Wang Qian returned home and, as usual, went to buy potatoes and corn.
But by nightfall, when no one was around, the two quantities combined amounted to just over 30,000 jin.
Wang Qian had anticipated this result and was not too disappointed.
He only needs to do two things to get back on track and end this hectic life.
The first thing to do was to persuade the villagers to use 3,000 mu of land to grow grapes;
The second thing was to sell three thousand bottles of roasted green pepper sauce at five yuan per bottle, using my own methods.
However, achieving these two things will take time and is full of uncertainties.
"Brother-in-law, are you done with your work today?"
Just as Wang Qian was sitting in the courtyard deep in thought, a familiar voice suddenly came from not far away.
Looking up, Wang Qian couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Xiao Chao? What brings you back?"
The person who came was none other than his brother-in-law, Lin Chao.
At this moment, Lin Chao was wearing a cotton-padded jacket covered in patches and cloth shoes covered in mud.
They weren't wearing socks; their ankles were exposed and covered in mud.
When Wang Qian looked at him, he quickly lowered his head, not daring to meet Wang Qian's gaze, nor daring to walk over. He stood ten meters away, seemingly unsure of where to put his hands, and appeared very restrained.
"Sister, brother-in-law, I've come here to discuss something with you."
Under Wang Qian's watchful gaze, Lin Chao finally mustered his courage and strode over.
"Sit down first, and tell me what's on your mind!"
Wang Qian was patient enough to move a wooden stool over from the side and gesture for the other person to sit down.
Lin Chao didn't stand on ceremony. He plopped down, reached into his pocket, pulled out five hundred yuan, and handed it over. "Brother-in-law, this is the money you gave me at the hospital. I'm returning it to you now!"
"Give it back to me?"
Wang Qian did not reach out to take it, but a barely perceptible hint of disappointment flashed deep in his eyes.
It seems he really had too high expectations for his brother-in-law.
After all, he's only twenty-one years old, and his mind isn't mature yet.
In addition, having suffered the oppression of poverty since childhood, his so-called ambition and aspirations had long been extinguished.
Even when an opportunity is presented to them, they dare not reach out and seize it.
"Keep this money!"
Disappointed, Wang Qian still pushed Lin Chao's hand back, saying, "You covered for me for a few days, this money is nothing. If you need anything in the future, you can come to me anytime!"
"no!"
Lin Chao insisted, "You must get this money back. If I need money, I will earn it myself."
How will you earn it?
Wang Qian frowned. "Going to move bricks with your cousin?"
"Of course not!"
Lin Chao suddenly raised his head, staring intently at Wang Qian, "Brother-in-law, I've thought it through, I want to work with you!"
"Oh? You want to work with me?"
Wang Qian raised an eyebrow. "Weren't you supposed to be working on a construction site carrying bricks? Why do you suddenly want to come work for me?"
"I...I want to earn more money!"
Lin Chao mustered his courage and said, "I'm not afraid of hardship or fatigue, but you can't earn much money carrying bricks on a construction site."
"If Dad suddenly needs surgery again, I simply won't have that much money to spare."
“If I work for you, brother-in-law, I can start learning how to do business. Even if you don’t pay me wages, I can do some small business after I’ve learned how.”
"Moving bricks is only a temporary thing; I have to plan for the future!"
Wang Qian was somewhat surprised after hearing Lin Chao's words.
Have you finally figured it out?
It's truly pathetic if you don't even have the courage to fight for what you want.
fortunately,
Lin Chao did not disappoint him.
"Brother-in-law, is it okay?"
He didn't answer, so Lin Chao cautiously asked another question.
"sure!"
Wang Qian smiled, but still didn't take the money. He simply said, "Consider this five hundred yuan as your wages for helping me during this time."
"No, this is too much!"
Lin Chao shook his head repeatedly and said, "I've only been helping you for a few days, you don't need to give me so much. Besides, you paid for Dad's surgery."
"Just take it!"
Wang Qian insisted, "As for Dad's surgery fee, it's my responsibility to pay it, so you don't need to pay me back."
"But……"
"No buts!"
Lin Chao was about to say something when Wang Qian interrupted him, "Work hard for me from now on, and you'll definitely make a lot of money."
"Well... okay!"
Under Wang Qian's insistence, Lin Chao had no choice but to reluctantly agree.
"By the way, if you work for me, I'll definitely have to pay you a salary in the future."
Wang Qian asked, "Tell me, how many do you want?"
His business will grow bigger and bigger in the future, and he will definitely need some capable and trustworthy helpers around him.
Aside from his wife Lin Xiaoyu, Lin Chao is clearly the most suitable candidate.
As for his wife, she just gave birth and needs to rest for a while before taking care of the baby.
If Lin Chao can be trained, he would indeed be a good candidate.
"Brother-in-law, whatever you say is fine!"
Lin Chao gave an awkward smile, "If you don't want this five hundred yuan, then for the next six months I'll take my salary. I'll do whatever you ask me to do, brother-in-law, okay?"
"Stop dwelling on that five hundred yuan!"
Wang Qian said impatiently, "Those things are in the past. From now on, you'll work for me, and I'll pay you a salary. But I need you to show enough courage and confidence. Do you understand what I mean?"
