"Alas..." Mother Xue couldn't help but whisper: "Stop talking about it, I want to cry when I mention it."
The old man leaned down and secretly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
"I'm old and can't bear this kind of thing. Please ask a doctor to take a look and make sure nothing goes wrong."
Xue Ling quickly winked at Cheng Tianyuan and asked him to change the topic to a lighter topic.
Cheng Tianyuan received the order from his wife and took action immediately.
"Hey! I received a call from Sister-in-law Jinhua earlier, saying that she had something to discuss with you. Her tone seemed a little strange. I was on the road at the time and it was not easy to chat for too long. I told her to let you know later.
Call back."
Xue Ling said "Oh?" and couldn't help but ask: "Is there something going on at the pig farm?"
The business of the pig farm has been very stable in the past few years. Although Xue Ling's shares have been diluted, they still account for about 40%.
In the past, pigs were sold to calculate the money, but now the payment is fixed every quarter. In the past few years, accountants and workers were hired to help, and every quarter they would send some forms and a large or small remittance.
"It should be." Cheng Tianyuan urged: "It's only after nine o'clock now. The weather over there is hotter than here, so it shouldn't be that early to go to bed. You can call me and have a look."
Xue Ling took out her mobile phone and searched for the number of "Sister Jinhua".
Father Xue on the side asked curiously: "Ayuan, is the pig farm still profitable?"
"It's pretty good." Cheng Tianyuan explained: "The scale later tripled. A dam and a reservoir were built in the upper reaches of the river next to us. The water in the lower reaches is more low-lying, and a lot of useless swamps are exposed along the river. Jin
Sister Hua hired people to grow pig vegetables on the fertile soil, and with some feed supplements, the pig farm's food was stable and economical. Now there is a fixed slaughterhouse there, and the buyers who come to ask for pigs are also stable. After raising them for more than ten years,
It’s experienced and stable.”
"How's the income?" Xue's mother asked.
Cheng Tianyuan thought for a while and replied: "It should be over one million a year."
"Why does it seem like it's still not as good as before?" Liu Yinghu asked: "I remember it was very good before! Why is it reduced now?"
Cheng Tianyuan replied: "Liu Xiaoyu and his wife are old and can no longer do so much work. Their two daughters are married and they have two sons. However, the sons have their own workplaces and cannot go to the pig farm to help. These years,
We rely on hired workers. Today’s workers’ wages are not low. In addition, there are many workers in pig farms, and there are also some who grow vegetables. The wages of these workers alone are already not low.”
Xue Ling looked at the phone and whispered: "The main reason is that the environment and equipment of the pig farm have not been updated in the past few years. The equipment is low, and the labor cost will be high. Nowadays, labor is getting more expensive year by year, and the benefits will definitely decrease in the long run.
weaken."
At this time, the call was connected.
Xue Ling said "hello" twice, then smiled and said hello.
"Sister Jinhua, long time no see! I heard A Yuan just said that you would see me this afternoon. Do you have anything to discuss with me?"
——Yes, yes! Are you okay? We met briefly at the end of last year. Later, we, the old couple, ran to the development zone, only to find that you had already left! We missed it just like that!
"Several children are at an active age. After staying there for a few days, they felt bored and clamored to go home. In addition, the second child needed training, and the coach was pressing hard," Xue Ling explained: "I had no choice but to book in advance.
Tickets back.”
——We need to stay longer next time so that we can catch up on old times. My wife and I are old and have hard bones. We feel sore here and there all day long, so we don’t dare to take a long-distance bus. I heard that airplanes are too dangerous.
.The imperial capital is so far away, I don’t dare to go!
Xue Ling smiled lowly: "We will meet again next time. I had a few meals with Chen Lan during the Chinese New Year. We haven't seen each other for several years, and we have endless things to say every time we get together. Sister-in-law, I heard big brother Liao Zongnan say, you guys
The shop in Tianming Building has been sold, right?"
——Oh? Yes. This matter... Oh! It's a long story! I decided to sell it two months ago, and it was introduced by Boss Liao. He said that the place over there is good, and someone came as soon as he said it was for sale.
Q. The sale went very smoothly and was completed within half a month.
Xue Ling frowned slightly and asked, "Why do you suddenly want to sell that shop? Such a good place is hard to come by now!"
——We all know this too. Lao Liu was so distressed at home that he couldn't sleep for several nights and sighed. But there was really nothing he could do! Lao Liu also felt sorry for you, saying that you gave him the shop, that's all
I sold it, but I didn’t dare to let you know, for fear that you would be disappointed and sad when you found out.
Xue Ling smiled bitterly: "I'm just a little worried about your financial situation. Except for the shops over there that I gave to you and Liao Zongnan's family, the rest are my own. I don't lack these two shops, but I'm just worried about why you are suddenly willing to sell them.
Did you encounter any trouble? Brother Liao said that the problem is not big and has been solved, so I can’t continue to ask."
——Lao Liu and I are both honest people. We only know how to work and don't mess around with anything else. If it were us, there would definitely be no big trouble. Ling Ling, I'm not afraid that you will laugh at the joke, so just tell the truth.
Sigh... It's all because of my eldest son's misfortune! He didn't go to work properly and followed other people's methods of stock trading. He lost a lot of money and his wallet was empty, so he came to Lao Liu for money. Lao Liu realized something was wrong.
When they got married, we had already lost more than two million yuan. When they got married, we paid for them to buy a villa, which was very expensive. Later, when the second brother got married, he said that if the eldest brother had a villa, they must have it too. We could only
He also spent money to buy them, so he couldn't be partial. Add in the money to marry his daughter-in-law, the money to buy a house and a car, and there wasn't much left. He suddenly lost more than two million, plus what he borrowed from others, it added up.
A total of four million! It made Lao Liu and I faint at once...
Xue Ling frowned and whispered: "Why did you lose so much? What happened next? I had to sell the store in Imperial Capital to pay off his debt?"
——Yes! Lao Liu and I spent a lot of money around us. Including what we borrowed from him before, there is really not much left. The second son and daughter-in-law are not worried either. They say there are two shops.
They got half of the money, so they could only sell the eldest one. But the buyer said that they would only pay one-time payment if they bought it together, otherwise they wouldn't buy it. We were in a hurry to find money to pay off the debt, and there was no way we could wait! We had to coax the second eldest and the second.
The couple agreed to sell them together and give half of the money to them. Then they pieced it all together and finally helped the old man pay off the debt. The second daughter-in-law made a fuss and said that we favored the old man and could not go on like this and let us divide the family. I
They explained that you have 40% of the shares in the pig farm, my brother's family has 30%, and our family only has 30%. The second daughter-in-law said that she would get a share of the money from the sale, so it must be fair. The eldest daughter-in-law also said the same thing, wait.
I need a little money to finance my business, otherwise I won’t be able to survive. There has been constant trouble in the past two months, and Lao Liu and I have had headaches and insomnia all day long, so we had no choice but to agree.
Xue Ling listened calmly and said "hmm" in a low voice.
"Then what do your brother's family say? Are they willing?"
——My brother and sister-in-law are getting older and can no longer work. My nieces and nephews are all over there in the provincial capital. One is married to a seafood shop owner, and the other works in a bank. They are not rich, but they are living a good life.
Both are good. My brother and sister-in-law were reluctant at first, but after some persuasion from Old Liu, they finally agreed. Lingling...can you agree?
