Fairy Gourd Farm

Chapter 1105

Seeing Zhao Lei mentioning this question, Lopez's expression also became serious, and he sighed a long time: "It's hard to say."

Zhao Lei opened a can of beer he just bought and handed it to Lopez, "Speak slowly, don't rush."

Zhao Lei has to figure out this question. If Lopez and others have to abscond with their family because of committing crimes, Zhao Lei will have very limited trust in them in the future. They are in charge.

If these people were all honest tobacco farmers who left their hometowns due to unavoidable reasons, Zhao Lei would of course trust them more, and would consider letting Lopez and others take charge of more things.

Lopez took a sip of beer, and said to Zhao Lei in a deep voice, "Actually, we don't want to take the whole family away from home. There is really no way. It's all because of the heavy rain the year before last."

Zhao Lei asked curiously, "The heavy rain caused floods and destroyed your tobacco fields?"

"The tobacco fields are still there." Lopez sighed: "But the heavy rain during the tobacco leaf harvest season that year ruined the tobacco leaves and destroyed our whole year's harvest."

Zhao Lei frowned and said, "Even so, as long as the land is still there, you can still make a comeback, and it's been two years, so why bother to leave your hometown?"

Lopez said helplessly: "Because we have borrowed money from Mr. Gomez in order to persevere. Although the principal is not much, after three years, the principal with interest... really can't afford it!"

Zhao Lei understood a little bit, nodded lightly and said, "Is this Gomez a loan shark?"

Lopez said in a deep voice: "Our family borrowed only one or two hundred dollars from Mr. Gomez, and the most did not exceed four hundred dollars, but the high interest pressure made everyone breathless. For example, my family only borrowed 400 U.S. dollars from Mr. Gomez at the beginning, and has repaid him more than 500 U.S. dollars in the past three years, but still owes him more than [-] U.S. dollars.”

After hearing Lopez's words, Zhao Lei couldn't help shaking his head slightly.For tobacco farmers whose per capita annual income is less than one hundred US dollars, this is indeed a very large sum.And in the case of compound interest, they don't even think about repaying the money, no wonder they can only drag their families and leave their homes.

Knowing that Lopez and others seemed to be forced to leave their hometown, Zhao Lei also nodded secretly in his heart.It seems that these are honest tobacco farmers, and we should be able to give them more trust in the future.

Of course Zhao Lei would not live with Lopez and the others. Anyway, they had food and drink right now, and even the children had milk powder, so there was nothing to worry about, so he left and went back to the hotel soon.

Elisa deliberately sent Zhao Lei to the gate with a look of reluctance.

Zhao Lei didn't think too deeply about it, and thought the girl was just scared, so he comforted her with a smile: "Anyway, you have my phone number, just call me if you need anything. After a few days, my friend will arrange the itinerary for you. You'll be safe when you get to my farm."

"Well, thank you boss." Elisa thanked Zhao Lei respectfully, with an inexplicable look in her big charming eyes.

Zhao Lei didn't notice Elisa's strangeness at all, he just waved to the others and left their hiding place.

Gonzalez was very efficient. He contacted Zhao Lei within a few days and told him that the plane had been arranged and that the tobacco farmers and their families could be sent to Kangar Airport at one time, and they could even take the express lane directly. Bypass customs and leave.

Zhao Lei, who knew the news, was also very surprised. He couldn't help but praise Gonzalez and said, "You are really good, even Malaysia can handle it."

Gonzalez proudly said: "It's also a coincidence this time, it just happened to be related there, but..."

As soon as this guy said "but", Zhao Lei understood, and said with a smile: "I understand, but it needs a little extra cost, right?"

"You're right again." Gonzalez nodded embarrassedly, but quickly said to Zhao Lei: "If you don't want to pay the money, you can, but I can only send them there in batches. There are so many people, it is too conspicuous."

Zhao Lei asked noncommittally, "How much money do you need?"

Gonzalez told him: "Not much, $[-] is enough!"

"I'll pay the money." Zhao Lei said flatly, "You can arrange it as soon as possible."

The tobacco leaves on the Dama Farm are ready to be harvested, and Zhao Lei needs the tobacco farmers to get into shape as soon as possible.Arriving at the Dama Farm with the whole family will undoubtedly allow them to concentrate more on their work.The profit that this can bring to Zhao Lei must be far more than [-] US dollars. Of course, Zhao Lei will not save such a small amount of money.

Gonzalez just liked Zhao Lei's point of view. Hearing this, he immediately smiled and said, "Then there's no problem. I promise to deliver everyone within three days!"

This still made Zhao Lei very satisfied. He was just about to enter the calabash space to practice, when the phone rang again. It was an unfamiliar number that he had never received before.

Zhao Lei thought for a while before he remembered that this was the number he had newly applied for for Elisa. He didn't know why this girl called suddenly.

With this in mind, Zhao Lei connected the phone, and immediately heard Elisa's crying voice: "Boss, we have been discovered!"

Zhao Lei's heart suddenly became aroused. He had already spent a lot of money on the tobacco farmers. If these people were arrested, Zhao Lei was sure that Gonzalez would definitely not pay back the money.What's more terrible is that in this way, the tobacco leaf harvest season will definitely be missed this time, and Zhao Lei's loss will be even greater.

But even though he was anxious, Zhao Lei was still very calm on the surface, and immediately asked Elisa in a deep voice, "Who found you? The police or the locals?"

This is what Zhao Lei is most worried about. If there are only one or two tobacco farmers, even if they are discovered by the police, he can find a way to solve them. At most, he will give them some benefits.The Mexican police are not as clean and honest as they are in China, and they will definitely accept Zhao Lei's bribe.

However, there are currently more than 30 tobacco farmers with their families. The matter is too big, and even the police dare not cover them up.

Fortunately, Elisa immediately told Zhao Lei: "It's not the police, it's Mr. Gomez's!"

Lopez once told Zhao Lei that they borrowed usury from Gomez.Upon hearing the name, Zhao Lei immediately understood that the tobacco farmers were discovered by these loan sharks.

This is better than being discovered by the police. Zhao Lei secretly heaved a sigh of relief and asked Elisa: "What did the other party do to you?"

Elisa told Zhao Lei in fear: "My dad and Uncle Martinez blocked the door to prevent those people from coming in, but I'm afraid..."

"I know, hurry over now." Zhao Lei told Elisa in a deep voice: "Tell your father and the others to persevere, and I will solve this matter!"
