"Borrow money?"
Li Weidong was momentarily confused: "What does he need the money for?"
Shen Xiaoyan realized what was going on: "You don't mean you want to borrow money to grow mushrooms, do you?"
"you do not say!"
Zhao Xiulian nodded: "He's really going all out, determined to give it his all and have a good competition with you!"
Although she believed in her son's abilities, she was still uneasy because someone was watching him like this, and many of the farmers she was supposed to work with had been taken away.
Li Weidong chuckled: "If he wants to do it, let him do it. Why are you so concerned? Do you really think he can succeed? What a joke!"
Tiger's half-baked knowledge is laughable enough for teaching people how to grow mushrooms, but now he's even taking out a loan to go all out?
The chances of the sun rising in the west are probably greater than the chances of him succeeding!
Zhao Xiulian sighed: "Whether it can be done or not, no one knows since construction hasn't even started. What if it succeeds?"
If it works out, given that family's personality, wouldn't they come over to show off?
She felt stifled just thinking about it, and continued, "I think he put a lot of effort into this. I heard from the villagers that he even wants to use his old house and homestead as collateral to borrow money from people in our village!"
Zhang Bin became curious: "Did someone really lend it to him?"
Zhao Xiulian scoffed, "How could that be! That plot of land is only worth a few dollars. He's probably still trying to raise the money right now."
Then he muttered, "It would be best if we couldn't borrow any money and couldn't get the business started!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Li Weidong's heart stirred.
He was worried about how to get his hands on that plot of land, but the opportunity just happened to come knocking on his door!
Even God is on his side!
"I'm stuffed!"
Li Weidong didn't hesitate; he put down his chopsticks and hurriedly left.
"Where is my brother going?"
Li Xiaoli looked bewildered.
The others shook their heads, but didn't ask any further questions.
After all, Li Weidong has always been a man of strong will. The fact that he's in such a hurry to leave means he must have something important to do!
Li Weidong was walking briskly, indeed rushing to take care of important business.
...
"Zhu Zi, I need to tell you something!"
When Li Weidong arrived at Zhuzi's house, Zhuzi's family was having breakfast.
Upon seeing Li Weidong arrive, Zhu Zi quickly finished his bowl of porridge, wiped his mouth, and greeted him, "Brother Weidong, what brings you here? Have you eaten? Want to have something at my place?"
"My mom's pickled vegetables are so delicious!"
Zhu Zi's mother laughed and scolded, "How can you be like this? People come to your door and you expect them to eat pickled vegetables?"
She put down her chopsticks and said, "Weidong, please sit down. Your aunt will make you some sweet egg soup."
Ever since Zhu Zi helped Li Weidong make a fortune last time, the whole family has been treating Li Weidong like royalty.
Li Weidong quickly said, "Auntie, you eat your food, don't worry about me. I've already eaten at home. I came here to talk to Zhuzi about something."
Zhu Zi quickly replied, "Is it about growing mushrooms? Then there's no need to say more, I'll definitely do it with you."
She rolled her eyes again as she spoke: "That kid Tiger has never done anything reliable since he was a kid. He even led everyone to grow mushrooms. I think he looks like a mushroom himself!"
We're from the same village, grew up together, and know each other inside and out.
How could he not know Tiger's past?
Li Weidong chuckled, then said seriously, "It's not about that, I was thinking..."
He pulled Zhu into the room and lowered his voice, saying, "Hasn't Hu Zi been borrowing money everywhere lately?"
"I want you to step in and lend him the money!"
"What?!"
Zhu Zi's eyes widened immediately: "Brother Wei Dong, you're not kidding, are you? Lending money to Hu Zi? Why?"
He became more and more confused as he spoke: "Tiger is really determined to go against you now. I even heard him telling others that he's determined to beat you this time!"
"If you lend him money, aren't you helping him? What's in it for you?"
Li Weidong smirked: "Don't ask so many questions. I'll give you the contract later, and you can just do as I say."
Zhu Zi idolized Li Weidong to the point of worship, and seeing his certainty, he didn't ask any more questions.
He nodded and said, "Okay, Brother Weidong, you must have your reasons for doing this. Leave this to me, I'll handle it perfectly!"
I don't know what kind of luck Tiger had, he was always going against Brother Wei Dong, but Brother Wei Dong actually didn't hold a grudge and was willing to lend him money.
What a good person!
Zhu Zi secretly made up his mind that he would follow Li Weidong for the rest of his life!
After all, Li Weidong can help that ungrateful wretch, so if I follow him loyally, I definitely won't be able to endure any hardship!
Li Weidong nodded in satisfaction: "Okay, then I'll go prepare the loan agreement now. Come to my house to pick it up after you've had lunch later. It would be best if we could get it done today."
After all, the sooner the matter of the homestead is settled, the more at ease he will be.
afternoon.
Zhu Zi took the contract and went straight to Hu Zi's house to explain his purpose.
"You can lend me money?!"
Tiger was short of money, and when he saw this man come to him, he was both surprised and delighted: "What a perfect opportunity! I was just worried about not having enough money, you've really helped me a lot!"
"You can grow mushrooms with me later. I'll teach you step by step, and we'll work together and get rich together!"
Zhu Zi chuckled and handed over the contract: "No need for mushroom cultivation, let's talk about the money first!"
"I'll lend you the money, but this is the collateral..."
Tiger replied without hesitation, "Sure, sure! You can have either a house or a plot of land, either is fine!"
Anyway, once the mushrooms grow, I'll have money. Then I can pay back the money, and everything after that will be pure profit!
