Farming Space Makes Me Rich

Chapter 227: Another Big Order!

Translator: Lonelytree

While people were visiting the strawberry fields and Xiao Lingyu was basking in the sun, Taoyuan Village was bustling with activities too.

“The guests going to Zhengyang’s field to pick strawberries have to pay money to enter the shed! They are charging 100 RMB per adult and 50 RMB per child. It’s early in the morning, but there are already batches of guests!”

“I heard from Qiuying that the first 100 guests to visit will get to enter for free. However, if they want to bring the strawberries out, they have to pay. It’s 45 RMB per catty!”

“45 per catty? How can they be so expensive? When we went to the fruit stores in town, at most strawberries would be sold at 30 RMB per catty.”

“That is not all. I heard from the villagers that she is selling the strawberries at her shop for 60 RMB per catty. It is why they came here in person to pick the strawberries. It is cheaper.” Chen Chunxiu said with envy.

“I heard the people say that 60 RMB is already a discounted price!” Zeng Zhangxiu echoed.

“Oh my God!” The other villagers found it unbelievable. “These strawberries are too expensive!”

“And yet, people are crowding over like the things are free. They charge people for going in to pick strawberries. It’s barely noon, and there are already so many people. I wonder how much they’ll earn in a day.”

“I see more than a hundred people. If everyone is charged 100 RMB, the daily income will be more than ten thousand. Plus, the customers are all leaving with bags of strawberries.”

“If this continues, the Xiao family will be rich. They will earn hundreds of thousands a month.”

“When they were selling vegetables, they were already earning thousands per day. It’s been about a month already. They must have already earned hundreds of thousands.” The person was jealous.

When Xiao Lingyu first opened her shop, the villagers didn’t know about her high asking price. But as time passed and more people came to Taoyuan Village to buy vegetables, the villagers started to find out the truth. Someone calculated and instantly realized Xiao Lingyu had a daily income of at least 5000 RMB. From there, one could easily determine how much was her monthly income.

This really made everyone in the village envious.

Before they got over that shock, there was now this strawberry craze. Many people arrived with their children to give money to Xiao Zhengyang’s family.

“Ever since the Little Cattle King arrived at their place, their luck has soared.”

“Why do you think Xiao Lingyu is so lucky? Why was she the one who stumbled across the Little Cattle King and saved its mother?”

This group of people’s tone was filled with envy and jealousy.

Another group was also discussing Xiao Lingyu’s family, and their tone was filled with hatred and resentment.

“Xiao Lingyu’s expensive strawberries are selling so well. If she sold all six Mu of land, she’d be a millionaire!” Zhang Chunjiao smiled. “Haha. What did I say earlier? I told you all to plant strawberries with Xiao Lingyu, but no one wanted to listen to me.”

“We did listen to you.” Zhang Xiaolan, who was on good terms with Zhang Chunjiao, said with some resentment, “It was Xiao Lingyu who didn’t let us plant strawberries.”

Liu Changnu nodded and said, “That’s right. If we plant strawberries, she won’t let us pick the cow dung. She also didn’t give us any strawberry seedlings. How are we going to plant strawberries?”

Zhang Chunjiao rolled her eyes and said, “Hehe, that’s why I look down on Xiao Zhengyang’s family. They can do good for everyone, but they are so stingy. How can they be so selfish, am I right?”

“You’re right!” The other two nodded in agreement.

“If Xiao Lingyu gave you some of the strawberry seedlings, you’d be earning big money now.” Zhang Chunjiao added, “I heard that the yield of a Mu of land is at least 5,000 to 6,000 catties. With your 40 Fen of Land, you could produce at least 1,000 to 2,000 catties. If you were selling them like Xiao Lingyu at 45 RMB per catty, you would have earned at least 50,000 to 60,000 RMB.

“However, we were coerced to rent her our land for cheap. She used our land to earn riches for herself. How is that fair for us?”

It had to be said that Zhang Chunjiao was indeed a person who was very shrewd. Her family didn’t get along with Xiao Zhengyang’s family. She was jealous that Xiao Zhengyang’s family was flourishing. She wished that the strawberries would disappear. She wanted the Xiao Family to suffer.

However, everyone knew that Zhang Chunjiao’s family did not get along with Xiao Zhengyang’s family. If something happened to Xiao Zhengyang’s family now, her family would be the first suspect.

However, that didn’t mean that she couldn’t instigate the others.

These two families had refused to rent their lands to Xiao Lingyu. Zhang Chunjiao persuaded them to grow strawberries on their own, but Xiao Lingyu refused to give them any seedlings. This matter had always been in the minds of the two families.

The fire of hatred only needed a fuse to ignite.

Zhang Chunjiao said indignantly, “Xiao Lingyu must have known that she could grow strawberries and sell them at a high price. She was afraid of others standing in her way of making money, so she had done everything she could to stop the rest of us.”

Zhang Xiaolan and Liu Changnu listened, and their eyes burned with resentment.

Zhang Xiaolan gritted her teeth and said, “I didn’t expect Xiao Lingyu to be such a scheming bitch. She can’t even let others earn some money. She is so hateful.”

Liu Changnu didn’t say anything, but the resentful expression on her face showed that she agreed with Zhang Xiaolan.

Zhang Chunjiao said, “Xiao Lingyu’s way of doing things is not only hateful but also detestable. She is selling her crops in the name of Taoyuan Village. The village belongs to all of us. Who gave her the right to use the village’s name?”

...

After lying in the courtyard for a while, Xiao Lingyu wanted to go to the strawberry field to have a look.

Last night, Zeng Yaozu received an order for 100 catties.

Xiao Lingyu didn’t expect so many people to come to pick strawberries. She had expected many people but not that many! The first 100 free customer slots were used up in an instant.

The others were willing to pay to visit the fields.

When Xiao Xiaohui saw Xiao Lingyu stand up, he immediately asked, “Sis, are you going to the Strawberry Field?”

Xiao Lingyu nodded.

Xiao Xiaohui smiled and said, “Then Sis, I’ll go with you.” He was worried about her eldest cousin’s big belly.

There were many people coming and going, especially in the strawberry field. What if someone accidentally bumped into his eldest cousin?

His eldest cousin had become the most precious member of their family.

When Xiao Lingyu arrived at the greenhouse, her old customers recognized her immediately. They greeted her with a smile, “Hey, Boss, it’s been a long time.”

Xiao Lingyu also smiled and replied, “Hello! Are you guys having fun?”

“Yes!” The customer nodded in satisfaction, “Boss, you’re amazing. You’re already such a wonderful vegetable farmer. But now you’ve done the impossible by growing such delicious strawberries!”

“You’re flattering me.” Xiao Lingyu said humbly, “This was just an accident. I didn’t expect the fruits to grow so well.”

“Haha...” The customer was amused, “An accident? Boss, you’re going to hurt so many people’s hearts.

“In the past, many big farmers in our county wanted to grow strawberries, but they all failed. No one dared to mess with strawberries anymore. It is a losing investment.

“However, you managed to grow such perfect strawberries in an accident!” Mr. Zhang laughed.

Xiao Lingyu, “...” Am I supposed to say that I have a cheat?

“I’m just lucky!” Xiao Lingyu said.

After that, many people came to greet Xiao Lingyu when they saw her.

Auntie Lin came over with her youngest daughter. Beside her was her husband, who had been sticking to her closely these days.

Auntie Lin was a transformed woman. She was no longer the same old tired-looking middle-aged woman. Instead, she was fit and energized. Her hair was set in a fashionable wave. She looked like a charming woman in her thirties.

“Boss Xiao!” Auntie Lin greeted Xiao Lingyu with a smile.

For a moment, Xiao Lingyu did not recognize her at all. She asked in puzzlement, “You are?”

Auntie Lin smiled, “Boss Xiao, I’m Auntie Lin! I once doubted your vegetables, but now I’m your biggest fan!”

“Auntie Lin!” Xiao Lingyu was shocked by the woman’s change. “Auntie Lin, you’ve changed so much!” She had changed from a haggard old woman to a dazzling vixen.

Auntie Lin chuckled. “Yes. But it all started with a change in my mindset.”

The former Auntie Lin had sacrificed everything for her family.?She worked hard to be a good wife and mother, but in the end, she was despised and betrayed by her husband.

When she went to the company to send her husband the lunch box and was chased out by his mistress, she was really furious. Why was she suffering all the hardships, but he had to enjoy all the luxury with another woman? Why did she work so hard for another woman to reap her benefits?

From then on, she started to turn her focus back on herself. She threw her husband out of her mind. He was nothing but a burden for her. She focused on getting fit, eating healthy, and so on...

But then, the burden started to come home obediently. Their relationship changed.

In the past, her husband and children were her whole world. But she had given up on her husband, and her children were old enough to be independent. Therefore, she focused on herself.

But her husband made her his whole world instead. The most obvious change was that he would return home on time for dinner every day. Even if he had to work overtime, he would give her a heads-up.

When did this all change? It was the day she brought the vegetables from Xiao Lingyu.

Women were sentimental creatures. For the sake of giving her children a complete home, Auntie Lin was willing to play along with her husband. However, that didn’t mean acceptance.

Almost half a year had passed. She acted like a harmonious couple with her husband before their children, but there was still a gulf in her heart. The husband and wife still slept in different rooms.

As for when the gulf would close, Auntie Lin did not know.

Lin Tianhui, who was standing at the side, looked at his wife. Pain flashed across his eyes.

However, he was not discouraged. At least, his wife stopped mentioning the divorce. He believed that with sincerity, she would eventually forgive him. And they’d become a loving couple again.

Seeing his wife, Huang Shiwen, who was chatting leisurely with Xiao Lingyu, Lin Tianhui immediately made a decision. He said, “Boss Xiao, have you sold all the strawberries in the field?”

“Who is this?” Xiao Lingyu looked at Lin Tianhui in confusion.

Auntie Lin introduced, “This is the child’s father.”

“Oh, it’s Boss Lin. Nice to meet you!” Xiao Lingyu shook her head and said, “This is my first time planting strawberries. I haven’t found a seller yet.”

“No one has approached you as a wholesaler for your wonderful strawberries?” Lin Tianhui asked in surprise.

Xiao Lingyu just smiled and shook her head, “No!”

Lin Tianhui thought for a moment and said, “Boss Xiao, I want to order 3,000 catties of strawberries from you. I’ll give them as a bonus for my employees!” His company had more than 3,000 employees. 3,000 catties was just right.

“Ah?” Xiao Lingyu did not expect that she would suddenly receive a large order.

“Sure! When will Boss Lin need it? I’ll make some preparations!” Xiao Lingyu said.

Lin Tianhui said, “In three days.”

“Okay!”
