Chapter 1514 I Want to Split From the Family
As soon as Zhao Fei appeared, everyone stared at him. Only Zhao Fei could help them now. This kid was knowledgeable and was the most promising child in the village. If he could not find a solution, then they were doomed.
“Fei, quickly think of a way. What should we do?” Zhao Kuo asked.
“There’s nothing I can do now. I heard that they received 10 tons of seeds from elsewhere.
“However, these seeds can only last the factory for a while. She will still need to buy our seeds eventually,” Zhao Fei said.
“That’s great! As long as she will need the seeds! Then we just need to wait a little longer!” Auntie Zhuang jumped up from the ground and said excitedly.
Zhao Fei shook his head helplessly and said, “If she can get so many seeds from elsewhere, she can continue to get them from other places. She can easily decide to stop selling seeds since she still has other businesses. They don’t care about this bit of money at all. They can do without it, but we can’t!”
When Auntie Zhuang heard this, she could not stop her tears from flowing. Her husband had died early and she still had to take care of her two sons. Her sons were not married yet! She had thought that she could use the money from selling the seeds to find a good wife for her eldest son, but it was all over now!
They had already missed the best timing to grow vegetables. If they sow the seeds, the vegetables would not be able to mature in time at all. When winter arrived, they would not even have any food to eat!
“There’s still a way out, but everyone will make a loss,” Zhao Fei said.
“Make a loss? We won’t do anything that will cause us to suffer a loss!” one of the villagers said angrily.
It was already tough enough that they could not sell the seeds and now they needed to make a loss. This was not a case of a natural disaster, so how could they suffer a loss for no reason!
“Shut your mouth! Let’s hear what Zhao Fei has to say first! Kid, tell us more about the solution!” Zhao Kuo asked anxiously.
“We definitely won’t be able to sell it at the price that was fixed back then, but we can tell them that we’ll accept a lower price. We just have to make sure that we don’t lose money, right? We can’t be too greedy. Let’s just get enough for every family to eat their fill. In this case, they won’t force our village to a dead end. What do you think?” Zhao Fei asked.
There was no better way now, so they could only do as Zhao Fei said. Those who were willing to sell their stock at a reduced price were told to sign off on the letter. This was voluntary and no one was forced to do it. There was a total of 30 tons in the warehouse in their village!
This warehouse was built at the last minute to cheat Qiao Mei of a sum of rental fees. If they could not sell these seeds, then when the rainy season came, the seeds would get moldy and they would not be able to sell them at all.
Zhao Liu came last to sign the letter. After everyone in the village had signed, Zhao Fei did not set off immediately. Instead, he stood there motionlessly.
“Fei, why are you still hesitating? Is there anything wrong? Tell us. We can all help and we’ll listen to you!” Auntie Zhuang said anxiously.
“I don’t have a share of the land in our village. Previously, when I still sold seeds, everyone had also earned money together with me. I have a request. As long as everyone helps me, I’ll go to the factory and talk to them about the seeds in our village,” Zhao Fei said.
“Tell me about it,” Zhao Kuo said.
“I want to split from the family. I want to leave this village with all the things that belong to my father and me. I won’t come back here again. Whatever happens in this village will have nothing to do with me. Even if the village becomes rich in the future, I won’t care about it,” Zhao Fei said firmly.
“You little brat, in your dreams! No way! Our Zhao family has never ever split up before! Unless I die! Otherwise, don’t even think about splitting from the family!” Zhao Liu shouted angrily.
“Then there’s nothing I can do. You can think of a way to look for Director Qiao yourself.” Zhao Fei put down the letter and was about to head home when Auntie Zhuang hurriedly blocked his way.
