"Village Chief! Just agree to this kid's request! Otherwise, what about the survival of so many people in our village!" Auntie Zhuang cried bitterly.
Zhao Fei used to work closely with Auntie Zhuang to sell seeds. Auntie Zhuang was in charge of growing the seeds and Zhao Fei was in charge of selling them. At the end of the day, the two of them would split the profits. Auntie Zhuang's two sons grew up alongside Zhao Fei and their entire family was very nice to Zhao Fei. Whenever Zhao Fei was in trouble, they would help him.
They all knew the kind of life Zhao Fei led at Zhao Liu's house. If Zhao Fei could leave Zhao Liu's house and strike it out on his own, he would definitely lead a good life.
"Alright, but not now. The matter of splitting up is too complicated. The village doesn't have time to be the judge for your family matters now. Let's talk about splitting up after we're done with the matter of the seeds," Zhao Kuo said vaguely.
Zhao Fei was not a fool. He had experienced all this trickery when he was young. Otherwise, he would not have been deceived by Zhao Liu and the others for so long!
"Then draw up an agreement! After I've handled the matter of the seeds, I'll split from the family! Split up fairly and justly! I want Auntie Zhuang to be my witness!" Zhao Fei said.
"No problem! I can be your witness!" Auntie Zhuang said.
"Is there something urgent that you want to discuss with me?" Qiao Mei said nonchalantly.
"Sister Qiao Mei, I'm here to talk to you about the seeds from our village. I hope you can be magnanimous and let us off," Zhao Fei said softly.
Qiao Mei was so amused by what Zhao Fei said that she laughed so hard that she almost teared up. Qiao Mei smiled and said, "You're asking me to be magnanimous? I should ask all of you to be magnanimous. The price of two dollars a pound is even higher than my selling price in the market! If you want to sell the seeds to me at this price, then it would cost me 120,000 dollars! Who exactly should be the magnanimous one?"
A business deal of 40,000 dollars was now three times the original price. Qiao Mei was not a fool and naturally would not do such a loss-making business.
"Sister Qiao Mei, then how much do you want to pay per pound?" Zhao Fei probed.
Qiao Mei thought for a moment and said, "We've worked together for so long, so I won't shortchange you. To be honest, whatever I pay will just go to the village. You won't get a single cent, so why do you have to work so hard? How about this, I'll give you my best price, 30 cents a pound. How about that?"
Zhao Fei had thought that the worst outcome would be to sell the seeds for 20 cents a pound. It seemed that Qiao Mei was willing to give them a way out.
"Yes, yes! This is the letter of consent from all the villagers. If there's no problem, I can sign the agreement on their behalf!" Zhao Fei said excitedly.
Qiao Mei took out the agreement that she had prepared long ago. Zhao Fei did not even take a look at it and just signed off without another word.
