52: After modification: Chapter 52 Jealousy 52: After modification: Chapter 52 Jealousy Wu Xiaoyu’s purchase of chicks and the fact that they were put on the mountain had already spread throughout the entire village.

The villagers initially thought that Wu Xiaoyu must have some hidden agenda for contracting the back mountain to raise chickens, but now it seemed that he was just being foolish.

Niu Mansheng had already had dinner, but when he saw that Wu Xiaoyu had bought chicks, he asked his wife to fry a few more dishes and then opened a bottle of Lao Cunzhuang to drink by himself.

Niu Dachun saw this and sat down, eating and complaining, “Is Wu Xiaoyu your son?

Even Wu Youliang isn’t as happy as you!”

Niu Mansheng didn’t care.

After drinking some wine, he hummed a little tune, which made Niu Dachun even angrier.

His old man must be crazy to be happy for someone else!

Not long after, there was a knock at Niu Dachun’s door.

When they opened the door, it was Niu Mangui, who had been tricked by Wu Xiaoyu the other night.

He sighed and said:

“Brother, I heard that Wu Dushan is going to raise chickens with Wu Xiaoyu and that there’s a monthly salary of three thousand yuan.

Why did you contract that land to him?”

Niu Mansheng put down his wine glass, glanced at him, and scolded, “You idiot!

Can he really raise those chickens?

Especially on the back mountain!

Forget about chicken plague, even the wild beasts on the mountain can make him lose everything!”

Despite what he said, people’s jealousy wouldn’t let them see it that way.

What Niu Mangui envied was the three thousand yuan monthly salary that Wu Dushan would earn.

“Brother, why don’t you raise chickens too?

I’ll work for you, and you can pay me two thousand a month!” Niu Mangui suggested.

Niu Dachun, already dissatisfied with Wu Xiaoyu raising chickens, immediately agreed when his cousin suggested it, “Exactly!

After all, you’re the village chief.

How can you let him take the lead on this?”

“You see how much attention he’s attracted in the village these days.

He’s about to overshadow you as village chief.

Before long, he might even take your place!”

Niu Mansheng was not happy to hear this.

He threw his cup and cursed, “Bullshit!

Who dares compete with me for village chief?

Not even Wu Xiaoyu or his father could take it from me when they were young!”

“That’s all because Wu Youliang works in town and can’t stay in the village.

If he actually competed with you, who knows who the village chief would be?” Knowing the inside scoop, Niu Mangui couldn’t help but mock.

Since Niu Dachun could remember, his father had always been the village chief and hadn’t been replaced all these years.

Hearing Niu Mangui’s disclosure, he became curious and quickly asked:

“Was my dad’s position as village chief given up by someone else?

I’ve never heard of that before.

Uncle, tell me more!”

Their conversation made Niu Mansheng feel a lump in his throat.

How could he let his hard-earned reputation be ruined?

He stood up and kicked Niu Mangui, cursing:

“Bullshit!

I’ve been chosen by the whole village.

If Wu Youliang was capable, why hasn’t he been chosen all these years?”

Niu Dachun’s mother came in and saw that they hadn’t talked much before they started cursing.

She frowned and said, “You act all tough at home, but if you have the guts, go outshine Wu Xiaoyu!”

Seeing that Wu Xiaoyu was about to lose a lot of money made Niu Mansheng very happy.

However, his entire family opposed him and deliberately provoked him, even questioning his authority as village chief.

For someone who had sat firmly in the village chief’s position for many years, this was unacceptable.

Unconsciously, he held Wu Xiaoyu accountable for all of this.

Just wait and see, he wouldn’t have many days left to enjoy.

Just as he was about to kick Niu Mangui out, another relative, Niu Manyou, came in and said, “Something’s wrong!

Wu Xiaoyu really bought the chicks!”

Before the village chief could respond, Niu Mangui retorted, “Who doesn’t know that?

Do you really need to come all this way to tell us?

I also heard that Wu Dushan is working at the chicken farm for three thousand yuan a month!”

Niu Manyou, seeing his cousin’s sarcastic tone, replied impatiently, “Three thousand yuan is nothing.

If Wu Xiaoyu really raises chickens on the back mountain, it’ll be hard for everyone to go into the mountain.

By then, all the ginseng in the mountain will be dug up by him!”

Oh my goodness!

Do you still believe there’s ginseng on the back mountain?

The whole village has been digging for days, and have they found anything?

But Niu Mansheng wouldn’t burst his cousin’s bubble.

After all, this belief could benefit him.

Maybe in the future, he could use this as an excuse to blindside Wu Xiaoyu.

Niu Dachun, envious of Wu Xiaoyu for finding ginseng, hadn’t gone to the mountain even once.

Hearing his uncle’s words, he became somewhat curious and asked, “Uncle, have you really not found a single ginseng after digging for so many days?”

“People say ginseng has legs and will run.

You need to tie it with a red string.

I’ve been learning how to tie a red string these days!” Niu Manyou said mysteriously.

Niu Mansheng saw how obsessed he was and didn’t expose him.

Instead, he said, “Don’t worry.

The ginseng in the mountain belongs to everyone!

Wu Xiaoyu won’t be able to raise those chickens for long!”

Niu Dachun became interested and quickly asked, “Dad, why not?

I saw a fully loaded truck.

How come it won’t last?”

“Hmph!

Just wait and see.

The Wu family boy is biting off more than he can chew.

If not, why would I so readily agree to let him contract the back mountain?”

Niu Mangui, tired of these old arguments, interrupted, “Brother, stop talking about wild beasts in the mountain.

They’ve put up nets.

The wild beasts can’t get in so easily!”

“Who said it all depends on wild beasts?

You pig-headed fools!

Can’t you think outside the box?

Go home, I’ll deal with it tomorrow!” Niu Mansheng issued the eviction order.

He had already made up his mind.

If he couldn’t depend on wild beasts, he would resort to other means.

On this earth, there weren’t only natural disasters but also human-made calamities!

Early the next morning, Niu Mansheng put on lightweight clothes and went out, pretending to exercise.

He walked all the way to the back mountain and swaggered to Wu Xiaoyu’s chicken farm.

He saw that the nets were tight and neatly in place.

The chickens inside were already moving around.

There were no signs of damage or any traces of blood.

Damn!

Have the mountain beasts turned vegetarian?

Do I have to take matters into my own hands?

Seriously!

Niu Mansheng left the mountain disappointed and just as he reached the foot, he encountered Wu Dushan.

The two had had an argument a few days ago, and Wu Dushan made a scene at Niu Mansheng’s house.

Naturally, neither greeted the other.

Wu Dushan knew this old fellow was up to no good, especially since it was early in the morning, so he quickly ran up the mountain and checked around the nets to see if they were damaged.
