Drinking beer and eating crayfish is the most comfortable thing to do in the summer evening. For me, this moment also means a year of hard work, crayfish farming, I am 43 years old this year and live in a peaceful little village. Twenty years ago, I got married and had a son and a daughter. However, as a man, how to maintain a family and let his wife and children live a worry-free life has always been a headache for me.
At first, I farmed for a living, bending down day after day, but after a busy year, I sold the rice, deducting the cost, and the remaining money was only enough for the basic expenses of the family. Thirteen years ago, my wife and I went to the city to work, found work in a factory, and for a time had a stable income. However, at the beginning of last year, the efficiency of the factory declined, layoffs were heard, and I lost my job.
In this difficult situation, I received news from my hometown that my mother had suffered a stroke, was paralyzed and bedridden, and needed someone to take care of her. With no choice, my wife and I returned to our hometown in the countryside. I used to think that my life would never be related to crayfish farming, however, fate always seemed to be unexpected.
While I was thinking about how to improve my livelihood, my wife's cousin showed up and gave me a suggestion to consider growing crayfish, because he opened a restaurant in the county seat, and one of the best-selling dishes was spicy crayfish. This suggestion broke my original livelihood thinking, so I consulted some villagers with farming experience, bought crayfish seedlings, and started farming crayfish.
After a year of hard work, the crayfish have finally grown, and they are large in the rice fields, looking very competitive. At that time, I started thinking about how to sell these crayfish and turn the fruits of my labor into income. At this time, I received a call from my second cousin, who heard that I had raised crayfish and wanted me to sell them to him. However, the price made me hesitant.
The second cousin proposed a price of 10 yuan per catty, which was far lower than my expectations. I struggled with whether to accept his offer, but my wife's cousin also had an idea, and he offered to let me go to the county farmer's market to see the crayfish market. My wife even deliberately misled me into thinking that her relatives were interested in buying crayfish in order to compare prices.
I went to the county to find wholesale prices for crayfish. According to the size of the crayfish, the price varies greatly, and the wholesale price of large green crayfish reaches 14 yuan per catty, which is a quite attractive price for me. When I got home, my wife's cousin was already waiting there, and he brought another relative who ran the restaurant and wanted to buy my crayfish.
This relative recognized the quality of my crayfish and proposed a price of 14 yuan per catty, while promising to adjust according to market conditions to ensure fairness. This price makes me very satisfied, which means that it is 4 yuan a pound more than the second cousin's offer, which will be a lot of income for me. We made a cooperation agreement and he paid the deposit and was ready to leave.
At this time, my wife told me a lie and exposed it, and my cousin just advised me not to rush to accept the low price. My wife even suggested that his relatives also had a restaurant and hoped that I could negotiate with them. I thought it was a wise suggestion, so I went to the county farmer's market and looked at the wholesale price of crayfish, and found that my crayfish were even more expensive than the market price, which made me very satisfied.
My cousin's advice is my first priority for seeking more benefits for me and maintaining my family's financial stability. For my second cousin's dissatisfaction, I chose to block his number, because between family affection and business, I paid more attention to maintaining the family's economic situation. This decision may seem cold, but it is actually for the benefit of my family, and I believe it is a wise move.
