Chapter 31: Hello, Kitty “Cao Zhen?” Cao Shujie mulled over the suggestion from Cao Tieming. His childhood friend Cao Zhen was helping out at a company run by his uncle, working as a logistics supervisor. “Could he have connections in this area?” Cao Shujie thought it over and decided to give Cao Zhen a call. “What do you need barbed wire for?” Cao Zhen sounded puzzled. After Cao Shujie explained, Cao Zhen let out several exclamations of “Whoa!” and said, “Shujie, I almost forgot—you…- 344.5 K • Ongoing
- Chapter 28: Mengmeng Is a Little Spirit Belonging to the Mountains “Mommy, this isn't fun.” Mengmeng pouted her lower lip over her upper one, her little face full of grievance. Just as Cheng Xiaolin was about to coax her, Mengmeng said, “I'm not staying. I want to go home.” Then she grabbed Cheng Xiaolin’s hand and started walking out, insisting on going home. Cheng Xiaolin tried to persuade her, but Mengmeng didn’t say another word, turned and walked out of the classroom on her own,…

- Chapter 29: Shrewd Tactics "Honey, keep an eye on things at home. I'm going to the town's Rural Commercial Bank to see Manager Ma," Cao Shujie said to his wife, Cheng Xiaolin.

Cao Shujie nodded. “All fenced in, or we really won’t be able to manage it.” That made sense—the whole area had already been contracted by Cao Shujie. During the contract period, it was basically his private land. “Alright, I’ll take the job,” Cao Zhenggang agreed. Work is work, as long as he gets paid. The other eight people at the table were also quite happy.…

- Chapter 25: Daha, Bite Her After coming out of the Village Committee Courtyard, Wang Yuelan stopped her son: "Shujie, why do you need to invest so much money?" "Mom, it's not money for one year, it's the total contracting fee for 30 years, and there are 78 mu of mountain fields, so it's not a lot," Cao Shujie explained to his mother. Wang Yuelan was not an ignorant woman, but she still felt it was too much. "This isn't just the contracting fee, there are many other local expenses. Have you really…

- Chapter 26: Will Mengmeng Behave at School? He couldn’t stop busying himself and didn’t finish until nearly six in the evening before returning home. When Mengmeng heard the car, she ran out. Seeing Cao Shujie step out, she threw her arms wide and ran to him. “Daddy, hug me!” “Oh, Mengmeng, did you miss Daddy?” Cao Shujie hurriedly closed the car door and held her in his arms. He had been exhausted, but holding his daughter suddenly made him feel energized. Mengmeng looped one arm around her…

- Chapter 27: Mengmeng Got Into a Fight on Her First Day of School (Please Keep Reading) When she met Principal Ding Dezhong, Cheng Xiaolin noticed something unusual: the tips of his right pinky and ring finger were missing. “Linlin, this is our kindergarten’s principal, Mr. Ding,” Li Qiuling introduced him first, then turned to introduce Cheng Xiaolin and Mengmeng in return. That was enough to count as an official introduction between both sides. With a broad smile, Ding Dezhong asked, “You must…

- Chapter 23: Large-scale Mountain Contracting Once this matter is settled, Cao Shujie will invest money to start the renovation, putting up fences around that mountain area, laying irrigation pipes, and repairing the small path leading up and down the mountain. It has been more than 20 days since he returned on the 12th of last month. During this period, Cao Shujie has mostly been in a state of accompanying his parents, wife, and children, and adjusting his routine. He hasn't been very busy, but that…
