A long time ago, Hu Xiaobei had tasted Guo Meiyu's cooking, so he knew she was great at it, and for that reason, he simply couldn't help himself now...

"Delicious!"

After taking a bite of the chicken, Hu Xiaobei's eyes squinted with pleasure, unable to help it—the flavor was just so incredibly delicious...

"You little dummy, no one's fighting you for it! Slow down!"

"Right?!"

Seeing Hu Xiaobei gobble up that piece of chicken and quickly reach for another, the two of them couldn't help but burst into laughter, teasing him softly...

Watching Hu Xiaobei eat so happily, they were genuinely overjoyed!

Before, the two of them had gone together to town to buy a lot of groceries, all with the purpose of treating Hu Xiaobei well; they knew that he had helped them a lot in the past!

"Hehe, it's just too delicious!"

As Hu Xiaobei said this, he grabbed another chicken leg.

These past few days, Hu Xiaobei had been incredibly busy, and therefore hadn't had a chance to have a proper meal. Because of that, the delicious food was now luring out his cravings!

Hearing Hu Xiaobei explain as he reached for more food, they remembered that Hu Xiaobei was an orphan!

Realizing that he usually couldn't eat well, their gazes softened a great deal.

The next moment, Guo Meiyu said softly, "If it tastes good, come every day, and I, your sister-in-law, will cook for you daily!"

"Then thank you, sister-in-law!"

"What are you being polite for? If it hadn't been for you before, I would've drowned in the river long ago!"

Guo Meiyu wasn't ungrateful, so she knew that being alive today was all thanks to Hu Xiaobei's desperate efforts to save her in the past!

Because of that, she felt doing something for Hu Xiaobei was only right.

Hearing Guo Meiyu bring up the incident by the river, Hu Xiaobei took a bite of his chicken leg and said, "Sister-in-law, anyone who had seen what was happening at the time would have rescued you! So don't worry about it!"

"Really?"

Guo Meiyu was noncommittal, knowing that if it had been anyone else, they couldn't possibly have been as decisive as Hu Xiaobei...

Sitting on the side, Su Xueying, listening to the conversation between Hu Xiaobei and Guo Meiyu, remembered how Hu Xiaobei had once helped her remove snake poison. She knew that if it had been someone else, they wouldn't have dared to suck out the snake poison so directly—after all, doing so really meant putting oneself in the utmost danger!

With that thought, Su Xueying gently picked up a chicken leg and placed it on Hu Xiaobei's plate...

"Sister-in-law, you two eat as well!"

Soon, Hu Xiaobei chuckled wryly, as he realized that the two of them were relentlessly serving him more food...

"As long as you eat well, that's fine!"

"Yeah, we made this meal just for you!"

Seeing Hu Xiaobei chuckle, the two of them exchanged a smile. They found watching him eat so heartwarming and felt that whether they ate themselves was really beside the point...

After the meal, Hu Xiaobei and the two of them sat under a jujube tree in the courtyard...

"Xiaobei, tell me and your sister-in-law Xueying, what were you thinking before? Why did you spend two hundred thousand to buy Wang Dagui's land and those fruit trees?"

"Yeah!"

The two ladies were genuinely curious as to why Hu Xiaobei had spent two hundred thousand on them, as it seemed like a total waste of money!

Hearing their question, Hu Xiaobei, rubbing his slightly bloated stomach, explained, "It's very simple, because I'm confident that I can make those fruit trees bloom again!"

"But even if they could bloom again, it would just attract wasps again!"

"Yeah, exactly!"

When they thought of the wasps, they recalled the menacing swarm from earlier and instantly felt a shiver run through their hearts...

Seeing their somewhat frightened expressions, Hu Xiaobei chuckled and said, "Don't worry! Those wasps won't come back again!"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei speak so confidently, they widened their eyes and asked, "So those wasps really were your doing?"

"Yeah, that's right!"

They had previously entertained such a thought, but later found it too incredible to believe, so they dismissed it!

Now, seeing Hu Xiaobei's confident face, they gazed at him blankly...

Noticing their dumbfounded looks, Hu Xiaobei laughed and said, "Yep, I was the one who brought them here!"

"How... How did you do that?"

"Yeah, how?"

Seeing them stare at him like curious babies, Hu Xiaobei's eyes twinkled, "Hehe, give me a kiss and I'll tell you!"

"You little bastard!"

Upon hearing Hu Xiaobei's request, they both pouted angrily, and in the next moment, simultaneously reached out and pinched the soft flesh on Hu Xiaobei's waist, causing him to grimace in pain...

After a while, looking at the bruised area, Hu Xiaobei said with a wry smile, "Sisters-in-law, that was too harsh!"

"Serve you right for spouting nonsense!"

"Yeah, exactly!"

"I was just joking! You guys are overreacting!"

"Hmph..."

Seeing their proud snorts, Hu Xiaobei smiled and said, "Anyway, I had already planned everything before, and those 200,000 won't go to waste! Just wait and enjoy the show!"

"Then we'll wait and see!"

"Okay!"

Having said that, Hu Xiaobei continued chatting with them for a while, and meanwhile, he couldn't help but let his mind wander as he admired their stunning beauty...

...

As night fell, Hu Xiaobei slipped quietly to the back of the village under the cover of darkness...

He knew no one would come this way now, so it was time to make some changes to those fruit trees...

Upon reaching the spot, Hu Xiaobei was just about to do something, when he suddenly heard rustling sounds...

Turning his head, Hu Xiaobei saw Xiaobai, all white, wagging its tail towards him!

After gently stroking its fur, Hu Xiaobei asked, "Xiaobai, why haven't you gone back?"

"Whoo..."

After understanding what it wanted to convey, Hu Xiaobei whispered, "Miss me? Want to come back to the village with me from now on?"

Having said this, Hu Xiaobei saw its tail wag furiously, instantly knowing that it really wanted to return with him...

"Alright, you can come back to the village with me after this, but first, I have some serious business to take care of!"

With that said, Hu Xiaobei summoned the Nine Wood True Qi from within his Dantian, directing it out and gradually infusing it into the damaged fruit trees one by one. Afterward, Hu Xiaobei looked at them and declared, "Tomorrow will be the day to witness a miracle!"

After finishing his declaration, Hu Xiaobei called out to Xiaobai, and soon, man and Wolf quickly made their exit...
