After the meeting, Aunt Wang did not go home, but came directly to Zhang Xiuhua to complain.

Zhang Xiuhua did not invest in the village chicken farm, so she did not attend the meeting. The same was true for Xu Chunying.

Seeing her coming, they were curious about how much money she made.

Aunt Wang clapped her hands, "What profit did we make? We didn't make any profit at all. We even lost money. We only made a profit of 5,000 yuan. What can we do with that little money?"

Zhang Xiuhua was shocked when she heard the number, but she didn't think it was too little, but too much. She thought that if all the chickens were sold in the next county, they wouldn't make much money. She didn't expect that she looked down on them.

She spoke a fair word for the brigade cadres, "In my first year, I only made a profit of 15,000 yuan."

As soon as she said this, Aunt Wang seemed to have found her organization. She slapped her thigh and said, "I knew they were useless. You can make a profit of 15,000 yuan by raising chickens by yourself in the first year. What about them? 5,000 yuan! I don't even want to talk about them! They are a bunch of loose sand!"

Xu Chunying didn't invest any money. She felt that Aunt Wang couldn't blame the brigade cadres entirely. "When Xiuhua was raising chickens, it was just her family. When you were raising chickens, there were four chicken farms. So many chickens were sold at the same time, and the competition was different. You can't compare them at the same time."

Aunt Wang rolled her eyes. "You didn't lose any money, so of course you can say that."

This made Xu Chunying unhappy. "What would you say if Xiuhua also lost money raising chickens?"

Aunt Wang got even angrier. "Don't be such a pessimist. I'm counting on Xiuhua's chicken farm to make a profit. Don't curse her."

Xu Chunying glanced at Zhang Xiuhua, who also looked disapproving. She then realized and slapped her mouth, "I was just saying it casually, not cursing you. I also invested money in your chicken farm, so I definitely want you to be well!"

Zhang Xiuhua smiled and said, "Maybe next year they won't even raise chickens. Then our production team's chicken farm will be very popular, right?"

Aunt Wang curled her lips, "I'm afraid it's not that easy! There's such a large piece of equipment, how could it be left empty?"

Zhang Xiuhua thought so too. Since she hadn't even recovered her capital in the first year, she would have to keep raising the farm.

As they were talking, the brigade leaders from the other two villages finished their meeting and were walking back. They passed by Zhang Xiuhua's house, and judging from their expressions, it seemed that no agreement had been reached.

After they left, Aunt Wang stood up and went to the captain's house to withdraw her shares.

Xu Chunying instinctively felt that there was something exciting to watch, so she followed immediately. Zhang Xiuhua did not follow as there was no one at home and she wanted to look after the chicken farm.

She was anxious to know the result, but Xu Chunying never came back after she left, as if she had grown up in the captain's house. The same thing happened to Aunt Wang. Why was there no news? She was not as professional as Zhuzhu, who knew to come back and inform her of the news.

Zhang Xiuhua waited and waited until the sun set, when she saw Aunt Wang coming back with her head hung.

She was so tired that she didn't come to Zhang Xiuhua's house. It was Zhang Xiuhua who heard the noise, walked out of the courtyard, called her and asked, "How is it? Did you withdraw?"

Aunt Wang shook her head tiredly and didn't want to say anything.

The next day, Zhang Xiuhua heard from Xu Chunying what had happened. It turned out that it was not only Aunt Wang who wanted to withdraw her shares, but other families also had the same idea.

The captain asked everyone to vote, and more than half of them wanted to withdraw their shares.

The team leader agreed to withdraw, but he had no money, and he had to find someone to take over the equipment. But no one in the village could come up with 50,000 yuan at once.

Even Zhang Xiuhua didn't have any. Because she had just bought a courtyard house, she only had more than 10,000 yuan on hand. Even if Li Jianguo's money was added, it was not enough. What's more, Li Jianguo's money was intended to buy a house in the capital.

Xu Chunying asked Zhang Xiuhua, "If we open another egg-laying chicken farm, can we sell out all the eggs?"

Zhang Xiuhua couldn't give her an answer. "We need to ask the other three chicken farms about their plans! If they also want to raise laying hens, we will be in danger."

Now everyone is very poor. Purchasing power is naturally weak. Two chicken farms can meet the needs of the whole county. But eggs are different. Many families can afford eggs. And there is a time difference. The chickens of the two chicken farms are released at a fixed time. Unlike eggs, new eggs can be collected every day. There is no need to rush to the market. Maybe four chicken farms cannot meet the needs of the whole county.

You should know that the eggs in the supply and marketing cooperatives are always in short supply. Some people have to queue up at the supply and marketing cooperatives at three in the morning to buy eggs.

But these are just Zhang Xiuhua's guesses. The chickens she raises haven't laid eggs yet, so she can't make any guarantees right now!

Xu Chunying had an immature idea, "Can we gather a few wealthy families in the village and take over the chicken farm? I'll be in charge of raising the chickens. It will definitely be more reliable than three production teams raising chickens together."

Zhang Xiuhua didn't expect that she still had such ambitions. But after thinking about it carefully, Xu Chunying was a bit strong-willed and liked to compare with others, especially since her family was better off than her eldest brother's family, which might have inspired her eldest sister-in-law's ambition to work.

She thought about it and said, "Sure. Our family can also contribute some money. You can also look for Jianxin's family, the captain's family and the accountant of the brigade. They all have money!"

Xu Chunying was a little hesitant. After all, this was a big business worth 50,000 yuan. She was worried that if she went back to raising chickens, she would lose money and lose all her reputation.

She insisted on taking Zhang Xiuhua with her, "You should come with me! It's hard for me to go alone!"

Zhang Xiuhua pointed to the chicken farm and said, "I still have to look after the house."

Xu Chunying immediately shouted to the next door, asking Aunt Wang Er to help look after the chicken farm for a while.

Naturally, Aunt Wang was not unhappy about it.

So Zhang Xiuhua was dragged by Xu Chunying to help support the occasion. Halfway through the journey, Zhang Xiuhua asked Xu Chunying, "Sister-in-law, don't you need to tell your brother about such a big thing?"

She was worried that the couple would quarrel again. Would she, who helped the eldest sister-in-law, be blamed by the eldest brother? !

"Why tell him? I don't know his phone number, and I don't know how long it will take for him to receive the letter. Let's do it first!" Xu Chunying was afraid that her husband would not agree, so she wanted to do it first and ask for his permission later! When she made money, her husband didn't dare to say anything.

Seeing that she had thought it over, Zhang Xiuhua stopped persuading her.

The two men met him halfway before they reached the captain's house.

The team leader came to discuss with Zhang Xiuhua and asked her whether she wanted to buy equipment.

To be honest, he came to see Xiuhua, but he was actually unsure. After all, Xiuhua had her own chicken farm. He carefully calculated the money, but she didn't have even 50,000 yuan.

Just as they met, Zhang Xiuhua pushed Xu Chunying's arm and signaled her to speak.

Xu Chunying was a little nervous and motioned Zhang Xiuhua to help her speak.

Zhang Xiuhua was speechless. How dare she rent a chicken farm? Forget it, her sister-in-law had helped her so many times, so she might as well help her this time. So she cleared her throat and told Xu Chunying what she was thinking.

After hearing this, the captain said, "We can't even get 50,000 just by relying on a few of us, right?!"

Zhang Xiuhua thought for a moment and said, "We can scrape together 20,000 yuan."

There were fifteen thousand from her and five thousand from the public.

The captain's eyes widened. He didn't expect that she could spend so much money even though she already had a chicken farm. This gave him a deeper understanding of Li Jianguo's family background.

Xu Chunying was extremely envious when she heard that she had so much money. Before, she thought that her family had a thousand yuan, which was a lot. But now it seemed too little.

The captain did not give an immediate reply, "Let me ask them first! If they are willing, I will calculate the total amount!"

"Okay!" Xu Chunying responded loudly.
