Chapter 66 Want to be a Guardian

"Wanqing, this farm is so big, aren't you worried if no one is watching over it? Even though the village head and his wife signed a contract to sell themselves, they are not our family after all.

If you ask me, we still need someone from our own family to keep an eye on things on a daily basis, don’t you think?

Our Erzhuang has been working in the fields with your uncle since he was a child. He knows everything about the farm. With him watching over you, there will be absolutely no problems." Aunt Gu repeated the same old story while distributing the fabric.

"Aunt, I don't mean to offend you, but the farm is really small and there is no need to find a manager." Li Wanqing said.

"Don't let him be the manager. Your farm is so big, don't you need a guard? Just let Erzhuang be a guard." Gu Xiaogu said.

Li Wanqing was so angry that she almost laughed. What were Gu Xiaogu and the others thinking? And they were guarding the courtyard?

They are not important people, so why do they need bodyguards?

"Where did you hear that the farm needed guards? We're not a wealthy family, why would we need guards?

Gu Yan and I won't stay here forever. We'll go back to the mountain tomorrow. Although we have this small farm, it only provides enough food and drink.

If you want to have money, Gu Yan has to go hunting." Li Wanqing said.

"No way? You have so much land and you still want the third brother to go hunting?" Gu Xiaogu asked in surprise.

"Well, what will we spend our money on if we don't hunt? We'll have children in the future, and we'll have more places to spend money.

After buying this farm, we now have no money left.

The people in the village also have to wait until the autumn harvest before they can have food to eat.

"We still have to buy food. There are so many places to spend money, how can we not make money?" Li Wanqing said.

Gu Xiaogu thought about it and realized that this was the case. She knew Gu Yan and knew that he had no money at all.

Li Wanqing was just a maid, so even if she had money, she would probably be left with nothing after buying this farm.

But she thought of what Chen Changgen said to her last night.

What did Chen Changgen say? He said, "Shanhua, don't be fooled by your nephew. He just doesn't want to help us.

Think about it, our family only has a dozen acres of land, but we live well. When the years are good, we even have some money left over every year.

Gu Yan has a full fifty acres of land in his hands, and there are only two of them, so their future life will definitely be easy.

You must make him agree to let Dazhuang and Erzhuang go to work on the farm tomorrow.

If he really doesn't want Erzhuang to be the manager, then let him go to work in the farm first, and we can talk about the manager later."

Chen Changgen wanted to play the long game and catch a big fish, so he went to work in the village first and then planned for the future.

Since Li Wanqing, the security guard that the second son asked for, did not agree, he could only follow Changgen's suggestion and let Erzhuang come to work first.

"You're right. You'll have children in the future, so it's good to save some money now.

Since the farm doesn't need a guard, let Erzhuang come and do the work." said Gu Xiaogu.

"It's really unfortunate. Village head Lin said that the village didn't need any more workers, so I asked him to arrange for my cousin Dazhuang to go to work. Now, Village head Lin has come to me and told me that the village doesn't need any more workers for the time being.

How about this, aunt, let cousin Erzhuang wait a while, and let him come when the farm is short of manpower." Li Wanqing declined.

"What? Dazhuang came here to work? When did he come? How come I didn't know?" Gu Xiaogu asked in surprise.

"Da Zhuang and his wife came together this morning. He said he wanted to work, so I asked the village head Lin to arrange it. What's the matter? Does your father know about this, aunt?"

Li Wanqing didn't expect that Gu Xiaogu didn't know that Chen Dazhuang and his wife were coming. She thought it was something their family had discussed beforehand.

It seems that Chen Dazhuang and his wife also have some little thoughts.

But this is none of Li Wanqing's business, she just hired someone to do the work.

Of course Gu Xiaogu didn’t know. If she knew, she would definitely stop him.

Now that Dazhuang has entered the farm to work, they can’t say anything if Li Wanqing refuses Erzhuang to come in, right?

It's not that she is partial, but Dazhuang is not as smart as Erzhuang.

Just like the old man said, if Erzhuang came in to work, maybe in a few years he could become the village head. Even if he couldn't become the village head, with his second son's cleverness, he would definitely be able to get some benefits.

But Dazhuang is different. He is honest and will not cheat.

What should we do now? Li Wanqing just didn't agree to let Erzhuang come over.

Gu Xiaogu quickly came up with a solution. She rolled her eyes and said, "Wanqing, Dazhuang has to take care of the land at home and has no time to come over to work. Why don't you let Erzhuang come over and let Dazhuang go home?"

"Not so good? Since Dazhuang is needed to work at home, I will tell Lin Zhuangtou that Dazhuang will not be allowed to come tomorrow.

Anyway, there's no shortage of people on the farm, and I stuffed Dazhuang in because he's a relative," Li Wanqing said.

When Gu Xiaogu heard this, she was shocked. She couldn't let her second son get in and then kick her eldest son out.

So he quickly said, "Well, Wanqing, your uncle and I can handle the household matters. Why don't you let Dazhuang help you here?"

"No need, aunt, it's just a small farm, there's no need for my cousin to come all the way here to help, let him stay at home.

After all, it would be bad if my cousin delayed family matters because of coming to the farm to work." Li Wanqing was speechless about this little aunt Gu.

He clearly wanted to come to the village to work and earn money, yet he acted so arrogantly and said he was here to help them? It was really funny.

Gu Xiaogu was dumbfounded. She didn't expect Li Wanqing to say that.

"Wan... Wanqing, Dazhuang is doing a good job here, so let him work in the farm. He can come over if he's busy at home." Gu Xiaogu said embarrassedly.

Li Wanqing smiled but didn't say anything. It was enough for Gu Xiaogu to know that she was not a fool, there was no need to be so serious about it.

When Gu Xiaogu saw that Li Wanqing was silent, she knew that Dazhuang's job was saved, and she also wanted to talk about other things.

"Wanqing, do you know? Did you know that your second brother Gu Bei opened a grocery store?" asked Aunt Gu.

"I don't know? My father-in-law actually came to Gu Yan last time and said that my second brother wanted to open a shop, but he didn't have any money, so he wanted to borrow some from Gu Yan.

At that time, we had just bought the farm and had no money left, so we refused.

I didn't expect that my second brother would gather enough money so quickly?" Li Wanqing said.

"Where? I'm not looking down on Gu Bei, he's just a man with high aspirations but poor skills. He's got high aspirations but a fragile life.

And that Li Yingdi is not a good person either. I heard that since she opened this grocery store, her parents have been going there every few days to get things.

I wonder if the second brother knows this? I think the grocery store will become Li Yingdi's mother's home sooner or later." Gu Xiaogu shook her head and said.
