The Lucky Wife Reborn In the 90s Era Has A Spatial Ability
Chapter 212 - 212 Chapter 211, Do You Think I’m Poor?212 Chapter 211, Do You Think I’m Poor?
“Mother, we’re a family once we get married. Why are you being so polite? Look at this tomato. It’s already ripe and about to fall off.”
As Meng Xiaoning spoke, she reached out and lightly touched it.
A tomato fell from the branch and fell to the ground. Liu Guihua was also a little hesitant when she saw this.
Xiaoning was right, but…
When Meng Xiaoning saw this, she instructed Li Lei, “Go and find a few baskets. I, father, and mother will pick them first. Go to the small store and make a call to ask Big Sis to come over. In addition, if Big Sis can’t take so many tomatoes, the two of us can go to the market to sell them. Since we have had nothing to do recently, we can just sell them at my mother’s stall.”
Meng Xiaoning had arranged everything properly. Seeing this, Li Lei could only follow Meng Xiaoning’s instructions.
The family quickly got busy.
Li Miao and Li Yong also came over. In just a short while, they had picked a few baskets.
After receiving Li Lei’s call, Li Xu immediately contacted the previous driver.
Coincidentally, the other party had nothing to do today.
It was at the same price as before. After agreeing on a time, Li Xu hung up the phone.
As the new year approached, the number of people who came to buy things had increased significantly. The quantity of food they bought was also higher than before.
They would purchase ten to twenty pounds every time they opened their mouths. If they encountered a big customer, they would buy tens to hundreds of pounds.
Among all the vegetables, the sales of tomatoes were exceptionally fast. These tomatoes could be eaten as fruit, stir-fried, salad, or even soup.
Even so, Li Xu did not dare to ask for more. She had her family send a truck over first.
Now that a large family was living together, there were too many people and eyes. Yuanyuan’s space could no longer be filled with things.
Taking things from inside and taking them out bit by bit would not attract attention. However, if many things had suddenly disappeared into thin air. They would have no way to defend themselves if someone saw it.
She could barely fit a truck full of them in her small shop. In addition, its sale these few days was very high, so she did not have to worry.
The Li family went into action and picked all the slightly riper tomatoes. Some of the less ripe tomatoes could be left. It would not be a problem for them to be put left until after the new year.
One truck was not enough, and there were still more than ten baskets left.
Li Zhiming and Liu Guihua looked a little worried, but Li Yong was not worried at all. “Isn’t tomorrow the big gathering at Qili Village? I’ll borrow Third Uncle’s tractor tomorrow to sell them in the gathering!”
Li Miao hurriedly said, “Second Brother, I’ll go with you!”
Li Yong nodded, then he looked at Li Zhiming. “Dad, let’s not split the money this time. Let’s buy a tractor or a small tricycle! In the future, I’ll personally drive the car and deliver the goods to Big Sis. I can also drive it around and sell it in a small amount. We don’t have to worry about being unable to sell it.”
This idea was not bad, but they had agreed to split the money this time.
Moreover, Xiaoning had just married into the family. Wouldn’t that be too bad?
Liu Guihua subconsciously glanced at Meng Xiaoning. Then, afraid that she would overthink, she quickly averted her gaze.
Having a daughter-in-law meant that one had to worry about their daughter-in-law’s thoughts at all times, especially in a family with two sons. One could not let the daughter-in-law be unhappy. Only when the daughter-in-law was happy would the family be harmonious.
How could Meng Xiaoning not know what the old lady was thinking? “I think what Xiao Yong said makes sense. A car makes it convenient for our family to do anything.”
She was already pleased that the old lady cared about her thoughts. This money was initially earned when she had not married into the family. It had nothing to do with her, whether they split it or not.
Li Yong rubbed his nose uncomfortably.
Meng Xiaoning was a few years younger than him. Now that she was calling him Xiao Yong, he felt a little uncomfortable.
“A truck is only four or five thousand yuan. You can split the rest,” Li Miao chimed in.
Li Miao’s words surprised Meng Xiaoning for a while.
On the way back, Meng Xiaoning asked tentatively, “How much can these two acres of tomatoes be sold for?”
She had never grown these before, so she wasn’t sure. At first, she thought they could only earn one or two thousand yuan. Even if it was one or two thousand yuan, these seven acres of land could earn twenty thousand yuan a year.
The four of them could earn an average of five thousand uan a year, which was considered a high income.
But from what Li Miao said, these two acres of tomatoes, how much would there be left after earning a car’s money?
Li Lei said softly, “I estimate that I can earn five or six thousand yuan!”
He was still conservatively saying that a number of these two acres of tomatoes produced nearly twenty thousand pounds.
Even if it were sold at 40 cents per catty, it would get more than 7,000. After deducting the cost, the profit would be around 5,000 to 6,000.
However, if they were to sell it in small amounts, the price would definitely be more than 40 cents.
In winter, tomatoes could be rare items.
Meng Xiaoning’s eyes were wide open, wondering if she had heard wrong. “How much?”
Li Lei repeated, “After deducting the cost, it would be around 5,000 to 6,000!”
Meng Xiaoning sucked in a breath of cold air. “Are you sure? Are you serious? Do you know what 5,000 to 6,000 is?”
An ordinary person’s annual salary did not reach 5,000 to 6,000!
Just like her, it was only around 300 Yuan a month, it was less than 4,000 Yuan a year!
Li Lei nodded, he pinched his fingers to calculate for Meng Xiaoning. “I estimate that these two acres of land can produce close to 20,000 pounds. A pound sold at 40 cents is more than 7,000 Yuan. Excluding the cost of labor and watering and fertilizing, the profit is about the same as what I said.”
Meng Xiaoning was speechless, “Two acres of land can get so many tomatoes!”
“What do you think? If we don’t make money, why did our whole family come back to work in this shed?” Li Lei said with a smile, “So, you can buy whatever you want. Don’t save money for me. I don’t have money now, but I will get my share of the money next year.”
Meng Xiaoning held Li Lei’s hand and nodded hard. “Now I know. I thought…”
She thought Li Lei was poor!
When they were dating, she had been too embarrassed to ask Li Lei about his income, afraid that Li Lei would think she only thinks about money.
She had always thought that Li Lei had returned from the army and hadn’t found a suitable job for the time being, so he would help the old man farm at home.
She did not expect planting a greenhouse would make so much money.
“What else do you think? Do you think I’m poor? So you thought of ways to save money for me, not even letting me take you to the town?” Li Lei asked with a smile.
Meng Xiaoning could not help but laugh and raised her hand to hit him.
“My wife is really good. She’s smart and beautiful, also thrifty, and able to manage the house. I really picked up a treasure!” Li Lei reached out and put his arm around Meng Xiaoning’s waist.
“Let go, we’re on the street!” Meng Xiaoning reached out to shake Li Lei’s hand awkwardly.
However, Li Lei held her even tighter. “You’re my own wife, what are you afraid of?”
On the other side, it was already past six o’clock when the truck arrived at Li Xu’s shop.
Zhang Kun had gotten off work early that day, so he and Li Xu had been waiting in the shop for a long time.
