1463 Will Not Go There For Now
“What’s so impossible about that! They don’t care about this bit of money at all. They have such a big factory now. Do they still care about the money for these seeds?” Zhao Fei said.
“You! I already told you to endure it until summer. Why didn’t you listen to me?” Zhao Kuo said as he pointed at Zhao Liu.
Summer? Why did he have to endure until summer? Could it be that these people had other plans which they never mentioned? Summertime was when the seeds were ripe for harvest!
Zhao Liu sat sulking on the brick bed and did not say anything. How could this be something that he could endure? He had been a bachelor for almost half his life. It was not easy for him to find a woman he liked, so how could he let her go?
He initially thought that Li Gui would be a burden since she had to bring up so many children. However, he recently realized that the more he looked at Li Gui, the more he found her good-looking. She was even more beautiful than the most beautiful girl in their village! Furthermore, she knew how to make money and could also run a household. Which man could be able to hold back?
He had not done anything and just wandered outside the factory to try his luck. He just wanted to see if he could run into Li Gui by chance and did not expect his movements to be discovered.
“It’s not my fault…” Zhao Liu muttered.
“If it’s not your fault, then is it my fault? Give me a straight answer. Do you still want this business or not? If you don’t, I’ll go back and tell Qiao Mei now and ask her to immediately arrange for someone to remove all the seeds! Let’s not do it anymore!” Zhao Fei said angrily.
“Xiao Fei! What nonsense are you talking about! This is such a good opportunity for our village. How can we not want it!” Zhao Kuo said.
“Then it all depends on whether my uncle can control himself!” After saying that, Zhao Fei sat down on the brick bed and stared at Zhao Liu without saying anything. He had to give Qiao Mei an explanation today, otherwise his reputation would be tarnished! Then who would still be willing to do business with him!
“I just went there to take a look. I didn’t do anything. Do they want to beat me to death for that?” Zhao Liu said stubbornly.
“What do you know! They say that the next time they find you near the factory or near their house, they’ll get someone to break your legs and throw you into jail. You can wait for death there!” Zhao Fei said.
The fact was that Qiao Mei did not say any of this. Zhao Fei was just trying to scare Zhao Liu since he was a timid person and was most afraid of getting killed. Zhao Fei wanted to plant this idea into Zhao Liu’s head to scare him off and stop him from harassing Li Gui.
“This is a society governed by law! Don’t tell me they can just do whatever they want!” Zhao Liu said.
“Have you forgotten what I told you before? Someone had hurt Li Gui’s child in the past and he’s still in jail! He won’t be able to come out for decades! Also, the person who bullied them in the village was also sentenced to jail for more than 10 years. There were other people who had to move their entire family out of the capital!” Zhao Fei roared angrily.
What did the Zhao family have? The Zhao family were farmers for generations and very few people in the family even knew how to read. There was no capable person in the family. The Zhao family were like ants to Qiao Mei and it would be easy for her to stomp them to death. Qiao Mei did not even need to do anything and could just let the wind blow them away.
“Didn’t those people move out of the capital to have a better life? Don’t lie to me.” Zhao Liu still did not believe what Zhao Fei said.
Zhao Fei stood up furiously and said, “If you don’t believe me, go and check it out for yourself. Do you think going to the mountains means getting rich? Then why don’t you exchange places with them and go to the mountains to get rich! You can go to prison and enjoy life!”
“What nonsense are you spouting!” Zhao Kuo said with a frown.
“There’s no need to say anything! I see that you still won’t admit your mistake! Then I’ll go and look for Qiao Mei now!” After saying that, Zhao Fei was about to walk out when Zhao Liu hurriedly blocked his way.
“We’re a family. Let’s talk things out!” Zhao Liu said with a grin.
The other children in the family could no longer sell seeds together with Zhao Fei now. They could only make money from planting the seeds which Qiao Mei gave them. If even this business was gone, their family would not be able to survive for long. There were so many mouths to feed.
At first, when they heard Zhao Fei talk about these stories, they found it entertaining. However, now that they were the protagonists themselves, it was a little scary.
“Um… I promise you that I won’t go there for the time being,” Zhao Liu stammered.
“What do you mean by for the time being! You cannot go there at all!” Zhao Fei said sternly.
