Overbearing Immortal Doctor
Chapter 36 - 36 316 Not Even a Door

36: Chapter 316: Not Even a Door 36: Chapter 316: Not Even a Door The matter of Wu Xiaoyu wanting to raise chickens in the back mountain quickly spread throughout the whole village, and everyone thought he was a fool.

Many people believed that after he dug up a piece of ginseng and made some money, he became blindly arrogant and somewhat lost his bearings.

Near dusk, Wu Xiaoyu was in his room calculating the length of the net needed for thirty acres of mountain forest when his mother, Wang Aifeng, suddenly pushed the door open and entered.

“You spendthrift!

Made some money and now you don’t recognize who you are anymore?

Raising chickens in the back mountain?

How could you even think of that?

Are you raising chickens or feeding wolves?

…”

Just as Wu Xiaoyu was about to retort, his father Wu Youliang also walked in and asked, “Xiaoyu, are you really going to raise chickens in the back mountain?”

“Yes!

The contract is already signed!” Wu Xiaoyu replied, but Wang Aifeng hurriedly pulled him up and scolded:

“Are you an idiot?

Such a big matter, and you didn’t discuss it with us, just decided on your own?

Are we nothing to you, go with me to the village chief’s house immediately, we are canceling the contract!”

Wu Xiaoyu had to put down his work and said, “Dad, Mom!

Do you really think I’m stupid?

I often go into the mountains, don’t you think I know there are wild animals in the back mountain?

Since I decided to raise chickens there, I obviously have my own plan, don’t worry!”

“Don’t worry?

How can we not worry?

You are just throwing money away!” Wang Aifeng still angrily scolded.

Father Wu Youliang, believing his son had his own plan, stopped Wang Aifeng and asked, “Xiaoyu, are you confident doing this?”

“Yes!”

Hearing his son say this, Wu Youliang then pulled his wife out, trusting that their son wouldn’t do something reckless.

A child who took on family responsibilities from a young age, who had twelve thousand but didn’t squander it, could he be someone who didn’t know the weight of matters?

Although his mother was pulled out, she still didn’t give up and started arguing with his father.

This was the first time in his twenty years that Wu Xiaoyu saw his mother argue with his father.

Just as he was about to advise them in the main hall, he heard the voice of his uncle Wu Youhai, “Youliang…

Youliang…

Are you home?”

The two immediately stopped arguing.

The uncle walked in, saw Wu Xiaoyu, and without another word, began to reprimand him, “What’s the matter with you?

Can’t you see if it’s suitable to raise chickens in the back hill?”

“Why do you think Niu Mansheng so easily contracted the land to you?

Because he knew you couldn’t raise chickens there!

How could you be so foolish and fall into his trap?

If you really want to raise chickens, I could even offer my land to you!”

Uncle’s sincere words made Wu Xiaoyu feel quite touched, but he couldn’t explain the whole reason to them, so he just said, “You watched me grow up.

Do you think I’m the kind of person who does foolish things?”

These words made Wu Youhai speechless because he knew Wu Xiaoyu’s character.

Although a bit stubborn, he rarely did foolish things.

Could there be some hidden reason?

As Wu Xiaoyu was trying to console his family, his cousin Wu Dashan came rushing over, breathlessly saying, “Not good…

not good, villagers are coming…

coming to your house…”

His flustered appearance suggested something terrible had happened.

Wu Youliang waited for him to catch his breath before asking, “Dashan, what’s going on?

What are the villagers coming to our house for?”

“They all say…

Xiaoyu found many ginseng in the back mountain, and fearing the villagers would fight him for them, he contracted the back mountain and prohibited villagers from going up there.

He wants…

he wants to monopolize those ginseng!” Wu Dashan explained.

Just after saying this, Uncle Wu Youhai’s expression subtly changed.

Monopolize ginseng?

Was that really his motive for contracting the back mountain?

Even his own family got deceived?

Wu Xiaoyu couldn’t care less about his uncle’s changing expression.

He clearly sensed a plot in this rumor, and for sure it was the village head Niu Mansheng’s doing!

Damn him for playing dirty tricks on me!

Wu Youliang naturally knew that his son wasn’t a selfish person.

Hearing this, he became furious and shouted, “Who the hell is spewing this nonsense, I’ll kill them!”

As he said this, he grabbed a butcher knife and rushed out.

Wu Xiaoyu and others hurriedly followed, trying to stop him, but as soon as they reached the street entrance, they were taken aback.

Under the crimson sunset, a large crowd stood there, heads densely packed; families Niu, Liu, Wu, Ma were all there, even the small household Li’s came with three to five people.

These people just stood there silently, not speaking or moving, resembling zombies from a movie, creating a stifling atmosphere.

If an outsider came to Daxin Village now, they would be scared to death by this scene.

Seeing this, Wu Youliang quickly threw the butcher knife back inside.

“Fellow villagers, what’s going on?” Wu Youliang spoke, but there was still silence below.

No one wanted to speak first, this kind of job should be taken by the bold one.

“Say something, will you?

Standing at our door like mute, what’s this supposed to be?” Mother Wang Aifeng also spoke up.

At this point, a bald man with a face full of wrinkles emerged from the crowd and spoke in a sarcastic tone, “Your Xiaoyu is quite capable!

Making loads of money without a word!”

Wang Aifeng, hearing the jealousy in his words, disdainfully replied, “Niu Manyou, stop talking nonsense.

How does our money concern you?

If you’re so capable, go dig for ginseng and sell it too!”

Her words immediately sparked a wave of complaints from the crowd.

“Go dig for ginseng?

Hmph!

Where are we supposed to dig?”

“Exactly, the back mountain is contracted by your son!

How can we go up there, your family really has a good plan!”

“Raising chickens?

I think it’s more like raising monkeys!

Only monkeys are smart enough to match your son’s intelligence!”

“…”

The villagers’ words became increasingly harsh, each acting as if they had suffered greatly, making Wu Xiaoyu feel like he was a heinous criminal!

Seeing the momentum growing, if he didn’t explain things quickly, they might gang up on him.

Wu Xiaoyu had to hit their iron gate hard a few times.

‘Bang…

bang…’ The deafening noise made the villagers quiet down, wanting to hear what he had to say.

Seeing them quiet down, Wu Xiaoyu began to explain, “Whoever told you I found a large amount of ginseng in the mountains?

That person is either a fool or born from a pig!”

“Think about it, did you find anything in the mountains these past few days?

If there were really ginseng in the mountains, you all would have discovered it long ago, right?

How would it have ended up contracted by me for slow extraction?”

These people were driven by poverty and the desire for money, believing some villain’s lies without thinking.

Of course, part of this was also Wu Xiaoyu’s fault.

After all, no normal person would think of raising chickens in the back mountain.

Then what was Wu Xiaoyu’s real motive?

They could only think it must be for ginseng!

Although Wu Xiaoyu’s words were reasonable, they still doubted, “If it’s not for ginseng, why are you raising chickens in the back mountain?”

“Yeah, why?

A wolf recently appeared in the mountains, if it’s not for ginseng, are you raising wolves?”

Sharp questions were continuously thrown at Wu Xiaoyu.

He really wanted to tell them that the wolf in the mountains was his younger brother but would be considered crazy by them.

Damn old man, trying to set me up?

Think you can easily thwart my plan?

No way!
