Hearing this, Yun Que'er immediately stood up.
"What are we waiting for? Let's hurry up and take the money there!"
Yun Jianzhou was startled by her strong reaction. "You said I was impulsive, but you're just the same. It's said that the people from the factory are here to buy. Aren't they richer than us? With the little money we have, what can we do? Just give up this idea. Don't go looking for trouble."
Yun Que'er gave a mysterious smile. "Second brother, you haven't even tried. How do you know it won't work?"
She gave Yun Jianzhou a meaningful look.
"Sometimes when doing a thing, it's not about what we can get."
Yun Jianzhou was completely confused. He didn't understand what Yun Que'er meant at all.
"What do you mean by getting or not getting? If we can't get anything, then there's no need for us to waste our time. Besides, the county town is so far from here. I just got back and you're already urging me to go again?"
Yun Jianzhou wasn't very willing. "Can't I use this time to inquire in other woods?"
Yun Que'er knew that Yun Jianzhou wouldn't be happy. Well, although it was almost the Beginning of Autumn, it was still very hot. Yun Jianzhou had just come back and asking him to go out again would just exhaust him.
"Fine, I'll go by myself. You can have a good rest at home."
With that, Yun Que'er was about to go out.
Yun Jianzhou immediately came to his senses and sat up abruptly.
"Am I crazy or are you? A little girl like you running to the county town by yourself. Do you know how far that place is? Aren't you afraid of being abducted?"
"I've been there before. I can just take the shuttle bus."
Seeing that Yun Que'er was really going, Yun Jianzhou rushed out in a hurry.
"You really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Fine, fine. I'll go with you."
Yun Que'er blinked and suddenly smiled.
Right, in her own mind, she was an adult in her twenties, but here, she was just an eight - year - old child.
If she went out alone, there was no way Yun Jianzhou would be at ease.
Since Yun Jianzhou had volunteered, Yun Que'er was happy to accept.
"Okay, then second brother, you go with me."
Yun Jianzhou: I want to take back what I just said. I wonder if it's too late?
Helplessly, Yun Jianzhou still went out with her.
The two transferred buses to get to the county town. As soon as they got off the bus, they headed straight for the forest.
When they got there, the merchant from the furniture factory hadn't left yet. He was chatting with the person in charge of the forest.
The two were sitting under the shade of a tree, drinking tea around a table. They looked really comfortable.
However, it could be seen that the person in charge was a bit restless.
"Second brother, do you see?" Yun Que'er pointed over there. "A lot of merchants like to chat. No matter what they talk about, if others want to close a deal, they have to be patient and chat with them. So do you know what he needs most now?"
Yun Jianzhou was stunned by Yun Que'er's sudden question. "What?"
Yun Que'er gave a faint smile. "Of course, he needs someone to rescue him. It'd be best if someone could offer a price quickly and close the deal in just a few words."
After saying that, Yun Que'er walked straight up and sweetly called the person in charge "uncle".
The person in charge was sweating profusely from the heat. He was just hoping that someone would come and talk to him to interrupt this long and boring chat. So he subconsciously answered.
But when he turned around, he saw a little girl who still smelled of milk.
He couldn't help being stunned. "Little girl, are you looking for me?"
"Not me. It's my second brother."
Yun Que'er directly pushed Yun Jianzhou out. The person who hadn't reacted yet stumbled. He turned around and looked at Yun Que'er blankly, asking with his eyes: What are you doing?
Yun Que'er was extremely speechless. She suddenly regretted bringing Yun Jianzhou out today.
If she had dragged Yun Fujin, who was watering the saplings in the field, over today, he would definitely understand her meaning with just one look.
Seeing Yun Que'er's disappointed look, Yun Jianzhou finally realized.
"Uncle, we're here to talk business with you."
The person in charge looked confused. "Talk business? What business?"
"We want to buy the trees that are going to be cut down in this field."
The person in charge was even more confused. The merchant who was sipping tea beside him was also stunned for a moment and then suddenly laughed.
"What did you say? Want to talk business? Young man, I don't think you're very old. How old are you?"
Yun Jianzhou was about to tell the truth when Yun Que'er nudged him.
Yun Jianzhou looked at Yun Que'er. What was she doing?
Yun Que'er winked but didn't say a word. Yun Jianzhou could only try to guess what she meant.
He tentatively said, "Eighteen."
Eighteen?
The merchant looked at Yun Jianzhou, his eyes full of scrutiny.
This kid was not short, but his face was full of childishness. How could he be an adult?
"Young man, you can't joke like this."
Yun Jianzhou also thought it was too far - fetched. He was 13 years old in full years, two years younger in virtual age. Even adding a few years, he was only 15 at most.
Even though he was almost 1.8 meters tall, saying that he was an adult was simply a fantasy.
However, Yun Que'er looked calm. "My brother looks young. People always ask me if my brother is still in junior high school. But there's no age limit for doing business, right? Our family is poor, so we entered society early. Now we've saved up some capital. What's wrong with doing business?"
The merchant looked at the sharp - tongued Yun Que'er and couldn't help becoming interested.
"Not bad. You're a quick - witted girl. With what you said, I don't know how to refute you. But kids, you're late. I'm already talking about the acquisition of the timber. It's not appropriate for you to butt in now, is it?"
The person in charge had been listening for a long time and also thought this was really too absurd.
However, Yun Que'er didn't care. She continued to wink at Yun Jianzhou secretly.
Cold sweat broke out on Yun Jianzhou's forehead. What? Were they really going to grab the business?
Even if they wanted to grab it, the other side was a big company with a lot of money. Could they compete?
Yun Que'er ignored Yun Jianzhou's frequent blinking and directly spoke up.
"Second brother, didn't you take out the money?"
With that, Yun Que'er reached into her pocket and took out a bankbook.
She opened the bankbook and showed it to the person in charge. "We don't want to buy much. Just according to the amount on it. We'll buy as much timber as the money can afford."
The merchant curiously leaned over and laughed when he saw the amount.
"I thought it was a lot. It's actually less than two thousand. Little girl, it's not that I'm criticizing you. You can try to do business, but you're not showing much sincerity. This little money won't get you anything. Hey, do you know how much I'm going to pay?"
He showed five fingers. "Fifty thousand."
Yun Que'er gave a soft laugh and looked at the person in charge.
"Indeed, the money we have is not much. But we don't need much anyway. This uncle is offering so much money. I guess he wants to buy a lot. Is it all the timber in the forest farm?"
"This..." The person in charge paused for a moment and then told the truth. "Not really. There's still a small area that won't be bought."
