Chapter 72 - 72 72 Brothers of the Same Family

72: Chapter 72: Brothers of the Same Family 72: Chapter 72: Brothers of the Same Family Upon hearing that he was leaving, Wu Xiaoyu quickly stood up and said, “Uncle, we were just getting into the good part, why do you have to leave?

Tell me more about the old days!”

“We can chat another day, I should get going now!” Liu Chuanfang said with a smile, then turned to Wu Youliang and shouted, “Youliang, I’m heading out first!”

Wu Youliang responded while escorting Liu Chuanfang out, but Wu Xiaoyu felt a bit disappointed.

Why did Uncle Chuanfang leave so suddenly?

If he directly asked his father about these unspeakable matters, would his father even talk to him?

After all, in his nearly twenty years of life, his father had never mentioned such things to him!

After seeing Liu Caicai out, Zhang Yousheng returned indoors and, seeing his son’s hesitant look, helplessly shook his head and said, “Did you have something you wanted to ask Uncle Caicai earlier?”

Zhang Dadan was a bit taken aback, it seemed his father had already guessed his doubts.

He decided to ask directly, “Dad!

Did you also use to do this kind of ghost-expelling work?

And…

that butcher knife you gave me seems quite powerful, what’s its story?”

Zhang Yousheng sat down and said, “I did indeed do such work before!

As for that butcher knife, haven’t I told you?

It’s an heirloom, it has slaughtered no fewer than a thousand livestock!”

A butcher knife that has slaughtered over a thousand livestock?

No wonder that ghost was so frightened last night.

Since his father had laid everything out, Zhang Dadan felt less worried and continued asking:

“Then why did you stop catching ghosts after you got fired from the slaughterhouse?”

Hearing this, Zhang Yousheng’s face showed a hint of bitterness.

He then sternly said to Zhang Dadan, “Dadan!

Let me tell you, never do such things again, just stick to raising your chickens honestly!”

“Why?

I think it’s quite thrilling!” Zhang Dadan blurted out but immediately regretted it under his father’s stern gaze.

“Thrilling?

It’s so thrilling that your old man has been coughing for over a decade!” Zhang Yousheng said harshly.

This made Zhang Dadan even more puzzled.

Wasn’t his father’s injury from fighting with people at the slaughterhouse?

How was it related to these unspeakable matters?

Zhang Yousheng coughed and continued, “Do you think those guys at the slaughterhouse could beat your dad like this?

If it weren’t for those things, how could I be so badly injured?”

“Let me tell you, don’t get complacent just because you expelled a little ghost last night!

If you run into a slightly fiercer ghost, you’d lose your life!”

His father’s injury was related to these ghosts!

Recalling the female ghost he encountered at Ma Wenwen’s house, Zhang Dadan couldn’t help but feel his hair stand on end.

The only reason he had subdued that ghost was because of the Jade Token on his chest.

If it had been just him, he might have been injured too.

Clearly, the danger involved was far beyond what he had seen or known.

Taking a deep breath, he said to his father, “Dad!

Don’t worry!

I won’t meddle in such matters anymore!”

Understanding his son to be a man of his word, Zhang Yousheng felt relieved and his expression softened, “Realizing the danger is good!

Now with the chickens in this farm growing so well, and with their meat quality being much better than a typical farm chicken, we won’t have any trouble selling them!

If you manage this chicken farm business well, it’s better than anything else!”

Upon hearing his father’s advice and recalling the dangers of that day, Wu Xiaoyu increasingly felt that exorcism was not something to do lightly, at least not until he was well-practiced.

The Spiritual Spring Water in the Jade Token alone was enough to make him live a wealthy, even luxurious life.

Why risk his life for some quick money?

While promising his father not to act recklessly, his mother entered with the meal ready, chastising, “Help others like that again, and see if I don’t break your legs!”

“Do you know what kind of food you grew up on?

Do you know what you can and can’t do?

Can’t you distinguish between them?”

Before Wu Xiaoyu could retort, his father, Wu Youliang, reassured her, “I’ve already talked to him!

He promised me he wouldn’t do such things anymore, rest assured!”

As his mother was about to continue, Wu Xiaoyu quickly changed the subject, “Mom, is the meal ready?

I walked for so long, I’m starving!”

“It’s ready!

Let’s eat first.

If you have more to say, we can talk while we eat!” his father suggested, taking the opportunity to pull her to the table.

Of course, his mother wasn’t finished and, after setting the dishes, she began again, “Dadan!

You must never do such things again, do you hear me?”

“Even if our family is poor, we can’t rely on that to make a living!

Besides, the farm chickens you raised on the mountain are doing so well, they’ll surely sell well, why bother with such risky stuff?”

Wu Xiaoyu knew his mother meant well, though a bit nagging, he had to nod repeatedly in agreement.

After the lengthy lunch, Wu Xiaoyu quickly excused himself to the chicken farm at the back mountain, where he was surprised and worried by what he saw.

Five or six of his cousins were bustling about, mixing feed, hauling water, feeding chickens, all in a busy scene.

Seeing him, they put down their work and gathered around, all in high spirits, which made Wu Xiaoyu uncomfortable.

“What’s going on?

What happened?” Wu Xiaoyu asked Wu Dashan, who was in charge of feeding.

Wu Dashan looked troubled and hesitated, “Xiaoyu, it’s not me…

Daqing and the others insisted on helping feed the chickens…

I…

I don’t know what they’re up to either!”

Seeing Wu Dashan’s confused look, he understood that Dashan was also clueless.

Before Wu Xiaoyu could ask further, a dark-faced man squeezed out of the crowd, smiling, “Look at your chicken farm, it’s been opened for so long, and we haven’t been able to help.”

“It’s all thanks to Dashan supporting you, we feel bad about it, so we wanted to help him out!

It’s not that Dashan wanted to slack, don’t accuse him of that!”

With his cousin’s words, Wu Xiaoyu realized their motives.

They hadn’t finished elementary school, had no skills, and couldn’t find work, surviving on just a few acres of poor land.

Seeing Wu Dashan earning some wages from feeding chickens for him, they had such ideas, which was quite normal.

Even though the current chicken feeding task, managed by Wu Dashan alone, was already strenuous and he often helped out too.

But even so, given the current scale of the chicken farm, five people were definitely unnecessary, and choosing who to keep and who to send away would be a huge headache, so he explained:
