Zhou Cang's face flushed red: "Zhou Fugui, don't talk nonsense, we are just looking for someone to farm the land, there is no such thing as a two-legged sheep."

"Farming? Who are you kidding?" Zhou Fugui looked at him like a fool: "What do you need to farm? Rainwater!"

"But look at the fields, they are so dry that they are almost bulging. How can you plant crops? Uncles and aunts, you have been planting crops for your whole lives. Can you still plant crops in this situation?"

Everyone present was an expert at farming, and their expressions changed instantly.

"Yes, it's because it hasn't rained and we can't plant crops. That's why we have no choice. If we could plant crops, I would plant my own crops."

"Who said it wasn't? I'm not a tenant farmer. I have my own fields. I'm just afraid that planting crops would be a waste of seeds, so I'm thinking of finding other ways out."

"We have been farming for our whole lives, but now we don't even dare to do it. Can this boss do it?"

This Zhou Cang, doesn't really want to trick them into becoming two-legged sheep, right?

"Second son of the Zhou family, you really wouldn't do such an immoral thing, would you?" A white-haired old man looked at Zhou Cang with heartache.

"Uncle, how could that be? You watched me grow up, and I am not that kind of person." Zhou Cang tried his best to defend himself.

"Then tell me, how do you farm this land?"

"..." Zhou Cang was suddenly speechless.

To be honest, he himself had no confidence in farming in this kind of weather.

Seeing that he couldn't answer, the people immediately went into an uproar, pointing at him and cursing. If they hadn't been afraid of the men in black behind him, they would have rushed over to beat him up.

After a while, there were only about forty people left in the crowded entrance.

Zhou Fugui smiled proudly: "Brother, you should be honest and don't take the crooked path every day."

"In the past, you were willing to be a lowly person and sold yourself to the Zhao family as a slave, but now you are colluding with bandits to do such a wicked thing. Are you worthy of our Zhou family's ancestors?"

"From now on, don't say you are my brother. My Zhou family can't afford to lose that person."

After he said that, he walked away with his head held high, like a hen that had won a fight.

Zhou Cang's face turned blue and veins bulged on his forehead, but he could only clench his fists and suppress it desperately.

"Uncle, are you okay?" Gu Heizi asked worriedly.

Zhou Cang took a deep breath and managed an ugly smile after a while: "You...are still here?"

"Of course!" Gu Heizi laughed, "I'm still waiting for your fingerprints."

"Yes, Manager Zhou." The people who stayed behind smiled and said, "We have known you for a long time. We know what kind of person you are. We believe that you are definitely not that kind of person."

"That's right, but I don't know if you think highly of us. Do you want us to stay and work for you? Hehe~"

Zhou Cang's cold heart warmed up little by little.

After a quick glance, he found that the people who stayed behind were all those who had worked for him before. He never expected that in the end, it would be them and not the so-called...relatives who believed in him.

"Thank you." He bowed to the crowd and said, "I haven't thanked you all for your trust yet."

The villagers hurriedly returned the greeting.

"Uncle, we are all so familiar with each other, could you please not be so polite?" Gu Heizi grinned and shook off the goose bumps on his body.

"You'd better take us to see the boss and put our fingerprints there." His eyes were full of anticipation.

The woman is the boss!

Will it look like a black bear in the mountains?

"What are you thinking about, kid?" Zhou Cang felt much better after being interrupted by him. He raised his hand and gave him a slap on the head: "You can see the boss whenever you want."

"Zhou Yan, take the villagers to the hall and wait. I will go and ask the boss for instructions first."

"Okay, Uncle Zhou." Zhou Yan took the lead and walked forward: "Everyone follow me."

Gu Heizi's face fell, but after a while, he jumped over and hugged Zhou Yan's shoulders, saying affectionately: "Brother Zhou Yan, have you met the boss? Tell us what she looks like and whether she is easy to get along with..."

The others also turned their heads to look over, looking very worried.

Will the boss be super fierce?

I heard that those who can become bandit leaders are all strong and muscular, with faces full of flesh and eyes more ferocious than wolves...

A little scared...

"Uh~" Zhou Yan was speechless for a moment when he thought of the boss who was super handsome but deliberately threw feces all over him, but also sent them food and helped them get revenge.

"You'll know when you meet her!" he said in a daze.

Gu Heizi's face completely fell, but the villagers became even more scared. They wondered if the boss was not a good person, so he didn't say it clearly.

Zhou Cang looked at the backs of the others as they walked away, the smile on his face disappeared, and a deep sense of self-blame surged in his heart.

The boss gave him such an important task, but he messed it up because of his past grudges.

He is so useless!

But after Luo Xi heard Zhou Cang's description, he didn't take it seriously at all. Instead, he asked: "Do you want me to help you deal with him?"

Are the people under your command so easy to bully?

"..." Zhou Cang looked up in surprise, thinking he had heard it wrong.

"Boss, you...don't blame me?" he asked stupidly.

Blame him? This question made Luo Xi stunned, but he reacted after a while and laughed: "What's wrong with that?"

"We are bandits, so it's normal for them to have concerns."

If everyone rushed into the villa without any doubt, Luo Xi should be worried.

"But that Zhou Fugui sounds like he has bad intentions. Don't you really want me to deal with him?"

Speaking of this man, Zhou Cang had a complicated expression, but he finally said: "Thank you very much, Boss. I still can't come for now. After all, he is my half brother."

Luo Xi looked at him for a while, then nodded in understanding: "Okay, whatever you want."

We still have to give Zhou Cang face.

"However, if he dares to do something that harms the villa, I cannot guarantee that he will remain safe."

Zhou Cang's face turned pale. "Don't worry, Boss. If he really dares to do this, I will handle it even if you don't take action."

Luo Xi saw the determination in his eyes and knew that this man was indeed useful.

"It's up to you," she said.

Seeing that Luo Xi was not angry, Zhou Cang felt relieved.

"Boss, because of this incident, there are not enough people coming to work. What should we do?" he asked again.

"We'll take as many as you want. That's just perfect. Those who dare to come are risk-takers." Luo Xi picked up the pastry that Liu Xiaoyu brought over and took a bite.

"Having said that, but... we don't have enough manpower. It's already a bit late for spring ploughing, and if we wait a few more days, I'm afraid..." Zhou Cang was a little worried.

The most important thing about spring plowing is the timing. If it is too late, the crops will not grow well.

"That's easy." Luo Xi was rich and generous, and threw out two thousand taels of silver: "Use all of them to buy cows. It would be best if each person had one when working, and they could take turns to use them. Is that enough manpower?"

There is nothing that money can't solve, and it just so happens that this is what she has the most right now.

Zhou Cang: "!!!"

After a long while, he closed his mouth and said, "No need to give me any money, no need to give me any money. I haven't used the money you gave me last time."
