After returning to the countryside to farm, I brought the whole village to become rich

Chapter 245 Persuasion

About five or six years ago, Mrs. Fang suddenly fell down at home one day. Fortunately, her neighbor next door saw her and rushed her to the health center in the town.

The village chief informed Fang Jianhua.

That night, Fang Jianhua drove back and picked him up.

A few months later, Fang Jianhua came back with the old lady's ashes and buried them on the mountain behind the village.

Since then, Fang Jianhua has had little contact with the villagers and rarely comes back;

I only come back every year during the Qingming Festival to visit the old lady’s grave. I come and leave on the same day, so I don’t live in the village.

That building has always been vacant.

Many people in the village are greedy, but they can only be greedy. They cannot afford houses worth hundreds of thousands, and those who can afford them have already gone to the city to buy them.

This house has only been vacant for a few years, and its aging is not serious. It can be moved in immediately after a simple renovation;

The two-and-a-half-story house has many rooms and a large usable area, which meets Shen Qiuqiu's needs.

If Fang Jianhua is willing to sell, Shen Qiuqiu wants to buy it directly.

Although you already have an idea in mind, buying a house is a big deal, so you still need to listen to your grandparents’ opinions.

During lunch, Shen Qiuqiu told her grandparents about this.

Grandma Shen was a little confused, "What, you want to buy the small western-style house where Jianhua's family lives? What's so good about living in that western-style house? It doesn't touch the earth and is not as comfortable as our small house."

Grandpa Shen also had a look of disapproval on his face, "Why buy it? The house needs to be popular to support it. That house has been empty for so many years and it has long since expired. It is not comfortable to live in."

Afraid of disappointing his granddaughter, the old man said very proudly: "If Xiaohua wants to live in a big house, grandpa will build one for you when the grapes are sold this year."

The house they live in now was built when Grandpa Shen was very young, and it is already quite old now.

Building a new house for the family has been the motivation for the old man’s struggle over the years.

This is also Shen Qiuqiu's wish.

She has been working hard to save money since she started working, so that she can build a new house for her family so that her grandparents can live in a spacious and bright house and enjoy their old age in peace.

Now that I have money in hand, building a new house can be put on the agenda.

Shen Qiuqiu said with a smile: "Grandpa, we don't have to wait to sell the grapes. Let's build a big house now and try to celebrate the New Year in the new house."

The old couple was confused again by her.

"What do you mean by buying and building a house at the same time? There are only a few people in our family, and we can't live in so many houses."

"Our old house will definitely have to be demolished and rebuilt. It will take at least several months. Our whole family must have a place to live. This is only one aspect, there is another, more important reason."

Shen Qiuqiu put down the bowl and chopsticks, patiently explained to the two elders, and shared his thoughts one by one.

"Since we started selling strawberries, our house has never been quiet. People come and go every day; foam boxes, cardboard boxes, tape, and bubble cotton are piled all over the yard in a mess, making it uncomfortable for you to live in.

The grapes will be ripe in two months. This year I am not going to wholesale them to fruit shops like last year. Just like strawberries, I will also sell them online. I will be even busier by then, and I will have to invite more people, and my family will also be busy. It will be more messy.

Next month we will plant passion flowers, which can be harvested in October. With more than 20 acres of passion flowers, we may not even have a place to set foot on them at home;

The local specialties from our village are also selling well online. I want to collect more goods and start making them properly, but there is no room for them in the small warehouse at home.

In addition to not having enough space, we also don’t have enough people.

Online stores require operation and management, and packaging and delivery also require specialized management. We cannot keep an eye on it all by ourselves.

There is so much to do that we simply can’t keep ourselves busy.

So, I also want to hire a few people to help us do these things. It's not temporary workers like Uncle Wang and others who only come to work for a few days; they have to sign a labor contract with others, come to work on time every day, and pay them monthly wages.

This is my plan. I will buy Fang Jianhua’s house and renovate it. We will move in there first and then we can start construction on the old house.

It's a big place over there and it's convenient to do things.

There are two warehouses built in the yard, and there is room to put the recovered mountain goods and cartons of sundries.

It is also convenient for newly hired employees to work there.

After the new house is built, we will move back to live there; it will be used exclusively for offices. "

Shen Qiuqiu said a lot in one breath.

The old couple listened quietly, understanding some things and not others.

Grandma Shen thought for a while and said, "I heard that Fang Jianhua's house was not cheap to build. The asking price will definitely not be low, so it is not cost-effective to buy. There are several empty houses in our village. Let's just rent any one and it will only take a few months." You said you want to have an office or something, so let’s build the new house bigger and build it at home, which saves money and is more convenient. We also have a warehouse built in our yard. Rhubarb will guard it every day, so we won’t be afraid of thieves.”

After all, the old lady just cares about money.

She didn't understand that the reason why Shen Qiuqiu wanted to separate his home and office was not only to make his home quieter, but also to make his career bigger and stronger.

"Grandma..." Shen Qiuqiu wanted to continue explaining to grandma.

Grandpa Shen, who had been silent for a long time, coughed and said to Grandma Shen: "Forget it, we don't understand these things, so don't get involved in it. Since Xiaohua wants to do this, she must have her reasons, let's listen to her of."

Hundreds of thousands is no small thing...

Grandma Shen opened her mouth, then swallowed her words back, "Okay, just listen to Xiaohua."

My granddaughter is a college student and a strong-willed person, so just let her do whatever she wants.

Shen Xiuan listened to the whole process quietly without making any comments; she knew that these matters were not her responsibility, as long as she had a place to live.

The matter was settled.

After lunch, Grandpa Shen did not go to the fields as usual, but took Shen Qiuqiu to the east end of the village.

The grandfather and grandson were going to check out the condition of Fang Jianhua's house.

A villager greeted Grandpa Shen on the road, "Uncle, what are you doing at noon?"

Grandpa Shen smiled and replied casually, "Hey, don't do anything, just walk around the village."

Don't talk about things that didn't work out. It would be bad if something went wrong.

The grandfather and grandson arrived at the place after walking for about ten minutes.

The first thing that catches the eye is a magnificent aluminum gate. The three-meter-high wall is made of granite, which looks very beautiful and grand.

The door was closed, and there was an iron chain on the door handle, and a big lock hung on it.

The door lock was broken, so Grandpa Shen stretched out his hand and pushed it open. However, because the door handle was tied with an iron chain, he could only open a gap as wide as his palm.

Looking through the cracks, we can see that the yard is overgrown with weeds and desolate; the original concrete floor has cracked, and many wild flowers and weeds have grown out of the cracks, growing wantonly.

A beautiful white building stands alone among the weeds.

From a distance, there is nothing wrong with the appearance of the house, but it is unknown what is going on inside.
