The truck just now was only a third full.
It’s already more than two thousand pounds?
She said it was 35 cents a pound, if she were to take all of them away…
Wei Zhenghao counted with his fingers, and when he finally understood, he almost choked on his saliva.
“Cough, cough… akhem…” Wei Zhenghao patted his chest with all his might.
Wei Zhenghao looked at Zhang Yao in disbelief.
There were two acres of land total, and Zhang Yao divided them into two types. One acre of land was planted with cucumbers, and another was planted with eggplants.
Eggplants would ripen in two months, and they could be planted several times a year.
According to this calculation, the annual net profit of one acre of land could reach ten thousand yuan in two months!
Ten thousand Yuan! What kind of concept was this?
How many households with ten thousand yuan were there in their village?
If his family became a household with a ten thousand yuan income, wouldn’t he be able to do whatever he wanted in the village?
He initially thought that Zhang Yao was just a small fry and might not even be able to earn back the cost of the greenhouse in a year.
Only now did he know that Zhang Yao had accidentally done a profitable business.
Wei Zhenghao saw Zhang Yao and Zhang Jun carrying a basket of eggplants.
He quickly put down his hoe and went up to her. “Zhang Yao, let me do it!”
He reached out his hand and was about to help Zhang Yao.
But Zhang Yao reached out and pushed him away. “Go away!”
The last basket of eggplants was piled on the ground, and Zhang Yao raised her hand to wipe her sweat.
Wenwen walked up to her with the teacup in her arms. “Mommy, drink some water!”
Zhang Yao took it with a smile and drank the water in the cup in one gulp.
Wei Zhenghao didn’t give up and went up again. “You rest for a while. When Sister-in-law comes, I’ll help her pack!”
Zhang Yao remembered how Wei Zhenghao had ignored her for the past two months, and she was furious.
“Wei Zhenghao, you don’t have to worry about my business. Don’t even think about getting a single cent of my money.” Zhang Yao directly destroyed Wei Zhenghao’s fantasy.
Wei Zhenghao’s thoughts were seen through in front of so many people, and he looked a little embarrassed.
He looked at Zhang Jun and the others, but they were all talking as if they didn’t hear the movement here.
Wei Zhenghao frowned and wanted to get angry, but he thought of something and held it in.
Li Xu drove back and forth a few times before finally finishing collecting all the eggplants from the two stores.
In the end, Zhang Jun’s family had more than eight thousand pounds, and Zhang Yao’s side was about six pounds less.
One of them cost more than three thousand yuan, while the other cost more than two thousand yuan.
“I don’t have that much cash at home. I’ll go to the bank to withdraw it tomorrow and send it to you!” Li Xu said.
Wei Zhenghao’s eyes lit up as he listened.
Zhang Jun and Hao Meiting muttered something to each other as if they were discussing something.
After a while, Zhang Jun said, “Sister-in-law, I don’t need to trouble you to make this trip. I’ll go over tomorrow. I’ll take the money and pay back the loan. I don’t feel at ease if I keep owing the bank money.”
The smile on Hao Melting’s face never stopped. “Yeah, when I took out the loan, I thought it would take one or two years to pay back the money. Who knew it would be so fast? If we pay it back earlier, we can save some interest.”
Li Xu nodded and looked at Zhang Yao. “How about you?”
Zhang Yao hesitated, and Wei Zhenghao said, “We don’t have enough to pay you back, so we’ll have to trouble sister-in-law to come…”
“I’ll go with Xiao Jun!” Zhang Yao directly interrupted Wei Zhenghao’s words and shouted.
Wei Zhenghao frowned, “Didn’t you take out a loan of three thousand? What can I do with two thousand yuan?”
“I’ll pay off a portion first and save as much interest as I can,” Zhang Yao said.
“Alright then. The two of you can come to the shop to look for me tomorrow!” Li Xu said.
After saying goodbye to Wang Yuechu and Zhang Dali, she left with the last cart of eggplants.
After packing up, Zhang Jun and his family went home. Zhang Yao also held Wen Wen’s hand and slowly walked home.
On the way back, Wei Zhenghao walked behind Zhang Yao.
Seeing that Zhang Yao’s face was still dark, Wei Zhenghao couldn’t help but mumble, “Didn’t you take a year’s loan? Why the rush? What’s the point of saving on the interest?”
Zhang Yao’s lips twitched. “We don’t have anywhere to spend money at home, so what can we do if we don’t pay the loan?”
Zhang Yao’s voice was gentler than before, and Wei Zhenghao thought she wasn’t angry anymore. He immediately went up and said, “Why don’t we have any place to use money at home? There are so many places at home where money is needed. Look, other people even have a television at home. We can’t afford a color TV, but we can buy a black and white one, right?
“And our mother, I haven’t given her any money in a long time. Give me 50 yuan tomorrow, and I’ll send fifty yuan to Mother first. I’m going to buy some more ribs and make some stewed ribs to eat. I’ve paid for Wenwen’s school fees, and I haven’t seen a meat in more than a month…!”
Wei Zhenghao rambled on and on, and Zhang Yao couldn’t help but laugh.
“What does this money have to do with you? This land belongs to us, mother and daughter. I borrowed a loan to build this greenhouse. I grew these eggplants bit by bit. Just tell me, how much of this 2000 Yuan belongs to you?”
Zhang Yao’s words made Wei Zhenghao completely stunned.
“We’re husband and wife. What’s there to split?”
“You also know that we’re a couple? Why haven’t I seen you watering me once in the past two months? Or give fertilizer even once? You want money? No way!” Zhang Yao had earned money, so her words were more firm.
She picked up her pace as she hugged Wenwen.
Wei Zhenghao stood behind her and looked at her back, lost in thought.
The next day was Monday. Zhang Jun and Zhang Yao arrived at 10 am.
Wang Yuechu also came with them.
Li Xu accompanied them to the bank and gave them the money.
Zhang Jun and Zhang Yao immediately took the money and paid off the loan they owed the bank.
Zhang Jun paid back all of it, but Zhang Yao only paid half of it, so she still had more than five hundred yuan left.
After dealing with the loan, Zhang Yao took Wang Yuechu to deal with a passbook.
“What does your Sister mean by making a passbook for Mother?” Li Xu asked Zhang Jun curiously.
“My Sister wants to deposit all the money under our Mother’s name. Don’t tell anyone about this,” Zhang Jun whispered.
If his Brother-in-law knew about this, he would definitely cause a huge ruckus.
Although Li Xu was a little surprised, she still promised, “Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone.”
He didn’t expect the weak-looking Zhang Yao would have such a mind.
She must have made this passbook to guard against Wei Zhenghao.
Li Xu couldn’t say whether Zhang Yao’s actions were right or wrong. After all, everyone’s situation was different.
If this had happened in their family, it would definitely be wrong for her to be so guarded against Zhang Kun.
But in Zhang Yao’s family…
The passbook was quickly settled. Zhang Yao only kept a hundred yuan, and the rest was deposited into the passbook.
Coming out of the bank, Zhang Yao handed the passbook to Wang Yuechu. “Mother, please help me keep it!”
It would be terrible if Wei Zhenghao saw it at home.
She had to think for herself and Wenwen. Wei Zhenghao didn’t have this family in his heart.
He had always felt it was not easy for his mother to raise them all by herself, and his mind was full of filial piety..
