26: Chapter 26 Just Do It 26: Chapter 26 Just Do It After breakfast, Sister-in-law Guihua left with Kankan, while Wu Dushan was kept by Wu Xiaoyu.
He was planning to tell his cousin about raising chickens, not to get him to invest, but to help him out a bit.
This cousin was almost thirty years old, with no skills or much education, only relying on a few acres of poor land to support his family.
As the children were growing up, future expenses would certainly not be small.
The Wu family didn’t have many households in the village, and if they didn’t support each other, they might get bullied to death, just like yesterday.
If it had been just one family, no one would have spoken up even if they had been beaten to death.
“Um…
Bro, I’m planning to start a chicken farm, what do you think of this idea?” Wu Xiaoyu directly asked.
Wu Dushan looked up at Wu Xiaoyu, then turned to look at his uncle Wu Youliang, seeing their serious faces, not like they were joking.
But how could he not know his uncle’s family situation?
They were living even worse than him.
Where would they get the money to start a farm?
So he said, “I don’t know about this, but it ultimately requires a lot of upfront investment, right?
Where do you get the money?
Your brother here is also a poor man, I can’t give you much money!”
Wu Xiaoyu was afraid he misunderstood, hurriedly explained, “Bro, that’s not what I meant!
I have the money, I want you to help!”
Hearing this, Wu Dushan was even more puzzled.
Where did the money come from?
In recent years, they spent a lot on grandma’s illness and funeral, hadn’t they said they still owed loan sharks?
How come now they have money?
Wu Youliang seemed to see his confusion and said, “He found a ginseng on the mountain a few days ago and sold it in the city for more than a hundred thousand yuan!”
“Ho…
how much?” Hearing it sold for more than a hundred thousand, Wu Dushan’s heart trembled.
He had never seen so much money in his life.
One ginseng sold for more than a hundred thousand?
Then why raise chickens?
Just go into the mountains to dig ginseng!
But then he thought, ginseng is not something you can find just by looking.
Xiaoyu went into the mountains for more than two months and only found one ginseng.
While he was in a daze, Wu Xiaoyu spoke again, “It sold for 120,000.
After paying off debts, there’s still 70-80,000 left.
I want to use this money to start a chicken farm and want you to help feed the chickens.
I’ll pay you 3,000 yuan a month.
Do you think that’s okay?”
Hearing Wu Xiaoyu say he’d pay him 3,000 yuan a month, Wu Dushan immediately sobered up.
Three thousand a month, that’s not a small amount in the countryside.
This cousin clearly wanted to help him, so he said somewhat embarrassedly, “We’re family, how can I take your money as a salary!”
Though it sounded courteous and even a bit hypocritical, in the countryside, accepting without any refusal would seem too money-grubbing and disregarding family ties.
Moreover, this cousin just helped him through a crisis yesterday.
Asking for his money now indeed felt awkward.
Seeing that he didn’t directly refuse, Wu Youliang coughed and said, “Even between brothers, accounts must be clear.
If you want to help him, let him pay you a salary!”
Seeing his uncle say this, Wu Dushan stopped being polite and said, “Alright then!
If Xiaoyu starts a farm, I’ll definitely help!”
“It’s a deal then, bro, you must come and help!
I’ll get the certification from the Village Committee in the next couple of days, then go to the town to handle the procedures, and buy the nets!” Wu Xiaoyu said excitedly.
But the two men present were puzzled when they heard about buying nets.
Wu Youliang asked, “What do you need nets for?”
Wu Xiaoyu just remembered he hadn’t told them where he planned to raise chickens.
If he told them he was planning to raise chickens on the back mountain, they might think he’s crazy.
So he said, “You’ll know when the time comes!”
After his cousin left, his mother came in, slightly displeased, and said, “3,000 a month, you’re too generous!
I’d work for you instead!
Just pay me 2,000!”
“What do you know, as a woman!” His father scolded with a stern face, though he also thought 3,000 a month seemed a bit high.
But thinking the recipient was his nephew made him feel better.
At least it wasn’t going into a stranger’s pocket.
Though Wu Xiaoyu had prepared to raise chickens on the back mountain, he hadn’t been there since coming back from the city.
After informing his parents, he habitually carried his medicine basket and knife and headed to the back mountain.
This ‘poor mountain’ was going to lay golden eggs for him.
Thinking this, he felt a surge of joy and satisfaction at the thought of conquering nature.
The story of Wu Xiaoyu breaking bricks with his head last night had spread throughout the village through numerous women.
As soon as he stepped out, several women stared at him like he was a monster.
Boys with the surname Niu who met him on the road even avoided him as if he were a beast.
It seemed that after last night, his status in the village had subtly improved.
In the past, these women would always try to take advantage of him, and the young men of the Niu family would act arrogantly, but today they all became like turtles hiding in their shells.
Maybe this is the allure of power!
The reason people pursue strength is to make enemies fear and strangers respect.
With excitement, Wu Xiaoyu came back to the lucky mountain that had given him infinite strength.
Following the familiar path, he climbed up a hundred meters high and stopped.
He wanted to raise chickens on the back mountain, at an elevation of about a hundred meters.
Any higher, and the foliage would be too dense, making it hard to secure with nets.
If the chickens escaped, it would be a joke!
This area, a hundred meters high, had sparse vegetation because people often came for firewood.
There were only some big trees and grass, with few wild beasts, or the village would have been invaded by beasts long ago.
In fact, to some extent, this mountain was quite suitable for growing herbs; otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many types of Chinese herbal medicine in the forest.
But he knew nothing about managing medicinal herbs, and many valuable herbs took too long to grow.
It was far quicker to make money through farming with the help of the Spiritual Spring.
Once he accumulated some capital, he might really move various herbs from the Immortal Realm Farm to this back mountain.
By then, he’d engage in both farming and planting, surely transforming this poor mountain village!
