San Zong said, "Rest assured, Young Lord! San Zong has studied the growth process of Wild Rhinoceros Pigs, and has some ideas about what they eat. San Zong will work with... and carefully prepare their feed!"
San Zong was so excited that he almost blurted out "Aunt Chen."
The words were on the tip of his tongue when he remembered Xia Chujian's reminder, and he made a sudden turn.
Xia Chujian said with a smile, "There's no rush. Let's just raise them for a few days and see their habits."
San Zong nodded and went to supervise Bai Li Xin and the others in building the temporary breeding farm.
San Zong had many ideas about this and tried his best to communicate with Bai Li Xin and the others, wanting to build the temporary breeding farm according to his own ideas.
Song Mingqian then asked Xia Chujian, "Chujian, do you have a large freezer at home? I want to put these Wild Rhinoceros Pig meat at your place first, and then sell it little by little."
He emphasized, "We won't use your equipment for free, it will all be included in the cost, and we'll pay."
Xia Chujian didn't refuse, saying, "I just had a Preservation Cold Storage built at home, and you can rent part of it."
"How about this, I'll arrange it, and Song Ge can contact buyers."
"When they pay, we'll ship the goods, how does that sound?"
Song Mingqian looked at Ping Qiong and Li Fu.
They both nodded together, "That's good! Convenient! And we can have Chujian's Aunt help us collect the money, and we can settle accounts once a quarter."
Xia Chujian thought, my Aunt doesn't have time to help you collect money, but Aunt Chen can...
However, Aunt Chen is temporarily a non-public figure, so she will work under the name of Xia Yuanfang, but the person who actually does the work is Aunt Chen.
Xia Chujian said with a smile, "My Aunt opened a Reproductive Assistance Studio, and she's not too busy usually, so she can still collect money."
Song Mingqian quickly said, "We won't let your Aunt work for nothing, we will pay according to the market price."
Xia Chujian said, "That's easy to say, don't I trust you guys?"
After saying this, Xia Chujian looked at Ping Qiong again and said, "Cai Jie, isn't the house you bought still not renovated? And you want to buy houses for your younger siblings?"
"You have nine younger siblings, right? Can you afford it?"
Ping Qiong originally wanted to lie and say that it had already been renovated, but under the concerned gazes of her teammates, she covered her face and sighed, "...I...I gave the money to my mom, and my mom wants me to give the house I bought to my younger brother."
Song Mingqian didn't say anything, but Li Fu frowned, "Cai Jie, if you continue like this, you'll be working for your family for nothing your whole life."
"It's one thing to support your own parents, but do you have to support your younger siblings for the rest of your life?"
"You'll want to get married and have children yourself in the future, so what about your own children?"
Ping Qiong lowered her head and didn't say anything for a long time.
Xia Chujian sighed, "Cai Jie, you have to think this through yourself."
"If you're willing to support your younger siblings for the rest of your life, there's nothing wrong with that."
"Look at those Nobles' families, aren't they all supported by the head of the family?"
Li Fu said sarcastically, "That's right! But they are Nobles! Cai Jie, when you are also ennobled and become a Noble, you can support a whole family of younger siblings more generously!"
They all disliked Ping Qiong's family.
Ping Qiong's money was all earned by risking her life as a Bounty Hunter.
It didn't fall from the sky.
She wasn't young anymore, and her personal problems needed to be considered, but Ping Qiong's parents had no intention of planning for her at all, and just kept fleecing Ping Qiong, this one sheep.
Ping Qiong wasn't ungrateful.
It was just that she had been nagged by her parents at home for so many years that she had subconsciously accepted her role in the family as a contributor, a provider who had to fulfill the wishes of her family.
But under the subtle influence of her Team members, she was gradually awakening.
After a long silence, Ping Qiong looked at Song Mingqian and said, "Song Mingqian, can I put my share of the money with you?"
Song Mingqian's heart skipped a beat, and then his face was filled with joy, and he nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes! I will definitely take good care of your money!"
"Let's renovate your house first, and with the remaining money, I'll find a way to invest it for you..."
Xia Chujian quickly said, "Song Ge, stop right there! Just put Cai Jie's money in a fixed deposit, what kind of investment are you talking about!"
"If you don't manage your money, it will leave you!"
Song Mingqian's lips twitched, and he said, "Okay, then I'll put it in a fixed deposit."
Ping Qiong said, "If I keep this money, I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand my parents' nagging, and they'll coax it out of me again..."
Li Fu said, "Your family is relying on you. They've already bought a big house in the best West District of Mulan City. Your many younger siblings are all in good schools."
"You're paying for all their tuition, living expenses, and pocket money."
"I heard your parents don't work anymore. Now your dad often goes fishing, and your mom just manages the housework and is even planning to hire a Humanoid Lowly Person as an hourly worker, right?"
Ping Qiong's face turned red, and she murmured, "Fu Ge, how do you know everything?"
Actually, she had mentioned these things to Song Mingqian, and Song Mingqian had complained to Li Fu.
Song Mingqian's face turned purple with anxiety, and he made a throat-slitting gesture, begging Li Fu not to sell him out.
Li Fu calmly lied, "I ran into one of your old neighbors a few days ago, and they mentioned your family's recent situation while we were chatting."
"That neighbor said your mom went back to visit the old neighborhood and was bragging about it herself."
Ping Qiong had initially suspected Song Mingqian, but after hearing what Li Fu said, she believed him.
Because that was indeed something her mother would do.
Ye Shijie, having finalized the land rental, ended the call and said, "Cai Jie, you're not helping your family, you're hurting them."
"We're all ordinary people, and although we've now become high-level Gene Evolvers, our families can become Citizens."
"But you and I both know how dangerous this line of work is."
"If something happens to us, and our families don't have the ability to support themselves, think about what will happen to them."
Commoners becoming Citizens isn't permanent.
Once they can't afford the taxes that Citizens are supposed to pay, they'll be demoted back to Commoners.
Ping Qiong had never thought about it from this perspective.
Ye Shijie's words made her face turn pale. After a long daze, she gritted her teeth and said, "I was wrong. I'll make it clear to my parents when I go back this time."
"I shouldn't be the one paying for the family's living expenses."
"I can give my parents some support money, but I won't be paying for my younger siblings for now."
Xia Chujian said with a straight face, "Cai Jie, you know this yourself, so we won't say much."
"Ye Dui is absolutely right. Don't think you're doing your family a favor by taking on everything. You're actually depriving them of their ability to live independently."
Li Fu, Song Mingqian, and Ye Shijie exchanged glances, all suppressing their laughter.
If Ping Qiong's family knew what Xia Chujian was saying, they would probably want to beat her up...
Please stop! Who would want to live independently if someone else is providing for them?! But to Ping Qiong, Xia Chujian's words were even more agreeable than Ye Shijie's.
She immediately said, "I should move out of the house. It will be much better if I don't see them every day."
Ye Shijie then said, "Speaking of this, I have an idea."
He looked at everyone and said, "Chujian is going to Beichen Star for university."
"I'm planning to apply to have our Team transferred to Beichen Star as well. What do you think?"
The headquarters of the Dark Night Hunter Association is indeed on Beichen Star.
The Dark Night Hunter Teams on Beichen Star have the best conditions in all aspects, and of course, their quality and abilities are also top-notch.
Li Fu, Song Mingqian, and Ping Qiong's eyes all lit up.
Li Fu said loudly, "I agree! I agree! I agree with both hands and feet!"
Song Mingqian nodded, "Ye Dui, that's a great idea! This way, we can stay in frequent contact with Chujian, and if she has time, she can continue to do missions with us!"
Ping Qiong smiled and grabbed Xia Chujian's arm, "Chujian, we can be your support!"
Xia Chujian was also very happy and said, "Can we really be transferred to Beichen Star?! I'm really looking forward to doing missions with you on the weekends! And earning extra money!"
This was truly Xia Chujian's way of thinking.
The team members laughed together.
Ye Shijie said, "So everyone agrees? — I'll go apply right away."
"I've studied the Association's internal transfer requirements. In our team, only Chujian isn't a Gene Evolver."
"Li Fu, Song Mingqian, and Ping Qiong, and I are already considered high-level Gene Evolvers."
"Chujian's Gunmanship is undoubtedly the best in the Association, and she has made great contributions."
"According to the Association's charter, our team meets the transfer requirements."
"You probably haven't noticed, but our team's configuration is now number one on the entire Guiyuan Star. We should have gone to Beichen Star to make a name for ourselves long ago."
The teammates laughed together.
They really hadn't noticed that.
Xia Chujian quickly said, "Then, Ye Dui, please proceed with the operation."
"Song Ge, what about selling this Wild Rhinoceros Pig meat?"
Song Mingqian said, "It doesn't matter. Anyway, I only contact the buyers and negotiate the price. The delivery and payment collection are handled by your family. We don't have to transport it ourselves."
Xia Chujian was satisfied and held out her palm, saying, "Come on! Congratulations to us for being able to do missions together for the next four years!"
The five people's palms met, and they all laughed happily.
Song Mingqian was the happiest because he could take Ping Qiong away from Guiyuan Star, away from her increasingly blood-sucking family.
Ping Qiong was also very happy because she knew that being so far away, even if her family wanted to find her, they would have to see if they had money to buy a spaceship ticket!
...
After the teammates left, Xia Chujian called Xia Yuanfang and Aunt Chen to the small study next to the first-floor living room and told them what had happened today.
She said to Aunt Chen, "Aunt Chen, I don't know if you would be willing to help manage the accounts. Of course, it's not for free. We will treat it as a formal job, give you remuneration, and also a share of the profit distribution."
Aunt Chen quickly said, "I can help, and you don't need to give me money. It's just helping to collect money. How could it be so serious that you need to pay wages? Besides, Chujian, you have helped me and Yingying so much. I haven't repaid you yet!"
Xia Chujian said, "Aunt Chen, you have already repaid me. Now we are talking about official business. We must handle it officially, or this matter won't last long."
Xia Yuanfang considered for a while and said, "Chujian, you shouldn't have agreed to this in one go."
"You should have asked me and Aunt Chen what we thought first."
