A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 208: The Shameful Farmer and the Fishery Tycoon

"You actually have a wife and children, and you're divorced?"

Leon didn't care much about this story. What he cared about was that Willy was once married and had children.

"Well, many old people in this town know about this." Willy replied helplessly.

"Didn't your children come to see you?" Leon asked.

"My ex-wife has started a new family with someone else. As for the child, he will come occasionally, but I don't want him to come. After all, I don't want to disturb their current life." Willy explained.

"Hey." Leon patted Willy's shoulder, just sighed and said nothing more.

Willy, on the other hand, didn't care about it. After all, so many years had passed. He turned to Leon and said, "If my children don't plan to inherit my fish shop in the future, Leon, would you be willing to take it over?"

"Uh, I don't know." Lyon was stunned when he heard this. He thought for a long time but still didn't give an accurate answer. After all, he still had the Red Star Farm to pay attention to.

"That's right, you are a farmer and have your own job." Willy sighed, thinking of Leon's identity. How could a farmer who is sought after by everyone give up his farm to inherit a fish shop in a small town?

"Maybe you can find a trustworthy apprentice?" Leon suggested when he saw Willy's lost look.

"Not everyone can stand living with the smell of fish on their body every day." Willy shook his head.

"Have you asked your son?" Leon asked. After all, compared to working hard in a big city, Willy's son should not refuse because he has a father who is in the fishery industry to inherit.

"What about Stan? No, he's still in college. We've never talked about this." Willy continued shaking his head. "I'd rather he have a good life than be like me. His mother was right. There's no future in being a fisherman in a small town."

"Excuse me, Willy, how much money do you make every year?" Lyon thought for a moment and then asked Willy.

"Well, the net profit is probably around 6-8WG. If the market is better, it can reach around 10WG." Willy gave the answer after a quick calculation.

"."

Hearing this answer, Leon's heart was full of desire to complain, but in the end he only said one sentence.

"If you tell your son about this income, he will probably make the right choice."

"Why?" Willy asked Leon in confusion.

"Because I used to work for the Joja Group, my monthly salary was only 2000G." Leon gave an example.

"So little?" Willy was stunned. "Aren't they saying the salaries in the city are high?"

"I don't know, but as far as I know, even among the top executives of Joja, excluding the shareholders, the salary of our department manager is only around 4000G. This is the result of him devoting most of his life to the Joja Group." Leon complained.

"Even if we calculate based on your minimum annual income, you'll still earn 5000G a month. This income is enough to crush % of the people in Zuzu City. Just tell your child the truth about this income, and I believe he will make the right decision."

"Is that so?" Willy's eyes lit up after hearing this, but dimmed again in a moment. "But a big city is always more attractive than a small town like this. I don't think he would choose to develop in Pelican Town."

"Who knows? You have to give it a try." Lyon complained. "Well, I will. Thank you, Lyon. Chatting with you has given me some new ideas." Willy nodded and thanked Lyon.

"We are all friends." Leon comforted Willy.

Willy smiled when he heard this. "Actually, I originally planned to give you this shell necklace when I was old. Now your reminder has given me some new expectations for the future. If my child really chooses to inherit my business, then I will leave this shell necklace to him. Don't regret it then."

“Haha.” Leon laughed dryly, then took out the mermaid horn: “It’s just to summon murlocs. My horn can summon mermaids to help.”

"!!!"

Willy widened his eyes and looked at the conch horn in Leon's hand. He swallowed subconsciously: "Really?"

"Why would I lie to you?" Leon looked at Willy speechlessly and complained.

Willy looked at the conch horn in Leon's hand again, and said to him excitedly: "Okay, I was too sentimental, Leon, you always surprise me. My God, these are mermaids, and you can have such a good relationship with them."

Then Willy seemed to realize something and asked quickly, "No, you are not in love with the mermaid, are you?"

"No, I just have a good relationship with them. I don't want to live in the sea for the rest of my life." Leon hurriedly explained for himself.

"Well, yes, I was just about to tell you about this, but it seems you already know it. Although mermaids are very beautiful, the price of marrying them is too high. In fact, the young girls in the town are not much worse than mermaids. I still hope to go drinking, fishing and sea with you in the future." Willy said to Leon with a sigh of relief.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Leon comforted Willy.

"You two have been chatting for so long, aren't you hungry?"

On the other side, Gus weakly shouted to Leon and Willy, "It's time for dinner."

"I'm coming."

Willy and Leon quickly stood up and rushed over to Gus.

By now, Gus had set the table, with three portions of fried cod fillet and some heated canned food on it.

"These are the only ingredients we have, so just eat whatever you want. After this trip, I'll make you a big meal inside the Star Fruit." Guts said with an awkward expression.

"This is much more sumptuous than what I usually eat when I go out to sea, Gus," Willy said quickly to applaud.

"Yeah, it's much better than what I eat on the farm." Leon also agreed, and what he said was true. The main purpose of his food choices on the farm was to just fill his stomach.

"Let's eat first."

Gus thought that the two were just comforting him, but when he saw Leon and Willy eating happily, he suddenly felt that maybe what they said was true.

This made him speechless. A farmer and a fishing tycoon of Pelican Town, two people who should have been the richest people in Pelican Town, now looked like two homeless people who had been hungry for a long time. The contrast between them was too great.
