A god-tier fishing spot, anglers lined up to give me money.

Yang Tianming was speechless after hearing this, and his face turned bright red.

Lai Feng's eyes darted around, as if she wanted to say something, but seeing Yang Guocheng's ashen face, she didn't dare to speak.

"Village Chief," Yang Hao, who had been mostly silent, tentatively asked, "Are you... willing to accept this?"

"Others make 1 a day, and you only make 2520 after a whole morning of work."

"Stop testing me," Yang Guocheng turned to look at him, his gaze piercing.

"Let me tell you, I'm completely willing. Xiao Qi helps me make money, and I'm not only willing, I'm also satisfied!"

And you? You haven't even made any money yet, and all you know is eyeing other people's pockets. Have you ever thought about why they should include you in their lives?

Yang Guocheng pointed towards the reservoir, his finger trembling slightly with anger: "I'm making this clear today. I won't stop anyone from opening a farmhouse inn, as long as the ingredients are fresh, the prices are fair, and they don't ruin the reputation. I, Yang Guocheng, will fully support them. But..."

He emphasized his words and looked at the three people:

"Go back and tell the others: anyone who dares to disrupt the overall situation, anyone who dares to trip up Xiao Qi, I, Yang Guocheng, will be the first to fight them. Don't blame me for being ruthless then!"

Seeing the village chief's resolute attitude, the three knew that dividing the money was impossible.

The courtyard was quiet for a while, with only the rustling of camphor tree leaves in the wind.

"Alright," Yang Guocheng waved his hand, his tone softening, "Everyone, disperse. Go back and think it over carefully, talk to your younger family members, and come find me when you've figured it out."

"Sigh..." Yang Tianming shook his head, turned around and left.

Lai Feng followed behind him, took two steps, looked back, bit her lip, and then left as well.

Seeing this, Yang Hao had no reason to stay.

Yang Guocheng watched their figures disappear into the alleyway and let out a long sigh.

He sat down in the chair, picked up the teapot, and took a sip from the spout.

The tea has gone cold and tastes a bit bitter.

He sighed inwardly.

This matter is unlikely to be resolved so easily...

The three arrived at a corner where a dozen or so elderly people were squatting. They saw the three return.

Yang happy, who was leading the group, smiled and asked, "So, what did the village chief say?"

The three exchanged glances, and Yang Tianming spoke up: "That kid Yang Qi opened a fishing spot at the reservoir and earned over 7 yuan a day. Those people came to eat because they wanted to start a farm stay, and the village chief agreed..."

"What? Seventeen thousand?" Yang happy's eyes revealed undisguised greed upon hearing this.

Lai Feng poured cold water on the idea, saying, "Don't be so joking. The village chief said we shouldn't even think about getting any money from the reservoir; it belongs to Yang Qi alone. He told us to just honestly run our agritourism business and entertain them."

He paused for a moment, then repeated the village chief's original words: "The village chief said that it's okay to run a farmhouse restaurant, as long as the ingredients are fresh, the prices are fair, and it won't damage the reputation."

I've decided to find him, but whoever dares to disrupt the overall situation, whoever dares to trip up Yang Qi, Yang Guocheng will be the first to fight them. Don't blame me for being ruthless then!

"Hmph, who does he think he is, Yang Guocheng? The money from the reservoir must be divided, and even if it's not divided, the contracted amount must be increased. After all, it's a reservoir that everyone dug together."

"That's right, that's right."

"That night, we went to the village chief together. If things didn't go well, we'd make a scene," Yang happy said.

"Yes, it's noisy."

Count me in.

"We must divide the money; we absolutely must divide the money."

……

Yang Qi was unaware of what had happened in the village.

I rode my electric tricycle to town and withdrew the money.

The whole process took less than an hour.

Back at Yang Guocheng's house, the old man was sitting on a chair in the yard, smoking, his brows furrowed, seemingly lost in thought.

"Grandpa Village Chief, the money is back." Yang Qi handed over the money wrapped in a plastic bag.

Yang Guocheng took it, didn't count it, pulled out 520 yuan from it, and stuffed it into Yang Qi's hand.

"Grandpa Village Chief, this..."

"Take it." Yang Guocheng's tone left no room for negotiation. "You've been helping to greet the guests and running around, so I can't let you work for nothing. 520, round it up to 2000, I'll take it. You've already made a profit."

"But……"

"Take it!" Yang Guocheng glared at him. "If you don't take it, how will I keep my agritainment business running? Your grandma will say I'm being inconsiderate."

Yang Qi opened his mouth, but seeing the old man's expression, he knew he couldn't refuse, so he had no choice but to give in.

"Alright, thank you, Grandpa Village Chief."

"Go ahead, go ahead, there are still a lot of people at your reservoir."

"Okay, here's your key back."

"Remember to come home early tonight."

Yang Qi carefully pocketed the money and jogged up the mountain to leave.

Watching Yang Qi's departing figure, Yang Guocheng ultimately didn't say anything. "Ah, Xiao Qi, you help the village find a way to survive, this old man won't let you down..."

Before we even reached the reservoir, we could hear laughter coming from the shore.

The anglers on the shore all had smiles on their faces. Some were filming videos with their phones, some were battling with the fish, and some were bragging to the people next to them about their experience.

Yang Qi, who had returned, moved a chair to a shady spot and sat down, looking at the water with a bored expression.

50 people, 50 poles, rising and falling in turn.

He was too lazy to control the fish right now, so he let them play by themselves.

After sitting for a short while, I heard a creaking sound from next to me.

Yang Qi turned his head and saw Gu Cai Pang dragging his fishing box over, plopping down next to Yang Qi, his whole body trembling.

"Boss Yang, it's no fun sitting alone. Let's chat."

Gu Cai Pang smiled and took out a bag of sunflower seeds from the fishing box, tore it open, and poured half of it into Yang Qi's hand.

Yang Qi looked at the half-full handful of sunflower seeds in his hand and couldn't help but laugh: "You're not going fishing anymore?"

"rest."

Gu Cai Pang tore open the package, cracked open a sunflower seed, and said in a serious tone, "Fishing, fishing, whether you catch anything or not isn't important, what's important is to be happy. Eating sunflower seeds, feeling the breeze, and chatting with people, how comfortable is that?"

Here, have some sunflower seeds.

Yang Qi thought this made a lot of sense, so he reached out his hand and Gu Cai Pang poured out some melon seeds.

They started cracking them open. "I must say, these sunflower seeds smell pretty good. Thanks."

"Don't be so polite, they all taste the same," Gu Cai Pang said nonchalantly.

"It's different." Yang Qi kowtowed very seriously. "Nothing my own smells as good as yours."

"Hahaha..." Gu Caipang was amused by his words, and his whole body trembled with laughter.

The two sat there, cracking sunflower seeds, watching the bobbing floats on the water, and chatting.

Yang Qi tilted his head to look at the fat man's skin and couldn't help but ask:

"Hey Fatty, your skin looks so fair and smooth, you don't look like a fisherman, are you a newbie?"

"Hiss... Don't call me brother. I haven't graduated from university yet. I should be calling you brother."

Yang Qi was taken aback for a moment: "What year are you in?"

"I'm a senior next semester, and I'm bored at home during the summer vacation, so I'm going out for a stroll."

Gu Cai Pang spat out the sunflower seed shells in his mouth and continued, "As I said before, fishing is secondary; the main thing is to enjoy the scenery. Look at this reservoir, the mountains and waters are so beautiful; just sitting here makes me feel good."

"So you didn't catch a single fish today because you were too busy looking at the scenery?"

Yang Qi glanced at his empty fish basket and teased, "Fatty, tell me honestly, are you out of the running?"

"No!" Gu Caipang raised his voice, "This reservoir is the first reservoir where I've ever caught a fish."

Yang Qi's lips twitched: "Then why is your fish basket empty?"

"Just let it go," Gu Cai Pang said, shrugging. "If you let it go, it'll be gone."

Yang Qi was silent for two seconds, then gave a thumbs up. "Noble. If you don't want it, you can go back to the fish. I'm not keeping track of it now."

"Those paltry sums are beneath me!"

"So, if that's the case, your family must be quite wealthy?"

"So-so, third in the world."

Upon hearing this, Yang Qi nearly choked on his sunflower seeds. He looked up at the sky and pointed, saying, "Fatty, look! There are cows flying in the sky!"

"Where?" Gu Cai Pang actually raised his head and squinted as he looked around in the sky.

"Pfft..." Yang Qi couldn't help but burst out laughing. "Hahaha, that's hilarious!"

Gu Cai Pang was a little confused by the laughter. He scratched his head and asked, "Boss Yang, what are you laughing at?"

"No, no, no." Yang Qi suppressed a laugh and changed the subject: "It's still early, are you really not going fishing?"

Gu Cai Pang rolled her eyes and said speechlessly, "I'm fat, not stupid, understand?"

"I understand, I understand." Yang Qi nodded repeatedly, but the smile on his face didn't diminish at all.

They laughed for a while and felt that they got along very well.

Having laughed enough, Yang Qi ate the last few sunflower seeds in his hand and asked again:

"You're really not going fishing anymore?"
