Fishing and Hunting 82, Starting with Three Sisters Who Overprotect Their Brothers

Feeling the rough warmth and force from the back of his hand, Zhang Wenshan's heart trembled.

As an orphan, he had never heard anything like it before.

A few simple words can be more powerful than all the compliments and praises you've heard in two lifetimes.

"I'm smart and learn quickly," Zhang Wenshan said, tilting his head back lightly.

Xu Xiulian didn't say anything more and beckoned her youngest daughter to bring out the prepared cornbread.

She knew very well that the two families would most likely not leave food for the child, but they couldn't afford to keep the child there either.

I need to discuss this with my son afterwards.

Working until this late every day, I have to find a way to eat.

"No need, really no need, I have some at home." Lin Cuihua hurriedly waved her hand.

Lang Qiuping remained silent and took two steps back.

"Is there enough food at my mother's house?"

Zhang Wenshan thought for a moment, then turned and asked. Seeing his mother nod, he spoke directly.

"Then stay for a meal. You can pay for it yourself. There'll be plenty of hard work to do from dawn till dusk from now on!"

He had thought about this for a long time, but hadn't found the opportunity to bring it up. Now was the perfect time.

"I think it's a good idea." Lin Cuihua's eyes lit up.

Even if her family leaves her food, it probably won't be warm, so she might as well pay to eat at the team leader's house.

Ge Ergui nodded: "I have no objection either."

He only needs to eat his fill so the rest of the family isn't hungry, saving him the trouble of going home and messing around with the cooking.

In the past, they certainly wouldn't have made this decision, but having witnessed Zhang Wenshan's ability to make money, everyone felt a surge of ambition.

"Then it's settled. We'll discuss the specific cost and arrangements later."

Zhang Wenshan glanced at Lang Qiuping, who had his head down, and said.

"Qiuping is here to help with his studies, so shouldn't we provide him with meals?"

Xu Xiulian immediately nodded and said, "Of course."

"Stop standing there, hurry up and finish eating so you can go home and sleep. We have to get up early tomorrow." Zhang Wenshan made the final decision without further ado.

During the meal.

Lin Cuihua, Ge Ergui, and Lang Qiuping were all very excited, constantly describing the scene of catching snails, and praising Zhang Wenshan as something unparalleled.

Everyone dispersed only after it was completely dark.

After helping to clear the table, Zhang Wenshan continued to instruct his older sister on how to do the accounts.

"The fine-scaled fish cost five dollars and twenty-five cents, the wild duck was split in half for six dollars and thirty-seven cents, the braised pork and rice cost three dollars and thirty cents, and the ingredients cost two dollars and twenty cents."

"Is there 6.22 yuan left?"

After settling the accounts, Zhang Fengxia was stunned.

I was so busy during the day that I was constantly on my feet, and I just watched the money go by like water. I never expected that I would still have so much left.

"My God, more than six dollars?" Xu Xiulian gasped.

She spent the whole afternoon thinking about how to persuade her son to tone it down. Even if he wanted to establish a reputation for making money and bring Lang Qiuping over, it didn't have to be as simple as braised pork and rice.

Is that something they can eat?

"Boss, didn't you count the split?" Zhang Jianshe couldn't help but ask, his voice trembling.

When did making money become so easy?

The workers in town only earn thirty or forty yuan a month, while my son only earns six yuan a day?

This is the figure after a lot of money was spent.

"That's right." Zhang Wenhui had already moved closer to her eldest sister, glanced at the account book, and then turned to stare intently at her younger brother.

A few days ago he said he was waiting for the formalities, and I thought he was just saying that to save face.

How easy is it to save up 20 or 30 yuan?

It looks like it can be done in five or six days!

"There's one more thing I forgot." Zhang Wenshan laughed and handed a one-yuan coin to the older woman. "You don't want your wages anymore?"

"Take it back quickly." Zhang Fengxia pulled her arm away as if it were burning her.

"We agreed that we'd get paid for our work."

"What am I worth?"

"Why wouldn't it be worth it? You started working before dawn, doing more work than anyone else!" Zhang Wenshan teased her. "I actually think you're not getting enough, and I'm worried your brother-in-law will complain."

"He wouldn't dare!" Zhang Fengxia slammed her hand on the table. Zhao Hongwei, holding his son in his arms, was so frightened that he waved his hands frantically.

"Take it, sis. You won't have any left in a while."

"What?" Zhang Fengxia asked in confusion, not bothering to refuse, and the others also turned to look at her.

"The brigade should be able to issue the certificate for individual business operations soon," Zhang Wenshan said with a smile. "Third Sister, how's it going on your end?"

"The teacher said the paperwork can be done anytime." Zhang Wenhui nodded and didn't mention the money again.

"Once you get the license, you'll have to run your own business, and how much you earn depends entirely on your skills."

"Can I...can I do it?" Zhang Fengxia's throat was dry, her fingers were trembling, and her eyes swept over her parents and husband one by one.

I've mentioned this before, but it always seemed so far away. I never imagined it would be right in front of me in the blink of an eye.

I don't know anything!

"What are you afraid of! We'll start as partners and split up once we've established a solid foundation," Zhang Wenshan said with a smile, offering reassurance with hope in his eyes.

Once my older sister is able to independently receive and sell goods.

The days when you can simply lie down and do things based on intelligence if you want to, or just do nothing if you don't, are coming.

"That's good." Zhang Fengxia patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief. "I'm relieved now. If anyone really does crack down on speculation, I'll take the blame."

Everyone thought this was perfectly normal.

Even her brother-in-law didn't object.

Zhang Wenshan sighed and was about to explain the situation.

Third Sister suddenly said, "No, even if there's a small chance of it happening, you'll most likely be fine."

This was a tongue twister, and everyone was baffled.

This left everyone completely bewildered.

Zhang Wenhui looked at her younger brother and said, "My teacher analyzed that the wind direction from above won't change; at most, the implementation below will be more or less strict. We're in a pilot area, so the risk is low."

She turned to Zhang Fengxia and said, "I guess the goods that the eldest sister received mainly came from the village. If she gets caught, the whole village will be implicated."

Besides, with his underlings nominally running a poverty alleviation fishing and hunting group, no one would dare stir up a hornet's nest.

Schools these days really teach things!

Zhang Wenshan secretly admired her; his third sister had already outlined most of his plan in just a few words.

Although limited by information, I did not fully grasp the importance of individual business licenses and the significance of seizing the market.

"So, this is risk-free?" Xu Xiulian pondered for a while before tentatively asking.

"Theoretically, no." The third sister remained cautious.

"The Hama Pond can't function without me, and the fishing and hunting team will fall apart without me. If I do these two things well, the team will definitely report it to higher authorities."

If something happens to my older sister, I'll just step aside. Conversely, once she's established herself, if I fall from grace, she can lend a hand!

Zhang Wenshan explained his plan in plain language, making it easy for anyone to understand.

"Isn't it a bit unfair to do this?" Zhang Jianshe asked hesitantly.

"How is that unfair?" Xu Xiulian turned her head and said irritably, "Who has my son wronged? Hasn't he contributed to the village? If he makes money in the future and the team doesn't help him, I'll hang myself at their door."

"Pah, pah, pah, it's not that bad, it's not that bad, Mother."

Zhang Wenshan quickly stopped them, and his two older sisters also came over to persuade them, not forgetting to glare at their father.

Old Zhang shrank his neck.

He swallowed the rest of his words.

Oh well, children and grandchildren have their own destinies.

If something really happens, it's just a matter of throwing my old bones into the grave.
