Chapter 1812 Conditions and Choices
Chapter 1812 Conditions and Choices
They had only recently moved here from the island and hadn't learned any other skills, so they could only make a living by fishing.
The capital city was not located by the sea, so people could only fish in the nearby rivers.
The results were naturally vastly different.
"Honey, we're running low on money lately. If we can't catch more fish...we..."
The wife didn't say anything more, but the husband understood.
Moreover, my wife is pregnant now, so I can't let her suffer. I have to make sure she has good food to nourish her body so that the baby can be born healthy.
"If I can't catch any fish next time, I'll go and work as a porter. I heard you can earn a lot in a day."
Tears welled up in his wife's eyes. Although the job paid well, it was also dangerous; one wrong move could leave her disabled.
But for the sake of their children, they had no other choice but to do this.
"My God, this is a disaster from the start! Even a ninja couldn't afford to support this!"
Zhili's complaints were not without merit; this family's financial situation was simply the lowest possible.
They are completely starving.
"With the establishment of the new city, large-scale relocation will occur, and many civilians will have to do this. There is no other way. If we worry too much, the Water Kingdom will be pulled further and further away."
"I suppose their country is looking for a solution, but this one won't need it."
They were undoubtedly lucky. As Qinghe's parents in this reincarnation, Qufeng would provide them with some care, of course, by taking them to Konoha Village to be cared for.
The couple is still young and able-bodied. If we arrange a job for them, they can live a comfortable life.
As for providing financial support, that's completely out of the question for Qu Feng.
Giving them a well-paying job is definitely a better approach than giving them the same amount of money.
We cherish hard-earned money the most.
"Let's go and meet this couple."
Qu Feng stood at the door and canceled the concealment spell.
This place is quite remote, there are hardly any people around, and nobody pays attention to them.
He knocked on the door, and the couple in the yard noticed him and were both a little puzzled.
How did these two seemingly well-dressed people end up in a working-class area? Were they lost while looking for someone?
"Gentlemen...are you looking for someone?"
Qu Feng smiled slightly: "I've come looking for you two. Please open the door."
The man picked up a broom with some suspicion: "But my wife and I don't know you. We've always been law-abiding citizens and have never had any disputes with anyone. We don't have any enemies."
"You two look like people of high status, so there's no way you could have any dealings with us. Why don't you just state your purpose directly, or I'll have to call for backup."
Seeing the man warily shielding his wife behind him, Qu Feng nodded in satisfaction.
Regardless of how you look at it, he's a responsible man.
"You two have misunderstood. I think you must know my husband and me, or at least have heard of us."
The man frowned even more deeply, deep in thought about the important person he knew.
Could he be a nobleman? But he's never met him before. The only chance he's had is when he's selling fish on the street and has a casual chat with the servants of noblemen.
His wife was also a little scared. They were just ordinary people with no special skills or education, and they didn't know what to do in this situation.
She covered her stomach with her hands to prevent the child from being harmed in case of a conflict.
"You've heard of the Cloud Wind Stealer from Konoha Village, right? That's me, and this is my wife, Uchiha Chiri."
The two were dumbfounded: "Huh? You mean you're the one who can summon wind from the clouds?"
"My lord, even if you want to deceive me, you can't come up with such a bizarre reason, can you?"
"How could I, a mere commoner at the very bottom of society, possibly deserve Lord Qu Feng's attention? It's completely unrelated to me."
One is at the very top of the ninja world, even the Mizukage of their Land of Water is inferior to him.
He was just a struggling commoner from the Land of Water, barely able to afford to eat.
The difference between heaven and earth was something men simply couldn't believe.
Takefusa is also having a bit of a headache. If it were someone from the Land of Fire, it would be much easier to deal with.
After all, there couldn't possibly be anyone in the Land of Fire who didn't know him.
But this is the Land of Water, so he can't just kidnap people; otherwise, it would be considered a kidnapping.
"Alright then, tell me, do you know what abilities Cloud Wind Takes?"
The man immediately spoke up: "Clouds! I've heard that the Cloud Clan, to which Lord Cloud Wind belongs, is most skilled at using clouds and mist for attacks, something like Cloud Escape!"
Before the man could finish speaking, wisps of white clouds poured out from his sleeves and began to swirl around him.
This scene stunned him. The couple thought that Qu Feng was angry and about to kill them, but they found that nothing was wrong.
Moreover, the layers of white clouds around them seemed to confirm the identity of the person in front of them.
Besides the Cloud Clan, no one else can use Cloud Escape.
"You...are you really Lord Qu Feng?"
"No one will dare to impersonate me anymore."
Upon seeing this, the man immediately dropped the broom and rushed to open the door for Feng!
"Lord Qufeng! Why are you looking for us? My wife and I have never seen you before."
To get the couple to come back to the Land of Fire with him, he made up a pretext.
“I made a bet with your Mizukage. If I won, I would be allowed to choose a family from the Land of Water and bring them back to Konoha to live with. Obviously, the Mizukage lost.”
"That's why I chose you two and plan to take you to live in Konoha Village. Now it's up to you two to decide."
The couple were stunned when they heard this; they had never imagined it would turn out this way.
Go live in Konoha Village? Is that a place they can even go?
"Lord Torifu, you're not joking, are you? My wife and I can go to Konoha Village?"
Qu Feng shook his head: "Of course I'm not joking. If I say I'll take you, I will. Now it's just a matter of whether you agree or not."
"But...where will we stay after we get there? How will we survive? We'll be in a completely unfamiliar place and we won't have any money..."
Qu Feng immediately waved to the couple, saying, "Don't worry, don't worry, everything is arranged. Since you've been invited, everything has already been taken care of."
"I will arrange an apartment for you, provide some initial funding, and find you a suitable job. After that, you will have to rely on yourselves."
This was already an unbeatable treatment; the couple was already incoherent.
"Is it...really, really true?"
His wife's soft laughter brought the man back to his senses: "I...I'm sorry, Lord Qu Feng, I lost my composure."
Qu Feng stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder: "It's true. You guys go pack your things. You can leave anytime."
"You can choose to sell this house to me for more money, or you can keep it and come back to visit when the tram between Konoha and the Land of Water is completed."
