Chapter 31 New Problems Emerge

Li Wanqing looked warily at the bushes on both sides of the road, not even letting go of the branches, but she saw nothing.

Could it be her illusion again?But this happened only three times, and this was the fourth time she felt this feeling of being stared at.

"Mother, do you feel that someone is staring at us?" Li Wanqing asked in a low voice to Lin Shuirou who was sitting next to her, her almond eyes were like radar scanning the trees on both sides.

Lin Shuirou looked around and replied: "No, Qing'er, did you get up early today and didn't sleep well, so your vision is wrong?"

"Yeah, sister, I didn't feel the feeling of being stared at as you mentioned." Li Muchen also said crisply beside him.

really not?Li Wanqing looked at the woods on both sides of the road again. Although her mother and younger brother said no, the feeling of being stared at was so strong. She believed that her feeling was not wrong, but who wanted to stare at her? she?
She has no power, no money, and no good looks. At most, she can only be regarded as a beautiful woman. Who would always stare at her like she has no women?

Could it be Huayuanju's competitor?But soon Li Wanqing denied it again. She only sells some agricultural products, so she doesn't pose any threat to them?

For the sake of safety, Li Wanqing decided to ask Ouyang Yuanhao next time if he had made an enemy?

The feeling of being watched did not disappear until Li Wanqing entered Xiaoqing Village.

After dinner, the family of four sat on the kang of Li Rulin and his wife again to discuss what to do next.

"Father, let's invite a few more people to pick all the fruits this month. They always hang on the trees. I'm afraid there will be long nights and dreams." Li Wanqing said her opinion.

"Pick them all back? Where can we store them?" Li Rulin asked with wide-eyed eyes.

"Just put them in the shed in the backyard, separated by wooden boards."

"Can you put it down?" The family couldn't calculate how many fruits those fruit trees had produced.

"When you can't let it go, think of another way."

Seeing her daughter's insistence, Li Rulin couldn't say anything.

"After two days of market day, I still have to go to the town to buy eight large tile vats." This time, Huayuanju even bought the large tile vats they loaded. One is two hundred yuan, and eight is one thousand. Six hundred texts.Just enough for them to buy eight more large tile vats.

"it is good."

After discussing things, they all went to sleep.

The next day, right after breakfast, Li Muchen went to the village to gather boys over ten years old to go up the mountain to pick longevity fruits with a basket on their backs. This time, a total of [-] boys were called together, and the wages were still based on per person per day. One penny, no food included, and the wages will be settled in the afternoon of the same day.

Lin Shuirou also asked three more women from the village to help wash the fruit together. Aunt Fu and Luo Shi helped out last month, so of course they will also find them this month. The other three are Aunt Fu's sister-in-law Chen, Mrs. Huang is relatively stout, but she doesn't talk much, but she has quick hands and feet. One is the nephew of the village chief, Mrs. Huang. Zhou.

The five of them were working together, and they were all talking and laughing. In addition, Lin Shuirou was easy-going and soft-hearted. They were not the ones who liked to take advantage, and everyone got along very happily.

This month's production has been completed in just three days. Li Wanqing also estimated that in five days, the longevity fruit on the mountain should be finished.

After picking the longevity fruit on the mountain, she and her father went to the nearby hills to see if there were any longevity fruits?

With a goal, the work will be even harder. Five days later, the longevity fruit on the mountain will be picked as scheduled, and the family will weigh the longevity fruit that has not been pickled. Calculated from a hundred catties, it can only be sold for three months at most. Li Wanqing's determination to find the longevity fruit is even more urgent.

On the second day after picking the longevity fruit, the father and daughter went to the hilltop of Liujiazhuang next door to look for it. They searched for three days, but they couldn't find it. After turning around the mountain, Li Wanqing was very disappointed but couldn't find the longevity fruit.

Three months later, their family had no income, and the contract signed with Huayuanju was to pay 1000 catties per month, and the time limit was one year. Judging from the current production, by December at the end of the year, Their home would be out of stock, which meant that their home would breach the contract, and they would have to pay Huayuanju another [-] taels of silver as liquidated damages.

"Qing'er, what should I do now?" Lin Shuirou was so anxious that she was about to cry, 1000 taels, where can they find it at home?

Li Rulin pursed his lips tightly. He knew that Li Wanqing couldn't be blamed for this matter. As a father, he signed the contract without even thinking about it. Qing'er was just a 15-year-old girl who had never seen anything in the world. Will it be out of stock?
Li Wanqing knew that it would be useless to be upset and regretful now, so she thought about how she should tell Ouyang Yuanhao about this matter?Also, she had to come up with a way to make up for it so that Ouyang Yuanhao would not pursue liquidated damages.

Li Muchen's eyes were also flushed anxiously, but he bit his lower lip tightly to prevent himself from crying. He hated himself for not growing up quickly, so that his parents and sister would not have to be so helpless.

"Father, mother, let's tell Mr. Ouyang the truth." After thinking twice, Li Wanqing made a decision. If he doesn't say it now, Ouyang Yuanhao will also know it at the end of the year. Instead of saying it when it is irretrievable, it is better now Discuss the solution with Ouyang Yuanhao.

"Then what if Mr. Ouyang wants us to pay money?" Lin Shuirou asked in a trembling voice.

"Young Master Ouyang is not that kind of person." Is it really them?Li Wanqing knew that these words were not only comforting her family, but also comforting her restless heart.

When it was time to go to the market again, Li Rulin and Li Wanqing stepped into the gate of Huayuanju with trepidation and found Ji Fang.

The arrival of Li Rulin's father and daughter surprised Ji Fang, but when he heard that Li Wanqing had something important to discuss with Ouyang Yuanhao, Ji Fang did not dare to delay at all, and brought Li Wanqing to the study, while Li Rulin stayed in the lobby wait.

"Miss Li, what's the matter?" Seeing Li Wanqing who came suddenly, Ouyang Yuanhao was also very surprised.

Li Wanqing's palms were sweating nervously, with countless clues in her mind, but she couldn't figure out how to tell Ouyang Yuanhao so as not to make him angry.

　Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, and I wish you all a happy Dragon Boat Festival in advance!
