After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!



"Then what about my selling price?" Zhao Fei asked.

"The selling price is still the same as before. One cup at 50 cents. The planting seeds will cost two dollars a pound. If you find it acceptable, then we can continue to work together," Qiao Mei said.

Zhao Fei looked at Qiao Mei in shock. Based on these numbers, both he and the other villagers would not be able to earn much money at all. He could only make a profit of 50 cents from selling one pound of seeds. Most of the profits would go to Qiao Mei.

This was clearly a 9:1 split. It did not seem fair.

"Sister Qiao Mei… isn't that too little? This is different from what we agreed on back then," Zhao Fei asked tentatively.

"The planting seeds supplied by my family can produce between 500 pounds and 800 pounds of harvested seeds per pound. If we base our calculations on the minimum harvest of 500 pounds, each family in your village can earn at least an average of 150 dollars a month." Qiao Mei looked at Zhao Fei and continued, "As for you… seeds always sell better than popcorn. If you buy more to sell, you'll be able to maintain your usual income."

The truth was that Qiao Mei could have bought the harvested seeds from Zhao Fei's village at the same price as the harvested seeds from Foshan Village, but she was not in a good mood. She wanted to teach Zhao Fei and the others a lesson and make sure they knew who their "God of Fortune" was.

Zhao Fei still wanted to negotiate further with Qiao Mei, but Qiao Mei said in a straightforward manner, "If you still want to do this business, then bring me the tabulation on the land area from your village tomorrow. There's nothing else to discuss."

Seeing how stubborn Qiao Mei was, Zhao Fei had no choice but to compromise. An income of more than 130 dollars a month was not considered a small amount, so the villagers should still feel satisfied. They currently earned only about 50 dollars a month and the amount even fluctuated from month to month.

After they discussed all the items, the meeting ended. Zhao Fei walked back to the village dejectedly. He went straight to the village chief to discuss this matter and told him about Qiao Mei's request.

"At the very least, everyone will earn more money than before. That's good enough for now. Leave the matter of the tabulation to me," the village chief said with a smile.

As soon as Zhao Fei returned home, he was surrounded by the Zhao family members. Everyone wanted to ask him about the matter of the seeds business.

"Xiao Fei, how was your discussion with Qiao Mei? Is our family still in charge of sales?" Zhao Liu asked.

"Younger brother, did you ask about how much you can get?" Zhao Kai looked at Zhao Fei expectantly.

Everyone's gaze was fixed on Zhao Fei, as if they would not let him into the house unless he explained everything clearly.

"As long as you don't go looking for trouble with their family, they will naturally give the job to us," Zhao Fei said helplessly.

"In that case! It's a done deal!" Wang Meng said excitedly.

During this period of time, she had felt so uneasy. Those other women in the village looked down on her and gossiped behind her back. They even mocked her for being a nouveau riche in front of her. Now that the Zhao family could earn money again, let's see who still dared to criticize her!

Zhao Fei told Zhao Liu and the others the various prices which Qiao Mei had mentioned, but he did not tell them about his selling price. If they were to find out that Zhao Fei was earning several times more than them, they would come up with crooked ideas again.

"The seeds are so expensive! Is Qiao Mei trying to rob us? We have so much land, so we have to buy at least seven pounds of planting seeds! That's 14 dollars! That's too expensive! Didn't you try to negotiate with her? We've worked with her for so long after all. Can't she just give us the seeds for free?" Wang Meng said unhappily.

"It's already good enough that our family is allowed to grow it! If Uncle and Aunt-in-law don't want to take part, you can tell Grandpa Village Chief. He'll remove our family from the list," Zhao Fei said.

Wang Meng was about to say something when Zhao Ming hurriedly pulled her aside and then said, "We'll do what you say. We'll do whatever you want as long as there's money to be made!"

The entire family spoke nicely to Zhao Fei, worried that they would offend him. For once, Zhao Liu behaved like the head of the family. He coughed twice and said, "All of you go back and check on the land area and then hurry to the village entrance to tell the village chief. Don't cause our family to miss out on this opportunity."

Zhao Fei gave them a few simple instructions and then went to the village office to help the village chief with the statistics. After Zhao Fei left, the family members' expressions changed immediately.
