Chapter 46

The big black dog came to Wan Ping'an's side, wagging its tail to please him.

Wan Ping'an put the chicks down and patted the big black dog's head, but didn't expect the big black dog to open its mouth and lick him, leaving his hands covered in saliva.

"Seeing the big black dog lick my hand, I think of Shazhu."

"After Qin Huairu marries into the Sihe Academy, Shazhu will enter 'lick-dog' mode. Is his licking of Qin Huairu just like this big black dog?"

Wan Ping'an wanted to laugh.

Qin Huairu hadn't married into the Sihe Academy yet, and maybe she didn't even know Jia Dongxu. Shazhu was still just a young man who looked a bit mature for his age.

"So many again?"

"It seems the chicken coop I built is too small."

Cai Quanwu looked at the chicks Wan Ping'an brought.

"Old Cai, there are more and more chicks; you definitely can't take care of them alone."

"Find another trustworthy person to take care of these chicks specifically. When the chickens grow up, the males can be eaten for meat, and the females can lay eggs."

Wan Ping'an didn't want Cai Quanwu to be distracted.

The six mu of land was the most important thing. If the crops in the field were stolen because he was taking care of the chicks, that would be the biggest loss.

Cai Quanwu nodded.

Finding someone was easy; there were plenty of people without jobs.

For the next period, Wan Ping'an kept selling tomatoes.

Some bought with money, some traded with goods.

"Finally sold out."

"This period of time has exhausted me."

After selling the tomatoes, Wan Ping'an let out a long breath.

He looked back at his house; there were many more things—many crop seeds, some cured meat, and even a tiger skin.

Collect!

Wan Ping'an finished checking and waved his hand, collecting most of the supplies into his personal space.

There were too many beasts in the courtyard.

It wasn't safe to keep them at home.

Every day, after he sold the tomatoes, he would collect most of the supplies into his space.

What he kept at home was only a small portion, just for show.

Jia family.

Jia Zhangshi stood at the door, looking toward the back courtyard.

"That little brat Wan Ping'an, selling tomatoes for so many days, he must have made a fortune."

"I estimate at least several thousand yuan, plus so many good things."

The more Jia Zhangshi said, the redder her eyes became.

She was very certain that Wan Ping'an had made a fortune.

Jia Gensheng and Jia Dongxu kept their heads down, not daring to say a word, fearing that Jia Zhangshi would notice them.

When Jia Zhangshi was in a bad mood, she would curse whoever she caught.

"Jia Gensheng, why are you keeping your head down?"

"I must have been blind when I married you."

"Look at you, a fourth-grade fitter at the rolling mill, occasionally able to earn extra money, yet you don't earn as much as a little brat farming. Aren't you ashamed?"

"And you, Jia Dongxu, you haven't caught a single wild duck. Aren't you embarrassed?"

Compared to Wan Ping'an.

Jia Zhangshi felt the two men in her family were too useless.

Even the two of them combined couldn't compare to Wan Ping'an.

Opposite.

Yi Zhonghai's house.

Yi Zhonghai's face was gloomy, and First Aunt's expression was anxious.

"Head of the house, did something happen?"

First Aunt looked at Yi Zhonghai.

"Nothing, I'm thinking about Wan Ping'an."

"He is the biggest unstable factor, hindering my control over the Sihe Academy. I must completely subdue him or drive him out of the Sihe Academy."

Yi Zhonghai frowned.

He had asked Wan Ping'an to share the tomatoes, but Ping'an had refused and even confronted him fiercely, seriously affecting his image.

There was one more important point.

The number one thug he had cultivated, Shazhu, couldn't beat Wan Ping'an.

"No, I have to go discuss this with the Old Lady."

"The Old Lady is knowledgeable and experienced; she must have a good idea."

Yi Zhonghai got up and went to the back courtyard to see Deaf Old Lady. The two were in cahoots and had long since reached a cooperation agreement; they were grasshoppers on the same rope.

The next morning.

Wan Ping'an arrived at his six mu of land.

"The tomatoes are sold out; it's time to focus on crops."

"Go hire two temporary workers, clean up the tomato vines, and plow the land again. I'm preparing to plant new crops."

Wan Ping'an instructed Cai Quanwu.

He had money now.

He could hire people.

For this kind of manual labor without technical content, Wan Ping'an didn't intend to do it himself.

He would only do technical work.

"Wait, I asked you to find someone to raise chickens; how are they growing?"

Wan Ping'an called out to Cai Quanwu, who was about to go find people.

"Found them, they'll be in place in the next two days."

Cai Quanwu answered.

Wan Ping'an nodded and let him go find people.

Less than an hour later, Cai Quanwu returned with two strong temporary workers.

"Ping'an, you have magical planting techniques; you should plant more land. Is six mu a bit too little?"

"Don't you want to expand the planting scale?"

Wan Ping'an made a suggestion.

"The time isn't right yet."

"Not considering it for now."

Wan Ping'an shook his head.

Watching the two temporary workers work, they were all very diligent.

Cai Quanwu didn't say much.

He was just an employee; Wan Ping'an was the boss.

Leaving the work to Cai Quanwu, Wan Ping'an returned to the Quadrangle Courtyard Academy.

"Look, Wan Ping'an is back."

"Tell me, is Wan Ping'an the richest person in our courtyard?"

"Definitely. The tomatoes he sold were five mao each. How many do you think he sold in these days?"

"I estimate two or three thousand. He must have at least several thousand yuan in his hands."

"I remember, my cousin's family has a daughter, one year younger than Wan Ping'an, and she's very pretty. It would be perfect to introduce her to him."

"I also remember, my cousin's family has a daughter..."

The old Wan Ping'an wasn't well-liked in the courtyard.

Now it was different.

He had made a fortune!
