Chapter 1552: Some Things Never Change

Their benefactor was treating them well. How could they let their benefactor help them move the seeds?
Seeing that some people were even about to cry, Xue Yan had no choice but to stay put. However, he told the people who went to help move that wooden box that the missing person notice was inside there.
Missing person notice?
Tao Zhen then asked, “Xue Yan, Jiang Yue, you said that you were looking for someone, but you don’t know if you can find them. Who are you looking for? Is this missing person notice for that person?”
“Yes, that’s what it’s for. But to be honest, we don’t know what the person we’re looking for is called or what he looks like. However, my wife and I have written everything we know about the missing person notice about that person. If he sees the missing person notice, he will know that we’re looking for him.”
When the seeds were brought over, they were distributed under the leadership of the village chief, Tao Jinyan.
Although Tao Jinyan was the host, he was no longer as young as he used to be. Tao Zhen was the one who was busy and in charge of handling these things.
The wooden box containing the missing person notice was placed at the side. Seeing that Tao Zhen was busy and Tao Jinyan was just standing at the side, Xue Yan opened the wooden box and took out a notice for him to see.
At this moment, Jiang Yue said, “There are two thousand pieces here. My husband and I plan to put them up wherever we can. As long as someone passes by and can see them, we can pass it to them.
“Yaoshui Town is in Dianhe County, so we’ll have to put them up too. Other than putting them up, we can also give them to passers-by to take them back to their village. At most, we can give one to each person. If we are sure that they are a family, we will only give one to them.
“All of this is just to let more people know about this missing person notice so that my husband and I can have a better chance of finding the person. Whether it’s to post it or to distribute it to pedestrians, we need it to spread as far and wide as possible. Therefore, if there are people in Stone Village who can do this job and are free, we want to hire these people in Stone Village to help us do this. Of course, it won’t be just these two thousand flyers. My husband and I will send more missing person notices later. As for the salary, we will pay the same amount as the others.”
“How can we ask for wages?” Tao Jinyan immediately said, “We don’t need wages. You gave us so much food, seeds, and vegetables. Even if we sell our entire village, we won’t be able to pay you back.”
“Yes, yes,” the others who heard this echoed. He expressed that he would not ask for any salary.
“If you don’t want the salary, my husband and I will have to go to town and hire someone else to do this,” Jiang Yue insisted.
Xue Yan also nodded, indicating that he agreed with his wife.
“This…” The people of Stone Village were in a difficult position. They wanted to do something for their benefactors, but their benefactors didn’t want them to do it for free. They did not want the money. Yet, they were not willing to let others take this job.
“Let’s listen to Xue Yan and Jiang Yue,” Tao Zhen said. The two benefactors had their own opinions, and some of them insisted on not letting others take it.
It would be troublesome to find someone else. It would be better to hire people in Stone Village. It would be more convenient for the two benefactors if they were the helpers.
“Alright then.”
“How much do you usually pay for hiring people to work?” Jiang Yue asked. She was asking Tao Zhen. She felt that the others would not tell the truth and would only believe him.
