Chapter 1466: Chapter 708: Testing

There’s a saying that goes, "Know the face but not the heart."

Kids like Lin Haihu are a dime a dozen in Sancha River, giving off the vibe that you can see right through them at a glance.

Heartless, careless, and with a skin thicker than city walls. Doesn’t focus on studies and only cares about playing, and also has a bit of a greedy streak. Loads of shortcomings, but as for merits... if not committing crimes or ending up in jail counts as a merit, then he’s got that going for him.

In fact, those who feel this way about him aren’t wrong; he is exactly that kind of naughty child.

But everyone has their little schemes, even the naive naughty children have things they care about.

For instance, student Lin Haihu, he always treated ’selling information’ as a grand career. Because this related to his ’quality of life,’ whether he could secretly gather some naughty children to sneak some drinks like the adults or smoke some good cigarettes.

So he was always paying attention, checking if there were any new bits of information in the village to inform Journalist Zhang in the city and earn some money from information fees. This guy even sold information locally—he once sold information about the distribution of cows to the villages, which he overheard by chance, revealing which villages would receive how many cows, and earned twenty yuan per piece of information.

This bit of information might not be a big deal, but it was important to those villagers. Knowing in advance was like a reassurance, and they were willing to pay twenty yuan for it, not to mention that this kid was Yan Fei’s cousin.

Of course, he did this secretly. If anyone found out, Yan Fei would definitely take care of him— he wouldn’t dare to spill it.

In fact, not just this sale of information, even with other news topics he made money from, he would never brag about it to anyone else—most of the information was already known by many, and if everyone knew that calling up the news agencies could earn them a fee, then he’d have a lot more ’competitors’!

In any case, probably because those who have dealt with him just see him as a naughty child, that teacher was a bit careless and straightforward with his questions. During one conversation, the teacher indirectly asked him: "The beef quality of our cattle is so good, is there a secret to it?"

This wasn’t any big deal, but the teacher even bluntly said, if you know what the secret is, we could make a fortune... even if you don’t get into college, no worries, just relying on this secret would suffice for a prosperous life.

If Lin Haihu was just a regular naughty child, he would’ve just listened and maybe bragged a bit about some irrelevant stuff, since he didn’t know anything crucial anyhow.

As a naughty child who saw ’selling information’ as his ’career,’ however, Lin Haihu was exceptionally vigilant about valuable information.

Moreover, though he sold information, the info was always the less important stuff; he would never sell information that could jeopardize key operations on the farm.

He didn’t refrain from doing so out of nobility but rather from simple reasoning: first, he needed to show loyalty. His younger cousin had always been loyal to him, so he couldn’t betray his brother. Also, while they joked about the information fees, nobody really acted on them. Second, local sentiments valued kin over justice; no matter how kind the teacher was, he was an outsider, while Yan Fei and the others from the farm were his own people.

Now that the teacher had inquired about such a crucial matter, Lin Haihu thought, why is this guy so nice to me, is it because he wants to pry information from me?

I knew it, teachers being this nice to students like me, there must be something fishy.

The teacher would have never expected that this naughty child, while still joking around with him, would run to Yan Fei and betray him for two hundred yuan.

It’s tough to argue about these things, who would have thought that such a naughty child could be so cautious! Normally, kids of this age, as long as you were nice to them, would openly share everything with you, wouldn’t they?

"I’m telling you, there’s definitely something off about that teacher, he might even be a spy sent from somewhere else. Are you going to pay up or not? If not, we can’t be brothers anymore, I ran here to tell you the minute I felt something was off..." After Lin Haihu finished speaking, Yan Fei fell into thought. Impatient, Lin urged him on.

"Alright, alright, I’ll definitely pay." Yan Fei said, rummaging in his pocket, pulled out a few bills and handed him two. "Two hundred yuan, take it."

Lin Haihu joyfully took the money and even pretentiously patted it in his hand, flicked it twice with his fingers: "Then I’m off to sleep, heh heh! Don’t worry, I definitely won’t betray you, brother. If anything like this happens again, I’ll still come tell you..."

"Don’t go yet." Yan Fei called out as he was about to leave.

- "What’s up?" Already gleefully about to exit, Lin Haihu turned around, clutching the two hundred yuan tightly. "You can’t go back on it now, I’ve pinpointed a potential enemy for you, two hundred yuan really isn’t a lot!"

"Have you ever seen me go back on money I’ve given out?" Seeing his vigilant attitude, Yan Fei was amused. "Don’t worry, I was thinking of giving you another chance to make money. Are you interested?"
