69: Chapter 69 Miracle 69: Chapter 69 Miracle “Would you dare to bring a pot here for me to see?” Cai Yan lifted her chin and asked Liu Hun, looking like she was daring him to get slapped. “Brother Hun! Here you go!” Mao’er hurriedly picked up a seedling pot from the ground and handed it to Liu Hun. Liu Hun took the pot and then held it in front of Cai Yan, saying, “Look closely! This is the first miracle of Wanbao Village! My first miracle! My name is Liu Hun!” “Liu Hun! Wait until I slap your face!” Cai Yan said, snatching the pot from Liu Hun’s hand, scrutinizing it intently for a long while without saying anything. “Miss Cai, is it really a blueberry seedling?” Yang Yide was getting a bit anxious, as this woman was exceptionally capable and captivating, but her temper was notoriously awful, and he didn’t dare to offend her too much. “What’s going on? Is she under some spell or what? Just standing there frozen like that, what’s the deal?” “Could it be that this woman is thinking about how to deal with Hunzi? She looks like a demon who doesn’t spare people with her words.” “Why is the wait getting more unnerving? Shouldn’t she give a sign already? Holding it like that, what’s the point? It’s not some rare thing.” “...” Just as everyone was waiting like ants on a hot pan, Cai Yan suddenly looked up and stared at Liu Hun with a gaze as complicated as a pot of eight-treasure porridge, impossible to decipher. “Take it! I don’t believe it!” Cai Yan finally uttered, shoving the pot back into Liu Hun’s hands, then rushed over to the place where the pots were arranged, examining them one by one. The people around looked at Cai Yan in a daze, feeling like she was possessed. “Bang!” Suddenly, Cai Yan stood up and kicked a pot to pieces, then rushed back to Liu Hun, saying, “How can this be? How is it possible? Grown in a garden? The soil in the pot isn’t acidic at all, what did you use to adjust the pH? With such intense sunlight, what did you use to prevent the seedlings from wilting? What humidity conditions required by blueberries did you use to create? How did you achieve this?” “Wow!” Watching Cai Yan’s expression, Liu Hun felt wonderful, taking a deep breath in satisfaction, then leaped onto the millstone and raised his hands high, shouting loudly to the villagers of Wanbao Village, “This is the divine power of Nature! This is a miracle from the land! This piece of earth and water! These people! And I, Liu Hun! Together we can create miracles!” After Liu Hun finished speaking, he laughed heartily, loudly asking the villagers, “Tell them who I am!” The villagers responded thunderously, “Liu Hun!” “Tell them what we created?” “A miracle!” “Liu Hun! A miracle! Liu Hun! A miracle...” Amidst the villagers’ deafening shouts, Liu Hun was tossed high into the air over and over. Du Yueling wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, once again feeling the tremor and surprise that this man and this land brought to her. “This is a land of passion! I haven’t felt such a shock in years! This little mountain village hides a great hero! This young man will be a remarkable figure in the future! Mayor Xie, I’m signing this contract!” After Yang Yide finished speaking, he immediately instructed his secretary to bring the contract, and he signed it with Xie Heguo and Ye Canghai on the spot. Xie Heguo signed while grinning, his mouth looking like a knife had cut a slit, unable to close. Cai Yan watched Liu Hun being tossed up and down with mixed emotions, clinging to her education, but this man in front of heaven and earth seemed to already make her question. Could it be that this land and this man truly held miracles? After the contract was signed, Yang Yide immediately handed over the initial investment and blueberry seeds to Ye Canghai. The villagers of Wanbao Village craned their necks, waiting for Ye Canghai to arrange how to plant and distribute the shares, but waited left for one day and right for another with no sign, making some people anxious. “What do you think Ye Canghai has been fiddling with these days? Obviously, Mayor Xie has already signed with Boss Yang, so why is there no movement in the blueberry planting?” Qin Yue muttered, hoping to earn some money from this to rebuild her house. Last time she helped Liu Hun and Fen Ran with the tangerines and earned some labor money, but it wasn’t enough. “Perhaps Village Chief Ye is still consulting on policy issues. I heard that Wanbao Village has a lot of land that has to be used for grain cultivation, and if these lands are to be converted to grow something else, there should be documentation from the township,” Du Yueling poured tea for each of them, feeling joyful every day teaching in the temple with the children, and these days, accompanied by Fen Ran. “Dillying and dallying, just like squeezing toothpaste, can’t Ye Canghai man up for once? Every village has fields like this, those are rules from how many years ago, who cares about that now? As long as you can make money, what can’t you grow?” Bai Lian complained along, feeling that many things were not an issue at all. Fen Ran remained silent, not wanting to say anything, as if this man had nothing to do with her anymore. “Hunzi! Hunzi! What are you all doing here!” As they were chatting in the temple, Wang Dajiao rushed in, her old legs moving faster than oars. “Aunt Qi, why are you in such a hurry?” Qin Yue grabbed Wang Dajiao, as if she fell in the temple, it would really be trouble. “In a hurry? Ye Canghai that dog ball ran away with the money!” Wang Dajiao hadn’t even caught her breath when she blurted it out. “What?! Ran away?!” The women all shot up like springs, but Liu Hun remained calm. “Oh dear, you are all sitting here like you are the Buddhas, oblivious to the world. His door is wide open, all the valuable things are gone! Even the limping dog inside is pooping!” Wang Dajiao gritted her teeth, wishing she could exert the same energy as when denouncing landlords at the Liberation. “Aunt Qi, rest here!” Qin Yue said, propping Wang Dajiao on a stool, and hurriedly left the temple with Liu Hun and the others. When they arrived at the Zheng Family’s, the lame yellow dog at the village entrance had just finished pulling something yellow from inside; seeing this, Fen Ran rushed into the house, followed by a wail from inside, “That despicable Ye Canghai! How could he be so heartless! I must be blind all my life...” Liu Hun walked in to find that, indeed, only the worthless tables and stools remained, everything else was gone. Qin Yue held Fen Ran, cursing Ye Canghai non-stop. Bai Lian searched inside and outside the house and found the contract left by Ye Canghai. “Hunzi, take a look at this. Is this the contract?” Bai Lian handed the contract to Liu Hun. Of course, Liu Hun recognized the document. He told Bai Lian, “Yes, this is the contract we signed with Boss Yang! Luckily, Ye Canghai didn’t take it with him.” As Liu Hun conversed with Bai Lian, the villagers who had caught wind of the situation swarmed into the Zheng Family’s house. “Damn that Ye Canghai! Did he really flee? What are we going to do now? We’ve been waiting for the seeds and money! How could this dog ball be so heartless and run away with the money?” “We barely saw a penny of the poverty alleviation funds and disaster relief money! And now the money’s gone too! I hope the heavens take this crook away!” “I say, Fen Ran, do you know where Ye Canghai is? If you do, you have to tell us, you can’t side with that despicable Ye Canghai.” “...” “Hunzi, what do we do about this? Are we just going to let that beast Ye Canghai get away with the money?” Bai Lian anxiously asked Liu Hun. At this moment, Du Yueling found the copy of the contract signed between Xie Heguo and Yang Yide and handed it to Liu Hun. Liu Hun confirmed that the ten thousand yuan was indeed the advance payment Yang Yide had given so the villagers would dare to grow more, as well as the compensation in case of total crop failure due to natural disasters. “Everyone listen to me!” Liu Hun shouted to the surrounding villagers, and the murmuring around stopped immediately. “Let’s not shout or make a fuss about this, and we mustn’t get Fen Ran involved; what Ye Canghai did is his mistake and has nothing to do with Fen Ran!” Liu Hun first cleared Fen Ran of responsibility, then continued, “This contract here holds legal weight, so our blueberry planting hasn’t been canceled! It can continue!” Hearing this, the villagers immediately calmed down, and someone suddenly called out, “But what about the money that Ye Canghai took?” “Don’t worry, folks, your money won’t be lost. Leave it to me, and I promise to give you all a satisfactory answer! For now, listen to my arrangements, should we proceed with the blueberry planting or not?” Liu Hun asked the villagers. He had anticipated Ye Canghai’s ploys, so he was fully prepared; finding Ye Canghai would be as effortless as catching a snail with three fingers. Now, they just had to move forward with the blueberry planting arrangements. “Yes! If Hunzi says so, then we’ll do it! Listening to Hunzi can’t be wrong!” Zhang Ju was the first to express this opinion. With words spoken to this extent, the villagers had no objections. Liu Hun immediately asked Du Yueling to bring paper and pens, organized the villagers into a line, and the empty space at the Zheng Family’s was perfect for them to register the amount they intended to plant, sign, and leave a fingerprint before leaving. They waited to receive the seedlings from Yang Yide’s hands for distribution. After taking care of that, Liu Hun told the women, “I’m heading to the township to find Ye Canghai. Help oversee the blueberry planting, and don’t let anything go wrong.” When Liu Hun arrived in town, he went straight to Ying Nanhong’s restaurant. Just at the restaurant entrance, he bumped into Mao’er and pulled him aside, asking, “Mao’er, where did Ye Canghai go?” “Brother Hun, I followed him into the Township Government’s family quarters. I tried to go in, but the guard stopped me. So, I’m doing as you said and waiting for you at this restaurant.” Mao’er scratched his head and explained to Liu Hun. It turned out that Liu Hun, foreseeing Ye Canghai’s impending mischiefs, had instructed Mao’er to keep an eye on him after the contract was signed, leading to the present scene. “Haha, Brother Hun, you’re really like that Zhuge Liang, predicting everything.” Mao’er chuckled as he spoke to Liu Hun.
