With his second uncle’s family’s personality, Zhao Yan actually didn’t want to bring them to plant mushrooms.

However, he needed manpower to expand the planting of mushrooms, so he couldn’t avoid his second uncle’s family.

However, Zhao Yan was very worried about entrusting things to his second uncle’s familv.

Even hesitating for a while, Zhao Yan still couldn’t think of a solution.

However, they couldn’t delay the planting of mushrooms anymore, so they had to make a decision.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yan decided to look for his grandfather, Zhao Huaishan.

After lunch, Zhao Huaishan rested under a big tree in the courtyard with his eyes closed.

Hearing footsteps, Zhao Huaishan opened his eyes and looked at Zhao Yan, who was walking over.

“Yan’er, what’s wrong?”

Zhao Yan nodded and sat on the stool beside his grandfather.

“Grandpa, there’s something I can’t make up my mind about. I want to hear your suggestion!”

Zhao Huaishan was immediately interested.

“Oh, I wonder how I can help you?”

Zhao Yan didn’t hide anything and told him about what he was hesitating over.

After Zhao Huaishan heard this, he thought about it for a while silently.

“There’s a saying that goes, even biological brothers have to settle accounts clearly! You can make it clear to your second uncle that they can work at your place to earn money. However, if they want to work, they have to do it well. They’ll be treated as equals with the people you hire. If they don’t do it well, they’ll be fired! Moreover, you developed the technology to plant mushrooms yourself. This is your secret to earning money. You can’t teach it to anyone else!”

Zhao Yan hesitated when he heard his grandfather’s words.

“Is that really a good idea? Won’t it ruin the relationship between relatives?”

Zhao Huaishan reminded, “Yan’er, if you can’t explain things clearly now, you’ll have a headache in the future! Therefore, if you want to get things done well, don’t be so soft-hearted at first. Laying down the rules first is the most important thing when working together!”

“Grandpa, do you think Second Uncle and the others can really do a good job?”

Zhao Yan revealed what he was worried about.

“Don’t think too much about it! Leave it to time to prove it! If your second uncle and the others can’t do it, you don’t need them anymore! You’ve done everything you can, so there’s no reason for them to blame you in the future!” Zhao Huaishan said, “As for your method of planting mushrooms, no matter who asks you for it, you can’t give it to them. You worked hard to develop it. It’s something you can make a livelihood on. You can’t even give it to your father!”

After hearing his grandfather’s words, Zhao Yan finally sorted out his thoughts.

“Grandpa, I know what to do!” Zhao Yan smiled in relief.

“If you’ve thought it through, do it! I support you!” Zhao Huaishan said happily.

Zhao Yan nodded and returned to his room to think about what to do.

Soon, Zhao Yan drafted a recruitment notice and listed his conditions.

Although Zhao Yan was learning how to read, he didn’t know how to write yet, so he found someone to help him write a notice.

With this recruitment notice, Zhao Yan went to his second uncle’s house first.

Zhao Long and Jin Xiaojing happened to be there. When they saw Zhao Yan at their house, they asked him why he was there.

Zhao Yan told them about how he needed to hire people in order to expand the scale of mushroom planting.

“Second Uncle, Second Aunt, I’m just here to ask if you guys want to work! ” Zhao Long actually knew about Zhao Yan planting mushrooms.

After all, many people were asking about the origins of mushrooms and wanted to buy them, so Zhao Long had also heard some news.

To be honest, Zhao Yan was very envious of his nephew.

However, he never expected his nephew to ask him to work for him.

“You want me to work at your place and you’ll give me a salary every month?” Zhao Long asked in disbelief.

Zhao Yan said, “That’s right! Second Uncle, the salary I’ll give you is definitely generous. Of course, this salary is the same as other people’s. After all, what you do is the same, so the salary is naturally the same! Besides, it’s much easier to work at my place. It won’t be so tiring!”

Zhao Long was so angry that he trembled.

Zhao Long wasn’t so down and out that he needed to work for his nephew!

He felt that Zhao Yan wasn’t here to talk to him, but to humiliate him.

“There’s no need to say anything else. I won’t work at your place!” Zhao Long refused and was unwilling to hear Zhao Yan continue.

When Zhao Yan heard his second uncle’s words and saw his expression, he stood up.

“Since you’re unwilling, forget it!” Zhao Yan strode away.

After walking out of his second uncle’s house, Zhao Yan heaved a sigh of relief after confirming that there was no one around.

Fortunately, his second uncle didn’t want to come. Otherwise, even if he was unwilling, he could only let his second uncle do it.

After settling this matter, Zhao Yan felt much more relaxed. Then, he took the job recruitment notice and went to recruit other people.

At this moment, Zhao Long was so angry that his chest hurt and veins bulged on his face.

“All of them look down on us! What? He thinks he’s so great just because he developed a way to plant mushrooms? He actually wants me to work for him! This ignorant kid is really bold!”

When Jin Xiaojing heard her husband’s words, she quickly came over to calm him down. Then, she echoed, “That’s right. If they really treat you as family, they should let us plant mushrooms with them. After we sell them for money, we’ll split them equally! I think Zhao Yan doesn’t take you seriously, so he won’t let us benefit no matter what!”

When the furious Zhao Long heard Jin Xiaojing’s words, he felt that she made sense.

“Hmph, I think Third Brother is looking down on me even more now! He actually let Zhao Yan tell me about such a big thing! He’s sure that I can’t lower my pride to do it, so he let Zhao Yan come! I’ve really underestimated my third brother!”

Jin Xiaojing said, “Husband, don’t be so angry! Isn’t it just planting mushrooms? There’s nothing impressive about it. Let’s do a big business too. In the future, when we earn money, we won’t bring Li Shun along!”

“What kind of business can we do?” Zhao Long was tempted, but then he frowned and said, “We don’t know what business to do to earn money!”

“Sigh, this is easy to handle! Isn’t our future son-in-law working in Xiaoran’s noodle shop? He’s been following Li Xiaoran for so long, so he should be able to learn a thing or two! When the time comes, let Mao Dao investigate what business earns a lot of money. Then, we’ll do that business!” Jin Xiaojing came up with this idea..
