Chapter 257 - 257 Land Rental Crisis (4)



When Shi Bangjian saw them arrive, he immediately grinned and said, “Aiyo, what brings you here?”

Shi Lichun said candidly, “Bangjian, let me be direct. Are you going to rent out that piece of land on Flat Mountain?”

Shi Bangjian smiled and said, “I’m sorry, but I still have to plant the land myself. I plan to plant watermelons next year!”

“Is that so?” Shi Lichun looked at him suspiciously. “Oh, it seems like you already have an arrangement for that land!”

“Yes!” Shi Bangjian nodded and said, “However, if you really want to rent the land, it’s not impossible to rent it to you!”

“Oh, really?” Shi Lichun asked in disbelief, “Then what do you mean by sincerely wanting to rent the land?”

“Hehe…” Shi Bangjian laughed and said meaningfully, “You can be as sincere as you want.”

Shi Hangyu frowned and muttered in dissatisfaction, “What sincerity? You just want more money. You make yourself sound so noble.

Shi Lichun was speechless. Why was this brat telling the truth?

Shi Bangjian was also dumbfounded,

Shi Hangyu, that bastard. Why should I rent the land to you? Isn’t it good for me to plant it myself?

Gu Qingming sized up this middle-aged man, Shi Bangjian. His skin was tanned, but a scheming glint flashed across his eyes.

She didn’t say anything, but her lips curled up.

After being exposed by Shi Hangyu, Shi Lichun did not waste his breath on Shi Bangjian anymore. He asked directly, “Then tell me directly. How much do you want for you to rent it?”

Shi Bangjian opened five fingers.

“500 dollars?” Shi Lichun looked at it and asked, “Your land is considered a medium-sized field. Logically speaking, the rent is 400 dollars per acre. It’s not impossible for you to ask for 500 dollars, but isn’t this a little unfair to the other villagers?”

He thought that Shi Bangjian was making things difficult for them by asking for a high rent, but in the end, he asked for 500 yuan. This was beyond their expectations.

Shi Bangjian smiled and said, “Lichun, are you kidding me? 500 yuan? What’s the use of 500 dollars per acre of land? I can just plant anything in the fields and the harvest will be more than 500 dollars.”

Shi Lichun immediately reacted. He asked in disbelief, “If it’s not 500, could it be 5,000?”

He stretched out five fingers. The number he was pointing at could only be 500 or 5000. It was definitely not 50,000.

Shi Bangjian did not nod or shake his head. He only said, “Although my land is a medium-sized field, it’s most suitable for planting watermelons and peanuts. I originally planned to plant watermelons next year. You know, thanks to your family, the price of watermelons in our village is soaring. Those families who planted watermelons more or less made a small sum of money, like you three brothers. It’s a huge sum. Therefore, many people decided to plant watermelons next year. I’m interested in this too, right?”

Shi Lichun did not respond to him. Shi Bangjian continued, “My acre of land is two acres. If I plant watermelons, I can harvest at least seven to eight thousand catties. According to the lowest price of our village this year, if I sell them for one dollar per catty, the harvest will be at least 10,000 dollars. I can harvest them in half a year. After harvesting the watermelons, I can continue to plant rice. That will be a harvest of two to three thousand dollars. In total, it’s almost 20,000 dollars. Therefore, it’s not high if I charge you 5,000 dollars for the rent!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Hangyu looked outside and nodded. “Uncle Bang Jian, it’s dark outside. If you sleep, you can have a good dream!”

5,000 dollars was only in his dreams!

Shi Bangjian’s expression darkened. He frowned and looked at him, but he did not say anything.

Shi Lichun’s expression turned ugly.

He said, “5,000 dollars? Shi Bangjian, do you really dare to think about it? 5,000 dollars per acre of land? Why don’t you rob someone? That way, you can earn money faster.”

“What are you talking about?” Shi Bangjian’s face darkened as he said unhappily, “My conditions are set here. If you want to rent it, rent it. If you don’t want to rent it, I’ll plant it myself. After a while, if you want to rent it again, my rent will definitely increase. Think about it carefully!”

As he spoke, he glanced at Gu Qingming, who had been silent.

He knew very well that the person who appeared to front this was Shi Lichun, but the person who paid was Gu Qingming.

His family’s land was in the center. If they wanted to rent the surrounding fields, they would definitely have to rent his family’s land. Therefore, he felt that he was justified in his unreasonable deed.

Shi Hangyu looked angry and said, “Uncle Bang Jian, you’re asking for too much. No matter where you rent land now, it’s 200 to 600 dollars. But you’re asking for 5,000 dollars. Do you think there’s gold in your land?”

Shi Bangjian said coldly, “Shi Hangyu, do you have the right to interrupt when the elders are talking? It’s voluntary to buy, sell, and rent. I originally planned to plant my own land. If you want to rent it, aren’t you going to give me a year’s compensation? I just settled this with you. The annual harvest is nearly 20,000 dollars. It’s not too much for me to ask you for 5,000 dollars!”

“Hehe,” Shi Hangyu sneered and said, “It’s indeed not too much. It’s just that Uncle Bangjian, your family farms that piece of land every year. I’ve never seen you produce a yield worth 20,000 dollars every year. Once we wanted to rent your family’s land, your piece of land can suddenly yield 20,000 dollars. You have five to six acres of land here. In that case, your annual income should be more than 100,000 dollars. It’s more than 100,000 dollars a year. You’ve farmed for decades, so you should have earned a few million dollars long ago. Oh, I know. Your family should indeed have a million yuan in the bank, so your family doesn’t have to work. Just the interest alone is enough for you to use.”

Shi Hangyu’s words were a blatant mockery.

“You…” Shi Bangjian’s face darkened. His expression was very ugly as he said, “In the past, we couldn’t yield 20,000 dollars. But in the first half of this year, if you go and take a look, just the income of an acre of land is almost 20,000 dollars. If others can do it, so can mine.”

Shi Hangyu immediately retorted, “That’s right. Uncle Bangliang’s family’s one acre of land yielded a high income. That’s because his family’s watermelon prices are good. It’s because the boss who bought the watermelon was generous. But Uncle Bangjian, don’t forget that the boss who bought the watermelon is my Mingming’s good friend. Don’t think that your produce can sell for a high price just because you’re planting watermelons next year. If Mingming’s good friend doesn’t want your watermelons, you’ll suffer a huge loss.”

Shi Bangjian’s face alternated between green and white. He was furious.

In his anger, he immediately said loudly, “Since you’re not sincere, I won’t rent this land anymore, okay? I’ll keep it for myself to plant. Whether it’s good or bad, it’s none of your business!”

Shi Lichun stood up and said, “Bangjian, I hope you’ll consider this carefully. Don’t let your emotions get the better of you!”

“Not renting!” Shi Bangjian seemed to be very determined.

Shi Lichun nodded and said, “Alright, we understand.”
