Chapter 508: First time going out
Owen hesitated for a moment, then subconsciously looked at Li Yaofeng. Seeing that the young master had no objection, he nodded and whispered to her, "Okay, Miss Nie, please follow me!"
Owen took the flashlight and drove a car from the manor himself, taking Nie Yao with him and leaving Li Garden, heading towards the nearby farm.
The sky was getting darker and darker, and there were few people on the road, and even a few vehicles.
This was also the first time that Nie Yao left Li Garden and came outside. She couldn't help but look at the scenery and terrain outside through the car window.
As the butler Owen drove, he whispered to Nie Yao, "This vast expanse of land originally belonged to the Li family. Later, they implemented a land contracting system, investing money in all the nearby farmers. They helped them build farms and orchards, and then let them sell their own produce. They only had to pay the Li family rent and a share of the profits every year..."
"So that's how it is!" Nie Yao nodded in sudden realization. She tilted her head and looked through the glass window at the fields outside. She chuckled softly and said, "It looks like a very prosperous place!"
"Yes, almost every farmer around here has become rich, and none of them is not grateful to the Li family..." Butler Owen nodded, and spoke of this with pride.
"It's a pity that the young master doesn't like to go out and doesn't interact much with these farmers, but he has always cared about them. Sometimes he would send me to check on them and ask if they need any help!"
Owen paused here, then smiled and said, "Look, the second young master is back, and the farmers are having problems, so the eldest young master asked the second young master to help solve them. Speaking of which, the second young master has a closer relationship with them!"
"Really?" Nie Yao raised her eyebrows in surprise. She only thought that Li Jinxing was an arrogant investment tycoon. In those public banquets, no matter how many people called him Master Li Jiu, they might not get his attention.
But she never expected that he was actually so down-to-earth in private and had a good relationship with the farmers...
"That's right. I still remember when we were little, the second young master loved to go to those farms. He would often play with his friends there and come back with his hands and body covered in mud, dirty!"
Butler Owen nodded happily, and when he talked about his childhood, the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise slightly, as if he had returned to those carefree days in the past.
When the car stopped at the gate of a clean and tidy farmyard, Nie Yao withdrew her attention and looked out the window: "Is this... a farm stay?"
"Yes, every farmer has his or her own business model. Some sell fruits and vegetables directly, while others simply start a farm stay!"
Butler Owen got out of the car and was about to open the door for Nie Yao when Nie Yao opened the door herself and they got out together. Standing at the entrance to the farmhouse, looking at the distinctive gate, she smiled and praised, "This farmhouse looks quite unique!"
"Yes, this farm stay does great business during the peak tourist season!"
Butler Owen smiled and nodded, then took Nie Yao directly to the gate. Just as he was about to shout something, a middle-aged man who was cleaning with a broom saw the familiar face of Butler Owen and immediately smiled.
"Mr. Owen, what brings you here?"
As he was about to welcome the butler Owen in, he said warmly, "Have you eaten? If not, come and have a simple meal with us..."
