156: Revised: Chapter 156 Resentment in the Heart 156: Revised: Chapter 156 Resentment in the Heart But what could he have to discuss with me?

Wu Xiaoyu sat down and asked, “What’s up?

If you need me to do anything, just let me know!”

This time, Niu Qiang came originally to give Wu Xiaoyu some advice, but hearing Wu Xiaoyu speak so generously, he couldn’t help but feel moved.

“Um…

Xiaoyu, it’s like this, I know Liu Sheng has been against you recently and has done quite a few outrageous things!

Generally speaking, I still hope you two can reconcile, but…” Niu Qiang hesitated before continuing.

But before he could finish, Wu Xiaoyu interrupted him, saying, “Brother Qiang, I know you mean well, but it doesn’t depend on me!”

Niu Qiang noticed that he misunderstood his meaning and quickly smiled, saying, “I’m not trying to be a peacemaker!”

Hearing this, Wu Xiaoyu got even more puzzled.

If he’s not trying to be a peacemaker, why mention Liu Sheng at all!

Niu Qiang was a bit hesitant, stood up, and started pacing back and forth in the room.

Wu Xiaoyu couldn’t stand this dawdling and said, “Brother Niu Qiang, just say whatever you need to.

You know me!”

“Alright, then I’ll say it straight!

But don’t think I’m trying to instigate anything!”

Niu Qiang paused and then said, “It’s like this, the day before yesterday I found Liu Sheng to discuss our return to Guangdong Province, but he told me he wasn’t going back and wanted to stay here and develop!”

“Initially, it didn’t matter much, but…

when I mentioned you, a fleeting trace of resentment appeared in his eyes.

I think…

he might still have some grudge against you!”

Upon hearing this, Wu Xiaoyu sneered and said, “Grudge against me?

Let him be, anyway, a little shrimp can’t stir up any waves!”

Niu Qiang brought this up just to remind Wu Xiaoyu to watch out for Liu Sheng, to avoid any losses.

But seeing Wu Xiaoyu’s reaction, he felt he might have said too much!

“Xiaoyu, please don’t misunderstand, I really just wanted to remind you, with no intention of stirring up trouble!”

“You know Liu Sheng has been speaking well of you to everyone in the village these past few days, but his attitude changes when I mention you, which makes me uneasy!”

Wu Xiaoyu patted his shoulder with a smile and said, “Brother Niu Qiang, don’t worry, I won’t misunderstand!

I know you’re telling me this for my own good!

Rest assured, I’ll keep an eye on Liu Sheng!”

“Actually, have you thought about staying here to do something?

How about staying to help me manage the chicken farm?

You can’t work in Guangdong Province forever!”

Hearing this, Niu Qiang felt very touched, but he also knew the village customs.

If he really stayed to help Wu Xiaoyu raise chickens, not only would he face misunderstanding and gossip from relatives, but he also might get scolded by the village head!

Niu Qiang and the others going back to work in Guangdong Province naturally aroused envy and interest among the villagers.

Some even went to Niu Qiang and Li Mingli’s homes, asking if they could take their sons to Guangdong Province to work.

But their jobs were in an electronics factory, and though the work isn’t highly technical, they only hire high school graduates.

Most of the young people in the village didn’t even finish middle school, so how could they get hired?

Taking them to Guangdong without finding them jobs would just add trouble!

So, amidst envy from many and complaints from a few, Niu Qiang left Daxin Village with his partner and Li Mingli, heading to the lively world.

Life in Daxin Village continued as boring as ever, with the only interest being the gossip from each household.

Among these, Wu Xiaoyu was still the most talked about, even the infamous Mrs.

Liu had to steer clear, as rumors had it he was building a factory on his land to make shiitake mushroom sauce.

When not practicing on the mountain, Wu Xiaoyu would go to Jiji in town for a treat, living quite comfortably.

The only slight issue was that Li Yujia still avoided him, but he often thought of her, thought of her…

One day, while Wu Xiaoyu was lounging in his thatched hut, chatting casually with Bai Yun on WeChat, he suddenly heard someone calling him from outside.

It was Li Yujia.

Upon hearing this, Wu Xiaoyu jumped up from his bed, opened the door, and saw Li Yujia standing there, shyly looking down.

“What’s up, Jiajia!

Calling me…

Is there something you need?” Wu Xiaoyu asked, pretending to be reserved.

Li Yujia glanced at him sideways, then whispered, “It’s my grandma, she wants you to come over!”

Fourth Grandma?

What does she want with me?

Wu Xiaoyu was puzzled but happy since it was the first time recently that Li Yujia had come to him.

Moreover, she wanted to take him to her Fourth Grandma’s house, which meant another chance to be together?

Even though she still couldn’t face him calmly or deal with that matter.

But Wu Xiaoyu believed that given time, even iron could bloom, let alone Li Yujia!

While opening the door, Wu Xiaoyu said, “Sure!

I’ll go with you.

Do I need to bring anything?”

Li Yujia still dodged a bit, saying, “There haven’t been many shiitake mushrooms on the mountain lately, so…

can you bring some over?”

Bring some shiitake mushrooms?

It seems Fourth Grandma is making shiitake mushroom sauce again, and she’s calling him over to teach him?

Wu Xiaoyu quickly returned to the thatched hut, grabbed a bag of shiitake mushrooms, locked the gate of the chicken farm, and followed Li Yujia down the mountain.

Every time Wu Xiaoyu tried to walk beside Li Yujia, she would speed up a few steps, leaving him behind.

Helpless, Wu Xiaoyu trailed behind her down the mountain; when they reached the village and the villagers saw them, they were curious but no longer dared to joke about them.

After all, Li Yuqi and Wu Xiaoyu’s matter had ended, and they were no longer brother-in-law and sister-in-law.

Making fun now would seem inappropriate.

Following Li Yujia, Wu Xiaoyu arrived at Qin Xiangqin’s house.

As soon as he entered the yard, he called out warmly, “Grandma, I’m here, and I brought some shiitake mushrooms!”

Seeing them enter, Qin Xiangqin couldn’t help but smile, as Li Yujia walked in front with a straight face, silent, while Wu Xiaoyu followed closely behind, grinning cheekily, like a bickering newlywed couple.

“Alright!

Come to the kitchen, both of you!” Qin Xiangqin smiled and called them in.

Entering the kitchen, Wu Xiaoyu saw several empty earthen jars on the stove, along with a big bowl of bean paste and a big bowl of chili peppers.

Qin Xiangqin took the shiitake mushrooms from Wu Xiaoyu and handed them to Li Yujia, instructing, “Jiajia, go wash these shiitake mushrooms!”

Li Yujia, feeling relieved, quickly took the shiitake mushrooms and hurried out, while Wu Xiaoyu turned around, staring at her departing figure.

Seeing this, Qin Xiangqin couldn’t help but wonder if this boy likes Jiajia?

“Ahem!” Qin Xiangqin cleared her throat to catch Wu Xiaoyu’s attention, then continued, “Didn’t you say you were going to set up a shiitake mushroom sauce factory?

I’ve heard you’re already building it?”

Wu Xiaoyu, somewhat surprised, replied, “Yes, we’ve started preparing to build the factory.

My dad is already looking for people to buy building materials!”

Qin Xiangqin nodded and said, “You said you wanted to set up a factory, but you only came to my place once to learn.

Do you think you’ve learned everything?

You’ve only seen me stir-fry shiitake mushroom sauce; do you know how I make this bean paste?”
