Chapter 129 - 129 1 Looking for Trouble After Modification

129: Chapter 1 Looking for Trouble After Modification: 129: Chapter 1 Looking for Trouble After Modification: Jiji’s business was booming on the first day of opening, and today it even managed to put Bai Yun in a bind.

Wu Xiaoyu was initially very excited.

But unexpectedly, rumors had spread throughout the village about his breakup with Li Yuqi.

How did something that happened just a few days ago become known to everyone so quickly?

Li Yuqi hadn’t left the house since she got home, so she definitely wasn’t the one who spread the news, and she shouldn’t be shameless to that extent.

But aside from the two sisters, the only people who knew were his own parents, and they wouldn’t let their son be embarrassed.

So who had been so scheming?

Wu Xiaoyu, full of doubts, returned home and as soon as he stepped inside, his mother rushed up, angrily shouting:

“You broke up with Li Yuqi, and so be it!

What’s with the nonsense in the village?

Now everyone knows that she dumped you.

Where should I put my face?”

Hearing his mother say this, and seeing his father stay silent, Wu Xiaoyu became more convinced that it wasn’t them who accidentally leaked the news.

Who was the blabbermouth?

Wu Xiaoyu sat next to his father, took a sip of water, and explained with a displeased face, “Do you think I’m stupid?

Why would I go around talking about such things to others?”

His father responded matter-of-factly, “Looks like it was Li Yuqi who spread the news.

So what if she went to university?

What’s so great about that?”

Hearing his father’s words, Wu Xiaoyu paused, as he had never heard his father speak ill of others.

It seemed experience counts; his father had deduced that Li Yuqi considered herself superior and looked down on him.

For years, he had prided himself on being more knowledgeable than most, but he hadn’t realized even his father was more perceptive.

Maybe he had just been holding onto false hope!

“Alright, it doesn’t matter who spread the news.

It’s fact anyway!” Wu Xiaoyu said helplessly.

His mother complained with regret, “If I had known, I would have arranged a match for you last year!

That way, we’d be the ones dumping her…”

Wu Xiaoyu chuckled bitterly, “Can we not talk about this?

Don’t you want to hear how the business is doing?”

Wang Aifeng immediately became interested, forgetting all her anger, and asked eagerly, “Look at me getting so worked up I forgot!

Tell me how much money you made; how much can our family get?”

Before Wu Xiaoyu could speak, his father scolded with a stern face, “Look at you, all you think about is money!

The business just opened and you’re already thinking about profits!”

“I do think about money!

Once we’re rich, let’s see if that Li girl can still be arrogant.

With money, finding a good girl is no problem.

Maybe we can find Xiaoyu a PhD or Master’s holder,” said his mother hopefully.

Seeing his mother like this, Wu Xiaoyu hesitated to speak.

Even though business was hot today, the profit wasn’t much due to the heavy discounts.

It was just fortunate to have a slight surplus!

After hesitating for a long time under his mother’s gaze, Wu Xiaoyu reluctantly said, “Business was booming today… we should have… a slight profit!

At least we didn’t lose money!”

Business was booming but didn’t make much profit?

How does that make sense?

His parents stared at him in confusion, so Wu Xiaoyu briefly explained his discount strategy.

Though his mother somewhat understood, she was still heartbroken over the 40% discount.

How much money did that cost?

Night passed without a word.

The next morning, Wu Xiaoyu packed the mushrooms picked by his cousins and the native chickens.

After giving little Li a few instructions, he went home to eat.

When he returned to the chicken farm, he saw Niu Qiang and Liu Sheng standing at the entrance.

Wu Xiaoyu hurried toward them, calling out, “What’s up, Brother Niu Qiang?”

Niu Qiang looked around at the villagers picking mushrooms and joked, “You can say you’re leading the villagers to wealth!”

Liu Sheng stood on tiptoe, glanced at Niu Qiang, and said sarcastically, “Picking mushrooms, how much money can they make?

If anyone makes money, it’s helping others make money!”

His sarcastic tone made Wu Xiaoyu’s teeth itch with anger, but he had to put on a playful smile.

He couldn’t confront him publicly.

Wu Xiaoyu comforted himself, considering it practice in patience.

While opening the door, he asked, “What’s up?

What are you two doing here at the chicken farm?”

Niu Qiang hesitated and then said, “About you and Li Yuqi, I heard the village people gossiping.

Don’t take it to heart!”

It’s about that matter!

Wu Xiaoyu invited them inside to sit under a big tree.

He then pretended to be carefree and said, “That matter?

It’s no big deal; let them say what they want!”

Niu Qiang saw he wasn’t bothered and continued, “Good!

The other day, I teased you a bit at the village entrance.

Hope you didn’t take it seriously!”

So that’s what it was about, just teasing with a half-joking comment.

Did he really think Wu Xiaoyu was so petty?

“Brother Niu Qiang, why would I take that seriously?

I’m not that petty,” Wu Xiaoyu laughed.

Niu Qiang nodded with a smile, indicating he didn’t mean it that way.

Liu Sheng seized the moment and said, “Not petty, indeed!

Yesterday I casually mentioned Li Yuqi and got a hard stomp from you.

Still hurts and weakens my foot!”

Niu Qiang glanced at Liu Sheng and said, “It was a joke, a stomp on your foot.

Is it that serious?

If I knew you’d come to complain, I wouldn’t have come with you!”

With this offhand complaint, Wu Xiaoyu sensed something odd.

Was Niu Qiang manipulated by Liu Sheng into coming here?

This guy really deserved a beating to behave properly.

Wu Xiaoyu glared at him contemptuously and said mockingly, “I did it on purpose!

What now?

You want to fight or want medical compensation?”

Liu Sheng pointed at Wu Xiaoyu and said to Niu Qiang, “See, he admitted it!

I just mentioned he was dumped by Li Yuqi.

It’s true, not made up!”

As soon as he said this, Niu Qiang’s face darkened.

The saying goes, “Don’t hit people in the face, don’t uncover their shortcomings.” Liu Sheng was definitely stirring trouble.

Wu Xiaoyu’s face darkened and he remained silent, watching Liu Sheng continue his antics.

Liu Sheng didn’t disappoint, continuing, “It’s normal for Li Yuqi, who went to university, to dump you.

What’s so hard to accept?

You even hit people…”

Niu Qiang saw Liu Sheng going too far and quickly punched him, signaling him to stop, but Liu Sheng didn’t appreciate it and continued to provoke Wu Xiaoyu.
