Chapter 263 Why did we go back again?
“I didn’t say I wasn’t willing; I am willing.”
How could he not be happy? This was a political achievement delivered right to his doorstep!
He had a vague idea before the new year, but his knowledge was limited and he couldn't support such a big idea. Now that someone is helping him, it would be foolish for him not to be happy!
Why did he become the village party secretary? Besides inheriting his grandfather's mantle, he wanted to climb the social ladder and find another way out for himself, who came from a farming family.
"You're really willing?"
Su Laosan scratched his head. "Then we need to find some time to think about which way to go."
Brother Fang nodded.
He said, "I'll go deal with the villagers' homestead disputes first. You go home and wait for me. We'll talk in detail when I get back."
"Huh? Oh."
Watching Brother Fang leave in such a hurry, Su Laosan frowned and clicked his tongue, "Tell me the details? I... I'm just a messenger, what am I supposed to tell you?"
He looked around and then went to the village store to call his mother.
Li Banxia said she would arrange a time for her and Yao Dasao to meet up, as some things are easier to understand when said face to face.
Su Laosan turned and relayed the message to Brother Fang.
Brother Fang said he was available anytime, depending on Sister-in-law Yao and Li Banxia's schedules, and he would fully cooperate.
Li Banxia and Sister-in-law Yao explained their plans to Brother Fang in a simple way. Brother Fang understood immediately and said that he would handle persuading the villagers, but he was afraid that the investment in fish and shrimp fry would be difficult.
Sister-in-law Yao said, "As long as you can win over the villagers, I will help you find merchants to negotiate. You can pay half the deposit first, and after the harvest, after deducting the investment, you can give them 20% of your profits. We should be able to reach an agreement."
“I will invest the other half, and I also want 20% of the profits. To show my sincerity, I can invest for three consecutive years,” Li Banxia said decisively.
Brother Fang's eyes widened suddenly, and his breathing quickened for a few seconds. When he calmed down, he confidently assured her, "With Auntie and Sister-in-law's words, I will definitely be able to get this done!"
This may seem difficult, but it's actually quite complicated to do.
The villagers are uneducated, and many of them rely on ancestral experience to grow crops. They have never heard of this method of raising fish and shrimp in rice and dare not try it.
Brother Fang talked until his lips were almost worn out, and Grandpa Fang also walked around the village with his cane.
On the other hand, Su Laosan was responsible for finding a storefront, writing down all the farm crops needed for the shop, and handing them over to Brother Fang to talk to the villagers in the village as a bargaining chip for including fish and shrimp in rice cultivation.
Brother Fang was responsible for organizing meetings of village officials, engaging with leading villagers, educating them, and putting these things into action.
Su Laosan had helped the villagers sell chickens, ducks, geese, eggs, wild mushrooms, and rabbits. They had truly tasted the benefits and felt that if Su Laosan's shop could be opened, they could indeed have some extra money. Gradually, the tide began to turn in Fang Dage's favor.
However, many villagers are worried about releasing fish and shrimp fry into the rice paddies, as fish and shrimp fry are not easy to find.
When he heard the villagers starting to complain about this, Brother Fang felt that the matter was already more than half resolved.
He immediately convened a village meeting and, speaking into the loudspeaker, announced that fish and shrimp fry had already been supplied to the villagers free of charge, adding that while they were hard to find, Sister-in-law Yao was easy to find.
Her job was to attract investment, and there happened to be a company that specialized in this.
Brother Fang was afraid that explaining it in a complicated way would be difficult for the villagers to understand, so he simply simplified it: "...Others provide fish and shrimp fry and use our land to feed them. Not only can we increase our rice production, but we can also earn an extra 60% from fish and shrimp. What do you all think? Is this a viable business?"
"able!"
Su Laosan took the lead, clenching his fist, raising his hand, and shouting.
The villagers were immediately swayed. They figured they were guaranteed to make a profit, or even be rolling in money, so there was no reason for them to disagree. Immediately, someone raised their hand and said they would do it.
As soon as Brother Fang's deal was settled, Sister Yao immediately took action, contacting fish and shrimp fry suppliers to further discuss cooperation.
Su Laosan and Fang Erniu had also found a storefront. The front had three large storefronts, and passing through it, there was a square courtyard with several side rooms that could be used as a warehouse.
He also prepared a small room so that he would have nowhere to stay when it got too late to organize the goods.
Li Banxia also found a storefront not far from his chosen location, with a similar layout, and planned to open a medicinal cuisine restaurant in a while.
The eldest couple works during the day and studies after get off work, while Arno and Li Banxia each take care of one child.
Everyone's life is moving forward in an orderly manner.
Before she knew it, it was time for Su Hongying to finish her postpartum confinement.
More than a month has passed, and Zhang Haijun still hasn't found a suitable place to stay.
When Su Hongying was discharged from the hospital, her mother looked concerned and said, "I'm doing this for your own good. I'm always worried about you living alone with the child. Why don't you stay at home for now? Mom can help take care of the child."
Su Hongying's eyes were filled with coldness.
But he smiled and said, "I'll listen to Navy Brother."
Although she tried to sow discord, Zhang Haijun and Zheng Xiulan were, after all, mother and son. She didn't know what methods Zheng Xiulan used to make Zhang Haijun, who had vowed to separate from the family and move out, ultimately choose to stay at home instead of renting a place.
But it doesn't matter or matter.
Where she is won't affect her future plans; at home...
Su Hongying clenched her fist, still feeling lingering fear after being pushed to the ground by Zheng Xiulan.
But undeniably, living at the Zhang family's house was more conducive to her plans.
The next day, before Zhang Haijun came to pick her up to go back to the Zhang family home, she made a phone call to Fan Liangyu's workplace.
Fan Liangyu spent over a month looking for a place to live, and every few days she had to face Zhang Lao Er's masked face, which made her feel so uncomfortable that she almost couldn't take it anymore.
As soon as I received Su Hongying's call, I exclaimed, "Thank you so much! You're finally discharged from the hospital!"
Su Hongying smiled and said, "There are still two scenes left. Keep it up, Ms. Fan."
"Let's cheer each other on," Fan Liangyu said with a smile.
When Fan Liangyu saw Zhang Lao Er again after get off work, she walked over in her small heels and complained, "Didn't they say they moved out? Why are they moving back in?"
"What?" Old Zhang was completely baffled.
Fan Liangyu glared at him. "You still want to hide it from me? I know everything. Your good brother took five thousand yuan from home and said he was moving out, but then he took his wife and kids back to live there!"
Zhang Lao Er, "..."
"Let them go back then, we're not going to live with them anyway..."
"Why should we pay to rent a place and then give them our own house to raise their children? Why should we suffer this loss? I won't do it!" Fan Liangyu said angrily.
Seeing that she was angry, Zhang Lao Er smacked his lips, feeling that his elder brother's actions were not fair.
They agreed to move out, so why did they go back?
He had been looking for a house for a month or so, and he was about to find one that Fan Liangyu was satisfied with. Isn't it just asking for trouble for nothing that his older brother is causing this now?
No, he stopped looking for someone and started going home to live every day.
"...It doesn't make sense for us to spend money to vacate their houses, does it?"
