When the Time Comes, How About Being My Manager?

The Yun Duo cried out loudly:

"It's impossible, Yun Tianlong. I don't believe a single word you said."

You promised your mother that countless times, you even cut off one of your own fingers.

But is it useful? It's completely useless; you'll never change.

My mother was pregnant three times, but she miscarried all three.

It's because you brought your brothers back, you beasts, die!

Yun Duo picked up the stick next to her and started hitting him on the head repeatedly.

She pounded on the door while crying, and only after Yun Tianlong breathed his last did she burst into tears. "Waaah, why did I have such a father? Why?"

Zhou Wanwan sighed, and then heard coughing coming from inside the shed.

Yun Duo quickly wiped away her tears and asked, "Mother, are you awake?"

The woman opened her eyes, looked at Yun Duo, and said, "Duoduo, have you been crying? Are you hungry? Mother will go make you some food."

Yun Duo looked at her and said, "Mother, I'm not hungry. You rest well. I will definitely save you."

The woman chuckled softly and said, "Silly child, your mother won't live much longer. That's all there is to my life. And what about your father?"

Yun Duo looked at her and said, "He's dead. I knocked him to death."

The woman cried out in a panic, "Dead? Did anyone see it? You'd better run, or I'll say I killed him."

Yun Duo looked at her mother and said, "No one saw anything, don't worry! I will definitely cure your illness."

"I know my own body best, Yun Duo. You need to take good care of yourself, and also, don't easily trust men."

I used to be a rich girl, but I ended up like this. I guess it's karma for trusting men too easily!

Zhou Wanwan looked at her and said, "That's true. Don't easily believe what men say. Let me treat you first! Yun Duo, you can go out now."

After Yun Duo left, Zhou Wanwan began to take out the necessary medicinal herbs. Lingbao, watching from the side, exclaimed in astonishment, "Wanwan, have you emptied your coffers? These are all things I like, and you've used them all on her."

Zhou Wanwan patted Lingbao's head and said, "Don't worry! I left you plenty! If I didn't help her, she wouldn't live much longer."

Lingbao sighed and said:

"Alright then! Tell me, why are women in this world so pitiful?"

I saw so many pitiful women!

Zhou Wanwan sighed and said:

"Because women are more emotional than men, and are also more likely to depend on men."

A woman who is completely dependent on a man is prone to tragedy.

Lingbao sighed and said in a mature and worldly tone:

"It's really too hard to be a woman. It's much better to be like us, carefree and unrestrained!

Why must women be treated like slaves by men? And why must they bear children?

Then he trapped himself in a cage, which I've never really understood.

Looking at it like that, Zhou Wanwan was both amused and annoyed, saying, "This is a process every woman has to go through."

Lingbao looked at Zhou Wanwan and asked, "Wanwan, will you get married someday too?"

Zhou Wanwan thought for a moment and said:

I don't know, maybe!

If I find a suitable partner, I'll marry him; if not, I'll live a free and easy life!

Lingbao nodded seriously and said:

What's wrong with living a free and unrestrained life?

We can travel everywhere. We can go to the Northern Desert to see the sand dunes, to the Southern Frontier to see the rainforest, to the Eastern Sea to watch the sunrise, and to the Western Regions to watch the sunset...

Zhou Wanwan coughed and said:

"Stop, stop! You've arranged everything for my retirement, isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

I'm currently focused on building my career; how could I possibly have time to go out and have fun?

I need to get her treated.

Zhou Wanwan took out the medicinal herbs and then slowly channeled energy into them.

The essence of the medicinal herbs quickly flowed into the woman's body. A full hour later, the woman woke up and said, "I... I feel like I'm cured!"

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said:

"You're almost better, but you still need to rest properly."

The environment here isn't very good; why don't you find another place?

Yun Duo shook her head and said:

"You don't know, the inns here are extremely expensive, only this shack is relatively cheap."

But it still costs several hundred coins a month.

Zhou Wanwan looked at the Yun Duo and said:

"I'll be opening lots and lots of shops here in the future, and you'll be my manager then! Two taels of silver a month."

Oh! By the way, this is Yun Tianlong's bag; it contains several hundred taels of silver. Take it; consider it compensation from him.

Yun Duo nodded, and Zhou Wanwan waved and said, "We'll be going now, we'll contact you in a few days."

They turned around, Old Scholar Tree looked at the drowsy girl in the treehouse and said, "Wanwan, what are we doing now?"

Zhou Wanwan snorted and said, "Of course we're going to cause trouble for Zhao Lili. We wonder who this Zhao Lili is; let's go find out!"

They quickly slipped into the Earth Ranking Courtyard. Zhou Wanwan snorted and said, "I was planning to come in openly, but Zhao Lili insisted on treating me this way, so I won't be polite either."

Looking at the exotic plants in the yard, Zhou Wanwan asked, "Hello! Can you tell me who this Zhao Lili is? Where does she live?"

The plants looked at each other in bewilderment, and then the twining golden lotus spoke up, "Little sister, are you talking to us?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at them and said, "That's right! If you tell me, I'll give you energy."

Green Plum Blossom sneered:

"Trying to fool us? No way! We're not telling you what's going on here, so get out of here!"

Is this a place for someone like you? This is the Earth Ranking Courtyard!

Ice Soul Snow Orchid also scoffed lightly:

"Where did this country bumpkin come from?"

They actually tried to extract information from us. Do you know how much money the Earth Ranking Courtyard spends on us every year?

"Just for me, the Earth Ranking Courtyard costs over a hundred taels of silver every year! Why should we sell the Earth Ranking Courtyard?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at it and said:

"Really? So, who Earth Ranking Courtyard you, Dibangyuan or Zhao Lili?"

I wasn't asking about the situation at Earth Ranking Courtyard; I was asking about Zhao Lili's situation.

As soon as Zhou Wanwan finished speaking, Lingbao plucked the two plants and said, "These plants are pretty good too. I'll use them for bathing later."

Zhou Wanwan looked at Lingbao and asked, "Are these plants also good for you?"

Lingbao quickly nodded and said:

"Any plant is good for me, but I don't know what those Earth Ranking experts would do if they fed plants."

"Then if I absorb these plants, will I also benefit from them?"

Zhou Wanwan squinted and said, "That's a good idea. Let's try it next time. The Scholar Tree and the others can evolve, maybe you can too!"
