51: After the modification: Chapter 51 Quite Rewarding 51: After the modification: Chapter 51 Quite Rewarding After being pestered by the Chicken Farm Director for a while, Wu Xiaoyu finally got away and headed to the county.
His sister doesn’t get out of school until three-thirty, and it’s still early.
But Zhou Dong was confined at home by his father to study, so naturally, he couldn’t go bother him again and could only wander aimlessly around the town.
Jiacheng County is vast and rich in resources, and its geographical position is unique, which makes its commerce particularly developed.
Logically speaking, Daxin Village, which belongs to Jiacheng County, shouldn’t be this poor.
However, since it is located in the mountains, information is not well circulated, and the villagers lack the courage to engage in commerce, leading to a situation where they remain poor despite annual poverty alleviation efforts.
Even someone who considers themselves well-versed like Wu Xiaoyu wouldn’t have easily decided to go into farming if it weren’t for that Immortal Realm Farm and the Spiritual Spring within it.
Looking at the prosperity of the town and thinking about the desolation of the mountain village further strengthened Wu Xiaoyu’s resolve to lead the entire village out of poverty and into wealth.
Before he realized it, it was already three o’clock in the afternoon.
Wu Xiaoyu quickly gathered his thoughts and headed to the County First High School to meet his sister after school.
Before he even got close to the school gate, he saw rows of parked vehicles along the road: Audis, BMWs, Mercedes-Benz—all kinds and models were there, a truly impressive sight.
The school gate was already crowded with parents waiting for their children to be dismissed.
Sometimes, Wu Xiaoyu wondered how these students find their parents in such a throng.
Wu Xiaoyu sent a text message to Wu Xiaowen, saying there were too many people at the school gate; he would wait for her at the stationery store nearby.
He squatted alone in a corner for over thirty minutes before he saw his sister walking over with a yellowed backpack.
Wu Xiaoyu quickly approached her and took the backpack from her shoulders.
“Have you been waiting long?” Wu Xiaowen asked.
“No matter how long it takes, I have to wait!
After all, you are my sister,” Wu Xiaoyu said as they walked.
Wu Xiaowen hesitated and then asked, “Brother, can you really catch ghosts and exorcise evil?”
Wu Xiaoyu was afraid she would overthink things and even more afraid she would get scared.
He said:
“What ghosts or evil!
Kids shouldn’t talk about such things!
Don’t mention it again, got it?”
Wu Xiaowen pouted and said, “Got it!”
“And don’t tell Mom and Dad about it, okay?” Wu Xiaoyu continued to remind her.
“Got it!”
After walking for a while, Wu Xiaowen noticed they weren’t heading towards the bus station.
She laughed and said, “Brother, how long has it been since you came to the school?
You took the wrong way; we should have turned north at the fork back there!”
Wu Xiaoyu flagged down a taxi, opened the door, and motioned for her to get in.
“Who said we were going to the bus station?” he said.
Taking a taxi home?
That would cost quite a bit!
Though her brother sold ginseng and made tens of thousands, money shouldn’t be spent like this.
Just as Wu Xiaowen was about to persuade him otherwise, he forced her into the back seat.
“Driver, to Xianghua Chicken Farm in the north suburb,” Wu Xiaoyu said.
“Alright!” The driver quickly started the car as if afraid he might change his mind.
In the presence of a stranger, Wu Xiaowen couldn’t ask him any questions.
In less than twenty minutes, the car stopped at the chicken farm’s entrance.
As soon as she got out of the car, Wu Xiaowen couldn’t help but ask, “Brother, why are we here?”
“To buy chicks!” Wu Xiaoyu responded.
Before Wu Xiaowen could ask more, the Chicken Farm Director came out, smiled, and said, “Brother Wu, the chicks are already loaded and ready to go!”
Just then, a truck loaded with half-grown chicks drove out of the farm.
Wu Xiaowen was dumbfounded by the sight.
Why buy so many chicks?
Does her brother plan to raise chickens?
He’d never done it before; could he manage it?
Wu Xiaoyu exchanged a few pleasantries with the both loathsome yet lovely Director before opening the truck’s cab, pulling his sister inside.
He then instructed the driver to head straight to Daxin Village.
Just as the truck set off, the director cursed under his breath, “Dog riding on human’s power!”
During the journey, Wu Xiaowen bombarded him with questions, fearing he’d mess up and cause a loss.
Wu Xiaoyu couldn’t tell her it was a guaranteed profitable deal, so he let her nag.
They reached Longhe Town around six o’clock when it was still quite bright.
Wu Xiaoyu still told the driver to drive slowly.
The road to Daxin Village was bumpy and rugged.
If the truck went too fast, many chicks in the back might die.
The truck slowly made its way to Daxin Village.
As soon as they entered, they saw his father, Wu Youliang, and his cousin, Wu Dashan, waiting, along with many onlookers by the street.
Wu Xiaoyu asked Wu Xiaowen to get off in the village while he and the driver carefully navigated the truck to the back mountain with the two men following hurriedly behind.
Although the villagers were curious, few followed because rural folks can’t stand by idly; seeing others working means they have to help.
By the time the moon hung high, Wu Youliang and Wu Dashan had finished setting up the wires and light bulbs; otherwise, it would be hard to enter the mountain forest.
Wu Xiaoyu’s family, along with a few clan members, worked for nearly an hour before moving all the chicks into the fenced coop.
The driver, though doing a regular job for the chicken farm, was given 200 RMB by Wu Xiaoyu as a tip.
If his mother, Wang Aifeng, saw this, she would undoubtedly nag about it.
After seeing the driver off, Wu Xiaoyu took his cousin up the mountain.
Despite the chicks looking a bit listless from the bumpy ride, overall, they seemed fine with only a few dead ones.
“Brother, from now on, fetching water and feeding the chickens will be hard work for you,” Wu Xiaoyu said under the light.
Wu Dashan, excited to see so many chickens, didn’t find it troublesome.
He laughed and said, “How much would these chickens be worth if sold?”
Wu Xiaoyu knew his words, though happy for him, carried a hint of envy.
After all, who wouldn’t want to start such a venture?
But how many have the capital and courage?
“Brother, if this batch of chickens sells well, you should also start a chicken farm.
Then both of us can make it big!” laughed Wu Xiaoyu.
Such an idea Wu Dashan didn’t dare to think of.
Him, owning a chicken farm?
No way!
“I don’t have the capability.
I’m content to follow your lead and earn some living,” Wu Dashan modestly said.
After more chatting, Wu Xiaoyu sent his cousin home, turned off the lights, and ventured deeper into the mountains.
He was going to find that wolf—uh, no, Dog—to stand guard.
He didn’t want to stay on the mountain alone at night.
A majestic wolf was to start its duty as a watchdog.
Whether it was lucky or unfortunate, who knew!
