The village beauty and me!

"Chen Huan, don't do anything foolish."

"That Ma Yanping is now a well-known investor in the county."

"You're doing just fine now, don't make any more pointless sacrifices," Zhao Jingjing quickly comforted Chen Huan after hearing his words.

Chen Huan slowly withdrew his murderous gaze, a cold smile appearing on his face. "Of course I won't do anything foolish."

"Really? That's good." Zhao Jingjing breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Chen Huan then asked, "Isn't he from the provincial capital? Since the illegal coal mine was shut down, why didn't he leave?"

Zhao Jingjing shook her head, "I don't know about this kind of thing, after all, I'm just a college student."

"If it weren't for Ma Yanping's recent big investments in the county town, which made him a prominent figure there and caused quite a stir, I wouldn't have known so much."

"Then tell me anything else you know." Chen Huan's gaze became increasingly calm.

Zhao Jingjing thought about it carefully, "There's nothing else. Before the holiday, I heard from a classmate that he opened a pretty big antique market in the county town."

"In addition, they have invested in the development of a new housing project, which is said to be the highest-end project in the surrounding counties, and it will be topped out soon."

"Really? Murder and arson really do bring wealth and power," Chen Huan muttered under his breath.

Ever since he regained consciousness after receiving the inheritance, he has kept the matter of avenging his brother in his heart.

I haven't taken any action for so many days, trying my best not to overthink things, just to improve my and Li Chunlan's living conditions first.

Now they have a savings of 100,000 to 200,000 yuan, and they have no worries about food and clothing. It is only natural that the matter of revenge is put on the agenda.

Unfortunately, he didn't know many people, so he could only try his luck and ask Zhao Jingjing, who was also studying at a university in the county.

In retrospect, the harvest was quite good.

His enemy, Ma Yanping, was still in the county town and doing very well.

But his good days were about to end, along with his life.

Chen Huan's expression was unpredictable, while Zhao Jingjing squatted to the side, not daring to utter a sound.

A moment later, Chen Huan stubbed out his cigarette on the stone and abruptly stood up.

"When fishing, focus on the task at hand first."

With the big fox gone to cause trouble, Chen Huan went to check the pool.

After half a golden pill was thrown in, schools of fish gradually began to gather, just as usual.

Seeing that it was getting late, Chen Huan quickly scooped some out and placed them in the truck bed of the pickup truck for cultivation.

He then called Qiao Lingling.

  

Qiao Lingling was a little worried when she learned that the delivery would be two hours late today.

He pressed on over the phone, "Chen Huan, is there a problem with your aquaculture area?"

"You said before that the supply of fish, shrimp, and crabs would last for a while, and now there's trouble after only a few days?"

Chen Huan quickly explained, "Don't worry, it was just a small hiccup, but it's been resolved now."

"The fish supply can be maintained long-term. The volume of shipments may not increase significantly, but it will not be interrupted. I assure you."

Xiao Lingling breathed a sigh of relief on the other end of the phone, "That's for the best, so as not to affect my plans."

"What plan?" Chen Huan asked curiously.

"It's nothing, just remember to deliver the fish on time." Qiao Lingling hung up the phone immediately.

Chen Huan didn't bother to interfere further, and sat down in the shadow of the pickup truck, quietly lost in thought.

Zhao Jingjing walked briskly, humming a song as she picked some inconspicuous wild fruits from the grass by the water.

Finally, it held it in its palm and ran over like it was a precious treasure.

"Boss Chen, try some, I just washed it in water."

"Was it washed with water?" Chen Huan subconsciously recalled the scene of the big fox urinating upstream earlier, and felt inexplicably resistant.

However, seeing Zhao Jingjing's expectant look, he couldn't bear to refuse, so he reached out and grabbed two at random, then popped them into his mouth.

These are common in the countryside, such as wild grapes, jujubes, and wild strawberries.

It tastes just like it did when I was a child, and it has a unique flavor.

However, the degree of ripeness varies, and wild fruits are small and slightly sour, so they are not perfect.

As Chen Huan spoke, he pointed out the shortcomings.

Zhao Jingjing snorted, withdrew her hand, leaned against the car next to her, and put the food in her mouth.

She also complained, "They've been busy all day, bringing it down for you to eat, and you're still being picky."

"Do you know why they're called wild fruits? It's because they grow naturally, without any fertilizer or thinning. They're purely natural, and it's good enough that they're even edible for you."

"What makes you feel superior for eating wild fruit? This is just how it tastes."

Chen Huan retorted, somewhat unconvinced, "What's wrong with wild fruit? Without ambition and dreams, what's the difference between it and a salted fish?"

"Let me tell you, the things that nature cultivates are the best in the world."

"If it were me, I could definitely give these wild fruits a new lease on life, transform them, and turn them into the sweetest food in the world."

Zhao Jingjing spat out a jujube pit, curled her lip, and mocked, "Being a boss is different, isn't it? Such wild ideas."

"If these wild fruits could really be cultivated to the top quality you claim, would you even have a chance?"

"If you can really cultivate it, it's like you've found the key to wealth, and you'll make money hand over fist."

Chen Huan blinked. "What do you mean?"

Zhao Jingjing smiled, "I really admire your incredibly thirsty attitude towards knowledge."

"Don't you know? Nowadays, people are pursuing a natural and ecological lifestyle. I like to eat vegetables and fruits that grow in the wild."

"It's a pity that these things are produced in small quantities and are hard to come by. Moreover, there are not many varieties that can actually be served on the dining table or sold in supermarkets, so the prices have naturally skyrocketed to an outrageously high level."

Chen Huan understood. "Things are valued for their scarcity, that's true."

"Do you think it's a good idea for me to cultivate these wild fruits by the river?"

Zhao Jingjing covered her mouth and laughed, "You're really good at raising fish, but I doubt you'd be able to cultivate wild fruits."

"Besides, since you've already thought of this, why can't you take a longer-term view?"

"The area along the river is not very big; it's mostly rocky beaches and sandy land, so not much can grow there."

"If you really want to do it, you have to go to the forest, where the soil is fertile and wild fruits grow more easily."

Chen Huan's eyes lit up, and he patted Zhao Jingjing's leg. "No wonder you've gone to university, you do have some ideas."

Zhao Jingjing punched him. "Don't you have legs? You're always taking advantage of me."

Now that he had the idea, Chen Huan decided to conduct an experiment first.

In fact, he didn't know whether the Golden Elixir could successfully cultivate these wild fruits that were of poor quality, small in size, and had an unsatisfactory taste.

Seeing that Zhao Jingjing had almost finished eating the wild fruit in her hand.

They quickly reached out to grab some seeds, wanting to keep some to take home and cultivate.

"If you want to eat it, pick it yourself. Weren't you complaining just now?" Zhao Jingjing immediately covered herself up tightly.

"Look how stingy you are."

"I'll eat the pulp, can I have the pit?" Chen Huan stretched his big hand directly to Zhao Jingjing's mouth.

Zhao Jingjing had a strange expression on her face. She slowly spat out the jujube pit from her mouth, and it landed in Chen Huan's palm.

The two locked eyes, and the atmosphere became somewhat ambiguous.
