Chen Xiaobao's father is Chen Jianshe, an honest farmer. During the busy farming season, he stays at home to farm, and when the farming season is not busy, he works in the brick factory in the town.
Make money by moving bricks and doing hard labor.
He is just an honest country guy.
"When your father was loading the truck, the pile of bricks collapsed and he was trapped underneath and died!" Liu Sanjie wiped away her tears and told Chen Xiaobao everything.
Originally, this was just an accident and there was nothing to complain about. However, the brick factory owner Liu Jinshan not only refused to pay a penny, but also refused to pay for the funeral expenses, saying that Chen Jianshe was not a worker in their brick factory at all.
Chen Jianshe did not sign a contract with the brick factory, and it was useless for Liu Sanjie to go to the town to sue.
Liu Jinshan was rich and powerful, a bully in the town. All the people he associated with were directors and bureau chiefs. Liu Sanjie was just a peasant woman, so there was no way she could win a lawsuit against him.
These days, if you have no money and no power, your life is worthless.
"Liu Jinshan!" Chen Xiaobao clenched his fists tightly, with a flash of anger in his eyes, "Mom, don't worry, I will make Liu Jinshan pay back the money he owes!"
"Xiaobao, forget it. At least you're okay. Liu Jinshan is the big boss of the town, we can't afford to offend him!" Liu Sanjie shook her head and advised. She would be thankful that Chen Xiaobao was not stupid anymore, so she wouldn't ask for anything else.
"Mom, I'll go to the town to sell these tomatoes first and raise money to return to Chen Dewang. We'll talk about other things later!" Chen Xiaobao didn't say much. He rode the family's tricycle, carrying a large basket of tomatoes, and headed for the town.
Taoyuan Village is under the jurisdiction of Qingshan Town, which is more than ten miles away from Taoyuan Village. Usually, villagers go to the town on motorcycles, electric vehicles, or farm vehicles, but Chen Xiaobao's family is very poor and has nothing.
You can only go to town by tricycle.
However, now that Chen Xiaobao has inherited the legacy and has mastered the Hundred Ghosts and Gods Technique, he does not feel tired after walking more than ten miles of mountain road.
Qingshan Town is much more lively than Taoyuan Village. There is also a street where all kinds of things are sold. Chen Xiaobao parked his tricycle outside a roadside fruit shop and squatted on the side of the road waiting for business.
“No business!”
Chen Xiaobao waited for a while, but no one even asked the price. The tomatoes ripened by Shennong's ghost really looked good. Each one was big and round, and bright red like a ripe Fuji apple.
But in Qingshan Town, every household that grows crops has tomatoes, and people passing by are too lazy to even look at Chen Xiaobao.
“Crack!”
Chen Xiaobao subconsciously picked up a tomato and took a bite. His eyes suddenly lit up and he could feel the fragrance lingering on his lips and teeth. The tomato was sweet and delicious, and the taste was different from ordinary fruits. It tasted great.
The tomatoes ripened by Shennong's ghost not only look good, but also taste amazing. The taste alone is far better than any tomatoes Chen Xiaobao has ever eaten before.
This kind of tomato gave Chen Xiaobao a taste of his childhood. No, it was not just the taste of his childhood, but it was even more delicious than the tomatoes he remembered from his childhood.
It would be a shame to sell such good tomatoes as vegetables. Chen Xiaobao turned his eyes to the fruit shop behind him and came up with an idea.
"Excuse me, is anyone here? Do you accept fruit?"
Chen Xiaobao walked into the fruit shop carrying a basket, looked around, and didn't see anyone. This fruit shop was quite high-end and even had durian.
However, the owner of this fruit shop is not so clear-headed as to sell durian in a rural town.
"Are you selling fruit? Tomatoes?" A pleasant voice sounded from behind the counter, and then a beautiful girl sitting in a wheelchair came out, turning the wheelchair by herself.
This girl looks to be in her early twenties. She is very beautiful, with glowing white skin, a very delicate face, a beautiful face, and a very good figure. She is definitely a goddess-level beauty.
It’s a pity that he has a problem with his legs and looks like a lame man.
"Yes, it's tomatoes!" Chen Xiaobao secretly said what a pity, nodded and said.
"Tomatoes are not considered fruits, and I don't harvest vegetables here!" An Xiaoyu shook his head and said.
The young man in front of her was tall and handsome, but unfortunately he was not very smart and actually wanted to sell tomatoes to her as fruits.
"Generally speaking, tomatoes are not considered fruits, but my tomatoes are different. If you don't believe me, try it!" Chen Xiaobao said, picking up a tomato and handing it to the girl.
An Xiaoyu quickly dodged to the back. As a grown-up girl, she wouldn't eat other people's food casually. What if the tomato was spiked with something else?
However, this tomato has such a rich fruity aroma. An Xiaoyu swallowed his saliva quietly and felt like eating it.
"I won't eat it. My mother said that we can't eat strangers' things!" An Xiaoyu said quickly.
"It's okay, this tomato is very clean, look!" Chen Xiaobao took a big bite of the tomato and handed the rest to An Xiaoyu. Once the tomato was bitten open, the fruity flavor became more intense.
An Xiaoyu felt like she was drooling.
"Um, can you give me another one?" An Xiaoyu hesitated and asked cautiously.
"Oh, sure, try it!"
Chen Xiaobao took another tomato and handed it to An Xiaoyu. This time, An Xiaoyu did not hesitate and took a light bite. Suddenly, a sweet and rich fruity aroma bloomed in her taste buds.
An Xiaoyu's eyes suddenly lit up. This tomato is so delicious, better than those fruits.
She had never eaten such delicious tomatoes in her life.
"Oh my God, these tomatoes are so delicious!" An Xiaoyu couldn't help but exclaimed.
Chen Xiaobao smiled slightly and said, "I like the way you look like you have never seen the world."
"Beauty, will you harvest these tomatoes?" Chen Xiaobao asked.
"Take it, take it, just name a price!" An Xiaoyu bought it without any hesitation. Such delicious tomatoes could be bought back for personal consumption or for her sister to eat. They did not have to be sold in the fruit store.
Anyway, she opened a fruit shop just to kill time.
"How about ten yuan per pound... no, how about ten yuan per piece?" Chen Xiaobao asked tentatively.
This thing is really delicious, but he has no idea what price it can be sold for.
If it were sold in the city, with a label saying it was imported, green and pollution-free, there would be no problem selling it for dozens of dollars per pound. However, Qingshan Town is not a city after all.
"Okay, ten yuan each, then count how many tomatoes there are!" An Xiaoyu agreed readily. In this fruit shop, she would throw away any stale durian, so a tomato costing ten or eight yuan was nothing.
"There are thirty-six tomatoes in total, you give me three hundred and sixty!" Chen Xiaobao counted them and sighed secretly, thinking that he had met a rich woman today, and she didn't bargain at all.
People are really different. Some are born in Rome, while others are born as cattle and horses.
"I'll give you four hundred. No need to change. Next time you have such high-quality tomatoes, you can send them directly to me!" An Xiaoyu took out four big red plates from the drawer and stuffed them into Chen Xiaobao's hands.
"Thank you, boss!" Chen Xiaobao looked at the four hundred yuan in his hand and thought that he could improve Liu Sanjie's food, but there was still a long way to go before paying off the debt.
"By the way, beautiful lady, your leg is not born lame, right? How about I take a look at it for you? If I can cure it, how about you give me some money?"
