The Lovely Heiress Is Actually A God Beast

Chapter 467: Chapter 467: Earned Through Labor Chapter 467: Chapter 467: Earned Through Labor Gu Yixing and King of Film Xu returned empty-handed.

Gu Yixing sighed, “No wonder the contractors all ran away, there’s nothing in the mountains.”

King of Film Xu took a sip of water and shook his head, “I don’t even know what to do next.”

Cheng Lu covered her mouth and started to laugh.

“What’s so funny?” King of Film Xu was puzzled.

Cheng Lu pointed towards the lush greenery, “Look.”

Gu Yixing and King of Film Xu looked on to a sea of green where two little figures stood out awkwardly.

“What’s this?” King of Film Xu was surprised.

Cheng Lu smiled, “Little Taotie and Xiao Lingzhi have more abilities than you do.”

She pointed to the side, a basket full of vegetables, “This is what they got in exchange for their labor!”

“So capable? Why didn’t I think of that, to exchange labor for food!” King of Film Xu was extremely annoyed.

Cheng Lu gave him a sideways glance, “Do you think you can compare to Little Taotie? Can you tell apart which in the field are seedlings and which are weeds? Or, can you effortlessly carry a large basket full of vegetables back and forth?”

King of Film Xu: “…No.”

Cheng Lu spread her hands, “Men, utterly useless.”

King of Film Xu was speechless, touching his nose.

Gu Yixing rolled up his sleeves, ready to go into the field to help, but the old farmer chuckled, “No need to busy yourself, let the kids play, I just arranged something casual.”

The old farmer shouted toward the field, “Little ones, come back, that’s enough, stop working!”

Xiao Lingzhi and Little Taotie ran out of the field, chasing each other, and came to the old farmer’s side.

Xiao Lingzhi’s eyes shone brightly, “Did I do good work?”

The old farmer generously praised, “Good! You’re very diligent!”

Little Taotie, with a flushed face, asked, “What about me?”

The old farmer raised his thumb, “You’re the best!”

Xiao Lingzhi really admired Little Taotie and didn’t feel slighted, nodding along, “Little Taotie is the best!”

Little Taotie bashfully hung her head, giggling.

The old farmer divided two handfuls of sweets from his pocket between the two kids, somewhat awkwardly, “This is corn candy, not sure if you’ll like it, maybe city kids don’t like our country candy…”

“I like it!” Little Taotie tore one open and popped it into her mouth straight away, “So fragrant! Yummy~”

Xiao Lingzhi also unwrapped one and put it in her mouth, a bit unaccustomed to the strong flavor of essence, but she laughed heartily, “It’s delicious! We’re not picky kids!”

The old farmer breathed a sigh of relief, his face breaking into a wide grin, “As long as you like it. It’s getting late; I should be going back.”

“Goodbye, Grandpa!” Little Taotie waved her little hand.

Xiao Lingzhi followed suit, waving her hand too.

Xiao Lingzhi and Little Taotie gathered around the big bamboo basket, Xiao Lingzhi boasting to Gu Yixing and King of Film Xu, “This is what we got for our labor! Hehe! Aren’t we impressive?”

King of Film Xu nodded with a smile, “Impressive!”

Gu Yixing patted Little Taotie on the head, “Little Taotie put in a lot of effort, you’re just basking in her glory.”

Xiao Lingzhi snorted, “You guys are the ones basking in glory, basking in mine at that!”

King of Film Xu soothed her by patting her head, “Yes, thanks to you two, we won’t go hungry!”

“These aren’t for you to eat!” Xiao Lingzhi hugged the basket, “We’re going to sell these in town! We already asked the old man, every Tuesday, the village has a market day, it’s when everyone brings their own things to exchange for what they need, or for money.”

“Isn’t today Tuesday?” King of Film Xu frowned.

Xiao Lingzhi nodded, “So we need to set up a stall to sell things, it has to be today, miss today and there won’t be any customers!”

“Then what are we waiting for, let’s go now!” Gu Yixing picked up the big bamboo basket and led the way forward, with the rest following behind him.
