Era: Starting with the struggle to refuse being taken advantage of

Chapter 150 Bragging

"Oh dear, you guys arrived too late to see it. That wild boar was huge."

"Pig's blood was spilled all over the ground, which looked extremely frightening."

"I really admire Brother Peng's ability to take down such a huge creature."

"Thanks to him, our family of eight actually got eight ounces of wild boar meat, so we can have a treat tonight."

The one who said this was none other than Ding Jiayong, who had been assigned by Wang Fucheng.

From initial disdain to yesterday's heartfelt admiration, and now to today's complete submission, Ding Jiayong's dramatic transformation occurred in just three days.

Now he calls me "Brother Peng" so fluently.

Wang Zidong glanced at Ding Jiayong with annoyance, looking at him as if he were an idiot, and said:
"What's the point of having a feast? Wild boar meat can't compare to domestic pork."

"Especially the pork cooked by Brother Peng, the taste is absolutely amazing. Didn't you hear about it yesterday?"

"In comparison, it is extremely difficult to cook wild boar meat well. It requires not only various seasonings but also exquisite techniques."

“My family doesn’t have a chef like that, so the food I make definitely won’t taste as good as what Brother Peng makes.”

Thinking about it, that seemed to make sense. Ding Jiayong nodded blankly and said:
"That seems to be the case."

"No, I have to go back later and tell my family not to wait for me to come home for dinner."

"We only remember that wild boar meat is a rare delicacy, but we don't remember that it is also extremely difficult to cook wild boar meat well."

"Brother Peng is really amazing. He took down such a big wild boar without hesitation and carried it back all by himself."

"When Wang Zhong came in this morning, he didn't have his usual grumpy face, which was a rare occurrence. He was clearly also deeply shocked."

“I guess he initially thought that the 300 jin was just an exaggerated weight by Brother Peng, but he didn’t expect that it was not only the correct weight, but even a little overweight.”

Just like some people like to exaggerate the weight of a five-ounce fish into a one-pound fish, or a one-pound fish into a five-pound fish, it's perfectly normal to brag.

Especially after hearing that Wang Chengpeng had killed the wild boar all by himself, Wang Zhong felt that the wild boar was probably just average.
But he never expected to be slapped hard by the harsh reality, and it's no wonder that even his icy demeanor crumbled.

Listening to Ding Jiayong's praise, Wang Zidongfei didn't find anything wrong with it; on the contrary, he agreed wholeheartedly, saying:
"It's no exaggeration to say that Brother Peng is amazing."

"Most importantly, Brother Peng is honest and reliable. You will never suffer any loss if you work with him."

"Don't think that's all Brother Peng is capable of. He knows a lot more than that. You'll be surprised someday."

"Don't even mention wild boars, even a tiger would be taken down by my brother Peng."

Cough, cough, ...

Wang Chengpeng coughed deliberately to interrupt Wang Zidong's wild and outrageous words. If he let him keep going, he figured he'd be able to tear an elephant apart with his bare hands.

Seeing the person in question right in front of him, Wang Zidong showed no embarrassment whatsoever; on the contrary, he greeted Wang Chengpeng warmly.
"Brother Peng, you've finally arrived."

"Thanks to you, our family also got some wild boar meat."

"We can have a little meat tomorrow at noon and try what wild game is like."

Seeing that Wang Zidong didn't understand what he meant, Wang Chengpeng glared at him irritably and said:

"It was a fluke, just a fluke."

"As for what can take down a tiger, don't make things up." "Those who know will understand you're joking, but those who don't will think I'm arrogant."

Wang Zidong gave Wang Chengpeng a look that said, "I understand," and said with a smile:
“I understand, Brother Peng is just being modest and humble. I will try to tell you the truth when you are not around in the future.”

Wang Chengpeng: ...? ? ?
He decided to ignore Wang Zidong, that troublemaker, and go home to deal with his own affairs first.

Completely different from the disheveled state of the morning, the family homestead has now returned to its peaceful and serene state.

Not only that, but people have already started digging the foundation, which means that Wang Chengpeng's house is being built little by little.

Considering the construction period, even with more manpower, it will still take at least one or two months.

However, compared to the several years that Wang Tieshan initially mentioned for building the house, this was much, much faster.

After warmly greeting the neighbors who were helping him, Wang Chengpeng didn't hesitate and picked up a kitchen knife to get to work.

The cleaver from yesterday had been chipped and worn down, so a new one was used, its sharp blade gleaming coldly.

Before Wang Chengpeng could even begin, his father, Wang Tieshan, walked over, pointed to a large aluminum basin beside him, and said:

"Son, this is the wild boar meat that the village allocated to our family."

"Although it's only ten pounds, it's all from the best parts, so it's still acceptable."

In fact, Wang Tieshan felt he couldn't accept it at all; he just felt he was losing out.

Considering that he was comforting his son, he could only say nice things.

However, Wang Tieshan was unaware that Wang Chengpeng had already made up for the losses from handing over the wild boars elsewhere, so he wouldn't care about this little bit of pork.

Whether or not he joins the hunting team is not important; what matters is that Wang Chengpeng is now quite renowned.
Once the gun license is obtained, they will be able to possess civilian firearms such as hunting rifles. Anyone who wants to mess with Wang Chengpeng's family should think twice about their own strength.

In a sense, the safety of Wang Chengpeng's family has been greatly improved as a result.

Wherever Wang Chengpeng is, probably no one will dare to steal anything, unless they think their skin is thicker than a wild boar's.

Wang Chengpeng, who had gotten a great deal, was naturally happy and immediately said with a smile, "It's just a little bit of wild boar meat, Dad, don't be so stingy."

"We'll take what we're entitled to, and we won't touch what we're not entitled to."

"Alright, I still need to prepare dinner for everyone, so don't waste my time here."

Me, stingy? That's not what you said when you asked me to sell wild boar piglets.

Seeing Wang Chengpeng's casual demeanor, Wang Tieshan knew that he genuinely didn't care about the wild boar meat, and immediately felt much better, continuing with his work.

Once the land for building the house is prepared, it's time to start construction.

Especially now that the foundation is being laid, nothing can be taken lightly, from the materials to the location.

……

After a busy day, everyone left, and it was time for Wang Chengpeng to keep watch alone again.

This time, however, even though Liu Chunhua felt sorry for her son, she couldn't bring herself to suggest changing the night watchman.
Wang Chengpeng has already proven with his abilities that he has the ability to keep watch!
In fact, no one could remain unmoved after seeing the wild boar that Wang Chengpeng had killed.

Those who had a grudge against Wang Chengpeng, in particular, subconsciously shrank their necks, thinking to themselves that their necks were not as resistant to being cut as wild boars, and that it took cutting until the blade was bent to make such a big cut.
