"Xia Liu, rather than going on like this, let's have everyone in the village contribute a bit of strength. This way, you wouldn't have to exhaust yourself so much," Li Zhong expressed his agreement with Li Zhong's idea, but the road certainly had to be built; otherwise, the village would forever remain suppressed and unable to rise. "Yeah, Xia Liu, let's all contribute our strength together!" "We can't let Xia Liu carry the burden alone, everyone agrees, right!" "Right! Let's all work together!" … Li Zhong's words set off a wave of enthusiastic endorsement among the villagers; there might have been opposing voices in the past, but not now! The loudest advocate was none other than Zhang Tie, who had completely changed and was now unconditionally supporting Xia Liu for life! Li Zhong and Lan Weiming were both moved by the unity of the village. They exchanged glances and could see each other's thoughts. Regardless of whether the approval was granted or not, they would both file a report when they got back. Xia Liu waved his hand and smiled warmly as he surveyed the crowd, "Everyone needn't worry. I'll handle this matter by myself. All of you just focus on your work, earn more money, and build up your own homes! Leave the development of the village to me!" "Brother Xia Liu..." Watching the confident Xia Liu, Zhang Xiaoxue murmured softly, tears streaming down her face. On the night Xia Liu returned, he had promised to make the villagers rich, and he had done it! Now, he was going to spend his money on moving mountains and paving roads; he made another promise, and the burden on his shoulders was incredibly heavy. Li Zhong and the villagers on-site tried to dissuade Xia Liu continuously, but it was no use; Xia Liu insisted on completing it alone. With no other choice, everyone finally compromised, but led by Li Zhong, several of them gathered and decided to take out their savings. When Xia Liu heard this, he immediately stopped Li Zhong and quietly explained the situation to him. After hearing it, Li Zhong could only give a wry smile, then stated to the villagers that Xia Liu would have full authority over the matter. With Li Zhong's assurance, the villagers finally calmed down. At that time, Zhang Tie had already brought the last pig from his home, intending to have a lively village meeting. Everyone wholeheartedly supported Zhang Tie, and those who had chickens or ducks at home went to fetch some, while others brought tables and chairs from their homes as well. Li Zhong and Lan Weiming were kept from leaving by the enthusiastic villagers who insisted on them staying; in fact, they didn't want to leave either and wished to talk more with Xia Liu, hoping to understand more about this mysterious young man. This day was the most exciting day for Osmanthus Village and the happiest one for Xia Liu because the goal was now much closer. The village meeting lasted until midnight; several villagers had already collapsed under the tables, with only Xia Liu still standing at the end. Li Zhong and Lan Weiming were in even worse shape and began to vomit as soon as they got into the car, causing the driver a lot of grief. Afterwards, Xia Liu was escorted home by Zhang Xiaoxue and Zhang Xiaoman, who were worried that he might be drunk and end up in a ditch, causing trouble. Following the trio was Zhang Qing, who felt some regret; she had hoped to invite Xia Liu to her home, but now the opportunity was gone. Being forcefully escorted by the two girls, Xia Liu pretended to be drunk, kept his head down the whole way, his hands fumbling about, and he kept muttering about not being drunk and wanting to drink more. On his way home, he didn't know how many times he took advantage of the situation. To miss such opportunities to cop a feel would simply be idiotic. Anyway, the girls thought he was drunk and wouldn't remember a thing in the morning, so there was nothing to fear. After Zhang Xiaoxue and Zhang Xiaoman helped Xia Liu into the house, they carefully laid him on the bed, "Cousin, Brother Xia Liu is all sticky. He won't be comfortable sleeping like this. Let's wipe him down with a towel, shall we?" "Ah! That's not such a good idea," Zhang Xiaoxue's face turned bright red at the thought of wiping Xia Liu down. She still vividly remembered the last time she helped scrub his back, a visual shock she would never forget in her lifetime. "Holy shit, I'm too young to die. Xiaoxue, please don't agree to that, otherwise I won't be able to control myself!" Xia Liu, with eyes tightly shut, insisted in his heart. Just hearing her say that made his blood flow quicken. If they really went through with it, the outcome would be a disaster. "Like it or not, it must be done. Brother Xia Liu will be really uncomfortable sleeping like this." "Xiaoman, Brother Xia Liu will surely disagree, so..." "Cousin, it's just a small matter. I was even thinking about stripping Brother Xia Liu naked, getting undressed ourselves, and lying next to him. Tomorrow morning when Brother Xia Liu wakes up, he's bound to be very surprised," Zhang Xiaoman said excitedly, blinking her eyes. ... Just listening to this dialogue, Xia Liu was not surprised but more shocked. Zhang Xiaoman had the nerve to coax Xiaoxue into doing such things! He would have to find an opportunity to properly educate her, but the proposal was damn good! "Xiaoman, you are really bold. If we really do that, Brother Xia Liu will definitely be mad at us tomorrow. Come on, let's go back to bed!" Zhang Xiaoxue, although shy, was quite firm in her decision. Helplessly, Zhang Xiaoman pouted and slowly exited the room. "Xiaoxue is really sensible, I must remember this and reward her later." After the two girls left, Xia Liu sat up from the bed. After the girls had gone to sleep, he slipped out quietly and headed for the beach, thinking a soak in the seawater was perfect after a tiring day. However, by coincidence, not long after he jumped into the water, Zhang Qing appeared on the shore. "Sister Zhang, why aren't you resting so late?" Xia Liu was taken aback by Zhang Qing's appearance—it was almost one o'clock in the morning, and there she was. "Hehe, you haven't come to my house for quite a few days. I saw you heading this way, so I thought you could teach me to swim again." Zhang Qing had already entered the water as she spoke… That night, the two of them were destined to return home late, with soft moans filling the area around the sea. The next morning, Xia Liu came out of his room feeling refreshed and alert. At breakfast, he noticed the two girls kept their heads down, blushing deeply, a sight clearly seen by his sharp eyes. Xia Liu quickly finished his breakfast and, after reminding them, drove off into the distance. He wandered around the mountaintop, noting the chickens were all of a very good size and none of them were fatty—an absolute hallmark of genuine Osmanthus Chicken. His tasks for the day were twofold: to sell the Osmanthus Chicken and to find resources for moving the mountain. Perhaps the two tasks could be related. So, he dialed Fang Fei's number and described the situation with the Osmanthus Chicken to her. "What? In just half a month, your chickens are ready for market!" Fang Fei was greatly shocked by Xia Liu's words. Normally, it would be completely impossible for chickens to grow to five or six pounds without several months of growth. "Sister Fang, I'm telling the truth, you can believe me," Xia Liu said seriously. He didn't know how to explain; could he tell Fang Fei he had added Wood Spirit Energy to the feed? That would be absurd, no ordinary person would believe such things. "Er, er, Sister doesn't disbelieve you. It's just that you haven't visited me for so long, and when you call it's always about business. You don't come and take care of me, so I won't talk about other matters!"
