Chapter 80: Money and Money Move People's Hearts
Lu Tianlei was well aware that his fruit trees had always been coveted by others.
Last time, something went wrong while he was on guard and someone set fire to the cherry trees. He didn't say anything, but he felt very guilty in his heart.
Now Sun Ya is here again and says she wants to buy a cherry tree?
Lu Tianlei narrowed his eyes dangerously, looked at Sun Ya and smiled.
Huang Xinran was happy to watch the show from the side, watching Lu Tianlei and Sun Ya practice Tai Chi. Lu Tianlei was old and shrewd, and Sun Ya was straightforward and anxious to buy cherry trees. She was originally at a disadvantage, and was then led around by Lu Tianlei, which made Huang Xinran feel relieved.
By the time Sun Ya reacted, she was already sitting in the main hall of the Lu family, eating the corn syrup that Huang Xinran had specially cooked for her, and forcing herself to suppress the look of confusion on her face.
Didn't she come here for the cherry trees?
But in the end, she bought those cherry trees according to her own psychological limit, and even signed a contract with them to buy additional young corn and mulberries.
God knows, she had no intention of buying it...
Sun Ya left in a daze, but she gave them the full amount of money for buying the cherry trees, which was a thick stack in Lu Tianlei's hand.
Looking at the large stack of reunions, the eyes of every member of the Lu family lit up.
"I never thought that cherry trees could be sold for such a large sum of money..."
Lu Tianlei was extremely moved and looked at Huang Xinran again: "Mrs. Yunchen, why are you willing to sell those cherry trees to the other party?" Naturally, he had the confidence to negotiate the price with Sun Ya only after obtaining Huang Xinran's consent.
"Dad, don't you think it feels best to see cash? Besides, no one can tell how many fruits those cherry trees will bear in the future. Moreover, there are more than one or two people eyeing our Lu family..."
Huang Xinran was happy. She was a family member and knew her own business. Those cherry trees were originally ordinary varieties, but they were stimulated by her ability. Without her continuous output, within three to five years, those fruit trees would lose their strength and the fruits they produced would become less and less every year.
And she has supernatural powers. She can give birth to a mutant cherry tree, so naturally she can also give birth to ten or a hundred...
Moreover, as she said just now, no one can guarantee how many cherries the cherry tree will bear. So many people are watching it, and even if it bears fruit next year, who knows how many branches it will have.
Now, they have made a lot of money by selling the cherry trees.
The money you get in your hands is the real money.
"Ran Ran said it well. The money in our hands is real money. The rest is empty."
Zhang Wenbi was very excited. "That's great. With this money, we can also renovate this house. Speaking of which, Yun Chen and Ran Ran got married in a hurry, and this house has not been repaired for many years. It's time to tear it down and rebuild it. By then, we can expand the area so that Yaya and Maomao don't have too much space when they grow up..."
"Mom!~"
Lu Yunqian, who was listening to the excitement, was extremely anxious and hurriedly called Zhang Wenbi: "This house is still good. I think it will be fine to live in it for another few decades or even hundreds of years. On the contrary, I am not young anymore. Aren't you helping me find a wife? When I get married, the dowry will be indispensable..."
Oh, are you eyeing the money in Lu Tianlei's hands?
Huang Xinran was so angry that she laughed at the other party's shamelessness.
Want to use this money as her dowry? How can you be so shameless?
"Shut up! Do you have the right to talk here?!"
Fortunately, Lu Tianlei was reasonable. Before Lu Yunqian finished her words, he slammed the table and said, "You are lazy at work, and you can scold people to death when you open your mouth. You don't like anyone in your family. You are like this, and you still want a dowry? Where is your face? Don't you care about your face?!"
These words made Lu Yunqian burst into tears.
"Dad, are you still my dad? Why do you say that to me?"
"It's better for me to scold you than for you to be unable to distinguish right from wrong and be scolded by your husband's family. Go back to your room!"
"You...Okay, I'm redundant, right? Okay, I'm leaving!~"
Lu Yunqian burst into tears, turned around and ran out of the yard.
She couldn't stay in this house any longer.
"She ran away again... Look at the good daughter you raised!" Lu Tianlei was furious and turned around to get angry at Zhang Wenbi again.
Zhang Wenbi was also very angry. She didn't understand what he said and she refuted it immediately.
Huang Xinran was quite calm.
Regardless of whether Mr. and Mrs. Lu were just playing double game or really thought so, she would definitely not give up the money from selling the cherry trees.
As for Lu Yunqian, if she had spoken kindly to her, it would have been fine. As the fourth sister-in-law, she didn't mind her husband's family giving her a dowry, and she even gave some cosmetics. But Lu Yunqian was just a wolf that could never be fed. She didn't want to work hard for nothing, and even complain after giving her money.
Just as the two elders were arguing, there was a commotion outside and suddenly it became lively.
It turned out that Sun Ya was worried that things might change (she was frightened by the last arson case), so she specially called people to help move the trees. The people she brought were heading to the Lu family's private mountain to dig up cherry trees.
Huang Xinran also saw Sun Ya's cousin Liang Wei in the crowd.
The other party obviously saw her and nodded slightly at her. Huang Xinran smiled back.
Soon, the news that the Lu family sold the cherry trees spread like wildfire.
The cherry trees here haven't been dug up yet, but over there, several brothers from the Lu family have gathered at Lu's house, asking how much the cherry trees were sold for.
Looking at the bustling house, Huang Xinran hid in the house and continued to cut cloth. While the weather was getting hot, he had to turn all the cloth into clothes and exchange it for money as soon as possible.
In the evening, when Sun Ya's people dug up the cherry tree and carried it away, the discussion in the Lu family reached a fever pitch.
The Lu brothers rarely get together except during the Chinese New Year. They all sit together, and even when it is time for dinner, they have no intention of going home.
Since ancient times, wealth has been the most attractive thing.
The ancients did not deceive me.
Now everyone knows that Lu Tianlei has some money from selling cherry trees, and his sons are talking about being short of money. The deep meaning is self-evident.
Huang Xinran had no intention of going upstairs, and she did not go out to cook when it got dark. She did not leave the house until the meal was ready and she was called to eat.
The two children were held in the arms of their second aunt and third aunt respectively.
It was obvious that Yaya and Maomao were not used to it. They kept twisting their bodies to try to get down, but they failed.
"Fourth brother's wife is here! Come quickly, come over here and sit with us."
The sister-in-law greeted her warmly and waved at her constantly.
Huang Xinran waved her hands and said, "Sister-in-law, please eat first. I'll go to the kitchen to check first."
She had always been dissatisfied with Lu Yunchen, and as a result, she seldom interacted with the sisters-in-law of the Lu family, and she only interacted with them out of courtesy.
