Da Si Nong: I really don’t want to farm

Chapter 322 Isn't it shameful?

Do Hong Yuanhai and his son really think that it's not a disgrace but an honor?
Obviously not!

It's nothing more than seeking psychological comfort and regaining some face.

As for retaliating and wiping away the shame?
Obviously, it's impossible, and they wouldn't even dare to think about it.

Since it's so difficult to avenge that defeat, one can only deceive oneself into believing it's a kind of glory.

If it's an honor, then why seek revenge?

Then everything becomes logical.

At the hospital, Li Xiuzhong discussed how to resolve the matter.

Their factory either relocated or closed down.

However, since they received five times the market value in compensation, they have the capital to open factories in other places.

The question is, to open it or not to open it?

"If you're donating 100 million to charity, why not keep the money for yourself?"

Zhang Chunhong didn't quite understand Xu Yue's actions.

Their family received a huge benefit, but Xu Yue's family got nothing. Li Xiurong and her husband were even beaten and hospitalized for standing up for them.

Okay, although the other party seems to be more seriously injured.

But Zhang Chunhong felt bad about it.

They received the benefits, but those who put in the effort got nothing in return.

If she received 100 million in "medical expenses," she would feel better.

Li Xiuzhong and the others also came to their senses and looked at Xu Yue, full of incomprehension.

"Our family doesn't lack that little bit."

Xu Yue said calmly, and Li Xiurong and Xu Jiangming nodded in agreement.

When they took the lead, Xu Yue came; it wasn't that they wanted to gain some benefits from it.

It's only 100 million; their family certainly doesn't lack that much.

What do you need the money for?

Xu Yue simply wanted the other party to pay the price and be taught a lesson.

If you don't lack anything, you naturally won't care.

However, Xu Yue's casual remark and the reaction of Xu Jiangming and his wife left Li Xiuzhong's family dumbfounded.

What does one hundred million equal?

Is that a little bit?

That's a hundred million!
They spoke as if they didn't care at all.

Li Xiuzhong knew that Xu Yue's family had made money, and a lot of money at that.

After all, the "Taoyuan brand" is now renowned throughout the country, and almost everyone who works in or has eaten at high-end restaurants knows it.

Who among the wealthy doesn't know this?
A luxury item in the catering industry.

But they had no idea that the Xu family had earned so much money that they didn't even care about 100 million anymore.

"Uncle, what are your thoughts?" Xu Yue asked Li Xiuzhong. "Is it to find another place to continue operating the factory here, or do some other business here, or go back to our hometown?"

Li Xiuzhong did not speak immediately, but looked at Zhang Chunhong, and then at Li Weihai.

“Go back!” Li Xiurong said. “You are still outsiders here. We can help you out when you go back.”

"What do you think?"

Li Xiuzhong, however, looked at Li Weihai and Zeng Min.

Young people tend to prefer big cities.

Li Weihai, however, looked at Zeng Min.

"Look at you!"

Zeng Min looked at Li Weihai.

She was an outsider in Guangdong.

"Let's go back!"

Li Weihai began to speak.

Why stay?

Xu Yue beat up Hong Jiajun, forced Hong Yuanhai to apologize, and paid such a high price. Who can guarantee that they won't be retaliated against if they stay?

Hongyuan Group has a lot of influence in Guangdong.

Perhaps because of Xu Yue's reputation, they dared not retaliate openly, but it's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark.

Staying is too risky.

My cousin's influence and connections are clearly more powerful back in our hometown.

Why not go back and develop there?
He hadn't decided what to do when he went back, but whatever he did, with Xu Yue's connection, things would be much easier, if not smooth sailing.

"Then let's go back!"

Li Xiuzhong nodded and said so, and Zhang Chunhong also nodded.

They were already exhausted when that group of people caused trouble at the factory.

I really don't want to stay in this place anymore.

It's good to go back to my hometown.

They had that thought before, but they were only concerned about their own son.

Li Xiuzhong's family has made a decision, but they can't go back yet.

They have to wait for the compensation to arrive before they can lay off the workers.

There's still a lot to do here.

Li Xiurong and Xu Jiangming are different.

The next day, the two were discharged from the hospital and returned home with Xu Yue and the others.

They were clearly worried about their daughter-in-law being alone at home.

"When your uncles and the others come back, have you thought about how to help them?" Li Xiurong asked Xu Yue. "I've already told them what to do."

"That depends on what they want to do," Xu Yue said. "Don't worry, whether they want to start a business or find a job, do you think I'd just sit idly by?"

"How about opening a restaurant?" Li Xiurong suggested. "However, they'll open one in the county town."

Xiong Yong has opened a hotel in the county town. If he opens another one there, wouldn't that be stealing business from him?

"They've never worked in the restaurant business before!"

Xu Jiangming opposes this.

He didn't think opening a restaurant was a good choice.

“Doesn’t Xiong Yong also not understand?” Li Xiurong said. “Opening a restaurant, at least, has its advantages.”

"Where can we open a shop then?" Xu Jiangming said. "In the city? There's already the Yuelai Hotel and Shuxiang Pavilion there. The market is so small, wouldn't that be stealing business from those two companies?"

Xu Yue smiled and glanced at Xu Jiangming, seemingly surprised that his father knew these things.

The high-end dining scene in Gong'an City is almost entirely monopolized by Shuxiangge and Yuelai Hotel, leaving no room for a third establishment.

Even if we tried to rob it, we probably wouldn't be able to win.

One in the county is enough; it's not suitable.

There are already two such establishments in the city, which is inappropriate. Besides, those two establishments have an extremely good relationship with Xu Yue.

Shuxiang Pavilion and Yuelai Hotel definitely played a major role in Xu Yue's rise to prominence.

The Xu family are not the kind of people who would discard someone after they have served their purpose.

"Where is Jincheng?"

Li Xiurong asked the question.

Jincheng also has Shuxiangge and Yuelai Hotel, but the Jincheng market is big enough to accommodate a third one.

"Let's see what my uncle and his family want to do first," Xu Yue said. "It's not like opening a restaurant is their only option."

Having ingredients from Taoyuan Farm definitely gives you an advantage when opening a restaurant.

Having an advantage doesn't mean it's suitable.

Besides, with Xu Yue's current network of connections, would he be any worse at doing other businesses?

Just look at Feng Jie and you'll know.

Now he has become the largest liquor supplier in Gong'an City.

Most of the bars and hotels in Gongan City get their drinks from him.

Although there is no monopoly, there are so many types of alcoholic beverages and soft drinks that he cannot possibly obtain the agency rights for them all, and some of them are not compatible.

If you are an agent for this wine, then you cannot be an agent for other wines.

But Feng Jie's business continued to grow bigger and bigger.

"Row!"

Li Xiurong said nothing more.

She couldn't just think that opening a restaurant was a good idea and force Xu Yue's uncle's family to open one.

Their situation is ultimately somewhat different from Xiong Yong's.

If we were to actually do that, it might backfire.

Besides his farm and agricultural trading company, Xu Yue has also ventured into other businesses.

Pharmaceutical factories, wineries, mineral water companies, and a newly established environmental protection company. Everything went smoothly without any trouble.

After getting off the plane, Xu Yue drove back to Taoyuan Village. He told Li Zhuting and the others to disperse, while he took his parents to the clinic.

"It'll be fine in a few days!"

Xu Chengyang checked it and was immediately relieved.

“Cultivate properly, aren’t you ashamed of yourself this time!” Xu Chengyang said. “You even made your own son leave his pregnant wife to clean up after you, how can you be so shameless?”

Relieved, Xu Chengyang began his lecturing mode, his tone somewhat exasperated.

Their sons have already reached the Death Realm, while they are still only at the Second Realm, and their training is not very good; they haven't mastered many of their supernatural abilities.

It wasn't the third realm cultivators who hurt them, but the second realm cultivators.

Although the opponent was more seriously injured and had more combat experience.

But an injury is an injury.

As for Xu Yue's fourth realm, Xu Chengyang wasn't embarrassed. Well, he practiced martial arts, not internal energy cultivation, so there was no comparison.

Moreover, he had only recently broken through to the third realm, but he was already in the late stage of the third realm.

Their progress has been remarkably rapid, and they are fully qualified to teach Xu Jiangming and his wife a lesson.

The key point is that he is their elder, so what's wrong with him lecturing them?
Xu Jiangming and Li Xiurong were reprimanded, but they just lowered their heads and remained silent.

There's no way to refute it!
This is indeed a bit embarrassing.

Xu Yue watched from the side without saying a word.

When Grandpa scolds Dad, he has no right to interrupt.

Besides, being scolded and punished might actually be a good thing, as it might inspire one to be more courageous.

"Fuck off!"

Xu Chengyang finished scolding them and then chased them away.

I took some medicine and then went home.

"It's okay!"

Zhang Ruoxi inquired about the injuries of Xu Jiangming and his wife, and then spoke.

The injury isn't serious; it will heal in a few days.

However, Li Xiurong still didn't let Xu Yue into the kitchen, nor did she let Zhang Ruoxi into the kitchen.

The reason Zhang Ruoxi wasn't allowed in was because she was pregnant; how could she be allowed into the kitchen?

As for Xu Yue?

They had absolutely no faith in his cooking skills.

They didn't care and could just eat whatever they could find, but Zhang Ruoxi couldn't accept that.

They must be taken good care of.

She wasn't carrying one, but two.

If anything is slightly off, it means he is not fulfilling his responsibilities as a mother-in-law.

A few days later, Jing Guohua arrived.

“You’ve been more lenient this time than I expected,” Jing Guohua said. “Or rather, more lenient than anyone else expected.”

Is it mild?
maybe!
What else could they do? Could they possibly kill the Hong family father and son?
It is ultimately a society governed by the rule of law.

Well, the main problem is that Xu Yue never considered himself a member of the martial arts world.

He was used to obeying the law.

Some things are like Pandora's box; once opened, they are hard to contain.

If he has the will to kill this time, he will probably not be able to resist killing in the future.

Xu Yue didn't want that.

Besides, aren't there many cases like his uncle's?
Xu Yue knew that he was being watched by many people at the time, including possibly higher-ups.

However, his actions were not for show; he was simply acting in accordance with his own conscience.

"So what do you think I'll do?" Xu Yue asked with a smile. "Kill them?"

"It's conceivable that they might not kill him, but bankrupt him or something."

Jing Guohua said with a smile, "Back then, wasn't Chuanlai Hotel forced to close down because it offended Xu Yue?"

Although Hongyuan Group is much larger than Chuanlai Hotel.

With Xu Yue's current abilities, there's absolutely no problem; he doesn't even need to take action himself.

"Forget it!" Xu Yue said. "If Hongyuan Group goes bankrupt, I don't know how many people will lose their jobs, and how many more will be ruined by unfinished buildings."

Xu Yue has thought about all this?

No!

But that doesn't stop him from saying things in a more elegant way.

However, what he said was indeed true.

The bankruptcy of Hongyuan Group will definitely lead to many people losing their jobs, and at the same time, there will be unfinished buildings.

Jing Guohua's visit was naturally not about Xu Yueguang's matter.

Every time he comes, his main purpose is to get the protective jade talisman.

It's the same this time.

"These troublesome matters will be handed over to the Yuezhou Special Administration Bureau."

Xu Yue gave Jing Guohua a few more jade talismans to pass on.

This time, the Guangdong Special Administration Bureau did its part.

Xu Yue could not remain silent.

This way, if anything happens in the future, it will be much more convenient for him.

Besides, a few jade talismans are nothing to him; they only take a little time at most.

"Then I'll express my gratitude to the Special Administration Bureau in Yuezhou."

He did not refuse, nor would he refuse.

The Special Administration is in dire need of this kind of thing right now.

Unfortunately, how many could Xu Yue make by himself?
As for Zhang Ruoxi?
She is probably less likely to be pregnant now than before.

With Jing Guohua gone, Xu Yue's life returned to normal.

The formations on the academy's side are almost complete.

However, Xu Yue did not see Guo Huai.

"Guo Huai went to the county?" Xu Yue asked. "Did the environmental protection company take over the Shuangxi River project?"

“Received!” Guo Tianyou said. “Guo Huai planted some water hyacinths in the village pond for future use, and is now preparing to set up a turbidity-reducing formation in the section of the river that needs treatment.”

Xu Yue nodded.

“If Guo Huai can handle it, you can just keep an eye on it,” Xu Yue said. “For the first project, we need not only results, but also efficiency.”

Guo Tianyou nodded, naturally understanding Xu Yue's meaning.

If Guo Huai can't handle it, then he'll have to step in.

Guo Tianyou naturally had no objection to this.

It's only right to provide for one's own son.

Besides, he didn't think Guo Huai couldn't handle it.

He also inquired about the situation at Shuangxi River.

The source of pollution has been addressed, making remediation much easier.

“The renovation company along the two rivers in the county was taken over by Rongzhou Group,” Guo Tianyou said. “Tie Dong contacted me a few days ago, inviting me to set up a feng shui formation, but I was busy with things at the academy at the time and didn’t reply.”

He looked at Xu Yue as he spoke, clearly wanting to hear his opinion.

"If we can help, we should!" Xu Yue said. "The project's practical significance outweighs any potential profits."

"Ok!"

Guo Tianyou nodded.

He was well aware of Xu Yue's relationship with Rongzhou Group.

The farm's construction projects, as well as the villas in the village, were almost all contracted by Rongzhou Group.

Moreover, the price is much lower.

Of course, Guo Tianyou also had a very good impression of Tie Fumin.

The academy's formation is basically complete. Anything else needed will have to be added after the start of the semester.

The planned land has not been fully developed.

That's how much land a few hundred people can cultivate.

Relatively speaking, there are fewer.

After all, those trainees also have to learn other knowledge, unlike farm workers who spend almost all their time working in the fields.

Now we're just waiting for the college to start.

"I want to move the Academy of Agricultural Sciences there first."

After learning that the arrangements had been completed, Han Lingxue immediately approached Xu Yue.
