Chapter 16: Signing the contract

To sell more products, the child, as if she wished she could report all the things grown in the village, made Dong Wangshu bend back and forth in amusement.

"This little kid is better at doing business than me!"

Song Yueliang looked at the little child, and a smile flashed across her heartless eyes. "Sweet potatoes are coarse grain. It doesn't matter if they're small. You can buy them at a price given by the shop. As for the others …."

Before she could finish, the old village chief was already flustered. "Qiqi has only been in our village for a few days and doesn't know much about the situation. Our village chief only grows watermelons and sweet potatoes. As for the other fruits and vegetables, they are all grown by the villagers for personal consumption. The small quantity looks bad, so they don't dare to sell them."

It was already a great thing that they were willing to accept their watermelons and sweet potatoes.

They didn't dare to sell other things and were too embarrassed to do so.

Not to mention anything else, just the corn they grew at home. They felt t could not take it out.

The old village head looked at Qiqi again. His eyes were full of pity and love. "Qiqi, this child is good. She knows the village is too poor and wants to help us sell our things for some money. This time, it was this child who suggested that we should come to the city."

Chen Jianhe looked at Qiqi, and a smile appeared on his tan and serious face. "I'm glad I listened to Qiqi and came here. Otherwise, I'm afraid many families in the village will not make it to next year."

Qiqi was suddenly praised. She pursed her little mouth and twisted her little hands together. She almost printed "I'm embarrassed" on her forehead.

Song Yueliang looked at this scene and said calmly, "the old man said that Qiqi just arrived in your village. Is there a story behind this?"

The old village chief nodded and told him how Chen Jianhe and Zhang Xifeng picked up the child and how the child was now living with Zhang Xifeng. In the end, he sighed. "It's our blessing that Qiqi came to our village."

Although Chen Jianhe didn't say anything, his face was full of agreement.

That's right. He had picked up a good fortune.

If it weren't for Qiqi's suggestion, they would never have considered entering the city to sell their goods.

After this thought flashed through his mind, Chen Jianhe was stunned for a moment. The way he looked at Qiqi changed.

He remembered that Qiqi had come to his house that night, and his wife's health seemed to have improved.

Others might not know, but he had cared for his wife for more than ten years and could feel the slightest change in her.

Because of the illness left behind when she was young, his wife took Chinese medicine daily. However, her body was still frail, significantly when she coughed. Every night when she went to bed, she often coughed uncontrollably.

Since when did his wife's coughs become less frequent, and she could barely sleep well at night?

It was after Qiqi came to his house that night! The changes that occurred after that!

Could it be because Qiqi was blessed, and this kind of blessing could benefit the people around her?

Chen Jianhe clenched his fists tightly and suppressed his excitement.

No matter what, he would take the baby home every day to treat her well when he returned!

"So, Qiqi is a wandering orphan?" Song Yueliang continued to inquire quietly, "those injuries on her body ... Was she beaten up outside?"

Dong Wangshu immediately looked at the little child as soon as she mentioned it. She hadn't noticed it before, but now that she had a closer look, she realized that there were crisscrossing scars on the little child's thin arm, exposed under half of her sleeve!

Although it had almost faded, it was still visible to the naked eye!

"I, she ... Which bastard did this! Qiqi, tell me who bullied you. I'm going to avenge you!" Dong Wangshu almost cursed in her anger.

She couldn't bear to see other people mistreat children.

Especially after Yue Yue's incident, her mentality had reached its peak.

Qiqi, "…" She sat there at a loss.

Weren't they talking about business? Why did they suddenly talk about her?

The contract hadn't been signed yet. Why hadn't they talked about the goods? They had yet to say when they would pay the money ...

"Auntie ..." Qiqi pursed her lips and gathered her courage to look at Song Yueliang. "Let's go ahead and sign the contract first, okay?"

Eggie said that only by signing the contract would it be guaranteed that nothing would go wrong.

Even though she didn't know what a contract was.

Song Yueliang looked at the little girl and said, "Okay, let's sign the contract."

She found that she couldn't refuse any request from this little child for no reason.

That strange emotion rose in her heart again. This time, it was mixed with anger.

It was just that she was used to not showing her emotions on her face. Song Yueliang controlled her negative emotions very well and didn't reveal them.

She knew she had a demon in her heart and could become a lunatic anytime.

..

The signing of the contract went smoothly.

It was written that Taoxi village would temporarily supply watermelons to Dong's wholesaler for three years! Three years!

As long as there were no accidents in the cooperation, they could continue to sign the contract after three years!

Also, for the sweet potatoes in the village, they would be paid three cents per 500 grams according to the price in the shop!

Moreover, the receiving price of these two agricultural products could be raised with real-time prices in the future!

Qiqi was involved in the entire signing process. Although she knew nothing, she knew how to read people's expressions.

When Grandpa village chief and second Uncle Chen held the "contract ", they laughed so happy that they cried!

"Grandpa village chief, second Uncle Chen, are we making money now?" Her almond-shaped eyes were wide open. Qiqi was nervous and happy.

The two old men couldn't help but nod. "Yes, we can make money, we can make money!"

"Also, can you earn mGranny'sselling my Granny's Grannypotatoes? My Granny has two acres of sweet potatoes!"

"Yes, Granny can also earn money!"

Qiqi was relieved. She thought of the yard loquat tree and felt it was a pity. "It's a pity that aunty doesn't accept loquats. Th loquat tree that granny planted has many fruits."

Chen Jianhe coughed. "Qiqi, Granny's loquats haven't turned yellow yet."

"It'll turn yellow when it's ripe," Qiqi replied.

"But there are only about thirty catties at most. They won't accept it if there's too little."

Qiqi thought about it, and it seemed to make sense.

However, it didn'tGrannyr. If her Granny wanted to sell loquats, she could bring her to town and set up a stall to sell them!

The watermelons sold in bulk were generally only suitable for picking when they were 80% ripe.

It was estimated that there was still half a month before the harvesting season. Both parties discussed the method of receiving the goods then. Chen Jianhe and the old village chief left the wholesale market with Qiqi.

It was just after noon, so they could still get home before dark.

With the contract in their arms, the three felt as if they were holding onto hope as they floated on the road home.

Song Yueliang and Dong Wangshu were still in the office on the third floor.

The room was tranquil.

Dong Wangshu leaned against the window and watched the two adults and one child disappear before turning back. "Qiqi, this child, is lovable. No wonder you pay attention to her."

Song Yueliang was still sitting in her original position. Her head was slightly lowered, and her entire face was in the shadows. She didn't say anything.

Originally, Dong Wangshu wanted to say that Qiqi's facial features were similar to Song Yueliang's. When she turned around and saw her like this, she swallowed back the teasing words she was about to say.

She knew that in front of Yue Yue, there were some things that she could not mention.

Pretending to be relaxed, she walked over to the woman and sat opposite her. "Yue Yue, you're the one who decided to collect the watermelons. You have to help me sell them. Quick, tell me, what are you going to do?"
