791 Considering Repairing the Roads

Qiao Mei felt that this was very normal. This mountain did not belong to their family, so it was normal for someone to pick stuff from the mountain. Even if the ginseng was dug up, it was not a big thing.

"Grandfather, let's leave tomorrow night. I've already packed everything. You can take a look if there's anything else you want to bring along," Qiao Mei said.

Qiao Qiang did not even have much clothes, so he did not have much to pack. He had already packed everything on the day they agreed to move.

"Have you spoken to your mother?" Qiao Qiang asked.

Qiao Mei nodded. Everything was settled very nicely. As long as nothing went wrong with the handover of the seeds tomorrow, everything would definitely go smoothly!

However, things did not go as smoothly as Qiao Mei had imagined. Early in the morning, Wang Qin found out that the children in their family could not go to school. It was like a bolt from the blue.

"What did you say?! Zhao Liang! Why can't my child go to school?!" Wang Qin questioned as she looked at the joint petition.

Zhao Liang only came to inform Wang Qin, and the rest was really none of his business.

"This is the opinion of all the parents in the school, not me. If you have time to argue with me, you might as well go and ask those people who put their names down. Also, you've been on leave for almost half a month. If you don't come back to work soon, I'll go and ask the leader for a change in staff. I've done my best by delaying taking this action for half a month." Zhao Liang left after saying that.

This joint petition was not the original copy. It did not matter even if Wang Qin tore it up. He still had to hurry to Qiao Mei's place to collect his money! Several trucks had entered the village today, which was a big deal.

"Mei Mei, the mountain roads to your village are really too difficult to maneuver. It's not easy for us to drive in!" He Guang wiped the sweat on his forehead and said helplessly.

Their village was built on the mountain. Not only were the roads steep, but the distance between each house was also unevenly spaced. The trucks could travel on some roads easily, but some roads were difficult to get through.

This time, he had sent three trucks. They were supposed to reach Qiao Mei's house after 40 minutes, but they drove for a full hour and a half!

This was something that needed more planning in the future.

Qiao Mei looked at the countryside roads thoughtfully. This is a matter that could only be resolved if everyone contributed money. After they made more money in the future, they would naturally be able to repair the roads. At the moment, the mention of the issue of repairing the roads would probably make everyone feel conflicted. It would cost a lot of money for the repairs.

"Uncle, it's been hard on you. Come with me to the house to take a look." Qiao Mei brought them into the house to carry the goods. There were so many seeds that it would take the three drivers a long time to do the loading.

Qiao Mei was about to reach out to help when He Guang stopped her. He Guang was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. Each sack weighed 50 pounds. If Qiao Mei got hurt, he would be in serious trouble. At that time, Chen Hu would definitely skin him alive!

"Please spare me. These people were arranged by your Uncle Hu. If they go back and tell your Uncle Hu, see if I'll still be alive and standing in front of you next time. Take good care of the money. Here's 10,000 dollars, all in loose change. I did what you asked for." He Guang handed a large paper bag to Qiao Mei.

Qiao Mei looked at the money bag in a daze. It would probably be very troublesome when distributing the money later.

"Uncle, aren't you going to open up the bags to take a look? You don't look like you're here to acquire stock," Qiao Mei said with a smile.

Usually, when purchasers acquired stock, they would require each bag to be emptied to check the quantity, quality and whether it met the agreed standards. This was the custom of the supply and marketing cooperative when they collected bean sprouts. Not a single defective product was allowed. Everything had to be perfect.

He Guang waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "You've already given me all the seeds the previous round to do the trial. How can I not trust you? This is the money for the seeds you gave me. If there's any excess, take it as my gift to you."

He Guang took out another 1,000 dollars from his pocket and handed it to Qiao Mei. His food factory had always been looked down upon. Even if they handled the same imported products as others, they did not make as much money as the rest. Now that he was the sole distributor of Foshan Seeds, not only was the factory's business booming, but its reputation was also gradually improving. All of this was thanks to Qiao Mei.

Qiao Mei did not refuse and directly handed the 1,000 dollars to Li Gui. She thought that Qiao Mei did not have anywhere to keep the money and wanted her to help keep the money safe.
