Overbearing Immortal Doctor
Chapter 199 - 199 Revised 199 Familiar Figure

199: Revised: Chapter 199 Familiar Figure 199: Revised: Chapter 199 Familiar Figure Li Qianqian realized she had been tricked and hurriedly rushed out of Jiji to chase after him, but she was stopped by two waiters who had come upon hearing the commotion.

Wu Xiaoyu returned to Daxin Village.

As he passed through the village center, the villagers who were chatting suddenly fell silent and looked at him with a complicated expression.

Although the quarantine results had proven that the chickens from Wu Xiaoyu’s farm were not raised with hormones, the villagers still kept their distance from him, and even felt resentment and jealousy.

Why did Wu Xiaoyu’s chickens grow so fast?

He must have some secret formula but isn’t sharing it with everyone.

That’s so unkind and selfish!

As a result, the gossip about him among the villagers didn’t decrease; it actually increased.

Fortunately, Wu Xiaoyu didn’t feel guilty about his approach, and the villagers couldn’t openly express their dissatisfaction and jealousy, only making some sarcastic remarks.

When Wu Xiaoyu returned home and had just parked his motorcycle, his mother rushed out of the house anxiously asking, “How was it…

how was it?

Were there many people at the store?”

“Ah!

Don’t even mention it!” Wu Xiaoyu deliberately put on a disappointed look and muttered dejectedly.

Wang Aifeng, seeing her son’s expression, guessed that the restaurant business wasn’t doing well.

After all, the rumor about Jiji using hormone-treated chickens had spread, making it hard to dispel the lie.

“It’s okay!

There’s still a long way to go.

As long as we manage it well, it will get better!” Wang Aifeng comforted him.

Wu Xiaoyu held back his laughter, took the roast chicken and went inside with his mother, placing the roast chicken on the table.

In a downtrodden voice, he said to his parents, “This is the new roast chicken from the shop.

Try it!”

Wu Youliang sighed inwardly seeing his son’s demeanor, forced a smile, and advised, “It’s okay!

We’ve just reopened!”

Wu Xiaoyu ignored his father’s comforting words, sat down next to him, rested his chin in his hands, and said seriously,

“Ah!

We’ve just reopened and the store is already full of people.

It seems it’s too small.

What should we do?

It’s really worrying!”

Hearing this, Wu Youliang and his wife were initially stunned, then both gave Wu Xiaoyu a playful swat.

You rascal!

Learned to play tricks on your parents, huh?

“Okay…

okay…

I admit my mistake…

I admit my mistake…” Wu Xiaoyu couldn’t help but laugh and begged for mercy.

Wang Aifeng stopped and went to the kitchen, smiling excitedly.

Wu Youliang looked Wu Xiaoyu up and down proudly.

Truly proves he’s my son!

Amid the laughter, Wang Aifeng brought chopsticks and distributed them to the father and son, laughing, “Try our chef’s new specialty!”

Having already eaten at the shop, Wu Xiaoyu didn’t touch the food, instead heading towards the mountain, while the couple enjoyed the chicken, praising it as they ate!

It was truly a wise choice for their son to cooperate with Zhou Dong.

Without him, where would they find such a great chef?

When Wu Xiaoyu left home and headed straight towards the back mountain, he couldn’t help but notice some villagers eyeing him as he passed through the street.

Their gazes were filled with both admiration and jealousy, making Wu Xiaoyu feel a bit uncomfortable.

It seemed that yesterday’s incident had somewhat negatively affected him.

Nevertheless, once the sauce factory is built and operational, these people might stop being jealous of him.

Instead, they will praise him and even seek his help.

Wu Xiaoyu planned to open the sauce factory not just for further processing mushrooms, but also with an important goal of poverty alleviation, aiming to uplift the entire village financially.

Otherwise, in a poverty-stricken village, if he alone became wealthy overnight, everyone would get very envious, making it hard for him to fit in the village.

As it is, just starting a chicken farm made so many people jealous.

If he didn’t help them find a way to make money, wouldn’t they tear him apart?

It seems the sauce factory’s progress needs to be sped up!

Thinking about the sauce factory, Wu Xiaoyu soon arrived at the chicken farm on the back mountain, where his cousin, Wu Dashan, was resting in the shade of a big tree near the farm entrance.

Walking over, Wu Xiaoyu asked, “Brother, it’s the heat of the afternoon and there’s not much work on the mountain.

Why aren’t you staying at home?”

Wu Dashan stood up, with a serious expression, and said, “A few days ago, didn’t Liu Sheng come to the mountain to steal chickens?

I thought someone should always keep an eye on the mountain.”

His cousin’s words moved Wu Xiaoyu quite a bit.

Despite only paying him a salary of three thousand, he was so diligent and responsible.

This made Wu Xiaoyu feel touched and a bit guilty.

He had made so much money yet hadn’t mentioned giving his cousin a raise.

“Brother!

You don’t need to guard the mountain during the day.

Liu Sheng got caught stealing chickens red-handed.

No one else would dare to come up here to steal chickens,” Wu Xiaoyu explained.

Wu Dashan understood the reasoning but still felt uneasy, saying, “But we can’t lower our guard!

Now the villagers are saying you have some secret to raising chickens.

I’m worried they might cause trouble!”

Unwilling to argue further, Wu Xiaoyu changed the subject after a moment of silence, “Brother, starting next month, I’m giving you a raise!

Five thousand a month!”

Five thousand?

That’s nearly a fifty percent raise!

Wu Dashan was puzzled.

Why suddenly give him such a big raise?

“Xiaoyu, if I’m doing something wrong, just tell me!

Giving me a sudden raise like this is like a slap in the face,” Wu Xiaoyu said glumly.

Understanding his cousin’s honest and stubborn nature, Wu Xiaoyu clarified, “The chicken farm is making profits now!

You’re always fetching water, feeding the chickens, working so hard!

It’s only fair to give you a raise!

It’s settled then.

I’m going to check inside!”

With that, Wu Xiaoyu headed into the thatched house at the chicken farm, leaving Wu Dashan standing there, overwhelmed by the sudden happiness.

Wu Dashan stood rooted in place, contemplating for a while.

Just as he was about to enter the thatched house and thank Wu Xiaoyu, he spotted a familiar figure at the foot of the hill.

Isn’t that Li Yujia?

Just yesterday her sister accused Xiaoyu, and now she’s come here.

What does she want?

Unable to comprehend, Wu Dashan quickened his steps toward the thatched house and said to Wu Xiaoyu, “Xiaoyu, Li Yujia is coming up the hill!”

Hearing this, Wu Xiaoyu’s eyes gleamed briefly before he hesitated and said, “Brother, why don’t you head home first?”

Go home?

Wu Dashan was even more puzzled but nevertheless turned and left.

He hadn’t gone far when he bumped into Li Yujia.

“Brother Dashan!” Li Yujia greeted.

Wu Dashan merely grunted and walked past her down the hill.

Seeing this, Li Yujia knew he was upset with her sister and didn’t say anything, heading to the chicken farm with a face full of guilt.

Standing at the chicken farm entrance, she saw Wu Xiaoyu standing under the big tree, looking at her with a grin.

Li Yujia’s heart filled with countless complex emotions, making her want to leave yet stay, want to speak but remain silent, with tears seeping from her eyes.

“B-Brother Xiaoyu, I’m really sorry!” Li Yujia choked out.

Understanding she was apologizing for her sister’s actions, Wu Xiaoyu brushed it off, walking over gently smiling, “You didn’t do anything wrong.

No need to apologize.”

Li Yujia’s eyes filled with tears, though she didn’t want Wu Xiaoyu to see her cry, so she quickly turned away to wipe them dry.
