Super Farming Tycoon Novel - Chapter 250

250 Heartache for Gu Qingming

Mo Ronghua and her husband continued to stay.

When they stayed behind, they heard something that surprised them.

“Ha, Mingming wants to contract the fields?” Mrs. Mo looked very surprised. “Why does this child want to contract the fields?”

Could it be that the billions of assets in the family were not enough for her to inherit?

!!
Or did she not intend to inherit the family business and only wanted to farm?

Mo Ronghua was also a little surprised that Gu Qingming had such plans.

Could it be that this child had rebelled? Had she had enough of being a rich young lady and wanted to live a different life?

Grandma smiled and said, “We don’t know why this child wants to contract the land, but since she likes it, we’ll let her!”

Mo Ronghua and his wife were speechless. What an open-minded grandparent.

Mo Ronghua asked hesitantly, “Auntie, have Mingming’s parents agreed too?”

This child was the only heir of the Gu Corporation. Shouldn’t she be learning how to manage the company and acquire financial knowledge?

Grandma smiled and said, “They all agree. As long as the child is happy and the child likes it, we’ll let her be!”

Mo Ronghua and her husband were speechless.

With such… pampering… the child actually remained well-bred. It was really thanks to the good genes of the two families.

However, now that this child was their daughter-in-law, they could continue to pamper her.

Mo Ronghua nodded. “That’s right. As long as the child doesn’t steal, rob, kill, or commit arson, she can do whatever she wants.”

Grandma smiled and said, “Some time ago, in June and July, Mingming got someone to build a greenhouse to plant rice. You don’t know, but not only did these greenhouse rice not suffer from insect diseases, but the yield was also increased. The steamed rice made from the harvest was really fragrant. I’ve lived for so long, but I’ve never eaten such fragrant rice. I didn’t expect that such fragrant rice was actually planted by my granddaughter.”

“In the past, we’ve only heard of greenhouse vegetables and greenhouse fruits, but we never knew that there was such a thing as greenhouse rice. This greenhouse rice attracts few pests and doesn’t need pesticides. The fertilizer used is also organic fertilizer from farmers. Therefore, this rice can be said to be natural green food.”

When her grandmother mentioned Gu Qingming’s greenhouse rice, she talked non-stop, looking very happy and proud.

“The production of rice in this greenhouse is also very high. Ordinary cultivation can produce at most 1,500 to 1,600 catties per acre, but our greenhouse produces more than 1,500 catties per square meter. Such an astonishing production surprised the villagers. Many people thought that they could try to cultivate greenhouse rice next year. However, the purchase price of rice is not high compared to the high cost of building a greenhouse. It won’t be possible to recoup the cost for a few years just planting rice.”

Upon hearing Grandmother’s words, Mo Ronghua and her husband were astonished.

Mo Ronghua said happily, “I didn’t expect Mingming to be so capable.”

Grandma nodded and said, “That’s right. We didn’t expect Ming’er to give us such a big surprise. You have to know that she’s a girl who’s afraid of little bugs. Even when she plucks a vegetable, her hands will be pricked red by the vegetables. In order to learn how to manage the rice in the greenhouse, not only did she buy a large number of books, but she also personally went to the farm to weed and catch bugs. Sometimes, the seedlings are so sharp that they cut her fair hand but she didn’t even make a sound.”

As she praised her granddaughter, her heart ached.

Ming’er had never suffered in life.

At home, there was not even a single fruit that she had to wash. It was all washed by the servants at home, cut, and placed in front of her for her to enjoy.

However, after staying in the countryside for so long, she learned how to do rural work.

“This child is really serious and hardworking!” Mrs. Mo’s heart ached. “Moreover, she’s pregnant. It’s even harder!”

“That’s right!” Grandma nodded and said, “But this child is just as stubborn as her mother. As long as she decides on what to do, she must do it well and do it seriously. Regardless of whether she succeeds or fails, at least she has worked hard!”

Mo Ronghua asked, “How much land does she plan to contract now?”

Grandma smiled and said, “She said to contract 200 acres of land first and take a look at everything before expanding the planting area in the future!”

“200 acres is not small!” Mo Ronghua sighed. “Are you planning to continue planting greenhouse rice or do you want to do something else with the land?”

“Yes, some of them would be for cultivating greenhouse rice, and the rest for growing vegetables and fruits,” Grandma replied. However, she said worriedly, “However, I don’t know if we can rent 200 acres of land.”

“Why not?” Mo Ronghua asked doubtfully. “I heard that many young people are working outside of the village now. The elderly and children who are left behind won’t be able to farm much, right?”

He had heard all of this when he was strolling around the village these few days.

“That’s true, but those old people are very reluctant to part with these fields. Even if they don’t have much land to plant now, they more or less want to plant some. They feel more at ease and safe.”

Grandma, who had also lived a hard life, understood these people’s thoughts very well.

“There are more than 200 households in the village. In terms of farmland, it’s quite a lot. Every household has at least one acre of land, and at most seven acres of land. The land in the entire village adds up to at least 400 acres,” Grandma said. “It sounds like a lot, and to implement the contract, it means that we hill face some difficulty with those people who do not wish to rent out the land.”

Mo Ronghua said, “Then raise the rent!”

As a businessman, he knew that only profit could move people.

“That’s true, but we can’t raise the rent at will!” Grandma said sharply. “Once it’s high, we’ll have to pay more to rent in the future. Won’t people take the opportunity to profit from it?”

Mrs. Mo echoed, “That’s true!”

“Now, let’s try and talk to the villagers.” Grandmother said, “Actually, a lot of the land is already abandoned. It is also a waste. If they rent it out, they can even receive a sum of rent. I believe that there are people who are willing to rent it out. This is only a small portion, and the plots are also segregated. When the time comes, renting separate pieces of land will be troublesome!”

It was best to rent the land together. It would be more nimble and convenient to do anything.

Mo Ronghua asked, “Have you started talking to the villagers?”

“Not yet,” Grandmother said, shaking her head. “These old people say they’ll wait for the young people to come back before making plans.”

“Auntie, if you trust me, leave this matter to me. I’ll go negotiate with the villagers!” Mo Ronghua smiled. “I’ll definitely give the Shi family and the villagers a satisfactory answer!”
