At this time, more than half an hour had passed. Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhao Wenhao took out the 1000 yuan that he had prepared long ago from his bag and handed it over.

"Uncle San, thanks to your help and the Secretary of the Yuanchao Branch, my sister's problem has been solved. I also made some money during this period, so I will send this money to you as soon as possible."

After saying that, without waiting for Zhao Jianmin to speak, he stuffed the money into his hands.

Zhao Jianmin originally wanted to say a few polite words, but seeing Zhao Wenhao's action, he did not refuse.

After Zhao Jianmin took the money, Zhao Wenhao took out two packs of Ashima cigarettes from his bag and handed them over again.

"Wenhao, what are you doing?" Zhao Jianmin's face suddenly became unhappy. "Our two families are relatives. As your uncle, it's my duty to help you. How can I accept your things? Take them away quickly."

A pack of Ashima cigarettes costs more than four yuan, and two packs cost nearly 90 yuan. Ordinary rural people really can't afford such high-quality cigarettes.

"Uncle San, you said it yourself. Our two families are relatives. As your nephew, it's only natural for me to buy you two packs of cigarettes as a token of my filial respect. If you don't accept them, do you still look down on me?"

Zhao Wenhao resolutely placed two packs of cigarettes on the table. No matter how Zhao Jianmin refused, he held them down hard to prevent him from picking them up.

Seeing this situation, Zhao Jianmin was helpless and did not continue to stalemate with Zhao Wenhao. He accepted the gift.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Zhao Wenhao had no intention of staying any longer. So he stood up and said goodbye to Zhao Jianmin and his family.

Before leaving, he did not forget to tell his third aunt Qian Chunhua to go and buy Bupleurum chinense tomorrow, and he would take as many as he had.

As for the price, the current price at the purchasing point in the town is 5 yuan/kg, while the price offered by Zhao Wenhao is 6 yuan/kg, which means the profit margin is quite good.

After Zhao Wenhao left, Zhao Jianmin couldn't help but sigh: "Wenhao is a really good kid. How could Zhao Aiguo, such a coward, do such a shameful thing?

"Tsk, this isn't Zhao Aiguo's first time, he just hasn't been caught in the act before. This time he happened to be seen in town, otherwise who knows how Zhao Aiguo would deny it."

When mentioning Zhao Aiguo, Qian Chunhua obviously disagreed.

Everyone knew what kind of person he was, so what was there to say? On the contrary, in the past month or so, Zhao Wenhao's performance had been beyond everyone's expectations.

Zhao Wenhao had returned home and took out two packs of cigarettes from the bedside. After a moment's thought, he took another pack and stuffed it into his bag before heading out again, ready to head to Zhao Yuanchao's house.

"Wenhao, what are you doing? Take it away. I don't want the cigarettes. If you continue like this, don't come to my house anymore."

Zhao Yuanchao's family had already accepted the 1500 yuan debt. But when Zhao Wenhao took out three packs of cigarettes, Zhao Yuanchao refused to accept them and even threatened them.

Zhao Wenhao still wanted to insist, but Zhao Yuanchao was really angry and even prepared to chase him away.

Helpless, Zhao Wenhao could only put away the cigarette.

"That's right, Wenhao. Jianmin should have told you that your grandfather saved my life more than 20 years ago. It's only right for me to help you through this difficult time."

The always dignified Zhao Yuanchao finally smiled and even took the initiative to hand Zhao Wenhao a cigarette.

"It's a pity that your father has such a bad temper. I've warned him many times, but he never changes. Otherwise, your family wouldn't be like this now. Fortunately, you've grown up, become responsible and capable, so I can rest assured."

When mentioning Zhao Aiguo, Zhao Wenhao couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, but in front of outsiders, he couldn't say much and could only pretend nothing had happened.

The love is deep and the criticism is severe. Zhao Wenhao can feel Zhao Yuanchao's sincere care.

But he didn't have any good solution for Zhao Aiguo. With his temper, it would not be possible to change him overnight.

"Secretary Zhao, there is something I need to discuss with you this time." Zhao Wenhao quickly changed the subject.

Zhao Yuanchao didn't bother to discuss Zhao Aiguo's matter. When he heard that Zhao Wenhao had other matters, he asked, "Are there any difficulties at home? If there is anything you need my help with, just ask directly."

"It's not difficult at all. I met a friend during my trip to the provincial capital. His father is the director of the Xuanzhou Food Processing Factory. Through this connection, the purchasing office there has agreed to allow me to provide them with ten tons of fruit each month for processing."

Or maybe Zhao Wenhao's explanation was not clear enough, and Zhao Yuanchao didn't understand what Zhao Wenhao meant, so he was not very interested in it.

"That's great! This way, you can make some money. Are you planning to ask the villagers to help you buy it?"

"It's not me who will do it. I hope you will be in charge of this matter." Zhao Wenhao quickly explained, "To be honest with you, after my calculations, the net profit after sending it to the food processing factory is only about 7 cents per kilogram.

If I get involved, there will be basically no profit margin. Therefore, I decided to give up this business and let our village take over directly."

"Oh?" Zhao Yuanchao suddenly became alert.

"With a profit of 7 cents per catty, ten tons equals 1400 catties, for a total net profit of yuan. You're not going to do this kind of profit margin? That's a lot of money in a year!"

Zhao Yuanchao looked at Zhao Wenhao in surprise. He couldn't understand why Zhao Wenhao made such a decision.

Giving up a net profit of 88 yuan a year is not something that most people can do. In , even in a poor county like Ping'an, households with an annual income of yuan were rare.

Of course, Zhao Wenhao would not tell Zhao Yuanchao that he had earned more than 10,000 in just over a month. If he told Zhao Yuanchao, he would definitely be shocked.

"Secretary Zhao, the villagers have taken great care of us over the years, so I wanted to help the village make some money. Look at the roads in our village, especially the one leading to town. They become muddy when it rains.

If possible, I hope the village can contribute funds to repair it. However, I also know that our village is in a difficult situation and that it is impossible to come up with such funds. So, I hope to use this opportunity to do something to help us.

Besides, I need to spend more time on purchasing medicinal herbs, so I really can't take care of this here. Therefore, I can only ask Secretary Zhao to take charge. With you in charge, I believe this matter will be handled successfully. "

After listening to Zhao Wenhao's explanation, Zhao Yuanchao still couldn't believe it.

He reaffirmed, "Wenhao, think carefully. This is a significant profit. If I announce it tomorrow, there's no way to go back on my word!"

Zhao Wenhao laughed and nodded readily in agreement, "Sure, definitely, and certainly."
