"Mr. Xu hasn't come for so long, I thought you would wait until autumn to come," Liu Fusheng said jokingly.
That's really what he thought; the food supply was sufficient, and there was nothing wrong with it.
Even if they were to come, they should have waited until autumn to harvest the ginseng. What are they doing here now?
Xu Xiangyang replied, "I've been incredibly busy lately, extremely busy. I just happened to be passing through this time. I really won't be able to come back until autumn."
"When the time comes, Uncle Liu, you can harvest the ginseng and preserve it properly. We don't know when you'll come back next time."
He can't make any guarantees now, after all, the new city is his main battlefield.
He originally intended to earn more money by growing ginseng, but he actually earned even more on the black market.
Now that it's developed so rapidly, it's really hard to stop it.
Liu Fusheng sighed, knowing that someone who could produce so much grain and had such a capable person must be no ordinary person.
How could we possibly be like them, with nothing to do but farm?
He nodded and said, "Okay, you can rest assured about that. But I must remind you that you must come before November, otherwise the ginseng will freeze and might get damaged."
He dared not say that this thing was well preserved, after all, who knows what winter is like?
The two men talked for a long time, and the people outside finished unloading the truck. They saw two large sacks of coarse salt and half a pig.
This made these people extremely happy; how long had it been since they had eaten meat?
It seems that they can only eat pork when Xu Xiangyang comes—big, fat pigs!
Seeing that the unloading was finished outside, Xu Xiangyang stood up and said, "Uncle Liu, now that everything is taken care of, I'll head back first."
He has other things to do; this is just one of them.
Before he could even leave the house, Liu Fusheng immediately stopped him.
Xu Xiangyang looked over in confusion, "Uncle Liu, is there anything else?"
They are indeed facing difficulties, but he won't do business that isn't profitable.
He wouldn't agree if Liu Fusheng's demands were too unreasonable. But if it was a minor matter, he might consider it.
Liu Fusheng scratched his head sheepishly, then gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Xu, I know you are a very powerful person and have been very kind to us. I shouldn't ask you for anything more, but I still want to ask you for a favor."
Xu Xiangyang didn't speak, just stood there watching him until the old man looked very disheveled, before slowly opening his mouth.
"Uncle Liu, what's wrong? I'll help if I can, and please don't be upset if I can't."
He's not a philanthropist; everyone he's helped has to pay an equal price.
It's not that he has money, food, and space, so he doesn't need these things. There are so many people in this world who are struggling; can he help them all?
Seeing that he had agreed, Liu Fusheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Mr. Xu, there's a young man in our clan who's twenty years old this year. I'd like you to take him out with you. He's willing to run errands and do odd jobs for you, even without pay. He has no parents and no ties here."
Hearing this, Xu Xiangyang couldn't help but frown, after all, they didn't know where he was from or what his true identity was.
What if they find out and come after him, threatening him?
Human nature is never trustworthy. He has so much, and he threatens to demand even more, leaving me to become just a wage earner.
He wouldn't let that happen.
“Uncle Liu, I can’t agree to that.” He refused outright, adding, “If you want to buy something, I can help you, but taking people out is out of the question.”
He won't agree; the risk is too great.
Liu Fusheng's face didn't show much disappointment, but rather an expression of "I knew it."
It seems he also felt that this condition was unlikely to be agreed to by anyone, so why did he even mention it?
In Xu Xiangyang's opinion, he might as well say he buys things; he can buy you anything you want to eat or wear.
But this is the one request he will not grant.
"Mr. Xu, it's alright. It was my oversight that caused you trouble." He still sounded a little disappointed, but he didn't blame anyone.
After all, he knew it was impossible; he was just saying it with a sliver of hope.
Xu Xiangyang waved his hand, then climbed onto the truck, started the engine, and drove away.
Given the current situation, he won't bring anyone with him. However, if things were to open up later, it wouldn't be impossible for these people to work for him.
Just assign any worker or laborer; no education is required, as long as they have strength.
Rural people are good at enduring hardship, so these kinds of things aren't a big deal for them.
Unfortunately, times have changed. Letting him lead people out to do things would just be asking for trouble.
Xu Xiangyang didn't trust them, and he didn't trust anyone.
Halfway there, he got out of the car to put it into his storage space, but when he touched the car, he couldn't put it in at all.
What's going on?
Xu Xiangyang was shocked. He got into the car and tried his best to calm himself down.
He closed his eyes and instantly entered the space.
The space is still there?!
He thought the space was gone, it scared him to death!
What's going on? Why can't the car be stored in the storage compartment?
He pressed the steering wheel again, and sure enough, it wouldn't go in at all!
Xu Xiangyang was a little confused. What exactly was going on?
He frowned as he got out of the car, then looked around the vehicle but found nothing wrong.
Suddenly, he remembered something, climbed onto the car, and took a look.
Good heavens!
I'm absolutely blown away!
Inside the truck bed, a young man in his early twenties, with a dark and thin appearance, was looking at him nervously.
Needless to say, this person is the one Liu Fusheng mentioned earlier, right?
No wonder he closed the truck bed; he's really efficient at his job!
He hadn't thought much about it before, after all, this couldn't be forced, and Liu Fusheng wouldn't just shove the person over to him.
I can't believe this person actually did it!
Xu Xiangyang said in an icy tone, "Get down!"
His tone left no room for refusal, and his expression was unpleasant.
The young man on the bus nervously licked his lips and reluctantly climbed off.
Because the car was so tall, it almost fell off.
Xu Xiangyang looked at the man in front of him. He was dark and thin, like a monkey. Most of the young people in Liujia Village looked similar to him.
It's hard to get enough to eat these days; it's a miracle if you don't starve. So malnutrition is very common.
He sighed and said, "Go back. I can't take you with me."
Even if someone cries and begs him, or even clings to his leg and begs, he can still kick them away.
Once he's made a decision, no one can change his mind.
He couldn't, and wouldn't, put himself in danger just to pity a child.
The person opposite opened their mouth, but seeing Xu Xiangyang's firm and cold gaze, they clicked their tongues and said nothing.
He knew that this Mr. Xu was very capable...
