CHAPTER 1875: CHAPTER 886: SOONER OR LATER PLANT WILD VEGETABLES

Things that come easily sometimes make people not appreciate them.

This saying fits Xu Xiaoyan quite well. In the past, when Yan Fei was lavishly giving out gifts, she didn’t say anything, but she definitely felt the pain. However, now she’s joyfully carrying a bunch of gifts around, giving them away without a trace of reluctance.

Apart from the fact those things didn’t cost money, there’s another reason—she got them from over the Border of Misfortune. Taking stuff from these two places, Xu Xiaoyan feels absolutely no pressure and gives them away generously.

As soon as Yan Fei arrived home, people there felt they had a backbone, eagerly waiting for him to handle the matter with Hu San. But he didn’t care at all, waved his hand airily: "It’s a trivial matter, let them mess around, whoever comes to catch them just do it. The guy who came is Sun Xiaowei, isn’t he? Broke in and didn’t steal anything won’t keep him locked long? Go and accuse him of frightening our cows, economic loss of five million..."

Everyone exchanged glances, thinking that’s too exaggerated, demanding five million at once. Even if you dismantle and sell all of Sun Xiaowei’s body parts, they wouldn’t be worth that much.

"Is this okay?" Even the lawless Heizi found it too absurd.

"Why not?" Yan Fei sneered lightly. "My cows need their rest at night, being startled is a big deal. If anyone claims it’s impossible, let him raise top-grade beef cattle before speaking."

Heizi simply stopped pondering, waved his hand to gather people and actually went to deal with it.

Boss Yan’s words made sense, you’re not me, how do you know if my cows getting frightened at night wouldn’t cause losses, unless you too raise world-class beef cattle like me, and prove to me your cattle aren’t afraid of being disturbed at night.

Heizi left, and Zhang Haiyang came over to report: "The cattle farm over at Huangtuwa is built, the whole village collectively invested in the construction..."

"It’s finished in just a few days?" Yan Fei remarked in surprise, thought for a moment and said. "Alright, let me know when it opens, I’ll make a trip."

With those words, Zhang Haiyang happily scurried off to work.

As soon as Zhang Haiyang left, Lin Haihu shamelessly approached: "Well, cousin, Journalist Zhang wants to interview you, do you have time? It won’t take much of your time, now that you’re a big author, you have to keep some dignity, just toss him a few words?"

Yan Fei glared at him with a dark face: "Why aren’t you in school? Promised you some benefits again?"

"Benefits and whatnot are a minor thing, now you’re our pride in Sancha River Township, a role model in Wancheng City. Appearing in the media often enhances your image and encourages the youth here to learn from you, better setting an example!" Lin Haihu continued to cling shamelessly.

Yan Fei looked up at him, staring until he squirmed uneasily. "I am genuinely thinking for you, think about it, now your novel has been adapted into a big movie, by Hollywood, everyone in the region is proud of you! At this time, if you don’t come out and say something, how inappropriate is that? Everyone wants to hear your thoughts and cares about you!"

"Stop with the nonsense." Yan Fei shook his head. "I’m puzzled, where did you learn all this spiel from?"

"I’ve already thought about it, I will also strive to learn and aim to become a good journalist in the future." Lin Haihu’s face turned serious, full of fighting spirit. "Right now, I’m learning from Brother Zhang’s experience, if my college entrance exam goes nowhere, I’ll put out some money to enter a newspaper as an intern..."

"Does your ambition start with skipping school?" Yan Fei mercilessly struck him down.

"I didn’t skip school, I just had something today and didn’t go..."

"Alright, I believe you, as long as you can fool your dad, it’s none of my business. If Zhang Kun wants to come, let him, he’s familiar anyway." Yan Fei interrupted Lin Haihu’s defense. Ever since this kid found the motivation to earn money and started earning, he’s gotten more clever. The skills he picked up from hanging out with journalists make fooling his dad hardly a problem.

Lin Haihu immediately stopped defending, happily went off to call Zhang Kun. He knew it’s no problem fooling the family, no use talking to this cousin. As long as Yan Fei didn’t pursue his truancy, he feared no one. Used to getting beaten since childhood, he wasn’t afraid of being discovered and beaten again later.

Yan Fei dealt with some chores at the farm for a while, Zhang Kun arrived, snapped a photo, and the interview was done. There’s really nothing much to say, too familiar, he knew Yan Boss’s character; as long as the report isn’t too outrageous, Yan Boss had no time to bicker with him.

Originally, after the interview, he should have gone back to deliver the article, but when he heard there was a village cattle farm opening the next day, he didn’t want to leave. After all, it counts as news, take some photos, make a casual interview, new rural development is a good topic, reporting it surely would be right.

The opening of Huangtuwa Farm is a big event, it’s the first village-level farm in Sancha River Township.

Not only did the township head come to attend the opening ceremony personally, but many people from the county also came. Everyone understood that if this farm could succeed, with a successful model, more would inevitably follow.

The farm is collective, under the leadership of Tian Dafu and with guidance from Zhang Haiyang, the villagers organized the cattle farm with contributions in money and effort from their households, it’s considered a shareholding system.
