1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

Chapter 221 Give him a peach and repay him with a plum

 “Let’s all comment.”

 “Isn’t this too much?”

Zhu Xiuhua’s voice became louder and louder, and she kept crying to her neighbors.

After hearing the whole story, Mi Xuedong, the eldest son of Mr. Mi, suddenly said excitedly:

 “Sister Xiuhua.”

“Did you just say that for one hundred and eighty you can contract an acre of oyster field owned by our village director?”

Zhu Xiuhua was extremely aggrieved.

"Um."

"Xuedong, do you think it's too expensive? One hundred and eighty acres. After all, I am also his sister-in-law. How can you sell it to me at such a high price?"

 Mi Xuedong smiled awkwardly when he heard the price. After looking at Zhu Xiuhua, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

This woman is really a living treasure. She is so blessed that she doesn’t know how blessed she is.

 Because of his father.

Mi Xuedong knows very well how much one acre of Li Duoyu's oyster field can be sold for. If he can actually contract it for 180, it will definitely make a lot of money, okay?

 It’s so cheap, so why is it so expensive?

Mi Xuedong saw Li Duoyu, who had just come out to pour water for washing his feet, and stepped forward: "Village director, are you planning to contract out the oyster field?"

 “What, what’s your problem?”

Mi Xuedong chuckled and said, "That's right. If you plan to contract, I will contract for ten acres. See if it works."

 Ten acres?

Seeing that Mi Xuedong, who was as smart as his father and never wanted to suffer losses, contracted ten acres of oyster fields in one breath.

 Everyone suddenly realized that this price can definitely make money. Someone seemed to have heard that the compensation price for the oyster thief last time was 300 per acre.

If it can be sold for this price, it will be really cheap if it is contracted for 180 yuan.

 “I also want to contract five acres.”

“There are many fish. My family doesn’t have much money. Can I contract one acre?”

Seeing that everyone wanted to contract the oyster field, Zhu Xiuhua gave up on the spot.

 “Are you stupid?”

“Don’t you think it’s expensive to contract an oyster field for one hundred and eighty acres?”

Mi Xuedong grinned: "Expensive, very expensive."

 “Then you are still contracting?”

“Business, you lose and you win, I’m not as lucky as you, I have a relative like Li Duoyu, I can make money while I’m at it.”

Zhu Xiuhua felt that Mi Xuedong had something to say, but she just couldn't feel that something was wrong.

Originally, she planned to ask everyone to comment on it, maybe the neighbors could comment.

 After the parents-in-law felt that they were wronged.

I am willing to contract the oyster fields to them at a cheaper price.

Unexpectedly, after hearing that my brother-in-law’s oyster field could be contracted, everyone rushed to contract it.

Zhu Xiuhua really can’t understand,

 Isn’t one hundred and eighty expensive?

 But obviously half a year ago, it was only 100 yuan.

Li Duoyu, who was wearing a pair of underpants, really didn’t expect that he would be surrounded by neighbors when he poured water for his feet.

I saw that they all wanted to contract their own oyster fields.

Li Duoyu thought for a moment.

 To be honest, he has also felt recently that there are too many things being farmed, which makes him very busy every day, and he rarely has time to spend with his family.

Seeing that Mi Xuedong and the others wanted to contract the oyster field, Li Duoyu really planned to contract it out directly like the fishing business.

"Okay, if you really plan to take over the contract, why don't I take the loss and give you 150 oyster fields for the first-age seedlings and 230 for the second-age seedlings?"

 After hearing this price.

Everyone present was dumbfounded: "Isn't it one hundred and eighty?"

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "That's the price for our family. I'll give it to my second brother. It can't be that expensive."

 “Oh, I thought I got a bargain.”

"can it be cheaper."

“No, I can sell my oysters for three hundred yuan per acre, so I’ll give you two hundred and three yuan, which is pretty good.”

 Zhu Xiuhua, who heard this on the side, had a look of embarrassment on his face. After hearing that an acre of oyster fields could be sold for 300 yuan.

Zhu Xiuhua said shamelessly:

"Duoyu, it was my sister-in-law's fault just now. Let me apologize to you. Can you give me ten acres of oyster fields?"

 “No.” Li Duoyu refused on the spot.

  "Why not."   Zhu Xiuhua looked confused.

Li Duoyu sighed:

"Second sister-in-law, if you make such a fuss, the whole village will know about it now. If I give it to you for one hundred and eighty yuan, Shuguang and Third Uncle will also ask me for it. When the time comes, it will be hard for me to refuse. ah."

“Can they be the same as us? How about we get closer?”

 “I think they’re pretty much the same.”

The second sister-in-law said anxiously: "How much do you have to pay now before you are willing to contract it to me?"

 “Same as everyone else, two hundred and three.”

Zhu Xiuhua said angrily: "Li Duoyu, do you still recognize me as your sister-in-law? How could you do this?"

At this time, a gust of cold wind blew by, and Li Duoyu, who was still wearing a pair of underpants, suddenly started shivering and hurriedly said to everyone:

“I won’t be in a hurry to contract the oysters. Let’s go back first.”

 After saying that, Li Duoyu closed the door.

 In the room, Zhou Xiaoying, who was knitting a sweater, asked: "Is it too much for you to treat your second sister-in-law like this? If you really can't do it, you might as well contract a few acres to her."

“Do you know why the second sister-in-law wanted to contract ten acres in one breath just now?”

 Zhou Xiaoying shook her head.

“Believe me, the second sister-in-law definitely doesn’t intend to raise it. She just wants to make a profit. After getting the oyster field, she will definitely find a way to subcontract it to others.”

 Zhou Xiaoying frowned and said:

 “You are not the roundworm in her belly, how do you know?”

Li Duoyu said hehely: "Don't I know who the second sister-in-law is?"

Zhou Xiaoying looked at the proud Li Duoyu and couldn't help asking: "It seems that you know the second sister-in-law better than you do me."

 Li Duoyu quickly shook his head.

"How is it possible? We need to have a deeper understanding. It's completely different from how we treat my second sister-in-law, okay?"

Zhou Xiaoying frowned. She always felt that Li Duoyu's words were a bit strange. After she figured it out, her face turned red instantly.

 “How did you learn so many nonsense words?”

“Xiaoying, have you had any breast congestion in the past two days?”

"there is none left."

Li Duoyu said seriously: "You have to be careful. Some blockages need to be discovered in advance to nip them in the bud. Otherwise, if there is a blockage, it will be too late."

Zhou Xiaoying, who was knitting a sweater, was a little speechless. Naturally, she knew what Li Duoyu wanted to do: "My sweater is almost ready. Can you wait until I finish knitting?"

"how much longer?"

 Zhou Xiaoying thought carefully: "It will probably take more than two thousand injections."

“That’s too long, I’d better hurry up, I don’t need as many needles as you.”

Zhou Xiaoying, who couldn't resist, had no choice.

Not long after, the two of them were lying on the bed covered in sweat.

Li Duoyu told Zhou Xiaoying about Ou Ge’s affairs, including the child’s desire to recognize his godfather and his plan to live on an island for a period of time.

Zhou Xiaoying didn’t have much resistance.

"You can decide for yourself on this kind of thing. There is no need to ask me. However, you'd better ask my mother-in-law about this kind of thing."

 “Mom, you shouldn’t be sleeping yet.”

“Don’t think about it, I’m sure I’m still awake after being tormented like this by my second sister-in-law.”

 “Then I’ll go find her.”

 “Why are you in such a hurry? I’ll ask you tomorrow.”

"I'm afraid that if I ask tomorrow, I'll ask Mazu, and maybe I'll win a cup."

 Zhou Xiaoying smiled and said: "It's possible."

 After Li Duoyu knocked on his parents' door, he directly told the story about Brother Ou.

 Chen Huiying did not refuse, but she had a condition, that is, if Miaomiao, the child in Brother Ou's family, is ill, she cannot go to their house to play with little Tutu.

These days, the old people in the village call the disease of chronic coughing tuberculosis, which is quite taboo.

Li Duoyu also felt that Aniang was justified in worrying.

 After discussion.

Li Duoyu asked Xiaoying to write a letter that night and put it in the mailbox at the dock overnight.

He doesn't have to be so concerned about this matter, but Brother Ou is the first person to show kindness to him since he came to this world.

 Throw in peaches and repay with plums.

Every age has its good and bad sides, but a passionate person like Ou Ge always makes people feel comfortable.
