Chapter 649 Helping the Village Get Rich
Before Jiang Yu and his brother left, Aunt Du came over with Wang Pandi.
Looking closely, Lai Zhijie was there too.
Jiang Yu listened quietly and realized that Wang Pandi had remarried Lai Zhijie.
She was willing to be the scapegoat, and there was no need for others to persuade her.
"Captain, my son-in-law is from the city, but he is a high school student, you know that?"
He Youfu was impatient to pay attention to her and said straight to the point: "Just say it if you have something to say."
Liu Junmei looked suspicious, "But how do I remember that Pandi was divorced?"
Wang Pandi was divorced and returned to Nanhe Village with a large sum of compensation. This is not a secret.
Aunt Du covered her mouth and was overjoyed.
"Pandi and Zhijie were hot-tempered young people who wanted a divorce on impulse. Now they have come to their senses and are remarrying!"
Jiang Yu held her chin and raised her eyebrows without comment.
She was just curious: "You are remarrying, what about Mao Huihui and her child?"
Liu Junmei immediately asked: "Who is Mao Huihui? What is the relationship between her child and Pandi?"
Jiang Yu: "..."
It turns out that the village doesn't know about this yet.
Aunt Du glared at her fiercely and said angrily, "It's none of your business, shut up!"
Wang Pandi gritted her teeth and forced a smile, saying, "The child is Zhijie's biological child. Even if it's a daughter, it's still the Lai family's child. I will naturally take her to my side to raise her."
But Lai Zhijie said that he had already done it with Mao Huihui.
He Youfu and Liu Junmei looked at each other and exchanged glances.
It turned out that there was still this, what a big melon!
Out of kindness, Liu Junmei said to Wang Pandi: "Pandi, logically speaking, you have decided to remarry, and I shouldn't say anything. But you have to think clearly, a man cheating outside is like a dog that can't change its eating habits, there are only zero times and countless times. If he can get the child out today, he can kick you out and marry someone else in the future."
This incident is enough to see Lai Zhijie's character.
The Lai family is a pit of fire, and Aunt Du was willing to let Wang Pandi jump in.
Wang Pandi forced a smile, "Auntie, Zhijie is very good to me. He even wrote me a letter of guarantee that he will not do it again. I believe him."
Jiang Yu said coldly, "What about a letter of guarantee? Can you read? He will just write a few words to fool you, and you won't be able to tell whether he is good or bad."
Wang Pandi's eyes widened and she glared at her fiercely.
"What happens to me is none of your business!"
He Youfu was not interested in Wang Pandi's marriage. They were all adults and had to be responsible for their own choices.
"Since you have confirmed, we are not annoying. What do you want to talk to me about?"
Aunt Du said hurriedly, "Yes, my son-in-law has a way to make money and wants to help our village get rich!"
He Youfu: "...What way to make money?"
Lai Zhijie said confidently: "Grow cotton!"
Jiang Yu asked, "Do you mean, grow cotton like Yunjiao Village?"
"Yes! Pan Di's sister married to Yunjiao Village, and they made a lot of money selling cotton last year!"
He also learned by chance that the market had a large amount of cotton this year, which slightly filled the gap in cotton.
Later, he found out that the cotton was actually produced by Yunjiao Village!
He then set his sights on Wang Yunshan, and wanted to get in touch with Yunjiao Village through her and get a share of the pie.
Otherwise, he would not have remarried Wang Pan Di.
He Youfu shook his head, "Our situation is different from that of Yunjiao Village. Although we are close, the topography is very different. They are suitable for farming, but our village is not."
He felt strange. What's wrong with raising chickens and ducks? Why do these people have so many ideas?
Lai Zhijie looked at him disapprovingly, "Captain, we haven't started yet, how do you know it won't work?"
He Youfu waved his hands, "Anyway, it won't work, don't even think about it."
It's just a small village, and they want to do everything. It's just a dream.
Aunt Du yelled unconvincedly, "Why not? Zhijie said that Yunjiao Village has made a lot of money by growing cotton! You said you wanted to raise chickens, so you raised chickens. No matter how people objected, it was useless. Now you say you want to grow cotton, and you don't agree. How can you do things for the villagers? You are obviously abusing your power for personal gain."
He Youfu slammed the table heavily, his anger seemed to solidify into substance, burning his veins.
"I have been in this position for a long time. If you are not satisfied, you have the guts to ask everyone to elect you as the captain! If you don't have that ability, just shut up!"
Jiang Yu hurriedly comforted him, "Uncle Youfu, don't be angry. It's not impossible to grow cotton. Growing grain is one thing, and growing cotton is also one thing."
Aunt Du's face lit up, "Look, Jiang Yu said so, which shows that Zhijie is right!"
Jiang Yu asked again, "Since you encourage everyone to grow cotton, where to plant it and how to plant it, I think you should have a plan. Then write a plan and hand it to Uncle Youfu and let him evaluate the feasibility."
Lai Zhijie was stunned and speechless. How could he write a plan?
Aunt Du exclaimed, "Why is it so troublesome!"
Jiang Yu patted the notebook in He Youfu's hand, "Do you know what this is?"
Aunt Du muttered, "It's just a notebook, what else can it be?"
Jiang Yu opened the notebook and threw it to the ground, "You can't read, then I tell you, this is the homework that Uncle Youfu has done since Nanhe Village started a collective sideline business! How to raise chickens and ducks, choose the enclosure according to their habits, mix feed, do a good job of preventing diseases, how many months of raising can they be released, and where to sell them. All aspects are issues that need to be considered."
"Do you think it's that easy to make money? Just shout slogans and cotton will grow in the field? You don't have to do anything and cotton can be sold and money will come into your pocket?"
Jiang Yu knocked on the table and Lai Zhijie came back to his senses.
She looked at him with clear eyes, "Your mother-in-law praised you to the sky, saying that you are smart and thought of this way to make money. I think you have considered all these issues. Then let me ask you, where do you plan to grow cotton?"
Lai Zhijie stammered, "There are so many places in the village...why not just clear a piece of land to grow cotton?"
Jiang Yu sneered, "The land in the village is used to grow food. You said to clear a piece of land, which piece of land? How many acres? How much cotton do you plan to plant? How much is the budget to invest? How much can you earn after the return on investment?"
Lai Zhijie was confused by the continuous questions.
He only knew that Yunjiao Village made money, but he didn't know that Yunjiao Village actually started to grow cotton many years ago.
They have been groping all the way, and they have enough experience and sales channels.
Others only see their success, but they don't think carefully about the fact that the road they are taking is not easy.
"When will you think through all these issues before you talk about planting cotton?" He Youfu scolded.
Lai Zhijie looked unhappy, "Captain, aren't you deliberately making things difficult for me? If we really want to plant cotton, it's not just my job. Shouldn't we all work together?"
