Chapter 25

"I think it'll be about ten minutes."

The people by the river were all waiting to see Jia Dongxu make a fool of himself, all waiting to see him fall in.

When Jia Dongxu was catching wild ducks.

Wan Ping'an arrived at the small tavern.

"Xueru, look who's here?"

Inside the tavern counter, Xu Huirong and Chen Xueru were chatting; Chen Xueru was facing inward, and Xu Huirong was facing the door, seeing Wan Ping'an at a glance.

"Who?"

Chen Xueru turned her head and saw Wan Ping'an; she was stunned for a moment, her face turning slightly red.

"Did I catch you?"

Xu Huirong laughed.

When the two sisters were talking about Wan Ping'an, Wan Ping'an stood still.

He didn't expect that just as he arrived at the small tavern, he would see an old acquaintance; isn't this He Daqing?

How did he come to Zhengyang Sect?

Then, he saw a shoulder pole, looked at He Daqing again, and reacted; it wasn't He Daqing, this is Cai Quanwu from under the Zhengyang Gate.

The two were played by the same person, both with a paralyzed face image.

"Got it!"

"My six mu of land, if I find someone to watch it, I don't have to worry about anything happening."

"Cai Quanwu is a porter, he doesn't have a formal job; if I hire him, he can have a stable income, and he would definitely be willing to go."

Wan Ping'an thought of a good way.

"Wait, are you willing to find a stable job?"

Wan Ping'an saw Cai Quanwu put down his things and was about to leave, so he quickly called him to stop.

"You want to hire me long-term?"

Cai Quanwu's eyes lit up.

A porter is someone who moves things for others, moves furniture, moves dowries, he moves whatever can be moved.

When there is work, he can eat and drink his fill.

When there is no work, it's very normal to go hungry for two or three days.

Of course he wants to find a stable job, but stable jobs are too hard to find.

Buying a job with money, he doesn't have any savings.

"Right, you go watch the land for me, I'll give you five yuan a month, how about that?"

"The work isn't tiring, but you can't leave without permission."

Wan Ping'an nodded.

Five yuan isn't much, but it isn't little either.

Cai Quanwu working for a month might not even earn five yuan, and even if he could earn it, it would be tiring to death; how could it be as easy as watching land?

Wan Ping'an hiring him was mainly to prevent man-made disasters.

He is currently planting rice and tomatoes, and there will definitely be more varieties in the future, watermelons, pumpkins, and he might even plant fruit trees.

These are all things that make people jealous.

If there isn't a reliable person watching for him, maybe overnight, they would all be stolen, and by then, he wouldn't even have time to cry.

"Ping'an, what do you do?"

"Why do you need to hire someone to help you watch the land?"

Xu Huirong and Chen Xueru came to Wan Ping'an's side.

Cai Quanwu seemed a bit nervous.

With his paralyzed face image, holding a shoulder pole, standing beside a handsome young man and two beauties, he looked a bit out of place!

Cai Quanwu was also very curious, what does Wan Ping'an do?

What land does he need to watch?

"I'm just a farmer."

"Otherwise, why would I hire Cai Quanwu to watch the land?"

Wan Ping'an answered with a smile.

"A farmer?"

"You aren't lying to me, are you?"

Chen Xueru didn't believe it.

From ancient times to the present, farming has never been a profitable business.

Even if you need to watch the land, to guard it, it's all done by your own family; if you hire someone to watch the land, the money earned probably won't be enough to pay the person hired.

"I'm really just a farmer, it's just that the things I grow are a bit special, and their value is relatively high."

"Cai Quanwu, five yuan, are you going or not?"

Wan Ping'an asked again.

"Go, of course I'll go!"

Cai Quanwu agreed very readily.

To be able to earn money easily and stably, anyone who wouldn't go is a fool!

Watching land is much easier than moving things for people.

As a porter, he often had to travel long distances carrying one or two hundred pounds of things; often after a job, he would be so tired he couldn't even walk a step.

"It's settled then."

"I'll give you two yuan first, then give you the remaining two yuan in the middle of the month, and give you one yuan at the end of the month, how about that?"

Wan Ping'an had watched the little woman under the Zhengyang Sect.

Cai Quanwu is a trustworthy person who keeps his promises.

Otherwise.

Wan Ping'an wouldn't have hired him.

Cai Quanwu nodded repeatedly.

Wan Ping'an gave him two yuan directly, agreed on the time, and took him to the fields.

"Ping'an, are you really just a farmer?"

"Or rather, are you only a farmer?"

"Do you have any other jobs?"

Chen Xueru looked at Wan Ping'an.

Wan Ping'an's temperament is very special, not at all like a farmer, yet every time Wan Ping'an comes, he carries a steel fork on his shoulder.

The mud on the steel fork is still fresh, obviously just used.

"For now, I'm just a farmer; as for the future, who can say for sure?"

"Boss Xu, buy wine!"

Wan Ping'an answered Chen Xueru's question with a smile.
