Tang Zhinian stepped into the greenhouse to find his brother and niece busily tending to the vegetables. It was a warm day, and they had chosen to work in the greenhouse instead of the small house.

Though Tang Yuxin was quite small, her quick hands matched an adult’s speed in sorting the vegetables.

He swiftly got himself a stool, sat down, and joined them in sorting the vegetables.

The following day, they harvested nearly two hundred and ninety jin of crops. The vegetable seller gave them three hundred yuan upfront, with one hundred yuan as a deposit for the next day’s haul.

Once Tang Zhijun had deposited the money, he rushed back to prepare the next day’s crop. As he was busy working in the greenhouse, a sudden guest gave Tang Zhinian a start.

“Uncle Zhong, what brings you here?”

Tang Zhinian quickly stood up. The greenhouse was undoubtedly cramped, requiring them to stoop to work inside.

“Can I not come?” Chen Zhong came striding in, stopping to look at Tang Yuxin, who was helping her father with the Coriander. He noticed her little hands, red and chilly from the cold, and felt a sudden pang, “If I don’t come now, she’ll end up becoming a farmer.”

“What’s wrong with being a farmer?” Tang Zhinian didn’t see anything wrong with being a farmer. His family had been proud farmers for three generations.

“Oh, come off it!” Chen Zhong angrily plucked a coriander stem and tossed it at Tang Zhinian’s face. “You want her to plant crops, just like you, peddling them on a tricycle?”

Tang Zhinian was taken aback. He couldn’t quite reconcile the image of his dainty little Xiaoyu peddling vegetables on a tricycle. The thought was quite terrifying.

“Uncle Zhong, you don’t have to do this. We can handle it.”

Tang Zhinian quickly dusted off his hands, intending to take the vegetables from Chen Zhong’s hands. He couldn’t bear to see him working for them.

“Oh, hush,” Chen Zhong rolled his eyes at him. “I want to help; it’s none of your business. I’ve got nothing else to do in winter. Only after you finish can I take her back to study. Luckily she’s still young. If she grows a bit more under your influence, she’ll become a complete loss. She has such potential to become a great doctor.”

Tang Yuxin simply grinned and kept sorting the coriander with her dad.

As for Tang Zhinian, all he could do was hang his head in shame, unable to retaliate.

He had no choice. His family was in desperate need. The coriander was their main source of income now. Once they earned enough money, they could improve their living conditions and cover Tang Yuxin’s future school expenses, ensuring a better life for their kids.

Chen Zhong’s involvement significantly sped up their workflow. They managed to harvest more than four hundred jin of vegetables a day. Even then, they couldn’t keep up with the demand from the vegetable vendor.

“Zhijun, should we hire some village folks to help? We can pay them a few dollars a day.”

Tang Zhinian discussed the idea with his brother. In their current state, they could only harvest three to four hundred jin of vegetables a day, which was not enough. He wanted to harvest all the vegetables as quickly as possible, to ensure the money was in their hands.

Because right now, their vegetables were their money, but only if they could sell them.

Until the money was in their hands, it was not real.

“No, we can’t let others help us.”

“Why not?” Tang Zhinian didn’t understand. “Only our family is planting vegetables in the village. The rest are just idling around. Helping us would earn them some money, and we’d be able to harvest more each day. We’d earn money faster that way. Isn’t that great?”
