Her implication was that if the condition couldn't be cured, she couldn't blame me for not paying, since the family still needed to make a living.
Liu Weisong gave her a deep look, and finally nodded. In fact, he didn't know if the money would be enough, but this was the best outcome.
Although Liu Shile and the others were far away, her ears were sharp enough that she heard the conversation inside the room clearly, and then she shook her head inwardly.
Their family has a lot of savings, plus some less-than-honorable items that are also quite valuable. How could they not be able to support their daily life?
Once her father's leg is healed, even if things don't go well in the future, it will still bring in some income for the family—a steady, long-term income.
However, the adults' affairs were not her concern. She hadn't told her older brother that their father had injured his leg, partly because she didn't want him to worry, and partly because she was considering taking their father to see a doctor.
Yes, regardless of whether her family pays or not, Liu Shile plans to take her father out to treat his leg injury. As long as Western medicine can fix her father's bones and heal his injury, she can do it herself.
Although the matter has been settled, we will have to wait until Liu Shile and the others register for school before we can leave. Liu Shile has been busy these days, going up the mountain to pick fruit with her second brother and Wang Guangying and his sister.
Of course, she would occasionally take out the fruit from the farm. No matter how delicious the fruit was, she was only one person, and it would be a waste to leave it there if she couldn't finish it.
Wang Xiaodong was very helpful. Last year, he established a good relationship with the purchasing manager of the city's supply and marketing cooperative by selling kiwifruit, and they agreed that the cooperative would buy the fruit this year.
The main reason is that the fruit is not expensive, can be stored after being picked, and is not easily damaged, thus reducing the risk.
He had told Liu Shih-hua when he passed through the county town before, and he was very anxious because supplies were even more scarce due to the heavy rains this year.
But there was no use in being anxious. Her younger sister's condition was unknown. Although Liu Shihua had been home for a few days, she hadn't picked many fruits because the weather wasn't very good.
But as soon as her younger sister returned, Liu Shihua told her about it. Liu Shile hadn't expected that when she tried to send it to the supply and marketing cooperative last year, they wouldn't accept it, but Wang Xiaodong gave her such a big surprise.
The mountains are vast, and the willow farm has many trees. It would be good to get more fruit this time. As for the price, since this is a business with no capital investment, the quantity doesn't matter. As long as the volume is good, that's fine.
Although the deep mountains were dangerous, Liu Shile wasn't worried at all because of Da Bai and Xiao Bai, so the group spent the last few days in the mountains.
Zhang Sumei's expression wasn't very good at first, but Liu Shihua and the others were leaving early and returning late every day, so she couldn't find any opportunity to find fault with them.
These days, Liu Shile and the others have been spending their time deep in the mountains, picking almost all the kiwifruit. Including what Liu Shile harvested, the total is about 4,000 jin (2,000 kg).
"Lele, will that Brother Wang you mentioned really take all these hairy fruits?" Although he trusted Liu Shile, Wang Guangying was still a little worried when he saw so many fruits.
The main problem was the sheer quantity. Although she thought the fritters were quite delicious, she still couldn't believe that anyone would actually buy them all.
Liu Shihua smiled and said, "Don't worry, Sister Guangying. Brother Wang told me in advance that he would accept as many as we have."
The price has been agreed upon. Although it's not expensive, only five cents a pound, all of these would add up to two or three hundred yuan.
This is a considerable income, considering their annual tuition is only around ten yuan!
Liu Shile felt that the price was too low and not worth it, but she wanted to give her money a legitimate source, so she treated it as doing a good deed.
Although Wang Guangjie wanted to ask something, he didn't in the end. Anyway, the deed was done, and the result didn't matter.
Anyway, they're brothers, so it doesn't matter if it's all for nothing. Just consider it exercise. They've learned a lot these past few days, which they'll definitely be able to use in the future.
He never expected that these wild fruits, which no one would value, would sell for more than 220 yuan!
That's over two hundred yuan, which is equivalent to more than half a year's salary for my father, and they only spent a few days on it.
Most importantly, they didn't invest any capital, just spent some time and effort, and yet they earned so much, which Wang Guangjie and his sister found hard to believe.
"Brother Guangjie, Sister Ying'er, please take this money." Liu Shihua handed half a bill to Wang Guangjie and said sincerely.
This money was something he and his sister had agreed upon. The other person came to help them without saying a word, so they couldn't let them work for free, could they?
Liu Shile had money, and she had acquired a lot of good stuff on this trip, including a considerable amount of small and large yellow croakers, so she had no objection to splitting it equally.
However, Wang Guangjie and his sister were taken aback by Liu Shihua's actions. After a moment of stunned silence, they waved their hands repeatedly, saying, "Shihua, what are you doing? We're just here to help. We don't want this money."
"No way. You've all worked just as hard as we have these past few days, so we should all share the profits. If you don't accept them, we won't dare ask you for help in the future."
Although Liu Shihua felt a pang of regret over the money, he also felt that the money should be divided, since he and his sister wouldn't have been able to harvest so much without their help.
Well, what he didn't know was that even if it was just him and his sister picking fruit, his sister could pick just as much if she wanted to.
But who told him not to know? He felt he should give half to them, especially since his sister thought the same thing, so the money had to be shared!
"Yes, Brother Guangjie, Sister Ying'er, please don't be shy. If you hadn't come, we wouldn't have been able to pick so many fruits. It's better for everyone to make money together."
Liu Shile also spoke with a smile. She did this for two reasons: firstly, people were indeed kind to them, and secondly, she wanted to bind them together by mutual benefit.
The Wang family has a clean background and is of impeccable character. Moreover, Mayor Wang is an upright person. It would only be beneficial for them to associate with Wang Guangjie and his group.
Besides, this is money they earned themselves, so it's only right that they get a share, and no one can say anything about it.
"That won't do. You found the sales channels and came up with the idea. Ying'er and I only put in a little effort. We can't ask for so much."
Okay, we'll take a small cut and keep 50 yuan. The rest is yours. That's our bottom line. Otherwise, I won't dare help you again if anything happens in the future.
Wang Guangjie thought for a moment before finally saying that he knew Shihua and the others genuinely wanted to give them money, but they really couldn't accept that much.
In fact, Wang Guangjie felt that 50 yuan was too much, after all, his father didn't even earn that much in a month, and he and his sister had only helped out for a few days.
But he also knew that Shihua and the others were not people who would compromise easily. If he asked for too little, they probably wouldn't dare to bother him for help in the future.
