I became a farmer in the apocalypse.

The middle-aged woman picked out a potato, paid 73 points, and held it in her hand, very happy. She even asked:

"Are you coming back to set up your stall tomorrow?"

Liu Qing nodded, "Come."

"That's good. I'll buy your potatoes again tomorrow."

One after another, several repeat customers from yesterday came back, and their reviews were very positive. Some even said they would rather not buy any more grain than not buy their potatoes again.

In less than half an hour, a third of the potatoes on the stall were sold, almost all by repeat customers.

Li Tianlei chimed in, "Your business is much better than yesterday. It seems the potatoes are really delicious. I'll buy one to try when you're about to close up shop."

Liu Qing smiled, "60 points per pound, you won't lose out, it's absolutely great value!"

As they were chatting, Liu Qing suddenly saw two familiar figures walking towards them.

It turned out to be the eldest brother, Liu Weidong, and his sister-in-law, Li Qiaozhen.

"Liu Qing?"

When Liu Weidong saw Liu Qing, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

He came to the nearby grain store to buy grain, but he didn't expect to see Liu Qing here. The next second, when he saw Liu Qing setting up a stall, he was even more surprised. Pointing at the large potatoes on Liu Qing's stall, he was so shocked that he could hardly speak, "You—"

"Girl, you're really into business, aren't you?"

Even her sister-in-law, Li Qiaozhen, looked on with surprise.

When Liu Qing went back to her family home before and said she wanted to use her points to do business, everyone thought she was lying!

Liu Qing nodded and said, "This is the third day already. I bring potatoes here to sell every day."

Liu Weidong glanced at the soybeans on the stall, picked them up, and found them heavy.

This is really good stuff!

As long as it's grain, it's a good thing! These days, if you want to do some grain trading, you either have to risk your life to get it, or you have to rely on connections to get it in from outside!

Unexpectedly, his sister actually started such a lucrative business.

Liu Weidong's eyes held a complex expression.

He was silent for a moment before speaking, "Miss, can I talk to you about something?"

Liu Qing asked him, "What is it? Brother, just tell me."

Liu Weidong: "Can I also join you in this business?"

Liu Qing was taken aback. "Aren't you working in a factory? Why are you suddenly going into business again?"

Liu Weidong works in a factory in Zone 3, earning 3700 points a month. He has been working there for several years, and sometimes when the factory is doing well, he can even get some grain or something.

Liu Weidong sighed, the heavy burden causing his shoulders to slump. He said with a bitter expression:

"Didn't your sister-in-law get sick last time? She went to the hospital for a follow-up check-up yesterday, and the doctor said she needs surgery, which will cost more than 40,000 points."

"What?!"

Liu Qing glanced at her sister-in-law, Li Qiaozhen, and sure enough, Li Qiaozhen looked unwell, with red eyes as if she had been crying.

"Oh no, what should we do?"

Liu Weidong hasn't slept a wink all night since receiving the hospital's test results yesterday.

"Girl, this 40,000 points for surgery is way too much. I work in a factory, and after deducting the food expenses for my family of four each month, when will I ever be able to save up for this surgery? But the doctor said that if we delay, it will get worse, and once it gets worse, there will be no cure..."

Liu Qing felt a heavy weight in her heart as she listened.

Although her sister-in-law often complained about her every time she went back over the years, her brother treated her well. The 2500 points she needed for this business were lent to her by Liu Weidong.

After all, they are family, and she didn't want her sister-in-law to get sick. Hearing this news, she naturally felt bad.

"Big brother, how do you plan to do this business with me?" Liu Qing asked.

Liu Weidong: "I have several thousand points on hand right now. My idea is to do what you did and buy some to sell, or you can share some with me to sell. Didn't you say last time that you only needed 50 points to buy these potatoes? If that's true, then I can definitely make a lot of money."

"That's right, the price I paid for these potatoes was 50 points. I'm not lying about that."

"But I can't make that decision myself," Liu Qing said. "I have to ask the person who supplies me if they agree."

She gets her goods from Jiang Li to sell. If she doesn't ask Jiang Li and just distributes the goods she got from her to others to sell, that's definitely not acceptable.

"Yes, yes, yes! This definitely needs the big boss's approval," Liu Weidong said. "Well, sister, if I want to join, shouldn't I give him some gifts or something? Should I buy something to take with me so I can talk to him about it?"

"Otherwise, wouldn't this matter be more difficult to handle?"

Liu Weidong was a little worried, and also a little afraid that this matter would put a lot of pressure on Liu Qing, and that it would also affect her.

Liu Qing thought for a moment, "Brother, don't rush to send the things. Let me ask first."

Liu Weidong nodded hurriedly, "Hey! Okay! Girl, don't push yourself. I don't want to make things difficult for you. If it really doesn't work out, then forget it."

After all, Liu Weidong knew very well that such a good opportunity was something many people would beg for but could not obtain.

Those private farmers and ranchers out there, aren't they all from large families? They spend millions of points a year just on maintaining their guards! Many small business owners are begging to get their goods from them to do business.

Liu Weidong only wanted to seize the opportunity because he had personally witnessed Liu Qing having it, since opportunities to make money are always scarce in this world.

Liu Qing handed a large potato to Liu Weidong. "Brother, you should take your wife back first and let her recover. I'll talk to her about it. But don't get your hopes up too high. If the person who supplied the goods doesn't agree, there's nothing I can do."

Liu Weidong didn't want her potatoes. "This potato can sell for dozens of points. You keep it to sell. Your sister-in-law and I will go to the grain store to buy some coarse rice."

After saying that, he left with Li Qiaozhen.

Li Qiaozhen was in a daze.

She never expected that her sister-in-law would actually start a business. She saw that there were quite a few potatoes on her stall, at least thirty pounds.

According to her, one pound earns 10 points, so 30 pounds would be...

300 points?!

Omg.

Li Qiaozhen looked on incredulously.

It's almost ten thousand a month.

Is this still Liu Qing? She used to be constantly short of rice and had to rely on her family for help, but now she's turned around and is running a business that makes tens of thousands a month!

"Honey, can we do this business?" Li Qiaozhen asked.

She wasn't planning on having the surgery at all, as the 40,000 yuan surgery fee was a huge sum for her family!

Anyway, her life wasn't worth much. She was thinking last night that if God wanted to take her life, then so be it. But when she thought about her two children being motherless in the future, she couldn't accept it.

But if Liu Qing can help them close this deal, then the surgery fee of 40,000 points no longer seems like an unattainable number.

"Didn't I say? Whether it can be done depends on whether the boss above agrees or not." Liu Weidong said, then sighed. "If it can be done, we can earn the money for the surgery in a few months. The doctor said it's okay to delay for a few months."

As he spoke, he squeezed his wife's hand tightly. "Let's go, let's buy some food first. We'll wait for news from the girl. If it really doesn't work out, don't blame her. I'll think of another way to earn points."

"Mm." Li Qiaozhen nodded.
