The news that Ye Chen's family had bought a farm tricycle quickly spread throughout the entire village!

Many people even came to visit.

There were even people scrambling to borrow the car, but Luo Ling kicked them all out!

Suddenly, the once quiet courtyard became much more lively!

"You guys have finally made it through. You've suffered a lot following Ye Chen, but now he's finally turned over a new leaf and hasn't let you down!"

"If you ask me, you deserve it. Ye Chen made things difficult for you a lot back then, so he should treat you well!"

"After all the hardships, life is finally getting better; I truly envy what I have now!"

Many women surrounded Xiaohui and her two companions, recounting their past hardships.

However, when talking about the present, his eyes were full of envy!

Ye Chen is as serious as he was before.

Among the three women, Tian Xiaohui and her companions are the ones who can best understand the bitterness in their hearts!

"By the way, Xiaohui, Jiali, and Luoling, let me tell you, men turn bad as soon as they get money!"

"You guys better keep a close eye on Ye Chen. Don't let him pick up bad habits from others. If he goes back to what he did before, then there'll be no hope left!"

A nosy auntie spoke up to remind her, and Qian Jiali immediately frowned slightly before quickly denying it with a smile.

"Ye Chen isn't that kind of person!"

But despite saying that, Qian Jiali had a knot in her heart.

Ye Chen has a history of drinking and gambling. What if he picks up those bad habits again?

Besides, Ye Chen is a rich man now. If someone takes the initiative to seduce him, what if Ye Chen can't resist?

However, Qian Jiali did not reveal her thoughts to outsiders, keeping them buried deep in her heart!

……

Early the next morning.

Ye Chen made an appointment with Tian Cong and Li Yan to go into the mountains again.

The weather forecast said that heavy snow would come the day after tomorrow, so the three of them planned to hunt some more wild game before the mountain was closed!

"Ye Chen, if you ask me, you're already so rich, why do you have to do this kind of thing yourself?"

"Why don't you just hire a few old hunters to work for you?" Tian Cong joked to Ye Chen, carrying a hunting rifle.

Li Yan then explained in a serious tone, "My dad said that some things only have meaning if you do them yourself!"

"Otherwise, if you just eat whatever's readily available, you'll become useless!"

"Li Yan is right. I've been staying at home these past few days, so I need to get out and stretch my muscles sometimes!" Ye Chen said with a smile.

As they spoke, the group had already arrived in the old forest.

Under the shade of the trees, the three men's attitudes immediately became much more serious.

"Once we're in the forest, don't say a word. Just follow me!" Ye Chen waved to the two of them and said.

Then he led the two of them deeper into the old forest!

A previous fire drove many animals deep into the old forest.

Fortunately, after several months of recuperation, the old forest gradually came back to life.

Amidst the ruins, signs of life are emerging; beneath the black charcoal, many Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms have already sprouted!

"In a few more years, those Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms will be incredibly valuable. This fire has completely cleansed the forest, and in a few years, we'll likely see a major outbreak!"

Ye Chen had once been at his lowest point, so he naturally understood the saying that after hardship comes happiness.

Upon hearing this, Tian Cong and Li Yan nodded silently, their hearts filled with many emotions.

The three were lucky; they didn't go far before they spotted a wild boar.

Tian Cong immediately became interested and volunteered!

A single shot from a distance hit the boar, and it fell to the ground!

Seeing their prey die, Tian Cong and Li Yan rushed over. But just as they drew their daggers and were about to cut the wild boar in half, a commotion suddenly came from behind them!

"Be careful!"

Ye Chen remained vigilant and was the first to notice the danger. His expression darkened as he spoke up to warn them.

The moment he spoke, he had already drawn his hunting rifle!

Then, another wild boar emerged from behind the low bushes!

Compared to the wild boar that Tian Cong had just hunted, this one appeared to be much larger.

Seeing his comrade injured, his eyes turned red, and he rushed towards Tian Cong in the instant he was ready to sacrifice himself!

Its massive size gives people an invisible sense of oppression.

Tian Cong was stunned by what he saw, and for a moment he even forgot to react, and didn't even have time to dodge!

boom!

At the critical moment, thanks to Ye Chen's shot that brought down the wild boar, Tian Cong's life was saved!

The moment the gunshot rang out, Tian Cong's body trembled, and he finally came to his senses.

Then, panting heavily, he raised his head and gave Ye Chen a grateful look.

"Huff huff huff... Ye Chen, if it weren't for you just now..."

"Alright, be careful. You haven't been in the mountains for too long; you've even forgotten the rules!"

Ye Chen spoke up to remind him and went forward to check.

The wild boar that appeared next weighed over 300 kilograms.

With both pigs combined, it was definitely a very good harvest!

"There are still many dangers lurking in the old forest. Let's figure out how to carry the wild boar back first!"

Ye Chen immediately made the arrangements, and the three of them worked together to carry the wild boar carcass and head out of the old forest!

evening.

Ye Chen and the other two took turns carrying the two wild boars out.

Upon arriving at the village entrance, I instantly attracted the attention of many people!

"That wild boar is huge! I wonder how many years it's lived. It must have ruined a lot of crops. Ye Chen, you're really lucky to have such a harvest just by casually strolling around the mountains!"

"Who says otherwise? We went into the mountains a few days ago and didn't see a single hair. How come people are so different?"

Many of the village's old hunters, now with nothing to do, couldn't help but feel envious of Ye Chen's harvest.

Seeing the crowd gathering, Ye Chen's eyes lit up. Thinking of his plans for next year, he decided to give everyone a heads-up.

"Brother Wang, Brother Li, you two are too kind. Everyone knows how many prey you've hunted since you were kids!"

"By the way, you two have been in the mountains for a long time and know a lot of people. I'd like to ask you about the approximate number of veteran hunters in all the villages around this county town."

Ye Chen took the initiative to step forward and start a conversation.

Now that he has an unusual status, in response to such a statement, Brother Wang and Brother Li immediately stood up and spoke up.

"Ye Chen, what's the matter?"

"If you ever find a profitable business opportunity, don't forget about us. We may not have much skill, but we're all strong enough to make sure you get things done perfectly!"

Ye Chen nodded and said directly, "I plan to do some small business next year, buying and selling medicinal herbs."

"So I'm hoping Brother Wang and Brother Li can introduce me to some herbs. If any experienced hunters find any, they can bring them to me to sell."

"Since we've just opened and we're from the same village, I can't guarantee anything else, but I promise you won't suffer any losses."

"If everyone is willing to do me the honor, I can raise the price by 20%!"
