Mountain village beauty: Brother, don't stop!

Chapter 80: Chapter 80: All Under Wang Hao’s Management

"Wang Hao, you’d better be sensible. What you’re taking belongs to the public. If you don’t return it, you’ll be arrested and put in jail,"

Zhao Youquan intimidated Wang Hao, but inside he was thinking, let’s see how cocky this kid can get now.

"Oh, is that so? Why don’t you check the date on the declaration?"

Wang Hao said, shaking the document in his hand.

"Yesterday’s date, so what?"

Zhao Youquan asked impatiently.

"It means that this document was issued only yesterday, but the herbal medicine in my greenhouse was planted well before yesterday. It means that it’s not yet public property, so what right do you have to dig it up!"

Wang Hao argued.

"You... But the document doesn’t say it goes into effect after this date!"

Zhao Youquan snatched the document and examined it closely, quibbling.

"I don’t care! There was no document before, and everyone could dig. Why can’t I?"

"If you argue like that, your family also went up to the mountains to dig things decades ago. You must first bring out those things for confiscation. After you do, I’ll let you dig immediately."

Wang Hao asked forcefully, leaving Zhao Youquan speechless.

The ancestors of Chen Village had lived off the mountain produce, and everyone had gone up the mountain to dig medicinal herbs or pick wild fruit. So many years have passed, the consumed is consumed, the used is used, what else could Zhao Youquan return?

If he didn’t return anything, he definitely couldn’t touch the herbal medicine in Wang Hao’s greenhouse. Even if he tried to forcefully dig it out, the other villagers wouldn’t agree.

"Wang Hao, you’re ruthless. From now on, don’t even think about touching a blade of grass or tree on the back mountain!"

After speaking, Zhao Youquan ordered his men to take away all the medicinal herbs and seeds that Wang Hao had dug up that day, and they didn’t even spare the water in the basket.

Zhao Youquan’s purpose was simple: to keep Wang Hao from getting anything from the mountains, thus stalling the progress of his greenhouse.

If he wanted to utilize the greenhouse again, he would have to buy seeds and breed seedlings all over again, which would not only cost him a significant amount of money but also a lot of time.

Though this move got Zhao Youquan no advantage, the sight of Wang Hao in trouble was immensely satisfying to him.

This kind of harmful but unprofitable act was something Zhao Youquan often engaged in.

Wang Hao was so angry he was grinding his teeth, yet he couldn’t come up with a good strategy right away.

"Wang Hao, didn’t Mr. Wang leave you his phone number earlier?"

Xia Xue reminded from the side.

"Why don’t you give him a call and try? Maybe he can offer some help?"

Wang Hao naturally disliked asking others for help, knowing that asking for favors meant owing them later, but he was well aware of the situation he was in.

Longchi Spring was still in the mountains, as was the Blood Ganoderma, and the red giant centipedes... The entire forest was like a huge treasure to him. If he gave up now, he would lose everything.

So, he summoned up the courage to take out his mobile phone.

As he took out his mobile phone to dial, a black sedan stopped at the entrance to the village.

Wang Ming got out of the car, looked around, and seeing Wang Hao, he called out to him loudly.

"Wow, quite a big operation!"

Wang Ming ran over and, seeing the twenty or so greenhouses along the road, couldn’t help but exclaim.

"I’ve brought the agreement you wanted, and books on centipede farming technology, CDs, as well as notes and findings from experienced researchers in our laboratory. They are all in the car,"

Wang Ming smiled and added, "Where are my centipedes? We agreed on an exchange of technology for the goods. Don’t you try to cheat me!"

Hearing that Wang Hao was going to sell centipedes again, Zhao Youquan turned back toward them.

"Wang Hao, the centipedes belong to the public too, you’re not allowed to sell them!"

Zhao Youquan shouted.

Wang Ming was startled by the yelling, and looked towards Wang Hao with a puzzled face.

"I forgot to introduce him; this is our village chief. He just got a document from somewhere, saying the mountain behind us belongs to the public, and that we can’t just touch public property, otherwise we’ll go to jail."

Wang Hao helplessly spread his hands and said, "I can’t enter the back mountain anymore, so I can’t help you find red giant dragon centipedes. This is the last one, so take good care of it and don’t let it die again."

Wang Ming looked at the domineering Zhao Youquan and shook his head.

"I think you’re just jealous, Village Chief! Such a big show of authority for a mere village chief."

Wang Ming whispered into Wang Hao’s ear.

Wang Hao gave a bitter smile, indicating that he had no choice, he couldn’t afford to offend Zhao Youquan.

Zhao Youquan stepped forward and snatched the red giant dragon centipede from Wang Hao’s hand, saying.

"This thing belongs to the state, any sale must go through the village committee’s approval!"

Zhao Youquan said this earnestly, his gaze occasionally flicking towards Wang Ming.

He also knew that Wang Hao had made a lot of money selling centipedes last time, and they came back to buy this time, they must have offered a high price; otherwise, why would Wang Hao risk his life to catch them for them again.

He thought he would wait for everyone to disperse, then sell it to Wang Ming, and the money would be all his.

Zhao Youquan saw Wang Ming making a phone call on the side, seemingly about buying the centipede; it seemed they really needed this centipede.

In a while, by raising the price, perhaps he could sell it even higher!

After finishing the call, Wang Ming shook hands with Wang Hao and walked straight to the small sedan, ready to leave.

Zhao Youquan hurriedly chased after him. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

After walking some distance, Zhao Youquan called out to Wang Ming, "How much are you planning to pay for this centipede?"

Wang Ming turned around, a smile playing on his lips, ambiguous.

"Who told you we’re going to pay for the centipede? We’re just trading with Wang Hao, not buying!"

With that, Wang Ming snatched the bag containing the centipede from Zhao Youquan’s hands and tossed it into the car.

Zhao Youquan was taken aback — not buying, so did that mean they were going to steal it?

Seeing that Wang Ming had no intention of paying, Zhao Youquan stepped forward and grabbed his collar, about to argue, when his phone suddenly rang.

Seeing that it was the call from the Town Mayor, Zhao Youquan thought rescue had come and hurriedly answered the call.

"Cousin, thank you so much. I finally got some revenge this time, I’ll—"

Zhao Youquan said cheerfully, but the Town Mayor interrupted him with a shout before he could finish.

"Thank my eight generations of ancestors, can’t you give me some peace and stop making trouble for me!"

The Town Mayor lashed out with a burst of scolding, leaving Zhao Youquan completely confused.

However, it was clear that the Town Mayor was really angry, and Zhao Youquan couldn’t help feeling a little frightened.

"Cousin, what’s the matter?"

Zhao Youquan asked cautiously.

"You still have the nerve to ask me? Just look at what you’ve done." freewebnoveℓ.com

The Town Mayor said through clenched teeth, as if he would give Zhao Youquan a couple of slaps if he were in front of him.

"I just received a notice from above that the forest behind your Chen Village has been requisitioned by the Zao City Biological Laboratory, and for now, it’s under the management of your village’s Wang Hao. Without Wang Hao’s permission, no one can touch so much as a blade of grass or a leaf in the mountain."

The more the Town Mayor spoke, the angrier he became.

"How did the authorities above find out about our town’s declaration and scold me for it? What good things have you done to make me take the blame for you?"

"Cousin... cousin, I..."

"Just take care of your own business!"

Before Zhao Youquan could finish, the Town Mayor hung up in a hurry, leaving Zhao Youquan standing there in a daze.

"Village Chief Zhao, you must have received the news as well,"

Wang Ming said with a smug smile, pointing to the red giant dragon centipede on the car.

"If you want money, go ask the authorities above!"
