Deal

Jiang Chuan understood Su Zhen's concerns. six thousand kilograms of grain was not a small amount, so it was only natural for Su Zhen to have reservations. However, Jiang Chuan had already considered this issue the previous day, so he was not worried.

Jiang Chuan assured him, "Xiao Su, rest easy. Even if we can't grow the full six kilogram, I will ensure that you're compensated, either in grain tickets or in cash. I won't let you suffer a loss."

This promise acted like a reassuring tonic for Su Zhen. Nonetheless, Su Zhen still insisted on a down payment.

Knowing that Jiang Chuan didn't have the necessary funds at the moment, Su Zhen took the deed to Jiang Chuan's house as collateral. He handwrote a note detailing the terms, and only then was the deal finalized.

The two agreed that Su Zhen would deliver the seeds to Pushan Village in three days.
