Chapter 32 She's willing to be the sucker, so she can't blame us.
Yan Liang's orchard has actually been sold!
The news spread throughout Changqing Village in no time, sparking heated discussions.
The topic that everyone is most interested in is still who the sucker is.
Tian Xiangjuan gets off work at five o'clock every day and rides her electric scooter back from town.
Seeing a crowd gathered at the village entrance, I couldn't help but stop and listen.
That's when I found out that someone had taken over Yan Liang's orchard.
Tian Xiangjuan laughed and rode her electric scooter home.
"Liyuan, guess what I heard?"
"What?"
"Some sucker has bought up Yan Liang's orchard! Isn't that hilarious!"
Sui Liyuan: "...That might not be very funny."
Tian Xiangjuan: "?"
Sui Liyuan pointed to Yan Sui beside her, "Your niece spent two million to acquire it."
Tian Xiangjuan was stunned, as if she had lost her soul, and did not react.
"Huh? What did you just say? Did I hear you correctly?"
Yan Sui smiled and took her arm. "Auntie, you heard right. I bought Yan Liang's orchard. He offered 2.5 million, but I bargained it down to 500,000. Aren't I amazing?"
"Wow, impressive!" Praise is still necessary.
Tian Xiangjuan panicked, "No, it's not about how powerful it is, that orchard is no good, nobody wants it!"
Who knows how Yan Liang's family is laughing at Yan Sui for being such a sucker right now.
"No way, it's one thing for them to cheat outsiders, but how can they cheat their own people? I'm going to confront them."
Yan Sui quickly stopped her, "I knew there was a problem with this orchard before I decided to take it over. Auntie, please trust me, I'm sure I can grow big, sweet peaches."
Although Tian Xiangjuan wanted Yan Sui to find something to do so that she wouldn't just sit around and do nothing, she didn't want Yan Sui to farm.
"Farming is hard work, you can't do it."
Yan Sui waved her hand, "Brother Yan Liang's orchard does have its advantages. Many tasks have been replaced by machines, and for the ones that still require manual labor, I ask the villagers to do the work."
Tian Xiangjuan scolded, "These are all minor matters, but have you ever thought about what will happen if no one harvests the fruit?"
This is even less of a problem for Yan Sui.
“I can sell goods via live streaming. As you have seen before, my live stream has a lot of viewers.”
She currently has hundreds of thousands of followers on the Douyin platform, although most of them are people who criticize her.
Tian Xiangjuan sighed, "Alright, you have your own ideas. Your uncle and I aren't very capable, and we're afraid we can't help you much."
Yan Sui waved her hand, "You've already helped me a lot, so let's not stand on ceremony."
She hadn't forgotten the wild vegetables she had dug up.
"Auntie, we're having hot pot tonight. Could you bring out the copper pot? I'll go help my aunt wash the shepherd's purse."
"good."
Sui Liyuan asked Yan Sui to wash the shepherd's purse, while she went to chop the minced meat.
"Sui Sui, aren't you going to give dumplings to your friend? Should they be raw or cooked?"
Yan Sui said, "Pack some raw and some cooked food, so he can cook it himself later."
"Okay, then Auntie will go knead the dough."
While she was washing shepherd's purse, Sui Sui kept biting her trouser leg.
This is urging her to go dig something.
Yan Sui rubbed her head. "This is hard labor. I can't just carry a hoe up the mountain by myself, can I? We need to find someone to do the hard work!"
Meow~
“You mean Fu Jianxing? It’s not impossible. I’ll talk to him later, and if he has no objections, we can go up the mountain tomorrow.”
Today is out of the question; she's still waiting to have hot pot at home.
After the dumplings were made, the raw and cooked ones were separated, and Yan Sui carried the lunchbox to Fu Yansheng.
"The top is raw, the bottom is cooked, and the raw one should be frozen."
Fu Yansheng held two lunch boxes, feeling quite novel about the experience.
"What are you doing, spacing out for no reason?" Yan Sui waved in front of his eyes.
Fu Yansheng shook his head. "I heard you took over the orchard over there."
Yan Sui exclaimed, "Yes, I was just about to tell you about that."
"What's up?"
"Are you free tomorrow? Come with me up the mountain to dig something."
Fu Yansheng was taken aback; this kind of experience was even more novel.
"available."
Yan Sui laughed, "See you tomorrow then?"
"good."
Yan Sui skipped and hopped away, her back view radiating joy.
A light drizzle began to fall outside, accompanied by a chilly wind.
She wrapped her down jacket tighter and, as she passed Zhao Chunrong's house, she heard two people chatting in the yard.
It wasn't that she wanted to eavesdrop, but rather that they were speaking too loudly.
"Biling, your orchard has really been sold? It's worth several million! Someone actually wanted it?"
Yan Sui craned her neck to take a look. Zhuang Biling was Yan Liang's wife, so she naturally recognized her.
The other one seems to be Zhao Chunrong's cousin from her maternal family, who also married into Changqing Village.
"Auntie, what are you saying? What's wrong with my orchard?"
Auntie scoffed, "If it's really that good, why doesn't Yan Liang grow his own? Why does he have to sell the orchard? Everyone knows that the peaches grown there aren't good, they can't be sold at all, and buying them would just leave you stuck with them."
Zhuang Biling gritted her teeth, "So what? Everyone knows it. We didn't fool Yan Sui! She's willing to be the sucker, so she can't blame us."
Back then, Yan Liang sold his shares and had tens of millions of yuan in his hands.
She was overjoyed and started acting like a rich woman in the village.
In the blink of an eye, all her money was tied up in the land, turning her from a rich woman into a debtor.
She was overjoyed to finally receive the money back.
Her great-aunt was too lazy to argue with her about this. "How much did your family's orchard sell for? It must have been at least a million, right?"
Zhuang Biling chuckled and proudly held up two fingers.
Two million.
Auntie was startled and quickly grabbed her hand.
“Biling, you can’t possibly spend all this money. You know your aunt’s family is having a hard time. Why don’t you lend us 100,000 yuan to tide us over?”
Zhuang Biling shook off her hand, looking disgusted.
"The money hasn't even arrived yet, and you're already eyeing it, Auntie. Do you think this is appropriate?"
My great-aunt didn't see anything wrong with it and said matter-of-factly, "You have two million, what's wrong with lending me one hundred thousand! You're rich but so stingy!"
Zhuang Biling: "Yan Sui is even richer, why don't you borrow from her? She's just a stupid sucker, if you play the victim a little, she'll definitely give you the money, maybe you won't even have to pay it back."
Yan Sui clicked her tongue and stood on tiptoe, shouting, "Sister-in-law, this is so mean! We haven't even signed the contract yet, the deal isn't done, and you're already calling me a sucker. Is that appropriate? We haven't even crossed the river, and you're already thinking about burning bridges?"
Zhuang Biling was so frightened by her voice that her heart almost stopped beating.
If Yan Sui were to abandon the orchard in a fit of anger, where would she go to cry?
"No, that's not what I meant. Don't take it to heart. I'm just not good with words and don't think before I speak."
She cursed inwardly, "Why take it so seriously?"
Many villagers cursed Yan Sui for being a sucker, yet they never saw her go out and make things difficult for others.
Yan Sui ignored her and turned to look at her aunt.
“I used all my money to buy this orchard, so I don’t have any money to lend you. My sister-in-law’s family has made two million, and they can’t spend it all in a short time. They won’t even lend my aunt 100,000. What kind of relatives are they?”
My great-aunt nodded vigorously, "That's exactly right. I'll have to talk to your grandma about it later. These young people nowadays have absolutely no human touch."
