Chapter 1517 Accurate Weight
"It's fine if you want to split from the family, but you can't take anything with you and we won't give you any money. If you want to leave, you can leave," Zhao Liu said.
Zhao Fei took a look around the house and then at the people in front of him and smiled mockingly. He knew Zhao Liu well and had never harbored any hope of being able to get back the house. However, he still wanted to take back a part of what used to belong to his father.
"My father had left behind the house, a bicycle and 200 dollars back then. I don't want the money or the bicycle, but I want the house. Since I won't come back here anymore, there's no point for me to keep the house. Give me 130 dollars and I'll take it that I've sold the house to you," Zhao Fei said.
"Don't you think we needed to spend money to bring you up! Didn't we feed you! How dare you ask for the house!" Zhao Liu said furiously.
"That's why I only ask you for 130 dollars. This is already a discounted price given that you're my relative. If you hadn't fed me all these years, it won't be this price," Zhao Fei said fiercely.
"Impossible! Not a single cent!" Zhao Liu said.
Zhao Fei nodded in satisfaction and said, "Alright, then I'll go and look for Qiao Mei now and tell her that we're not selling our seeds. You people can keep those seeds and leave them to rot in the warehouse. Even if I leave here with nothing, my life will still be a hundred times better than yours."
"Dad! That's 750 dollars! Don't be silly. You should know what's more important!" Zhao Kai said agitatedly.
Zhao Liu never dreamed that he would ever have to bow down to Zhao Fei's threat. In the end, he could only reluctantly agree to Zhao Fei's request. He took out 130 dollars from his money box and said, "The village will prepare a written agreement later. Get that Zhuang woman to come over and bear witness now! After that, it's all over! Get it done before I regret it!"
Zhao Fei hurriedly ran out to look for Auntie Zhuang. With Auntie Zhuang and Zhao Kuo as witnesses, Zhao Fei successfully split from the family. He took the photos of his father, his own luggage and the 130 dollars and promptly left.
"Xiao Fei, where are you going to stay after you leave this place?" Auntie Zhuang looked at Zhao Fei worriedly.
"Auntie, don't worry. The capital is so big. How can there be no place for me? I'll find a guest house to stay for a while. Once I buy my own place, I'll invite you and my two younger brothers to come over for a visit," Zhao Fei said with a smile.
"It's so expensive to stay at the guest house! You can stay at my house for the time being," Auntie Zhuang said.
After thinking about it, Zhao Fei felt that this idea was also quite feasible. After all, the matter of the seeds was still not completely settled. It would not be too late for him to leave only after the sales of the seeds were completed. He had to stay and ensure that nothing went wrong.
"Alright then. Thank you, Auntie," Zhao Fei said obediently.
"There's no need to thank me! I like having you around in my house! Come in! I'll slaughter a chicken for dinner tonight! Let's take it as a celebration meal for you leaving that wolf den!" Auntie Zhuang pulled Zhao Fei towards her house.
Zhao Fei only ever felt the warmth of family at Auntie Zhuang's house and he always thought that it was really ironic.
It was soon the day to collect the goods. Qiao Mei could finally take a few days off and go home to have a good rest, so it was Qian'e who went to the Zhao Family Village to inspect the goods. She brought Chi Ze and a few other burly men with her to make sure that she was well protected.
"Sister Qian'e, come and take a look at these goods. The weights are all accurate and the quality is up to standard too," Zhao Fei said.
Chi Ze moved their own weighing scales down from the truck and placed it on the ground to show everyone. Qian'e said, "This is a brand new weighing scale As everyone can see, we have just taken it out of the box. Whatever we weigh, the figure is definitely accurate. I trust you are all agreeable!"
"Yes! We all agree! I've checked it, it's accurate!" Auntie Zhuang shouted.
"Alright! Everyone, retrieve your own bags and then write the weight on top. We'll do a check one by one. If it's heavier than stated, we'll still pay you for it! It's alright if it's lighter than stated! As long as it's within two pounds! If so, we'll pretend not to see it! However, if it's lighter by more than two pounds, we can only pay you for the seeds at a price of 10 cents a pound. Are you agreeable with this arrangement?" Qian'e asked.
This was Qiao Mei's idea. Her goal was to punish Zhao Liu and his family. Back when the family packed their bags of seeds, Zhao Kai had mixed in small stones in order to add a few more pounds.
