Yang Niannian's eyes suddenly lit up, and just as she was about to speak, Ma Xiuzhu took the lead and vented her anger.

"What hilltop are you contracting? Can fruit trees bear fruit in a year? After you invest money in seedlings and work hard for a year without getting your money back, you have to pay the contract fee again. Then you will find that you have been cheated and you will have no choice but to contract. You and your wife are not cut out for business, so you should just farm honestly!"

Lu Qingyuan and Guan Ailian felt uncomfortable after hearing this, but they did not refute her and simply turned a deaf ear to her words. After all, they had heard such discouraging words more than once.

Lu Guozhi sat aside and said nothing, neither expressing his agreement nor raising any objections.

Yang Niannian saw that Lu Qingyuan and his wife were determined to contract the mountain, and they must have been considering it for a long time.

It is a good thing to have ideas, which shows that you are ambitious.

"Brother, sister-in-law, I think your idea is very good. We are all farmers. Contracting a mountain to grow fruit is not far from our roots. The investment risk is also small. As long as the fruit can be grown, we don't have to worry about not being able to sell it and making money..."

Ma Xiuzhu interrupted.

"Don't mess with them. What kind of business can they start in this mountain village? If they can make money, would it be their turn to contract the land? I say they should just farm the few acres of land at home and stop messing around."

"In our mountain valley, the roads are as narrow as buttock ditches. Even cars can't pass through. How can you do business? You can't sell the fruits you grow, and you will lose everything."

Why are farmers making such a fuss instead of just being farmers?

Lu Shishen frowned, glanced at Ma Xiuzhu, and said in a deep voice.

"Let Nian Nian finish what she is saying."

When Lu Guozhi saw his youngest son speaking, he glared at his wife and said.

"They are talking about business matters. If you don't understand, just say less and don't interrupt their conversation."

Seeing that no one listened to her, Ma Xiuzhu rolled her eyes.

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything. I'll keep my mouth shut. You guys go ahead and talk! I want to see what you can come up with."

She believed that her eldest son and his wife were not cut out for business and would lose money if they contracted the mountain.

Lu Qingyuan was originally full of confidence, but after hearing what Ma Xiuzhu said, he began to consider practical issues.

A little discouraged.

“The road is indeed a problem.”

There is no way he can make a profit from growing fruits in the next one or two years. He can't build a road first, and he doesn't have the capital for that.

Yang Niannian didn't think the road was a problem and said it very confidently.

"Brother, don't worry about the road. If you really want to contract the hilltop in the village, I will fund the road construction."

Lu Qingyuan's face suddenly showed a shocked expression, and he said in horror.

"Sister-in-law, you are kidding me, right? It costs a lot of money to build a road."

Guan Ailian also said, "Sister-in-law, we are doing business, how can we ask you to fund the road construction? This is not a matter of one or two dollars."

Yang Niannian secretly looked at Lu Shishen, and when she saw that he did not object, she smiled and said.

"Brother, sister-in-law, I won't hide it from you. My business has been doing well in the past few years and I have made some money."

"I've been thinking about helping you find a way to make your life easier, but I've never thought of a project. Since you want to contract a hilltop to plant fruit trees, then take action. I'll consider it as making a contribution to my hometown."

Now that she has made money, she will do some charity work sooner or later, which will also be beneficial to Lu Shishen.

Why not take this opportunity to help my elder brother and sister-in-law, build my hometown and establish a positive image.

Lu Qingyuan was moved, but still a little hesitant.

"Building roads costs a lot of money. If the business doesn't take off, wouldn't it be a waste of your money?"

Guan Ailian also felt a lot of mental pressure.

"Sister-in-law, I think we should just forget it! Road construction is not a small amount of money."

Yang Niannian was very determined and strongly supported their idea of ​​starting a business.

"Brother and sister-in-law, you don't have to think too much. I have made money now, and I will contribute to my hometown sooner or later. This is just the right time."

As she spoke, she gently touched Lu Shishen with her hand, motioning for him to say something.

Lu Shishen said expressionlessly, "If you want to do it, do it now while you are still young. With the support of the village, it is also a good opportunity."

Seeing that his brother and his wife both supported it, Lu Qingyuan and Guan Ailian looked at each other. Just as they made up their minds, Ma Xiuzhu exploded.

She stared with her round eyes and spit flying.

"Have you all been possessed by evil spirits? How much money can you make from selling fruit? The little you earn is not even enough to build the road. Why don't you just give the money directly to your elder brother and sister-in-law? It will save them the hard work and effort. If you use the money to build the road, others will laugh at you and call you fools behind your back."

At this moment, Lu Guozhi seemed to understand the truth very well, and he showed the courage of the head of the family and scolded.

"What do you know? Nian Nian did this to help Qingyuan and Ailian start their own business, and to help Shi Shen establish a good image so that he can move higher in the army. Don't look at things with your petty mind."

"Shi Shen has become capable now and wants to move up the ladder. He also wants to help his elder brother. As parents, we cannot be short-sighted and only focus on the little gains in front of us."

His younger son and daughter-in-law are capable and will achieve great things in the future. He also needs to look further ahead and be a visionary.

The Lu family is about to become prosperous by his generation.

Yang Niannian held back her laughter and immediately praised Lu Guozhi highly.

"Father-in-law, you are really courageous and far-sighted. You are right. We should take a long-term view. If we want to make money, we must dare to fight for it. Besides, Shi Shen has been transferred to Beijing. He has a bright future. We should think long-term."

Lu Qingyuan never expected that his own father would support him. He was so moved that his eyes turned red and he couldn't believe it.

"Dad, do you really support me?"

Lu Guozhi felt a little flattered by Yang Niannian's praise and behaved more open-mindedly.

"If you want to do it, go ahead and do it. I don't have any skills. I'm destined to be a farmer. You're still young, so go ahead and do it if you want. If it doesn't work out, you can just come back and be a farmer. What's there to be afraid of?"

When Guan Ailian heard what her father-in-law said, her eyes became red. During this period of time, her father-in-law had not expressed his opinion, and she thought that he was just as unsupportive as her mother-in-law.

With the support of their father-in-law and their younger brother and his wife, they had more energy to work hard, and they immediately made the promise.

"Dad, don't worry. We will work hard and not let the money my sister-in-law and brother spend on road construction go to waste."

Seeing them make the decision right under her nose, Ma Xiuzhu felt very embarrassed. The thought of spending so much money on road construction was like cutting her flesh.

He said through gritted teeth.

"You guys can mess around like that! You will regret it later. When the money from contracting the mountain is divided among the villagers, everyone will be laughing, but you will be crying with your mouth wide open."

Yang Niannian was sitting with her knees hugged. When she heard Ma Xiuzhu's words, she glanced at her lightly.

"Mother-in-law, if you can help, then help. If you can't help, then keep your mouth shut. Don't do nothing but get angry. If you really piss off your eldest brother and his wife, and they don't respect you in the future, no one will stand up for you."

Ever since Ma Xiuzhu was stabbed in the stomach by a cow's horn, she has been in worse health than before. She is most afraid that her son and daughter-in-law are unfilial, so she felt a little panicked when she heard this.

Hurry up and say.

"I'm just worried that they'll lose money, but I didn't say I won't help. If they really take over the mountain, can I not help?"

When Guan Ailian heard this, she almost couldn't help laughing out loud. Her sister-in-law was really her mother-in-law's nemesis. She always found her mother-in-law's weak spot accurately.
