135 Chapter 134, Settle The Accounts
“Is it worth it for this thousand Yuan? With Li Lei’s filial piety, even if his parents gave him this thousand yuan, he would return it!” Liang Yufang snorted coldly and said.
Hearing this, Yufang’s mother didn’t say anything.
She had to admit that what her daughter said was the truth.
This was something that Li Lei would do!
“Then… What should we do now?” Yufang’s mother’s voice weakened as she asked.
In fact, she was still very satisfied with Li Lei as her son-in-law.
His parents had built a greenhouse, so they would probably be able to help out in the future. She heard that his elder sister was doing small business in the city, and his younger sister had been admitted to a key university in B City.
The girls’ heart was all for their parents! These two sisters would definitely help Li Lei in the future!
It was just that Li Yong’s younger brother was a little worrying! It was said that he has a sweet mouth. It was likely that in the future, the Li family’s small businesses would all be swindled by him!
But it didn’t matter. Their family’s Yufang had many tricks, and they could always find a way to make up for it.
This Li Lei could be considered a talented person with good looks.
Thinking of this, Yufang’s mother began to feel a little regretful in her heart.
If she had known earlier, she would have listened to her daughter and not gone to cause trouble for the Li family.
At that time, she had been possessed by the devil. When she heard that the Li family held a banquet and built a large greenhouse, she immediately got greedy!
“What else could I do? I could only push all the blame onto you! I told him that I didn’t know anything and only thought that you went to the Li family once. Furthermore, it was a friendly discussion.”
Yufang’s mother quickly nodded, “I know, I know. The next time Li Lei comes, I will say so!”
After saying that, she looked at her son who was lying on the bed reading a wuxia book, “Yuqiang, did you hear that? Don’t let it slip!”
Liang Yuqiang saw the excitement and said perfunctorily, “I know, I know!”
Only then did Yufang’s mother happily go to the kitchen. She flipped through the things that Li Lei brought over and smacked her lips, “He only brought so little, tsk…”
As she spoke, she had already opened the milk. She took a box and handed it to Liang Yuqiang, “Son, quickly drink a box and grow up!”
Liang Yufang looked at her mother’s greedy look and sighed helplessly!
She hoped that her relationship with Li Lei would really work out!
After all, Li Lei was the most generous and the one who treated her the best!
…
When Li Lei returned home, it was already past eleven o’clock.
Li Yong, Liu Guihua, and Li Xu were busy in the kitchen, so Li Lei went straight to the kitchen.
Seeing her son return, Liu Guihua hurriedly asked, “How was it? What did Yufang and her mother say?”
Li Lei stood at the door of the kitchen and said with some hesitation, “Yufang said that she didn’t know that her mother had said nasty things. She even said that if we really couldn’t take out the thousand Yuan, she would go on a hunger strike to protest with her mother!”
When Liu Guihua heard that, she immediately said, “I told you, Yufang is such a good child. She has the same heart as you. You mustn’t break her heart. You can send this thousand Yuan in the afternoon! The two of you have been together for three years. You mustn’t make things difficult because of this thousand Yuan.”
Ji Yuanyuan listened from the side, but her instincts told her that something wasn’t right.
The Liang family was in the wrong to add the betrothal gift at the last minute.
If Liang Yufang really had the same heart as her uncle and was really sensible, then they shouldn’t ask for this one thousand Yuan anymore.
But from what Liang Yufang said, this one thousand Yuan was still worth it.
Moreover, her words were well-spoken. She could attack and retreat, but she could also defend.
If her uncle could give this one thousand Yuan, Liang Yufang would naturally benefit. After all, it was a betrothal gift for her. If her uncle didn’t give her a thousand Yuan, Liang Yufang would rebel against her family. She would still benefit. She would also gain a good impression from the Li family.
She didn’t know if she was thinking too much, but she felt that there was something wrong with this matter.
She hadn’t seen Liang Yufang before, so she couldn’t make a conclusion.
She looked at her uncle worriedly.
If things were really as she thought, then this Liang Yufang wasn’t simple.
When they got married in the future, her uncle’s life would be very difficult!
Fortunately, Li Lei also felt a little conflicted and did not immediately agree.
He only said, “I’ll think about this matter again. We’ll talk about it tomorrow!”
Liu Guihua wanted to say something else, Li Yong opened his mouth and said, “Enough, Mother. You shouldn’t get involved in my brother’s matter. If Liang Yufang is really a good person, she should go on a hunger strike right now and won’t ask for this thousand Yuan no matter what.”
He sneered, “This kind of trick can only fool an honest person like you!”
As an outsider, it was naturally not easy for Zhang Kun to speak at this time.
However, he also felt that something was not right. He could only say tactfully, “At this time, it’s right to be cautious. We can slow things down and let Xiao Lei think about it!”
Li Xu didn’t say anything, she just glanced at Li Lei.
Ji Yuanyuan listened to her Second Uncle and Uncle Zhang’s words and felt relieved.
It seemed that she wasn’t the only one who found out that there was a problem.
Looking at her Eldest Uncle’s expression, she felt even more relieved!
Her Eldest Uncle didn’t seem to be enchanted by the other party. She saw that when he was back, not only was he unhappy, but he was also frowning!
…
Li Zhiming didn’t come back to eat. After everyone finished their meal, they brought the food to the field.
The eggplant was almost ripe now. Li Zhiming was worried that the eggplant would be stolen even if he left for a while.
Standing on the ground, Li Lei looked at the fruitful vegetables in the ground and was a little surprised.
Li Zhiming ate his meal, he said proudly, “This acre of eggplant can be harvested in another ten days or half a month. I think the yield is at least five to six thousand catties per mu of land. The wholesale price is a little cheaper. Even if it’s thirty cents per catty, it will still be sold for three thousand Yuan. The capital for this greenhouse will be earned back!”
He took another step to the side, “These cuc.u.mbers will still take more than a month to harvest. The yield of these cuc.u.mbers is twice that of eggplant. Each mu of land can be harvested for at least ten thousand catties. Two mu of land is twenty thousand catties, which is also considered thirty cents per catty. How much is that?”
He looked at the children with some pride.
“It can be sold for 6,000 Yuan!” Ji Zi’ang answered quickly.
Li Zhiming’s eyes reddened when he heard this number.
“It’s a total of 9,000 Yuan. After deducting the money spent on seeds, fertilizer, and watering, we can at least have 7,000 to 8,000 yuan left! In the past, we had to plant a lot of wheat and corn to earn 7,000 to 8,000 Yuan!”
Li Xu was naturally not surprised. She knew that this business made money.
However, it was the first time the others heard Li Zhiming calculate this amount. They were all a little surprised.
Zhang Kun said to Li Xu in a low voice, “This greenhouse actually makes so much money? The income of this greenhouse is equivalent to my income of a year and a half.”
He earned 400 Yuan a month. In a year, including all kinds of bonuses, it was less than 6,000 Yuan!
When Li Yong heard that he said with excitement, “What the f*ck am I still doing? I’ll resign tomorrow and go back home to farm with you!”
As soon as he said that, he was slapped by Li Xu, “Why are you swearing in front of the children?”
Li Lei was not as optimistic as them. He turned his head and looked at Liu Zhiming and Liu Guihua. He said with some heartache, “You earn a lot of money, but you have to work hard!”
