Chapter 1516 Not Giving a Single Cent
"Do you trust me that much? Shouldn't you at least read the contents?" Qiao Mei asked.
"I know that Sister Qiao Mei is a good person and you won't cheat me. Besides, you won't be interested in the little bit that I have. We have worked together for so long and I trust you. If not for those people in my family always coming to disturb you, perhaps we'll still be working together…" Zhao Fei said dejectedly.
"Sure, we can work together again. Help me deal with the matter of the seeds first. If you do it well this time round, I can consider continuing our collaboration. This is really your last chance. You have to grab it tightly with both hands," Qiao Mei said with a smile.
Qiao Mei was still interested in using the land in the Zhao Family Village for one more round of planting. After all, she could not find any place with better soil quality at the moment. Qiao Mei had the ability to change the quality of the soil, but she did not want to do it for the Zhao Family Village.
Once the soil quality was improved, the effect would last for a few years. If those people from the Zhao family had ulterior motives and decided to scam Qiao Mei after that, then she would have wasted all her efforts. She would rather discard her energy than allow those dishonest people from the Zhao Family Village to reap benefits from it.
Zhao Fei said excitedly, "Yes, yes! Don't worry! I'll definitely complete this task very well! You'll definitely be satisfied with the results!"
As Qiao Mei watched Zhao Fei skip away from the factory, she felt that he was feeling too happy too soon. Given Zhao Liu's character, he would not give up until he caused some trouble for Zhao Fei. This matter definitely could not be resolved easily.
After Zhao Fei went out, Zhao Liu invited Zhao Kuo to his house. Instead of calling it an invitation, it would be more accurate to say that Zhao Liu forced Zhao Kuo to do it without asking him if he was willing to go.
"Second Uncle, you have to help us. If Zhao Fei splits from the family, then where are we going to live!" Zhao Liu complained.
"Won't you have money after selling the seeds? Give him some money as payment for the house. This shabby house can't be worth much," Zhao Kuo said.
"Why should I give that little brat money! I have taken care of him and fed him for so many years. In the end, he wants to split from the family and I still have to give him money! Why should I!" Zhao Liu said indignantly.
"We can't give him any money! I need money to get married! Xiao Cui and I have already talked about getting married after we sell the seeds. If we give the money to Zhao Fei, then how am I supposed to get married!" Zhao Kai said aggrievedly.
Zhao Liu had a headache as Zhao Kai kept whining. He picked up a glass beside him and threw it at Zhao Kai as he said, "Useless thing! You only know how to make so much noise every day! There are so many women out there, just find another one. What's so good about Xiao Cui!"
"Then tell me, what other solutions do you have now? All you know is to keep forcing me to make a decision. If you're so capable , then go solve these problems yourself. If you only want to make use of Zhao Fei and don't want to give him any benefits, why will he be willing to stay by your side? You don't handle things properly and now you're making things difficult for me," Zhao Kuo muttered.
Zhao Liu knew that this was all his own fault, but he just did not want to admit it. His family's portion of the seeds added up to about 2,500 pounds, so he was going to make a lot of money from the transaction. Since Zhao Kai wanted money, he would just give it to him. He could not lose sight of the bigger picture for small gains.
Zhao Fei returned to Zhao Liu's house in high spirits. As soon as he entered, he saw everyone frowning and looking upset. He did not need to guess to know that they were worried about the matter of him wanting to split from the family!
"Xiao Fei, you're back. Tell me, how did it go?" Zhao Kuo asked.
"30 cents a pound and she'll come and collect the goods the day after tomorrow," Zhao Fei said calmly.
"So little! Does she think that we're beggars! She sells one pound for so much money but she's only giving us 30 cents! This woman is really too evil!" Zhao Kai said angrily.
Based on the price they wanted, their family could make at least 5,000 dollars! He had been bragging to other people about it for a long time, so the current situation was going to make him look bad.
"That's the price now. If you don't agree, then don't sell your share. I've already informed everyone else and they're all very satisfied with the price," Zhao Fei said.
"Alright, stop arguing. It's already good enough that we can sell the seeds. Zhao Fei, you've worked hard. Go and take a rest in the room next door," Zhao Kuo said.
"I'm not tired. Now that the matter of the seeds is settled, have you already discussed the matter of splitting up?" Zhao Fei asked as he looked at everyone in the room coldly.
