Chapter 273: Chapter 133: Muddle Through_1

Speaking of practical matters, Yan Fei perked up, "Actually, after I sell the paper money, I plan to buy more cattle! Do you know anyone who could find me some?"

"That’s your business, figure it out yourself. Unless there are special circumstances, try not to involve relatives. Otherwise, you’re too young and of low ranking to manage them. Someone like Heizi is suitable, as long as he’s young and strong. Anyway, you can handle him, just find one or two more." Yanfei’s father refused first then suggested, planning not to interfere in his son’s affairs.

Yan Fei nodded thoughtfully.

"Alright, no more talking. As long as you understand, remember this. Those who overcome others with power do not win their hearts, and their power is insufficient; those who win people over with virtue win their hearts sincerely. Do you understand?"

Yan Fei nodded honestly, "I can remember, but I don’t understand!"

Yanfei’s father laughed at his words, "You don’t understand now, but if you check your books later, you will naturally understand. Anyway, it’s about making you think more and not rely solely on brute force."

"Also, something else you need to pay attention to. Don’t you think you’re becoming too conspicuous? Let’s not even talk about raising cattle and pigs and selling liquor; things like carrying big stones to marry a university student, catching rabbits and fishing, try to do less of these in the future. Don’t make such a public spectacle. Do you know the saying ’the exposed beam gets rotten first’? It’s referring to cases like yours."

"Also, try to show off your strength less. Constantly walking by the riverside, how can shoes not get wet? If something happens in the future and people start making connections, that won’t be good."

Yan Fei nodded, agreeing entirely, it aligned perfectly with his own thoughts.

If he used to walk by the river a lot, his recent ’Straw Hat Hero’ activity is akin to diving headfirst into the river. If he doesn’t keep a low profile, it could cause trouble.

"Alright, I reckon you handle affairs very reliably. At least if it was me, let’s not mention during junior high school, even when I first started working, I wouldn’t be able to manage a cattle farm." Seeing how sincere Yan Fei was when he nodded, Yanfei’s father was very pleased, patting his shoulder as encouragement, "Just remember not to make a spectacle of yourself easily, avoid stirring up trouble. Work hard, we, people of the old Yan family, cannot be inferior to others!"

Yan Fei could still accept compliments, nodding promptly, "Don’t worry! From now on, I’ll just focus on studying and raising cattle. I assure you that I won’t do anything else or stir up trouble."

Yanfei’s father immediately showed relief, "It’s good that you understand! Alright, it’s getting late, I have to go to the factory in the afternoon, so I won’t be having lunch here. You should send me back now and hurry back, don’t delay the people coming to pick up the goods later."

Yan Fei nodded, saying okay, then took the lead and walked towards the main road. Seeing that the father and son were about to reach the main road, Yanfei’s father was perplexed, "I told you to send me off, where are you going?"

Yan Fei was also perplexed, "What’s wrong? I’m giving you a ride! How can I stop a car if I’m not at the side of the road?"

Yanfei’s father was exasperated, "Are you taking me to ride a car? Don’t you have a motorcycle? I’m in a hurry to get back! There are no traffic police at noon in the county town, just drive your unlicensed motorcycle and send me back."

Yan Fei suddenly realized, "Oh! You’re talking about the motorcycle? Didn’t you just ask me to keep a low profile? I was thinking the same, so I sent it to Fifth Brother in the county town last night, asking him to help sell it off. With the money I could buy more cattle, isn’t it?"

Yanfei’s father was taken aback. Yan Fei remembered that there was another motorcycle in the farm, and quickly said, "Wait a second, I’ll ride that broken motorcycle from Ma Chao to send you off! Will be back shortly..."

He prepared to go for the motorcycle.

"Wait, wait, wait...." Before he could take a step, Yanfei’s father stopped him. Yanfei’s father had a resigned expression as he pointed towards the main road, "Never mind, a car is coming, I’ll just take that!"

It seems that the father and son were quite lucky, there was a wobbly bus just leaving the small town, heading to the county town, seen from right here.

Just as Yanfei’s father was about to board the bus, Yan Fei suddenly remembered, and said to Yanfei’s father, "About the things we spoke about earlier, as long as you know it’s enough. Don’t tell my mom, okay?"

Yanfei’s father waved his hand indicating he understood.

As soon as the bus left, Yan Fei casually waved his hand and went back into the cattle farm.

Finally, he managed to get rid of his father and although he did reveal some bits of information, at least he didn’t expose more. Moreover, the final result and his father’s reaction, Yan Fei was quite satisfied.

Little did he know, Yanfei’s father found a seat at the back of the bus where no one was sitting. Not long after he sat down, his heart started to thump wildly, and sweat began to break out on his forehead. Even the wind from the bus window couldn’t calm him.

It was only after the bus had traveled a long distance that he managed to calm down after taking in several deep breaths.

Obviously, hearing from his son’s own mouth about the murder in the street, his feelings were not as calm as he had shown. He was just trying to maintain in front of his son.

As soon as Yan Fei returned to the cattle farm, Xu Xiaoyan came running over.

Then he felt overwhelmed, these last two days have been too unlucky, dealing with one issue after another.

In the end, when she approached, she said, "Has your dad left? Why didn’t he mention anything about money? How can he just take our goods away, when is he going to pay us?"

As soon as Yan Fei heard what she said, he was immediately relieved, nonchalantly saying, "Don’t worry, he won’t fail to pay."

The girl worriedly asked him again, "The price is not going to be lower than what we give to the town, is it?"

Yan Fei hadn’t asked his father how he had handled this matter, so he didn’t know either. He could only console the girl first, "It probably won’t be! The Uncle Chen who came to see us seemed to have a good relationship with my father, so he shouldn’t let us suffer a loss. Besides, we found this stuff, so it’s fine to give whatever we can. You don’t need to overthink!"

The girl felt she was worrying needlessly. She sat there not knowing what to think about, sometimes looking at the paper at the front of the house with dollar signs in her eyes; sometimes chuckling to herself. For a while, she forgot to investigate Yan Fei’s situation.

At noon, during the heat of the day, a large truck came rumbling in, clearing all the goods in one fell swoop.

Watching as the large truck disappeared into the dust, Miss Xu Xiaoyan began discussing with Yan Fei how many cattle they could buy once the money for these goods was paid in full.

Yan Fei ’kindly’ reminded the young lady on the side that if they wanted to buy more cattle, they would need to look for additional help for the cattle farm. If there were too many cattle, one person wouldn’t be able to handle it.

So the young lady began to consider whom to find.

Anyway, they were busy the entire afternoon.

Yan Fei was sneaking a laugh. In a few days, he guessed this girl would forget to investigate the ’Straw Hat Hero’ incident.

However, he was being too optimistic. After dinner, when the girl asked Yan Fei to practice writing, she immediately remembered that she had to continue investigating his ’destruction of evidence’ crime!
