, this contract must be signed. Signing it will protect both parties, and besides, they've already given us a deposit.

"Returning the deposit?"

Hearing her son say that, Wang Dahua breathed a sigh of relief.
