Siheyuan: Tathagata's Palm suppresses the entire courtyard!

Sure enough, after hearing what Xu Mingjie said, several workers looked at each other and fell silent.

They just wanted to coax Xu Mingjie and let them have a good meal for free, but after Xu Mingjie said that, how could they continue to talk?

They were also well aware of Xu Mingjie's character, and they didn't know how long it would take to get back the money that Uncle Yi lent him.

If they lend money to Xu Mingjie now, wouldn’t it be a waste of money? They are not fools, so how could they possibly lend it to him?

"How about it?"

Xu Mingjie looked at them in silence and asked again with a smile.

One of the workers coughed awkwardly twice and said:

"Oh, it doesn't matter whether we eat or not, this is mainly to celebrate you passing the third-level fitter exam."

"You should save your money to buy something delicious and eat it at home. We don't have to eat this meal."

Xu Mingjie just looked at them and nodded without saying anything more.

You were joking and trying to trick him by asking him to treat you to a big meal. Did you really think he could be fooled by just a few words?

At this time, Xu Qingchun also walked over with his hands behind his back. He originally wanted to congratulate Xu Mingjie on becoming a third-level fitter, but as soon as he came over, he heard Xu Mingjie say that he had borrowed money from Yi Zhonghai.

He pulled Xu Mingjie aside and asked with a frown:

"Why do you go and borrow money from Yi Zhonghai for no reason? If you have no money to spend, just tell me. Won't your uncle give you money?"

Xu Qingchun said this from the bottom of his heart. He was really generous to his nephew. If Xu Mingjie really had no money, he was willing to give him money to spend, and it didn't matter whether he paid it back or not.

When Xu Mingjie saw Xu Qingchun's expression, he quickly explained to him:

"Uncle, I have money on me, don't worry."

"The reason why I borrowed money from Yi Zhonghai is because..."

Xu Mingjie explained the cause and effect of borrowing money to Xu Qingchun in detail. After listening to him, Xu Qingchun patted his head in annoyance:

"You are such a clever kid, you can even think of such a dirty trick."

"Since you live in that yard, just don't be bullied. If you need any help from your uncle, just ask. Your uncle will always be your backer."

Xu Mingjie smiled and nodded:

"How could I not know this? You and I are the only relatives in this world."

Seeing that Xu Mingjie understood what he meant, Xu Qingchun did not chat with him. After all, he was now the workshop director and there was a lot of work that required him to supervise. It could be said that he had little free time in the steel factory.

Soon it was time for lunch and everyone prepared their meals and sat together.

Normally they would gossip about the people around them, but today the subject of the gossip was Liu Haizhong and his family.

One of them said seriously:

"Let me tell you, Liu Guangqi and his father really don't get along. It is said that Liu Haizhong either beats or scolds them at home, which makes him feel uncomfortable."

"That's what happened recently. He is ready to pack up and move out to live on his own. He wants to start his own business and won't live with his dad anymore."

The other person didn't let the words drop. He asked curiously:

"Really? But that's true. A person with the physique of Bangs would probably be very painful if he hit someone. It's normal for him to move out."

"But his father is this kind of person. Liu Guangqi wants to move out. Will Liu Haizhong agree?"

"I don't know about that. Since they have decided to move out, they must have made up their minds. What can Liu Haizhong do to stop them?"

What everyone said was very specific, for example, it was a foregone conclusion that Liu Guangqi was going to move out of the compound.

The gossip about the courtyard was not circulated in just one place. As long as one group knew about it, most people in the steel factory would know about it without any surprise.

As expected, Liu Haizhong heard the news soon after.

"My son is going to move out, how come I, as his father, don't know?"

But the news told by the man from the steel factory was so true that Liu Haizhong couldn't help but start to doubt. Could it be that his eldest son was really going to set up his own business?

The more Liu Haizhong thought about it, the angrier he became. He was well-known for his partiality towards his eldest son. When had he ever cared about the other sons in the family? Wasn't he thinking of this eldest son for all the good things he had?

Even if he got something good, he would occasionally share a piece with Liu Guangqi.

As a result, this brat actually wants to move out and doesn’t even want to provide for his retirement, right?

"I am too lenient with you. If I don't teach you a lesson, do you really think you can move out?"

Liu Haizhong was thinking in his heart and muttering to himself.

At this time, Xu Mingjie had finished lunch. He found a quiet place, and seeing that there was no one around, he entered the space to look at his own farm.

The crops in the space were harvested and sold once again, and the gold coins were deposited into his account. Now he has nearly 2000 gold coins in his account, which is more than enough for him to expand other planting areas.

"There's not much benefit in upgrading the farm now. It's better to open a breeding farm so that we don't have to go out and buy meat in the future."

Then the system voice sounded:

[1800 gold coins are required to build a breeding farm. Does the host want to build a breeding farm? ]

Xu Mingjie nodded decisively and spent the gold coins.

The next second he saw a breeding farm built next to his farm. The farm was very large and the breeding environment was clean and tidy.

Then Xu Mingjie used the remaining 100 gold coins to buy some livestock cubs in the mall, including chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits, and two piglets.

Moreover, Xu Mingjie bought animals of different sexes for each type of animal to facilitate their reproduction. After all, these things were the result of long-term accumulation, and there was no need for him to spend a lot of money to buy such a large number.

The farms in this system space are different from those in reality. Not only does each animal have its own exclusive breeding area, but even the breeding process looks much more professional.

Now that the animal issue has been resolved, Xu Mingjie will have to worry about feed and hygiene issues next.

Now the number of these animals is small, and he has to spend money to buy feed, which won't cost many gold coins. However, as time goes on, there will be more and more animals in his farm, and by then the cost of buying feed alone will be a huge expense.

As if sensing Xu Mingjie's thoughts, the system said considerately:

[The system has turned on the automatic conversion mode for the host, and the animal's excrement will be converted into feed and fertilizer. ]
