Xia Hongmei pointed at the good-for-nothing Wang Ruoqiu and scolded him, "Except for your higher education than Qiao Zhixia, you are really inferior to her in every way! When she was dating our Dongzi, she arranged everything for our family. Look at you now, you can't even wash your clothes properly, and you only know how to seduce men!"
"What's the use of being educated? You can't make money, but you're great at spending it." Chen Lingling fanned the flames by picking at her fingernails.
Wang Ruoqiu's face was filled with humiliation. She turned to Chen Jidong and cried to him, saying that his mother and sister disrespected her and humiliated her.
Chen Jidong looked at Wang Ruoqiu, who had a circle of fat around her waist and a body that always smelled of milk and sweat after giving birth. Sometimes she was too lazy to even wash her face, and she fed her child with messy hair.
How could she still look half as charming and charming as before?
In addition, his recent loan application was not going smoothly, so he had even less patience to coax her.
"They are my closest family members. You have to take good care of them for me. This is your responsibility and obligation as a daughter-in-law. Why do they want to humiliate you? You should think about whether you have done something wrong. Don't bother me with these things in the future."
When he was dating Qiao Zhixia, there were no such things. She was always able to handle the conflicts between her and his sister so that they could not find fault.
So...he had the time and energy to watch movies with Wang Ruoqiu, eat Western food, and enjoy the excitement in the dark.
Wang Ruoqiu listened to his righteous and confident request and could not believe his ears.
The tears of grievance suddenly became uncontrollable, "Brother Dong, you were not like this before, you don't love me, right?"
Chen Jidong looked at her tearful face coldly. He didn't know since when her tears could no longer arouse his sympathy, but only disgust and irritation.
"Are you done yet? Love, love, love! Can love be eaten? Don't you and your son need to eat? Do you know how much money I spend on you? Can't you stay at home to take care of the children and take good care of your mother-in-law?"
Wang Ruoqiu was choked up, and she couldn't utter a word.
She almost couldn't maintain her gentle and delicate image.
No matter how beautiful love is, it will face challenges when mixed with the daily necessities of life.
What's more, the relationship between them is just covered with the shell of love, but in fact it is mixed with many sordid truths.
In the next two weeks, Qiao Zhixia arranged the planting of the new contractors according to the order requirements.
Thirty acres of land are used to grow Chinese cabbage and radish for export, and the rest of the land is used to grow other seasonal vegetables and medicinal herbs.
Previously, the system prompted that her spiritual spring had been upgraded to the point where it could irrigate common medicinal herbs, so she conducted a special market survey for this purpose.
According to the current market conditions of medicinal materials, she selected several with the greatest demand and the highest returns.
Especially astragalus, wild gastrodia elata, Euryale ferox, and yam.
Her current company holds a license for the food industry. If it wants to grow medicinal herbs, it has to complete relevant procedures and then be able to buy and sell them legally.
But the ones she chose are not a big problem, because they are not only medicinal herbs, but also widely used food ingredients.
After these things are grown, they can be sold to pharmaceutical companies as medicinal materials, or they can be processed into food ingredients. They have a wide range of sales and a huge market.
Soon, it was the day to harvest the matsutake mushrooms in Secretary Chen’s fields.
Secretary Chen was the first person to sign a purchase contract with Qiao Zhixia, and was also the first person to deliver the goods.
Early in the morning, many villagers, carrying their bowls, gathered at the edge of the field to join in the fun.
They all wanted to see how much money Secretary Chen Fei could make from all the hard work he put in setting up the shed and guarding the place day and night.
"I heard that Secretary Chen's family spent more than a hundred yuan just on the tent."
"Isn't it? Several of his sons at home are still arguing with him?"
"I think it's expensive enough. After deducting the cost, we still have to pay agricultural taxes. Such a big family still needs to buy food. Will there be any money left in the end?"
The villagers talked while eating, as if they had already anticipated the miserable days that Secretary Chen's family would have no money to buy rice this year.
There are strict requirements for picking Matsutake mushrooms, and the roots must be intact and can be put into baskets.
This time, in addition to the people who picked the fruits, Qiao Zhixia also specially hired someone to be in charge of packaging.
Each matsutake is wrapped according to the buyer's requirements and then carefully placed in a special cardboard box with a load-bearing board.
Qiao Zhixia ordered the packaging boxes from a carton factory. The company name and corporate slogan were printed on the front: [Jingyang Agriculture, your dietary health guard]
Seeing how carefully the mushrooms were packed, some people couldn't help but murmur, "Why are these big mushrooms packed so tightly? Aren't they going to be sold in the market?"
"What do you know? This thing has been bought by someone a long time ago. It is said that it was bought by a foreigner. It is very valuable abroad." The villagers who had heard something about it before began to proudly explain to other people who knew nothing.
"Just keep bragging! This stuff is worth a few cents per pound at most, and we may not even be able to sell it!" Xia Hongmei, who was silently watching the excitement in the crowd, couldn't help but speak.
Two years ago, she and Chen Wen-ge went to her sister's in-laws' home, where wild matsutake mushrooms grow. People there don't eat them at all. Some people sell them on the street, but no one wants them even at a low price per pound.
She really wasn't lying.
"What do you women know? This thing is worthless locally, but it will be valuable if you sell it outside!" An old man pretended to know something.
Xia Hongmei was choked and speechless. Who told her that she was no longer a high-ranking city dweller?
But she still didn't believe that these matsutake mushrooms could be sold for money.
The harvest of Matsutake mushrooms lasted for three days.
On the third day, three trucks stopped on the main road in the village early in the morning and waited for me.
After counting and statistics, excluding dozens of accidentally damaged ones, a total of more than 30,000 Matsutake mushrooms were harvested this time.
What follows is a tense moment in the spotlight, when Qiao Zhixia should give the money.
Many people had waited for days without getting their money paid, so they crowded in front of Secretary Chen's house to wait.
Qiao Zhixia had prepared the money in advance. According to the purchase price of each Matsutake hair, she needed to pay Secretary Chen 19,900 yuan.
"Secretary Chen, there are 19,900 yuan in here, please count it!" Qiao Zhixia handed a bulging black briefcase to Secretary Chen's family.
When the figure of 10,000, 1,000 or 100 yuan came out, everyone, including Secretary Chen himself, was dumbfounded.
The yard with dozens of people squatting there was dead silent until Secretary Chen's wife shouted, "Oh my God, why is there so much money?"
In about a month, they earned nearly 20,000 yuan!
This... who would have dared to think of this in the past?
According to the current market price of 1.2 yuan per catty of rice, 20,000 yuan can buy more than 100,000 catties of rice.
Even if everyone in this family ate from their own pockets, they still couldn't finish a hundred thousand catties of food in a year!
Those who were "worrying" about Secretary Chen's family before now have faces that look like color palettes. It's so interesting.
Especially Xia Hongmei and Chen Dacui, the regret and envy in their eyes were completely uncontrollable.
Watching this excitement, I became a joke myself.
"Secretary Chen is so lucky! In the blink of an eye, he has become a ten thousand yuan household in our village." Obviously, there are more than just a few people who are jealous.
Secretary Chen's wife quickly held the money tightly and said, "In the beginning, we asked you to work with me, but you didn't want to. When we paid for the shed, you complained. It's too late for you to feel jealous now."
When it took a month to build a shed to cultivate Matsutake mushrooms, some people heard that they had to pay for it themselves and were unwilling to do so. Only Secretary Chen insisted on supporting Qiao Zhixia despite the pressure.
So Qiao Zhixia naturally left the opportunity to make a lot of money to Secretary Chen as a reward.
