CHAPTER 91: CHAPTER 91: SUCCESSFUL CULTIVATION 2

Nianyang spent three days and nights to nurture and cultivate the bought vegetable seeds and saplings in the space using the Spiritual Spring and soil.

She also diluted the water from the Spiritual Spring in a small acre of land in the Jiang Family’s backyard, then experimentally threw in a few vegetable seeds to start cultivating. Of course, when she did all this, she deliberately used medicine as a pretext to say she was improving the soil quality.

After completing all these tasks, Nianyang and Jiang Aiguo went to the mayor to discuss the rental of farmland and orchards.

Upon hearing Nianyang’s intention, Zhang Jianjun was shocked and hastily tried to dissuade her, "Nianyang, why did you think of contracting land for fruits and vegetables? Let me tell you, the quality of the farmland and orchards on the back mountain of our town isn’t good. In recent years, some people have rented them, but the yields were poor, resulting in huge losses."

If it had been someone else renting the land, Zhang Jianjun would have hurriedly signed the contract without a second thought, as it concerns his performance issues. He was also hoping for someone to be a fool and rent it, but who would have thought this person is Nianyang.

Because of Zhang Zhiqiang’s matter, he already felt indebted to Nianyang, and he certainly couldn’t do something harmful. Besides, Nianyang’s situation is difficult; if he agreed with a guilty conscience, he feared he’d have nightmares at night!

When Nianyang saw how much Zhang Jianjun was considering her welfare, her impression of him improved significantly, and she said with a smile, "It’s alright, Mr. Mayor, I have my own ways. Please just tell me the details of the rent."

Seeing that he couldn’t persuade Nianyang, Zhang Jianjun hastily turned to Jiang Aiguo, "Aiguo, you can’t let Nianyang act recklessly. Business in recent years is very risky, and this back mountain land isn’t cheap. One acre rents for 30 yuan a year, and the minimum rental term is ten years!"

Jiang Aiguo originally had little confidence in this fruit and vegetable farm, and upon hearing Zhang Jianjun’s words, he hesitated instinctively, "Yangyang..."

Nianyang feared Jiang Aiguo might refuse, so she decisively said, "Mr. Mayor, thank you for considering our situation, but we’ve already decided. I want to rent the land and plan to rent a total of 30 acres!"

acres!

The number stunned Zhang Jianjun, and it took him a while to recover, whereupon he stared at Nianyang with a look as if she were a fool, "Nianyang, do you know what you’re saying? The rent for one acre is 30 yuan a year, so 30 acres would be 900 yuan a year. Calculating by the minimum ten-year rental term, it amounts to 9,000 yuan."

Upon hearing that it would cost 9,000 yuan, Jiang Aiguo’s expression changed; that was far too much, beyond what he could bear.

However, Nianyang remained unfazed and said, "Alright, then I’ll rent it. But we don’t have that much money now, so we’ll pay you, Mr. Mayor, 1,000 yuan as a deposit and make up the rest by the end of the month."

She said this without regard for Jiang Aiguo’s dumbfounded expression and directly took out 1,000 yuan to give to Zhang Jianjun!

To Nianyang, 9,000 yuan was much less than expected, and she thought it was doable. If the land could be bought, she might have gone ahead to buy it directly!

Holding the 1,000 yuan, Zhang Jianjun felt as if he were dreaming and wondered where Nianyang, still a student without income, could have gotten so much money.

Could it be...

Zhang Jianjun hesitantly looked at Jiang Aiguo, "Aiguo, I know your family is in financial trouble, so you want to do business to earn money. But there’s no need to mortgage your house to do business. It’s risky, and if you lose money, where will your family live!"

Nowadays, mortgaging houses for loans became popular, so Zhang Jianjun assumed Jiang Aiguo obtained money this way.

Jiang Aiguo shook his head, ready to explain, but Nianyang interrupted, "Mr. Mayor, please help us draft the contract."

Zhang Jianjun saw Nianyang was determined to rent the land and couldn’t say much more. After all, it was someone else’s affair, so he just signed the land rental agreement with Nianyang.

After obtaining the agreement, Nianyang took Jiang Aiguo and went home.

In rural areas, gossip spreads quickly, and soon the news of Nianyang and Jiang Aiguo renting land for business spread out.
