Chapter 103

Lunch ended.

Wan Ping'an started selling pumpkins again.

The news had spread all morning, and people from the neighborhood knew; more and more people came to buy pumpkins, and Wan Ping'an made more and more money.

Yi Zhonghai leaned against the door frame, watching the people coming and going to buy pumpkins, his face clouded with gloom!

"No, I can't indulge Wan Ping'an anymore."

"His problem is huge; it's not the problem of selling pumpkins, it's the problem of not being united; he is detached from the masses, eating alone, and doesn't know how to share."

"As an elder and the First Elder of the courtyard, I have a responsibility to educate him well."

Yi Zhonghai found an excuse for himself.

The more he thought about it, the more it seemed to be the case.

He was righteous.

Wan Ping'an was a lost lamb who had gone astray and needed him to redeem him.

"Husband, Ping'an is still a child, can you stop going after a child?"

"Ping'an is not an unreasonable person; as long as we don't provoke him, he won't go after us either, why ask for trouble?"

The First Elder's wife couldn't watch anymore.

Yi Zhonghai meddled in too many things.

"What do you mean I'm going after him?"

"I'm saving him!"

"I don't want to see him go further and further down the wrong path, sinking deeper and deeper; this is my responsibility as the First Elder!"

Yi Zhonghai spoke in a high-sounding manner.

The First Elder's wife sighed and stopped talking.

Wan Ping'an's rapid rise affected Yi Zhonghai's influence in the Sihe Academy; that was Wan Ping'an's biggest mistake!

To fully control the Sihe Academy, one couldn't bypass Wan Ping'an; how could Yi Zhonghai tolerate him?

One mountain cannot hold two tigers!

The Jia family.

Jia Zhangshi finished lunch and started her nap.

It wasn't until three or four in the afternoon that Jia Zhangshi woke up.

"Old Jia, I just remembered something very important; go and keep an eye on Wan Ping'an selling pumpkins."

"When he finishes selling, you come back."

Jia Zhangshi slapped her thigh, showing a triumphant expression.

Jia Gensheng shivered.

Jia Zhangshi definitely had another crooked idea.

From the time they married until now, whatever ideas Jia Zhangshi had, she planned them, commanded from behind the scenes, and let Jia Gensheng execute them.

If it succeeded.

It was Jia Zhangshi's credit, and she alone enjoyed the fruits of victory.

If it failed.

It was Jia Gensheng's responsibility, and any negative consequences were borne by Jia Gensheng alone.

"I don't think it's necessary, right?"

"If you want to eat the pumpkin Wan Ping'an grew, I'll find a way; it's one yuan each, I'll add some money, I'll definitely be able to buy one back for you."

Jia Gensheng shook his head.

Wan Ping'an was too ruthless, he didn't want to clash with him again.

"What are you babbling about?"

"I said go, so go, why aren't you going yet?"

Jia Zhangshi glared with her triangular eyes.

Jia Gensheng turned and left; he didn't run away, he went to execute the surveillance mission.

Facing Jia Zhangshi, he only dared to protest a word or two; if Jia Zhangshi didn't agree, the only thing he could do was execute her plan.

Soon.

Dinner time arrived.

Jia Gensheng went home for dinner.

"What are you eating for?"

"Take your bun and go back to keep watching Wan Ping'an."

Jia Zhangshi was very annoyed.

"By the way, how many pumpkins did he sell?"

Jia Zhangshi asked.

"He sent four more carts this afternoon, and they're almost sold out; I estimate he can sell two more carts."

Jia Gensheng replied.

"Black-hearted money, this is black-hearted money."

"Selling a pumpkin for one yuan, that's black-hearted money!"

Jia Zhangshi's eyes were burning with jealousy.

If only this money were hers!

After dinner.

Not long after, the sun set.

The number of people coming to buy pumpkins decreased rapidly.

"Tiezhu, that's it for today."

"There are still some pumpkins left, help me move them into the house."

Tired for a whole day.

Wan Ping'an decided to rest early.

He and Tiezhu started getting busy, and Xu Damao also helped Wan Ping'an move pumpkins with several other teenagers; soon, they were all moved into the house.

Wan Ping'an was generous and gave each of them a pumpkin.

When Wan Ping'an went home and closed the door, he glanced in Jia Gensheng's direction.

"Watched me all day, do you really think I'm blind?"

"I've left a heavy gift for you!"

"Jia Zhangshi, the gift I left for you is very special, don't you dare disappoint me!"

When Wan Ping'an closed the door, he had a bright smile on his face.

There's a good show to watch!
