Zhang Dachuan is full of expectations for his new jujubes, and Ma Hongdou is also full of expectations for his peaches.
In order to water the peach trees in the peach orchard, the father and son, who had always been lazy, became diligent for the first time and carried water up the mountain on a pole every day. They were as tired as two dead dogs.
Fortunately, those peach trees were still doing well, and the peaches on them were getting bigger day by day, which made Ma Hongdou smile with joy.
Seeing that the peaches would be ripe in a day or two, Ma Hongdou couldn't wait to call Wu Wankui:
"Mr. Wu, good news! Our peaches will be ripe soon, and I can deliver them to you tomorrow!"
Wu Wankui was overjoyed and said excitedly:
"That's great! Then I'll wait for you in the store tomorrow. As long as Taozi is okay, everything we said before will count!"
Ma Hong was overjoyed and was just about to slap his chest and issue a military order when Ma Tengyuan suddenly burst in from the door and shouted with fear:
"Dad, it's bad! Something bad is going to happen!"
Ma Hongdou's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly hung up the phone, scolding angrily:
"What are you doing in such a panic? Didn't you see that I was on the phone with Vice President Wu? Why are you so upset!"
Ma Tengyuan swallowed and said to Ma Hongdou with a pale face:
"Taoyuan, there's something wrong with Taoyuan."
Ma Hongdou's expression changed instantly:
"What? Something went wrong in Taoyuan! What happened to Taoyuan?"
Ma Tengyuan hesitated and was speechless. Ma Hongdou was so anxious that he stamped his feet and pulled him towards Taoyuan.
The two of them hurried to the peach garden and saw that the originally green peach trees had turned withered and yellow branches and leaves, as if they were suffering from some disease, which was very different from the scene a day ago.
What's even more frightening is that this is not a problem between one or two peach trees, but the peach trees in the entire peach orchard are like this.
Ma Hongdou's heart suddenly sank to the bottom. He looked at Taoyuan and murmured:
"What's going on? How could this happen!"
After coming back to his senses, he grabbed the collar of Ma Fei, who was looking at Taoyuan, and asked with red eyes:
"Ma Fei, tell me, what's going on! I asked you to see Taoyuan, and you show me this?"
Ma Fei felt extremely wronged and said with a sad face:
"Village Chief, I don't know either. I just obeyed your orders and guarded the peach tree field. I didn't let anyone in. I swear to God!"
Ma Hongdou roared:
"How did that happen?"
Ma Fei said intermittently:
"Is it because of the lack of water? It hasn't rained much recently."
When Ma Tengyuan heard this, he immediately agreed:
"Yes, yes, dad, this peach orchard is halfway up the mountain. There is no way to water it in time. The three of us can only water it with water. It is just a drop in the bucket and it is of no use at all."
"If this peach tree lacks water, it will turn yellow."
Ma Hongdou gradually calmed down, thought for a moment, nodded and said:
"It is possible. It seems that it is not Ma Fei's fault."
He took a look at the peaches on the tree and found that compared to the peach tree, the peaches were not affected much, and he was relieved.
After hesitating for a moment, Ma Hongdou gritted his teeth and ordered the two of them:
"No matter, let's pick the peaches now, otherwise the peaches will not be able to absorb water from the tree, and the appearance will be very different tomorrow!"
"This is our first battle to make a name for ourselves, so we can't afford to lose anything! At worst, after we make money this time, we'll hire someone to carry water."
Ma Tengyuan and Ma Fei are both people with no ideas. They will do whatever Ma Hongdou says.
At that moment, the three of them went back to get baskets and other tools, and hurriedly started picking peaches.
They worked until two o'clock in the middle of the night before picking all the peaches in the peach orchard, which totaled nearly two thousand kilograms!
Fighting back their fatigue, the three of them carefully placed the picked peaches in the cellar, preparing to deliver the peaches to the county early tomorrow morning.
After finishing all this, the three of them fell asleep.
As a result, when they opened their eyes and woke up again, it was already the afternoon of the next day.
Thinking of the peaches in the cellar, Ma Hongdou secretly shouted "It's broken" and hurriedly kicked Ma Tengyuan awake:
"Get up, you little bastard, you don't even know what time it is, and you want to sleep with me!"
The father and son drove a tricycle and hurried to Mingyue County.
On the way, Ma Hongdou called Wu Wankui's phone and apologized to Wu Wankui in panic:
"Mr. Wu, I'm sorry. I was too busy picking peaches today, which delayed my schedule. We are on the way now and will be in the county soon."
He originally thought that Wu Wankui would get angry and yell, but he didn't expect that the other party's attitude was surprisingly good:
"I understand, I understand. Village Chief Ma doesn't need to apologize. You just need to deliver the peach safely. I will explain it to Mr. Su."
Ma Hongdou breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Wu Wankui repeatedly.
But here, after Wu Wankui hung up the phone, he was in a good mood and could no longer hide his complacency.
He walked towards Su Yun's office with a sneer on his brows and eyes.
Today, he decided to have a showdown with Su Yun.
That day, after Wu Wankui learned from Ma Hongdou about the change of ownership of Taoyuan, he did not tell Su Yun immediately. Instead, he kept it secret, waiting to catch Su Yun off guard.
He wants to avenge the slap in the face that day!
…
In the office, Su Yun is immersed in work.
Wu Wankui pushed open the door and came straight to Su Yun, pulled up a chair and sat down.
This rude behavior made Su Yun frown slightly:
"Vice President Wu, is something wrong?"
Wu Wankui sneered:
"Of course there is something, and it's a big deal."
Before Su Yun could ask any questions, he said proudly:
"Isn't it strange, Mr. Su? Why hasn't Zhang Dachuan come to deliver peaches in the past two days?"
Su Yun frowned and looked at Wu Wankui:
"Why?"
Wu Wankui laughed loudly:
"Because that fool sold his peach orchard to someone else, hahahaha!"
"So he can't provide Xiushan peaches at all now, and the supply is now in my hands."
"If you are wise, give me 30% of the profits from Qifeng Fruits and Vegetables. Otherwise, I will take the channels of Xiushan Peach and seek refuge with others!"
Su Yun's eyes widened and she said in disbelief:
"Impossible, don't try to lie to me! Zhang Dachuan is not a fool, how could he give that orchard away to others?"
Wu Wankui laughed again:
"Hahaha, Mr. Su, you may not know, but Zhang Dachuan was really a fool a month ago!"
"Besides, my partner is on his way here with Xiushan Peach. You will know later if it is true or not."
Su Yun looked at Wu Wankui intently, and took a deep breath after a moment:
"I need to think carefully about what you said."
With that said, she got up and walked towards the bathroom.
Wu Wankui watched Su Yun leave with a smile, sneering in his heart.
He knew that Su Yun had gone to call Zhang Dachuan for verification, but so what? It is a definite fact that Zhang Dachuan has lost Taoyuan, and Su Yun is destined not to get the answer she wants.
