Chapter 115: Unsale of Eggs
Lan Xin washed her face, poured water under her feet and rinsed her feet. This hot summer felt a lot cooler to her.
"There are not many people here now, but our family has split up, so some of my brothers will definitely move out. There is not much space to build a house in the village, so I heard them say they will build a house here."
By then, no matter whether it is Lan Qing or anyone else, if they build a house here and live here, Lan Xin will have company.
This is the end of the village, and it is connected to the back mountain, leading to Sanqing Mountain. This is the fastest and most convenient way. Aunt Mo and her family took this route before.
When people in the village start going to Sanqing Mountain to make money, Lan Xin will no longer worry about no one passing by here. It will then be much safer with people coming and going.
What's more, Lan Xin plans to rebuild the house, build a high wall around the yard, sprinkle a handful of nails and broken glass on the wall, and raise two big dogs. No one will dare to come to the door.
After hearing what Lan Xin said, Lan Yi nodded. Knowing that Lan Xin had a plan, she felt much more relieved.
She took the basin of water from Lan Xin and washed it herself, then poured out the water.
Lan Xin had already locked the door to the yard, and the two of them walked into the room.
In the dim mosquito net in the room, Yingying and Yueyue were already fast asleep, lying on their backs with their mouths wide open, looking as if they were recalling in their dreams what delicious food they had eaten at noon.
Fortunately, this irregular bed is big enough to accommodate so many people.
The two children were moved to the corner, and Lan Xin and Lan Yi lay down together.
Sleeping on a mat woven with rush, Lan Xin took a large cattail leaf fan from the side and started fanning herself.
The cool breeze made the stuffy mosquito net much cooler.
Lan Xin muttered to herself, since there are few people here, why not buy a fan to cool down.
If there is no air conditioning in summer, we must have a fan, right?
Her arms have felt thinner these days.
Unable to sleep, Lan Xin asked what happened to Lan Yi's chicken farm and why it suddenly stopped working.
Lan Yi sighed and told Lan Xin the story from the beginning.
The person who ran the chicken farm with Liu Zhengxin was Liu Zhengxin's childhood friend. At the beginning, Liu Zhengxin joined the army first, and the other person followed him.
Although they went to different places, they kept in touch. They retired at about the same time and were fellow villagers, good friends, and comrades-in-arms. They had always had a good relationship, so when that brother said they wanted to start a chicken farm together, Liu Zhengxin took out all his assets to start it together.
Who knows how long it had only been since then, the chicken farm had just been set up, and his brother's wife asked someone to find him a security job in a factory in the city as a formal employee.
So, they are demanding to go and work as workers, not wanting to work on this dirty, smelly and tiring chicken farm.
Originally, his brother had planned not to withdraw his shares, but to take less money and go to work in a factory, leaving the chicken farm to Liu Zhengxin. But his family made a fuss and insisted that he take the money back, even later.
If they didn't agree, they would come to his house every day, so Liu Zhengxin had to agree to return the money. But after he agreed, they became even more violent, shouting for them to pay back the money. Their appearance of debtors just scared away the businessmen who came to cooperate.
Lan Yi had so much trouble that she couldn't even express it, and she complained to Lan Xin.
The more Lan Xin listened, the more she frowned. This was really a bad person.
"Doesn't my brother-in-law's partner take care of his family?" Lan Xin asked knowingly.
Lan Yi said with a bitter face: "No, he can't beat his wife and mother. His father died a long time ago, and it was my mother who raised him alone. It was not easy for him to marry a wife, so he has to listen to them in everything. He can't control anything."
Is it really out of control?
Lan Xin wasn't quite sure.
But I know clearly that this brother is not a smart man. He can't handle the affairs at home, and he lets his wife and mother make trouble while he hides behind others to get benefits.
If you cooperate with such a person, in the end, you won't know whether the chicken farm belongs to him or his family. You will have a bunch of relatives and friends who like to meddle in other people's affairs and make trouble. How can the chicken farm develop like this? Whose orders should you listen to?
"Their family is so troublesome. It's not a good thing to work alone without a partnership." Lan Xin comforted the worried Lan Yi.
"You should just break up right away. Don't listen to what the man says about continuing to work together, with him going to the factory and your brother-in-law managing the chicken farm. In the end, no matter how hard you work or how well you do, they won't look at you favorably. They will think you deserve it and may even suspect you of secretly taking money. This is a thankless job and will affect the future development of the chicken farm."
Lan Xin reminded them that under the current circumstances, the best thing to do is to break up and work independently, but Lan Yi and her friends are short of money now, and their partners are pressing for money. It is hard not to imagine that Lan Yi and her friends will take a step back and give part of the money and retain part of the shares if they have no money.
Then, wouldn't it be Lan Yi and her husband who would work hard to make money for their partners?
They also have to listen to the other party's chatter and instructions from time to time, and in the end, they might even try to trick Lan Yi and the others into taking more money.
Moreover, there are many risks in chicken farms. If a chicken catches a cold, it can infect the entire chicken farm. The risk is too great, and these people obviously will not share the risk.
In this case, we might as well just break up the partnership.
After hearing Lan Xin's words, Lan Yi was also shocked and couldn't help sitting up straight in a daze.
After dealing with that brother's mother and wife these days, Lan Yi has roughly figured out their character. What Lan Xin said will definitely happen.
What if they are busy from morning to night and end up becoming workers for their family?
But thinking about the string of zeros on the account now, Lan Yi felt bitter. That person suddenly withdrew from the partnership, and they had no money to pass on the money to him.
The previous business was disrupted, and they still have thousands of eggs in their warehouse. The hens in the chicken farm will continue to lay eggs every day, and they don’t have time to sell them. They finally found someone, but the price has been pushed down to the lowest level. If they sell them at that price, they won’t even make back the money they earn from the chicken feed.
But if they are not sold, the eggs will not last long in this hot weather. If they are not sold during this period, they will go bad and become smelly.
Thinking of this, Lan Yi felt overwhelmed and couldn't sleep.
She stretched her legs out of the bed, wanting to get out of bed and go home.
"Sister, I won't go to Sanqing Mountain with you. I get anxious when I think of the eggs piled up at home. I don't have the heart to go with you to see if there are many people on the mountain."
Even if I go back and can't help for half an afternoon, it's better than playing here absent-mindedly.
After Lan Yi opened the mosquito net and got up to go out, she did not forget to close the door of the mosquito net again to prevent mosquitoes from flying in.
Lan Xin also stood up and stuck her head out from the mosquito net.
"How many eggs are there? You didn't mention there were more eggs. Tell me more about it. I'll see if I can think of a solution."
