Chapitre 217: Chapter 212 Disaster Arises, Insect Master Thrives_1

"You, village chief, work harder than anyone else! You rented eighty mu of land from the Yan Family, didn't you?"

"Heh heh, how can I compare to you! I've got a whole family with mouths waiting to be fed; if I don't work for a day, I start getting anxious. You're different, with your iron rice bowl, drawing a government salary every month."

Although Xu Zhenchang seemed to be playing the sympathy card somewhat intentionally, what he said was also logical.

A farmer's economic income relies entirely on working the land; without work, where would the money come from?

Insect Masters are a different story entirely.

Even a low-ranking Insect Master gets a fixed salary every month. It's equivalent to being on the public grain ration.

Even if Qin Niu didn't farm, he'd still have food to eat and live much more comfortably than the vast majority of farmers.
