“Third Sister-in-law, Xu Ba came to look for me this morning,” Meng Yuan said.

“What did he say to you? Is he planning to transfer Xu Chun to another workplace unit? Or does he want you to pass me a message?” Qiao Mei asked expectantly.

Meng Yuan shook his head and continued, “He only apologized to me and said that he would deal with Xu Chun’s matter as soon as possible. He said that Xu Chun won’t pester me anymore, but he didn’t say anything about transferring her out.”

Qiao Mei shook her head in disappointment. It seemed that this Xu Ba still wanted to protect the Xu family. Then again, this was the right thing to do. If Xu Ba did not even bother to protect his own family, then how could he even promise to take care of Li Gui?

“If Xu Chun continues to harass you, you must come and tell me. Don’t be shy,” Qiao Mei reminded him.

“Alright,” said Meng Yuan.

Xia Sun wobbled into the house unsteadily and grabbed Meng Yuan’s hand as he said, “Uncle, come with me to catch dragonflies!”

“Xia Sun! Don’t mess around! How can there be dragonflies in this season! Your uncle has had a tiring day at work. Go and play with Cousin Xia Fan,” Xia Wen said sternly.

Xia Sun pouted aggrievedly. Seeing that he was about to cry, Meng Yuan hurriedly picked him up and said, “Fine, fine, fine. I’ll play with you!”

“Did you grow this batch of fruits using seeds?” Xia Wen said tentatively.

Qiao Mei rolled her eyes in disdain and said, “Eldest Brother, if I don’t use seeds, am I supposed to conjure them out of thin air? If you have something to say, just say it.”

“The higher-ups want to use your seeds to trade with foreign countries,” Xia Wen said factually.

Currently, the country did not have any goods for export and most of the items produced in the country were still quite backward. Since the country was so massive in land size, many smaller countries wanted to import vegetables and fruits from them. However, most of the vegetables harvested in the country could not meet export standards at all. Only the fruits and vegetables from Qiao Mei’s farm could meet those standards.

However, it took too long to transport goods by sea and most of the vegetables and fruits would start to rot during the journey. Therefore, the country wanted to export seeds instead.

“Then how much do you want?” Qiao Mei asked.

“I have done a rough calculation and think that we need eight different types of vegetable seeds. We require two tons of each type,” Xia Wen said.

Qiao Mei raised her eyebrows and looked at Xia Wen. Two tons for each type was not a small amount. The higher-ups’ intent was to empty out her inventory!

Xia Wen quickly added, “Of course! There are benefits! It’s all negotiable!”

“The things the higher-ups can give me are nothing more than money, medals, cars and the like. I don’t lack any of these. Moreover, if I export the seeds myself, I will definitely be able to sell them for a higher price. It will be far more profitable than working with you,” Qiao Mei pointed out.
