Chapter 267 Discussion
Around ten o'clock in the evening, Chu Xuan, Mu Chenze, Fu Qing and Mu Chenfu had just entered the house when they saw Mu Qinlao standing in the yard smoking.
It is rare to see Mu Qinlao smoking.
Everyone knows him, and this is a difficult decision to make.
Mu Qinlao also saw them and took the initiative to ask, "How did you do on the exam?"
Fu Qing sighed, "Chen Ze did well in the exam, but Xiao Xuan and I failed."
To fail a test means to do very poorly on it.
Mu Qinlao extinguished the cigarette in his hand and pointed to the main room, "I'll go inside and talk to you about something."
Mu Chenfu yawned, "Dad, is there anything that can't be discussed tomorrow? We have to go out to sea early in the morning. Let's go to bed early!"
"We have to talk about this tonight." Mu Qinlao shouted towards the bedroom, "Mahua, come to the living room!"
Qin Mahua walked into the main room with red eyes, obviously having just cried.
After everyone sat down, Mu Qinlao suppressed his anger and said, "Your mother wants to lend 20,000 yuan to your uncle. Do you agree? You must give us a word tonight."
Chu Xuan held his forehead with his hand, it was true.
This happened in her previous life, and she was the first to speak out against it.
Seeing that she objected, her sister-in-law and brother also raised their objections.
Mu Qinlao also objected.
Only Mu Chenze and Qin Mahua agreed to lend money to Qin Chao.
The minority obeyed the majority and ultimately did not lend the money to Qin Chao.
Qin Chao had to borrow money from loan sharks. He did make money later, but he also paid high interest. Otherwise, he would have earned more.
Later, when Qin Chao became rich, he treated the Mu family well because Qin Mahua had secretly subsidized him before.
The amount of money borrowed this time was quite large, and Qin Mahua couldn't afford it, so she had to discuss it with her family.
Seeing that his family members were silent, Mu Qinlao slammed the table and said, "Let me make it clear first, I don't agree!"
Chu Xuan and Mu Chenze looked at each other, and Mu Chenze whispered to his wife, "I'll listen to you on this matter."
Chu Xuan felt emotional. In his previous life, he had gone against her on this matter, but in this life, he completely listened to her.
Fu Qing and Mu Chenfu also looked at each other and whispered to each other, and concluded that they should listen to Xiao Xuan's opinion first.
Mu Chenfu and his wife looked at Chu Xuan almost at the same time.
Qin Mahua also looked at Chu Xuan.
Mu Qinlao saw that everyone was looking at Chu Xuan, so he also looked over.
Chu Xuan suddenly felt that he had a heavy responsibility.
He coughed twice to ease the awkward atmosphere, "Dad, Mom, can you first tell us why your uncle wants to borrow 20,000 yuan?"
Qin Mahua said softly, "He met a professor and learned abalone farming technology. It requires an initial investment, but it will pay off in a year."
Chu Xuan admired him, "Uncle is amazing! Abalone farming is a great way to make money, we should support it!"
The helplessness on Qin Mahua's face was replaced by excitement. His second daughter-in-law was supportive. "Xiao Xuan, I only know that this business can make money, but I can't tell you how. If you know, please tell our family."
Chu Xuan didn't know much about abalone farming techniques, but from her past life, she knew that those who farmed abalone early on became wealthy. "I can't really explain it, but I've heard from several bosses that if abalone could be farmed artificially, it would definitely be profitable."
Mu Qinlao suddenly said, "What if the fish die? What if we lose money? When will your uncle pay us back? We need to save money to buy a better fishing boat. There are plenty of seafood in the sea, why do we have to farm them artificially?"
Mu Chenze smiled, "Dad, I also think I should lend money to my uncle. You know the price of abalone. Besides, you also know how rare it is to catch abalone every time you go out to sea. Catching abalone depends on luck. You can only catch a few in ten days or half a month. You have encountered this before. Artificial breeding is different. You can get as many as you want."
Seeing that Chenze and Xiaoxuan both supported lending money to their uncle, Mu Chenfu and his wife also expressed their opinion, "We both agree to lend money to our uncle."
Qin Mahua quickly said, "I agree too."
Mu Qinlao was very annoyed when he saw that no one was on his side. "Abalone grows for at least three years. Talk about a one-year payback period is just a lie."
Chu Xuan had seen in his previous life that abalone could be shipped after 9 months to a year of artificial breeding.
"Dad, I heard that farmed abalone grows faster than wild ones. Some can be shipped in just nine months."
Mu Chenze also agreed repeatedly, "Yes, I have heard of it too."
In fact, he had never heard of it, and he just wanted to form a united front with his wife.
Mu Qinlao was left speechless.
In the end, the minority obeyed the majority, and the family lent 20,000 yuan to Qin Chao.
In fact, Qin Mahua no longer had 20,000 yuan in her hands, and she needed to take this opportunity to pay off the two times she had secretly lent money to Qin Chao before.
Qin Chao wants to borrow 13,000 yuan this time.
Qin Mahua only has 13,000 yuan left.
After the discussion, everyone decided to go back to the house to rest.
Mu Qinlao said unhappily, "I want to rest tomorrow and not go out to sea!"
He was unhappy that his wife had lent the money he had worked so hard to earn to her parents' home.
Qin Mahua understood very well. "It's cold now, so stay home and rest! I'll take care of the household expenses! The village chief said he'll give me the dividends from the first batch of canned fish orders in the next two days."
Mu Qinlao couldn't help but curl his lips. "That's the deposit for canned fish. The production line hasn't even been built yet, and they're giving you dividends? What are you thinking? Even if he dares to give it to you, you can't take it! Isn't this hindering the village factory? You have to wait until the first batch of canned fish is delivered to General Manager Gu before you can get the dividends."
Chu Xuan stepped in to smooth things over. "How about this! Chen Ze and I will lend 3,000 yuan to my uncle, so that my mother can have 3,000 yuan left for the household expenses."
Fu Qing also hurriedly said, "Chen Fu and I will take out 2,000 yuan and lend it to uncle, so that mother can have some left."
Facing her two sensible daughters-in-law, Qin Mahua was moved to tears. "I want to tell your uncle that it's okay to forget my kindness, but he must never forget the kindness of his two nephews' wives."
Seeing that both daughters-in-law were willing to pay, Mu Qinlao felt much better. "I've thought about it and I still have to go out to sea tomorrow."
The atmosphere at home improved.
The next morning, after Chu Xuan and Mu Chenze got up, they did not see Mu Qinlao and Mu Chenfu, and guessed that they had gone out to sea.
Qin Mahua was not at home either.
Fu Qing was in the kitchen, preparing to serve breakfast to the main room.
Mu Chenze and his wife stepped forward to help.
After a while, the three of them were eating around the wooden table, omelet with pickles and millet porridge.
Fu Qing was in a good mood. While eating, he said, "My mother asked my uncle to go to the county town to get some money and order some farming supplies. He probably won't be back until around noon."
Chu Xuan took a sip of millet porridge and said, "Sister-in-law, Chen Ze and I will go to my mother's yard to continue making seaweed rolls. Are you going to the beach or do something else today?"
The Chinese New Year is just half a month away, so we need to prepare the New Year’s goods.
Fu Qing quickly swallowed a mouthful of bread and said, "Being busy with other things won't stop me from going to the beach. The harvest isn't as great as before, but I can still make a lot of money."
The cold and busyness could not stop Fu Qing's enthusiasm for going to the sea.
Chu Xuan suddenly changed her mind when she thought about the seaweed rolls that would break if not touched, "Forget it! I won't make seaweed rolls today. I'll go to the beach with you!"
