I'm a Druid at a farmhouse.

Chapter 30 We All Have a Bright Future

Tian Wenwu's mouth gaped open like an egg, and he couldn't close it for a long time. He even forgot to put his takeout jacket back on.

"Three...three million?" he stammered, repeating it, his voice trembling. "More than thirty thousand in interest alone each month?"

This number was simply astronomical to him.

He worked hard delivering food for a month, braving wind and rain, and at his best, he only earned about ten thousand yuan. Song You's monthly debt repayment was equivalent to three months of his crazy work.

"Otherwise what?" Song You gently put the newly acquired kitchen knife into the snakeskin bag. "Why would I work so hard?"

Looking at Song You's calm face, Tian Wenwu felt a mix of emotions.

He used to think that Song You's return to the countryside to open a farmhouse was like the idyllic rural life depicted online, but now he realizes that this guy is living with a mountain on his back.

He suddenly realized that the fact that he had accidentally crashed the rented Mercedes was nothing compared to the pressure Song You was under.

"Brother You, I..." He wanted to say something comforting, but found his vocabulary was really limited. "We all have a bright future."

Song You, however, saw through his thoughts, patted him on the shoulder, and smiled again: "Alright, don't look like the sky is falling. I'm still alive and well."

He changed the subject, looked Tian Wenwu up and down, and said seriously, "To be honest, my agritainment business is doing a bit better right now, and I'm short of a security guard. Room and board included, three thousand a month, interested?"

Tian Wenwu was stunned.

Go work as a security guard?

The image of himself in a security guard uniform, standing guard at the entrance of a farmhouse restaurant, flashed through his mind. If the villagers saw him like that, they'd laugh at him to death.

No, absolutely not.

He would rather wear this yellow battle robe and speed freely through the city than do that.

Delivering food is at least a way to earn a living as a freelancer, which sounds much more respectable than being a security guard.

"Ahem, well, Brother You." Tian Wenwu coughed twice, stiffening his neck as he tried to save face, "My career is just starting out, and I have several big projects waiting for me every day. I really can't spare the time. Your little temple can't accommodate a Buddha like me."

Seeing his pretentious act, Song You didn't call him out.

"Alright, Mr. Tian, ​​then I won't keep you from your busy schedule."

"Sure thing, sure thing." Tian Wenwu straightened up instantly upon hearing this. "Come on, since you're my brother, I'll personally accompany you shopping today. I know exactly what you want to buy."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Tian."

The two of them went into a nearby agricultural supplies market, one after the other.

Following the list he had prepared long ago, Song You headed straight for his destination.

Lime sulfur, a special treatment for leaf spot disease. Abamectin, a powerful insecticide for aphids. He also bought a few bags of high-efficiency organic compound fertilizer.

Tian Wenwu followed behind him, looking at the bottles and jars, and asked curiously, "Why are you buying all this pesticide? Your vegetables are growing quite well, aren't they?"

"Some trees in the orchard behind the mountain are sick and need treatment," Song You explained.

After leaving the agricultural supplies market, Song You took him to a large supermarket and bought a bunch of seasonings and daily necessities that were not available in the village store.

The two snakeskin bags were quickly filled to the brim.

......

Meanwhile, at Central South University, in the girls' dormitory.

As soon as Su Yunxi pushed open the door, a gasp of surprise erupted in the dormitory.

"Wow, Xixi, your hair looks amazing!"

Chen Jiajia was the first to rush over, circling Su Yunxi twice, her eyes sparkling.

Su Yunxi changed her usual long, straight hair today. Her jet-black hair was permed into gentle curls, and the ends were highlighted with a few strands of understated muted purplish-blue, which shimmered with a mysterious luster under the lights.

Combined with her already exquisite face, she exudes an extra touch of languid charm.

"So that's why you took Monday off saying you had something to do. Turns out you secretly went to get your hair done." Lin Xiaoran also came over and reached out to touch the slightly curled ends of her hair. "This color is absolutely stunning, both pure and alluring. How did you come up with that?"

Another girl in the dorm, Li Jing, who was wearing glasses and reading a book, also pushed up her glasses and exclaimed sincerely, "She really looks good, and she has a more refined air about her than before."

Su Yunxi felt a little embarrassed by their praise, but she felt sweet inside.

She walked to the mirror and adjusted her new hairstyle; every curl was carefully designed by her.

"Stop joking." She turned around, a gentle smile on her face. "Is everything ready? We should probably head out soon."

"Ready?" Chen Jiajia excitedly shook her car keys. "Ta-da! This female driver is in position."

"It's good that we have a car." Li Jing closed her book. "I just checked the navigation, and there's no public transportation to that farmhouse. It's difficult to even get a taxi. It's perfect that we drive there ourselves."

"Then what are we waiting for, sisters, let's go!" Lin Xiaoran picked up her small bag, already impatient.

The girls chattered as they packed their things, locked their dorm room, and headed towards the school gate.

Chen Jiajia's family car is a white B&B electric car, which is spacious.

"Xixi, you're a little carsick, why don't you sit in the passenger seat?" Lin Xiaoran thoughtfully opened the passenger door.

"Okay." Su Yunxi didn't refuse and gracefully sat down inside.

Chen Jiajia got into the driver's seat and skillfully started the car.

She placed her father's spare phone, which he had left in the car specifically for navigation, on a holder and opened the navigation app.

The phone screen flickered.

Chen Jiajia entered her destination, and a clear, crisp female voice from the navigation system rang out.

"Let's go, our destination: a farm stay."

......

On the outskirts of Xiangcheng, next to a bus stop.

Tian Wenwu brought his electric scooter to a steady stop.

"Brother You, I'll drop you off here." He pointed to the two bulging snakeskin bags at Song You's feet. "Any further on is the suburbs, and my electric scooter can't cover the round trip."

"Alright, that's enough." Song You jumped off the back seat, picked up the two snakeskin bags, and carried them to the roadside. "Thanks for today, I'll treat you to drinks later."

"Absolutely." Tian Wenwu patted his chest, then lowered his voice as if he remembered something, "By the way, you really don't need my help with your three million debt? Although I don't have a lot of money, I can still scrape together a few tens of thousands."

"I appreciate the thought," Song You interrupted him, "but you should think about how you're going to celebrate the New Year before renting a Mercedes."

Tian Wenwu's face flushed red instantly.

"I'm off." He said, turned on the throttle, and the little yellow electric scooter quickly disappeared into the traffic.

Song You watched his departing figure and smiled.

He took out his phone, checked the time: 3 PM.

Going back now will allow us to make it just in time for dinner.

He opened the ride-hailing app on his phone, skillfully selected the carpooling service, and entered his destination.

Come and experience a farm stay!

Confirmed, order placed.

On his phone screen, the system immediately began matching him with nearby drivers going in the same direction.

A few seconds later, a notification popped up on the screen.

[You have been matched with a driver going in the same direction. The car is a white Honda Civic, license plate number Xiang A·XXXXX, and it is 3.2 kilometers away from you. It is expected to arrive in 8 minutes. Please wait by the roadside.]
