His words enlightened Shumei. "Right! Why didn't I think of that? Your father used to run a grain store, so he should be able to judge the pros and cons of this. Then... I'll go there tomorrow and settle this matter before you start school."
"Yes! Mom, I believe you, nothing will be difficult for you."
The two smiled at each other, and the sadness on Shumei's face completely disappeared.
The next day, Shumei went to visit Boyi and told him her idea of opening a chicken farm.
In the visiting room of the town prison, Shumei and Boyi looked at each other with affection. Although this was not a place for romance, it did not prevent the two from sharing their feelings with each other.
"Shumei, I think this is a good idea, but I can't come out to help you. If I really support you to do it, won't it make you more tired?" The smile on Boyi's face disappeared instantly. While he was surprised, he was more worried that Shumei's body could not bear it.
"So you also think this method is feasible, right?" Shumei was a little excited.
"But...it is feasible...that is..."
"As long as it's feasible, I'll find a way to do the rest. Don't worry, as long as you think it's right, I will do my best to make it happen. If I can really make more money, it will also make life better for the children."
"Shumei, you've suffered so much."
"It's okay, I'm not suffering. Isn't it a good thing to have hope in life?"
"So...what about money? Do you have any money on hand?"
"As for money! It's like water in bubbles. If you squeeze it, there will always be some." Shumei showed an unnatural expression on her face. She was not afraid of hardship or fatigue, but money was really a problem. She really didn't have any spare money to spend.
"How about this. If the money is really not enough, I'll write to my sister and ask you to borrow some. They've been doing quite well these past two years, so they shouldn't refuse. If you really don't want to ask my sister, then mortgage your house and find someone to guarantee a loan from the foundation."
"Can I really get a loan?" Shumei was a little surprised.
"It should be possible. I heard it from my fellow inmates. If you really need it, go and try it."
"Okay, don't worry. Nothing is difficult if you set your mind to it. I can definitely build the chicken farm and do my best to give the children a good life."
"Okay, I'll do my best to behave and get out to help you sooner. Excluding vacations and sentence reductions, I should be able to get out in another year or two. I still owe you a wedding, and I'll definitely repay you when the time comes."
The two were still reluctant to leave, but unfortunately the visiting time was up. At the urging of the police guard, Boyi reluctantly followed the guard away.
"Bo Yi, just focus on your transformation. I'll come see you another day."
"Well! Go back! Be careful on the road, take good care of yourself, don't be reluctant to eat or wear..." Boyi walked to the door and turned back to remind Shumei. The guard urged him on, and he left reluctantly.
A few days later, with the support and persuasion of Xiao Youchen and Boyi, Shumei finally made up her mind to turn the land that could not grow crops into a small chicken farm.
Following Boyi's suggestion, she found Wen Dazui as a guarantor and used her own house to borrow money from the foundation. Wen Dazui had a safekeeping room and was considered a relatively reliable guarantor, so the loan was easily approved.
With the money problem solved, everything fell into place. She immediately got to work, hiring someone to build a fiberglass-tiled greenhouse with ventilation on all sides. She then went to find someone to weld the chicken coops, working without hesitation.
Of course, her avant-garde move also attracted a lot of criticism. No one believed that she could accomplish such an earth-shaking thing alone, so most people looked at her with sarcasm.
She had already contacted a chick farm and paid a deposit. Once the factory was built, she would go and get the chicks. Every day, she split her time between going out to buy supplies and supervising the workers. She carefully calculated the little money she had, spending every penny wisely.
Although the process was bumpy, she felt happy when she saw the chicken farm was about to be completed.
Seeing that the chicken farm was about to be completed, she felt a great sense of accomplishment. One day, she cooked some mung bean soup to reward the workers who were responsible for the construction.
She went out with a big pot and smiled, shouting to the busy workers: "Masters, you have worked hard. It's hot, so I made some mung bean soup for everyone to cool down."
She poured the mung bean soup from the pot into bowls and personally handed them to the workers, "Here, Master, have some."
The chefs didn't say anything, but took the bowls of soup with a smile, tilted their heads back and drank it in big gulps.
