Chapter 298: Chapter 298: Someone Goes up the Mountain

But little Li still had such great enthusiasm for driving, which was really hard to understand. However, it was good this way; he was engaged in a job he liked now, so he should be more attentive to it, right?

Wu Xiaoyu threw the car keys to little Li and let him go familiarize himself with the vehicle on a deserted road, while he walked back home by himself.

Even though little Li repeatedly offered to drive him back, Wu Xiaoyu refused.

He was already attracting too much attention in the village; if someone were to specially drive him around now, the villagers would feel even more unbalanced.

Now he was still counting on their votes to push his father into the position of village chief, so why provoke them any further?

When Wu Xiaoyu got home, the sky had already darkened, and the outline of the moon was faintly visible. The villagers chatting idly on the street had not decreased.

Upon seeing Wu Xiaoyu return, the villagers came forward to probe, “Xiaoyu, we heard you went to the city to deliver goods?”

“How much profit did that truckload of goods make? You must be raking it in…”

“…”

Faced with these villagers who were either envious, jealous, or both, Wu Xiaoyu could only evade and change the subject.

After finally breaking free from these people, he returned home to find his mother impatiently coming forward, asking how much money he made.

Wu Youliang, seeing his son looking tired, interrupted his wife, saying, “You talk too much! Hurry and set the table, Dadan is tired after a long day too!”

Wang Aifeng hurried back to the kitchen upon hearing this and brought out the dishes, calling Wu Youliang and his son to start eating.

During the meal, Wang Aifeng once again asked, “Xiaoyu, how much did you make today? Tell your mom!”

As Wu Youliang was picking up food, he became a bit annoyed seeing her persistence, and said somewhat angrily, “Each box earns two hundred, sold over a hundred boxes, can’t you do the math yourself?”

“We made several thousand today, but spent over fifty thousand!” Wu Xiaoyu said nonchalantly while eating.

Wang Aifeng, who had been pleased, couldn’t help but ask upon hearing that her son had spent so much money today, “Xiaoyu, what did you do? How could you spend that much?”

Although Wu Youliang considered himself somewhat worldly, hearing Wu Xiaoyu say he spent over fifty thousand in a day, he couldn’t help but feel nervous.

“I bought a car for delivering goods. If you want to see it, little Li will bring it over when he’s pulling goods tomorrow!” Seeing the two of them staring at him, Wu Xiaoyu quickly explained.

Wu Youliang finally sighed in relief, so it was a car purchase. No wonder he spent so much, I thought he…

Oh well! How could I think of my son that way? He’s young and vigorous, but he wouldn’t do something like that.

Hearing about the car purchase, Wang Aifeng started again, asking a series of questions about the brand, appearance, etc.

Being annoyed by his mother’s constant chatter, Wu Xiaoyu had no choice but to slip away, escaping to the mountains.

However, as soon as he sat down in the hut halfway up the mountain, he faintly heard someone coming up the mountain. Could someone be trying to steal his chickens?

He wondered what kind of expression the person would have upon seeing Dog. Would they be frightened into wetting their pants?

Although he had scolded Dog after it bit Niu Dachun last time, forbidding it from biting people again, it was still a wolf, and seeing it would scare most people to death, right?

Wu Xiaoyu was a bit curious about who it was that had the nerve to cause trouble, so he stepped out of the hut and hid behind a tree to look down the mountain.

Just as he saw a figure, Dog suddenly leaped out of the woods, charging fiercely at the figure.

In no time, a woman’s crying voice rang out, “Oh my God! It’s a wolf! Help… Help!”

Dog stood in front of her, glaring without making further moves, hoping she would take the hint and leave.

Recognizing the familiar voice, Wu Xiaoyu immediately identified the person coming up the mountain and walked down slowly. After driving away Dog, he said, “Mrs. Liu, why did you come up the mountain? Are you planning to steal chickens like others?”

Mrs. Liu, hearing Wu Xiaoyu’s voice, dared to open her eyes and, seeing that the wolf was gone, finally couldn’t help but cry.

Although Wu Xiaoyu despised her and wished to avoid her, her coming up the mountain alone at night was quite suspicious.

With her screaming so loudly, if someone heard, they might really think he did something to her!

“Alright! Stop crying, the wolf is gone. You better get down the mountain!” Wu Xiaoyu advised kindly.

Mrs. Liu, still sobbing, said, “Xiaoyu, my legs are weak, I can’t walk!”

Indeed! Not to mention Mrs. Liu, even the strong men in the village would probably be paralyzed with fear upon seeing Dog.

But she couldn’t just sit on the mountainside, could she?

Having no other choice, Wu Xiaoyu comforted her, “It’s okay, it’s just a wolf! Think about something else to distract yourself!”

Mrs. Liu grabbed Wu Xiaoyu’s pant leg and cried, “Xiaoyu, why don’t you help me walk?”

Damn it! Don’t you know your own status? They say widows attract trouble, and you’re already enough of a slut with all those affairs; I don’t want to tarnish my reputation.

Wu Xiaoyu quickly pulled his leg back, shook off her hand, and said coldly, “Then just sit here!”

Seeing Wu Xiaoyu turn to leave, Mrs. Liu panicked. If he left and the wolf came back, what would she do?

Mrs. Liu quickly steadied herself, pressing her palms to the ground, stood up with effort, and shouted, “Xiaoyu, wait for me…”

Mrs. Liu going up the mountain late at night caught Zhang Dadan’s attention with an unusual sense.

Ever since she was caught with the village chief, she had been avoiding me, fearing to provoke me. But now she had the courage to sneak around at night?

And instead of making excuses after being caught, she followed me up the mountain, which was illogical.

When Wu Xiaoyu reached the chicken farm gate and noticed Mrs. Liu still following him, he stopped, turned around, and asked, “Why are you following me?”

Mrs. Liu, hands on her waist, caught her breath and laughed, “Xiaoyu, sister-in-law wasn’t afraid you were lonely, so I came to accompany you!”

Lonely? You shameless bitch! Even if I am lonely, I don’t need a slut like you to keep me company!

Wu Xiaoyu was about to drive her away but grew suspicious of her motives, as the saying goes, “no pain, no gain.” She must have another purpose for coming up the mountain at this hour.

Could she be acting on Niu Mansheng’s orders to seduce me again? Such old tricks, even a fool wouldn’t fall for them!

Seeing Liu Xiaoyu staying silent, Mrs. Liu hurried closer, panting, and softly said:

“Xiaoyu, is there any water in your house? Sister-in-law climbed such a long way, I’m thirsty, let me in for a drink!”

Wu Xiaoyu raised his eyebrows and glanced at her, noticing her flirty demeanor, he got a bit flustered and quickly turned away.

Mrs. Zhao, being well-versed in such matters, felt elated seeing him dodge, picking up on his discomfort.
