At this moment, the parents-in-law looked at each other, and the father-in-law said with a smile, “Son, our village has already established a company at the end of the year. Our family has contributed half of our land as shares. When spring comes, we will plant vegetables on our 1.5 Mu of land along with everyone else. As for the other half, we plan to plant rice.”

At this point, the daughter-in-law hesitated and asked, “Mom, last year, we planted vegetables on Five Points of Land. How much money did we make?”

The mother-in-law thought for a moment and said, “Planting vegetables on Five Points of Land is not much at all, because we grow them for ourselves to eat, so we grow a wide variety of crops. We eat one kind today and another kind tomorrow, so there is not much left to sell. However, in the second half of the year, the price of our village’s vegetables rose, and although we didn’t sell much, we still made three to four thousand yuan.”

“What, Five Points of Land sold for three to four thousand yuan?” The daughter-in-law was slightly surprised, “So much?”

“Almost.” The mother-in-law said, “We estimate that the vegetables we sold only account for about one-fifth.”

“One-fifth sold for three to four thousand.” The son calculated, “If we sold them all, that would be more than ten thousand, right?”

“Yes. And, we feed these old leaves to our chickens and ducks. The eggs they lay don’t taste fishy at all, and the meat is even more tender. So, our village’s chickens, ducks, pigs, and eggs all sell at a higher price than others. For example, the chickens raised by this family sell for twenty-five yuan per jin, while other villages sell for twenty yuan per jin. Our village’s eggs cost eighty cents each, while other villages charge fifty cents each.”

“But if they’re so expensive, do people buy them?” The daughter-in-law asked in doubt.

“Of course, and it’s not enough to sell. Just like our village’s vegetables, they sell at high prices, and people still scramble to buy them. Nowadays, money is not a problem for people; as long as the quality is good, no matter how expensive, someone is willing to buy it.

Nowadays, many people in our village raise chickens and ducks, which is another source of income. In the second half of last year, our family raised thirty chickens and twenty ducks. Besides keeping some for ourselves and giving some to relatives and friends, we made three to four thousand yuan from selling eggs.”

As the mother-in-law was talking, she remembered something else, “However, besides each family raising some chickens, ducks, and pigs, the company also plans to establish large-scale chicken, duck, pig, cattle, and fish farms.

“Ah, so many?” The son and daughter-in-law were both surprised, “Who will raise them?”

The father-in-law gave his son and daughter-in-law a look as if to say they were idiots.

The father-in-law said, “Who will raise them? Like I said, the company will.”

“Ha, the company will raise them?” The son and daughter-in-law were confused, “The company just started, does it have money?”

The father-in-law said, “If the company doesn’t have money, don’t you know about loans?”

“Ah, loans?” The daughter-in-law asked incredulously, “How can this be done with loans?”

They really didn’t know that companies could take out loans.

The father-in-law explained, “It’s an agricultural loan. As for how to get the loan, we don’t know. Those things are handled by Xiao Wanshan and his son. We don’t really understand when they explain it to us!”

However, the daughter-in-law was still suspicious, “Dad, won’t they cheat people? They won’t just take out a loan and use it for themselves, right? Then everyone in our village will be in debt!”

“Don’t talk nonsense!” The father-in-law scolded gently, “Xiao Wanshan’s family is very wealthy. They don’t need to cheat the entire village.”
