Chapter Twenty-Two Loan Contracts
That night, the two sisters squeezed into the lower bed. An Songyu listened to her younger sister's experiences of the day and couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement.
but……
"All of them are four hundred acres?"
At this moment, An Songxiang was completely in sync with her sister.
The two sisters held hands tightly for a while before comforting each other:
"We shouldn't be greedy. We already have a house and a household registration, so we shouldn't think about anything else for now."
"But didn't Dad make us sign the loan agreement?"
"Yes, it was indeed signed!"
"The money for leasing the orchard..."
While the two sisters were speculating like this, in An Jianping and his wife's room.
Bi Lizhu usually eats some fruit and watches TV after dinner.
As soon as we finished dinner tonight, I had my two daughters clean up and then called my husband back to the room.
In the afternoon, with her future daughter-in-law by her side, she temporarily stopped pressing the issue.
But now, she certainly won't give An Jianping that chance again.
As soon as the two sat down, Bi Lizhu asked directly:
"You said you took out a loan, but how much exactly? And how was the loan processed?"
Looking at his wife's expression, An Jianping knew he couldn't keep it a secret any longer.
So he stood up again and took out the several contracts he had carefully kept.
The contracts were stored separately in bags.
The first thing Bi Lizhu opened was An Jianping's loan contract and contracting agreement.
There are two other loan agreements.
One of them used their current house as collateral.
The other loan was secured using a village contract.
The two loans together amounted to a staggering 60,000.
No wonder he was so arrogant; he spent over 50,000 yuan just on the contract fee.
There was only one contract.
The mulberry-dike-fishpond system and the orchards are listed together, covering a total of 400 mu.
Looking at the remaining two bags, Bi Lizhu already had some idea of what was going to happen.
Sure enough, the two bags contained a contracting agreement and a loan agreement signed in the names of the two daughters, respectively.
The contract was actually not very interesting.
As Bi Lizhu had predicted, the mulberry-fish pond and the orchard each covered 100 mu.
But this loan agreement...
Bi Lizhu stared wide-eyed in disbelief: "What's going on? Could the loan amount be more than the contract payment?"
"The contract payment has only been made for one year so far!" An Jianping explained carefully.
He even pulled out his contract so his wife could look at it more closely.
The contract was for a term of thirty years.
However, apart from the first year, subsequent contract payments are made every two, three, or five years.
This was something that An Jianping and the village committee worked hard to obtain.
After all, he has very limited funds at hand and cannot afford to invest too much money in the contract.
This is why he immediately took charge of managing these mulberry-fish ponds and orchards after contracting them.
This was clearly stated in the contract.
Of course, this is also what An Jianping himself wanted to do.
Bi Lizhu still had a frown on her face.
She actually felt that what An Jianping was doing was far too risky.
Although the whole family verified that the demolition news that An Songyu had heard was very likely true.
But that was just one family going to verify the demolition news.
If there hadn't been news of the demolition.
I believe there are others like them who discovered these situations.
They won't end up like An Jianping.
Not only did they break their promise to their future in-laws, but they also squandered their entire fortune.
Now, it's not just him who's taken out loans; his two daughters are also involved.
The thought that even their house had been mortgaged made Bi Lizhu furious.
This is another example of An Jianping's audacity.
She was angry that he didn't even consult with her, his wife.
Besides, the fear deep in her heart was also about to overwhelm her.
Seeing his wife's reaction, An Jianping also felt a little regretful.
He quickly sat down next to Bi Lizhu, held his wife's hand tightly, and said earnestly:
"Lizhu, I didn't take out these loans without a plan!"
"According to my plan, as long as we manage the mulberry-fish ponds and orchards well, we will be able to pay off these loans even without demolition."
"It's just that we'll have to work a bit harder ourselves."
"Moreover, the repayment period will be longer."
"But what if the demolition news comes as we expect?"
"We will definitely be able to obtain a windfall."
"By then... at least the three children won't have to worry about money to buy a house like they do now."
"Besides, as I said last time, I don't intend to give up the idea of operating in this direction in the future."
"If we went to other villages, we might not have the same conveniences as we have now."
"So now that I still have the chance, I might as well give it a try."
"Let's see if I have enough ability to do this well."
"Let's also see what kind of difficulties we might encounter when doing these things."
“Lizhu, to be honest, although I grew up in the countryside, I have never personally taken care of these things.”
"I don't have enough confidence either!"
“I never even thought I would do these things before this.”
"But this time, I clearly didn't come with pure intentions."
"But it has gained recognition, expectations and help from many people."
"Sometimes when I think about it, I feel extremely ashamed."
"So, when I took out these loans... it wasn't that I didn't want to discuss it with you at all."
"Apart from the loan I took out by mortgaging my house, all the other loans were obtained with Uncle Lin's help."
“I was still working at the factory at the time. I was notified at the last minute and rushed over there to get these loans processed.”
"I admit, I did get a little carried away at the time."
"By the time they realized what was happening, the loans had already been processed."
"Later, I was worried that you would feel uncomfortable if you knew about these things, so I didn't bring it up for the time being."
"As you know, lately, apart from Lao Yao and Uncle Lin being able to help me with some things in Jiangcun, I have to take care of everything else."
"After a while, I really forgot about these things."
Seeing that Bi Lizhu's expression finally softened slightly, An Jianping quickly pressed on:
"Lizhu, think about it, what if I really wanted to hide it from you?"
"When you were planning to go to Jiangcun, how could I not find various reasons to stop you?"
"When you came to Jiangcun and came with us to see the mulberry fields, fish ponds, and orchards, I didn't hide anything from you, did I?"
"So you didn't stop it at all! If you had stopped it even once, just look at what would have happened!" Bi Lizhu gritted her teeth and glared fiercely at An Jianping.
Considering that he had never done anything like this before, she reluctantly suppressed the complicated thoughts in her heart.
Those things from before are already missed.
And without her knowledge, An Jianping had invested so much of his fortune.
After that, Bi Lizhu no longer dared to let An Jianping handle the situation.
In the days that followed, whenever the An family had a day off, they would go to Jiang Village.
Only An Songlin and his companion found a day when they could both take leave to go to An Village to complete the contracting process, and then they didn't have much time left.
The young couple got married on May 1st this year.
The couple originally planned to finish the wedding preparations during the time after the Lunar New Year.
However, they did not expect that because of these things in Jiangcun, they had already wasted more than half of their time.
Next, in the limited time of April.
The couple took wedding photos and prepared their wedding attire, jewelry, and other items.
Throughout the entire process, the An family members were hardly able to offer much help.
The Xuan family naturally had some objections to this.
However, Xuan Ying and An Songlin concealed this from her.
The Xuan family had not discovered this before the wedding.
