Chapter 434 Endless Money


The villagers were shocked when they heard that the fruit tree saplings had withered due to halophiles. They knew that halophiles grew on salty soil. But why would the mountains have salty soil? If the mountains’ soil were saline, the mountains wouldn’t have been able to grow trees and herbs in the past.


Later, they heard the Xiao Family say that the halophiles came due to the use of the Little Cattle King’s manure.


The Little Cattle King’s manure contained a certain amount of salt. Perhaps that had attracted the halophiles. That cleared up the villagers’ suspicion.


Although the halophiles were destructive, it was not hard to get rid of them. All they needed to do was sprinkle some alkaline salt. To that effect, every household in Taoyuan Village went to town to buy limestone powder.


This made the seller extremely happy.


Even if every household only bought a few catties, with the entire Taoyuan Village combined, that was several thousand catties of limestone. That was a big business.


Xiao Lingyu needed an amount that was far too large for the town to supply. The Xiao Family used the car and went to the nearby towns to collect all the limestone. After the villagers bought the limestone, they ground them into powder and sprinkled them in the field. Most of them had small farms. The vegetable fields were only one or two Mus.


Even though Xiao Lingyu had promised to buy all the vegetables, she gave the price according to the quality. The better the quality, the higher the price. Therefore, the villagers took care of the crops meticulously, hoping they would bring the family more income. Due to the mountain contracts, most of the villagers were well-off already. However, no one would complain about having too much money.


While everyone was working in the fields, they started chatting.


“Zhengyang hired some more people to do some work today.” There was some envy in his words. “Chengbang’s family is good friends with Xiao Zhengyang’s family. His family is always hired.”


“You’re right. When they need fewer people, they will only hire Xiao Chengbang and Xiao Chengchun’s families. We’ll only be hired when the Xiao Family needs more workers.”


Some were already satisfied. She said, “That’s already not bad. Just working for the Xiao Family, my family has earned nearly 3000 today. Think about it. In the past, this is impossible. There were no odd jobs to go around in the village. We barely had enough money for food, much less savings. Now that the Xiao Family has planted so many peanuts and soybeans, the odd jobs keep coming.”


“You’re right.” Someone concurred. “In our village, as long as they’re not lazy, they can earn some money. We now have the budget to build new houses and help our children’s marriages.”


“Speaking of, who would have thought halophiles would grow in the mountains. No wonder their saplings look so yellow.” “That’s right. Halophiles normally prefer saline lands. If they didn’t discover this early and deal with the pests the right way, the saplings might all die.


“The fruit trees and the soybeans and peanuts will cost the Xiao Family several million in damages. In fact, I heard Xiao Lingyu had spent at least two million to buy these saplings.” The people around sucked in a breath.


“Xiao Lingyu is getting richer and richer. She spent a few million to rent the mountains, then hired a bunch of people to work, and now she spent so much to buy the saplings. Her money is simply inexhaustible.”


“That’s not true. I heard that she borrowed five or six million from the bank.”


“Is the bank willing to lend her money?”


“In the past, we only knew to go to the bank to deposit money. Who would have thought the bank would lend people money too? But she borrowed so much money from the bank. Does her family own the bank?” Some villagers found it unbelievable.


“But that’s because she’s capable. I heard that the bank didn’t loan people money for nothing. There’s high interest. Qiuying told me that the five million was only on loan for two years. After two years, she has to return six million.”


“Six million? That’s one million extra.”


“That’s why not everyone can afford to borrow money from the bank. Do you think the bank is willing to loan money to people like us?”


Eventually, the topic was pulled back. “It’s a good thing that Xiao Zhengyang’s family found these halophiles in time. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.” “That’s right. They would have lost millions.”


“I heard from Qiuying that Xiao Lingyu was the one who found them.”


“She is really clever.”


“Xiao Lingyu and Gong Tianhao are getting married soon, and the date has been set.”


“Both of them are young and like each other. Even if it’s for the sake of the child, they will definitely get married before the child is born.”


“Do you guys think that this child really belongs to Young Master Gong?”


“It should be. Didn’t you notice how happy Old Master Gong is after the date has been set? He told everyone he would invite the whole village to the hotel for a banquet when his great-grandson was born. He even promised to have all the villagers experience flying on a plane.”


“Just how rich is that family? There are hundreds of families in our village. It’ll be expensive to have the banquet at a big hotel.”


“That’s what he said. I wonder if he’ll keep the promise or not.”
