The White-Bone Demon of the Farm is as rich as a country

Zhang Erqiang and Ma Xiaoliu watched the excitement at the end of the village for a while, listening to the villagers' various discussions, secretly mocking you fools who know nothing and just gossip behind their backs. If you really offend that girl Meng Ruyue, humph, you will never be finished until you have suffered a layer of pain. Look at the old Meng family now, they are as honest as quails. Otherwise, in this opportunity to show off and take advantage, that shameless family would have come to you long ago, and they only paid the thirty taels of silver to make peace.

Then, suddenly remembering that he was still poisoned, he lost interest and quietly left the crowd with his head down. The Meng family had to pay money for provoking that girl, but what about him? That would cost him his life! Thinking about it made him even more depressed.

Ru Yue and Chu Ning'an were on their way to the village when they saw the two listless people from a distance. They were not in a hurry and just stood by the road watching them staggering towards them. In fact, although the two people still wandered around the village without doing any work, they were much better than before. At least they no longer flirted with cats and dogs.

The two saw Ru Yue and Chu Ning'an hurriedly taking a few steps. Zhang Erqiang said weakly, "Sister Yue, Brother Chu, you two are not at home to watch over the house construction. You are standing here on the roadside waiting for us, right?"

"Brother Erqiang, is the poison taking effect? I remember the antidote I gave you is enough for two uses." Ru Yue asked with a smile instead of answering.

Ma Xiaoliu rolled his eyes, looking as if he didn't want to pay attention to her. He looked at Chu Ning'an and said, "Brother Chu, please keep an eye on her and don't let her become an annoyance." After saying that, he snorted viciously.

Chu Ning'an was amused by this, but he didn't tease them. He asked directly, "Brother Erqiang, now that the busy farming season is over, the villagers are free. Ruyue has made a living and wants to find two people to help out. Do you two want to come along and try?"

The two of them looked at each other and had plans in mind. In the past two months, whenever Ru Yue had work to do, they paid her in full. She never deducted or treated her badly because she was holding their lives on the line. And seeing that they had hired so many people to build the house, they thought that they really had a good livelihood. The two of them really didn't want to farm, and thought that it would be a good thing if Ru Yue really had some work to do.

Ma Xiaoliu perked up immediately after hearing this and stopped blaming Ruyue. "Sister Yue, Brother Chu, just tell us what you two do for a living. We will definitely do everything we can for you. Aren't the things we did before pretty good?"

Ru Yue didn't want to keep them in suspense and directly told them that she wanted them to go to the nearby villages to collect chili peppers and black beans. Then she continued, "At this time, I guess there won't be much left in the village, and the price is hard to predict. If you two are willing to take this job, go around and ask around. Once you have figured it out, we'll start collecting. Don't worry about the wages, it's still fifteen cents a day."

Zhang Erqiang heard her say this and knew she was not just making trouble. Thinking about what had happened in the past two months, he always felt that Ru Yue was someone who could accomplish great things. It would be better for the two of them to work with her than to be village vagrants farming. So he nodded to Ma Xiaoliu and said, "Sister Ru Yue, this is a good thing. We live in the same village, and you know what kind of brothers we are. If you don't mind us, we will work hard for you."

He paused for a moment, and Ma Xiaoliu nodded repeatedly before continuing, "We two really don't like doing this kind of farm work, but we both understand. Dried chilies take up space, and they have to be weighed. We can go out and collect a small amount, but it's hard to handle a large amount. That's one thing. And we're going to collect a lot for you, so we're sure there won't be a small amount. Where should we put it after we collect it? If it gets damp and moldy, we'll lose a lot of money."

Seeing his thorough analysis and his careful consideration of her every detail, Ru Yue felt even more confident that she had made the right choice. She immediately replied, "Brother Erqiang is absolutely right. You and Brother Xiaoliu should go around and ask around for a few days. Once we've confirmed that there's something available, we can buy whatever we need. By the way, Brother Erqiang, can you two drive a carriage?"

"I learned how to drive a cart from my friends outside two years ago. My hands may be a little rusty now, but I'll get used to it after a couple of rides. Don't worry, sister Ruyue. The place where this thing is stored is a big deal. If it gets damp, grows hair and moldy, everything will be ruined." Zhang Erqiang reminded again.

"Okay, I get it. You two should go out and explore the surrounding villages and towns starting tomorrow. When you've found out everything, come back to me. Your wages will be calculated starting tomorrow."

After recruiting these two "soldiers", the two of them felt relieved to arrange the next things. After all, there were still orders from Tianxianglou that needed to be delivered on time.
