The couple exchanged a glance and understood that they both agreed with this idea.

  It wasn't until then that Zhou Xiaoyun, still smiling, was standing beside him. Zhou Guoqiang asked: "Da Ya, how did you think of suggesting Dad sell pork?"

  Zhou Xiaoyun wouldn't say that those who kill and sell pigs for a living are all quite wealthy. She smiled innocently: "I just think that Dad kills pigs for other people every day, and after they have the pork, they take it to sell and make money, but Dad gets very little. It's not as good as selling the pork ourselves, we can also get more opportunities to eat meat."

  Saying that, she deliberately showed a greedy look, and Zhou Guoqiang thought to himself that after all, she was still a child who only cared about eating, so he let her go back to sleep.

  Zhou Xiaoyun knew her parents would definitely want to discuss it further, so she obediently went along.

  Zhou Guoqiang and Zhao Yuzhen discussed it for half a night and basically passed the proposal to sell pork. As for the specific operation, it is still under discussion.

  Let's not talk about anything else, buying pigs requires some capital, and this money can be scraped together at home. However, to transport and sell pork, a tricycle is necessary. If we can't afford a motorized tricycle like Wu Youde's, then at the very least, we need to buy a human-powered pedaled tricycle. Where will this sum of money come from?

  Finally, Zhou Guoqiang made a decisive decision: Borrow!

  But then who to borrow from became a problem.

  Originally, borrowing money from the elderly was a straightforward matter, and it was expected that Zhou Guofu would not refuse. However, as soon as Zhao Yujuan thought about Shen Huafeng being so stingy that she wouldn't even let Dabao watch TV, she felt annoyed and vowed never to borrow money from Shen Huafeng's family again.

  In the city, Zhou Guomin will definitely have some spare money, and for him, it's just a matter of one month's salary, so he won't be unable to borrow. However, the city is quite far away, and it's not easy to make a trip there. Besides, rural people entering the city always feel a bit awkward in their hearts.

  Zhao Yuzhen's maternal family is not bad, but there is a younger brother who is already old and still unmarried. When he gets married, they will have to worry about buying furniture and other things, which is embarrassing to mention.

  Zhao Yuzhen's two sisters were married quite far away, and it was not easy to go there.

  It seems there's no other way but to borrow from their aunt Zhou Fang.

  Wu Youde has been driving and taking passengers for several years, famous far and near, and must have cash in hand. Besides, Zhou Guoqiang and his sister have always had a good relationship, and he can also borrow money from her.

  With a resolute mind, Zhou Guoqiang went to his sister Zhou Fang's home the next day.

  Met Zhou Fang, first exchanged a few pleasantries and asked about her family's recent situation.

  Zhou Fang smiled and welcomed Zhou Guoqiang into the house, poured him a cup of tea, and they sat down to talk.

  After chatting for a few sentences, the sensitive Zhou Fang felt that Zhou Guoqiang's expression was somewhat tense, as if he had something to say, so she said to Zhou Guoqiang: "Second brother, is there something you want to tell me? We are siblings, what can't be said?"

  "Sister, I'm really embarrassed to ask for this, but as siblings, who else can I turn to? So I've come to you with a thick face today."

  Zhou Fang heard this and had a number in her mind, what else could make people so hard to speak at this time?

  As expected, Zhou Guoqiang brought up the matter of borrowing money: “...I and your sister-in-law have been discussing at home, thinking of doing some business to sell things at the market. This way, on one hand we won't neglect our farm work, and on the other hand, we can also earn some money to build a house. However, for doing business, we need a tricycle to transport goods back and forth, but your sister-in-law and I don't have enough money, so we wanted to ask if you have any spare money...”

  Zhou Guoqiang's words were interrupted by Zhou Fang: "Second brother, do you still need to be so polite with me? Just say it, how much is lacking, I'll think of a way to make up for it."

  Seeing his sister being so generous, Zhou Guoqiang's heart that was hanging in mid-air finally fell back down. He spoke with more confidence: "I've never bought this kind of car before, I reckon it'll cost at least over a hundred yuan. Can you lend me a hundred?"

  Zhou Fang calculated how much cash was left at home and thought for a while before asking Zhou Guoqiang, "Have you decided what to sell yet?"

  Zhou Guoqiang told her: "I'm preparing to take back the pigs and slaughter them to sell pork."

  "Selling pork? This idea isn't bad, every family has slaughtered pigs when they have guests or during festivals. But buying live pigs also costs money. If you take 100 from me, will you still have money to buy pigs?" Zhou Fang asked with concern.

  Her second brother wanted to do business and make money, she was also happy for him. Rural people just dug on the ground, at most they had a warm meal, how could they become rich? Now those with quick minds are thinking of doing business. Her family relied on Wu Youde's tricycle and lived a relatively comfortable life, among several brothers, only her second brother's family was struggling, she saw it and felt anxious too. Now about Zhou Guoqiang's matter, she is very willing to help out.

  "There are still some at home, I reckon it'll be enough."

  "It's just enough, nowadays pig traders come down to collect pigs and they all want cash. If you don't have enough money, how can they possibly sell the pig to you? Alright, I don't have much either, a total of 200, after you buy the car, you'll still have some left over, consider it as capital." Zhou Fang went into the house and took out a stack of 10-yuan bills, totaling 20 sheets, worth 200 yuan.

  Zhou Guoqiang took the money and was so moved that he couldn't speak. After a long time, he said: "Sister, when I have money, I will definitely pay you back as soon as possible."

  "No rush, wait until your business takes off and you can afford to pay me back," said Zhou Fang. She didn't mention that the money was originally meant for building a pigpen, thinking that the one at home could still be used, but Zhou Guoqiang's matter was urgent, so let the pigs at home wait a bit longer!

  Zhou Guoqiang, who had borrowed money, rode his bicycle home, feeling energetic all over, and rode his bicycle much faster.
