Upon hearing Lin Chuan's words, He Youcai was immediately shaken.

He turned his head stiffly, staring intently at the boy in front of him who had a half-smile, and a trace of fear arose in his heart.

He really misjudged Lin Chuan before.

This kid is not some weak and helpless city boy at all; he's a ruthless devil who eats people without spitting out the bones!

"What...what do you want?"

He Youcai clenched his teeth tightly and squeezed out a sentence through his trembling teeth.

"It's very simple."

Lin Chuan smiled and took a step back, then shouted, "Captain He just said that these two hooligans were purely greedy. Since that's the case, then the brigade will handle this matter. To ensure the smooth construction of our Guan family's house, if even one brick is missing from this pile, or if there's even the slightest mishap, we won't go after anyone else, we'll go straight to you, Captain He, for an explanation! Folks, what do you think of this?!"

"Reasonable!"

"That makes perfect sense!"

The surrounding villagers immediately started making a fuss.

Upon hearing this, He Youcai was so angry he almost vomited blood.

Lin Chuan's move to turn the tables, while clearing him of suspicion, effectively bound him to the Guan family's cause.

They even made him, a dignified captain, a free security guard for the Guan family's red bricks!

"Okay... I promise you!"

He Youcai could only clench his fists and grit his teeth, swallowing his anger.

He whirled around to the two officers who were watching the commotion and yelled angrily, "Put these two disgraceful bastards down and lock them in the brigade's cowshed for three days to reflect on their actions!"

Sun Ergou and Ma Laizi were initially quite happy to be released, but when they realized that they had offended He Youcai, they broke out in a cold sweat.

"Captain He, please listen to me..."

After being hung up all night, Sun Ergou's limbs were numb. He crawled over to He Youcai, intending to cling to He Youcai's leg and play the victim, but was kicked away by He Youcai the next second.

"Get out of my way! There's nothing to talk about between us! You'd better go and reflect on your actions!"

After dealing with those two foolish thieves, He Youcai suddenly felt that he had completely lost face in public!

In an attempt to regain some semblance of dignity, he abruptly turned around, sneering at Lin Chuan: "Lin family brat, don't get too cocky! I'm not getting involved in the red brick issue, but the deed for those ten acres of gravelly land on the west slope is signed in black and white! If you don't finish tilling the land and planting wheat within three days, your Guan family will be starving by the end of the year!"

Upon hearing He Youcai say this, the surrounding villagers immediately showed sympathetic looks.

Everyone in the village knows about that gravel area, and not only do they know it, but people from other communities also know about it.

That piece of land is not suitable for growing crops at all!

He Youcai's move to undermine their advantage was truly ruthless and vicious!

But to everyone's surprise, Lin Chuan not only didn't panic, but exaggeratedly slapped his forehead: "Hey Captain He, I almost forgot about this if you hadn't brought it up! Three days is too long. We Guan family members are always efficient workers. We almost finished turning over those ten acres of gravelly land yesterday evening and even sowed the wheat seeds!"

"What?!" He Youcai frowned slightly.

But then, as if he had heard a fairy tale, he couldn't help but grin and burst into laughter.

"Lin Chuan, Lin Chuan, even if you're going to brag, you should at least think it through! You think you few can turn over ten acres of rocky land in half a day? And plant wheat? If you can even manage that, I, He Youcai, will swallow all the stones in that field whole today!"

"You said it yourself!!" Hearing this, Guan Siya couldn't help but jump out excitedly.

"Let's go! Everyone, let's go to Xishan Gully and see how Captain He swallowed stones whole!"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding villagers, surprised by the spectacle, immediately followed the Guan family towards Xishan Gully in a large group.

He Youcai snorted coldly and followed behind with his hands behind his back and a pigeon-toed gait.

He was convinced that once they arrived, he would be able to completely expose Lin Chuan's lies and thoroughly humiliate the Guan family.

That way, we can get our revenge for the humiliation we just suffered!

However, when everyone climbed over the hill and arrived at the rocky ground, they all seemed to be frozen in place, as if they had been put under a spell.

"Hiss~~"

A collective gasp of astonishment rang out from the crowd.

He Youcai's sneer froze instantly, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

What was once a barren wasteland filled with hard rocks has now been transformed into a large expanse of flat, soft, and fragrant black soil!

The large stones and pebbles that were originally buried in the ground were all neatly picked out and piled up on the edge of the field.

But what truly chilled them to the bone, what they felt was like a miracle, was...

On the newly turned black soil, a dense layer of fuzzy, lush green wheat seedlings had already begun to sprout.

Overnight, the Guan family not only almost turned over all the rocky ground, but even the wheat they planted sprouted!

The wheat is growing even better than the most fertile irrigated land in the village!

"This, this is impossible! This is absolutely impossible! It's unbelievable!"

He Youcai couldn't help but widen his eyes and step forward, then couldn't help but rub his eyes.

However, even after seeing the situation clearly, he still couldn't believe what he was seeing.

This caused quite a stir among the villagers, who looked at the Guan family as if they were gods.

"My goodness! Guan Yu! What kind of deity did you invite to descend to earth?"

"Yeah! Everyone says this land isn't good for farming! But the crops here look better than in other types of land!"

"Yeah, yeah! This is really something else, what on earth is going on?"

Faced with the shocked gazes of the crowd, Guan Sanya looked at Lin Chuan with some worry, unlike the cheers of the other girls.

However, Lin Chuan remained calm and composed, then turned around and respectfully made a gesture towards Lin Hai.

"Fellow villagers, there are no gods or immortals here. It's all thanks to my father, Professor Lin, who mastered the soil improvement technology from the Soviet Union, as well as some wheat seed germination methods! This knowledge is the primary productive force!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Hai, who was standing there, was taken aback.

He had just gotten up when he came out and saw that the two people hanging from the tree were gone. Instead, a large crowd was coming this way, and he followed Guan Hongying.

However, he immediately realized what was happening.

He quickly straightened his back, put his hands behind his back, raised his chin slightly, and even his gold-rimmed glasses shimmered with wisdom in the morning light.

He had the air of a profound and unfathomable grandmaster!
