Chapter 77



Chen Jidong knew that Qiao Zhixia was mocking him, but he didn't take it too seriously. Now, apart from his son, he had nothing else to show off.

But Xia Hongmei on the side seemed not to hear the sarcasm in Qiao Zhixia's words, and actually thought that Qiao Zhixia was envious of her for having a grandson.

As soon as she opened her mouth, she was full of complacency and looked down on people with hatred.

"My eldest grandson weighed 20 pounds when he was born. He's a fat boy. You can be jealous of him! Who would want a woman without a good reputation?"

"Mom, please say something." Chen Jidong saw that Qiao Zhixia had a gloomy face and wanted to pull his mother away.

But Xia Hongmei didn't want to miss this rare opportunity to surpass Qiao Zhixia.

She shook off Chen Jidong, squinted her eyes at Qiao Zhixia, and said with disdain, "She was originally someone who we wanted even though she was willing to throw herself at us, so who would want her? She's been through a lot in her life, and if a woman has no man who wants her, she'd rather die than live."

Xia Hongmei's words were harsh, but Qiao Zhixia laughed instead of being angry: "You are right. I don't know what kind of death you have prepared for your daughter who has been in prison? How can a prisoner get married? If you have time to worry about me, you might as well go back and weave a rope for your own daughter to hang herself. What do you think?"

Xia Hongmei almost fell backwards in anger, pointing at Qiao Zhixia and cursing: "...you...it's all your fault that my Lingling died. You bastard, you dare to curse my daughter? How did you get struck to death by lightning?"

"Oh, some people are so stupid that they are afraid of being struck by lightning. What should I be afraid of? Even if I don't get married for the rest of my life, I can still make a lot of money. Your daughter still has to rely on you for her whole life. You better live longer and don't get yourself angry to death."

Xia Hongmei was so angry at Qiao Zhixia's words that she almost fell backwards. She pointed at her and kept saying "you you you" for a while, but she couldn't even fart completely. In the end, she was pulled away by Chen Jidong, who had a complicated expression on his face.

Qiao Zhixia went to Secretary Chen's house humming a song, and gave the 놛 family some specialties she brought back from Guangzhou.

After hearing the purpose of Qiao Zhixia's visit and learning that her career was growing bigger and bigger, Secretary Chen was very happy for her.

Since the township government also supports her, she will naturally cooperate with her.

So, the first time, Secretary Chen asked each household in the village to send a representative to hold a meeting in Qiao Zhixia's yard.

The meeting was jointly chaired by Secretary Chen and Qiao Zhixia, who prepared two contracts for this contract.

One is the year-end dividend combination, and the other is the acquisition combination based on the price.

Both policies involve purchasing seeds from her, and each household taking them home to plant according to the requirements.

The year-end dividend is calculated by summarizing each household’s total output for the year and distributing the dividend based on the total revenue.

The purchase system is that she purchases crops from each household at a set purchase price.

"We still have to spend money to buy her seeds? Are you trying to make money from us?" Someone looked suspicious.

Secretary Chen gave those who made malicious assumptions a cold look and said, "Xiao Qiao wants to help the villagers get rich together. If you think she wants to cheat you out of your money, you can leave now."

Another villager asked loudly: "We have contracted all our land to her, so what can we use to pay the public rations? We also need food ourselves!"

Take Secretary Chen for example. His family of six owns eight and a half mu of land and has to pay about 1,000 kilograms of public grain every year.

It would be fine if the harvest was good, but if there was a disaster or something, we would have to borrow food a few months after paying the public grain.

Qiao Zhixia stood up and said, "Regarding the public grain, I have already negotiated with the township government. I want to contract it to the farmers of Jingyang Group. After that, I will directly pay the agricultural tax and then go to the grain station to queue up for weighing in the form of public grain."

"What shall we eat?"

"You can buy basic food with money, or keep the basic farmland to grow it yourself. It's your choice."

As soon as Qiao Zhixia finished speaking, everyone started talking.

"It's like asking us country folk to go to the streets to buy food. Is that possible?"

"It doesn't even say how the dividends are divided! It would be more reliable to just let her pay for the purchase, right?"

"Bah~ I think none of them are reliable. Why should I give my own money to her to make money?" Chen Dacui was sitting at the back of the crowd with a gloomy look on her face.

When everyone was discussing how to make a decision, Secretary Chen took the lead and said, "I will take the lead in contracting my eight acres of land to Xiao Qiao and then sign the purchase agreement."

"Thank you, Secretary Chen, for your support." Qiao Zhixia expressed her sincere gratitude.

"We'll follow Qiao's lead and sign a profit-sharing partnership." The speaker was Uncle Gao.

"We believe in you, let's sign the contract..."

With someone taking the lead, people began to stand up one after another to express their opinions.

Half an hour later, more than ten households were willing to follow Qiao Zhixia.

The rest were obviously still hesitating and waiting. Qiao Zhixia had never expected to take over the entire village at once, and she didn't need so many for the time being.

For those who trust her, she will lead them out of poverty and become rich sooner, and for those who don't trust her, she will be reluctant.

We also acquired about 100 mu of land, which can temporarily meet the supply demand.

"That's it for today. Interested folks can come and line up to sign the contract. Let's take a close look at the contract before signing. If you have any questions, you can ask me."

The first person to sign was Party Secretary Chen. "Qiao, how much do you want to pay for this seed?"

Qiao Zhixia smiled and answered: "The cost of the seeds can be deducted from the amount when I purchase them, so you don't need to pay for the time being."

Secretary Chen nodded, looking delighted: "This is good, this is good..."

Some people who were still hesitating about taking the seed money immediately made a decision when they heard that this was possible, and lined up to sign.

The Qiao family's courtyard was bustling. Xia Hongmei and Chen Jidong, mother and son, stood outside the crowd and looked inside.

"Dongzi, do you think Qiao Zhixia really wants to make money with these people?" Xia Hongmei didn't believe it no matter what.

Chen Jidong also knew Qiao Zhixia's purpose. Now that he thought about it, he seemed to have never really understood or paid attention to Qiao Zhixia when he was with her.

At that time, it seemed that Qiao Zhixia was no different from that sticky maltose. Anyway, no matter how cold she was to her, she would probably leave.

So now we know whether Qiao Zhixia is really capable of leading these people to make money.

"Anyway, I'm reminding you! Our fields can't be taken advantage of by her. Let these unsophisticated peasants be fooled! There will be a time for us to cry."

"I think that's true. Who would be so kind as to help others get rich? That little bitch from the Qiao family is just lying. Only a fool would believe her." Chen Dacui also came over to help.

"She might want to make money by selling seeds. That must be the case..." Chen Jidong thought about it and decided that this was the most likely possibility.

"Bah~ You black-hearted bastard, you even deceived the villagers in your village, you deserve to die..."

All eight acres of land in Secretary Chen's family will be used to build greenhouses for cultivating Matsutake mushrooms, and the money for building the greenhouses must be paid by Secretary Chen himself.

When Secretary Chen's family learned that he had not earned a penny and had to spend more than 100 yuan first, they were naturally happy. Other villagers also came to see Secretary Chen's excitement.

But Secretary Chen still gritted his teeth and built the greenhouse. Since he had expressed his support, he naturally had to support it to the end.

Qiao Zhixia was in charge of technical guidance, and the rest of the work was done by Secretary Chen's three sons.

According to the contract, Qiao Zhixia is responsible for providing seeds for a fee and purchasing them on time and at a reasonable price, and the rest is up to them.

In this way, everyone will take good care of their own fields, greatly reducing Qiao Zhixia's pressure.

Under the guidance of Qiao Zhixia, eight acres of Matsutake were successfully covered with film.

A week later, the matsutake mushrooms successfully took shape.

Qiao Zhixia took some time to come and take a look and was basically satisfied.

"Secretary Chen, you have to take extra care. These matsutake mushrooms are going to be shipped overseas. Each one is very precious."

Secretary Chen had eaten it once at the Qiao family's Qiao Qian banquet last time, so he knew it was a good thing, and he also knew how valuable it was.

"Didn't you read our contract? I buy these matsutake mushrooms by the root, 60 cents a root, minus the cost of the seeds, the purchase price is also 10 cents per root."

When Party Secretary Chen heard this, he was stunned for a moment.

A single hair? There must be tens of thousands of hairs in this eight mu field. How could this be...

The more Secretary Chen calculated, the more frightened he became. He immediately shouted to his three sons, "Hurry up and build a shed next to the field. Take turns to guard it at night..."
