The guests at home all left, and Yang Guang’s life returned to normal.

The vegetables in his greenhouse were growing very well as he watered them every day.

However, Yang Guang was a little dissatisfied. He felt that the speed of the vegetables’ growth was still too slow.

Because Yang Guang knew that he would have a chance to meet Mu Xiaowan and Qi Yingxue when the vegetables were ready for sale.

As the vegetables grew, there was more work to do in the greenhouse. Yang Guang could not cope with it, so he prepared to hire workers.

The news about Yang Guang hiring workers quickly spread. More than 10 women in the village came to him.

It was the off-season from farming. The women stayed at home all day and earned nothing. Therefore, they thought it was good to come here to make some money.

The women walked to the greenhouse as they chattered. Yang Guang was stunned when he saw them.

He only wanted to hire four people. Hence, seeing that so many people came, Yang Guang did not know what to do.

The women were all his neighbors. It was hard for him to decide who he should hire.

“Yang Guang, you are pretty successful now. You even start to hire workers.” Mrs. Niu said with a smile.

Yang Guang scratched his head. “I wouldn’t say I am already successful. It’s just that I can’t do all the work by myself.”

“It’s okay. We are here to help you. Don’t worry about that,” Mrs. Niu said.

“Well, it’s good that you guys come to help me. But I don’t need this many people,” Yang Guang replied.

He thought for a moment and had an idea. “How about this? I will prepare some sticks and then you guys can draw lots to decide who should stay. And don’t worry if you cannot stay this time. I will definitely hire you next time I have more work for you to do.”

The women looked at each other. They didn’t know what to say, so they just nodded.

Soon, Yang Guang found more than 10 wooden sticks. Some were long and some were short. Yang Guang held the sticks in his hand and everybody started to draw lots.

In the end, Mrs. Niu and the other three women got to stay.

Seeing that the others looked disappointed, Yang Guang quickly said, “Don’t worry. There is going to be a road project here. When the time comes, the project will need workers. You shall all have work to do then.”

Hearing this, the other women were happy and turned around to go home.

Yang Guang turned back to look at Mrs. Niu and said to her, “Mrs. Niu, the work in the greenhouse is quite similar to the work in your vegetable garden. Therefore, I don’t need to tell you what to do. You can just do as you see fit.”

“Sure. However, Yang Guang, we need to make a deal. Since you hired us to work here, it has to be a long-term thing. As long as your greenhouse exists, you need to let us work here,” Mrs. Niu said.

“That’s not a problem. As long as you don’t skive, I will let you work here.” Yang Guang nodded happily.

“I knew that you were a kind person. You will have a bright future for sure!”

Mrs. Niu was satisfied and said cheerfully.

After allocating work to Mrs. Niu and the others, Yang Guang was free.

He did not stay and watch Mrs. Niu and the others do their job because he trusted them. Instead, Yang Guang said a few words and went home.

He intended to go to the back of the mountain to see if Tianma was growing well. However, Yang Guang saw a car drive into the village headquarters from afar.

Yang Guang was stunned for a moment. He wondered if it was someone from the city coming to look for Sister Ling.

Who could it be?

After some thinking, Yang Guang turned around and walked towards the village headquarters.

When Yang Guang reached the courtyard, the person in the car already entered the village headquarters. He could hear two voices arguing, coming from inside. It was Xu Ling and a man who were fighting.

As Yang Guang heard it, he pushed the door open without hesitation. “Sister Ling, what’s wrong?”

Xu Ling and the man in the room were shocked. Then, the man looked Yang Guang up and down and asked, “Who are you?”

“I’m a doctor in the village, Yang Guang. Who are you?” Yang Guang inquired.

“Doctor?”

The man sneered and shot Yang Guang a disgusted look. “You’re still wet behind the ears. How dare you say that you are a doctor?”

“Uncle, Yang Guang is my friend. Please don’t say that,” Xu Ling said angrily.

Xu Guangcai looked at Xu Ling. “Lingling, you are not bewitched by this brat, are you? Is it because of him that you insist on staying in such a poor and run-down village?”

“Of course not!”

Being asked a question like this, Xu Ling blushed and hurriedly shook her head.

Xu Guangcai looked at Xu Ling seriously and said. “Lingling, you’re still too young. I’ve seen much of the world in the past 40 years. I can tell from your expression that there’s something going on between you and him.”

After saying that, Xu Guangcai turned to look at Yang Guang, “Do you like Lingling? Young man, give it up. Lingling will not stay in this shabby village.”

“Uncle, stop it. This has nothing to do with Yang Guang!”

Xu Ling was a little anxious and said.

Yang Guang was curious. He ignored Xu Guangcai and turned to look at Xu Ling, “Sister Ling, what’s going on?”

“I’m here to take Lingling away. She doesn’t have to do the thankless task of the village secretary anymore because I found her a better job,” Xu Guangcai said.

Yang Guang was trying to hold back his anger. Nevertheless, when he heard Xu Guangcai’s words, his face turned cold. “Watch what you say. Being the village secretary is not a thankless task. Sister Ling is very respected here.”

“So What?” Xu Guangcai demanded.

He rolled his eyes. “The village is so small. Even if Lingling works here for her whole life, she would not be any good. My daughter can make more money than Lingling’s annual salary in one day.”

Yang Guang was amazed and asked in surprise, “What does your daughter do?”

“She’s a big star,” Xu Guangcai responded.

He had a smug look on his face. “My daughter can earn over 20,000 dollars a day.”

“Really?” Yang Guang demanded.

He was very shocked when he heard that. After a while, he smiled. “No wonder you’re so arrogant, but Sister Ling isn’t your daughter. I don’t think you have the right to tell her what to do, right?”

“She’s my niece,” Xu Guangcai said loudly.

“Even if she’s your daughter, you can’t do that to her!”

Yang Guang clenched his fists and shouted without backing down.

Seeing that Yang Guang and Xu Guangcai began to argue, Xu Ling hurriedly said, “Stop it.”

“Shh! I don’t care who he is. You have to go with me,” Xu Guangcai said to Xu Ling.

Yang Guang jeered, “Is that so? Are you going to tie her up if Sister Ling doesn’t go with you?”

“I’ll call my brother and sister-in-law and ask them to talk to Lingling personally if I have to,” Xu Guangcai said.

Yang Guang was puzzled when he heard this. Then, he turned to look at Xu Ling. “Sister Ling, is the guy really doing this for your own good or is he up to something else? It seems to me that his intentions are not as good as he says.”

“Well…”

Xu Ling looked a little awkward and pulled Xu Guangcai, who was angry from being scolded and was about to punch Yang Guang. After that, she said, “My uncle found me a job in the county town. It is a little better than being the village secretary.”

“Is that it?”

Yang Guang turned to look at Xu Guangcai. “Your daughter is a big star, but you only found your niece a job in the county town.. Are you so proud of that?”
