On the way to Chu Family Farm.

Chu Xiao drove to the village entrance and saw Old Man Chen standing anxiously under the big locust tree.

Old Chen was the first household in the village and the only elderly person to support his grandfather in running the farm back then.

Their relationship with the Chu family is fairly good.

Upon seeing Chu Xiao's car, he immediately ran up, crushing a cigarette butt in his hand.

"You're finally back, Xiao Xiao! How come you're raising so many cattle and sheep on the farm without reporting it to the village?"

Chu Xiao stuffed the cheap cigarettes he had bought on the spur of the moment into his arms.

"Uncle Chen, what's the situation now? Have all my cattle and sheep been found?"

Uncle Chen was slightly taken aback when he saw the whole row of Chinese cigarettes.

Just as he was about to say something polite, Chu Xiao forcibly stuffed him back into his arms.

"Mr. Chen, I treat you like my own grandfather, so please don't be shy about this little something."

Uncle Chen could only reluctantly stuff the cigarette into his pocket and sighed, "Xiao Chu, I only contacted you because I treat you like my own grandson."

"Although most of your cattle and sheep have been recovered, they trampled on the land of several households in the village."

"Besides Old Wang's strawberry field, there are also Sun's peanuts and Nian's orchard."

"Those three families are waiting for you at the village committee, and none of them are easy to deal with. You'd better be careful!"

Chu Xiao didn't follow his words, but asked as they walked towards the farm, "Uncle Chen, have you been staying in the village these past few days?"

"Yes, I've been there the whole time, otherwise how would I know all this?"

Has Wang Shouxin left the village recently?

"No, his farmhouse restaurant is having some kind of promotion, but business is booming lately. People are buying up his local pork and cured meat like crazy. He can't possibly leave."

Chu Xiao opened the farm gate and saw that nearly half of the cattle and sheep were missing. Suddenly realizing something, he sneered, "Fine, then could you help me call everyone from the village to the farm?"

"Why are you calling everyone to the farm?" Uncle Chen asked, puzzled.

Logically speaking, it's best to resolve this privately to avoid a fight where Chu Xiao would suffer the loss alone.

Chu Xiao smiled.

"Go and call some people for me. I have some good news to tell everyone."

Is there more good news?

Uncle Chen looked suspicious, but out of respect for Hua Zi, he didn't ask any more questions and quickly ran downstairs.

Chu Xiao waited until he left, then went up to the mountainside alone.

Seeing the several sections of barbed wire that had been snapped shut, he became even more certain of his suspicions.

Wang Shouxin did all of this!

Since that's the case, then don't blame him for being ruthless.

Turning around and walking towards the village committee, I could see a group of old men holding hammers and carrying poles crowded at the entrance.

The old men, their faces full of indignation, cursed and swore at the village head:

“Village chief, Old Master Chu has been dead for several years now. Why haven’t you taken the farm back yet? You’re letting that spoiled brat destroy all our crops.”

"That's right, not only are we wasting resources, but who are we supposed to ask for compensation for this loss?"

"Yes, the New Year is just around the corner. You need to give us an explanation, or we're not done yet!"

"Yes! Call the police to arrest Chu Xiao, arrest that spoiled brat..."

Once someone spoke up, others echoed their sentiments.

The commotion shook the entire village committee, leaving the village head sweating profusely.

"Don't panic, everyone, don't panic!"

"I've already found Chu Xiao's phone number and I'm contacting him. You can talk to him when he arrives, okay?"

Upon hearing this, someone couldn't wait to shout:

"What are you talking about? Just demolish the Chu family farm!"

"Yes! Smash the Chu family farm, divide up the cattle and sheep, and use that to make up for our losses!"
