Chapter 155: The Sucker Who Paid a High Price



A minute later, Jiang Yingxue turned on her cell phone and pressed 110.

Seeing she was serious, Hua Gumei hurried forward to stop her, saying, "No, no, we'll pay for it! Don't call the police, we'll pay for it!"

Jiang Yingxue put the phone back in her pocket and said, "Okay, transfer the money to the village public account now. It will still take 5 minutes."

Hua Gumei reached out to Jiang Xingpeng and took out the phone from his pocket. "What's the password?"

Jiang Xingpeng said unhappily, "Mom!"

Hua Gumei slapped him on the head and said angrily, "It's already this late, and you really want to go to jail, right?"

"Didn't you sell it for 20,000? Didn't you sell ours too? That would be 30,000, right?"

Jiang Xingpeng reluctantly gave out his password and said, "There's only 30,000 yuan in my bank card."

Hua Gumei didn't believe him, so she pressed the amount of 40,000 and entered the password, and the money was transferred out.

She looked at him with a sad and disappointed look. She raised her son and daughter the same way, so why did her son become so crooked?

"Hurry and take a look. I have already transferred the money."

After transferring the money, just as they were about to leave, a voice calling for a stop made them stop.

"Wait a moment!"

Jiang Yingxue pointed to the sack on the ground and said, "Pack it up before you leave."

"you!"

Jiang Xingpeng wanted to say something, but Hua Gumei glared at him and said, "Chaomi, take your son back, I'll do it." She would go back and clean up after her son.

Hua Gumei put the seeds on the ground back on the shelves one by one. Five of the bags were stepped on by Jiang Xingpeng, and Hua Gumei had to pay another 2,500 yuan in compensation.

The fertilizer store was founded by Jiang Yingxue, the secretary and the village chief.

Jiang Yingxue's priorities were her family and her business. The fertilizer store was her way of giving back to Nanhe Village, and she didn't want to take it all on herself, so she partnered with the secretary and the village head. Each of them was responsible for a portion of the fertilizer production, and the profits were split equally.

The partnership is for profit, but more for the development of the village.

A bag of seeds costs 500 yuan, and a bag of fertilizer costs 1,000 yuan. Villagers receive free seeds and fertilizer, so they shouldn't have to buy them. However, the quality of the vegetables is so good that people from other villages inevitably come to inquire about or buy them. Villagers certainly don't give things to outsiders for free, so they have to buy them.

More than half a month has passed in a flash, and the results of the S City Botanical Research Center's "Research and Cultivation of Xiaoheshan Plants" have come out.

Cultivation and research have shown that the plants on Xiaohe Mountain are more nutritious than those in other places, and the trace elements and minerals contained in the water and soil on Xiaohe Mountain are richer and higher than those elsewhere.

Professor Qian and his colleagues also asked someone to buy nutritious seeds from Nanhe Village. Cultivation has proven that vegetables grown from these seeds are sweeter, more nutritious, and taste better than ordinary farm vegetables on the market.

The fertilizers from Nanhe Village also have a very fast and lasting effect on soil nutrition.

After reporting the research results to their superiors, Professor Cen and Professor Qian led their team to Nanhe Village.

Professor Cen stood at the foot of Xiaohe Mountain, and the mountain breeze blowing towards him brought a hint of coolness and freshness.

They rented a self-built house in the village for a long time as a temporary settlement. After settling in, they went to the village to inquire about nutritious seeds.

Granny Hua was walking down the street when she encountered them asking for directions. "Nutritional seeds? Where did you get them?"

Yu Yingting said, "We are from S City."

Granny Hua sighed, "The reputation of our village's vegetables has spread all the way to S City. I was wondering if your accent doesn't sound like a local."

"Look," Granny Hua pointed ahead and said, "Walk about 100 meters ahead. There's a fertilizer store. That's it."

"Okay, thank you grandma." Bu Yarui smiled and thanked Grandma Hua.

"You're welcome."

Soon, they arrived at the fertilizer store.

The fertilizer store has large shelves on both sides, filled with a wide variety of goods, namely various vegetable seeds, and on the other side are bags of fertilizer, piled up into a square mountain.

After asking about the prices of seeds and fertilizers, Bu Yarui exclaimed, "How expensive!"

Her family is from the countryside, and the same package of vegetable seeds can be bought for two or three yuan there, but it costs 500 yuan here. To be honest, when she first heard the price, she could hardly believe her eyes.

Lu Ji had a faint smile on her face and said, "You get what you pay for. The seeds in our store are different from those sold in single digits or tens digits."

Ji Lu is an employee of a fertilizer store and also Jiang Yingxue's pet. Her true form is a fifth-level ice and snow fox.

There are three employees in the store. Jiang Yingxue, the secretary and the village chief each recommend one person to join. The salary is 4,000 yuan a month, working from 10 am to 7 pm, with meals provided, and two days off per week. There must be two employees in the store except on holidays.

Because the output of fertilizers and seeds has increased, fertilizer stores no longer have purchase restrictions, and people from inside and outside the village can buy them without limit.

The three employees in the store are Lu Ji, Xi Fangqin and Liu Shanfang. Xi Fangqin is the wife of Secretary Zhiqiang, and Liu Shanfang is the daughter-in-law of the village chief.

The ones working today are Lu Ji and Xi Fangqin.

Xi Fangqin asked, "What kind of vegetable seeds do you want to buy?"

Professor Qian asked, "Do you have seeds for 5,000 yuan a bag?"

Xi Fangqin said, "No, the seeds here are all 500 yuan a bag regardless of the variety. I don't have the 5,000 yuan you mentioned."

Professor Qian then asked, "Where's the fertilizer?"

"No." Xi Fangqin looked at Professor Qian strangely. She had heard her husband say before that Chao Mi's son stole seeds and fertilizers from other families and sold them for money. The fertilizer was sold for 10,000 yuan per bag. Could it be that this guest today knew that victim?

"The prices in our store have not changed. They have always been this price."

Upon hearing this, Professor Qian's face changed drastically when he thought of the expensive seeds and fertilizers he had asked someone to buy for him.

The money spent on purchases can be reimbursed, but it’s frustrating to be ripped off.

Professor Cen said, "We want one of each of these seeds, and ten bags of fertilizer."

"Okay, come with me to the counter to pay." Xi Fangqin led Professor Cen to the cashier.

A few days ago, a young man from the neighboring village took a box of seeds and ran away without paying. Fortunately, Luki caught him back.

From that day on, the fertilizer market began to implement the payment-first-then-inspection rule. Xi Fangqin and Liu Shanfang couldn't outrun the strong young men.

After paying the money, Professor Cen borrowed the ox cart from the neighbor and took ten bags of fertilizer and a box of vegetable seeds back home.
