I Sent You Home to Farm, So Why Are You Making the National Treasure Shuck Corn?

【No livestreaming + no System + no heroine + adorable pets + everyday contrasts】 After going bankrupt, Lu Jing returned to his hometown and inherited an abandoned farm. To save on labor costs, he set his sights on the wild animals loafing around in the mountains. “Hey, giant panda, aren’t you strong? Go dig up the sweet potatoes in those few acres behind the hill. I’ll treat you to a bucket of panda milk at lunch.” “Northeast tiger, aren’t you fast? Go patrol the orchard tonight and catch melon thieves. I’ll reward you with a big white goose.” “Red-crowned crane, aren’t your legs long? Stand at the gate and greet guests. If you slack off, you’ll be having the budget version of iron-pot stewed goose tonight!” While everyone else was worrying about how to protect wild animals, the farm was full of once unruly beasts lining up with stainless steel bowls, waiting for their meals. A passing tourist filmed them and posted the video online. The whole internet was outraged: “Exploiting a giant panda? This boss deserves the death penalty!” But when the Forestry Bureau showed up for a surprise inspection, they saw the wild panda clinging desperately to Lu Jing’s leg, crying that it wanted another hour of chopping wood in exchange for an apple. Opening-chapter hook: A wild giant panda that had run away from home sneaks into the farm to steal corn and gets caught. Instead of pampering it, Lu Jing produces a “Labor Contract” and forces the panda, who can understand human speech, to stamp it with its paw. Thus begins the national treasure’s career as a woodcutter. What comes next: More and more animals hear that the farm provides room and board and come down the mountain to “apply for jobs.” The farm keeps expanding, and Lu Jing becomes a top agricultural tycoon with this unpaid workforce. The animals, meanwhile, refuse to leave, even if it kills them.
