Hearing the persuasion from his father and third brother, Qian Dagui hesitated endlessly and said, "I understand the reasoning, but the initial investment is too significant. Let's not even mention planting fruit trees on the man-made hill; just purchasing land costs money, digging ponds costs money, and buying fish fry and lotus seeds also costs money. The key issue is that we don't know how to raise fish or grow lotuses, and we don't know how profitable it will be after spending so much money. When it all comes down to it, buying farmland still seems more worthwhile and gives me peace of mind."
Qian Ergui was even more reluctant. He had hardly managed to make some money selling snacks, and to invest it all in barren land—what a pity it would be if it all went to waste.
Wan Erniu didn't think twice and directly nodded, saying he would find Wang Lizheng tomorrow to mark off the land.
