"Aren't they going to stop accepting it? Then how can we cooperate?" Now even the village chief became curious.

Zeng Wenjuan didn't keep the secret any longer. She continued, "I saw it in the pharmacy. They also need other herbs, but the prices are very low. However, the quantity is large. We can become a credit union and directly cooperate with the pharmacy to contract the work. Although the profit is less than now, it can be done in the long run."

"This... is actually a good idea. If we want to set up a collective credit union, I can do it, but how can I guarantee that the pharmacy will give us this job?" the village chief asked back.

"I'll figure out a way to deal with this matter. Uncle Village Chief, you just need to apply for the collective credit union."

Zeng Wenjuan couldn't guarantee it before, but now she is 90% sure that she can get it. The remaining 10% is that if Chen Yitang falls out with Lin Baixiang, it will be impossible. However, this is unlikely to happen soon.

Zhao Maosheng looked at Zeng Wenjuan and felt that this little girl was different, which made him trust her even more. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. I'll take care of the rest."

After the matter was settled, the villagers' money was given out, and after everyone left, Zeng Wenjuan counted the remaining money.

"There are a total of 320 yuan here. Your 200 yuan is included. I will count it for you now and you can count it again." Zeng Wenjuan said to Zhao Hongtiao, and then counted the money and gave it to her.

Zhao Hongtiao did not refuse. After all, this was the money she deserved, which was earned by her and her sisters. Although they were good friends, she also counted it and confirmed the amount before she said to Zeng Wenjuan: "Yes, with this money, my sisters' tuition and book fees are all available. Thank you so much, Wenjuan. If you hadn't found such a way to make money, I'm afraid..." I would have sold myself.

"Oh, we are sisters, right? Moreover, if you hadn't helped me these years, I'm afraid I wouldn't have made it to this day. How could I let you make money? This is the blessing you deserve." Zeng Wenjuan said with a smile.

Zhao Hongtiao also laughed. Yes! This was all a blessing. It was her accidental kindness that brought her such a great blessing. She was so lucky. Only then did she believe that God was blessing her.

After seeing off the Zhao sisters, Zeng Wenjuan closed the door and started practicing calligraphy with Goudan. She also learned a few more characters and looked at the medicine book.

Goudan was sitting on a chair nearby, holding a pencil in his hand, writing crookedly in his notebook.

August 25, 1973, the weather was fine. My mother was amazing! She made a lot of money. In my heart, my mother was the most amazing person. But I was a little curious about what kind of person my father was. My mother said that he could hunt, barbecue, and fight the Japanese. I also wanted to be as amazing as her.

………

…

At the same time, the Zhao family.

Lin Beige was describing the situation vividly: "I finally know how your daughter makes money. She is collecting herbs there. She made a lot today. I saw through the crack in the door that the big stack of money might be more than 10,000 yuan, and she gave it all to other people. If we can grab this business, our family can also get a few thousand yuan."

Hearing this astronomical figure, everyone gasped. Especially Zhou Li, who couldn't help herself. She asked directly: "Auntie, is this true? You can't be lying to us. Buying and selling medicinal herbs is also a speculative business. Can we do it?"

"It must be true. They can do it. They said they are going to build a credit union. If our two families come together, can't we set one up too? We can earn several thousand dollars every month. Hey, we can build a brick house by then. It can be like the ones the rich used to live in." Lin Beige said arrogantly.

Zhao Zhaocai, however, saw things more thoroughly. He calmly analyzed, "They said they were going to build a credit union. It must be built by the whole village. Our two families can't build it at all. If we really sell herbs, it would be speculation. What's more, we may not be able to explain the pharmacy."

"What should we do? They don't even take some of the money they make with us. We can't just watch the villagers make money while we starve!" Lin Beige said angrily when he heard the rejection.

"They can meet. Of course we can meet with the credit union, but it won't work if we do it alone. We have to win over a village and then we don't know who will make more money! Aren't there two pharmacies in the county? We can just find another one." Zhao Zhaocai analyzed.

Ms. Deng grinned and clapped her hands, saying, "Oh, my son is so smart. He has known how to make money for the family since he was little. Now that he has grown up, he has a really amazing brain."

"Then we have to find another village. Which village should we choose? Our Zhaojia Village has been bribed, and we can't persuade them at all." Lin Beige said with a frown.

"There's also the village where my grandmother lives. Let's bring them along to make money together. How can they not agree? We'll get the bigger share and they'll get the smaller share." Zhao Zhaocai had already thought of a plan.

Father Zhao took a puff of his pipe and made the decision, "Son, I'll listen to you. Tomorrow you and your mother will go to your grandmother's village to talk to the village chief. Build the credit union first. That way we can talk business with the pharmacy."

"Okay... I'll go tomorrow, but if I ask the village chief of another village to do something for me, I'm afraid I'll have to give him some gifts. We have nothing at home. What good things can I give? What if he doesn't want to pay attention to us?" Zhao Zhaocai suddenly said with some concern.

Lin Beige said foolishly, "That's nothing. I just happened to have some eggs stored at home. I'll get them for you before it gets dark. You can just take them back tomorrow."

I was eager to make money, so I spent a little on eggs. Lin Beige thought it was nothing, but he didn't think much about the Zhao family. He had a son who was a soldier and sent money back every year. Everyone in the family was a laborer. How could they be short of money and food? If they were stupid, they would be used as stepping stones.

After it got dark, Lin Beige took advantage of the night to carry a basket of eggs and walked towards Zhao's house. When she got in, she put down the basket and said to the Zhao family, "Here are 20 eggs in total. You must get the job done tomorrow. Don't waste the eggs. If you can't, you must take the eggs back. Don't let others get them cheaply."
