Chapter 1015: Not handing the contract
When the villagers heard that they would also get a chance to make money from the contract that Yu Dong had signed they felt their minds were blown up.
One of the elderly women couldn't help but confirm what Yu Dong said to them, " Miss Yu, are you saying that we are also your partners in the contract?"
Even the rest of the villagers were shocked, they thought that Yu Dong would solely sell the vegetables to the Song restaurant and wouldn't include them but they were happy enough to earn an extra tael even if Yu Dong was to sell their vegetables in her own shop. But now she was telling them that they could sell hundreds of catties of vegetables to her at the market price that she had fixed!
Yu Dong smiled at the disbelieving expressions on the faces of the villagers and nodded, " Of course, when I took the responsibility of making this village one of the richest villages in the country, I already decided that I was going to bring you along with me no matter what kind of deals I sign. At the moment, only I can provide the vegetables to the Song family's restaurant but that is nowhere enough as I also need to sell a hundred catties of vegetables at the shop, which is why you all also need to start growing your vegetables as soon as you are done turning your soil over."
She paused and then added, " Just so you know, I am not going to buy vegetables that are rotten or wilted. You all might have already heard this but I only sell the freshest stock in the market, that is to say, the vegetables which are freshly harvested, if your crops rot or their roots turn bad then you need to call me as soon as possible. That way I would be able to help you but in case you hide the matter from me and try to pass off second-grade vegetables as first grade then I will cancel the contract and ask you for compensation, understand?"
" Of course, we will give our all to make sure that nothing like that happens," the villagers were not a fool they could see that following Yu Dong would bring them many benefits and thus they were willing to listen to her, especially after finding out that she was willing to include them in her deals and contracts.
Most of the villagers suddenly became even more honest but there were some who wanted to take advantage of the situation after finding out how wonderful working with Yu Dong was and one of them was Old Master Tong. After finding out that the seeds Yu Dong handed the villagers were a special breed created by Yu Dong, he immediately wanted to get his hands on the seeds but he was too embarrassed to ask Yu Dong.
However, his embarrassment flew out of the window the second he found out that Yu Dong had signed a contract with Song restaurant and even included the rest of the villagers, which means that except for his family, the entire village would be able to earn money by selling their vegetables to Yu Dong who would further sell the vegetables to the Song Restaurant at a higher price!
The itch in his heart grew more and more and in the end, he couldn't help but rush over to the Yu family house, but he did not have the courage to meet Yu Dong.
He could only go and look for Shen Li, who had the gentlest temper among the four mers of Yu Dong.
" Li'er, I heard that you and your family are handing contracts to those who are willing to open their fields for growing vegetables for your family?" He asked with a smile.
Shen Li was taking a walk outside with Ning Yu when Old Master Tong suddenly rushed towards him. Seeing the shameless old mer who wanted to take advantage of his wife even after killing his mother-in-law and father-in-law, Shen Li smiled in a fake manner, " I am sorry, Old Master Tong but the contracts have been handed out and you are too late to ask for one. Most of the villagers have built the greenhouse over their fields and are now about to sow the seeds, if we hand you the contract now then it will only delay the matter."
" But…But you handed one to Yu Le !" Old Master Tong pointed out that he knew that Yu Dong gave Yu Le a special contract, not only did he sign the fifty per cent contract but he also got land and materials to build the greenhouse even after others were done with theirs.
Yu Le was still working in his fields while most of the villagers were already sowing the seeds.
" Oh, Old Master Tong.. you are making this awkward for me, its true that my wife did hand over a contract to Uncle Le but that is because he is our family members and a mer who needs to rely on himself," Shen Li reminded Old Master Tong that he was no longer the member of their family with a cold expression on his face. " You have no relations to our family so tell me why should we make an exception for you? If you wanted to sign a contract then you should have come earlier with your wife, if we continue handing the contract without any sense of time, wouldn't it mean that we are making a loss here?"
Old Master Tong couldn't help but get angry as he said, " Just say that you don't want to hand me a contract because you don't want to! Why are you making so many excuses?"
"Fine, you are right," Shen Li nodded as he dropped his gaze and looked down at Old Master Tong who was shorter than him. " I would rather hand the contract to a dog than you, is that okay now? After what you did do you think it makes sense for our family to trust you?"
