Chapter 108 I didn’t expect that you can still support your family even at this stage.
Meng didn't want her family to have hope and then be disappointed, so she kept the matter a secret and planned to wait until the vegetables could really grow up before telling everyone. After all, many junior growers had a good seed germination rate, but few vegetables could be successfully grown without mutation.
It can be said that one hundred junior growers may not be able to replace one mid-level grower, so the alliance treats mid-level and senior growers so well.
Oh, right! Now that I have no spiritual power, and I have to pay taxes every year on those plantation stars under my name, how can I make ends meet?
Meng Ke was thinking about how to make money while planting on the small piece of newly vacated land.
The planets given by the elders must not be sold. There are more than a dozen barren planets among them, and the tax on them is very low and can be ignored.
There are also abandoned stars after the ore has been mined. This is taken care of by family members. I heard that some scavengers will go there to pan for gold. Meng may take a commission from it, and the income is average.
After checking the accounts, Meng Ke found that after deducting the taxes on the barren planet and the waste planet, he could barely make ends meet.
What remains are more than twenty planting stars, which used to be a huge fortune for Meng Ke, but now have become a hot potato.
After a little thought, Meng Ke sent messages to Luo Jing, Lei Hu and Ouyang Kong respectively, saying that he was unable to plant, so he returned the planting star to the family to maximize the utilization rate of the planting star.
Writing on the tablet is a bit slow. Mengke is used to the convenience of the optical computer and is still a little uncomfortable with this primitive input method.
Before Ouyang Kong could send the last message, Luo Jing's message came back: What I give it to you is yours, don't worry about anything else.
Meng Ke understood. Her uncle was going to help her pay taxes. Okay! She was poor now, so she had to have the awareness of being poor. The saying "not eating something given out of pity" didn't exist among her family.
Just after sending the edited message to Ouyang Kong, Lei Hu also sent a message with the same meaning. However, this time, Meng Ke was not so natural, because she knew that Lei Hu's husband didn't seem to have much money.
In order not to embarrass Lei Hu's husband, Meng Ke still sent a message: We have to use our money to raise children, and if these planting stars are not useful, we should return them to the family.
Unexpectedly, Ouyang Kong's interface just switched over, and she slipped her hand and sent this message to Ouyang Kong. Ouyang Kong quickly replied: Don't worry, dear! I can afford to raise the child and plant the star. We are not short of money!
This arrogant tone inexplicably made Meng Ke feel a little jealous of the rich. His hand speed, which he had before the time travel, returned and he quickly typed out a line of words: I'm not talking to you! Get out of here!
Ouyang Kong replied while in a meeting: Oh! It turns out that the message just now was sent to Lei Hu.
Meng Ke was curious: How do you know it was sent to Lei Hu and not to Luo Tian?
Could it be that this guy was monitoring Lei Hu and Luo Tian's computer? It was no wonder Meng Ke thought too much. She felt that Ouyang Kong was capable of doing this.
Ouyang Kong replied quickly: "Didn't Mengmeng realize that Lei Hu is the only one in our family who is poor?"
Meng Ke couldn't stand this person talking about Lei Hu's husband, so she angrily replied with three words: I'm poor too!
The next second, Mengke’s account received a transfer of tens of billions.
Ouyang Kong then sent a message: Wife, is that enough? If not, I'll transfer more.
For the first time, Meng Ke experienced the feeling of being soft-hearted and uttered one word with a grunt: Enough!
She had no doubt that if she said it was not enough, this guy would give her another 10 billion.
With this money, Meng Ke didn't think about spending it recklessly, but started to plan for his future livelihood.
Raising a child costs money, and raising a child on the main planet is no different from raising a money-eating beast.
It may not be possible for her to plant now, and purification is definitely not possible.
Thinking of how Luo Tian often sold the puppets he made in the live broadcast room, Meng Ke thought she could learn from him. She didn't do the live broadcast, but continued to run the small shop she opened when she first came to the interstellar space. She just didn't know if the sculptures she made would still have special effects now that she had lost her mental power.
Whether it works or not, you will know if you try it now.
Meng Ke couldn't even open the folding compartment of her computer, so she had to run downstairs to ask Luo Tian to help her get the carving knife and the previously purified wood block. She then sat cross-legged on the sofa in the living room and started carving.
Uncle Lei used to carve by watching the videos shot by Mengke. This time, it was a rare opportunity to watch in person, so he hurried over to watch and even recorded it on his computer.
Meng Ke carved very seriously. Because her mental strength had just been exhausted, her head would hurt if she worked for a long time. After barely finishing one carving, Meng Ke stopped immediately.
Uncle Lei snatched it away, turned it 360 degrees to play with it, and then he praised it twice and stuffed it into the detector. The value of the instrument soared to an unprecedented height.
Uncle Lei was dumbfounded, and he opened his mouth twice before speaking: "You are too awesome! You have no mental strength left, yet you are still brave enough to reach new heights. I don't respect anyone but you now!"
Uncle Lei gave Meng Ke a thumbs up sincerely.
Meng Ke leaned back on the sofa, holding her forehead. "I can't do it anymore! I'm too useless now. I have to rest for half a day after carving one. It's nothing like before."
Uncle Lei didn't think so: "This one of yours is worth ten of mine. After I carve ten, you'll be able to rest, right? Tsk tsk! Why do I feel so unhappy just thinking about it!"
Uncle Lei himself is a gifted dog, but now he hates all dogs that are more talented than him equally.
Meng Ke didn't bother to look at his resentful eyes and pointed at the detector: "I heard that you sell wood carvings in the live broadcast room. What price can this sell for?"
If the selling price in the live broadcast room is not as good as that in the online store, she will sell it in the online store.
Uncle Lei's eyes widened in shock: "You actually want to sell such a good thing?!"
Meng Ke rolled her eyes: "You know I don't have any mental strength now. If you don't work hard to make money, you want to starve my baby to death."
"Who wants to starve my nephew to death?"
Luo Jing walked in, and when he heard that someone dared to starve his little nephew, his aura immediately became full.
Uncle Lei grabbed the small wooden sculpture and pointed it at Meng Ke: "She! She has to rely on selling wooden sculptures to support her children!"
Luo Jing took the wooden sculpture from Uncle Lei's hand very naturally, without even looking at it, and put it directly into the folding compartment of the light computer.
The next second, Meng Ke received a transfer reminder.
Luo Jing raised his chin: "I bought it!"
The entire transaction was completed in one go. Uncle Lei only got angry when he saw the wood carving disappear: "She said she would sell this wood carving in my live broadcast room!"
Meng Ke also felt that this was not a good idea, but when she opened her tablet computer and saw Luo Jing's transfer, she immediately changed her mind: "Second Uncle, aren't your live broadcasts usually at night now? If the price is good, I can engrave another one."
"What do you mean? If the price is not good, you won't take care of my live broadcast room?"
No matter how eccentric Second Uncle Lei was, he was still the elder of the family. They usually quarreled, but now Second Uncle was obviously a little angry. Meng Ke still had to smile and say, "I'll carve another one after I've rested up. Second Uncle will definitely be able to use it in the live broadcast tonight. But if the live broadcast room doesn't work well, I won't do it again in the future."
Uncle Lei immediately grasped the key point: "Do you want to cooperate with me for a long time?"
Meng Ke chuckled: "It depends on the situation. If the effect is good, we will cooperate for a long time."
Uncle Lei's eyes lit up: "No problem! Watch me tonight, I'll send out the notice now."
Luo Jing raised his eyebrows: "I didn't expect that even at this point, you can still support the family."
