"If Feifei comes back and sees that my sister-in-law has opened her own embroidery shop, she'll definitely look for something else to do, and she won't work with my sister-in-law. So, I thought of planting some fruit trees. Feifei really likes eating fruit, and I don't know when I'll be able to find her. Maybe by the time I find her and she comes back, the fruit will have been sold for several harvests, and Ning will be in school!"
As Cheng Wu spoke, his expression became gloomy.
Shanshui and Cheng Yue looked at each other.
My second brother is so pitiful.
Well, your second brother is very pitiful.
I don't even know my brother-in-law is around, ah...
well……
The two of them talked silently. Cheng Wu was sad for a while, then he cheered up again.
"So, Fatty, Shanshui, you have to help me! Even if you don't want to cooperate with me, you should at least help me get some soil from home! If I go and Dad finds out, I'll definitely lose my legs!"
Cheng Wu looked at the two of them pitifully.
"Brother, if Dad finds me, I'll lose both my legs. Don't you see that Dad treats our vegetable garden like an ancestral spirit?"
Cheng Yue was speechless.
"At most you'll get a scolding! Besides, you have to run in the morning and get up earlier than the old man. If you work it out little by little day by day, he won't notice. He's been in a good mood lately."
Cheng Wu chuckled.
Cheng Yue rolled her eyes.
"Let's do this, second brother. If Fuzi brings back enough seeds tomorrow, then I'll agree to your request. To be honest, the last time I suggested we buy some wasteland, it was also to plant fruit trees, but I just haven't had the time. Since the snack stand business is over, I decided to ask where I can buy fruit seedlings. Since second brother has the channels to get them, that's even better."
"One more thing. You have one hundred taels of silver. Buy your own land! Find a way to pay for the seeds yourself. Shanshui and I can manage your land, but you must buy seeds for us and your family. You will also be responsible for selling the seeds when they mature. You manage your one hundred acres of land, and when the profits come back, you can give Shanshui and me 40% of the profits. Do you agree?"
Cheng Yue thought for a moment and said.
"So, I'll only be in charge of the seeds and subsequent sales, while you and Shanshui will be responsible for managing the land. I'll take 60% and you'll take 40%, right?"
Cheng Wu's eyes lit up. If that was the case, that would be great.
"Yes. If you have more money, buy another hundred acres, and Shanshui and I will manage it for you. How about that?"
Cheng Yue smiled.
"Okay, it's a deal. Tomorrow morning, after Dad goes to the fields, I'll bring Fuzi back. Once we've decided on the melon seeds and how many saplings we need, I'll go to Rongzhou myself."
Cheng Wu agreed readily.
The matter of planting melons was thus decided.
Cheng Wu happily took the child back home, and was very considerate to leave Shanshui and Cheng Yue some time alone.
"Ayue, can you grow melons?"
Shanshui asked after Cheng Wu left.
Seeing Cheng Yue speaking with such confidence, he was very confused.
"No! But there's soil from my home! Don't you know how magical my soil is?"
Cheng Yue has no plans to tell Shanshui about the palm lotus in her hand yet. Fortunately, the magical things that happened in her yard were accepted by her family, otherwise she would have no excuse.
Shanshui thought about it and agreed. The soil in the Cheng family’s yard was truly amazing. Growing fruit here should be possible!
