304 We Can Plant Them Tomorrow
Ah Ping’s cautious attitude pleased the man with an ugly expression. “Since Ah Ping interceded for you, I’ll give her face. However, I still have to remind you that with your stubborn personality, you’ll suffer a big loss sooner or later. In this world, if you want to live a good life, you have to learn from Ah Ping. The more friends you have, the more paths you can take, do you understand?”
Du Yue’s face was still cold and indifferent. She was even standing there without a word after he was done speaking. The man sneered and was about to leave, but Ah Ping did not leave with him. “Brother Lin, you should go first. I’ll stay and talk to her. It’s also a good chance to talk to her.”
The man looked at Du Yue thoughtfully and chuckled. “Alright, then you can reminisce about the old days with her!”
Ah Ping only looked at Du Yue after the man’s figure disappeared into the thick fog. “Where do you live now? Are you squeezing in that courtyard with those people? There are so many people there. Why do you have to live there? Seeing that you’ve helped me before, as long as you’re willing, I can introduce you to a few rich and powerful men. I guarantee that you’ll be able to live a good life in the future, and you won’t have to worry about your livelihood.”
Before Du Yue answered, He Xing was already upset and said, “Hey, I’m still here.”
One after another, these people dared to say such things to Du Yue in front of him. They did not treat him as a human being at all.
Ah Ping heard this and looked at He Xing. “I know you’re still here. If you want, I can introduce you to a few people. Do you have any requirements in terms of gender? Anyway, men will be more generous in giving money… And with your looks, both men and women will like you.”
He Xing was speechless.
Hearing Ah ping’s words, Du Yue, who had been expressionless all this while, suddenly laughed. “So, your current job is a pimp?”
Ah Ping’s expression froze when she heard this. “Even if you don’t want to live a good life, you don’t have to belittle me like this, right? I’m just giving you a kind reminder. Your words are really too unpleasant to hear.”
Du Yue nodded. “If that’s what you think, then I have nothing to say. We have different views, so if we meet again in the future, please pretend that we don’t know each other. There’s no need to say hello.”
Ah Ping’s expression turned uglier. “Why can’t you show me any face?”
“Face?” Du Yue shook her head and explained seriously, “I don’t think there’s anything to be said between us. In fact, we’re just strangers who have met a few times.”
Hearing this, Ah Ping’s face completely darkened. After a long while, she gritted her teeth and said, “Fine. Continue with your fake noble and virtuous life. I’d like to see what kind of life you can live in the future. I’ll wait for the day you regret it!”
After saying that, Ah Ping left angrily. Compared to Ah Ping’s anger, Du Yue and He Xing were much calmer. They had never been on the same path as Ah Ping, so naturally, there was no need to waste time talking to her in the future. Although meeting Ah Ping was unexpected, Du Yue’s mood was not disturbed. She continued to bring He Xing around for a leisurely stroll.
The two of them wandered aimlessly for nearly two hours before returning to the small courtyard where they lived. Standing at the door, they knocked on the iron door loudly. After a while, hurried footsteps sounded in the yard, and Wan Dapeng’s voice sounded, “Brother, Sister, are you guys back?”
He Xing replied loudly, “Brother Wan, it’s us!”
Wan Dapeng opened the door from the inside as soon as He Xing finished. He looked at the two people in front of him and said with a smile, “You’re finally back. If you hadn’t come back, I would have gone out to look for you.”
“Why would you come looking for us? We’re not kids anymore. How could we get lost?” He Xing said as he walked toward the courtyard. “Brother Wan, when do you plan to start farming?”
“We’ve already studied the planting manual, and there are people currently plowing the land! We don’t have many other things, but we have many people! If all the men and women work together, the seeds will probably be planted tomorrow!”
That was really fast! After chatting with Wan Dapeng for a while, Du Yue and He Xing returned to their mobile house.
They had already made an agreement with Wan Dapeng and Yu Xinya that they would provide the seeds but not the labor. When Du Yue had nothing to do, she was willing to plant some vegetables in her room. However, she was not willing to go to the fields to do farm work every day.
