Chapter 293: Chapter 293 Development Plan_1 Chapter 293: Chapter 293 Development Plan_1 Zhuanzhuan looked at his sister in surprise, a fleeting, complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
“Over a thousand dollars.” Nan Fei said directly, “I’ve already signed the contract, and we just need to move to the city.”
“This… this… where did you get this money?” Jiang Dechun was a bit helpless and worried about her daughter doing something wrong for money. “Nan Fei, you can’t go astray for the sake of money and do things you shouldn’t.”
“Don’t worry!” She reassured them with a smile, “This money was earned from my painting. I am now collaborating with a clothing factory in the provincial city to design clothes for them.”
Nan Fei thought long and hard before deciding to with her family.
The main reason was she didn’t want her parents to be so busy with farming and the tofu business just for a bit of money. Her mother’s health wasn’t good and she was afraid she would be overworked and damage her health even further.
Therefore, she needed to show her abilities, making sure she carried weight in the household, so her father would listen to her.
Then, she could make further decisions.
For instance, the most urgent right now was that they should no longer continue farming.
Her father couldn’t even ensure four hours of sleep every day, and it pained her to see him like that.
“Really? That can’t be true?”
This time, before Nan Fei could explain, Zhang Fengmei chastised her husband. “What are you saying? Nan Fei has always been honest and never lies. If she says it’s true, then it must be true. How dare you not believe her?”
“Okay okay, I believe it, okay?” He wasn’t disbelief–it was more like he didn’t dare to believe it.
“I’ll be providing design sketches to the clothing factory regularly and I’ll earn a stable income. So, mom and dad, you don’t have to work so hard. We should stop farming and shift our focus to the business.”
“But…” Zhang Fengmei wrung her hands, “What will we eat if we don’t farm? There will be no food.”
Nan Fei understood her feelings. Farmers who spent their lives tilling the fields would naturally feel uneasy about suddenly giving it up. But she was reborn, she knew that in the future, a large number of farmers would migrate to the city.
Joining the construction and development of the city, they would become an indispensable force in the urban environment.
In this life, she was determined to make her parents be the ones who eat the crabs first, those who become rich first.
Abandoning farming might seem foolish now.
But for the future, it was definitely necessary.
“Mom, let me ask you. Can your bodies take it if you continue to work so hard? What will happen to the three of us if something were to happen to you?”
Nan Fei’s sharp words left Zhang Fengmei and Jiang Dechun speechless.
Zhuanzhuan chimed in, “Sister, how about we stop going to school! Not only does it cost money, but it also wastes time that could be spent helping out at home.”
“Yes!” Nan Fei said seriously, “Let’s drop out of school! Let mom and dad focus on the business, and we can help with the farming. That way, we should be able to manage.”
The two sisters knew their parents’ greatest aspiration in life was to have a college graduate in the family.
They’d rather beg for food than let their children not pursue their studies.
“Nonsense!” Jiang Dechun slammed his hands on the table, determined, “We can stop farming, but you two must go to school.”
In fact, he had quietly calculated just now that they had made more money from the tofu business in the past month than they had from a year of farming. One always had to give up something. They couldn’t hope to farm and do business at the same time.
Moreover, Feng Mei had poor health, had struggled all her life and could literally work herself to death.
Sighing, he thought how his daughter had truly grown, become sensible. She was now caring about her parents and seemed to see farther into the future than he did.
