Chapter 266 It's just a joke
Zhang Lanxiang held the letter in her hand and read it word by word.
"I'm fine recently, don't worry..."
When she read about using wasteland to build greenhouses, Zhang Lanxiang and Shang Lichun were stunned.
Especially Shang Lichun, he was idle all day and never cared about these things.
"What's a greenhouse?"
Zhang Lanxiang was better than him because she had seen a building covered with plastic sheeting in the backyard of Tan Chen's house. Everyone said it was called a greenhouse, but she had no idea how to build a greenhouse or how to take care of it.
Seeing Shang Lichun asking, she said weakly, "It is said that the one in Tan Chen's backyard is the greenhouse."
Tan Chen's home was in a remote area, and Shang Lichun only passed by there occasionally. He only knew that Tan Chen's family had built a grand brick house. As for the greenhouse in their backyard, he had never noticed it.
“What can a greenhouse do?”
Zhang Lanxiang felt a little unhappy when she saw Shang Lichun's ignorant look, but she still explained, "I heard the villagers talking about how their family made a lot of money from growing strawberries and vegetables in the greenhouse."
When Shang Lichun heard that he could make a lot of money by building a greenhouse, his eyes lit up instantly.
"Making money is good. Let's listen to Ruolian and turn those wastelands into greenhouses. When our family becomes rich in the future, we can be proud of ourselves."
After hearing what he said, Zhang Lanxiang could no longer suppress her anger.
"Ruolian's letter only mentioned building a greenhouse, but didn't explain how to do it. How are we going to build it?"
When Shang Lichun heard the news that he could make money, he saw Zhang Lanxiang getting angry but didn't argue with her.
"Just write back and ask Ruolian."
Zhang Lanxiang stood up and slammed the letter in front of him.
"Shang Lichun, ah Shang Lichun, what should I ask you to do?"
"What time is it now?"
"Other people have already started to cultivate their land, but our land has not been touched at all, and now we have to build a greenhouse."
"Forget about building a greenhouse. With the little money you have, you probably spent it all on alcohol. Now I'm afraid our family doesn't even have money to buy seeds, so how can we build a greenhouse?"
Shang Lichun hated Zhang Lanxiang's constant talk about money. He slammed the table and said, "If you don't have money, why don't you go to Ruolian and ask for help?"
"Why are you being so arrogant here?"
Zhang Lanxiang was not to be outdone: "Okay, I won't be arrogant with you. You are the boss of the family. Take the money!"
As she spoke, she extended her hand towards Shang Lichun.
Shang Lichun forcefully pushed Zhang Lanxiang's hand away: "I told you to find Ruolian to help. She and Qiao Yuan promised us that they would repay us double the money they lent us."
Zhang Lanxiang was amused by his words. Even if Qiao Yuan paid back double the money he had lent them, they had only lent him ten yuan, so double would only be twenty yuan.
What can I do with these twenty yuan?
It's a joke...
Zhang Lanxiang knew Shang Lichun's character too well. He was a reckless man with a head full of shit. She was too lazy to say too much to such a man.
Since the wasteland had been contracted out after much criticism, and Zhang Lanxiang couldn't rely on the incompetent man, she had to find a way out herself.
Although Shang Ruolan's help was of little help to her, she still had to write a reply.
No matter what, she had to know how to build a greenhouse.
So Zhang Lanxiang stopped talking to Shang Lichun and took the letter to another room to write a reply.
The reply has been written, but how do I solve the problem at hand?
The three of them currently share nine acres of fertile land. If they don't take care of it, it might be too late to plant crops.
But as a woman, how long would it take her to cultivate the nine acres of land?
Thinking of this, Zhang Lanxiang could only turn her attention to Shang Lichun and Shang Jianguo.
So, she went to Shang Jianguo's room again, pulled him out of the quilt, and went straight to find Shang Lichun.
"Tomorrow, both of you must get up early and plow the nine acres of land that our family has contracted."
When Shang Jianguo heard his mother asking him to go to work, his face frowned instantly.
"Mom, tilling the land is too tiring. I'm the only child in our family. If I get exhausted, how sad will you and Dad be?"
Although Shang Lichun could usually do some work, he instinctively refused to plow nine acres of land.
"Nine acres is too much land. I can't do it."
Seeing that the father and son had the same expression, Zhang Lanxiang could no longer remain calm.
"Shang Lichun, Shang Jianguo, you two men, are you still counting on me, a woman, to take care of the farmland?"
Shang Lichun rolled his eyes at her indifferently: "Don't you usually go out to work? Why do you have to drag us along now?"
Shang Jianguo also nodded: "That's right, Mom, just feel sorry for your son!"
Zhang Lanxiang pointed at the two and yelled, "I feel sorry for you, but who feels sorry for me?"
