The Billion-Value Lands Are Just For Farming

Chapter 302 - Please Don't Say Anymore!

Xiao Chen clutched his head, feeling deeply wronged.

Yet, he remained silent, his sense of injustice palpable.

The two elders slapped him once more.

“You still have the nerve to act aggrieved?”

“When you deceived your parents and gallivanted around with your girlfriend, did you feel wronged then?”

“Exactly! You constantly dragged my grandson to the moat to fish, which left him feverish for three days. Didn't feel wronged about that, did you?”

“And when you urinated on the big stone lion at our doorstep, where was your sense of injustice?”

“You…”

Xiao Chen was immediately thrown into a panic.

He pleaded, “Elders, I admit my mistakes.”

“I'll never do it again!”

“Please, can we stop this discussion?”

What was critical was that his parents were unaware of some of his actions.

Xiao Luomu's eyes bulged in shock upon hearing this.

“You've done all this behind our backs? I had no idea!”

In a swift motion, Xiao Luomu slammed his hand on the table and stood up, deftly unbuckling his belt.

Yueqiu, too, reached for the slippers nearby.

In large families, it was not unusual for elders to discipline with belts and slippers.

Such items were conveniently at hand.

They inflicted pain but were not lethal.

In a state of alarm, Xiao Chen exclaimed, “Dad, Mom, Grandpa's health is what matters most.”

“Why are you both so worked up?”

“He's just a kid. Making mistakes is part of growing up.”

“We're peers with his grandpa. We shouldn't hold these missteps against him.”

“True. But he did destroy the walnut I've cherished for years. That does sting a bit.”

“And my two Golden Arowana? He killed them.”

They seemed ready to go on.

“Enough!”

Xiao Chen couldn't take it anymore and blurted out.

“Please, Grandfathers, I'm begging you!”

“Don't say another word!”

“With my brother-in-law here, Grandpa's illness will surely be healed.”

“Grandpa can recover and live another twenty years.”

“But what about me?”

“My parents seem ready to beat the life out of me.”

“I was thinking, since my brother-in-law enjoys farming so much, why don't we buy a building for him? We could demolish it and let him farm the land,” Xiao Chen eagerly shared his newly conceived idea.

As soon as Xiao Chen finished speaking, everyone in the room was taken aback. They exchanged glances, then simultaneously nodded in agreement. Xiao Chen's idea was actually quite good.

Old Master Tang, who had known Su Ming the longest, was the most knowledgeable about the situation. Initially, he thought Su Ming's urban farming was just a publicity stunt. However, after observing for a while, he realized that wasn't the case at all. Su Ming was genuinely farming, and Old Master Tang noted that he only had five acres to work with. If they purchased a building for Su Ming, it might just solve the problem.

“It's quite late now; we shouldn't disturb Su Ming,” Old Master Qin said, checking the time. “Father has just had his ginseng soup; he can last another week or two. We're not in any rush.”

Xiao Luomu nodded in agreement. He resisted the urge to go to Su Ming immediately. His father was ill, and his anxiety was palpable. Furthermore, his father had an unfulfilled wish. If he couldn't satisfy this wish before his father passed away, he would live with that guilt for the rest of his life. Having a potential solution at hand, he was eager to act on it. But it was deep into the night, and it would be rude to disturb Su Ming now. It would reflect poorly on his upbringing. They would wait until tomorrow.

Even though he understood the reasoning, Xiao Luomu couldn't shake off his anxiety. He needed to distract himself. His gaze then fell on his son. He picked up the belt he had just set aside.

Xiao Chen saw this and exclaimed, “Dad! Is that really necessary? I just came up with a great idea!”

“You've been keeping secrets from me, getting involved in all sorts of foolishness!” Xiao Luomu retorted as he lifted the belt in his hand and swung it down.

Xiao Chen leaped three meters high to avoid it. Back when he lived at home, he was doted on by his sister and mother.

The elder gentleman always treated him with great kindness.

Yet, his father was the one he truly feared.

“Mom! Sister! Please help me!”

Xiao Chen turned and fled.

Yueqiu was seated on the sofa.

Xiao Ke'er was sitting there as well, their hands intertwined as they whispered secrets to one another.

The two old masters seemed oblivious to the unfolding scene.

Xiao Chen had no choice but to run away.

The villa was vast, resembling a palace.

From deep within its walls, a young man's scream echoed.

The night passed in utter silence, giving way to the morning of the next day.

Su Ming awoke early, brimming with energy.

He planned to buy some chickens that morning.

The farm owner had given him a contact number and a list featuring various breeds of chickens.

But Su Ming believed that if he was going to raise chickens, he should approach the task with genuine commitment.

Therefore, he resolved to select the chickens in person.

That was what he considered true “sincerity.”

No one could predict which aspect of the System might influence the final quality of the product.

So, Su Ming was determined to handle everything he could personally.

In the 21st century, sincerity is paramount!

Whether dealing with people, the System, or even chickens!

Since his home was a considerable distance from the farm, requiring about three hours for the round trip, Su Ming set out in his truck at dawn.

He headed directly to the rural breeding facility.

Xiao Chen and his companions were also up with the first light of day.

After a quick breakfast, they sat on the sofa in silence.

Old Master Tang remarked, “Mr. Su is young. It's typical for him to stay up late and rise late.”

“If we go knocking on his door this early, Mr. Su will be upset!”

“The deal would surely fall through.”

“Therefore, let's wait a bit longer!”
