The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Shu Yu’s words were neither too loud nor too soft. At this moment, it was very quiet both inside and outside the room. Not only did the man hear it, but even the others lined up not far from the door heard it clearly.

Those who originally didn’t know how to read were relieved; it was indeed the right decision to come and try.

The man was particularly beaming and quickly asked, ”Then, do you think I can do it? I’m very strong.”

Shu Yu, ”What are you good at doing at home? What can you do?”

”I, I can farm. I manage ten acres of land by myself, and the harvest is very good.”

As soon as he said this, someone outside the door chuckled softly, causing the man to blush again. He suddenly realized that this was an academy, and knowing how to farm was useless here.

However, Shu Yu started to ponder her ever-expanding sunflower field. Knowing how to farm, that’s a good skill.

She looked at the man in front of her, ”Since you have ten acres of land at home and a good harvest, why are you thinking of coming here to find work?”

The man said softly, ”My wife says that I’m not smart, so she told me to come to the academy to work more, interact more with educated people, and broaden my horizons. Maybe after hearing and seeing more, I’ll have knowledge in my mind.”

Shu Yu, ”...” Your wife sure speaks frankly.

”But if you come to work at the academy, what will happen to the ten acres of land at home? Who will take care of it?”

”I have a brother and a younger brother, they can do it.”

Shu Yu squinted, ”Didn’t you say that you farm those ten acres all by yourself? What about your brothers?”

The man pursed his lips, a bit hesitant, ”They’re not in good health, often get sick. My parents are worried about them having accidents, so... they take more care of them.”

Hearing this, Shu Yu understood everything clearly.

The eldest at the top, the youngest at the bottom, and here he was in the middle, the least favored by the parents, turned into the family’s hardworking ox.

What brothers sick? It’s just an excuse to shirk work.

Well, if he really worked at the academy in the future, would that cure his brothers’ illnesses?

Shu Yu looked at the man in front of her, hmm, naive, but not entirely foolish. His hesitant speech suggested he was aware of his parents’ favoritism and his brothers’ exploitation. Yet, despite knowing, he diligently tended the ten acres, indicating he couldn’t figure out a way to break out of this predicament, indeed not the brightest.

But his wife is interesting, smart even, seizing the opportunity to make him grasp it.

She said his mind isn’t sharp and sent him to the academy to be cultured, but if lucky enough to be hired by the academy, it would give an explanation to the parents and free him from those leech-like family members, it would at least be a first step.

The good thing about this man is that he knows right from wrong and listens to his wife’s advice.

Shu Yu was thoughtful, but the man grew more anxious.

He was just about to say something to make up for it when Shu Yu asked, ”First, go over there, register your name, address, and basic information with my maid. If you have nothing else, wait in the room next door or walk around the academy, and I’ll tell you the result in the afternoon. If you have something to do, you can go home first.”

”I can wait...” His wife instructed him to speak honestly, do things honestly, and if he could stay, try hard to stay and not miss the opportunity.

Shu Yu nodded and then signaled to Ying Xi. The man went to register on the side.

Only then did Shu Yu call for the next person.
