Chapter 61 - Who Actually Owns the Farm

Constructing a high-strength iron wire fence was a troublesome task.

First, trenches had to be dug, followed by pouring concrete and driving stakes.

Only after all these steps were completed, could they begin laying the iron wire mesh on the driven stakes.

It was an intricate process, and after explaining it, Chen Yang had no desire to linger.

But before Chen Yang could leave, he was surrounded by the aunties who had followed the convoy up.

“Yang Zi, what are you doing here, making such a big fuss?”

“Why are you fencing off a perfectly good forest, Yang Zi?

How much is this going to cost?”

The curious aunties encircled Chen Yang and started to question him like inquisitive children.

Chen Yang addressed their curiosity, explaining that he was preparing to start a breeding farm.

“Wow, Yang Zi, you’re planning to start a business!

You truly are our village’s college graduate, always full of ideas!” As soon as Chen Yang revealed his intentions to start a breeding farm, the aunties all gave him the thumbs up.

Although they didn’t know what breeding or entrepreneurship entailed,

they understood that starting your own business was something big bosses did, so with Chen Yang preparing to establish a breeding farm, he was essentially going to be a big boss!

“Yang Zi, don’t forget to give us aunties a hand when you get rich!

We’re happy to work for you,” they said.

While praising Chen Yang, the aunties also began to tease him, suggesting that they should forge a good relationship with him early on.

Those with daughters at home were quick to suggest an introduction to Chen Yang, hinting at a potential match.

Chen Yang just responded with a slight smile to the aunties’ teasing, saying nothing more.

Because he knew there was no malice behind their words; they were indeed well-meaning.

“Aunties, don’t worry.

Once I get rich, I’ll definitely help you get rich too!” Chen Yang replied with a smile.

“That’s right!

Yang Zi, your auntie will remember those words, just waiting at home for you to help us strike it rich!”

After joking around with Chen Yang for a while, the aunties dispersed.

They all had matters to attend to back home.

Once the villagers of Liuhe Village had left, Chen Yang took Fu, the construction team’s boss, to Weed Slope.

He described to Fu what the site should look like and the results he expected.

Fu, the boss, nodded repeatedly, “Alright, boss, I’ve got the effect you want in my head.

Don’t worry, once we finish the construction, I guarantee not a single wild chicken will escape, nor will anyone steal a wild chicken from you!”

“Great!

With your word, I’m reassured!”

Chen Yang nodded in satisfaction and then took Wu Kexin back with him.

Back at the medical clinic, Chen Yang noticed something off about Wu Kexin’s expression and asked, “What’s wrong?

You don’t look so good.”

“Chen Yang, aren’t you being a bit extravagant?

A breeding farm that’s just starting should definitely focus on saving costs!

Going straight for iron wire that costs more than thirty yuan per square meter, what if it fails?” Wu Kexin said worriedly.

Wu Kexin had overheard Chen Yang talking about the cost with Fu earlier.

When she heard that the materials cost more than thirty yuan per square meter, she felt it was unnecessarily lavish and uncalled for.

However, seeing Fu there, she held back and didn’t voice her thoughts to Chen Yang on the spot.

Now that Chen Yang asked her, she naturally shared what she was thinking.

Seeing Wu Kexin’s concerned expression, Chen Yang gave a small smile and replied, “When I started this breeding farm, I never thought I would lose!

So naturally, the materials have to be the best.

Or should we have to replace them again later?”

“Well, if it’s about the breeding farm…

Alright, since you’re confident, I’ll leave it to you,” Wu Kexin initially wanted to argue, but seeing Chen Yang’s confident face, she found herself unable to.

Because she knew she wouldn’t be able to persuade Chen Yang.

“Don’t worry, I’m definitely going to be successful!” Chen Yang said with a slap on Wu Kexin’s shoulder and a confident face.

“Yes, you’ll be successful.” Chen Yang’s confident smile was infectious, and Kexin, who had wanted to argue, eventually went along with him.

After their conversation, Wu Kexin sat in the clinic, beginning to daydream.

Chen Yang, on the other hand, went into the inner room and continued to mix the taming pellets with corn kernels.

“The construction crew will be busy around here for a while.

Just in case, I’d better go to Weed Slope and scatter some food!” Chen Yang thought to himself.

Chen Yang wasn’t sure exactly how many wild chickens lived in Weed Slope.

But Chen Yang didn’t want any of the wild chickens to escape during the construction.

Once the construction team had enclosed the entire Weed Slope, any chickens that flew out would definitely not be able to fly back, and the escape of any chicken would be a huge loss.

Moreover, it was May or June, the season when wild chickens lay eggs.

If those that got away were hens, then it would be a total disaster; the loss would not be just one or two chickens but several.

With this in mind, Chen Yang prepared another bucket of corn mixed with taming pellets to scatter at Weed Slope.

“Where are you going?” Wu Kexin asked as she watched Chen Yang carry a bucket of corn kernels to the door.

“I’m going to feed the wild chickens at Weed Slope.

I’ll be back soon,” Chen Yang replied.

“I’ll go with you,” Wu Kexin immediately stood up, wanting to go with Chen Yang.

But Chen Yang refused.

“You better stay at home.

Keep an eye on the construction crew for me.

In case something happens, you can make decisions on my behalf.”

“Hmm…

Okay.”

After thinking for a while, Wu Kexin sat down again, while Chen Yang set out with a large bucket of feed and quickly made his way to Weed Slope.

“There’s construction later; none of you move!”

“There’s construction later; none of you move!”

Like the night before, Chen Yang scattered the corn kernels while chanting like a shaman, repeating this phrase over and over.

After circling Weed Slope and finishing the feed in the bucket, Chen Yang was ready to go back.

But at that moment, Chen Yang’s phone rang.

Chen Yang had thought it might be an issue with the construction crew at home, but to his surprise, when he picked up the phone, it was Li Han calling.

“Hello, what’s up, Li Han?” Chen Yang answered the call.

“Chen Yang, do you have time to come over?

There’s an emergency situation in my hotel, and I need your help to deal with it,” Li Han said urgently over the phone.

“Okay!

I’m on my way!”

“Alright, I’ll wait for you.”

Upon hearing that Li Han was in trouble, Chen Yang immediately hung up and rushed home with the empty bucket.

As Wu Kexin was about to say something to Chen Yang, he spoke first, “Village Chief, I have an emergency and need to leave.

Please help me look after the construction crew at home!”

With that, Chen Yang quickly hopped onto the electric tricycle parked in the backyard and took off.

Wu Kexin stood there with a befuddled expression.

“What’s this about?

Am I running the farm, or is he?”

By the time Wu Kexin regained her senses, Chen Yang’s figure had disappeared.

Although she was somewhat annoyed, there was nothing she could do but stay in the clinic and watch things for Chen Yang.

Meanwhile, elsewhere.

As soon as Chen Yang rode the electric tricycle out of the village, he sped towards the county town like a bolt of lightning.

Because from the tone of Li Han’s voice on the phone, it seemed she had encountered quite a troublesome problem.
