Chapter 300: Be on Guard
The truck just now was only one-third full.
This is more than two thousand kilograms?
Just now they said it was 3.5 yuan per pound. If they took all of it away...
Wei Zhenghao counted with his fingers, and when he figured it out, he almost choked to death on his saliva.
"Cough... cough... cough..." Wei Zhenghao slapped his chest hard.
Finally calming down, Wei Zhenghao looked at Zhang Yao in disbelief.
There were two mu of land in total, which Zhang Yao divided into two types: one mu planted cucumbers and the other planted eggplants.
Eggplants mature in more than two months and can be planted several times a year.
Two months, based on this calculation, the net profit of one acre of land can reach 10,000 yuan per year!
Ten thousand yuan! What kind of concept is this?
How many people in their village have earned over 10,000 yuan each?
If their family also becomes a millionaire, won't he be able to walk around the village with impunity in the future?
He originally thought that Zhang Yao was just doing a small business and might not even be able to earn back the cost of the greenhouse at the end of the year.
Only now did I realize that Zhang Yao had accidentally created a profitable business.
Thinking of this, Wei Zhenghao saw Zhang Yao and Zhang Jun moving a basket of eggplants.
He quickly put down his hoe and stepped forward, "Zhang Yao, I'll do it!"
He stretched out his hand, ready to take Zhang Yao's place.
But Zhang Yao reached out and pushed him away: "Go away!"
The last basket of eggplants was piled at the edge of the field, and Zhang Yao raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his face.
Wenwen came forward holding a teacup, "Mom, drink some water!"
Zhang Yao took it with a smile, tilted her head back and drank all the water in the cup.
Wei Zhenghao didn't give up and moved closer: "Take a break. When my sister-in-law comes, I'll help her put it on!"
Zhang Yao thought about how Wei Zhenghao had ignored her for the past two months, and she became furious.
"Wei Zhenghao, you don't have to meddle in my business. You can't even think of getting a penny of the money I earn." Zhang Yao directly punctured Wei Zhenghao's fantasy.
In front of so many people, Wei Zhenghao's little thoughts were exposed and he looked a little embarrassed.
He looked at Zhang Jun and the others, but saw that they were all talking to themselves, as if they didn't hear anything happening here.
Wei Zhenghao frowned and wanted to get angry, but then he remembered something and forced himself to hold it back.
Li Xu ran several times before he finally harvested all the eggplants from both families.
After the final calculation, Zhang Jun's family had a total of more than 8,000 kilograms, and Zhang Yao's family had a little more, more than 6 kilograms.
One is over 3,000 yuan, and the other is over 2,000 yuan.
"I don't have that much cash at home. I'll go to the bank to withdraw it tomorrow and send it to you!" Li Xu said.
Wei Zhenghao was listening nearby and his eyes lit up.
Zhang Jun and Hao Meiting whispered to each other, as if they were discussing something.
After a moment, Zhang Jun said, "Sister-in-law, I won't bother you to make this trip. I'll go there tomorrow. I'll take the money and pay off the loan. I don't feel comfortable owing the bank money all the time."
The smile on Hao Meiting's face never stopped: "Yes, when I took out the loan, I thought it would take one or two years to pay it back, but who knew it would be so fast. Paying it back early can save some interest."
Li Xu nodded and looked at Zhang Yao again: "What about you?"
Zhang Yao hesitated for a moment, and Wei Zhenghao said directly: "We don't have enough to pay back, so I'd better trouble my sister-in-law to come..."
"Let me go with Xiaojun!" Zhang Yao interrupted Wei Zhenghao and said loudly.
Wei Zhenghao frowned: "Didn't you borrow 3,000 yuan? What can you do with these 2,000 yuan?"
Zhang Yao said: "Pay back part of it first, the more interest you can save, the better."
Li Xu said: "Okay, you two come to the store to find me tomorrow!"
After saying hello to Wang Yueju and Zhang Dali, he left with the last cart of eggplants.
After packing up, Zhang Jun and his family returned home. Zhang Yao also held Wenwen's hand and walked slowly towards home.
On the way back, Wei Zhenghao always walked behind Zhang Yao.
Seeing Zhang Yao's gloomy face, Wei Zhenghao couldn't help but mutter, "Hasn't this money been borrowed for a year? Why are you in such a hurry to pay it back? What's the point of saving a few interest payments?"
Zhang Yao curled her lips and said, "There is no place to use the money at home. What else can I do if I don't pay back the loan?"
Zhang Yao's voice was gentler than before. Wei Zhenghao thought she was no longer angry, so he stepped forward and said, "Why is there no place to spend money at home? There are so many places to spend money at home. Look, other people's families have bought TVs. We can't afford a color TV, so can we buy a black and white one?
And our mother, I haven't given her money for a long time. Give me fifty tomorrow and I'll give fifty to my mother first. I'll go buy some ribs and stew them for dinner. I've paid Wenwen's tuition and she hasn't had any meat for more than a month..."
Wei Zhenghao kept talking, and Zhang Yao couldn't help laughing as she listened.
"What does this money have to do with you? This land belongs to my mother and me. I took out a loan to build this greenhouse. I also grew these eggplants bit by bit. Just tell me, how much of this two thousand yuan belongs to you?"
Zhang Yao’s words completely stunned Wei Zhenghao.
"We are a couple, why should we divide what's yours and what's mine?"
"You also know that we are a couple? Why haven't I seen you help me water the plants or apply fertilizers once in the past two months? You want money? No way!" Zhang Yao made money and spoke more confidently.
She held Wenwen in her arms and quickened her pace.
Wei Zhenghao stood behind her, looking at her back, and was lost in thought for a moment.
The next day was Monday, and Zhang Jun and Zhang Yao arrived at ten o'clock in the morning.
Also coming with them was Wang Yueju.
Li Xu accompanied them to the bank and withdrew money for them.
Zhang Jun and Zhang Yao immediately used the money to repay the loan they owed to the bank.
Zhang Jun paid back all the money, but Zhang Yao only paid back half, leaving more than 500 yuan in his hand.
After completing the loan process, Zhang Yao took Wang Yueju to apply for a passbook.
Li Xu was curious and asked Zhang Jun, "What does it mean that your sister opened a savings account for our mother?"
Zhang Jun whispered, "My sister wants to deposit all the money in our mother's name. Don't tell anyone else about this."
If his brother-in-law knew about this, there would be a huge uproar.
Although Li Xu was a little surprised, she still assured him, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
I didn't expect that Zhang Yao, who looked so fragile, would have such a mind.
She opened this passbook with the intention of guarding against Wei Zhenghao.
Li Xu couldn't say whether Zhang Yao's approach was right or wrong, after all, everyone's situation was different.
If this happened in their family, it would definitely be wrong for her to be so wary of Zhang Kun.
But if it was placed in Zhang Yao's house...
The passbook was completed quickly. Zhang Yao only kept one hundred yuan and deposited the rest into the passbook.
After coming out of the bank, Zhang Yao handed the passbook to Wang Yueju: "Mom, please keep it for me!"
If I put it at home and Wei Zhenghao saw it, it would be a disaster.
She always has to think about herself and Wenwen. In Wei Zhenghao's heart, there is no such family as theirs.
He always felt that it was not easy for his mother to raise them alone, and his mind was full of thoughts about honoring his mother.
