“I realized it from my spouse.”

Cheng Yun slept till practically midday, having fun with a uncommon indulgence of staying in mattress lazily even when the solar was excessive within the sky.

When he awoke, Yang Hongjin was already awake. He didn’t know the way lengthy he had been awake. As quickly as Cheng Yun opened his eyes, he noticed Yang Hongjin’s responsible eyes darting round. He Laughed and known as out, “Spouse.”

If it weren’t for the lingering heat from somebody touching and pinching him, Cheng Yun would have questioned him about what responsible act he had carried out.

He pretended to not discover and stretched lazily. He was sluggish, and it took him some time for his thoughts to clear up. Then instantly, he thought, “Are you hungry?”

“Hungry,” Yang Hongjin’s abdomen growled as quickly because the phrases left his mouth. He rubbed his stomach and actually replied, “Very hungry.”

Upon listening to that, Cheng Yun couldn’t keep in mattress any longer. He acquired up and energetically began his day.

Throughout this era, Cheng Yun had been busy with the affairs of Yueqiong Tower, however he hadn’t forgotten in regards to the second crop he had planted. After lunch, he went to the yard to test. The small batch he had planted earlier was rising averagely resulting from unfavorable climate situations, whereas some had been creating properly at a traditional tempo.

Not figuring out if it was due to the earlier use of the Speech Spirit, Cheng Yun felt that this small patch of land was significantly fertile. Even with out the second use of the Speech Spirit, it appeared that a number of vegetation had been near maturity.

He watered them with some rice water and patiently cultivated them. Quickly, he would have the ability to use the Speech Spirit once more. After giving it some thought, Cheng Yun determined to straight use the Speech Spirit on Yang Hongjin this time.

After taking good care of the crops, he went to feed the chickens and geese. The group of chicks and ducklings he purchased had grown up. There have been two feminine chickens, one feminine duck, and the remaining had been males.

A couple of days in the past, Cheng Yun slaughtered the oldest duck, the one he obtained as a dowry through the marriage ceremony and cooked a 5-Cup Duck dish for everybody. Nowadays, he had been cooking some meat dishes to nourish Yang Hongjin’s physique. Now that he had cash, he now not wanted to lift chicks himself; he might straight purchase mature chickens and geese. After this group of chickens and geese had been completed, he deliberate to maintain solely two females for egg-laying and never elevate any new ones sooner or later.

After feeding the chickens and geese, Cheng Yun discovered a crimson piece of paper and took a white radish, a mustard inexperienced, and a garlic bulb. He tied them along with a rope after which pasted the crimson paper outdoors the door, hanging the string of greens subsequent to it.

The villagers who had been keeping track of Cheng Yun’s home noticed this and hurriedly approached him, asking, “Cheng-Ge’er, are you harvesting greens?”

Cheng Yun was startled by the customer and virtually fell off the raised chair. Yang Hongjin, who was beside him, held him tightly, and when Cheng Yun regained his steadiness, he glared on the individual.

The individual appeared to appreciate that his actions had been a bit presumptuous, so he rubbed his nostril and smiled apologetically.

Cheng Yun patted Yang Hongjin’s hand to let him loosen his grip and, when he stood firmly on the bottom, he stated to the individual, “Uncle Solar, proper? Sure, at this time we’re beginning to harvest the greens once more. I’ve listed the sorts of greens we’re harvesting on this paper. In case you have these greens at house, please convey them over. When you see different individuals in your approach again, please allow them to know as properly. Thanks.”

Uncle Solar didn’t count on Cheng-Ge’er to be so well mannered. He shortly bowed and thanked him earlier than turning round and working again. His pace was as quick as grabbing the primary incense stick through the Lunar New Yr.

Cheng Yun introduced two chairs to the doorstep, one for himself and one for Yang Hongjin. He particularly had Li Fan put together a bunch of unfastened change, which he strung collectively and held on Yang Hongjin’s arm. He stated to him, “Identical to final time, are you able to rely?”

“I can,” Yang Hongjin nodded proudly. “I realized it from my spouse.”

Cheng Yun smiled and patted his head. After a brief wait, individuals began coming one after one other to ask in the event that they had been gathering greens. Quickly, Uncle Solar additionally returned, carrying two baskets and a further one on his again, stopping in entrance of them with a smile.

“Cheng-Ge’er, have a look. I’ve two baskets of mustard greens and one basket of garlic. Altogether, it’s about thirty to forty catties. Would you like all of them?”

“Okay, let me have a look first.” Not like the earlier time when he glanced over shortly to avoid wasting time, Cheng Yun fastidiously picked up and examined every merchandise. Nonetheless, as he regarded, his expression modified.

“Uncle Solar, most of those greens are rotten. I can solely decide the great ones.” After saying that, he chosen 5 mustard greens and round ten giant garlic bulbs, pointing at them and saying, “Simply these. Have a look. If there’s no drawback, I’ll weigh them.”

Uncle Solar’s face turned crimson after which pale as he regarded. In the long run, he couldn’t assist however say in frustration, “Cheng-Ge’er, you may’t do that. These greens of mine are all good. Take a look at this one, solely two leaves are dangerous, however it doesn’t have an effect on the remaining. The identical goes for these garlic bulbs. Break off the dangerous components, and the remaining are good.”

He even thought he was being affordable and continued, “Cheng-Ge’er, the value you’re providing is already decrease than the city’s. If all of them had been in such good situation, I’d as properly promote them on the town. It’s best to suppose it over.”

Cheng Yun couldn’t assist however burst into laughter. This individual was attempting to promote rotten greens and nonetheless thought he was in the suitable?

He stood up, crossed his arms, and checked out Uncle Solar with out stepping again an inch. “Uncle Solar, even in case you took these greens to city, nobody would purchase them. I’ve clearly acknowledged the value right here. If you wish to promote, I’ll purchase the great ones. However in case you don’t wish to promote, I received’t drive you. You may take these greens and promote them on the town in case you favor.”

“I’ll purchase all the great greens on the agreed worth. My worth is decrease than on the town, however it saves you the effort and time of choosing and ready to promote there. You don’t need to promote to me in case you don’t wish to, however that doesn’t imply I’ll purchase rotten greens at a low worth.” Cheng Yun, often pleasant and sort, didn’t imply he was a pushover. He took a agency stance, saying, “When you nonetheless can’t settle for that, then please take your greens to city to promote. I’m in no hurry to purchase from you.”

After saying that, he sat again down, adopting an angle of “I don’t care whether or not you promote or not.”

Extra individuals began gathering, conscious that Cheng-Ge’er was gathering greens. A few of them had bought a number of batches earlier than and thought Cheng-Ge’er’s phrases made good sense. They couldn’t assist however level and focus on Uncle Solar’s state of affairs.

Uncle Solar had bought a basket of mustard greens final time, pondering that Cheng Yun didn’t examine them a lot, so he tried to cross off some decrease high quality ones. Unexpectedly, it backfired.

Listening to others gossip about him, Uncle Solar felt each indignant and embarrassed. He needed to promote the greens, however he couldn’t bear the humiliation of promoting them like this. So, he collected the greens, spat on the bottom, and turned to the individuals promoting their produce, saying, “Get up, all of you! He’s simply taking our greens to the city and promoting them at larger costs. What’s it known as? The individuals within the metropolis name it mono, bol…, sure, monopoly! That’s what they name it, monopolizing! When the time comes, you received’t have the ability to promote your greens, and also you’ll have to purchase from him. Then he can proceed to decrease the costs and benefit from us!”

He rotated and glared at Cheng Yun, not saying something. He picked up his personal greens and left.

Cheng Yun was experiencing such a scene for the primary time and couldn’t assist feeling each indignant and amused. In spite of everything, his preliminary intention was merely to earn a living collectively for everybody’s comfort, together with his personal. He additionally needed to have some ease of motion within the village. That’s why he introduced up this matter to the village chief. However he didn’t count on individuals’s hearts to be able to such issues.

Certainly, completely different individuals have completely different mindsets. Since they don’t perceive gratitude and reciprocation, Cheng Yun wouldn’t drive the opposite individual to remain. To be trustworthy, even when he doesn’t purchase greens within the village and goes to the city, he can nonetheless discover individuals keen to promote a big amount of greens to him, so long as he can afford it. He isn’t afraid of not receiving the products.

Maybe some individuals held the identical ideas as Uncle Solar and, after seeing Uncle Solar’s state of affairs, turned again midway. Those that remained had been individuals who had solely bought greens just a few occasions and had been trustworthy and easy.

Cheng Yun fastidiously inspected every individual as they got here, not letting his guard down simply because they’d come earlier than. Steadily, he recognized some greens of lesser high quality, and the opposite social gathering was understanding sufficient to take away them straight. Some individuals even felt embarrassed and provided these greens as a present to Cheng Yun if he didn’t thoughts.

Cheng Yun was honest and sq., not benefiting from others nor letting others benefit from him. With Uncle Solar’s incident, the following strategy of gathering greens went easily. Everybody had conversations and laughter whereas patiently ready for Yang Hongjin to calculate their cash. After receiving the cost, they’d additionally reward Cheng Yun for managing the family members so properly.

The fool was happier to listen to them reward his spouse than to listen to them reward himself. He laughed like an enormous idiot who weighed 300 kilos.

After working tirelessly all day, their house was full of lots of of catties of greens. Cheng Yun knowledgeable everybody that there was no must rush and convey all the pieces without delay. Those that wanted to promote urgently might convey their greens first, whereas those who hadn’t totally ripened might be introduced at a later time. They might proceed to just accept deliveries sooner or later.

Those that had cleared out their storage packing containers fortunately agreed and stated, “Okay, no drawback.” However Cheng Yun had a premonition that the subsequent time they accumulate greens, these individuals could be the primary to convey all of the greens they’d at house.

He shook his head, packed all the pieces up, and requested Yang Hongjin to maneuver all the pieces in entrance of the home inside. After all the pieces was settled, simply as he was about to enter the home, he noticed somebody speeding in the direction of them in a rush.

“Second Brother?” The individual was Yang Hongcai, and Cheng Yun put down what he was holding. “What’s improper?”

Yang Hongcai let loose a sigh of reduction and regarded on the pile of greens in entrance of their home, furrowing his brows. “I heard you’re gathering greens? What’s occurring?”

Cheng Yun adopted his gaze and likewise didn’t perceive why he was asking that, however he answered in truth, “Sure, the village chief talked to everybody about it earlier. Why? Do you even have greens to promote, Second Brother?”

“Ah, why didn’t you inform me about it?” Yang Hongcai stated, however then felt that it wasn’t proper to say it that approach. He scratched his head, trying annoyed, and continued, “Mom has been nagging about it at house these previous few days, saying that even in case you’ve made an enormous deal, you wouldn’t care about your loved ones. Simply yesterday, she lastly stopped speaking about it, and now that she heard you’re gathering greens once more, she began nagging once more.”

Cheng Yun instantly realized. Their vampire stepmother in all probability thought they’d made some huge cash and needed to get a share of it, however she couldn’t convey herself to ask straight. So she despatched Yang Hongcai to speak about it.

Yang Hongcai felt just a little embarrassed. He hadn’t advised his household about serving to Cheng Yun with farming, however since his mother and father requested him to speak about it, he had no selection.

Cheng Yun understood from his scratching his head and cheeks that the state of affairs wasn’t that easy. As anticipated, after some time, Yang Hongcai stated, “Father needs you to come back to our home for dinner tonight, Cheng-Ge’er. Have a look…”

Cheng Yun paused for a second, then shrugged, feeling detached. “Positive, we’ll go together with you.”
