Fully Leveled Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 2085: Chapter 2085: Evil Pays for Evil

Furthermore, Wan Liangding has parents and a wife to support, so he can only compromise and continue working in the escort agency.

However, the incident with Yuan Gui left a thorn in his heart. After more than half a year, he ultimately couldn’t face the apathy of the people in the escort agency and couldn’t endure the internal agony, so he left that agency.

When Yuan Gui sought him out, he was doing manual labor, helping someone repair roof tiles.

Originally, after leaving, he planned to seek work in other escort agencies, but who would have thought the original agency would use their industry connections to ruin his reputation, making it impossible for him to find work as an escort.

At this time, his wife was pregnant, so Wan Liangding could only look for short-term jobs to keep life going.

Thus, when Yuan Gui saw him again, not only was Wan Liangding so shocked he almost fell off the roof, but Yuan Gui almost couldn’t recognize his frail and miserable appearance.

After a moment of excited reunion, Wan Liangding learned that Yuan Gui had gone through so much.

But Yuan Gui was still alive, which was a joy for him.

He even heard that Yuan Gui had become the grandson of the county magistrate’s aunt, which made Wan Liangding lament that surviving great hardships leads to future blessings.

Yuan Gui saw that he had left that lousy escort agency and invited him to join Lu’s Caravan.

Work with the caravan was actually easier and more stable than at the escort agency. Previously, the Minor Escort Agency escorted people not far and mostly did personal escorts, which involved many tasks and dissatisfaction, not to mention that it didn’t pay much.

But transporting goods was different, as they took fixed routes, passing through various town and city roads. There was no need to worry about lodging outside and no need to face the difficulties posed by the clients.

The accommodations wouldn’t be too bad either; not only is there a fixed wage every month, but there are bonuses for each delivery. How could Wan Liangding not be tempted by such treatment? It’s far better than facing nitpicking home owners while repairing roofs.

The only downside might be the difficulty of tending to home, but his family supported him.

So the two sought out two or three old friends to work together. Yuan Gui was fully in charge of this, while Shu Yu only recognized them, asked a few questions, and signed the contract before letting them proceed.

After that, Yuan Gui started dealing with his property in the prefecture.

He then learned that after the news of his supposed death spread, the escort agency occupied his house, claiming it was for debt repayment.

The escort agency even produced an IOU, clearly stating that Yuan Gui owed the agency twenty taels of silver.

So the agency intended to rent out the house until they collected twenty taels of silver.

Wan Dingliang was unaware of this, but he knew Yuan Gui was indeed financially troubled before, so he couldn’t be sure whether Yuan Gui had borrowed money from the agency.

Well, once Yuan Gui returned, the truth became clear.

Moreover, Yuan Gui sued the agency to the authorities.

He was evidently not dead, yet the agency took advantage of his disappearance to deregister him with the authorities and seized his property.

Indeed, Lu Sanzhu accompanied him for this. He was talkative, and after recovering the debt, helped to spread the word. The agency’s reputation plummeted, and its business, which was finally picking up, crashed.

Now, four or five months later, it’s said that it’s so desolate that the escorts have all left, leaving only the signboard outside the door as a testament to the agency.

It seems likely that soon, this signboard will also be taken down.
