In years of famine and drought, their village even rejected fatty meat.

Chapter 131 I hope so

After the villagers left, Chen Dao came to the backyard and said to Chen Lian and the others who had just finished feeding the chickens, "Sister Lian, why are you still here? Hurry up and go home!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Lian and the others realized that the sun was about to set, and if they didn't go back soon, it would probably get dark.

"Brother Dao, let's go now."

Chen Lian and the others dared not delay, hurriedly put down their work, said goodbye to Chen Dao, and left hand in hand.

After they left, Chen Dao took out the medicinal herbs he had just bought that day and began feeding the chickens, ducks, rhubarb, yellow cat, and little round cat with the advanced medicinal herbs.

Chen Dao definitely wants to upgrade all 30 Ruddy Shelducks, because although Ruddy Shelducks produce a lot of meat, their reproductive ability is average. At least so far, Ruddy Shelducks have not been able to successfully hatch new ducklings. Only by raising them into white-feathered ducks can they reproduce stably and quickly, just like yellow-feathered chickens, and rapidly increase the number of ducks.

As for raising chickens, Chen Dao did not intend to raise too many Ironfeather Chickens, because he only bought 7 cockscomb flowers this time, which could only raise one Ironfeather Chicken.

After feeding the animals the herbs he had bought, Chen Dao returned to the kitchen and had dinner with everyone.

There were still quite a few guests at home for dinner today, including Chen Dao and his family of three, Ding Xiaohua and her daughter, Chen Da and his family, and Chen Cheng and others.

Besides plenty of steamed buns, there was also a large bowl of egg drop soup on the table.

As the number of yellow-feathered chickens in the family increased, their daily egg production also increased. The eggs that failed to hatch were carefully collected by Chen Lian and served on Chen Dao's family's dining table.

Today's egg drop soup clearly used a large number of eggs, and the egg flowers floating in the soup made Chen Si and the others' mouths water.

"Let's eat!"

After Chen Dao took his seat, dinner began. Everyone ate egg drop soup with steamed buns and was quite satisfied with the meal.

After dinner, Chen Da and the others left. The women in the house were responsible for cleaning up the dishes, while Chen Dao returned to his bedroom and lay on the bed, thinking about the events of the day.

"Yuan Hua!"

As Chen Dao uttered this name, he couldn't help but recall the old face of the owner of Yuan's Pharmacy. His lavish spending at Yuan's Pharmacy had clearly made him a target for Yuan Hua, who had even gone so far as to contact the Black Tiger Gang in an attempt to seize his wealth...

Unfortunately, Chen Dao's wealth is not so easy to obtain. Now, Chen Dao is not only an eighth-rank martial artist, but also has Xiao Yuan protecting him. The Black Tiger Gang, that kind of low-class thing, cannot threaten Chen Dao in the slightest!

However... although Qin Jiang of the Black Tiger Gang did not have any impact on Chen Dao, Chen Dao had already harbored a grudge against Yuan Hua!

Chen Dao has always adopted a strategy of eliminating anyone who threatens his life and property, and he has already made plans to get rid of Yuan Hua.

As for how to get rid of it...

Naturally, the solution was to go directly to his home and eliminate him. Chen Dao had no influence in the county and couldn't find Yuan Hua's address, so he had no choice but to go to the pharmacy to find him.

However... if we want to get rid of Yuan Hua, then we have to consider the Yuan family!

Chen Dao knew very well that managers who were responsible for doing business and running the family's industries were often not highly regarded within the family. In other words, Yuan Hua was at most a marginal figure in the Yuan family.

Even if they are marginal figures, they are still from the Yuan family. Once I kill Yuan Hua, I'm afraid the Yuan family will not let it go!

"Perhaps...we could bring Li Hu and Xu Zhiwen along?"

A glint of light appeared in Chen Dao's eyes. His conversation with Xu Zhiwen and Li Hu today had taught him that these two were at odds with the three major families in the county. Otherwise, they wouldn't have wiped out the Zhu family.

Adhering to the principle that the enemy of my enemy is my friend, Chen Dao felt that he could completely unite with Xu Zhiwen and Li Hu to fight against the Yuan family, and even... wipe out the entire Yuan family!

Chen Dao felt no guilt whatsoever about wiping out the entire Yuan family. These powerful families were no good; they seized the people's fertile land and exploited them to the bone. Their extravagant lifestyles were entirely derived from oppressing the people. Chen Dao, who always considered himself one of the common people, naturally didn't care about the Yuan family's fate.

"Next time I go to town, I might give it a try!"

With these thoughts in mind, Chen Dao slowly drifted off to sleep.

…………

…………

The next day.

As dawn broke, the entire Chenjia Village seemed to come alive. Villagers carried their farm tools out of their homes, heading towards Chen Dao's house in twos and threes with great enthusiasm.

"We can eat steamed buns again! We're living such a good life now!"

"It's all thanks to Brother Dao! If it weren't for him, how could we be living such a good life?"

"Yes! Our Chenjia Village has produced a Daoge'er, it's truly a blessing for our village! Did you see that village chief from Xiaohe Village the other day? When I was eating steamed buns, he kept staring at me, his eyes almost popped out!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Bald Qiang from Xiahe Village is just envious of our lives."

"That's right! My fields are closer to Xiahe Village, so I can see Bald Qiang watching me work from afar every day!"

"Haha! Bald Qiang is so envious of our village's life! He and his son watch us work in the fields every day."

"..."

The villagers are generally quite satisfied with their current lives, especially after comparing them with the lives of the villagers in Xiahe Village.

It is said that happiness comes from comparison. When they thought about how the villagers of Xiahe Village couldn't even get enough bran to eat and had to stay at home to conserve energy, while they could eat steamed buns every meal, the smiles on the faces of the villagers of Chenjia Village became even brighter, and a sense of happiness welled up in their hearts.

"Huh? What's the village chief saying to Daoge'er?"

The villagers near Chen Dao's house immediately noticed that the village chief, Chen He, had arrived ahead of time and was standing in front of Chen Dao's house, discussing something with Chen Dao.

"Good morning, Daoge'er!"

Chen He greeted Chen Dao and then said, "The seeds have been sown in the ground. Now we just need to see if they will sprout!"

Although Chen Dao had always appeared very confident, Chen He was still unsure, fearing that the wheat seeds planted in the ground would not grow.

If the crops fail to grow, life in Chenjia Village will likely revert to its previous state of eating chaff every day.

"Village chief, don't worry!"

Chen Dao noticed Chen He's anxiety and comforted him with a smile, "This wheat will definitely grow!"

"I hope so!"

Chen He said that in his more than forty years of life, he had never seen grains that could grow in such cold weather, so he naturally had no confidence.
