"You said it!"
"I plan to visit the town more often, and then try to get some funds from the town to properly repair our village roads! There have been more than one tourist complaining about how terrible our village roads are!"
"The roads in our village are indeed terrible! But it's really hard to get the town to pay for it!"
Hu Xiaobei knew the town didn't have much money, so getting them to pay was definitely impossible!
Hearing Hu Xiaobei's words, Han Xueyao sighed silently, "I know the town doesn't have much money, but we have to try at least. At the very least, we need to get the town to contribute some gravel or something to pad the road base first!"
"Padding it with gravel won't work, a few heavy rains will wash it away! How about this, I'll pay for the road construction?"
"Go away! This is road construction, not playing house!"
Han Xueyao knew Hu Xiaobei had made some money, but it was absolutely not enough to build roads.
After all, building the road from here to the town was not a small amount!
Seeing Han Xueyao did not believe he had the capability to build roads, Hu Xiaobei rubbed his hands like a little fox, "Auntie, if I can pay to have the road fixed, what reward will you, as the village chief, give me?"
"Of course there will be one! If you can fix the road, I'll agree to one condition from you!"
Han Xueyao responded directly without hesitation!
The reason she agreed so readily was because she knew that Hu Xiaobei, on his own, could not possibly fix the road.
So, whatever conditions she promised now didn't matter, because in the end, they wouldn't need to be fulfilled!
She fell into the pit!
Knowing Han Xueyao had fallen into the pit he had dug, Hu Xiaobei quickly said, "Auntie, you said it! When the time comes, you must not go back on your word, okay?"
"Right! I said it! I absolutely won't go back on my word!"
At this point, she looked carefully at Hu Xiaobei, and after noticing his confidence, she felt slightly anxious, "Xiaobei, do you really have the money to fix the roads? This road probably needs at least a few million!"
Hearing Han Xueyao's question, Hu Xiaobei did not rush to answer, but looked at her and said, "Sister-in-law, I previously struck a partnership agreement with a five-star hotel in our city, guess how much I sell our village vegetables per pound?"
After looking at Hu Xiaobei, Han Xueyao thought for a moment and said, "The hotel purchases in bulk and won't offer a high price, probably about three yuan, maybe even less!"
Han Xueyao knew that a five-star hotel would offer a higher price, but since Hu Xiaobei had entered a long-term partnership with them, the price definitely could not be very high!
Hearing Han Xueyao say the price was three yuan, Hu Xiaobei was completely speechless!
After a while, rubbing his nose, Hu Xiaobei said in a low voice, "Auntie, you're really underestimating our vegetables!"
"It's not underestimating! That's the truth! Going to the market, ordinary vegetable vendors can only offer two yuan. Now, selling for three yuan is already quite good!"
Previously, Han Xueyao had grown vegetables herself, so she knew the market for vegetables was not particularly good currently. Even if the vegetables themselves were good, they would still be heavily bargained!
"This..."
Seeing Hu Xiaobei's mouth twitching vigorously, Han Xueyao whispered, "How much did you sell them for? Was it five yuan?"
"It was this much!"
While speaking, Hu Xiaobei held up a finger!
"Ten yuan? Is this... is this real? Our vegetables, ten yuan per pound?"
She was shocked; Han Xueyao was completely shocked by Hu Xiaobei!
Seeing Han Xueyao's shocked face, Hu Xiaobei rolled his eyes and said, "What are you talking about! It's one hundred!"
Hearing the price Hu Xiaobei mentioned, Han Xueyao was stunned for a few minutes before finally saying, "One hundred? Per pound?"
"Yes! I even think the price is a bit low!"
"This..."
After staring dryly at Hu Xiaobei for a while, Han Xueyao said eagerly, "Xiaobei, you... come over here and pinch me, I want to see if I'm dreaming!"
Hearing Han Xueyao's words, Hu Xiaobei walked over...
Soon, Hu Xiaobei placed his hand on Han Xueyao's delicate skin...
After placing it, Hu Xiaobei gently pinched her chubby cheek. After the pinch, Hu Xiaobei asked softly, "How is it?"
"It doesn't hurt at all, it looks like I really am dreaming!"
Hearing Han Xueyao's words, Hu Xiaobei gave a bitter smile, "Auntie, what are you talking about! It doesn't hurt because I couldn't bear to use force!"
"Then... then... is this real? Really one hundred yuan per pound?"
"This is the contract!"
Knowing that it would be very hard for her to believe, so this time while speaking, Hu Xiaobei took out the contract he had signed with Song Yaling earlier!
As a result, after signing the contract, Han Xueyao took a careful look...
After that, she was utterly shocked!
Because she saw that it indeed read one hundred yuan per jin...
"It's not a dream, it's really not a dream!"
Watching her cute reaction, Hu Xiaobei felt a pang of envy!
The next moment, Hu Xiaobei quickly said, "Auntie, remember what you said! When I have finished repairing the road, you have to agree to one condition of mine!"
"This..."
Han Xueyao hesitated!
Before, she had thought it unlikely that Hu Xiaobei could single-handedly undertake such a major task as road repair, so she had made the bet, but now, knowing that Hu Xiaobei might actually achieve the feat, she really hesitated...
Seeing Han Xueyao's hesitation, Hu Xiaobei knew that if he stayed any longer, she might really change her mind!
Thinking like this, Hu Xiaobei quickly ran off, "Alright, Auntie, I have some other matters, so I'll be going now!"
"You..."
Seeing Hu Xiaobei run off, she stomped her foot in frustration...
"Forget it, if that little rascal really does manage it, he would have done a big favor for the village. Agreeing to one of his conditions wouldn't hurt! I just don't know what condition that little bastard will come up with at that time!"
While saying this, Han Xueyao shyly squinted her eyes...
"To prevent Auntie from changing her mind, I must start repairing the road as soon as possible!"
After leaving Han Xueyao, Hu Xiaobei glanced back and muttered softly to himself when he saw that Han Xueyao was not following him...
...
"All the vegetables are growing extremely well!"
After reaching the back mountain, Hu Xiaobei looked at the lush vegetables and laughed heartily!
"Xiaobei is back! How did the business talk go?"
"Just fine!"
Hearing the inquiries of the women, Hu Xiaobei chuckled and said, "It's settled, someone will come to buy these vegetables tomorrow! As for the price, you'll find out tomorrow! I promise it'll surprise you!"
"Really?"
Hearing Hu Xiaobei's words, they all laughed!
At that moment, they didn't really care about what Hu Xiaobei had said, as they didn't believe these vegetables could achieve an especially high price!
Knowing what they were thinking, Hu Xiaobei wanted to explain a bit, but soon, Hu Xiaobei gave up!
Because Hu Xiaobei knew that by tomorrow, everything would be revealed!
Thinking this way, Hu Xiaobei looked at Guo Meiyu, who was not far away, and walked over to her with yearning eyes!
"Little bastard!"
Seeing Hu Xiaobei walking over, Guo Meiyu shyly bit her lower lip...
"Hi, sister-in-law!"
After capturing the fleeting shyness in Guo Meiyu's eyes, Hu Xiaobei quickly and excitedly spoke up!
"Uh-huh!"
Seeing Guo Meiyu's shy and adorable appearance, Hu Xiaobei silently swallowed his saliva, "Sister-in-law, I have something to talk to you about. Come with me to the mountaintop!"
"You..."
Hearing Hu Xiaobei's request to go up the mountain, Guo Meiyu thought of the romantic ambiguity that had occurred previously on the mountaintop!
Thinking of this, Guo Meiyu knew Hu Xiaobei didn't have any good intentions this time either!
After giving Hu Xiaobei a glance, Guo Meiyu walked over to him and shyly whispered, "Little bastard, it's not convenient for me!"
Hearing this, Hu Xiaobei carefully looked her over, and in that instant, he realized she was indeed experiencing a special period...
Instantly, Hu Xiaobei felt as if a bucket of cold water had been thrown over him...
Previously, Hu Xiaobei had been quite frustrated and had wanted to find an opportunity to share his heart with Guo Meiyu, but now he knew he still had to hold it in!
Seeing Hu Xiaobei suddenly look as droopy as a frost-bitten eggplant, Guo Meiyu felt a bit sorry for him!
The next moment, she bit her lip, grabbed Hu Xiaobei's hand, and said, "Let's go. Aren't we heading to the mountain?"
