Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space

Chapter 1029: Arrangements

After finishing his meal, Old Yang went to Li Yungui’s house to inform the father and son that they would be shipping out goods tonight."I’m heading to the transportation team now to arrange for someone to load the trucks when I return. Chaoyang, make sure to settle all the accounts with Han Xiangjun."

"Yes, Master Yang."

Li Yungui was delighted; this was all money, after all.

Old Yang finished speaking and went to the transportation company. The team leader, Jin Erlin, immediately assigned the driver who has been cooperating with Li Family Village for a long time. It’s easier to deal with, and most importantly, the driver is familiar with the route.

Loading began at ten o’clock at night. Lu Tiezhu thought to himself, thankfully the house is already built, and they must move there in a few days; there will be more of these types of things happening in the future. His wife’s health isn’t great now and she can’t handle the midnight disturbances.

Qu Xiaoli was long accustomed to her son leaving suddenly now and then, so there was no need to prepare anything for him, although she had no lack of advice.

"Second Brother, can you bring back some sweets?" Cheng Lin asked subserviently.

"If there’s time to go out, I’ll definitely bring some back. This time my master hasn’t returned yet, I’m guessing he’ll have plans when he does. So, we’re in a big hurry this time, when would I have time to go buy candy?"

Cheng Lin was disappointed, but he understood that Second Brother was busy. He was just a bit low-spirited.

At eleven o’clock, the truck set off, and Li Yungui returned home, humming opera tunes.

"Alright, hurry up and sleep. There’s still plenty to do tomorrow."

"How can I sleep? Old Yang asked me to keep an eye on the canning tomorrow. When Xiao Wei returns, we might have to ship out in large quantities."

"Hey, I think this year one person might get a few hundred shares, right?" Qu Xiaoli asked softly.

"Yeah, we’ll divide quite a bit of money," Li Yungui spoke, his voice full of laughter. The next day, Li Yungui didn’t go anywhere, just watched over the canning at the workshop.

"Village Chief, you just make sure to oversee the fields; you being here makes us nervous." Someone joked with Li Yungui.

"You better work hard, you talk too much. Don’t you want to build a brick and tile house next year?"

"Why wouldn’t I? I’ve worked half my life, just dreaming of living in a brick house with bright glass windows. Just thinking about it is beautiful."

"Stop daydreaming, hustle, and you’ll have hope."

"Village Chief, I think it’ll rain tonight; look at how overcast the sky is."

"True, we still have a hundred acres that haven’t been planted."

"No problem, if the hundred acres don’t work for planting, let’s grow cabbage; the land shouldn’t be left idle anyway."

At lunchtime, the county agriculture office came and took away a hundred units of herbicide; it is the most in-demand right now.

The agriculture office hasn’t settled payment for three hundred units yet. Li Yungui frowned, "Old Yang, we need to go to the county; we need money to bring in goods, holding us like this is no good, they’ll get used to it. In the future, when we need money, we’ll still have to ask them."

"Alright, let’s go."

The two drove off, overtaking the tractor carrying herbicide halfway there.

Arriving at the county office, they directly found the person in charge.

"Do you really have to, Village Chief Li?"

Li Yungui smiled, "Why wouldn’t I? How much can you really earn? We need to bring in goods too, and not being short even a penny is crucial. Boss, quickly give us a note to claim the money, it’s going to rain soon."

"Now you’ve got a dedicated car, and I still can’t get a ride in a car."

Li Yungui felt a jolt inside, immediately putting on a bitter face, "Boss, it makes me embarrassed when you say that. This car belongs to a wealthy person from the city, his wife is a ’sent-down youth’ from our village, so now he lives here; faced with urgent matters, I’ll humbly ask for his help."

"I was wondering, thinking Village Chief Li must be riding in cars now."

"There will definitely be such a day."

"Alright, don’t cry poor with me; I know it’s not easy for you to come here, take this and go get your money."

The city leadership has actually already reminded not to hold onto the money too tightly, genuinely irritated by a farmer developing so well.

Had it not been for the large sum involved, Li Yungui would’ve surely ridden over on his bicycle. It’s just fearing carrying too much cash, feeling timid and scared.

In the accounting office, seeing the leadership’s signature, they didn’t make things difficult. They arrived just in time; the cashier was still there, or else it would have been a wasted trip today.

Li Yungui took the money, found Old Yang, and after getting in the car, he sighed.

"What’s wrong? Didn’t get the money?" Old Yang found it amusing, the emotional rollercoasters of Village Chief Li throughout the day are quite something.

"Got it, but he mentioned seeing me riding in a car, thinking I’ve made lots of money."

Old Yang also frowned upon hearing this. They’ve attracted attention from those with ulterior motives. This car needs to be used cautiously from now on.

"Next time, if they don’t pay, say there’s no stock."

Li Yungui sighed, "That’s too harsh; we can’t afford to offend anyone."

Li Yungui was truly troubled. Seeing people being envious despite doing a good job is frustrating.

"You should go to the city and cry poor in the future. Actually, Jiang Xinyu mentioned wanting our village to have electricity."

"That would be too costly." Li Yungui also envied electric lights, especially after hearing from Jiang Xinyu about the benefits of electricity.

"Then apply to higher ups."

"Alright, I’ll head to the city in a few days; this can’t continue. We’ve learned someone is keeping an eye on us, and we aren’t even sure how far development has reached."

"The bigger the tree grows, the more wind it faces; it’s unavoidable."

"I’ll go back and get Wen Zhengzhong to write the proposal."

"He’s quite a talent."

"Yeah, all capable people. Next time, when there are more placements, I’ll take them in; not just the ’sent-down youth’, even if they can’t work, I’d rather keep them."

Old Yang laughed, "Actually, those six young fellows are quite honest."

"Honesty is best, otherwise it’d be worrying."

When they got home, Li Yungui went directly to the Wei Family and handed the money to Jiang Xinyu.

"So promptly?" She thought she wouldn’t get the money back today.

Li Yungui sighed, "Teacher Jiang, we might be drawing some envy."

Jiang Xinyu immediately understood Li Yungui’s meaning.

"It’s normal; we’re developing so fast that people will inevitably be jealous."

"Why hasn’t Xiao Wei come back yet?" Wei Kaiyun is Li Yungui’s main support.

"Should be soon."

"I won’t stay around; I’ll go check the fields, no idea how much land remains unplanted. Even if planted today, it would be tedious; won’t the herbicide be ineffective after rain?"

"More or less, it won’t be entirely ineffective, but the effect will be much reduced."

Li Yungui hurried to the fields; from the edge of the field, he could see there were over seventy acres left unplanted. Forget it, it’s fine. If nothing else, plant cabbage, it makes money anyway.

Nowadays, Li Yungui measures everything by profit. As long as something makes money, it’s fine. When encountering frustrating problems, seeing money will instantly improve his mood.
