Chapter 31 I think you're a complete idiot.
Zhao Chunrong felt that her powerful backer had arrived, and hurriedly grabbed Yan Liang.
"You've come at the right time! Those two came to our orchard to steal things, we can't just let it go like this!"
Lu Caizhi had already explained the situation to him over the phone.
Yan Liang knew Zhao Chunrong's personality well; even he would call her a weirdo if he heard about this.
Moreover, Yan Sui expressed her desire to take over his orchard, which was his lucky charm.
He may seem successful on the surface, but he doesn't actually have much money.
He spent tens of millions of yuan to contract these places, and that money came from selling his shares after he broke up with his business partners.
By selling his shares, he gained a large sum of money, but at the same time lost a stable income.
Later, when he returned to the village to invest, all his money was tied up in the land, and now he's penniless.
Yan Sui curled her lips into a lazy smile.
“Brother Yan Liang, you’ve come at the right time. Grandma said she’s going to call the police and send us to jail. We’ll talk about our matter when I get back from the police station.”
Yan Liang quickly said, "They're just peach blossoms. Even if you don't pick them, you won't be able to sell the fruit they bear. There's no need to worry about it so much."
Yan Sui: "How can that be? These peach blossoms are so precious. The eldest madam wants us to compensate tenfold. How can we just let it go like this? You'll suffer a huge loss."
Zhao Chunrong didn't catch the sarcasm in her words and said angrily, "You know it, so hurry up and pay up!"
Yan Liang, unable to bear it any longer, roared, "Grandma, stop making things worse!"
It's worth mentioning that his orchard was a complete waste of money and nobody wanted it, and Zhao Chunrong was partly to blame for that.
Ever since he returned to the village to contract land, she has adopted a superior attitude, as if her family had given alms to the villagers.
So much so that later when he wanted to find people to do the work, hardly anyone was willing to come.
The first batch of peaches from the orchard was of poor quality, and before he could figure out what to do, his reputation quickly spread far and wide.
Even now, some people outside still say that his orchard has bad feng shui, which is why he can't grow delicious peaches.
“My mom knew Yan Sui went up the mountain to pick peach blossoms. What are you stealing? Grandma, why do you have to be so harsh? We're all family, can't we talk things out?”
Zhao Chunrong was speechless after being yelled at, but her face was still full of resentment.
Yan Liang didn't expect to be able to correct her in a short time, but selling the orchard was more important now.
"Apologize to them right now!"
Zhao Chunrong glared at him, "What did you say? You want me to apologize to her? Yan Liang, I think you've gone mad!"
Yan Liang said coldly, "I'm not crazy, so you have to apologize to her! Once Yan Sui buys this orchard, all the fruit trees will be hers, and it's none of your business how many peach blossoms she picks!"
Zhao Chunrong was taken aback, "Buy...buy what?"
Not to mention her, the old man and the old woman were also very surprised.
Only Yan Sui remained calm and said, "Didn't Brother Yan Liang want to sell the orchard? I've decided to buy it."
Zhao Chunrong was startled; at this moment, she was able to bend and stretch.
She lightly slapped her mouth. "It's all Grandma's fault. I was confused. Please don't hold it against Grandma! Pick as many peach blossoms as you want. If it's not enough, I'll pick more for you."
After saying that, Zhao Chunrong spat at Granny Zhang, who hadn't said a word.
"It's all your fault, you old hag, meddling in other people's business! Yan Sui is my granddaughter. What's wrong with her picking some peach blossoms? Why did you have to tip her off? Don't think I don't know what you're up to. You deserve to have your grandson arrested!"
Granny Zhang: "?"
How can a person change their attitude so quickly?
Zhao Chunrong was not an easy person to talk to; she was eager to find someone to take the blame, and Granny Zhang was just the right person.
She went up to Granny Zhang and slapped her hard across the face, saying, "I'll teach you to talk back! Who do you think you are, daring to spout nonsense in front of me?"
Yan Sui's eyes widened; so Zhao Chunrong had been quite polite to them after all.
Yan Liang, however, seemed unfazed. Zhao Hui was still working at his chicken farm, and Granny Zhang had to curry favor with Zhao Chunrong; she dared not retaliate.
"Grandma Zhang, Zhao Hui has been skipping work for so long. If he doesn't come out soon, I'm going to fire him."
Upon hearing this, Granny Zhang immediately panicked.
If Zhao Hui doesn't have a job, how will he find a wife?
"No, no, no, it's all my fault, Yan Liang, please give me a few more days."
Yan Liang snorted and looked away.
The moment he looked at Yan Sui, his expression changed immediately.
"Yan Sui, shall we go inside and talk?"
Yan Sui nodded. "Okay."
The old lady pulled Yan Sui aside and said anxiously, "Sui Sui, are you really going to take over this orchard? Do you know..."
"Grandma, don't worry, I know the situation in this orchard, and I won't act impulsively."
Sui Liyuan also chimed in, "Mom, let's just trust Sui Sui."
If Yan Sui's peaches taste as good as her strawberries, there's no need to worry about them not selling.
After both of them sat down, Yan Liang seemed impatient and immediately went up to Yan Sui to tell her about his difficulties.
He and Yan Sui did a breakdown of the costs, clearly outlining the expenses they incurred in the orchard.
“I signed a 20-year contract at the time. The price was 1,200 yuan per mu per year. The total contract fee was 1.9 million yuan.”
The orchard is equipped with facilities, and watering, fertilizing, and spraying are all mechanized.
These alone would require a significant investment.
"I mainly grow white peaches, nectarines, and yellow peaches. Nectarines ripen early and can be on the market in early June, with a supply period until September. White peaches and yellow peaches ripen in the middle and late stages, and their market time is mainly concentrated between July and September."
Yan Sui chuckled, "Brother Yan Liang, you did a good job on your homework."
Yan Liang said awkwardly, "Although no one wanted those peaches, I put a lot of effort into studying them. I even invited a peach farmer with planting experience to give me lessons. I'll give you the notes later."
Yan Sui nodded. "You name your price."
Finally, we've reached this part, and Yan Liang is incredibly excited.
"We're all family, I won't make money off you. I'll just recoup my costs. A flat price of 2.5 million!"
Yan Sui shook her head. "Everyone knows that the peaches from your orchard are sour and astringent, and nobody buys them. You still dare to sell them to me for 2.5 million? You look like a fool."
Yan Liang: "..."
I didn't expect Yan Sui to be so hard to fool.
"Then how much do you want?"
"I'll not haggle over the price of the land contract for fifteen years. I'll give you 1.4 million yuan, plus the fruit trees and other equipment in the orchard, for a flat price of 600,000 yuan."
"Two million? That's too little! Add some more, I've already spent over two hundred thousand just on fruit trees!"
Not to mention the money he spent on planting the trees, and the large sum he also paid to have them pruned.
He invested a lot of money from wasteland to orchard.
Yan Sui shook her head. "This is the most I can offer. If you're willing to sell, I'll immediately have a lawyer draft the contract and complete the formalities. If you're not willing to sell, then forget it."
Yan Liang was filled with conflicting emotions. Could he say no?
If anyone had wanted to buy this orchard, he would have sold it long ago.
Yan Sui is the only one who has expressed interest so far. If he misses this opportunity, he won't even get his two million back.
"Sell it! Go find a lawyer, I'll sell it to you for this price!"
Anyway, whoever takes over this orchard will lose money; at least he still managed to recoup two million.
Yan Sui, however, might be a different story.
