The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 239 The Escort is Here
The grain harvest was successful, and the donkey cart was bought back that same day. Six young men from the village planned to follow Wang Chuanman.

Some of them were worried about the food supply, while others were concerned about Wang Chuanman's safety.

Everyone was fully prepared and ready to go, as if everything was ready.

Wang Chuanman was preparing to transport grain, and the Wang family children's busy farming holiday was almost over, so they needed to rush to town to go to school.

"Won't there be any problems if we just send them to transport the grain like this?" Old Wang was still a little uneasy. "Should we hire two more bodyguards from the escort agency?"

It shouldn't cost too much money for the whole trip.

For ordinary镖师 (bodyguards/escorts), the commission for each shipment is usually calculated based on the price of the goods.

Valuable items are selected one out of ten, while items like grain are usually selected one out of fifteen.

Fifty shi of grain, all purchased at one tael of silver per shi, amounted to a cost price of five hundred taels, with a profit of forty-five taels.

They knew such detailed prices because Chitu told them.

Upon hearing the price, Wang Chuanman shook his head vigorously.

"No, no, no, this is too expensive!"

Their trip was purely to help the villagers sell their goods; they didn't even know if they would make any money.

Moreover, they calculated it based on a price that wouldn't make a profit. If they were to add another 45 taels, wouldn't they be losing money hand over fist?
Little Ayu looked at Red Hare and asked, "Uncle Rabbit, are those bodyguard uncles very powerful?"

Watching the little guy blink his eyes, he had an expression that showed great longing for those bodyguards.

Red Hare blurted out, "It's just so-so."

Forty taels is the price for an ordinary bodyguard. If they want to transport goods, they won't go for ordinary bodyguards. The price will sometimes be more than ten times higher.

"Is the bodyguard even more powerful than Mr. Chi?" Wang Wulang asked. Mr. Chi was naturally the Red Armor.

The red snake next to him had just helped load the grain onto the donkey cart when it heard Wang Wulang's words as soon as it entered the door.

With a sneer, before Red Hare could stop him, he said, "Red Armor is just so-so, but it's still not as good as a bodyguard."

"And how do you compare?"

"Of course it can't compare!"

“Alright, then please escort the goods,” Grandma Wang suddenly said.

"Okay—huh? What?" Red Serpent realized that the person speaking was not Wang Wulang, but Old Lady Wang.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

"Aren't you overjoyed? Look, you helped sort the grain, transport it, and weigh it. Besides hot water and meals, you didn't even ask for wages. Although you asked for it yourselves, we're a kind family, and we always felt bad about it, so we found you some new work." Old Mrs. Wang smiled sincerely, and her tone was exceptionally kind. Before Chi She could even speak, she patted his shoulder. "I think you're all hardworking young men, unlike the lazybones in our family. You work whenever there's work to be done, and you do whatever you're paid for. You're efficient and decisive. I have high hopes for you."

Red Serpent: "That's not—"

"How about this, you send two or three people to come with our fourth son. Each person will be provided with food and lodging, and we'll even give them two taels of silver. Isn't that more than you going to the fields to harvest the crops? What do you say?"

Cold sweat beaded on the Red Serpent's forehead: "We—"

"Mr. Snake, please!" Little Ayu appeared in front of the red snake without anyone noticing, her two little hands cupped under her chin, her little eyes blinking.

The Red Serpent, as if possessed, said, "...Okay."

Red Hare immediately took a step back: "The three of you are just enough. I'll stay home and watch the house. I really envy you guys. You can earn two taels of silver just by going out once! It won't be long before you save enough money to get married."

The other three: ? ? ?
You shouldn't be called Red Hare; you should switch names with Red Dog!
