Chapter 68

“Absolutely not!”

“Wan Ping'an is giving away watermelons. If I dare to stop him, I don’t need Wan Ping'an to speak; the people in the courtyard could drown me with one spit each!”

Yi Zhonghai was very distressed.

Wan Ping'an was a hedgehog, leaving him nowhere to bite!

Sha Zhu was in the middle courtyard.

Watching the lively scene in the backyard, he gnashed his teeth, his eyes almost spitting fire. He hammered the wall with a fierce punch, letting out a miserable scream on the spot.

His fist was broken and bleeding!

Across the way, at the Jia family, Jia Zhang stood at the door, staring at the backyard!

“That little beast is selling watermelons. I curse him to not sell a single one, to have them all rot in the courtyard, and to lose all his money!”

Smelling the faint, clear fragrance of the watermelon.

Jia Zhang swallowed a large mouthful of saliva again. She couldn’t remember how many times she had swallowed, only feeling her stomach bloated—she was full without even eating.

“Damao, Jiecheng, go call all the children in the courtyard over.”

Wan Ping'an said, taking out two big watermelons and cutting them open in public.

The children all came over.

“Come, one piece of big watermelon each.”

“After you finish eating, go shout in the neighborhood that I, Wan Ping'an, am selling watermelons again. When you come back, I’ll give you one mao each.”

Wan Ping'an said to the children.

The children were overjoyed—they got to eat watermelon and earn pocket money.

The parents didn’t disagree either.

Anyway, the children were idle, so they might as well go out and run around to earn a mao.

However, what did children need pocket money for?

After returning home, it would naturally be confiscated!

After the children finished eating the watermelon, they all ran out.

Starting from the Sihe Academy, the children were ready.

Not long after, people who had bought Wan Ping'an’s tomatoes and pumpkins came to the Sihe Academy one after another to buy his watermelons.

At this time.

Wan Ping'an cut open two more big watermelons.

He cut them into small pieces, each one bite-sized, so those who wanted to buy could taste before buying.

Jia Zhang finally couldn’t hold back.

She sneaked into the backyard, standing in the crowd, greedily smelling the clear, sweet scent of the watermelon.

“This watermelon is too delicious.”

“How do you sell it?”

“I want to buy one.”

After tasting it, someone wanted to buy it on the spot.

“Eh?”

“They threw the watermelon rinds on the ground.”

“Aren’t there some rinds with a bit of red flesh left that can be eaten?”

Jia Zhang discovered a new continent.

She quietly squatted down, picked up a piece of rind with red flesh, stuffed it into her shoe, stood up, and slowly moved toward another rind.

After half an hour of effort.

All the rinds on the ground that had red flesh were stuffed into Jia Zhang’s shoes.

No one noticed her actions.

Of course.

That was just what she thought.

“Haha, Wan, you think if you don’t sell me watermelon, I can’t eat it?”

“I can pick up the rinds.”

“Sigh, these bastards, when they taste the watermelon, can’t they leave a bit more red flesh?”

Jia Zhang complained.

Most people who tasted the watermelon gnawed it very clean, almost breaking the rind. Naturally, she wouldn’t pick those up; she could only pick up the ones with red flesh.

Her shoes couldn’t hold any more.

Jia Zhang turned and went home.

At home.

Jia Dongxu was sleeping soundly.

Jia Gen hadn’t returned yet.

Jia Zhang took all the rinds out of her shoes and placed them on the table. She counted them—there were seven pieces, each with some red on them.

“Mom, did you eat watermelon?”

Jia Dongxu woke up.

Looking at the rinds on the table, all gnawed, he thought Jia Zhang had stolen some to eat.

“No!”

“These are rinds I picked up in the backyard. They are too wasteful; there’s still a bit of red flesh left!”

Jia Zhang said, picking up a small piece of rind.

Crunch crunch crunch!

She gnawed it clean.

The rind was gnawed through.

“So sweet!”

“That little beast Wan Ping'an, the watermelon he plants is really delicious.”

“Ptooey, it’s a bit stinky!”

Jia Zhang tasted the sweetness, but also the foot odor.

“You picked up other people’s leftover rinds?”

Jia Dongxu couldn’t believe it.

“You despise it?”

“Then I’ll eat it myself!”

Jia Zhang picked up another piece.

“Me too!”

The sweet fragrance was too much for Jia Dongxu. He reached out, took a small piece of rind, and like Jia Zhang, gnawed wildly.

“So sweet!”

“Eh, why is there a stinky smell?”

“Hahaha, the watermelon Wan Ping'an plants is stinky. I’ll go out and help him advertise it so he can’t sell a single one!”

Jia Dongxu’s eyes lit up.

Holding a small piece of rind, he gnawed while rushing out.

“Come back, the watermelon he plants isn’t stinky.”

“When I picked up the rinds, I was afraid Wan Ping'an would see me, so I stuffed them all into my shoes. The smell you’re smelling is my foot odor.”

Jia Zhang was shocked.

She couldn’t let Jia Dongxu go advertise it; otherwise, wouldn’t everyone know she picked up rinds?

“You brought them back in your shoes?”

Wah!

Jia Dongxu vomited.

He vomited his breakfast!

Backyard.

“My watermelon, one mao per pound!” ===== CHAPTER 144 =====

Wan Ping'an announced.

Everyone was stunned—so expensive!

But they weren’t surprised.

The tomatoes and pumpkins Wan Ping'an sold were all shockingly expensive.

The key was the good quality!

Those who bought at a high price might have felt a pang of pain, but not one regretted it!

“I’ll take one!”

Someone bought one on the spot.

In less than ten minutes, over three hundred pounds were sold—thirty-plus yuan!

“Is selling watermelon this profitable?”

“More profitable than working. I’m going to plant watermelons too!”

“Don’t dream, wake up. It’s not that planting watermelons is profitable; it’s that Wan Ping'an’s watermelons are profitable. Whatever crop he plants is of tribute grade!”

The entire Sihe Academy was shocked.

Then came a wave of envy—it was more profitable and easier than Yi Zhonghai, who had the highest salary! ===== CHAPTER 145 =====
