Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

To put it bluntly, the combination of the Lou family and the Xu family is a relationship of mutual benefit. Chen Xu always likes to think of things in the worst case scenario, and he never believes in good things like pie falling from the sky.

The most charming thing is the most dangerous. This is an eternal truth.

Xu Damao enjoyed the benefits brought by being the son-in-law of the Lou family. If he doesn't make up his mind in the future, I'm afraid this guy will be in trouble.

Chen Xu didn't know whether Xu Damao reported the Lou family to protect himself or simply to vent his dissatisfaction. Maybe it was both. After all, who could stand having his ex-wife and his mortal enemy hanging around in front of him every day?

Lou Xiao'e is simply brainless, or perhaps she thinks too simply of people.

Whether it was the fact that she was schemed against by the deaf old lady or that she stayed in the courtyard house foolishly after the divorce, it all proved that this woman was truly naive. Even after she became a successful female entrepreneur, she still acted like she had lost her mind.

Of course, there is also a possibility that Lou Xiao'e at that time didn't care at all about giving some money to Sha Zhu to make trouble. After all, with her wealth at that time, maintaining a courtyard house was like raising a group of pets.

The two of them just cooked two dishes and called it a day. Xu Damao now began to dislike Chen Xu's cooking skills.

Not to mention the excessive amount of chili pepper, the most important thing is that it was overcooked and the meat was a bit tough.

"How long will it take you to get the certificate?"

"There's still half a year left. Why are you asking this?"

"You should marry your wife as soon as possible. I admire your cooking skills. Will you die if you put less chili?"

"You're a grown man, and you're afraid of eating chili peppers?"

Chen Xu was calm and even felt that his cooking skills seemed to have improved. Xu Damao was crying because of the spicy food and he wished he could get a bowl of water to wash the vegetables before eating.

"Apart from going to the countryside, I will go back to my mother's place recently. I won't be back to Siheyuan for a short time."

Xu Damao took a sip of wine and finally got rid of the burning sensation in his throat before he spoke.

"Um..."

Chen Xu didn't care. He usually ate at the steel rolling mill anyway. Even if he occasionally had an extra meal, it was provided by the space. When Xu Damao was not around, the most he would do was drink less.

"I don't know whether my mother will give me a brother or a sister..."

Xu Damao was a little confused and started talking to himself.

Chen Xu was still conscious. He remembered that Xu Damao had a younger sister, but he had never seen her.

As for whether Xu Damao will have a younger brother or a younger sister, it actually has no impact on Xu Damao.

The food in the space is harvested about once a month. By now, Chen Xu has stockpiled a lot of various grains and vegetables. Except for some of them used to feed the fish, the rest are piled up in the space.

Chen Xu has no plans to sell them for the time being. With the current rate of space expansion, it's not like there's no room for them. Moreover, he doesn't dare to sell so many materials. The only way he can sell them now is to take out some from time to time as unplanned supplies for purchase.

And it can't be too much, otherwise someone will suspect your origin and cause more trouble.

If it was fish, he had thought of a countermeasure, but there was no way to explain the origin of the grain. If the quantity was small, he could still blame it on the black market or the pigeon market, but if it was thousands or tens of thousands of kilograms, no one would believe Chen Xu no matter how much he said.

Therefore, Chen Xu began to control the output of grain and vegetables intentionally or unintentionally. For him now, the part that can guarantee his daily consumption, feeding fish and purchasing is the only part. He cannot sell the rest, and it is meaningless to have more.

Chen Xu's idea was to raise some other livestock. After all, there was no shortage of fish and food in the space now. But he couldn't always eat fish as meat, so he had to arrange for other things as well. He didn't ask for too much, but at least he had to have enough food for himself and Lin Chan.

His martial arts training is now on track, and he consumes a lot of energy every day. Without meat supplement, it is difficult to maintain his needs by relying on other things alone, so meat becomes very important.

As for what to raise, Chen Xu plans to raise whatever he sees. He wants to raise cows, sheep, pigs, and he must also have chickens, ducks, and geese. Anyway, he has the space to help watch over them, so it is not a problem. The only thing he needs to solve is that he has to figure out how to raise these things himself.

Adults are hard to buy, but cubs are fine. But even cubs are not easy to buy now.

On the contrary, chickens and the like are more common.

The space has been expanding, and Chen Xu has been constantly making the pond bigger. At least now it seems that the environment has changed a lot. There is no longer the situation of fish crowding each other as before. There is also a place surrounded by mud in the corner of the space specifically for raising livestock.

But now there is nothing in it except a few chicks and ducklings.

Chen Xu intentionally planned the layout of the space, which he basically divided into four parts.

The pond is the largest, taking up half of the space.

The livestock area is about the same size as his own living area, only about one mu.

The rest are planting areas, accounting for about 30% of the space.

There are more or less corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes and other miscellaneous vegetables.

Chen Xu also discovered that it was not without benefits that the space only increased the speed of planted things.

Otherwise, with the number of fish in his pond and the terrifyingly high survival rate caused by the constant purification of the space, it would not be long before he would have to throw the fish into the river.

As for making money, Chen Xu doesn't care much about it. He already has a good income every month. He doesn't have to worry about food and drink, and he doesn't have any health problems, so naturally he doesn't care that much about money.

Now he even has his usual snacks in the space. In the eyes of others, Chen Xu has always been poor. Apart from having a few drinks with Xu Damao occasionally, he has no money to spend.

Chen Xu naturally wanted to maintain this kind of personality. To some extent, being a poor guy really felt safe. Even a dog wouldn't even look at you...

There are disadvantages as well. For example, Lin Chan said that there is no need to give her so much food every month, so as not to really drag Chen Xu down.

Chen Xu just smiled and said that these were extra income accumulated from normal purchases, so there was no need to worry.

Regardless of whether Lin Chan believed it or not, Chen Xu believed it anyway.

Even if the king of heaven came, he would only use this excuse.

Chen Xu understood the principle of not showing off wealth better than anyone else. As long as his current situation did not reveal any abnormalities, he would surely enjoy a life of wealth and glory, so he would naturally put safety first.

The behavior of overeating the brave ones and starving the timid ones to death has no meaning at all to Chen Xu.

Didn’t he even bother to flirt with the little girl? He knew very well that Qin Jingru definitely had feelings for him.

However, ever since he brought Lin Chan back, the little girl had obviously become much more distant from him. It was that resentful look in her eyes that made Chen Xu feel a little uncomfortable.

He knew from memory that the girl wanted to marry into the city, but he didn't expect that she had this idea now. However, it was normal. Who would want to farm in the countryside all their life, especially a teenage girl?

Perhaps another reason why Qin Jingru didn't dare to have any other thoughts was because of Lin Chan. After all, Qinjia Village was not far from Chen Xu's hometown. Qin Huairu, who had married to the city a long time ago, might not know Lin Chan's name, but Qin Jingru must have heard of it.

As the saying goes, there is no false reputation under a great name. Lin Chan is so famous in the surrounding area that Qin Jingru would naturally be wary of him.

After all, this is the female version of Wu Song who is said to be able to fight a tiger with her bare hands...
