Yang Zhiyi and Yang Zhili were really anxious. They didn't know what their mother was thinking.
Why would she object to such a good thing and still make such an accusation? It's like picking a thorn in her bones.
They all calculated the account again for her: "We don't need to raise it. The adult ducks will lay eggs when they are brought in. Each egg costs 4 cents, which is twice as expensive as the ones sold outside. If they are fattened, they will give 50 cents for those over 5 pounds."
One kilogram is additionally subsidized.”
Chen Yuling said angrily: "You only see that duck eggs are valuable, don't you see that raising ducks also requires food? Stop talking, don't raise them! Otherwise, you can give Zhou Yan a small gift, and we won't pay the deposit, and we won't do it then.
Is it okay to retreat? He won’t lose anyway.”
Yang Zhili said angrily: "If you want to say it, you have to say it yourself. If you don't raise it, you won't get enough ducks anyway."
But Zhao Yingchun wanted to raise one, so she whispered to Yang Zhiyi in the house: "I don't think it's because of the deposit, but because the duck was provided by Liang Xiaonan. No matter who provided it, the town entrusted Liang Xiaonan to get the duck now.
It’s also a contract signed by the town leaders, so we can’t lose anything.”
Yang Zhiyi told her to stop talking. Her mother was stubborn and it would be useless if she didn't say "support".
Zhao Yingchun said: "Go and find our dad as soon as possible. If it's too late, you won't be able to raise him anymore."
Yang Zhiyi went out and met his elder brother Yang Zhiren, and his sister-in-law Sun Xiu and his wife came back from outside.
Yang Zhiyi greeted Sun Xiu, but before they spoke, Sun Xiu said unhappily: "People in the whole town are rushing to raise ducks, and our family doesn't raise any!"
"Let's go talk to Dad? You can't just look at the money and not make it." Yang Zhiyi said to his brother.
"In the first month of the first month, Xiaoli took a 10-yuan book and sold the strawberries in Liang Xiaonan's yard, and made more than 300 yuan a week. Ergouzi Wangxi and the others made money by selling fish, and this time Ergouzi did it once
Just sign up to raise 100 ducks. Every month, the duck eggs alone can be sold for 120 yuan. Before winter, the duck eggs can be sold for more than 800 yuan. If they are raised to more than 10 kilograms, the income will be hundreds of yuan..."
On his side, Sun Xiu was a better person than him. The more they talked, the more anxious they became. They hurriedly went to the fields to find Yang Shouye and asked him to tell Chen Yuling and agree to them raising ducks.
Yang Shouye doesn't care about the chores at home, and it's okay to listen to his old wife when it comes to raising chickens and ducks...
In the end, Yang Shouye's family didn't catch the ducks. Yang Zhili originally went to catch the ducks, but he caught his mother and refused to feed them. What did he do after catching them?
He secretly found Li Hongmei and asked her if she had caught ducks and raised them?
Li Hongmei's family is so poor that they can't even raise the deposit for 10 ducks.
Yang Zhili gave her 100 yuan and asked her to catch ducks, but Li Hongmei didn't want it.
Yang Zhili said you take it, but if you don’t take it, my mother will go there, and by then I won’t be able to save a penny.
Li Hongmei said hesitantly: "You...didn't the matchmaker tell you about Chen Ying from Xiaoyun Town?"
Yang Zhili said: "My mother has urged me many times, but I have not agreed at all. Anyway, there is no blind date yet."
Li Hongmei shed tears and said: "Why are you coaxing me? I saw Chen Ying's mother and aunt came to your house to see each other, and they also went to the factory to see you. What's the point of not agreeing? I'm old too.
Mom asked someone to kiss me..."
Yang Zhili became anxious when he heard this: "How can you say we are kissing each other? What should I do? What should I do if you tell others?"
Li Hongmei cried and said: "You can't make the decision, so what do we mean by this?"
Yang Zhili's mind was buzzing. He had not forgotten the main purpose of coming, so he gave her the money: "Hurry up and get the duck. I will go home immediately and explain it to my mother."
Li Hongmei was scared again: "You must not quarrel with your mother, otherwise we will not be able to be together!"
"Don't worry, even if I quarrel with her, I will never implicate you."
Li Hongmei took 100 yuan to pick up the duck, and happened to meet Zhou Yan on the way. Even though adults said Zhou Yan was a lazy man, Zhou Yan was tickled by both young and old girls.
This man is good-looking, he looks smiling, but he has an air of being unattainable. He walks without squinting, and he doesn’t talk at all to the older girls and younger wives. He is usually three meters away from the girls, so he doesn’t harm anyone.
reputation, and don’t cause trouble for yourself.
By chance, Li Hongmei called Zhou Yan.
"Zhou Yan, I'm going to pick up 10 ducks later. Yang Zhili lent me the money, but no one can know...can I say you lent me the money?"
Zhou Yan looked at this girl. He was not familiar with her, but he also knew that she was the daughter of Mr. Li's family. He didn't know the number. What did she mean? She was talking to Yang Zhili in private?
You dare not say anything about borrowing money from Yang Zhili, but you want to borrow money from me?
"Why do you want to borrow my money?" Zhou Yan asked three meters away from her.
"Because his mother doesn't agree... Your grandparents don't care at home. No one dares to mess with you, so I'll lend you money. No one dares to gossip!" Li Hongmei pleaded, "I want to raise ducks, but if I don't go, I won't!
"
Zhou Yan was not polite at all when he spoke, saying: "If you want to raise ducks, go get them. Who cares where you get the money? You are afraid of my aunt, you should tell Yang Zhili, don't lend money if you are not responsible."
I'm engaged, can I borrow money from you? Can I borrow it?"
After walking a few meters away, he turned around and said, "I'm still afraid that Liang Xiaonan will be angry! It's none of my business in this world? I only have Liang Xiaonan in my heart."
Seeing him striding away, Li Hongmei suddenly felt that she and Yang Zhili should no longer interact!
I heard that Zhou Yan and Liang Xiaonan only met a few times, so they immediately asked a matchmaker to propose marriage. The ceremony was unparalleled in the entire county and province.
If Yang Zhili had Zhou Yan's determination, the two of them wouldn't have been dragging their feet for three or four years with no result. He is still controlled by his mother, begging her to accept him, and Chen Yuling doesn't like her family at all. Obviously
Will never agree.
Li Hongmei walked back slowly. When she passed outside the town government compound, she looked at the long queue to get the ducks. There was no one from Yang Zhili's family in it.
Chen Yuling did not agree to raise ducks. His eldest and second brothers both wanted to raise ducks, but it was useless. There was no separation. All the money was in Chen Yuling's hands. Yang Zhili could only help Liang Xiaonan sell strawberries, secretly hide some, and pick mulberry leaves at the silkworm factory.
Most of Lasang Ye's monthly salary goes to Chen Yuling.
If she marries Yang Zhili, Chen Yuling already despises her family, and will not try to kill her...
Yang Zhili took the time to look around several times but didn't see Li Hongmei go to get the ducks. He also didn't see any ducks in her yard.
He was anxious, looking for Li Hongmei everywhere, and finally saw her on the edge of the field. He did not dare to get very close, so he asked from a distance on the side of the road: "Why don't you go catch the ducks? They are almost gone!"
Li Hongmei had already cried, and her eyes were still red and swollen, but she was very determined.
He returned the 100 yuan to him and said seriously: "I don't want to raise ducks anymore. I'll give this money back to you. Yang Zhili, let's not interact with each other in the future, so as not to ruin each other's reputation. Our two families are not suitable, and I don't
I don’t want to associate with you anymore.”
Yang Zhili was shocked and said, "You want to end our friendship?"
"Yes, it's not interesting for us to be together like this. Besides, your family has already said marriage to you, so I have to think about myself."
Yang Zhili said: "I will go find my mother and immediately find a matchmaker to go to your house to propose marriage."
