Farming Space Makes Me Rich

Chapter 184: Strawberry Blooms

"Let it go. At least the husband and son are clever people. Don't be angry anymore." Xiao Zhengyang said.

"Thankfully, Xiao Chengcai is clever!"

At this point, Mother Xiao looked at the time. It was already past nine o'clock. She immediately said, "Yu 'Er, it's already so late. Pregnant women need to sleep more and rest well. Only then will their babies be smart and beautiful!"

Xiao Lingyu, "..." She had never heard that fetus needed beauty sleep. But she relented in the end.

...

With Xiao Lingyu and the village chief's persuasion, Old Master Gong stop buying the flowers and plants. The plants were left to rot. Many villagers didn't want the plants, so the flower fever died out.

The villagers gradually returned to peace. Only occasionally, children and elders would go up the mountains to try their luck.

...

"Did you see that? The strawberry seedlings of Lingyu's family are growing very well. These strawberry flowers are white. There are so many flowers. This will be a large harvest!"

"I know. Two days ago, Xiao Lingyu noticed some bugs on the seedlings. She hired people to catch the bugs and had them feed the chickens the bugs! 20 people searched the six Mu of lands for bugs!"

"Wouldn't it be faster to use pesticides? Why catch them by hands? It's so laborious!"

"What do you know? Lingyu said her strawberries will be fully organic and free from pesticides!"

"Pesticides aren't harmful, right?" Someone asked doubtfully, "We use pesticides on our paddy, and we still eat the rice!"

"Lingyu has always been a good and hardworking child.?She is a clever person. She works the land differently from us."

"That's right. We spray pesticides, but she hires people to catch bugs!"

"But, can the farm really produce strawberries?"

"I believe so. Don't you see those clusters of white flowers? They're blooming so well! Maybe they can produce strawberries!"

...

Xiao Lingyu and Mother Xiao carried two plastic buckets and came to the strawberry shed. They smiled with joy when they saw the green seedlings and the bunch of white flowers hanging on the branches.

Mother Xiao said, "Yu 'Er, can we really produce strawberries?"

"Definitely!" Xiao Lingyu said with certainty, "Mom, don't you see these flowers? Soon, they will definitely bear fruit!"

However, Mother Xiao was not as optimistic as Xiao Lingyu.

She said, "Yu 'Er, I heard that our geography is not suitable for growing strawberries. Even if they can bear fruits, the fruits will be small and sour!"

Xiao Lingyu smiled. "Mom, don't worry. Our berries will be very special. Mom, just wait and see!"

At this point, she looked at the bright green strawberry seedlings and continued, "Mom, these strawberries will definitely be sold for millions!"

"Yu 'Er, how much did you say?" Mother Xiao thought she heard wrong. "Millions? With these strawberries?" Mother Xiao pointed around.

"Yes, it's a rough calculation, but I estimate a profit about a million!" Xiao Lingyu said.

Mother Xiao's mouth was wide open in shock. She assumed they would only get a few hundred thousand. After taking away the cost, their clean profit would be around forty thousand a year. However, her daughter told her that her projected profit was one million!
