Chapter 52: You can’t catch a wolf without sacrificing a child

Huang Xinran was naturally very happy as he made a lot of money and sold all the cherries in the future.

After everyone got home from work and had dinner, she finally found the opportunity to tell the story.

"…I was just trying to see if I could exchange money, but I didn't expect that someone would be interested in me and even sign a contract and pay a deposit. Now, I'm just waiting for the fruits on the cherry trees to ripen so that they can come and pick them."

She took out the small fruits that she had left behind after selecting them yesterday: "These cherries are small and substandard products. Mom and Dad, try them and see if you like them."

"It's this cherry..."

Lu Tianlei was dumbfounded, and his hands were shaking as he pointed at the cherries: "These fruits, 20 for only 5 yuan?"

"right."

Huang Xinran made no secret: "This kind of cherries, about 30 pieces make up one kilogram. In other words, one kilogram of cherries is worth 7.5 yuan."

7.5 yuan per pound?

Lu Tianlei felt a buzzing sound in his head, was completely stunned, and lost the ability to respond.

How could he believe that the dozen or so cherry trees on the hill behind were worth so much?

"The money..."

"I used part of the money to buy rice, flour, oil, salt, etc. The rest is all here."

Huang Xinran also thought carefully before deciding to take out this money.

Without her "Qingdi Heart Sutra", there would be no such delicious cherries, and without her running back and forth, it would be impossible to sell cherries at a high price. But in the final analysis, although the cherry trees were planted by Lu Yunchen, the private mountain is the Lu family's mountain, she eats at the Lu family, lives at the Lu family, and now has a pair of children growing up in the Lu family.

Taking out such a large sum of money, besides considering sharing the money with the Lu family, she also wanted to test them.

Does the Lu family really treat her as a daughter-in-law, or are they just greedy for money? Now, it depends on the Lu family's choice!

After all, you can’t catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb!

The previous 900 yuan, plus the 1000 yuan deposit given by Sun Ya today, plus the cherries sold today, Huang Xinran took out 2000 yuan in one breath, which really surprised the two elders of the Lu family.

"This... this is too much!"

Lu Tianlei and Zhang Wenbi were both very interested.

At that moment, the two people's minds raced. In front of money, how many people could keep their emotions under control?

Lu Tianlei was slow to move, and Zhang Wenbi was anxious, so she bumped into the old man's arm. Lu Tianlei glared at her and finally raised his head.

"Does Yun Chen also know about this?"

"Yes. The food I brought back last night was what he and I brought back from the county town. It was what Mom hid last night."

"Yes, that's true."

Being suddenly pointed out by Huang Xinran, Zhang Wenbi had to force a smile.

"Now that you know this, you can do it boldly."

Lu Tianlei pushed the money in front of Huang Xinran and said, "Come to think of it, those cherry trees were planted by the fourth brother himself for you. I didn't expect that they would make so much money this year when they started to bear fruits in large quantities. Take this money back and save it for emergencies. Yaya and Maomao are growing up day by day, and there are many places where we need money."

"Hey you..."

Zhang Wenbi tried to stop him, but Lu Tianlei glared at her again and she had to stop talking.

Huang Xinran shook his head and pushed the money back: "Dad, although those cherry trees were planted by Lu Yunchen, they belong to the Lu family's private mountain. You should take the money. How about this, we each split it in half. What do you think?"

Zhang Wenbi was very tempted!

After all, she is just an ordinary person. It would be a lie if she wasn't tempted by such a large sum of money.

"How can this be so embarrassing..."

She subconsciously reached out to take it, but Lu Tianlei stopped her with a loud cough.

"What are you taking? Do you have the nerve to take money from the youngsters?"

After saying that, he decisively pushed the money in front of Huang Xinran and said, "It is said that money should not be exposed. Hurry up and put it away, otherwise others will see it and be unable to explain it!"

"you……"

Zhang Wenbi was angry and stared at the money with his teeth clenched.

The old man's words sounded nice. He was not the head of the family, so he didn't know how expensive rice was. He married several wives in succession, but he still couldn't get over the mess. But he was so shameless that he pushed away such a large sum of money?

"Dad, I told you that half of this money should be yours."

Huang Xinran counted out a thousand yuan and put it in front of the two elders: "Having said that, Yun Chen has been in the army all these years, and my two children and I have always relied on your care. The two elders have also given us a lot in these years. Your daughter-in-law has always seen it and kept it in mind. Now I finally have the opportunity to repay the two elders, you must accept this money no matter what!"

"Okay, okay, it's rare that you have this kind of heart."

Having said that, it would be embarrassing if he didn't accept it, so Lu Tianlei finally relented: "I'll take this money for now. If you need it later, just tell Dad. Okay?"

"Got it, Dad."

Regardless of whether the other party's intentions were sincere or false, at least the money had a clear path forward for the Lu family.

There were also cherries from the mountain that the Lu family kept for themselves, which were also put on the market. With this sum of money hanging in the balance, I don't think Lu's father and mother would stop her from selling them.

Sure enough, after Zhang Wenbi happily put away the money, Lu Tianlei turned around and walked out without saying a word.

"I'll go take a look in the field!"

Cherries are so valuable, shouldn't we protect them well?

The more Lu Tianlei thought about it, the more unsafe he felt, especially when he went to the field and saw the cherries on the trees that had begun to turn red. He became even more worried!

Where did Yun Chen find the cherry tree?

The cherries were obviously not ordinary cherries. The heads were more than twice as big as the local cherries. I'm afraid one of them was more than three times the size of the normal cherries.

He was overjoyed and counted the cherries one by one. Huang Xinran said that 20 cherries were 5 yuan. How many 5 yuan would it cost to buy a tree full of fruits?

For this reason, he even stopped going to the fields to earn work points in the afternoon, and vowed to stay in the fields until the cherries were fully ripe.

Huang Xinran found it funny.

I really can't believe that Lu Tianlei, who is usually so serious, would actually do such a thing?

Zhang Wenbi also followed him to the field, staring at the trees full of cherry fruits with shining eyes.

"I don't know where the fourth brother found the cherry trees back then. If there are still some, why not plant more so that they can produce more cherries?"

"We have to wait for Lao Si to come back and ask him. But before that, I plan to eat and live in this land. You should go back quickly and bring me the food."

"...Okay, I'll ask the fourth brother later."

The two elders' words made Huang Xinran laugh and cry.
