When Du Yue and He Xing returned to the Seed Station, Xia Ju immediately came up to them. “Why are you only back now? Did something happen?”

Du Yue waved her hand. “It’s fine.”

Xia Ju did not ask further and only nodded. “That’s good. Let’s hurry up and go home!”

She was already eager to start farming.

Du Yue walked to the counter and took out a bag of grain from her backpack. “How many seeds can a catty of brown rice like this be exchanged for?”

The woman standing at the counter peeked into the bag. After seeing what was inside, her expression was a little disdainful. “This thing is worthless.”

Previously, she saw that Du Yue and Xia Ju were good-looking and dressed very neatly. She had thought that they were rich people! She did not expect that it was just their appearance that was glamorous.

“For grains of this quality, three catties can only be exchanged for one catty of seeds.” This price was within Du Yue’s acceptable range. Du Yue nodded. “Alright, then let’s exchange! Let’s weigh it first!”

The brown rice in the bag was at least ten catties, and they had to weigh out nine catties. There were electronic scales in the Seed Station.

In a short while, the staff member weighed out nine catties of brown rice. She then packed the brown rice before taking out three kinds of seeds, each weighing one catty. Du Yue took out three cloth bags from her backpack and stored the three seeds. After getting the seeds, their mission was considered complete. He Xing reached out and took the cloth bags off Du Yue’s shoulder. “I’ll carry them.”

There was not much to begin with, so Du Yue did not argue with him and nodded. The three of them were about to walk out when Du Yue saw the short and fat man again. The man was walking with his head lowered. For some reason, he suddenly raised his head and looked over.

After seeing Du Yue and the other two, the short and fat man immediately turned around and jogged away from the Seed Station. Du Yue noticed that when he looked at the three of them, there was fear in his eyes as if they were some man-eating beasts. Du Yue was confused. Although she had pulled a face at the man earlier, she did not make a move or threaten him. Why was this fat man suddenly so afraid of them? Du Yue was puzzled for a moment before she suddenly thought of a possibility. She turned to look at Xia Ju.

Du Yue had just looked over when her eyes met Xia Ju’s. Xia Ju blinked. “I didn’t scare him!”

Du Yue was speechless. She wanted to believe Xia Ju, but seeing that Xia Ju was avoiding her gaze and pretending to be unaware of all this, she could not help but laugh out loud. She smiled as she walked out. The three of them quickly walked out and got into the car.

When they sat down in the car, Xia Ju explained, “I really didn’t do anything. After you went out, he came up to me again and said that he wanted to be friends with me and treat me to a meal. Of course, I agreed. I told him that I especially like to eat roasted whole lamb. Moreover, my knife skills are very good. When the roasted whole lamb is served, I’ll cut the mutton piece by piece for him to eat… That knife of mine can cut iron like mud. It can chop off a sheep’s head in the blink of an eye. Who knew that before I could finish speaking, he ran away trembling? Hmph, I think he’s just bragging. If he can’t afford to buy a roasted whole lamb, just say it. Why pretend to be rich?”

At this point, Xia Ju was a little angry and could not help but secretly grind her teeth.

“He was the one who said that he wanted to treat me to a big meal and be my friend. I haven’t even asked for any delicacies, but he went back on his word when I asked for a roasted whole lamb. Someone like him definitely won’t be able to make a good friend!”

Looking at the indignant Xia Ju, Du Yue laughed until her stomach hurt. “Yes, he’s too stingy. It’s all his fault! We’re not going to be friends with him!”

After Du Yue said this, Xia Ju’s expression softened a little. She looked like a child who had complained to her parents and finally had someone to back her up.

However, after thinking about it, Xia Ju still felt a little wronged. “I only said that I like to eat roasted whole lamb. I didn’t say that I was going to eat the entire lamb. I even said that I would chop off the sheep’s head and let him take it, but he still went back on his word. Why is this person like this?”

Du Yue nodded repeatedly. “That’s right. Is this the attitude of a friend? Let’s ignore him!”

Xia Ju nodded heavily.. “Yes, I’m going to ignore him!”
