Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 580 - 579: Hopefully Nothing Will Go Wrong

The next morning.

Shen Qinglan had Shen Qingning spread word in the village and even in the neighboring village that the Shen Family was hiring people to help clear the land, offering a daily wage of two hundred wen, including breakfast and lunch. Only hardworking individuals were wanted, and those who shirked their duties were not.

Not long after the announcement was made, people started arriving one after another, not only from their village but quite a few from outside as well.

A daily wage of two hundred wen was hard to come by even in the town, so Shen Qinglan wasn’t surprised by the turnout.

She and Shen Qingning quickly counted, estimating about a hundred people, mostly middle-aged, though there were quite a few young people too, even Zhong Dabao was there. Shen Qinglan raised an eyebrow but didn’t say anything.

After all, her dislike was toward Xiao Hong Shi, not Zhong Dabao.

"I believe everyone has heard the requirements," Shen Qingning said, "We only want the industrious and capable. Those who are lazy will be dismissed. If anyone is found out later, they will also be asked to leave."

"Rest assured, Shen sir!" someone said, "We will work seriously and won’t slack off."

Everyone chimed in, "Yes, we will work diligently!"

"I hope you can keep your word!" Shen Qingning pointed to Shen Qingfeng, "Please register over there."

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly lined up to report their names to Shen Qingfeng.

Since something had been planted there long ago, there weren’t any big trees, just some small trees and bushes. If everyone worked seriously, over a hundred people should be able to get it done fairly quickly.

After handing the clearing task over to Shen Qingning, Shen Qinglan returned to town with Shen He and Dong Yao.

When Shen Qingping and Shen Qing’an saw them return, they were overjoyed, pulling Dong Yao and Shen Qinglan aside to tell them about amusing incidents at the academy.

Things like who fell asleep in class and was awakened by the teacher, or who passed gas in the classroom, made Shen Qinglan listen with a face full of black lines.

At night, Duan Yunfei personally came over to invite a group of people over.

After Shen Shan and Dong Yao entered the Duan Mansion, they were taken to Duan Nian and Luo Jing, while Shen Qinglan and Duan Yunfei remained leisurely walking in the courtyard.

"Why do you keep looking at me like that?"

Noticing Duan Yunfei had been staring at her since entering, Shen Qinglan couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.

Duan Yunfei chuckled, "Because you’re beautiful!"

Shen Qinglan snorted, "Smooth talker."

Duan Yunfei sighed softly, "Even though we just met yesterday, why does it feel like we haven’t seen each other in a long time?"

Since returning from Nanfeng Country last time, they had mostly been apart.

He had to make preparations for returning to Yongning Manor, so he couldn’t come to the village to find her.

"Will Elder Chu be joining us this time?" Shen Qinglan asked.

"He will," Duan Yunfei replied, "However, for safety’s sake, he’ll follow us covertly."

Shen Qinglan nodded slightly, "Is Master Feng all prepared over there?"

Duan Yunfei nodded, "Brother-in-law said everything is ready. Chen Qi and his men planned to act in seven days, which means the day after we return to Yongning Manor."

Shen Qinglan said in a low voice, "I hope there won’t be any mishaps."

"Judging by the current situation, Chen Qi seems to still trust Brother-in-law," Duan Yunfei smiled, "I really look forward to Chen Qi’s expression at that time."

Ever since Duan Nian suffered serious injuries, he had wanted to exact revenge on Chen Qi, but unfortunately, the old man was very cautious and rarely went out. Naturally, even when he did, he was always accompanied by a large entourage.
