Chapter 558: Chapter 558: Earning Money by Selling Grain

That’s good to know.

I was afraid you would feel inferior again.

"Go to sleep early."

Yun Xiaoxiao stood up and went back to her room.

"Are you done talking?"

Yun Xiaoxiao looked at him, "My little sister will probably accept Officer Wang’s courtship soon. When the Wang Family disdains her, as her cousin, you should stand up for her, right?"

Zhao Tianlei also guessed that it might be because of his little cousin’s divorced status that the Wang Family would mind.

"We can only wait and see at that time."

Talking about it now is all empty talk.

He hadn’t even officially met Officer Wang yet.

For now, his mother was still in the Capital City.

Yun Xiaoxiao didn’t say anything, as she had just fed her little cousin such a big pot of chicken soup and needed to let her digest it properly.

When you’re young, your vision is somewhat shortsighted.

But once you mature and become more steady, your sight extends further, and you think further ahead.

"Right, now that the fields have been allotted to households back home, we can’t let them just keep planting crops."

Once their family becomes wealthy, they will certainly be the envy of others, and who knows what they might do.

"Wife, what are you thinking?"

Yun Xiaoxiao had already visited the picking garden.

"One type of fruit, one type of herb, let them choose."

"Herbs are worth more money these days."

Fruit takes several years to bear fruit, but some herbs can be harvested within a year of planting.

"Talk to your mother about this. When it comes to planting herbs, you have to consider the land. Some soil is suitable for growing herbs, and some is not, but what about fruit? Some fruit trees are drought-tolerant, and some need water consistently?"

"I’ll go to the library tomorrow and look through some books on herbs. I don’t even know if I’ll be able to buy them?"

After all, traditional Chinese medicine had been suppressed in previous years, and many books on it had been destroyed.

"Wife, you’ve worked hard."

She didn’t find it hard at all.

As the wife of the Team Leader’s youngest son, she should be doing this kind of thinking.

If some people don’t want to listen, then that’s none of her concern.

Whether it’s fruit or herbs, both can make money, because these days, both are in great demand in the market.

The prices are certainly not cheap.

It’s important to seize the market first.

The next day, at breakfast, Zhao Tianlei mentioned this idea.

"Third Brother, you’re talking about planting herbs?"

Mrs. Zhao also became somewhat interested.

This year was the first time their team had divided the fields among households.

With this talk of plants now, what about the crops?

"Use the land to grow herbs, and the fields can still be used to grow crops. The market really needs herbs right now, and the prices are not cheap. Planting herbs is more profitable than growing crops. If I wasn’t worried that our villagers would become jealous of us making money, why would I care whether our villagers grow crops or herbs?"

There was nothing wrong with what he said.

"Third Brother, you’re absolutely right. When I went home this time to bring back my aunt-in-law, quite a few people asked me about where I work, wondering if they needed more labor. They said they were willing to work for a lower salary."

They were a few who had managed to get out.

But there were so many people in the village still farming at home.

It’s inevitable that they had other thoughts.

"Then send a telegram to your dad and tell him about this. Otherwise, when the crops are harvested, there will certainly be many who will plan to sell some."

Mrs. Zhao was being somewhat indirect.

If the price of crops was right, many people in the village would sell some.

Now that they had the crops in their hands, they were no longer short of food and naturally wanted to sell crops to make money.

"I think it’s a good idea. Growing these herbs can make more money than growing crops. Didn’t I buy some codonopsis the other day to stew with chicken? Just for a few roots, it cost several dollars."

How much is corn and rice per pound?

Everyone looked at Grandma Fang, surprised that she would say something like this.
