There is a dragon in my fish pond

Chapter 9 Contracting Fish Ponds?

This woman is called Hu Lan.

For example, Chen Li, who asked for 30 dowry from the Li family, is Hu Lan's daughter. Chen Li's husband died three years ago, and she is the eldest daughter of Hu Lan, who is one year older than Li Yaping.

She also has a youngest daughter, Chen Jing, who is one year younger than Li Yafan.

Hu Lan has no sons, only two daughters, so she always thinks of marrying off one of her daughters, asking for more gift money, and then using the money to recruit a son-in-law at home, so that there will be hope in the future.

Originally the eldest daughter, Chen Li, had taken a fancy to Li Yaping, but Hu Lan refused, insisting on asking for 30 yuan in gift money, and not living in front of her daughter, saying that the girl from whose family had the highest gift, and her husband's family had a high status.

So Chen Li also acquiesced in the 30 betrothal gift. After all, in the families of the two brothers in the countryside, they all felt that the betrothal gift was not for nothing.

But Hu Lan didn't expect that the Li family, which has two sons who love face, didn't agree, and borrowed money from other families to lend money to the eldest son to marry a wife, so the daughter Chen Li was angry with her at home.

Hu Lan was here to relax at the threshing ground, who knew Jin Xiulian was sitting in a wheelchair with thousands of dollars, and immediately rolled her eyes at her very impolitely.

"That's a matter for our Li family. My brother wants to start a business first and then start a family. It's not up to you to decide whether he has the ability to make his wife live a good life..."

Li Yafan appeared in time. He was worried that it would be inconvenient for his mother to use a wheelchair for the first time, so he followed him to the threshing field.

Hearing Hu Lan's mouth full of spouts, he couldn't help coaxing a word, and he became angry when he said it. It's because the mountain village is too poor, the girls' families are all married out, and the local boys can't get a wife.

Otherwise, a second-married person would receive a 30 dowry as soon as she opened her mouth. How lucky is she to ask for it?

After Li Yafan finished coaxing Hu Lan, he politely greeted the surrounding villagers, and then sat down and ignored Hu Lan. Such a woman does not deserve too much attention.

But Hu Lan jumped up and wanted to swear, but seeing a group of people greeting Li Yafan, she felt uncomfortable. She felt that the people in the village were too powerful, and they were all surrounded by Li Yafan?
What is he, a college student who can't even find a job and goes back to the countryside?
But thinking like this, Hu Lan is probably the only one. To other people in the village, the Li family is poor, but the people are good, especially his family Li Yafan, who can be regarded as a scholar.

Scholars are considered reasonable people there.

Seeing her son defending herself, Jin Xiulian made Hu Lan speechless as soon as she opened her mouth, and she couldn't help but smile on her face. The son still didn't raise her in vain, and she always remembered her mother's kindness.

On the threshing ground, there was a man in his forties, who was moaning sadly. Li Yaping knew Lei Jianmin from the village. It turned out that his fish pond had bottomed out and all the fish had died.

"There are no fish in your fish pond. You haven't put fish fry in three years. If there are any, there are only some small shrimps..."

On the one hand, Li Yafan's aunt couldn't help but tease that there are many fish ponds in Lei Jianmin's house, four or five large and small, but because they haven't been dug deep, they are almost all shallow. As long as there is less rain, his fish ponds will have no water up.

So although there are many fish ponds in his family, he didn't make much money, and his family's life was not very good.

"My fish pond is not good. I'm thinking about contracting it out, because I want to go out to work, and my children need money to go to school..."

Lei Jianming sighed. Although there were many problems with his fish pond, he wondered if he could get some money if he contracted it out?

But when Lei Jianming said this, many people on the threshing floor laughed.

Because I think his idea is too beautiful, because the backing mountain village has a lot of mountains and water, almost every family has fish ponds of different sizes, and Lei Jianmin's fish pond is too small, the smallest is only two or three acres of land.

Such a small fish pond, who would want to contract it, he is really dreaming...

Li Yafan's eyes lit up, he really wanted to sleep and met his pillow. There are many fish ponds in Kaoshan Village, but most of them have been contracted to individuals, but many people go out to work.

The fishponds are deserted, coupled with poor management, and some are reluctant to invest. The contracting time has been long, the fishponds have not been cleaned of silt, and the water is too shallow and often dry up, so the fishponds in the mountain villages are worthless.

"Brother Jianmin, is what you said true or false, do you really want to contract the fish pond?"

"Really, it's more real than pearls. Brother, do you have a way? If there is, don't forget brother. Help me to contract or sell it. The price is easy to negotiate. I'm short of money..."

Lei Jianming was crying. He was really short of money. The child was studying in the town, and the monthly living expenses and tuition and miscellaneous fees were very expensive.

"Oh, if you really want to contract or resell, think about it, how much do you want?"

Lei Jianmin has several fish ponds next to Li's fish ponds, and Li Yafan thinks that if the price is not expensive, he has his own plans.

It's just that Li Yafan didn't expect that almost everyone on the field would look at him when he said these words.

Surprised, curious and excited.

The one who was excited was Lei Jianmin, who was having a headache about money. If the fish pond could be turned into money, it would be a wonderful thing.

At this moment, he wished he could stand up and hold Li Yafan in his arms and kiss him. He only felt that Li Yafan really seemed to come at the right time.

"For 1 yuan a year, all five of my fish ponds can be contracted out, and a contract can be signed for ten or twenty years..."

When Lei Jianmin said this, there was an uproar, and some people curled their lips.

"Tsk tsk, you are an idiot. The largest fish pond in the village costs less than 5000 yuan a year. You need 1 yuan. Hehe, how can money be so easy?"

Hu Lan's melon seed shells are flying around. She knows that money is hard to earn, and she wants 30 from the Li family?

"I, I'm not setting a price first. If someone wants it, you can counter the price. Brother, if you have a way, help me find someone to contract it. I will treat you to a drink. The good wine that has been hidden for ten years..."

Lei Jianmin looked at Li Yafan eagerly now, as if he put all his hopes on him.

"Well, well, I have to go back. If you really want to contract out, come to me in the afternoon, and then we will talk in detail..."

The threshing ground was full of people, but there were too many people talking. Li Yafan planned to invest the first sum of money in contracting these unremarkable fish ponds.

"Okay, brother is all thanks to you..."

The frowning Lei Jianmin almost circled around Li Yafan, but he pondered for a long time in his heart, but he couldn't figure out where Li Yafan could come from to contract out his family's fish pond?

It wasn't until he went down to Li's house that he found out that Li Yafan planned to directly contract his family's fish pond.

This surprised and delighted Lei Jianmin.

The joy is that they are finally rich, and the surprise is that they are all from the same village. This Li family originally had its own fish pond, but why contracted his family's fish pond?
What on earth does the kid from the Li family want to do?
