Chapter 264 A Heartless Father and Son (2/2)



His wife, Cheng Hongwei, kept tossing and turning, disturbing his sleep, so she kicked him off the bed.

"You should still be worried. Qiao Sheng and Liang Xiu will report you tomorrow."

"If you eat the peanuts, I'll take the children and remarry."

After saying that, she turned over, clutching the blanket, and took the blanket with her.

Cheng Hongwei got up from the ground; his wife was already asleep.

He didn't sleep all night.

Before dawn

He took the villagers' registration book and rode his bicycle to Xiangyang Brigade.

No one knows what he said, but Cheng Hongwei bought 600 jin of mung beans on the day he returned. Xiahou Xing's Xiangyang Brigade was the second richest in the commune; they owned tractors.

Cheng Hongwei returned on a tractor belonging to the Xiangyang Brigade, the back of which was full of mung beans.

He distributed the mung beans to his teammates.

No money is charged, only accounting is done.

We'll settle the bill after the bean sprouts are sold.

Each team member only needs to provide some pots and jars from their home for germination.

Cheng Hongwei was extremely busy. He led several experienced team members to personally guide each household. Some villagers who were sprouting beans for the first time were not very skilled and ruined a lot of mung beans.

The final result was good.

One pound of mung beans can yield eight or nine pounds of bean sprouts.

Five or six more days passed, and Cheng Hongwei's second batch of bean sprouts was ready to be delivered.

The villagers who participated in the second round of bean sprouting had happy smiles on their faces.

They calculated that, after deducting the cost of the mung beans, they could earn one cent per pound of bean sprouts. They had at least one hundred pounds of bean sprouts at home, which meant they would earn at least one dollar this time.

One yuan may not be much to others, but it is a lot to farmers like them, especially to those who are about to go hungry.

That's an enormous sum of money.

They were especially grateful to Cheng Hongwei for helping them sprout.

They completely forgot how they used to call him an outsider.

Cheng Hongwei was happy.

Some people were unhappy.

Qiao Sheng lay in bed for half a month, but finally couldn't help but smash the bowl again.

Qiao Wanyue looked at the shards of metal at her feet and said coldly, "Qiao Sheng, you're not trying to trick me into coming back to take care of you, are you? You're just faking being sick, aren't you?"

Qiao Sheng on the bed: !

I forgot that brat is still around.

Qiao Sheng immediately lay listlessly on the bed.

One second she's as strong as an ox, the next she's like a sickly beauty.

Illness strikes like a landslide.

Qiao Xingjia immediately went over and helped Qiao Sheng up. "Wanyue, what are you saying? How could Dad lie to you? The doctor did say Dad didn't have long to live, but you came back and miraculously I lived a few more days."

Perhaps there was some unresolved issue in his past, but your return has resolved it...

Qiao Wanyue interrupted him directly, "I've been here long enough. If he doesn't die in three days at the latest, I'll go home."

After she finished speaking, she turned and left.

Once Qiao Sheng confirmed that she was gone, he relaxed and collapsed onto the bed.

"Xingjia, she's leaving."

A glint of malice flashed in Qiao Xingjia's eyes. "Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

Qiao Sheng lay paralyzed on the bed.

His gaze was shifty.

"ASAP."

The father and son exchanged a glance, both seeing the ruthlessness in each other's eyes.

They looked at each other and smiled.
