His thoughts flew back to his previous life.
What does it matter if Meng Taohua drives a small jeep? Back then, Tian Zhigao was young and strong, already in a high position, with power and wealth. Wherever he went, he was followed by a large group of assistants, bodyguards and drivers. He drove a luxury Mercedes-Benz when he went out. In his garage, there were dozens of world-class luxury cars. He could drive a different car every day in a month.
Although he has a successful career and has many social engagements, it does not prevent him from traveling and enjoying life. In his spare time, he drives his beloved car and travels with a few friends. He likes to go racing, and the feeling of flying in the clouds is so comfortable!
Tian Zhigao woke up from his recollection, and his confidence increased greatly: the current Meng Taohua is a soul that traveled through time from the future, and he was reborn. God gave him the opportunity to be reborn, and he must also bestow luck and blessings. Whatever Meng Taohua has, he will also have.
Within three years, no, two years, he will own his first car!
Tian Zhigao set a goal for himself. When Wang Shuifeng came back from washing the dishes, he said to her, "Mom, help me with something tomorrow."
Wang Shuifeng: "What's the matter?"
"Go around the neighborhood and ask who wants to buy a yard. We want to sell this one. We bought it for 150 yuan. Now anyone who offers 130 yuan can sell it."
Wang Shuifeng was surprised: "Why sell the yard? Where will our family live then?"
"Mom, you are black and illegal in the city, and you don't have any income. I can't feed the whole family with just one ration. Food on the black market is too expensive... Wait until the sixth and seventh brothers recover from their injuries, and you should take them back to Linshui Village."
Wang Shuifeng's face turned pale, tears fell, and she choked up and said, "San'er, a person lives on his face. That damn witch Meng Taohua has done great harm to our family. Our whole family has a bad reputation. How can we survive in the village? The spit is enough to drown people! Mom is old and will die, but your brother and sister are still young. How can you bear to ruin their lives? Your father is gone, and you, as the older brother, have to take care of them!"
Wang Shuifeng cried louder and louder, it was so miserable.
Tian Zhigao could only sigh: "Don't cry so late at night, it will annoy the neighbors. I'm just saying, if you don't want to go back, then don't go back, but the yard must be sold, the sooner the better."
“Why do you have to sell the yard?”
"Mom, you saw it. Zhiyuan went to Guangzhou to buy goods and sold them out in less than ten days. This business will become more and more prosperous. We can make a lot of money if we continue. But we are out of stock now. Unfortunately, our family needs money everywhere recently. My sister-in-law gave birth, and my sixth and seventh children were seriously injured and hospitalized... We don't have the money to buy goods."
"You want to sell the yard to raise capital? But doesn't the fourth brother have money?"
"It's not easy to go to Guangzhou. It's a long way. You have to collect 500 yuan at least, right?"
Tian Zhigao smiled bitterly in his heart, he knew that 500 yuan to Guangzhou was like a drop of rain in the sea, nothing at all, it was a very small business, but he really had no other choice now, he could only be patient and start from a small scale, gathering capital bit by bit.
Wang Shuifeng certainly hopes that her son's business will flourish so that they can live a good life in the future, but she is a mother and is more concerned about the medical expenses of her three children in the hospital and the empty rice jar. What will she cook tomorrow? With her half-life experience, she deeply understands the importance of housing, especially in the county town. Without a home, it is like a tree without roots, just like a homeless person. He will be regarded as a blind drifter and can only roll back to the countryside in disgrace.
How can they be the same? What is a business opportunity? If you miss an opportunity, you will lose a lot. Time is money! "Mom, you won't understand even if I tell you. This yard must be sold."
"I don't agree!" Wang Shuifeng glared at her third son.
Tian Zhigao had to find another excuse and patiently persuaded them: "The feng shui of this yard is not good. Look, we have only lived here for a short time, and the sixth and seventh sons have already had accidents. Also, Yalan and the fourth son's wife quarrel every day, Sister Xianglan is crazy, and the second brother, his wife and the two nieces are often sick in the village..."
"It's not Feng Shui, it's that damn Meng Taohua, a dead ghost and evildoer - wait for me to invite a great immortal to come and use a magic to have her struck to death by lightning!"
Tian Zhigao was startled by his mother's sudden shrill voice and quickly stopped her: "Keep your voice down! Walls have ears. Others think this is feudal superstition. Do you want to be paraded through the streets with a sign?"
Wang Shuifeng paused for a second, lowered her voice, and continued to curse with hatred and a ferocious look on her face.
Tian Zhigao said: "It's useless for you to do this. It's a waste of energy. Although Meng Taohua is cunning and hateful, she does have something worth learning. First of all, when she was suppressed by you, she was very calm and pretended to be honest, and then secretly found the right opportunity and hit you with one strike... In short, hatred alone is not enough for us, we must remain calm and have the determination to burn our boats.
We have to sell this yard to raise capital. We can rent a place to live. We can afford the rent of three or two yuan a month. Meng Taohua is a shallow woman. How can she make a living in this era? My brain is a thousand times better than hers. When the time comes, I will be able to be very successful. Meng Taohua? She is not qualified to be my opponent! "
Tian Zhigao looked proud and confident: He is the chosen one, and it would be unacceptable for him not to succeed.
God will give great responsibilities to people, and there will always be some hardships. It doesn't matter, he can bear it and endure it. His ideals, ambitions, brilliant achievements, and great moments will eventually come! Not too far away! Wang Shuifeng was tempted by the big cake drawn by her third son, and agreed to sell the yard to raise capital for business.
At this time, Meng Tao was still on the road. She had no idea that she had been cursed and scolded by Tian Zhigao and Wang Shuifeng, the disgusting mother and son, all night long. Fortunately, she never associated with scumbags, so she had no reaction at all, not even a sneeze.
They were getting closer and closer to the provincial capital, only a few dozen kilometers away. The road condition was very good, all asphalt. There was no one in the middle of the night, so they could just step on the accelerator to the bottom. It was just like being on a highway in the future. It felt so good. Meng Tao made a list in her mind while driving, preparing to take out some "local specialties" from the space to bring to her father-in-law.
Bayberry and loquat produced in Xingyang County, fresh vegetables and fruits, bayberry wine brewed in the space, two large dried fish, more than ten pounds of tiger meat and wild boar meat... If Director Shen can't finish it, he can share it with his friends, colleagues and subordinates, to see who is lucky enough to have it.
There are also several "new varieties" of crops in the space. Two months ago, when Shen Yu took Meng Tao to the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences for a "visit", he secretly picked small seedlings from the experimental fields of the people there, planted them in the space, and watered them with spring water. Now they are ripe and ready for picking: sweet corn, big bell peppers, two-foot-long cowpeas, big loofahs, big bitter melons, crisp jade watermelons...
Meng Tao thought that she would not share these with relatives and friends for the time being. After all, they were new varieties. Even without the blessing of space, they tasted very good, especially the sweet corn, which was fragrant and sweet and could be eaten as fruit. She was just afraid that people would fall in love with the taste and come to ask where she bought it every day. It was not easy to answer.
Let’s wait until the Academy of Agricultural Sciences has fully promoted the seedlings.
