Chapter 86 Can't Find Out
Huo Beixi took the money and glanced at it casually without counting it. Instead, he said, "That man raised the price of pearls to 40 yuan a piece. What do you think?"
Hua Xiali pursed her lips and shook her head. "It's useless for me to have an idea. Not every freshwater clam has pearls. But if I find pearls in the future, I can make jewelry for everyone in my family. I can sell the rest to the person you mentioned. By the way, when will my jewelry be finished?"
Jewelry made from this kind of natural pearls is quite rare. As for whether it is valuable or whether it can appreciate in value, you can find out by taking it to a jewelry store for appraisal.
However, she did not plan to sell the pearl jewelry. She only wanted to make a set of jewelry for her mother and her three sisters, and keep them for herself. When she really grew pearls in the future, she would naturally sell the pearls. Otherwise, how would she make money and how would she pay her employees?
"I will be notified when it's done, don't worry." Huo Beixi said.
"Have I completed all the formalities?" Hua Xiali asked, thinking of her house and land. She knew Huo Beixi would not cheat her, but she would not feel at ease until all the formalities were completed.
Once the house completely belongs to her, she can start cleaning it up and make it the way she likes.
"I'll go check again in two days. The keys have already been handed over to you. What else is there to worry about? Even if the procedures haven't been completed, the house belongs to you!" Huo Beixi curled the corners of his lips.
"I believe in you, and you won't go back on your word. But I don't know the people in that village. Without the procedures and documents, what should we do if they don't recognize our transaction?" Hua Xiali shrugged and said, "Hurry up and eat!"
Two days later, Huo Beixi handed over all the certificates with stamps from various departments to Hua Xiali, including house certificates, homestead certificates, and land certificates. All the certificates were ready, and Hua Xiali was completely relieved.
Hua Xiali put today's documents together with the documents he had previously obtained for applying for and purchasing homestead land, and stored them in a space so that they can be preserved for many years.
The next step is to wait for Hua's parents' house to be completed, and then continue to build her own house. She should be able to move in before winter comes, because Hua's parents' house has been completed, and they will be able to move on to her house soon.
Although she has a room in Hua's parents' house, she still decides to move out because she has a secret that she doesn't want them to find out.
And she is not their favorite child in their hearts. Maybe no matter how much she does, they will still feel that she is not as good as their favorite child. A casual word of concern means that she does not want to work hard, but in their hearts, she is not as good as their favorite child.
Since no one favors her, she favors herself, puts herself first, and lives a happy life.
Each of the five fingers has its own length. She can understand that parents favor one child over another, but she cannot accept that parents let other children bear all the burdens because they feel sorry for their favorite child and are reluctant to let that child suffer.
Everyone has the same responsibilities and obligations, and all the burdens should not be placed on one child just because of parental preference.
This will only crush the child.
Hua Xiali didn't know how her parents would treat her, she couldn't guess. She only knew that if something good happened, she would definitely not be the first child her parents thought of. This was the sadness of being in the middle, but she didn't care now. After all, she was no longer at the age where she needed her parents' love and affection.
The wasteland behind the school has been measured and more than 40,000 yuan has been spent. This piece of wasteland finally belongs to Hua Xiali.
When the villagers learned that Hua Xiali had spent so much money to buy this barren land where nothing could be grown, they were all shocked. They were even ready to see Hua Xiali make a fool of herself and lose more money.
More than 40,000 yuan is indeed a lot of money, but there are still 20 years in the future. Even if I just grow vegetables, I should have made my money back in 20 years!
Moreover, she originally planned to cultivate pearl oysters. One pearl can be sold for forty yuan. A large freshwater clam contains at least six or seven pearls, and some contain even more. Therefore, by cultivating pearls, she estimated that she could make back her investment in a few years, so she was not worried about losing money at all.
What's more, this is not the only way for her to make money. She can make tens of thousands of dollars every time she purchases goods and resell them. She can make hundreds of thousands in a month. Why should she be afraid of losing money?
Hua Xiali turned a deaf ear to the villagers' discussions and her parents' misunderstanding. She didn't want to waste time, so she found twenty people in the village to clean up the land.
The salary was the same as that of a laborer, three yuan a day. Naturally, no one would miss such a good opportunity to make money, so they signed up here one after another to work for Hua Xiali.
But Hua Xiali only picked out twenty who looked strong and healthy, and let the rest go home. When there are other opportunities to make money in the future, he will definitely leave them to the villagers.
Hua Xiali also has strict requirements for these twenty people. Don't blame her for replacing those who are sneaky and inefficient. After all, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and after the Mid-Autumn Festival, many things cannot be planted.
After that, everyone started working enthusiastically, while Hua Xiali went to the seed shop in town to buy seeds, as there were not many vegetables that could be planted in the second half of the year.
There were only yellow heart cabbage, radish, Chinese cabbage, dwarf green cabbage, coriander, spinach, chrysanthemum, leek, and bittercress. Many delicious vegetable varieties had not been developed at that time, so there were not as many vegetable varieties as in the past life, so Hua Xiali bought these.
There is another vegetable that is particularly delicious, and that is shepherd's purse, but it is a wild vegetable, and now no one is specifically growing this wild vegetable, so you can't buy seeds. You can only wait until April or May next year and collect some seeds from the ridges of the fields.
There is strength in numbers, and we cleaned up the wasteland in just five days.
It's just that because it hasn't rained, the soil is too dry. Even if we break it all up, we can't plant anything, so we can only fetch water from the well to irrigate the soil.
The public well between Hua Xiali's and Huo Beixi's homes is now only used by these two families, so Hua Xiali quietly added a little spiritual spring water into it. It was just a little bit, and no one could feel it, but it could promote seed germination and make vegetables grow better.
Even if others found out that her vegetables grew better than those of humans, it didn't matter. She could just say that she used well water to irrigate them. It was just a little bit of spiritual spring water and no one would be able to tell the difference.
