My 1995 Small Farm.

Chapter 934 A Powerful Counterattack

"This dog farm is really well set up, Lynx, you're really willing to spend money..."

Chen Ling stood up, looked around, and exclaimed in admiration.

The scale and facilities far exceeded his expectations, showing that the Lynx had really put in the effort.

"This is Zhang Lihua, Brother Hua, a good friend of mine from Hong Kong Island. He's a famous Taiwanese celebrity. You've probably seen him on TV. He also loves dogs; he specializes in raising Tibetan Mastiffs."

Chen Ling introduced them to the two.

"Hello, Brother Hua, I've heard so much about you."

The ocean and the lynx quickly greeted each other.

They had already heard about this "dog-obsessed" celebrity from Chen Ling and Liang Yuemin.

Zhang Lihua finally snapped out of his shock and quickly stepped forward to shake hands: "Brothers, you're too kind. This kennel is really impressive, much better planned than the kennels on Hong Kong Island..."

His words weren't just flattery; the forest environment, coupled with these professional training facilities, truly impressed him.

Moreover, looking south from this dog farm, you can see a large row of breeding farms over there.

In front of the breeding farm, there is a small river that connects to the dog farm on this side.

This is natural, flowing water.

There is running water and a forest for raising dogs.

Too extravagant.

"Brother Hua, you flatter us. We just figured it out by adapting to local conditions and combining it with our previous experience."

Lynx smiled politely.

At this point, Chen Ling introduced Zhang Lihua again: "This is Lynx. He and I jointly run the dog farm here."

“He used to go out into the field with National Geographic teachers and was able to find good dog breeds from all over the world. He also has a dog farm in our city, but those dogs haven’t been moved here yet.”

"Apart from my dog ​​Erhei and the others, all of these dogs are stray dogs that Shanmao adopted."

"Of course, 'stray dog' is what people in your developed cities call it."

“In our area, there are stray dogs, and we want to use stray dogs to select good dogs.”

Someone in a previous life proved this.

Even among mongrels, there can be promising candidates for dog kings.

When that guy starts patrolling, even foreign pedigree dogs have to lie down and prostrate themselves in his presence.

The video went viral overseas.

Zhang Lihua was stunned by this bold statement: "Selecting good dogs from stray dogs... National Geographic... selecting good dogs from all over the world..."

He wanted to shout something in English.

Wow, that's so cool.

This is just awesome.

My heart is burning with passion.

Having followed Chen Ling to his hometown, this was the umpteenth time he had wanted to shout.

He has been to the mainland before.

But this is the first time I've met someone with such shared ideals.

And his level of understanding was clearly higher than that of his friends.

That's awesome, really.

It feels like I've finally found my people.

He was almost moved to tears.

"I want to join! Ah Ling, I absolutely have to join! Count me in!!!"

The old man was incredibly excited.

Chen Ling and Shanmao understood him; people who love to have fun are actually very pure at heart.

As long as they're not gamblers or dogfighters, they're all decent people.

Zhao Dahai didn't understand before.

But now that I've spent more time playing with Chen Ling and the others, I've learned that too.

“I provide dogs and breeding dogs to everyone. Tibetan mastiffs are provided free of charge for breeding. My Tibetan mastiffs are just lacking such a good environment.”

"Moreover, I have some resources on Hong Kong Island that can help everyone open up the high-end market."

These words were exactly what Chen Ling wanted to hear.

The dogs he raises and breeds are meant to challenge foreign breeds.

Hong Kong and Taiwan are naturally good platforms and good outlets.

Lynx glanced at Chen Ling: "Brother Hua, we naturally welcome friends to join us. We also have someone in Beijing who is building a dog farm."

"To put it simply, raising dogs and building a dog farm is very expensive, and you won't see any returns for a long time."

"This isn't just about your dozen or so dogs; there will be more and more dogs in the future."

"If I move all the dogs from the city here, the number will probably reach three hundred at once..."

The majority of the three hundred dogs were left over from dogfighting.

These dogs are very expensive.

Therefore, if you want to join, you need to be upfront about the unpleasant things.

Nobody should be taken advantage of.

“It’s okay. If I don’t have enough money, I can make money by acting. I’m not afraid. What I lack are like-minded people.”

"True friends shouldn't let money ruin their friendship. I'm not the kind of person who cares about those things."

"Whoever invests more in dogs will get a bigger share of the profits later, that's only fair."

Zhang Lihua's gaze was firm.

The lynx breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Ling smiled and said, "As long as you understand the situation, that's fine: 'Indeed, one should not lose one's principles for the sake of money. We share the same ideals, so we should move forward together.'"

"We won't say more, welcome Brother Hua to join us."

Lynx gave a sincere smile: "Brother Hua, you raise Tibetan mastiffs, we'll have to learn a lot from you now..."

"What are you seeking knowledge from? I'm here to learn."

Zhang Lihua quickly waved his hand, pointing to the surrounding packs of dogs and enclosures: "After seeing this, even I, who's been involved with dogs for half my life, feel like a complete novice! This dog farm is really impressive!"

"Come on, Brother Hua, let's watch and chat at the same time."

Chen Ling greeted them.

"okay!"

The group then strolled around and looked around this vibrant forest farm breeding base.

Lynx and Dahai gave a detailed introduction to the layout of the dog farm: breeding area, puppy area, training area, medical room, whelping box, etc., with complete functions and scientific planning.

The kennel is well-ventilated and well-lit, clean and tidy, and has almost none of the unpleasant odors that are unavoidable in ordinary dog ​​farms.

Zhang Lihua watched intently, occasionally asking professional questions, which Lynx answered fluently.

"This is our observation area."

The lynx led everyone to a wide area enclosed by sturdy barbed wire.

"Some new dogs, or dogs with sensitive personalities, will be placed here first to adapt to the environment and to observe their health and temperament."

"Actually, these are all Fugui's ideas. He likes to think things through, and every time he has a flash of inspiration, it is very useful to us."

Chen Ling waved his hand modestly.

This is simply the experience of later generations.

Sometimes I can't remember, and sometimes I just remember it unintentionally.

“That’s the ‘free-range area’.”

"Dogs shouldn't be kept in cages all the time; they need opportunities to run, play, and socialize freely. Letting them out here regularly every day to roam freely is good for their physical and mental health."

"Wonderful!"

Zhang Lihua clapped his hands in admiration: "The biggest problem with my kennel on Hong Kong Island is the limited space; the dogs don't have enough room to move around."

"Ah Ling, Lynx brothers, your design is so humane! This is truly putting dogs first!"

"Raising a dog is like raising a child; you have to go along with their habits."

Chen Ling smiled and pointed to the dozen or so dogs playing in the free-range area: "Those are already adapted to the environment. They know where to play during their daily exercise time."

This place is great!

Zhang Lihua took a deep breath, her eyes shining: "With mountains and forests, the air is so fresh. Dogs raised here will definitely be healthy and in good spirits!"

"Yes, the reason we chose this place was because of this forest."

While observing the dog farm, Chen Ling said, "The forest farm used to be state-owned, but it was later contracted out to an individual. The owner knew Yue Min's father, who is my Uncle Qin, so he took over this forest farm from him. It covers more than a hundred acres."

"Hundreds of acres?!"

Zhang Lihua was taken aback: "Such a big place, and you only keep dogs and cattle and sheep?" "More than that, it's not even being used yet, it's only a small part of it."

Chen Ling smiled and said, "The dog farm takes up part of the land. I've planned cattle breeding, deer breeding, and sheep breeding areas for the remaining land, and I've also reserved a piece of land for breeding special poultry, horses, and donkeys."

"But we're just getting started. We'll get the dog farm, cattle, sheep, and deer farms up first, and then we'll take care of the rest later."

The group walked around the dog farm and then went to see the cattle farm and deer farm next door.

The cattle farm naturally houses the local yellow cattle that Chen Ling used to raise.

Most of these oxen were given to him by Liang Hongyu and the others on a whim, but they couldn't raise them well.

These cattle are now being raised in separate pens and are in good condition.

The deer farm is smaller in scale, with only a dozen or so sika deer and red deer, but they are all plump and strong with glossy fur.

Seeing Chen Ling approach, several bold deer even came closer to the fence and sniffed his hands with their wet noses.

"I plan to mainly harvest the antlers from these deer, and also keep them for ornamental purposes."

Chen Ling explained, "The market price for deer antlers is good, and the environment here is excellent, so the quality of the deer antlers we grow here should be quite good."

Zhang Lihua had lost count of how many times he had exclaimed in amazement: "Ah Ling, this isn't just a breeding farm, it's clearly a complete agricultural ecosystem!"

"Dogs guard the house, cows provide meat and labor, deer produce antlers, and even their manure can fertilize the land... a cycle of recycling, a continuous process!"

Mountain Cat and Zhao Dahai laughed heartily: "Brother Hua's summary is spot on."

Chen Ling also laughed and said, "We can't rely solely on farming and raising livestock to make money now. I'm planning for the long term. Right now, I mainly have a lot of kids at home and can't take care of them all."

Everyone laughed again upon hearing this.

Before we knew it, it was noon.

The group ate a simple lunch over a large pot on the stove.

The meal was simple, but it consisted of vegetables grown in the forest farm and free-range chickens, and it tasted delicious.

After the meal, Chen Ling didn't bother Shanmao and Zhao Dahai any further.

I told them to continue with the finishing touches at the dog farm, while I took Zhang Lihua for a stroll deep into the forest.

The Dumb River and Dumb Lake are both scenic spots.

……

Three days ago, I was far away on Hong Kong Island.

In the villa of Zhang Yufeng, Chen Ling's so-called mother.

Rumors about Chen Ling continued to circulate in this household.

Ironically, it's true.

She had always wanted to escape Chenwangzhuang, that poor mountain village.

She cruelly abandoned her son.

During this time, I have been adored by the family's little granddaughter, "Xiao Miao".

She was having trouble breathing.

"He's a wealthy uncle from mainland China; the animated films are his, and he even wrote the children's stories..."

"I heard that he also makes my favorite braised beef noodles."

"The news reports say he even went hunting wild boars to save the children..."

"He must be an exceptionally good person."

"Is that right, Mom?"

"Xiao Miao is right. Uncle Fugui is a great man, dashing and very handsome."

"How about we go to Uncle Fugui's shop to eat? I heard from my classmates that it's really delicious and there's always a long line."

"If we go, we might see Uncle Fugui, and also Darkness, Little Gold, and Little White Ox..."

"Okay, let's go tonight. Go to sleep now, a nap will give you energy. It's too hot outside, little Miao."

What were meant to lull the child to sleep sounded extremely harsh to Zhang Yufeng, each word piercing her heart.

It truly pierced my heart like an awl.

It caused her to see a series of phantom images.

That was a nightmare that had haunted her for years.

That was the dream she had on her first night away from Chenwangzhuang, in order to pursue her childhood dream.

In my dream, she was like a wicked daughter-in-law from an old movie.

He regretted leaving and ran back to the village overnight.

Chen Ling's father, holding young Chen Ling, blocked her at the door, refusing to let her into the house, and angrily slapped her so hard she was reduced to a tiny figure.

Thinking of this, her chest heaved violently, and she felt a wave of suffocation.

……

In the city, Liang Yuemin frowned after finishing the phone call.

Liu Yinhuan sat opposite him, holding a newspaper from Hong Kong Island in her hand, her face showing obvious anger and confusion.

"Yuemin, look at this, what is written here?"

Liu Yinhuan pushed the newspaper in front of Liang Yuemin, pointing to an inconspicuous corner of the entertainment section with her fingertip.

"The promotional materials for the 'Return to Glory' drama series and the opening announcement for our new 'Fugui Manor' store have all been taken down and replaced with this kind of bland gossip!"

Liang Yuemin took the newspaper and glanced at it. The spot that was originally supposed to publish their news was now occupied by a rambling report about the engagement banquet of a wealthy heiress.

He put down the newspaper, sighed, and rubbed his temples: "I asked Editor-in-Chief Ma, and he said that the higher-ups suddenly gave the order to change the manuscript at the last minute."

"Above? Which above?"

Liu Yinhuan raised her voice a few decibels: "Isn't Editor-in-Chief Ma on good terms with you? Why won't he even give us a definite answer?"

"This is clearly someone deliberately targeting us! Especially Fugui!"

Liang Yuemin remained silent for a moment, then picked up the cigarette case on the coffee table, took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep drag.

His face was somewhat obscured by the swirling smoke.

"Editor-in-Chief Ma... only touched on the point."

"He only said that it was a veteran director of the newspaper who rarely got involved in the specific business who suddenly spoke up."

"A veteran director?"

Liu Yinhuan was stunned for a moment, then as if she had thought of something, her face instantly turned extremely ugly.

"Could it be... her?"

Liang Yuemin did not answer directly, but simply exhaled a smoke ring.

His tone was tinged with deep weariness and a hint of unspoken mockery: "Besides her, who else would be so 'concerned' about wealth and status?"

"And in such a... underhanded way."

"What exactly is she trying to do?!"

Liu Yinhuan stood up abruptly, her chest heaving with anger.

"Fugui is her own son! Even if she did something wrong back then, now that her son is so successful, shouldn't she at least be secretly happy, if not secretly help him?"

"What's wrong with her! What is this? Suppression? Something she can't stand in the light of day?! What kind of mother is this!"

Liu Yinhuan became more and more agitated as she spoke, her voice trembling: "What's wrong with being rich and noble?"

"Started from scratch, capable, responsible, and loyal to family and friends."

"She has no children over there, and she'll just be a caregiver when she gets old. Oh? How did she end up like this..."

"Silver Ring!"

Liang Yuemin interrupted his wife with a low shout, his tone serious.

"Be careful what you say. Some things are better left unsaid; keep them to yourself."

Liu Yinhuan realized she had misspoke and sat back down on the sofa, looking annoyed.

But the resentment on his face did not diminish at all: "I just feel sorry for Fugui! He doesn't know anything, he just wants to live his own little life, why should he have to put up with this kind of humiliation?"

"If Fugui knew this, how upset he would be?"

"So we must not let him know."

Liang Yuemin stubbed out his cigarette and said firmly, "Fugui is quick-witted and exceptionally intelligent. He can see through a person's thoughts in just a few words. Don't be fooled by his seemingly open-minded appearance; he understands things better than anyone else."

"If this matter is exposed, given his personality, he definitely won't swallow his anger. But over there... the water is too deep, and the relationships are too complicated. Now is not the time to confront him head-on."

"Why bother causing him unnecessary distress and disrupting his current life?"

"Let him continue to be a hands-off manager, that's fine. We'll take care of these things. As for that woman, since she's so heartless, let's not let her ever appear in front of Fugui again."

“I sent a message to Hong Kong Island, ordering them to immediately terminate all cooperation with the newspapers and restaurants associated with her.”

For veteran writers in Hong Kong and Taiwan, besides running newspapers and publishing houses, they also run restaurants. Leung Yuet-man wanted to open up the Hong Kong Island market and originally did not want to offend anyone.

But now...

All I can say is screw it.
