Chapter 57 You lied to me!
A few days later, the people Yan Shunzhong had found to clean the fishpond arrived.
Yan Sui had no intention of connecting the fishponds; she was content to maintain the status quo.
This makes it easier for her to plant different varieties.
She conducted research and found that the double-petaled lotus flowers that can currently fetch higher prices on the market are the ones that sell for a higher price.
Driven by the desire to make money, they naturally want to plant more expensive varieties.
News of Yan Sui hiring someone to clean the fishpond quickly spread throughout Changqing Village.
Yan Liang was still waiting at home for Yan Sui to come over, and he couldn't sleep well for several nights in a row.
She was afraid that if she took the initiative to approach Yan Sui, Yan Sui would take the opportunity to lower the price.
But I'm also afraid that I'll miss this opportunity and end up with nothing.
Zhao Chunrong, however, remained resolute and repeatedly urged him to be patient.
So he endured it until now, only to see Yan Shunzhong hiring people to clean the fishpond.
When asked by others, Yan Shunzhong said, "My niece wanted to grow lotus flowers, and we happened to have twenty acres of fish ponds at home, so we cleared them out for her to grow lotus flowers."
Yan Liang was startled; he had completely forgotten that Yan Sui's family owned a fishpond.
He couldn't sit still any longer and hurriedly ran to ask Yan Sui.
“I also have quite a few paddy fields, which are perfect for growing lotus flowers, and the price is negotiable.”
Yan Sui rested her chin on her hand, lazily nestled on the swing.
“Brother Yanliang, but I asked Grandma before, and she said you wouldn’t sell the place to me.”
Yan Liang was speechless, stammering and unsure of what to say.
I can't exactly say I'm trying to rip you off or deliberately taking advantage of you.
"Grandma said she wouldn't sell me the land even if it rotted in her hands, so I had to give up on that idea."
"Later, my uncle said that he would take out the fish pond at home to farm, and with the next few acres of land, there would be more than 20 acres, which would be enough."
The sky is about to fall, it's not enough! Not enough!
He had planned everything meticulously, but he hadn't considered that Yan Sui's family had a fishpond.
"These twenty-odd acres aren't enough, are they?"
"There's nothing I can do if it's not enough. Grandma said that Yan Liang will never sell me the land he owns. What can I do? I'm desperate too."
Yan Liang: "..."
No, you are not as desperate as I am.
Yan Sui nodded her chin and suddenly smiled.
"But don't worry, Brother Yan Liang, I will definitely not try to take advantage of you again. Even if I want to contract land, I will not buy it from you."
Yan Liang walked out dejectedly, feeling as if he had missed out on a fortune.
Zhao Chunrong saw him and couldn't wait to come up to him.
"Yan Liang, have you found out what happened? What's going on?"
Yan Liang was furious and shoved her hand away.
"What else could it be! If it weren't for you, Yan Sui and I would have already signed the contract and received the money!"
"Grandma! Am I not your own grandson? What have I done to offend you that you're cutting off my livelihood like this! Give me a straight answer, what do I have to do for you to stay away from me and stop interfering in my affairs!"
Zhao Chunrong's head was buzzing, and he was speechless after being questioned.
But how could she have known that Yan Sui would suddenly stop buying?
Yan Liang ran his fingers through his hair, feeling terrible about losing money for no reason.
Even though he still has two million yuan, it's not enough for him to make a down payment on a house in the city.
"Grandma, you don't live at my house anymore, so you should behave yourself and stop coming to my house so often, otherwise your second uncle and aunt will be unhappy."
Zhao Chunrong's eyes widened in fury. "I'm your own grandmother! This is unfilial of you!"
Yan Liang has always been very filial to her and would never say such things.
Little did she know that all that filial piety was based on the premise of not infringing on his interests.
Zhao Chunrong had thwarted his plans several times, which had already exhausted Yan Liang's patience.
"So what if you're unfilial? Say what you want."
Yan Liang waved his hand and went into the house with a look of annoyance on his face.
He had a bad feeling and knew he had to sell all his land as soon as possible, even if it meant lowering the price.
It's better than dragging this out indefinitely.
But right now, apart from Yan Sui, he really doesn't have a suitable candidate in mind.
Zhao Chunrong was scolded by her grandson and felt both angry and furious. She blamed everything on Yan Sui.
She stormed over to Yan Sui, yelling, "Yan Sui, what are you up to! Why won't you buy the land from my grandson! You call yourself family, but you're worse than an outsider!"
Yan Sui, her hair tucked in, swayed leisurely on the swing, looking quite relaxed.
"Grandma, what are you saying? Didn't you keep saying you would never let Brother Yanliang sell the land to me? I listened to you and decided not to buy it now, so why are you unhappy?"
Zhao Chunrong was furious. She was the one who said those words, but Yan Sui couldn't really not buy them!
"That's your fault too! Who told you to keep causing us trouble before? Just because I said I wouldn't sell doesn't mean you can stop buying! You could have just begged a little more!"
Yan Sui: "..."
It's hard to judge.
"Grandma, did Brother Yan Liang send you here?"
Zhao Chunrong's face suddenly froze.
Yan Sui smiled coolly, "Oh, it seems Brother Yan Liang doesn't know? Didn't he scold you when he got back? Why are you always so forgetful?"
Zhao Chunrong seemed to understand something from the sarcasm on her face, and her eyes widened suddenly.
"You, you, you did it on purpose! You never intended to buy the land from Yan Liang from the very beginning. You were just putting on an act for me! You lied to me!"
Yan Sui looked completely innocent. "What did I lie to you about? I haven't even said I wanted to buy it yet, and you're already making threats at me. Didn't you contact me first? Grandma, why are you making things up?"
Zhao Chunrong was so angry that she nearly fainted.
"You! I'm your elder, how dare you treat me like this!"
"Dare I? I've already done it, haven't I? Grandma, if you keep making a fuss, I'll tell Brother Yan Liang."
If you were to ask Zhao Chunrong who she fears most right now, it would undoubtedly be Yan Liang.
Whether she can enjoy a comfortable old age depends on her eldest grandson, doesn't it?
Of the entire Yan family, only Yan Liang has money.
Thinking of this, no matter how much resentment she felt, she had no choice but to swallow it down.
Zhao Chunrong glared at Yan Sui resentfully, then stormed off.
Yan Sui swung her toes and lazily yawned.
Sui Sui suddenly jumped up and started tugging at her.
Meow~
Yan Sui raised her eyebrows. "There's good food in that field too? No rush. If I were to offer to buy the land now, I'd be a sucker."
Two days later, Yan Liang finally couldn't sit still any longer.
He took the initiative to approach Yan Sui, wanting to sell the land he owned.
Yan Sui, with her hair tucked behind her ear, said, "Brother Yan Liang, why would I buy the land you have?"
She didn't want to be a landlord.
Yan Liang said in a deep voice, "It's not that you want to buy, it's that I want to sell. The price is negotiable."
He has these fields in his hands; if he leaves them uncultivated, they will become wasteland, but if he actually cultivates them, he will lose money. He is in a dilemma.
He had to pay money every day to contract these lands, and the thought of it kept him awake at night.
Yan Sui raised an eyebrow and looked at him with a leisurely air.
"How do we plan to discuss this?"
Yan Liang then said, "I still have more than 100 mu of land and an abandoned orchard of about 50 mu."
He spent over six million yuan to contract the farmland, and with the addition of two orchards, he emptied his savings of ten million yuan.
The orchard was abandoned because he never touched it after he took over the contract.
He lost so much money growing peaches that he was practically broke, and he dared not grow them anymore.
"Give me 5.5 million for these fields, and I'll give you the orchard as a bonus."
He accepted the loss he had made.
Right now, I just want to recoup my initial investment; every little bit helps.
Yan Sui chuckled, "Let's round it up to 5 million. I'll take all the land you have."
Yan Liang's face turned a deep purplish-red. He cut the price by 500,000 in one go; that's ruthless.
"Yan Sui, I've already lost so much money, can't you let me have my way?"
“It’s not my fault that you’re losing money. I can choose not to buy these lands, but can you refuse to sell them? Everyone knows that farming is unprofitable, but I’m the only one willing to be the sucker.”
Yan Liang took a deep breath, but did not immediately agree.
"I need to think about it."
