“If our shed gets up, perhaps the others will learn from it as well. By then, there will be more sheds. Li Zhiming’s things won’t be able to sell at a price. He definitely doesn’t want to see this scene, right?” Li Danian analyzed it in a decent manner.
The other two nodded.
“He definitely knows that we don’t have any experience right now. Everything we do is learned from him. So he did it on purpose, pretending to be like this. Our seeds have already been planted, and the seedlings have already come out.
“If we really believe his words and don’t continue to pour chemical fertilizer into it, then this vegetable patch will definitely be wasted. Then our seed money and chemical fertilizer money in the early stages will really be wasted!”
Li Danian laughed coldly. “The few of us built this shed with all our money. To be honest, I even borrowed a few hundred yuan from my mother-in-law!” “Hai, who isn’t? In the past, we planted some wheat and corn at home. After a year, not to mention saving money, it’s already good enough that we don’t owe money. I also scraped together this money by borrowing.”
“If this batch of vegetables is really wasted, where will we get the money to plant the next batch? Even if we have money, my wife probably won’t let us plant the next batch. If this greenhouse is wasted, other people naturally won’t dare to do it so easily. When the time comes, their Li family will naturally be the only one in our village.”
Li Danian’s words made the other two people nod thoughtfully.
…..
“Of course, the Li family isn’t afraid. How much is a vegetable worth? If it’s gone, it’s gone. Their family made a lot of money before, so they can naturally afford it. But we’re different. We have to work this vegetable well. I’m still waiting to earn money to pay off my debt!”
“I think so too. I still have two months to collect the cucumbers in my field. When that time comes, I might get my capital back. I can’t listen to Li Zhiming. If I don’t fertilize it, the cucumbers won’t grow and no one will want it even if it was given away for free.”
Li Zhiming naturally didn’t know what these three people were thinking, but when he saw that they were still using bags of fertilizer in the shed, he knew that they obviously didn’t take his words seriously!
To be honest, Li Zhiming wasn’t confident either, but he was willing to listen to his daughter.
At this time, the news transmission in the village wasn’t that convenient. The only channels for everyone to receive information were television and newspapers.
Not every family had television sets. The lag of information was sometimes fatal.
It was not until the middle of July that everyone understood the seriousness of the matter from the news.
Even the higher-ups went to H City to personally guide the work.
For a few days in a row, the news on television was all about fighting against the flood.
On the other hand, although S City was not as serious as the other cities in the south, it was still raining cats and dogs. The water level in the river had risen by a large margin.
In the beginning, in order to protect the vegetables in the shed, the Li family went into battle and dug a drainage ditch overnight.
In the past few days, the water had indeed been discharged. The Li family also heaved a sigh of relief. However, the rain was getting heavier and heavier. In the end, there was no time for it to be discharged.
The vegetables in the field had been soaking in the water. It was obvious that they would rot after the storm.
In this large amount of rain, let alone cucumbers and tomatoes, no plant could survive.
The Li family was clouded in misery.
Now that the water level in the field was so high, they did not dare to stay in the house above the ground. They could only wait at home.
Wait for the rain to stop, wait for the weather to clear up!
Meng Xiaoning was still at work. She wasn’t home except on weekends, so the Li family of five was all squeezed into the old house.
The terrain of the village was slightly higher, but the rain in the courtyard was two to three centimeters deep.
“Fortunately, I listened to my Sister. Otherwise, I would have lost thousands of Yuan!” Li Lei looked at the rain outside and murmured.
Li Yong stood under the eaves and looked at the sky silently. His heart was burning with anxiety.
This rain not only wasted all his previous efforts, but he didn’t know when it would get better. This whole process had delayed him for at least three months.
Three months without income. Li Yong felt uncomfortable just thinking about it.
While he was silent, the courtyard door was suddenly pushed open.
A few men wearing raincoats appeared at the Li family’s door.
Li Zhiming stood up. “Who is it?”
Those people were wearing raincoats and hats. They couldn’t see their faces clearly at all.
The three of them slowly walked in. Only then did Li Zhiming see clearly that it was Li Danian and the others.
Seeing this, Li Zhiming sat down on the horse carriage again.
Presumably, they were also here for the matter of the greenhouse.
He was anxious, and Li Danian and the others were even more anxious!
“Uncle Zhiming, help us. What should we do now?”Li Danian was the first to speak. “With such a heavy rain, all the vegetables in the field have been flooded.”
“Yes, Uncle Zhiming. If we had known earlier, we would have listened to you. We borrowed all the money and invested it all in!”
“We don’t know when the rain will stop. We can’t just watch these vegetables rot in the field.”
A few of them were talking at the same time.
After they finished speaking, Li Yong suddenly sneered and said sarcastically, “I’ve told you guys a long time ago. If you don’t listen, what can we do? I’m afraid at that time, you still thought that our family wanted to harm you guys, right?”
When a few of them heard Li Yong’s words, they looked at each other and didn’t dare to speak again.
“Besides, why did you come looking for us? It’s raining so heavily, what can we do? We’re not the gods. If we tell it to not rain, then it won’t rain? If we have a way, will we just watch the rain drown all the vegetables in the field?”
Li Yong was stifled in his heart and had nowhere to vent his anger. Weren’t these three people going against the gun?
The rest of the family didn’t say anything.
“Uncle Zhiming, doesn’t your family have connections?” Li Danian hesitated for a long time before finally stating his purpose of coming. “We can’t just sit around and wait for death. We can take back some of our capital!”
When Li Yong heard this, he looked at the three people in front of him from the corner of his eyes.
“Some of the Chilli and eggplants in my shed are almost ready. If we sell them now, we can still make some money!” Another person said embarrassedly.
“Uncle Zhiming, we are all villagers. You should know the situation of our families. You can’t just stand by and watch them die. Otherwise, we really have no way to survive.”
Li Zhiming took out his tobacco pipe and smoked one mouthful after another.
A moment later, Li zhiming sighed. “I’m sure you know the situation in our shed. A batch of tomatoes, cucumbers, and eggplants has also ripened. Don’t we feel sorry for them? Xiao Lei and Xiao Yong had gone to look for vegetable buyers a few days ago. They couldn’t even take care of themselves now. The rain was so heavy that it affected the traffic. The vegetables in the cold storage couldn’t be transported out. They were already full. They couldn’t collect them even if they wanted to. They could only wait for the rain to stop..”
