Oh no! The leader's young wife is demanding a divorce every night!
Chapter 60: Recruiting People from His Hometown
Xiao Re remained calm as he looked up at the stage.
"I use my own money and do my own thing. He doesn't need to know, and I won't rely on him."
"My bid is now the highest. If there are no higher bidders present, please have the captain announce the bidding results."
Director Deng had been preparing for this farm contract for a long time, even contacting the feed mill and the piglets, and paying the deposit. He was just waiting to get started, but then Xiao Re, that troublemaker, interfered and ruined everything.
That's truly hateful.
He gritted his teeth, clutching his bleeding heart, and painfully raised the price a little.
"I'll offer a thousand!"
Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Re immediately chimed in.
"I'll offer 1200!"
She was rich and generous, too lazy to add 200 at a time, and directly increased it by 200.
The shock caused a stir among the crowd, who all gasped in astonishment.
Has this woman gone mad? You can't just throw money around like that!
Director Deng's face turned ashen, and his chest heaved violently with anger.
The rent of 1200 is a loss-making proposition, no matter how carefully he calculates it, even if one person does the work of three. No matter how unwilling he is, he has no choice but to give up.
That brat, it seems she's deliberately trying to go against their family.
Deng Ke thought Xiao Re was retaliating against him for blocking his job. Liu Cuiping thought Xiao Re was retaliating against her for speaking ill of her.
Actually, that's not it. Xiao Re was too lazy to bother with these people over such trivial matters. She just wanted to bring Yang Erni over to keep her company.
Xiao Wen glanced helplessly at Deng Ke, then looked intently at Xiao Re.
Finally, I solemnly announce.
"Comrade Xiao Re won the bid for the No. 1 Livestock Breeding Farm of the Military Region. The annual rent is 1200. The contract will be signed immediately."
The rent of 1200 was an amount he hadn't expected. Since someone was willing to be taken advantage of, he was happy to see it happen. After all, the benefit would genuinely go to the livestock production team.
Xiao Re was a straightforward person; he signed the papers, paid the money, and got it done in one go, without any hesitation.
Everyone watched as she took out a wad of cash from her purse, counted out 1,200, and still had a large stack left.
This woman is really rich! And she's a real spendthrift!
One of the faster soldiers couldn't wait any longer and ran to inform Lu Yanzheng.
"Commander Lu, something terrible has happened. Your beautiful wife has taken over a breeding farm."
Lu Yanzheng was leading the team in training when he heard this and was startled.
"What did you say?"
"I told you your wife has contracted a farm. The contract is already signed, you should go check it out!"
When Lu Yanzheng arrived, Xiao Re was in high spirits, making plans with the farm's blueprints.
"Xiao Re, what are you doing contracting this thing? Do you even know how to raise them?"
Xiao Re smiled, her eyebrows curving upwards, her face full of charm.
"Won't!"
"If you can't do it, why did you take on the contract? What are you doing messing around with?"
Xiao Re raised his chin proudly, his face full of cunning.
"No, I can hire someone! I have a job now. I don't need your help; I have work to do."
"Commander Lu, congratulate me!"
Congratulations? Lu Yanzheng was furious. This woman, just to spite him, actually spent 1200 yuan to lease a stinking breeding farm. What on earth was she trying to do?
"No bag allowed! You get a refund!"
"No refund! I'm very happy!"
Upon hearing about the refund, Xiao Wen quickly stepped in to smooth things over.
"Commander Lu, the contract has already been signed and the rent has been paid, how can we cancel it? This was a public tender, it can't be taken lightly. Your wife is just being proactive and hardworking! You should support her work."
"Although your sister-in-law has no experience in animal husbandry, our breeding team will provide technical guidance. Don't worry, I will definitely help her do a good job in animal husbandry."
The money's already been paid, what could Lu Yanzheng say? Besides offering his support, he could only let her do as she pleased.
At worst, I can help her with it later.
"Xiao Re, you really know how to cause me trouble. Raising livestock is hard work; don't cry when you're tired!"
"Don't cry, don't cry, my happy life is just around the corner!"
Xiao shoved the contract into his pocket and ran quickly outside.
Lu Yanzheng took off after her.
"Xiao Re, where are you going!"
"I'm going back to my hometown to hire a livestock farmer!"
"Wait a minute, I'll take tomorrow off and go with you!"
"No need! I can handle my own affairs!"
Lu Yanzheng still had a mission to complete and couldn't leave at all. He could only watch helplessly as her hurried figure ran further and further away.
Upon arriving in Qingkou Town, Xiao Re deliberately changed into her school uniform to go home, fearing that her father would find out about her dropping out of school, and even more so that he would find out that she had secretly married someone, and that the person she married was none other than Lu, her enemy.
They would just give her a bowl of bitter medicine and send her to her death.
When I was a child, every time I got into trouble, my dad would punish me with medicine, and it was the kind of bitter medicine that was nourishing but extremely potent.
If my father finds out, he'll probably eat ten gallbladders and suffer eight pounds of bitter herbs.
"Xiao Re, are you doing well at school? Do you have enough money? Dad has a few hundred yuan here, take it and buy some good food, don't be stingy."
"Even though Dad's clinic is gone, he can still earn some money by collecting and selling herbs!"
Xiao felt a lump in her throat and couldn't help but shed tears as she looked at her father's three bare, severed fingers.
She wanted to give her father money so he wouldn't have to work so hard, but she didn't know how to bring it up.
"That's enough, that's enough. I get good grades, I can get scholarships, and I can earn tens of dollars a month tutoring rich kids on weekends!"
Upon hearing her father mention gathering herbs, a brilliant idea flashed through her mind.
"Dad, let me tell you something. There's a big mountain near our school, and there are Ganoderma lucidum and many other precious medicinal herbs growing on the cliffs at the top. I was lucky enough to pick two hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum plants and sold them for a full six hundred yuan."
"I also caught a lot of spicy snacks, the highly poisonous kind, and sold them for quite a bit of money. Here, take this 800 yuan. From now on, do less work, and your daughter will support you!"
Xiao Re finally found a flimsy excuse to give his father money, but he didn't dare give too much, for fear of giving himself away.
Xiao Chengji refused to accept it, so Xiao Re resorted to shrewish behavior.
"Fine, you don't want to, huh? You want to be frugal, huh? Then I'll suffer with you from now on, eating coarse food and scrimping and saving, until I'm skinny as a stick!"
In the end, Xiao Chengji happily accepted it and praised it to everyone he met.
"My daughter earned money and gave me eight hundred. When I first brought her home, she was just a tiny little thing, weighing less than three pounds. You all said she wouldn't survive. But I've raised her just fine. Whose daughter is as beautiful, as smart, or as successful as mine!"
Dr. Xiao, who had been honest and kind all his life, finally got his moment of triumph and learned to show off.
Although Xiao Re is not his biological daughter, she is more filial than his own daughter.
Of course, this doesn't include times when they're mischievous, naughty, or causing trouble.
After visiting her father, Xiao Re went to Butcher Yang's house to find Yang Erni. A quick thought struck her, and she made up another lie on the spot.
"Uncle Yang, is Erni there? I have some amazing news to tell you!"
