Cheng Rengui and Li Xiaojuan, the old couple, became increasingly confused about this son-in-law.

They always feel that the development of all this is beyond their understanding.

They have been paying attention to the news about the son-in-law. Because of this, they also knew that an official like Wang Qinghui visited his son-in-law some time ago.

They can't even imagine such a thing.

Not to mention the older couple, even the younger ones Cheng Yunping and Liu Yingying couldn't figure out how their brother-in-law could be so powerful.

"Brother-in-law, are you a veteran in your factory now?" Cheng Yunping was curious.

For such a big shot to visit, his brother-in-law's factory must have a certain level of strength.

With his limited knowledge, it was difficult to say how many there were, but he felt that there should be hundreds of millions.

Cao Shujie smiled and took the wine bottle to pour wine for his father-in-law: "What the hell, I just used Lao Wang to come to our factory last month and asked grandpa to ask grandma to borrow some money from the bank. If I really have the ability, I will

Do you still need to borrow money from the bank?"

"ah……"

This was different from what Cheng Yunping thought, and this result made him confused.

Liu Yingying couldn't understand it at all, but she had heard a saying that those who can borrow money from banks are capable people.

For example, the couple wanted to raise more cattle and went to the bank to ask about a loan. However, the answers they received were not satisfactory based on their qualifications.

In the end, they only loaned out an interest-free loan of 200,000 yuan, which was to be repaid in three years.

With a little money from my parents-in-law, I rented the current cattle farm.

The number of cattle raised has also increased from the original 10 cattle to the current 30.

My father-in-law has been raising this issue for two and a half years and has gained experience.

The couple also worked with their father-in-law and mother-in-law for half a year and accumulated some experience. They did not expand blindly.

But in the past six months of working on their own, they have encountered a lot of trouble.

"Brother-in-law, the price of calves is really ridiculous now." Cheng Yunping changed the subject and talked about something that was closely related to him, gritting his teeth with hatred.

He felt that all the profits from raising cattle were taken away by cattle dealers who sold calves.

Farmers like them will not make money in a few years.

"How much does the calf you bought cost?" Cao Shujie asked his brother-in-law when he saw him like this.

Cheng Yunping held out four fingers: "4,600 a head, and others won't sell it for a penny less. It depends on how much I raise. Many of them in our village are bought for 5,000 yuan, which is outrageous."

As soon as Cheng Yunping finished speaking, Cheng Xiaolin turned to her husband and asked: "Shujie, isn't that right? I remember that the calves we bought there are not so expensive."

Cao Shujie nodded: "The last batch I bought in October last year was 3800, and the one I bought in May this year was 4000. However, if I buy again after a while, the price will have to be raised a little, and it should be around 4200."

When Cheng Yunping heard the price mentioned by his brother-in-law, he opened his mouth and was stunned.

Liu Yingying was nagging next to her: "Yunping, you see, when we bought the calf, I told you to ask your brother-in-law, but you have to ask. The difference of 600 yuan per head, those black-hearted cattle dealers, ancestral graves

There’s black smoke coming out.”

Cheng Xiaolin looked at her husband subconsciously, thinking it was better not to ask just now.

But Cao Shujie said: "Yingying, you are wrong. If you buy less, the price must be high. If I buy less, the price is not that low."

"Ah, brother-in-law, we have a total of 30 calves now. Last time we bought 20 calves at once. Isn't that enough?"

Liu Yingying found it incredible.

The number of cattle they currently raise is one of the largest in the surrounding area.

But Cao Shujie stretched out two fingers: "I bought more than 2,300 heads at one time."

Liu Yingying: "..."

She was speechless.

Even if she is bad at math, she still knows how big the difference is between 20 lots and more than 2,300 lots, and then she understands what it means to buy more.

There is a difference of more than 100 times. It is no wonder that the price difference between the calf they bought and the calf bought by their brother-in-law is 600 yuan.

When I think about it, I feel balanced.

There was nothing I could do about it. Those cattle dealers who sold calves to her brother-in-law really made small profits but quick turnover, but they couldn't handle the large quantities.

If you sell to small businesses like them, you can naturally make more money.

Cao Shujie and Cheng Xiaolin stayed one night in Chengjiapo and left the next morning.

Cheng Xiaolin wanted to stay for two more days, but the day after tomorrow was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and her husband had to pay visits and condolences when he returned.

Welfare benefits in Caojiazhuang have not been extended yet, and those with elderly people at home still need village committee leaders to look after them.

Her husband is often busy outside, but this job has never fallen behind.

Before leaving, Li Xiaojuan still held the hand of her daughter Cheng Xiaolin and told her to come back often with Mengmeng in her arms.

She also said that her daughter can drive herself and there is a car at home.

"Mengmeng, say goodbye to grandma quickly." Cheng Xiaolin said.

She felt that if she continued talking, she would have to cry again.

But obviously, when they got into the car and left, they clearly saw Li Xiaojuan crying outside the car. Her mood was instantly filled with another feeling of farewell, and she also started crying.

…

Cao Shujie drove back to Caojiazhuang, and his wife's mood improved.

The family of three got out of the car, and Cao Shujie carried down the vegetables he brought from his mother-in-law's house.

Her mother, Wang Yuelan, heard the commotion and came out of the house.

Seeing them coming back, Wang Yuelan hurried over to help move things and asked what they were doing with so many things.

"Mom, my mother insisted on bringing it with me. They grow it at home and eat it cleanly," Cheng Xiaolin said.

"My mother-in-law is very considerate." Wang Yuelan did not hesitate to praise her mother-in-law.

Although Cheng Xiaolin didn't say anything, she was very happy in her heart.

"Mom, it's so hot. Stop moving things. Hurry up and bring Mengmeng in. Shujie and I will just take it," Cheng Xiaolin said.

"It's okay, Mengmeng, you go in first and I'll move things for your parents." Wang Yuelan still insisted on helping.

Mengmeng also shouted: "Grandma, I work too."

Not letting her work was not enough, but Cheng Xiaolin couldn't resist her and finally let her go home with a bag of fruit.

…

Cao Jianlong has been waiting for Cao Shujie. He called Cao Shujie yesterday afternoon and learned that Cao Shujie went to Chengjiapo, Dayao Town to accompany his wife to her parents' house. Cao Jianlong could not forcefully call him back.

He told Cao Shujie to call him when he came back the next day.

But before Cao Shujie could call him, Cao Jianlong heard the news from others that Cao Shujie had just arrived home, and he rode his electric bike directly over to find Cao Shujie.

"Uncle Long, I just finished my work, please let me take a breather." Cao Shujie pointed to the vegetables that had not been put up yet, feeling helpless.

"Take a look at these dishes. If you want to eat something, just take it." Cao Shujie said.

All vegetables are in season, including cucumbers, tomatoes, eggplants, and beans. It’s pretty complete.

Cao Shujie specifically explained: "My mother-in-law grew them all by herself without any pesticides."

Cao Jianlong now urgently wants Cao Shujie to go with him to the village committee compound, but he also knows that what he is doing is indeed a bit unethical.

"I won't take the vegetables. I also grow them at home. If I had known you were short of this, I would have asked your aunt to bring you some."

"Don't bother me, Uncle Long, let's not do that. I don't have any shortage at home, and they are growing on the mountain." Cao Shujie quickly refused.

Her mother, Wang Yuelan, said from the side: "Shujie, why don't you go quickly and finish your work first before coming back to rest?"

"Okay!" Cao Shujie was not pretentious. He also rode an electric bike and went to the village committee compound with Cao Jianlong.

Not long after, Wang Yuelan also rode an electric tricycle, driving towards the village committee compound with her daughter-in-law and granddaughter.

The weather was still a bit hot, so Cao Zhenghu didn't go out anymore. He was watching TV at home.

Cao Shujie and the others came to the village committee compound, and Cao Jianlong shouted twice on the loudspeaker, asking everyone at home in Caojiazhuang to send two people over to receive benefits.

This time, the people from Caojiazhuang came faster.

Cao Shujie and his five others were chatting in the office. More and more people came outside, and soon the yard was filled.

"We are almost here. We will divide into three teams later and distribute the things as soon as possible." Cao Jianlong said.

The main reason is that the temperature is relatively high in September, and things like freshly killed beef cannot be stored. The villagers have to take things back and store them in the refrigerator.

"Okay, uncle, I'll find someone to help me later. You guys can coordinate and we can finish the distribution as soon as possible." Cao Shujie said.

After this division, they took three printed lists of the whole village, which showed a total of 396 households, 25 households more than the year when Cao Shujie first came back.

In addition to the dead population, the new population has also increased in recent years. The total population is now 32 more than when Cao Shujie first came back.

This is still the population settled in Caojiazhuang, not counting those who have moved their household registration.
