Chapter 78

"Your brother Diao." Diao Niu admitted with a swagger and asked, "Xiaoqiang, did you use hormone fertilizer on your yam field?"

"So what if I did, and what if I didn't?" Wang Xiaoqiang neither admitted nor denied, speaking ambiguously.

"Haha, I knew it," Diao Niu said smugly to Wang Daba and Huang Chunsheng, "He really did use hormone fertilizer, haha, this time he's going to be ruined..."

"Diao, you always talk too much, that's why you can't find a wife..." Wang Xiaoqiang looked at Diao Niu with disgust.

Diao Niu's face changed when his sore spot was hit, and he pointed at Wang Xiaoqiang angrily, "Wang Xiaoqiang, don't get too cocky, don't think you're something just because you've leased some land..."

"It's better than running a gambling den," Wang Xiaoqiang retorted, "Ever since you opened that gambling den, many people have been ruined..."

"What's it to you that I run a gambling den?" Diao Niu, with the air of a dead pig not fearing boiling water, pointed at Wang Xiaoqiang and said sternly, "Wang Xiaoqiang, I warn you, don't pick a fight for no reason!"

"Today, I'm just looking for a fight, what are you going to do about it?" Wang Xiaoqiang took a step closer to Diao Niu, "Do you believe I can slap you with a big ear?"

"Heh! With your puny body, you're not even worth a poke from my finger..." Diao Niu, with a swagger, extended his right index finger and waved it in front of Wang Xiaoqiang.

Xia Sanwa was a loose-lipped person, and the story of Wang Xiaoqiang dealing with Guo Biao and his gang in the county town had already been spread, known by everyone in Sanmiao Village, though few really believed it.

Diao Niu also didn't quite believe that Wang Xiaoqiang could take on four people, and that he could fight bare-handed against thugs with steel pipes. Of course, he even less believed that Wang Xiaoqiang could bring down the Guo family in the county town.

In his eyes, Wang Xiaoqiang was a weak student, unable to even lift a chicken, and had always been sickly from childhood, never having learned martial arts. How could he take on four people?

Diao Niu, known for his shameless behavior, was always arrogant and never took Wang Xiaoqiang seriously. At this moment, he was even boasting.

"Then try it," Wang Xiaoqiang said with a cold smile, taking another step closer to Diao Niu.

Wang Daba and Huang Chunsheng, seeing the two about to fight, did not immediately intervene. They also wanted to verify whether Wang Xiaoqiang was as skilled as Xia Sanwa claimed.

Diao Niu, being arrogant and concerned about his reputation, would never use his fist if he said he would use his finger. Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang take another step closer, he felt his face losing its composure but still did not punch. Instead, he poked Wang Xiaoqiang's chest, hoping to push him down with just one finger.

Unfortunately for him, his finger landed precisely on the spot where the Five Elements Spirit Spring was dormant in Wang Xiaoqiang's chest.

"Ah~~" As soon as he poked, Diao Niu's finger felt as if it had touched an electric current, tingling and painful. He immediately shook his hand, his face turning pale. However, he didn't think Wang Xiaoqiang was that strong; he just thought he had pulled a muscle in his hand. But the next poke from Wang Xiaoqiang made him realize that Wang Xiaoqiang was no longer the weak student.

Wang Xiaoqiang sneered, using the same method to retaliate. He extended his right index finger and poked Diao Niu's abdomen, releasing a burst of Metal Qi. Diao Niu let out another cry of pain, fell backward, and landed on his buttocks, looking extremely embarrassed.

Wang Daba and Huang Chunsheng were immediately stunned by this scene.

Wang Xiaoqiang was even stronger than the rumors suggested. He had taken down the strong and muscular Diao Niu with just one finger!

"Now you understand who can be pushed down with just one finger, right?" Wang Xiaoqiang sneered, but since they were from the same village, he didn't chase after Diao Niu to beat him up.

"You're strong!" Diao Niu, though shameless, was also a shrewd person. Wang Xiaoqiang's display proved that Xia Sanwa's words were true. Wang Xiaoqiang was indeed very strong, and bringing down the Guo family in the county town was also likely true. Diao Niu finally conceded, for he couldn't fight or match Wang Xiaoqiang's power. What could he do? His family ran a gambling den, and if he provoked Wang Xiaoqiang, a single phone call could get him fined. He didn't think he was more powerful than the Guo family in the county town.

"Knowing this is good. In the future, don't jump around in front of me, or not only will I shut down your gambling den, but I can also send you to prison..." Wang Xiaoqiang said without any courtesy.

Diao Niu now truly believed Xia Sanwa's words. The Guo family in the county town had indeed been brought down by this star of misfortune. No wonder Guo Biao didn't come to get married; he was probably in jail.

This ruffian knew when to back down. Realizing the key point, he scrambled to his feet and ran away like he was escaping.

Wang Xiaoqiang watched Diao Niu's embarrassed back as he ran away, sneering and muttering, "Scum!"

After cursing, he glanced at Wang Daba and Huang Chunsheng.

Wang Daba and Huang Chunsheng were still in shock, unable to believe that the ruffian Diao Niu had been intimidated by Wang Xiaoqiang.

As the saying goes, the hard fear the tough, and the tough fear those who are willing to die. Diao Niu was used to being tough in the village, always ready to fight without fear, and no one dared to provoke him. Yet, he was afraid of Wang Xiaoqiang.

Feeling Wang Xiaoqiang's cold gaze, the two shivered and came back to their senses, giving a thumbs up, "Xiaoqiang, you're really strong!"

"A ruffian, what's there to be afraid of," Wang Xiaoqiang said coldly, turning to leave the old village committee courtyard.

After witnessing Wang Xiaoqiang's strength, Huang Chunsheng and Wang Daba no longer dared to meddle with his yam field.

The biggest fear in raising chickens is disease, especially avian influenza.

Hundreds of chicks were raised in the old village committee courtyard. If one chick got sick, it could quickly spread to many others. However, in the past two months, no chicks had fallen ill, thanks to the Five Elements Spirit Spring. The chicks were hatched with Fire Qi, and when Wang Xiaoqiang fed them water, he infused it with Wood Qi.

After drinking the water with Qi, the chicks not only remained healthy but also grew very quickly.

In just a month and a half, the chicks in the old village committee courtyard had grown up, and the earlier batch had already started laying eggs. This was quite unusual, as ordinary chickens take three to six months to grow from hatching to maturity, and wild mountain chickens take even longer. Now, in less than two months, the wild mountain chickens hatched with Qi had already started laying eggs.

During this time, Wang Xiaoqiang had the old yellow dog guard the gate, allowing only his family to enter. The old yellow dog was very diligent, lying at the gate every day and barking fiercely at anyone passing by, scaring them away.

As the chicks grew, the big black and little black dogs were assigned to watch over them, preventing weasels and wild cats from harming them.

Thus, during the two months of the chicks' growth, only Wang Xiaoqiang and Liu Juyi took turns caring for them. The rapid growth of the chicks was unknown to outsiders, avoiding unnecessary trouble.

The worst thing for building a house is rainy weather. Fortunately, since the construction of Wang Xiaoqiang's chicken farm began, there had only been two sudden downpours, and the rest of the time was sunny, which accelerated the construction speed of the village construction team. In less than two months, the chicken farm was completed. Apart from the five bungalows, the chicken coops required no detailed renovation, just a coat of paint to be ready for use.

The mountain received ample sunlight and strong, dry winds, which dried out the chicken coops in a week.

Seeing the right time, Wang Xiaoqiang prepared to move the wild mountain chickens from the old village committee courtyard to the chicken farm on Mantou Mountain.

I'm asking for recommendations. Last week, I received 200 recommendations, but this week I haven't reached 200 yet. Can we reach 200 recommendations today? It all depends on you all.
