You should know that their family's total savings amounted to only 168.5 yuan.
After deducting the 15 yuan car rental fee and the 96 yuan spent on buying potatoes, Wang Qian should only have a little over 50 yuan left.
Tomorrow, Wang Qian will have to take this truckload of potatoes to the county town.
You'll inevitably need to refuel and incur other expenses along the way.
So even though they could buy more than 500 jin of potatoes for just over 50 yuan, they dared not buy any more.
Most importantly, they always believed that Wang Qian was making a losing deal.
The more potatoes they harvested, the greater their losses.
"Dear uncles and aunties, I'm going to buy potatoes in large quantities, and I'll be buying them for a long time."
Wang Qian had naturally considered everyone's concerns, and pointed to the tractor trailer, which was already more than half full, "But as you can see, the tractor is carrying too little; it can only carry a little over a thousand kilograms at a time."
"I just collected over 900 jin, and my family also has several hundred jin, which makes a full truckload."
"So we won't be accepting any more today!"
Not wanting to disappoint everyone, he quickly added, "But please rest assured, uncles and aunts, we will continue to make purchases tomorrow."
"If you trust me, you can go to the field and dig up the potatoes first, and then carry them to my house tomorrow. I will pay you in cash and I will not owe you a single penny."
Although the explanation was quite reasonable, the people who came to inquire were inevitably somewhat disappointed.
They came here intending to say hello and then go home to bring back potatoes.
If Wang Qian doesn't accept it, then we'll have to wait until tomorrow.
Moreover, it remains to be seen whether Wang Qian will continue to accept bribes tomorrow.
Of course, despite their disappointment, no one complained. After chatting for a while, they left one after another.
Aunt Chen, who was watching from a distance, burst into gloating laughter.
"Haha, I knew it! Wang Qian was just putting on a brave face. Now you all believe me, right?"
"If I'm not mistaken, he must be out of money, that's why he can't afford to collect more potatoes!"
"Do you believe it or not, he's spending so much money to buy potatoes, it's all going to be a waste."
Wang Qian heard Aunt Chen's sarcastic remarks, but he didn't take them seriously.
He spent money to buy potatoes not to prove anything to anyone.
He just wanted to earn enough money to give his family a better life.
As for village shrewish women like Aunt Chen, he really didn't have the mood or energy to deal with them.
However,
After dinner, as he was getting ready to go to bed, he overheard his parents having a conversation next door.
"Xiaoqian's dad, we have to pay the grain tax in two months. We've worked so hard to save up this little bit of money. If Xiaoqian squanders it all, how will we pay the tax?"
It was his mother, Lu Aihua's, voice.
Immediately, his father Wang Yuanguang's voice rang out, "Forget it, we'll figure something out later. It's rare for Xiaoqian to cheer up like this. Even if this business loses money, as long as he doesn't use it for gambling, we'll accept it."
"Okay, as long as Xiaoqian is willing to work hard and has ambition, he should know what he should and shouldn't do after this lesson."
Hearing these conversations, Wang Qian's guilt erupted like a torrent, unstoppable.
Even though his parents firmly believed that his business would lose money, they did not forcibly stop him.
This shows how tolerant his parents are of him.
In his previous life, however, he was so despicable that he was beyond redemption, and he failed all those who had given him so much in this world.
