Returning to 84, hunting for wealth, one person feeding three families.

Outside the Savage Valley, in the dense forest.

Boss Lin and his eight men fled in a sorry state.

"Boss, we've suffered such a huge loss this time, Little Tiger's leg is broken, we can't just let this go!"

"That's right, boss. Ye Chen is too despicable. He set up a trap in the valley beforehand. Now that we're out of the valley, we might not be any less of a match for him!"

"Brother, the forest is well-hidden; why not set up an ambush again?"

"Shut up!"

Suddenly, Boss Lin roared, turned around, and said firmly.

"You've already lost once, aren't you still not satisfied?"

"I tricked him into running away just now; the same method might not work again!"

"Besides, that kid is incredibly clever. On the way back, he'll definitely make sure his two incompetent teammates show up while he stays hidden in the shadows."

"At that point, with that gun he's holding, if we show our faces, we're doomed!"

"We can't just let it go like that! Boss Lin, we all support you, you can't lead us to desert!" someone said, stamping their foot.

Boss Lin frowned and replied, "Who said we should just let it go? But this isn't an era of fighting and killing anymore. Want to deal with him? Why should we even need to lift a finger?"

"That gun he's carrying is a prohibited item; the police confiscated it long ago. Possessing it is a serious crime!"

"Once we get back, we'll report him! When the police come knocking, will we even need to lift a finger?"

"Besides, Ye Chen is amazing, but are the other people in Shuangshu Village this amazing too?"

"Why don't we go back and rest for a few days, wait until everyone has forgotten about this, and then come out and target the other people in Shuangshu Village, collecting some interest?"

"Wouldn't it be better to slowly erode Shuangshu Village?"

"Boss Lin is amazing, you're so smart!" exclaimed the subordinate who had just been shouting.

The others were even more impressed.

Times have changed; the martial arts world is no longer just about fighting and killing!

To kill someone with a borrowed knife, without shedding blood.

This is the true way!

……

Shuangshu Village, as the sun rises.

The villagers all rely on the fields for their livelihood, and they get up early in the morning to prepare for the busy farming season.

"Look, someone's coming out of the woods again!"

Ye Chen and his two companions pushed the cart with great fanfare.

Instantly, it attracted a lot of attention.

"So many wild boars? There must be more than a dozen, right?"

"I counted them, there were twenty-three wild boars in total. Ye Chen is really amazing!"

"I've never seen a hunter hunt so many at once in my life! This isn't hunting, it's like buying a whole crop!"

The villagers gathered around the cart, discussing the matter animatedly.

An excited voice suddenly came from the crowd.

"Last time we hunted a wolf, and they made us trade grain for meat. This time there are so many wild boars, does that mean we can celebrate the New Year again?"

Yup!

Ye Chen is known for his generosity!

Please beg him, maybe we'll get to eat meat again today!

The villagers' eyes lit up, and they were somewhat tempted.

A pound of grain for a pound of meat, what a bargain!

"This wild boar wasn't just mine alone. Besides, we had a tough time; we almost lost our lives in the old forest!"

"We're all family here, so here's the deal: anyone who wants more meat can buy it, one yuan per pound!"

Suddenly, Ye Chen took a step forward and said in a deep voice.

In an instant, the burning passion in everyone's hearts was doused with water!

One piece of meat per pound... This price is comparable to pork in the county.

Although wild boar meat is definitely tastier, no one has spare money, so of course we have to be frugal!

"If anyone wants one, they can register at Li Yan's house, and we will definitely deliver it to their door later."

Ye Chen didn't give them time to hesitate and turned to leave.

Once they reached a secluded spot, Li Yan scratched his forehead and asked.

"Brother Ye Chen, you killed a wolf last time, but you didn't get as much as you did this time. Why did you share the meat last time, but not this time?"

"Besides, we have over twenty pigs. Even if we were to take one out to divide, it would still build up some goodwill, wouldn't that be better?"

Ye Chen shook his head: "A small favor is appreciated, but a large one breeds resentment. I'm giving this advice to you and Brother Tian Cong today."

"If you send them meat every day, they'll just take it for granted and get used to taking advantage of you."

"If you suddenly stop delivering goods one day, you'll suddenly become the bad guy in their eyes!"

"A good reputation is important, but it also needs to be supported by prestige. The right approach is to combine kindness and strictness!"

"When the people from Heishan Village caused trouble last time, I stood up for them and gained prestige. Distributing meat at this time will help me build a good reputation."

"Delivering meat directly to your door is just flattery; the more you deliver it, the cheaper it becomes, and eventually it will become a weapon against you!"

Li Yan nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

Tian Cong was even more straightforward, patting Ye Chen's arm and saying, "Anyway, I'm sticking with you for life. Don't worry about anything, just do whatever you ask!"

"Then go borrow a tractor now. Keeping this meat around is just asking for trouble. Let's go straight to town to sell it, and then we can rest when we get back!"

Ye Chen waved his hand and gave the order, and Li Yan and Tian Cong immediately perked up.

"It's great to be in the city! Now that we're in the city, I want to eat fried dough sticks and soy milk!"

"I made some money selling pork, and I'm going to buy some things for my parents!"

The two hit it off immediately and quickly delivered the cart to Ye Chen's house before turning around and leaving to make arrangements.

Ye Chen had just seen the three people off when the voices of three women came from behind him.

"Brother Ye Chen, you're back!"

"Wow, so many wild boars? You've struck it rich, kid?"

"Brother Chen, are you alright?"

Hearing the commotion, the three women ran out of the room.

Seeing Ye Chen's harvest, the three of them were completely dumbfounded.

"I'm starting to doubt whether you're still the same Ye Chen I knew before," Qian Jiali said, still in a daze.

These words caused Ye Chen to shudder.

"Brother Ye Chen is definitely still the same Brother Ye Chen, otherwise why would he remember us!" Tian Xiaohui explained.

Ye Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Cough cough..."

Thinking of going to the city, Ye Chen coughed lightly. Since marrying the three women, it seemed that he had only taken them to the city a handful of times.

Selling these wild boars will net at least a thousand yuan.

Having money for my wife to spend is a good way to save myself the trouble of dealing with three people at once!

"I'm planning to go to the city to sell pork, who can help me with the accounting?"

"I'll pay you wages then, and I'll cover all your food and drinks!"

"You said it yourself, all food and drinks included, we'll decide what to eat and drink, right?" Luo Ling immediately perked up and asked.

Ye Chen nodded.

Now, the three women couldn't sit still any longer.

Qian Jiali and Luo Ling went to the city a while ago to work.

After leaving the Longevity Pharmacy, I had no spare money and didn't dare to wander around!

Today is different. Ye Chen has hunted so many wild boars. If he sells them, he'll become a big tycoon!

With such a bulging wallet to pay the bill, what are you waiting for?

No woman can resist the temptation of shopping. At that moment, the three women looked at each other and expressed their opinions.

"I'm good at accounting, and I'm even doing the accounting for the community. I'm taking the day off today just to do the accounting for you, so you won't suffer any losses!"

"I...I know how to treat illnesses. If we get to the city and any of you have a headache or fever, I'll treat you!"

"Well... I know where there's good food and fun things to do in town. I'll take you there!"

The three women talked and then went back into the house to tidy up.

Seeing the three of them so excited, Ye Chen's lips curled up slightly.

I will make up for what I owed you in my past life, little by little!

Don't worry, give me some time!
