Overbearing Immortal Doctor
Chapter 103 - 103 After Modification 103 Returning from Work

103: After Modification: Chapter 103 Returning from Work 103: After Modification: Chapter 103 Returning from Work If in the future, we accidentally plant too many mushrooms and Juxian Inn and Holy Land Hotel can’t use them up, what should we do then?

It looks like we really need to buy a dehydration machine so we can process the mushrooms we pick in the afternoon into dried mushrooms.

That would also make a good amount of money.

Thinking of this idea, Wu Xiaoyu couldn’t help but praise himself, “Why am I so smart?”

Just as he was feeling pleased with himself, a native chicken flapped over, leaving a pile of chicken poop in front of him before running off.

Fuck you, are you insulting me?

I’ll stew you today!

Wu Xiaoyu got up, took a swift step forward, and went to catch the chicken.

Not far from the chicken coop, Li Yujia, who was searching for mushrooms, inadvertently saw this and beamed with joy.

Who would’ve thought Brother Xiaoyu had such a cute side?

The summer harvest work had officially started.

Most people had begun to toil in the fields, and even those who had gone to work outside were coming back home to join the summer harvest.

The most anticipated among them were Niu Qiang and his group, who had been working at an electronics factory in Guangdong Province.

It was said that they could earn five thousand yuan a month!

That was more than what others earned in two months working on construction sites.

Plus, ever since Wu Xiaoyu came back from Guangdong Province, he had come up with these money-making ideas.

It really seemed like Guangdong Province was a land of fortune!

Families with daughters of marriageable age were especially eagerly waiting for Niu Qiang’s group to return.

These people were originally high school graduates and literate.

Now, able to earn so much money, they naturally became golden bachelor material in the eyes of the villagers.

Niu Gui and his friends would stay for at least a month when they returned.

That’s five thousand yuan for just staying home for a month and helping with the wheat harvest.

It definitely didn’t compare.

They were just using it as an excuse to come home.

On a sunny day, Niu Gui and his group of five returned in grand style, dragging their suitcases.

To the villagers’ great shock, among the five was a smiling girl holding Niu Qiang’s hand.

Holy crap!

Niu Qiang found such a beautiful wife?

How come his mother, Xin Qiao, never mentioned it?

Xin Qiao, that blabbermouth, managed to keep it a secret?

Niu Qiang’s parents were naturally overjoyed upon hearing that their son would be back in a few days.

They even sought out a few matchmakers to find him a bride before he returned.

Today, seeing him come back with a pretty girl, they felt even more proud.

Look, after just a little over a year, he brought back such a beautiful daughter-in-law.

Whose sons can compare to our Qiangzi?

The remaining three couldn’t help but feel disgruntled as they saw Niu Qiang hogging all the attention.

Soon, their displeasure turned into disdain.

So what if he brought back a factory girl?

No big deal.

Next time, I’ll bring one back too.

These villagers are really something, getting so surprised over a factory girl!

…

Speaking of which, Wu Xiaoyu had gotten his job in Guangdong Province thanks to Niu Qiang.

Now that Niu Qiang had returned, he should pay him a visit.

Wu Xiaoyu came down from the mountain, went home to change into clean clothes, and headed to Niu Qiang’s house.

As soon as he entered, Niu Qiang pulled him over, opened his room door, pointed inside at a girl, and said, “Xiaoyu, look who’s here?”

Seeing the girl’s face, Wu Xiaoyu couldn’t help but laugh.

Dammit!

Isn’t this the factory girl from my old workplace?

Her name was Bai Hong.

She had joined the factory around the same time as Wu Xiaoyu.

That day when Niu Qiang came to see him off, he had seen this girl and told Wu Xiaoyu that he must pursue her, which Wu Xiaoyu had taken as a joke.

But now it seemed he had indeed succeeded.

No wonder he kept visiting me every other day back then.

He was using me as an excuse to get close to Bai Hong.

How could I have been so dense?

Bai Hong already knew that Wu Xiaoyu and Niu Qiang were from the same village, so she wasn’t surprised to see him here.

She smiled and said, “Wu Xiaoyu!

We meet again!”

Wu Xiaoyu had interacted with Bai Hong quite a bit at the factory and knew she was a decent person.

Seeing her and Niu Qiang together made him genuinely happy for them.

He teased, “Aren’t you two going to buy me a drink?

I’m basically your matchmaker!”

Bai Hong blushed and smiled shyly, while Niu Qiang, with a look of self-importance, said, “It’s all because of my own skills, nothing to do with you!”

After chatting with them for a bit, Wu Xiaoyu realized it was almost dinner time.

Not wanting to be a third wheel, he made an excuse to leave.

When he got home, his mother had already prepared the meal.

As soon as he sat down, his mother gossipingly asked, “How was the girl?

Is she really as pretty as everyone’s saying?”

Bai Hong had a nice personality but wasn’t particularly beautiful.

It was just that she’d been in the city long enough to learn how to apply makeup and looked fairer and cleaner as a result.

Wang Aifeng, seeing her son just quietly eating, added with a tinge of envy, “They were away for just a bit over a year and already brought home a wife.

It seems Xin Qiao will soon become a grandmother…”

Wu Xiaoyu felt a bit down upon hearing this.

It wasn’t that he was eager to marry and have kids.

He just felt that Li Yuqi had become quite distant since going to college.

Every time he called, she always seemed busy and quickly ended the call.

Wu Youliang, seeing his son’s silence, quickly changed the subject, “Your Fourth Uncle said you should take good care of the chicken farm.

You don’t need to worry about the summer harvest!”

Fourth Uncle meant well, but Wu Xiaoyu wouldn’t just stand by.

The summer harvest was a big deal, and if he didn’t help, people might not be happy.

Even though he was well-regarded by his kin, he didn’t want to seem like he was getting special treatment, “The chicken farm doesn’t require too much work.

I still have time to help with the summer harvest!”

Wu Youliang was very pleased with this response.

It seemed his son was indeed a sensible person, not someone who’d let success go to his head.

Seeing the father and son discuss the wheat harvest, Wang Aifeng didn’t say more.

She hastily finished her meal and headed out to the street.

Village gossip was always more exciting than TV dramas.

As soon as she got to the street, people were already talking about Niu Qiang.

“I heard the girl’s name is Bai Hong, and she worked in Guangdong Province too.

She earns more than four thousand a month!”

“Oh my gosh, if she marries Niu Qiang, wouldn’t the couple earn almost nine thousand a month?

That’s more than a hundred thousand a year!”

“…”

The villagers were all envious.

Educated people really were better off.

A high school graduate could easily earn over five thousand a month in Guangdong Province and now had brought back a wife who also earned well.
