Chapter 421: Talk

The villagers were still discussing among themselves!

“However, how did such an expensive watermelon get sold?”

“That’s right! I find it unbelievable! Last year, Shi Lichun’s watermelon was sold for five to six dollars. I thought it was extremely expensive! I didn’t expect it to be sold for a sky-high price of 16 dollars! Is anyone going to buy such an expensive watermelon?”

“Someone must have bought it! They’ve already sold such expensive vegetables, but there’s not enough to sell now! If watermelons can be sold at this price, they can definitely be sold! Didn’t you hear that? Didn’t Shi Hangyu say that someone has set a quantity of 2,000 catties daily? 2,000 catties a day, 16 dollars per catty, 2,000 catties. How much is that?! More than 30,000 dollars! A day’s income is more than our annual income!”

“It’s really infuriating to compare with other people! The rich are richer, and the poor are even poorer! The world is a little unfair!”

“How is it unfair? Life now is much better than when we didn’t have enough to cat and clothes to wear!” The old man who had lived a hard life in the past said, “As long as you’re not lazy, you can live a good life now! As for those rich people, they earned it with their own abilities.”

“Ha, I think Auntie Zhang is right! They got rich through their own abilities. If you want to envy others and want to have so much money, you have to rely on your own ability!”

“The Gu family is indeed rich, but they did sell their watermelons at a high price with their ability. No matter how envious we are, we can’t be envious!”

“Hehe, as long as their family’s things sell well, we’ll have more and more work to do! Moreover, the Shi family’s salary is not low! In a month, we’ll have close to 3,000 dollars. It’s much better than farming ourselves!”

“That’s right! I’m already satisfied that I can earn some money every month while taking care of my children at home! At least we old fellows aren’t burdening the young!”

“Indeed, young people nowadays are under a lot of pressure! They have the elderly and the children to support! Raising them now is unlike in the past when they only need to be fed! Now, they need money for everything! Especially for children. The expenses are even greater! Milk powder, diapers, education, all of these require money!”

“Sigh, that’s right! In the past, we only wanted to eat our fill! Now, we earn money to build a house and buy a car. We want to live better!”

“Shh, don’t talk first. Listen to what Shi Hangyu and Little Gu have to say!”

Shi Hangyu looked at the watermelons planted in the watermelon shed. All of them were round, cute, and lively. He was both happy and a little worried.

After all, these were watermelons that covered close to 60 acres of land. It was not 5 to 6 acres of land, but 200,000 to 300,000 catties! And the price was so high. Could they really sell it all?!

Shi Hangyu asked, “Sister, can Wenwen really buy so many watermelons from our family? This is 200,000 to 300,000 catties. Why is the price so expensive?”

Gu Qingming shook her head and smiled. “Big Brother, don’t worry! Wenwen’s business is very big. It’s even expanded overseas. Our family only has around 200,000 catties. It’s simply a small business! As for the price, you don’t have to worry even more! In the past, she bought organic watermelons from overseas. These were even more expensive. One catty cost 40 to 50 dollars! Every business deal is at least 400,000 for 50,000 catties!”

Shi Hangyu was so shocked that he could not believe it!

“How can there be such expensive watermelons?”

In his consciousness, the purchase price of watermelons was only a few cents!
