Chapter 741 - 741 739 The Reason for Making Trouble

741: Chapter 739: The Reason for Making Trouble 741: Chapter 739: The Reason for Making Trouble By the time morning came the next day, he was woken up early by the noise outside.

Putting on his clothes and looking outside, it turned out to be a large group of people causing a ruckus near his greenhouse.

Chen Yang had thought it was just a minor conflict in the village, so he didn’t intend to go over there.

After all, they were all from the same village.

A little argument would eventually be resolved.

But just as he was about to turn around and go back to prepare breakfast, Niu Ming came running over in a panic.

“Yang Zi, you better go and check it out.

A group of people has come, saying they will tear down your greenhouse, claiming you are disrupting the market,” Niu Ming said breathlessly.

“What?

They’re going to tear down my greenhouse?”

Hearing this news, Chen Yang was taken aback.

“Yes, there are quite a number of them, several dozen laborers, all aggressive.

You should go and have a look, we can’t hold them back,” Niu Ming nodded and said.

Chen Yang could no longer sit still and immediately rushed towards the greenhouse.

From a distance, he couldn’t see clearly who was arguing, but as he got closer, he realized that it was indeed a group of strangers shouting about tearing down his greenhouse.

And Wang Hong and the villagers of Liuhe Village were trying their best to stop them.

But there were really too many strangers, all capable laborers, and it was obvious that Wang Hong and the others could not stop them.

Seeing the situation, Chen Yang immediately stepped in and separated the two groups.

“Yang Zi, you’re finally here.

These outsiders are causing trouble, saying they’re going to tear down your greenhouse.”

“Yang Zi, beat up this bunch of bastards.

Are they being unreasonable?

Coming all the way here to tear down our greenhouse?

Do they think we’re easy targets?”

Seeing Chen Yang arrive, Wang Hong and others were filled with righteous indignation, loudly scolding the group of laborers.

Chen Yang knew that these people probably didn’t come with good intentions, but he still first calmed down Wang Hong and the others.

After calming everyone down and quieting the scene, Chen Yang then turned to face the group of strangers.

The strangers, dressed differently, were mostly middle-aged.

And through their clothing and some small details, it was evident that they were likely also from rural areas.

“Who are you?

Coming all this way to tear down my greenhouse, what do you mean by that?” After scanning the crowd, Chen Yang asked calmly.

“Hmph.”

Facing Chen Yang’s inquiry, one of the tallest middle-aged men, furious and indignant, stood out.

“Oh, so this greenhouse for growing wild mushrooms is yours, huh?”

“That’s right, it’s mine.

What’s the matter?” Chen Yang nodded and admitted boldly.

“Haha, what’s the matter?

You’ve got a big problem,” the middle-aged man’s voice raised a few notches, seemingly attempting to overpower Chen Yang with his tone.

But Chen Yang, who has been through various situations, how could he be intimidated by this man?

“Heh, then let’s hear it.

How exactly is my problem a big one?” Chen Yang chuckled and continued to ask.

“Alright then, I’ll give you a thorough explanation today,” said the middle-aged man as he lit a cigarette, speaking unhurriedly, “Do you know how much your greenhouse disrupts the market balance?”

“We used to make a good living by foraging for wild mushrooms in the mountains, and now you, kid, have to come along.”

“Not only did you grow wild mushrooms in some damn greenhouse, but now you’ve also developed an evolved version of wild mushrooms, smashing our rice bowls.

Tell us, what are we supposed to do about this?

Give us an explanation!”

After the middle-aged man finished speaking loudly, the others behind him also chimed in with their support.

“Right, exactly, we need an explanation today, or this won’t be over!”

“Destroying our rice bowls, cutting off our livelihood, an explanation is due.”

Dozens of laborers, with a grand show of force, were accusing Chen Yang indignantly, as if he had committed some unforgivable sin.

But after hearing the reasons they provided for demolishing the greenhouse, Chen Yang couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

To make a fuss out of such a thing was indeed unheard of.

Chen Yang was somewhat angry, yet also found it somewhat funny.

“You want an explanation?

What kind of explanation?

Spell it out, let me hear it,” Chen Yang said with a faint smile.

Seeing Chen Yang asking this way, the middle-aged man became forthright and blurted out their purpose for causing trouble.

“It’s simple.

You have three options.

First, we dismantle your greenhouse right now, and you are forbidden from planting anything in the future.”

“Second, you tell us your planting techniques, so we all compete on a level playing field.”

“Third, you pay us a sum of compensation as remediation, so we won’t care about your cultivation of wild mushrooms anymore.”

After laying out the three conditions, the middle-aged man smirked and took a drag from his cigarette.

His demeanor was as if he had Chen Yang completely under his thumb today.

But upon hearing these three options, Chen Yang could not help but laugh out loud.

People in their forties and fifties, thinking so unrealistically, how could they propose such terms?

“What are you laughing at?” Seeing Chen Yang laughing heartily, the leading middle-aged man’s face began to show displeasure.

Chen Yang slightly restrained his smile and answered, “Of course, I’m laughing at how wildly imaginative you all are.

You’re all well into your forties and fifties, can’t you think with your heads?

Is this even realistic?”

“So what do you mean?

Are you choosing one of them or not?

Just say something,” the middle-aged man’s face darkened, and the men behind him were rubbing their hands together, readying for a fight.

If it was anyone else, they would surely be intimidated and try to negotiate.

However, facing such an impolite demand and attitude from this group, Chen Yang had only one response!

“Roll as far away from me as you can.

How I cultivate wild mushrooms is my business; if you can’t grow them, that’s your incompetence!”

Chen Yang, completely unapologetic, shouted at them to leave.

This statement undoubtedly ripped off any facade of civility.

The leader, the middle-aged man, was instantly enraged.

“Fine, kid.

If that’s how you want to talk, don’t blame us for getting physical.

Men, let’s go.

Demolish this damn greenhouse altogether; let’s make sure he can’t grow anything,” he ordered.

At the leader’s command, the laborers behind him started moving, and a conflict seemed imminent.

However, at that moment, a flashing shadow just zipped through the crowd.

Nobody saw what it was, but when everyone recovered, they saw that the leader, the middle-aged man, had two cuts on his face as if slashed by a sharp object.

Because the shadow moved too quickly, the middle-aged man hadn’t felt the pain immediately.

By the time he felt the pain, blood was already flowing from the wounds.

“Ah!”

The leading middle-aged man screamed, breaking the silence.

Then, the laborers behind him started frantically looking around in confusion.

“What was that just now?

What zipped past us?”

“We didn’t see it clearly, what on earth was it?”

“Such incredible speed, we only caught a blur.”

The crowd was in an uproar, and even Wang Hong and others behind Chen Yang were unclear about what the shadow was.

“Ah!

Don’t worry about what it was, hurry up and dismantle the greenhouse; that’s the most important thing,” the leader said, covering the wound on his face but still urging the people to start demolishing the greenhouse.

In a state of panic, the laborers quickly reacted and once again moved aggressively, intent on taking down the greenhouse.
