Chapter 52: lon Farrs Selling lons
Just as a few lon farrs were discussing Shi Lichun and his brothers’ waterlons enthusiastically, a lon farr’s phone suddenly rang.
He picked up his phone and glanced at it. It was from an unidentified number.
He hung up without thinking and put it back in his pocket. With a look of disdain, he said, “Hmph, these calls are from scamrs. They can dream on if they want to cheat of my money.”
As soon as he finished speaking, another lon farr’s phone rang.
Shi Xianlin picked up the call without looking at the caller ID.
“Hello, ah, Boss Liu, hello, hello. Yes, I’m Shi Xianlin. What? Is what you said true? Okay, okay, I’ll tell the others.” Shi Xianlin’s expression beca more and more agitated.
After he hung up, the other lon farrs imdiately asked curiously, “Shi Xianlin, looking at your happy expression, did you encounter sothing good?”
Shi Xianlin said excitedly, “That’s Boss Liu’s call. He said that he wants 30,000 catties of waterlon. My family has planted three acres of land. The ripe waterlons probably make up only 5,000 to 6,000 catties. In other words, we’re still short of 20,000 catties.”
When the other three lon farrs heard this, they were so shocked that they imdiately stood up from the haystack they were sitting on. They also looked excited.
“Da Linzi, are you telling the truth? Did Boss Liu really say that? Is he a scamr?”
“Didn’t he just order 20,000 catties of waterlon from Shi Lichun’s family not long ago?”
“Shi Lichun said that their waterlons are not for sale anymore. If he sells them, can’t Boss Liu buy from others? I have more than 10,000 catties of waterlons in my land. I’ll pick them and sell them later.”
“No, if you sell more than 10,000 catties of waterlon, how can our family sell more than 5,000 catties of waterlon?”
More than 10,000 catties of waterlon was about 5,000 dollars.
If they didn’t sell it, they would all rot.
Now, they would even sell them at 30 cents per catty, let alone 40 cents.
“My family also has more than 10,000 catties. Am I allowed to sell it?”
“My waterlons are prettier and sweeter than yours.”
“Hehe, your waterlons are prettier and sweeter? Aren’t you afraid of biting your tongue when you say that? In Stoneback Village, other than the Shi brothers’ waterlons, everyone else’s waterlons are the sa. No one is better than anyone else!”
“Alright, stop arguing. Boss Liu said that he’s already driving over. Let’s hurry up and pick waterlons in the fields. Boss Liu wants 30,000 waterlons. From my estimation, my family can supply 5,000 catties. You should all go to the fields and pick so.”
“The waterlons that our families can pick and sell are 30,000 catties. Are you sure Boss Liu wants 30,000 catties? What if he doesn’t want them after we pick them?”
As long as there was no deposit, such reneging happened in the countryside.
Shi Xianlin hesitated for a mont.
He said, “I’ll call and ask again. It won’t be too late for us to go to the field to pick waterlons after I ask. Also, we’ll definitely have to hire soone to pick waterlons.”
Even though there were not many waterlons in their fields, the young people had all gone out to work. They definitely could not handle it on their own. They had to hire so people.
At the thought that it would cost a few hundred dollars to hire soone, his heart ached.
The inco yielded from 6,000 catties of waterlon was only 3,000 dollars. If the hire fee of a few hundred dollars was spent at once, his heart would really ache.
However, they had no choice. He and his wife could not pick 5,000 catties. Moreover, even if they could, Boss Liu would not be able to wait long. If Boss Liu did not want these waterlons in the end, they would not be able to cry hard enough.
Shi Xianlin called Boss Liu back. When the other party picked up, he asked nervously, “Boss Liu? Hello, hello, I’m Shi Xianlin. I called to confirm that you’re coming to our village to buy 30,000 catties of waterlon? Oh, okay, okay, I understand.”
A mont later, Shi Xianlin hung up.
Then, he said to the other three lon farrs, “Boss Liu is sure that he wants 30,000 catties of waterlon. The premise is that he has to go to the fields to take a look at the waterlons first. He definitely doesn’t want those in bad condition.”
“That must be it.”
The three lon farrs nodded in unison.
“Since it’s confird to be 30,000 catties from our four families, the number of ripe waterlons in the ground should be about right.”
“Then let’s hurry ho and hire soone. We definitely can’t pick so many waterlons ourselves. We have to hire soone to choose and load the cart.”
“Go, go, go!”
As he walked, he said, “I didn’t expect Shi Lichun’s family to reject Boss Liu. We’ve benefited from it. Haha, after we sell the waterlons later, we won’t have to worry about not being able to sleep in the future.” The villager, Shi Bangliang, said, “Although the price this year is a little low, at least we don’t have to worry about it rotting in the ground and making a huge loss.”
Rural people relied on this inco all year round.
However, if the items planted could not be sold, it would be equivalent to working for nothing for a year. The hard work would have been wasted.
“I don’t know what Shi Lichun is thinking. He listened to a little girl and said that he won’t sell it.” Shi Bangming smiled and mocked, “Will he regret it when the lons rot in the ground?”
“You don’t have to care if they sell their lons or not. Their family is living such a good life. Even if all the waterlons rot on the ground, they will only make a loss this year, but not lose a few years of savings. Their family still has a house, a car, and money.”
The villager, Shi Bangqing, said with envy, “Besides, that niece of his is Shi Yashu’s daughter. Their family is so rich and has connections. Perhaps their niece found a buyer and sold all their waterlons.”
Although he said that, he didn’t think that Shi Lichun’s niece would help sell them at all.
If she would help sell them, she would have started helping years ago, not now.
Just two years ago, it rained for half a year, making it difficult not to sell the waterlons. Only a small portion of the waterlons of the Shi brothers were sold, and most of them rotted.
If Shi Yashu’s family would help, would those waterlons have rotted and caused the brothers to suffer a huge loss?
“Sigh, this Shi Yashu is really too much. She clearly lives such a good life and is married to such a rich family, but she’s unwilling to help her family.”
“A married daughter is like spilled water. As expected, no matter how high a girl’s education level is, no matter how much she reads, it’s still for her in-laws.”
“I heard that Shi Yashu is married to a husband with a net worth of billions. Hehe, if she’s willing to help her maternal family, as long as a little of it leaks from her fingers, these brothers of her maternal family will lead a good life. Would they still need to farm at ho all year round and do so much tiring work like us?”
“Alright, let’s hurry ho and hire soone to pick the waterlons. Boss Liu will be here soon.”
