Chapter 30 I want to take over this orchard
Yan Sui recognized her; the old lady was Zhao Chunrong, Yan Liang's biological grandmother.
“Grandma, we told Auntie we were going to come up and pick peach blossoms. These peach blossoms aren’t worth much, so there’s no need for us to come up and steal them.”
Thank goodness she didn't agree to Sui Sui digging that thing out, otherwise the old lady would have torn her apart.
Zhao Chunrong is not a reasonable person at all; she doesn't care whether these peach blossoms are valuable or not.
"Peach blossoms aren't worth much, but aren't peaches worthless too? These peaches on my mountain are all for sale! You've picked all the blossoms, how are they going to bear fruit? You do the math yourself, how much money have you caused us to lose!"
Yan Sui: "..."
Sui Liyuan pulled her over, "Ignore her, let's go."
Zhao Chunrong immediately followed, angrily shouting, "You two thieves, don't you dare leave! I'm calling the police to arrest you both. How dare you steal in broad daylight? Is there no law anymore?!"
Sui Liyuan was furious. "Call the police! Go call the police right now! There are only a few peach blossoms. If the police tell me to pay compensation, I'll pay!"
Yan Sui felt a little sad. If she hadn't said she came to pick peach blossoms, this wouldn't have happened.
"Auntie..."
"Hey! Don't pay any attention to her. That's just how she is. I guess your aunt didn't explain things clearly to her."
Sui Liyuan didn't look too good, but that didn't stop her from comforting her.
She pulled Yan Sui to find Lu Caizhi, calling out, "Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law!"
Lu Caizhi was a person who didn't like to cause trouble. Although Zhao Chunrong and Yan Sui's grandparents didn't get along, she didn't cut ties with them.
"What's wrong?"
Sui Liyuan showed her the peach blossoms she had picked, saying, "Your mother-in-law insists that we came to your house to steal peach blossoms and that she's going to call the police. Look at how much these peach blossoms are worth, and I'll pay for them."
Lu Caizhi: "..."
She was embarrassed and hurriedly said, "It's just some peach blossoms, there's no need to lose money. You're making me so ashamed."
Sui Liyuan waved her hand, "I know what kind of person my sister-in-law is. Yan Liang is a capable and good-for-nothing. He doesn't need a few pennies. I'm just afraid of causing trouble."
She still took out her money and slipped fifty yuan to Lu Caizhi.
"Consider this my compensation for picking these peach blossoms."
But Yan Sui stopped her.
"Auntie, don't rush to pay compensation. I have something I want to talk to your mother about."
Lu Caizhi was taken aback. "Then let's go inside and talk..."
"No need, I just wanted to ask Brother Yanliang if this orchard is for sale."
Lu Caizhi and Sui Liyuan exchanged a glance and were both startled.
It's obvious that this stuff won't make any money, yet someone's willing to take it on?
Sui Liyuan was the first to come to her senses and hurriedly grabbed Yan Sui.
"You child, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Yan Sui smiled and said, "Auntie, I'm not talking nonsense. I've already made up my mind. I want to take over this orchard."
Didn't Sui Sui say she wanted to grow vegetables for her? Let's give her an orchard to practice first.
Lu Caizhi knew better than anyone how much her son regretted contracting these places.
She was finally finding a sucker... no, someone who wanted her, so she wasn't about to let her go easily.
"He went to town to visit a friend. I'll call him right now and tell him to come back!"
It's better to harm Yan Sui than to harm your own son.
“Alright, Auntie, please hurry up and get Brother Yanliang back. I’ll talk to him about the price for transferring the orchard.”
"Okay, okay, I'll bring him back right away."
On the way back, Sui Liyuan felt like the sky was about to fall.
"Didn't you see your aunt's face? She practically had 'sucker' written all over her face! How could you be so stupid? Yan Liang spent nearly two million just to contract this land, not to mention the mechanized operation he built afterward. He didn't even make back the money for the saplings!"
It's not easy for an ordinary family to earn a few million.
She knew Yan Sui was rich, but that didn't mean she could squander money like that.
"When Yan Liang comes over later, don't say anything. Your aunt will refuse him. We can't let him do this to us."
Yan Sui smiled and said, "Auntie, I know you mean well, but taking over this orchard wasn't an impulsive decision. I'm currently unemployed, and I happen to have some experience in farming."
Moreover, this orchard is all mechanized, which reduces labor costs, making it perfect for her.
"Auntie, are the cherry tomatoes and strawberries I grew not tasty?"
Sui Liyuan looked troubled; she was almost convinced by Yan Sui.
"But the fruit from Yanliang's orchard is notoriously bad! Many bosses won't buy it, not even the fruit vendors in town, saying they can't sell it. If you take over this orchard, you'll lose money!"
Yan Sui smiled confidently, "I can't grow bad fruit. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Besides, we haven't even bought the rights yet, so if the price isn't right, I won't do it."
Sui Liyuan then said nothing more.
When he got home, he saw Zhao Chunrong arguing with the elderly in his family, blocking the doorway.
Yan Sui hurriedly ran over. Her grandparents were respectable people who disdained arguing and making a scene with others, so they couldn't possibly win an argument against Zhao Chunrong.
"Sui Sui, you're back just in time! Your great-grandmother said you stole her things. What happened?" the old lady asked hurriedly.
Sui Liyuan spat angrily, "Mom, don't listen to her nonsense. Sui Sui said she wanted to pick some peach blossoms to make peach blossom wine, so I told my sister-in-law and took Sui Sui up the mountain to pick peach blossoms. We only picked a few, and she came over and scolded us for stealing."
Anyone who hears this would say it's outrageous.
More than being angry, the old lady felt heartbroken.
When she first married into Changqing Village, the Yan family had not yet divided their property. Neither Zhao Chunrong nor her husband had a job, and their food and drink were paid for by the second wife.
Over the years, they lent Zhao Chunrong and his wife a lot of money, and they never saw them repay it.
Now, even picking a few peach blossoms requires her to calculate everything precisely.
The old lady said coldly, "Then we'll wait for Yan Liang to come back and calculate how much these peach blossoms are worth. We won't take advantage of them; we'll compensate them at the full price!"
Zhao Chunrong refused to let it go so easily, shouting fiercely, "You stole my things, how can you just let it go like this! You have to pay ten times the amount in compensation, or I'll take you to the police station and we'll talk to the police!"
Her outrageous demands made the old man and woman look rather displeased.
That's absolutely shameless.
Yan Sui walked over with a smile, "Then let's call the police. I'll say it again, whatever the police ask me to pay, I'll pay."
Zhao Chunrong deliberately threatened her: "If you really call the police, I won't take the money. I'll just let the police arrest you, you thief!"
Yan Sui smiled even more broadly, "Okay."
If she goes to jail, Yan Liang will be even more anxious than she is.
Anyway, she's not the one in a hurry to sell the orchard.
"Auntie, let's call the police and tell them we stole someone's peach blossoms and come to turn ourselves in."
Sui Liyuan chimed in, "Okay, I'll call the police right now. At worst, your aunt and I will both be arrested. We won't be alone."
She had just taken out her phone when she saw a car parked steadily in front of her house.
Yan Liang jumped out of the car quickly, "Grandma, what are you doing here!"
