"Shuyun, you're here. What's up?"

Uncle Jiang was a little confused; there was still more than a month before the wheat harvest.

"Third Uncle, I've come here today to talk to you about something. After we split up the family property, we don't plan to grow grain on the dry land anymore. We'd like to grow some other crops. But we don't have any experience with it, and we don't know if we'll be able to succeed."

We know you rely on farming to make a living, so we were thinking of not renting you the dry land anymore, so that if the farming fails, you won't have to bear the risk. However, we need a long-term laborer. Do you have anyone suitable in your family?

Jiang Shuyun explained things clearly to avoid misunderstandings, since they were all relatives and it wouldn't have a good impact.

"If you're not growing grains anymore, what do you plan to grow?"

Aunt Jiang asked curiously, not understanding what else could be grown on the land if not grains.

"Third Aunt, we haven't decided yet. My eldest brother from my mother's side said he wants to try a new species, but he hasn't decided what to plant specifically."

Mu Yi'an took over the conversation; she didn't want to have her watermelons planted before everyone knew about it.

"Okay, we understand. Thank you for considering all this for us. What are your requirements for the long-term workers you need?"

"Be able to drive a cart, plow the fields, work quickly, and most importantly, follow orders and keep your mouth shut."

Mu Yi'an stated her requirements. Growing watermelons requires technical skill, and she didn't want her expertise to be revealed before anything was even started. She wanted to earn her first pot of gold through watermelons.

"Shuyun's wife, let us discuss this and we'll give you an answer tomorrow."

Uncle Jiang also realized that Shuyun's wife was in charge of the farming.

"Okay, Third Uncle, tell me the answer tomorrow. Let's see if it's okay, and if it is, we can sign a document."

Mu Yi'an trusts written agreements more than verbal ones.

After saying what they needed to say, Jiang Shuyun and the others left. As for who Uncle Jiang would choose, they would find out tomorrow.
