Rebirth: I became rich by farming Chapter 26 - 26 26 School is about to start

Chapter 26: Chapter 26: School is about to start Chapter 26: Chapter 26: School is about to start Zhang saw i ngzhen approaching and seized the opportunity to help lift a fra at their stall, grabbing the chance to buy so fresh vegetables firsthand.

However, when she caught sight of the giant apples, she couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise, “My goodness, these apples look too good to be true.”

“Eggplants and cucumbers are five yuan each, apples ten yuan apiece.”

Zhang, who had tasted their vegetables before, naturally could not resist buying more, though she couldn’t help feeling the pinch, “The veggies are just too pricey, but that’s my problem, not an issue with your vegetables.”

After buying vegetables, she couldn’t resist getting two apples to try at ho.

The other stall owners nearby did the sa, each buying a bit of everything to take ho and taste.

Whether it was buying vegetables or sothing else, everyone loved to swarm and snap up the goods, the more people there were, the hotter the business.

And so it was no exception at i ngzhen’s stand, where the second batch of vegetables brought in was quickly divided up and sold out.

She first stashed away the newly purchased cart and fras in a secluded spot inside the space, then took the original trailer and two fras back ho.

From the ti she left ho until her return, it altogether took a little over two hours, and by the ti the three of them got ho, it was not yet 11 o’clock.

The three couldn’t say they were very tired, but once they reached the living room and saw the sofa, they couldn’t help but lie down and let out a sigh of relief, “Finally lying down.”

Indeed, not only could she lie down, but she could finally put down the bag full of money. For so reason, i ngzhen sighed, “This big bag of money, it’s made my shoulders ache.”

The bag for money wasn’t big, really just a small crossbody bag, one that i’s mother had used to hold money before. She didn’t want to waste it, and moreover, collecting money with it slung across was more convenient.

And now, that little crossbody bag was bulging with money, so much so that when she collected the last few paynts, she almost couldn’t zip it shut.

“You really are…” Liang Xiao knew that i ngzhen was not showing off to her, but she still couldn’t help wanting to laugh.

i ngzhen placed the bag on the sofa, barely opened the zipper, and the money imdiately spilled out, mostly in tens and twenties, with so fifties and hundreds as well.

i ngzhen simply laid on the sofa and began counting the money bill by bill. They had made 730 yesterday, but today’s two batches of vegetables brought their takings to a soaring 1680 yuan. She hadn’t expected selling vegetables could earn her so much money.

It wasn’t just her, even Liang Xiao was astonished, “Is selling vegetables really so profitable?” But she quickly grasped sothing, “That’s your gross profit, don’t you deduct costs?”

Of course, she knew to deduct costs, but her costs were virtually nothing: the land in the space, the seeds in the space, it all took just a minute or two of her ti, but she couldn’t say that outright, “I also count by what cos in, today’s vegetables cost 3.5 each, so I earned 1.5 yuan from each sale. Plus, I sell on credit, paying for today’s veggies when I pick them up tomorrow, so there’s no loss.”

Hearing i ngzhen explain it like this put Liang Xiao sowhat at ease. As for precisely how much money i ngzhen had made that day, Liang Xiao didn’t feel it right to help her calculate, “Just make sure your accounts are in order, so when you pay tomorrow, you won’t end up shortchanging yourself.”

“I know.” i ngzhen took out a hundred yuan bill and gave it to Liang Xiao, “Here.”

Liang Xiao was genuinely baffled, “What are you giving money for?”

“Didn’t we agree? This is your wage, a hundred a day.”

Liang Xiao said with a smile, “You’re really paying ? It’s not easy for you to earn money, I can’t take it from you.”

Liang Xiao felt that since her family was bereft of adults, the money would definitely be needed in the future, so she really couldn’t accept it, and besides, she hadn’t taken yesterday’s conversation seriously.

“We had an agreent, how can you not take it? You’ve seen how good my business is, I never worry about sales, so I do need you to co and help out every day.”

After thinking it over, Liang Xiao solemnly declined i ngzhen’s offer, “I’m happy you’d give money, but you know my family situation. If they find out, it’s hard to explain, and if my family discovers it, the money won’t end up in my hands anyway, and I’ll feel even worse about it. Consider it as volunteering to help you, I don’t want the money.”

Her words were indeed sincere, i ngzhen thought for a mont and said, “How about this? I’ll save it for you. I’ll set aside a hundred for you each day you co until school starts. Of course, if we still have ti and can continue doing this after school starts, it’s still a hundred a day. I’ll save it all for you, as long as you don’t feel shortchanged.”

Liang Xiao thought the suggestion was very good, but she still felt the amount was too high, “I haven’t done much, just bagging stuff, and to receive so much money makes feel undeserving.”

“What is there to feel undeserving about? Take it when it’s given to you, you might need it later on. Right now, I’m helping you, but who knows if I’ll need your help more in the future.”

Honestly, i ngzhen’s generosity had its limits, and Liang Xiao had been so kind to her in her previous life that paying only a hundred a day was actually to her own discredit.

“Why don’t you stay for dinner? I bought lots of vegetables yesterday.”

Liang Xiao shook her head, “My mom already scolded for coming ho after dinner yesterday, if I don’t go back today she really might not let eat, and it’s already 11 o’clock, I have to go now. What are you planning to do this afternoon?”

“I plan to do so reading.” She wanted to take advantage of these ten-plus days to review her previous knowledge.

Yet hearing this, Liang Xiao reacted as though she’d seen a ghost. They both were decent students, but them not really loving study was an understatent. During sumr vacation, managing to finish their howork was already an achievent; reviewing books was simply unthinkable.

“Oh, right, school starts in a week, it’s ti for a review,” Liang Xiao concurred with i ngzhen’s opinion.

However, i ngzhen was taken aback again, “Isn’t there still half a month of sumr break left? How did it beco only one week? You got the dates wrong, right?”

“No way, you’re the one who’s mistaken. We’re starting senior year, and seniors have to start a week early. It’s because our school is so XX. Even in the city next door, people only had one week off for sumr break. And here you are, a junior-to-be, hoping to start school along with the freshn and sophomores. What are you thinking?”

“When you reminded to do my howork yesterday, how could you have not ntioned the school start date in passing?” Of course, there was no bla in her voice for Liang Xiao; after inquiring about howork yesterday, wasn’t this the next logical question?

“How would I have known you forgot that too?”

“Which ans I only have one week left to sell vegetables,” but compared to making money from selling vegetables, studying was now the priority, right? Yet the thought of passing up the money at hand made her heart twinge with pain like it was shot with an arrow.

After the pain subsided, i ngzhen perked up, “There’s still a week left, I ought to be able to figure sothing out.”

After seeing Liang Xiao off, she began preparing lunch, yet i ngchen overheard their conversation and it stuck in his head.
