Rebirth 1989: My Unlucky Career

Chapter 119 It depends on what you plant

Hearing this voice, everyone looked over.

The person speaking was a dark-skinned man who looked like a rural man who had worked hard all year round.

Village Chief Ma was furious when he heard this:

"Li Youtian, what did you say! How did you talk to Mr. Zhao?!"

It turned out that this man's name was Li Youtian, and he sounded like a real farmer.

Li Youtian sneered and said:

"I'm telling the truth. He just doesn't have backache when he stands and talks!"

Hearing such words, Zhao Zhuo was not angry, but looked at Li Youtian with a calm face and asked:

"Then I want to ask you, why do you say that?"

When Li Youtian saw that Zhao Zhuo was not angry because of his words, he couldn't help but subconsciously froze, and then said:

“You just said that the education of the next generation is important, why don’t I know it is important?!

The problem is that my family only lives on three acres of land. If the crops are not taken care of well, our whole family will go hungry.

And in order to make some money, I have to walk more than ten kilometers every day to move bricks to the brick factory in the next town. The child’s mother is disabled and cannot work!

Then let me ask you, if my children are not farming at home, our whole family will have nothing to eat, how many potatoes will education be worth?!"

Hearing Li Youtian's words, Village Chief Ma's originally angry expression could not help but soften a little, and then sighed helplessly.

Li Youtian's family is a well-known poor household in Huaping Village. The family of three lives on a few acres of land. Li Youtian's wife was paralyzed in bed due to a car accident.

In order to make money for his wife's medical treatment, Li Youtian had no choice but to move bricks to make money, and the family's three acres of land could only be cultivated by his son Li Dabao.

After hearing Li Youtian's words, Zhao Zhuo was silent for a long time.

The example of Li Youtian is a true portrayal and microcosm of countless people in poverty-stricken areas.

Sometimes, when survival itself is something that requires hard work, other things can only be put aside.

After Li Youtian finished speaking, he felt the silence around him.

After calming down, he also felt a little regretful, and said to Zhao Zhuo apologetically:

"Mr. Zhao, I know you traveled thousands of miles to build a school here for the benefit of our village.

I regret here. I regret that my eldest son was born in the wrong fetus and came to our home.

Even if your school is built, it won't have anything to do with my children!"

As he said this, a man in his thirties couldn't help crying.

Seeing Li Youtian crying bitterly, Zhao Zhuo sighed lightly and then said:

"But, what if I say there is a way for you to make money to treat your wife, and your son can still have time to go to school?"

Hearing this, Li Youtian was stunned and subconsciously stopped crying:

"Zhao...Mr. Zhao, what did you say???"

Li Youtian asked in disbelief.

Zhao Zhuo repeated slowly:

"I said, I have a way for you to make money to treat your illness and your children can go to school."

Li Youtian asked subconsciously:

"Where did I get the money?"

Indeed, if he did not work in the brick factory, he would not make any money.

And Zhao Zhuo calmly spit out two words:

"Farming."

Hearing these two words, the villagers who had been silent for a while suddenly couldn't help laughing.

Li Youtian also shook his head helplessly:

"Mr. Zhao, I know you have good intentions.

But, even if I plant all three acres of land at home with potatoes, the money from selling them will not be enough!"

Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo looked at Li Youtian, looked around, and then said loudly:

"The village chief gathered everyone here to talk about this matter!

I have a way for everyone to get rich just by farming!"

After hearing this, everyone was stunned, and then subconsciously showed scornful expressions, obviously they didn't believe this.

Zhao Zhuo was not surprised at all. He cleared his throat and continued:

"I know that everyone will not believe it when they hear this."

After hearing this, someone answered:

"Of course, I've never heard that farming can make you rich!"

Zhao Zhuo took advantage of the situation and asked:

"Then let me ask you, what do you grow in your land?"

The man replied without thinking:

"Of course it's potatoes. The land we grow here doesn't grow any other kind of food!"

Zhao Zhuo smiled and nodded, then continued:

"Then if I were to say that if you plant something else and the money you earn from one acre of land can feed your family a year's worth of rice, will you plant it?"

The man also answered without thinking:

"Then I will definitely grow it! But the problem is, there is no such thing!"

Seeing this, Zhao Zhuo raised his voice again and said loudly:

"This kind of thing really does exist, and every household has it!"

With that said, Zhao Zhuo took out a Panax notoginseng that he had just received from Teacher Qi from his pocket.

After seeing clearly what Zhao Zhuo was holding, everyone burst into laughter.

"Isn't this Sanqi?"

"It's just a common Chinese medicine. You still want to make a fortune from it?"

"Oh, what did I think it was? He was so excited!"

Everyone looked disappointed and seemed not to be interested in what Zhao Zhuo said at all.

Zhao Zhuo had already guessed that such a scene would happen after continuously persuading Teacher Qi and Village Chief Ma.

Zhao Zhuo was not panicked at all, but said calmly:

"I know you won't believe me if I tell you. So, it's useless to say more. If any of you have Panax notoginseng at home, you can take them all out. I will buy them at the price of ten yuan per catty, right here!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned.

No one expected that Zhao Zhuo was really playing!

"Mr. Zhao, are you sure?"

Someone subconsciously questioned.

Hearing this, Village Chief Ma said with a look of disgust:

"Hey, what are you talking about? Mr. Zhao spits and nails, he can definitely do what he says!"

After getting the confirmation, everyone no longer bothered to discuss or question, and all rushed home to get Sanqi.

In the blink of an eye, not a single villager was left at the scene, and they all went home!

Sun Xiaoyu frowned, looked at Zhao Zhuo and asked:

"Are you sure you can really get a good price after buying Sanqi?

If the price of Sanqi is not as exaggerated as you said, then you will have to pay for it!"

Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo smiled slightly and said firmly:

"Don't worry, maybe the market price in Pengcheng is not that high, but there will definitely be such a price in Fengtian!"

The biggest reason why Zhao Zhuo said this is that every time he went to buy Panax notoginseng powder for Zhao's mother, it was expensive and often out of stock!

According to the pharmacy owner:

"As long as you can get Panax notoginseng powder, I will give you as much as you want!"
