These men, still not quite convinced of their mistake after leaving the store, hid in a nearby alley, determined to find out who had gotten them the short end of the stick.

As a result, they saw Sheng Xiping and his two companions come out of a store and get directly into the only private car in Songjianghe.

The group gasped in fright, a sense of dread washing over them. If the other party had actually been injured by them, they would all be doomed.

"From now on, be more careful not to offend someone you can't afford to mess with." The man, furious, flicked his sleeve and left.

"Brother, brother, don't go! My arm!" The skinny guy and the others hurriedly followed.

When Sheng Xiping and the others left the Zhou family, Wang Chunxiu repeatedly told them to go back for lunch, so it was naturally inappropriate not to.

So Sheng Xiping drove directly to the Zhou family's house. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he smelled the aroma of food. Needless to say, it must be Wang Chunxiu cooking at home.

"Oh dear, in-law, why are you making so many dishes? Just make something to eat."

As soon as Zhang Shuzhen entered the room, she saw a lot of meat and vegetables on the stove and cutting board, and steam was rising from the pots in the east and west rooms.

It's obvious at a glance that Wang Chunxiu prepared a lot of food.

"Oh, you're back so soon? Come on in and have a seat. I'll have two more dishes ready."

"Old Zhou, hurry up! My in-laws, Xiping, and our daughter are back!" Wang Chunxiu called out into the house.

Zhou Mingyuan came out from the inner room and greeted Zhang Shuzhen and the others with a smile, "In-laws, Xiping, please come in and sit down."

Zhang Shuzhen and her son went inside and sat down, while Zhou Qinglan washed her hands and helped her mother cook.

Zhou Mingyuan took the teapot, poured tea for both of them, and chatted with them with a smile.

"Xiping, what happened? I just heard your mother say that a leopard went into the farm and killed a lot of deer? What about the leopard? Have you found it yet?"

"Yeah, it killed six deer and even carried away a half-grown one."

"Later, my older brothers and I went into the mountains to look for him, but when we found him, the tiger from our house had killed him," Sheng Xiping answered truthfully.

These days, the only thing prohibited is hunting tigers; the Amur leopard is excluded, so there's nothing to hide about it.

“Oh, oh, it’s good that you killed it. These things hold grudges the most. If you don’t kill it, I’m afraid it will get used to running around and keep thinking about finding that breeding farm.” Zhou Mingyuan nodded.

"Doesn't the farm keep a few dogs? If there are dogs, even if wild animals go in, they'll make a sound."

“Dad, we can’t keep dogs on the farm. The deer and musk deer are timid, and the barking of dogs will easily frighten them,” Sheng Xiping quickly explained.

“I’m thinking that after spring arrives, I’ll put up a wire mesh fence around the farm and turn it on at night. That way, if any wild animals dare to come near, they’ll get electrocuted.”
