After eating and drinking, the white fox was obviously in much better spirits. It staggered a few steps in the yard, then returned to Chen Changyuan, snuggled up to his ankle, and purred with satisfaction.

The interaction between the man and the fox made Fang Suxia smile constantly, and Old Yuantou would stroke his beard from time to time and sigh.

Chen Changyuan was even more fascinated by this snow-white little fox. He gently stroked its soft fur and thought about what name to give it.

However, this peaceful and harmonious atmosphere was soon broken.

With a bang, the gate was roughly pushed open, followed by a noisy sound of footsteps and shouting.

Chen Changyuan raised his head alertly and saw Zhou Dazhui rushing in with a few ruffians.

Before Chen Changyuan could speak, Zhou Dazhu pointed at the white fox lying at his feet and said to his men in a domineering tone:

"Catch it for me!"

Several thugs immediately rushed forward and pounced on the white fox.

Chen Changyuan was quick to pick up the white fox and hold it in his arms.

"Zhou Dazhu, what do you want to do?"

Chen Changyuan asked coldly, with anger in his eyes.

Zhou Dazhu glanced at him sideways and snorted disdainfully:

"What are you doing? Catching a fox! Can't you see it?"

"This fox is in my house now. It belongs to me. Why are you trying to steal it?"

Chen Changyuan retorted without showing any weakness.

"Yours? What a joke!"

Zhou Dazhu sneered, "I was the one who killed this fox. Look at the wound on its leg, it was me who left it!"

Chen Changyuan looked down at the wound on the white fox's hind leg, but he didn't believe Zhou Dazhu's nonsense.

This kid is idle and does not work all the time. He just does all kinds of sneaky things. Who knows what he is up to.

"You brought people to my house to beat up the fox I was holding in my arms? What proof do you have that it's yours?"

Chen Changyuan argued with reason.

"Your home? This is still half of my home!"

Zhou Dazhu spat a mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground, pointing at the wound on the white fox's hind leg and shouting.

Chen Changyuan smiled contemptuously:

"You denied it when we got married, but now you admit it now that you have something good. Even if you beat me, it's at my house now, so it's mine. What proof do you have to prove it's yours? Did you carve something on it?"

Zhou Dazhu was choked and yelled with his neck stiffened:

"What's it to you?"

"Isn't it?"

Chen Changyuan asked back, staring at Zhou Dazhu with sharp eyes.

"What does it have to do with me? I marked that patch of Polygonatum in the mountains a few days ago, and today you said in front of so many people that you found it. Isn't this just taking someone else's things for yourself?"

The old man joined in and said:

"Dazhu, you know the rules of this mountain. Whoever discovers and marks it first gets it. Changyuan worked so hard to find that patch of Huangjing land. You're just..."

When he heard the word "Huangjing", a trace of guilt flashed in Zhou Dazhu's eyes, but he quickly concealed it.

He stiffened his neck and argued:

"What's the use of marking? I didn't see it! The Polygonatum grows on the mountain. Whoever digs it up owns it!"

Chen Changyuan snorted coldly:

"So, if this white fox ran into your house today, you would still take it for yourself?"

"Of course!"

Zhou Dazhu answered without thinking, then realized that he had let the cat out of the bag and quickly changed his words.

"I was the one who killed the fox. What does it have to do with you?"

"That's nonsense!" Chen Changyuan was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. He turned around and went into the house with the white fox in his arms.

"stop!"

Zhou Dazhu stopped him and said viciously.

"Today, this fox has to be given to you, whether you want to or not!"

Chen Changyuan stopped and turned to look at him, his eyes full of warning:

"Zhou Dazhu, I advise you not to go too far! I don't want to fight you, but if you force me, don't blame me for being rude!"

The thugs behind Zhou Dazhu also started shouting:

"Boy, if you know what's good for you, hand over the fox quickly, or you'll be in big trouble!"

Chen Changyuan protected the white fox behind him with a cold look in his eyes. The thugs behind Zhou Dazhu were also rubbing their hands, eager to try, and a melee was about to break out.

At this moment, a loud voice broke the deadlock:

"What are you doing? What are you doing? You're trying to rebel in broad daylight!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw the village chief walking over with a few villagers, leaning on a cane.

The village chief has a high prestige in the village. As soon as he spoke, the thugs behind Zhou Dazhu immediately stopped and dared not shout anymore.

"Zhou Dazhu, what do you want to do now? You're just sitting around all day, stirring up trouble!"

The village chief glared at Zhou Dazhu with a stern tone.

Although Zhou Dazhu was arrogant and domineering, he did not dare to act recklessly because the village chief still had the evidence against him. He stiffened his neck and muttered:

"I...I didn't mean to do anything..."

"What are you planning to do? Look at this situation. If someone doesn't know, they'd think you're going to start a fight!"

The village chief scolded mercilessly, "Send your people away immediately!"

Zhou Dazhu waved his hand reluctantly, signaling his thugs to leave.

Although the thugs were unwilling, they did not dare to disobey the village chief's order and had to disperse in disappointment.

"Changyuan, stop making trouble."

The village chief turned to look at Chen Changyuan, and his tone softened a little, "If you have anything to say, just talk it over and don't use force."
