Thank you "Mr. Introverted Sauciness" for the reward, much appreciated, please favorite. The ticket recommendation has not been strong these past days. Speaking of the plot, it fluctuates, right? There are climaxes and preparations, especially in urban literature. It's not possible for it to be like fantasy Immortal Hero novels, where one wave falls and another rises, battling fiercely.

...

Since starting operations less than half a year ago, the Chicken Farm has already made more than six hundred thousand, and continues to profit every day. Wang Xiaoqiang is neither stingy nor a miser. The week before the new year, not only did he fully prepare for the holiday, but he also bought two sets of winter clothes for each of his parents and his sister-in-law.

All were purchased from the specialty stores in the German Silver Mall in the county town, made of woolen material that country folks would hesitate to wear. Wearing the new clothes, Wang Kuishan felt extremely proud. His son was successful, and it reflected well on him too. Wherever he went, people would offer flattering remarks.

Wang Kuishan didn't become arrogant but remained polite when talking to others.

On Xia Guifang's day off, Wang Xiaoqiang took her to the county town and bought her two articles of clothing: a white down jacket and a rose-red cinched waistcoat.

Wang Xiaoqiang liked these two colors, white for purity and red for festivity.

Xia Guifang well understood Wang Xiaoqiang's intentions; clearly, he didn't consider her an outsider. Her heart warmed, and she became much more proactive in her attitude towards Wang Xiaoqiang.

On New Year's Eve, early in the morning, Wang Xiaoqiang got up, wrote couplets, and pasted door paintings. Wang Xiaoqiang's calligraphy was quite good. Besides Elder Deyun, who was talented and virtuous, no one in the village could match Wang Xiaoqiang's writing.

Liu Juyi was in charge of cooking the New Year's Eve dinner, fully showcasing her culinary skills by preparing ten dishes, symbolizing perfection. Wang Kuishan and his wife were responsible for cleaning the house, hanging a beautiful mountain and water embroidery done by their daughter-in-law in the main room. The family, busy yet happy, gathered as dusk fell.

It started to snow, heavy flakes swirling down, firecrackers sounding, fully festive. The family sat together watching the Spring Festival gala. Whereas before they used to eat the New Year's Eve dinner at the crack of dawn, now it had been moved to midnight. After watching the gala, they began their New Year's Eve dinner, enjoying familial bliss.

On New Year's Day, Xia Guifang wore the rose-red cinched waistcoat Wang Xiaoqiang had bought her, to pay a New Year's visit to Wang Xiaoqiang's parents.

The rose-red cinched waistcoat not only highlighted the festive atmosphere but also made Xia Guifang's delicate face particularly radiant and attractive. The cinched design accentuated her graceful waist, making her look charming and elegant.

Seeing Xia Guifang in her red outfit, like a new bride coming to greet them, Wang Kuishan and his wife were thrilled and even gave her six hundred yuan as a New Year's gift.

Wang Xiaoqiang also returned to the Xia Family to pay a visit to Xia Guifang's parents. Xia Sanwa no longer called Wang Xiaoqiang "son-in-law", worried it might scare him off like last time, and instead hosted a rich banquet for Wang Xiaoqiang.

At the banquet, Xia Sanwa was very happy and frequently urged Wang Xiaoqiang to drink.

In just under half a year, Xia Guifang and her mother had earned nearly thirty thousand from Wang Xiaoqiang's chicken farm, and he had made more than twenty thousand from doing business. Together, that was fifty thousand yuan. Save another fifty thousand and they could pay back the Guo Family's dowry money from the county town.

Of course, what truly thrilled them was Wang Xiaoqiang coming to greet them for the New Year; it signified his acknowledgment of his relationship with Little Fang. If their daughter could really marry Wang Xiaoqiang, the Xia Family would indeed be catching a golden turtle son-in-law.

Xia Guifang's mother was also very happy. They only had this one daughter, whom they had raised like a son from childhood. Their later life depended on her, naturally, they didn't want her to marry far. Marrying Wang Xiaoqiang from the same village was something they fervently hoped for.

"Did the Guo Family come asking for the dowry money?" After a few drinks, Wang Xiaoqiang remembered something important.

"No," Xia Sanwa said.

"If the Guo Family doesn't come asking, don't go out of your way to repay them," Wang Xiaoqiang instructed. "However, if they really do come asking, we must pay them back in full. We don't owe them anything..."

"Yes, absolutely…" Xia Sanwa agreed verbally, but his heart sank. To be honest, if the Guo Family really came asking for the money, he truly could not come up with one hundred thousand yuan.

"Don't worry, I will handle this money," Wang Xiaoqiang said, knowing Xia Sanwa couldn't come up with that much money, and spoke out directly.

"Little Qiang, that really isn't necessary, how could we let you do that… running a factory isn't easy either…" Xia Guifang's mother immediately said.

"It's okay, 100,000 yuan is just a little money to me," Wang Xiaoqiang declared with a wave of his hand.

Xia Sanwa's eyes brightened, but he didn't say much else, just had Xia Guifang pour more liquor for Wang Xiaoqiang.

The liquor Xia Sanwa prepared was strong—67% Hengshui liquor. Wang Xiaoqiang wasn't a regular drinker and after a few drinks, he felt dizzy. Seeing Xia Guifang about to pour him another, he quickly intervened, "No more, I'll get drunk if I drink any more..."

Xia Sanwa said, "What's wrong with getting drunk? We have plenty of space for you to lie down. Just drink, come on, I'll drink with you..."

Xia Sanwa took the bottle from his daughter's hand and personally poured Wang Xiaoqiang another drink.

Xia Sanwa was a heavy drinker, drinking liquor as if it were water. Wang Xiaoqiang, a novice at the drinking table, was no match for him and was quickly intoxicated.

Wang Xiaoqiang felt severely dizzy, leaning on the table, feeling everything spinning around him.

Despite the dizziness, he still kept a part of his mind clear. He heard Xia Sanwa's voice saying, "Little Fang, help Little Qiang to your room to sleep..."

"Dad, this..." Xia Guifang's voice was shy.

"It's fine, darling, Little Qiang is so drunk. Go on, help him into the room to rest before letting him leave," said Xia Guifang's Mother decisively.

"Well, okay!" Xia Guifang said timidly.

Xia Guifang helped Wang Xiaoqiang up, and as he moved, his head felt even dizzier. However, at this moment, he could feel the cool sensation emitting from the Five Elements Spirit Spring at his forehead, clearing his mind.

Previously, whenever he used his brain, the Five Elements Spirit Spring at his forehead would emit a cooling sensation, clarifying his thoughts, but he hadn't expected it to also alleviate the dizziness caused by alcohol,

Wang Xiaoqiang rarely drank liquor, usually only one or two bottles of beer that never caused any dizziness, so he had never discovered this wonderful effect of the Five Elements Spirit Spring. This unexpected discovery was pleasantly surprising.

From now on, if he were to compete in drinking with someone, he could definitely drink them under the table!

Wang Xiaoqiang's gradually clarifying mind could feel Xia Guifang's soft yet strong arms supporting him, pulling him up. Then she draped his arm over her tender neck, wrapped her right arm around his waist, and shakily helped him towards a room.

To sober himself up faster, Wang Xiaoqiang willed the Wangxing Spring at his heart to move towards his forehead, emitting waves of cool air. With the dual cooling forces at work, his dizzy mind was largely sobered up by the time Xia Guifang helped him onto the bed, and Wang Xiaoqiang was completely sober.

"Whew... so heavy!" Xia Guifang exhaled. She hadn't expected the typically skinny Wang Xiaoqiang to be so heavy. She really wanted to check if his body was all muscular but eventually, Xia Guifang decided against it.

She bent over to take off Wang Xiaoqiang's shoes, knelt by the bed, adjusted his position, pulled the covers over him, and was about to get off the bed when she was suddenly gripped by a pair of hands.

"Ah... you... you aren't drunk?!" Xia Guifang exclaimed, her voice laced with panic and shyness.

Outside, Xia Sanwa, who had been eavesdropping at the door, suddenly heard his daughter's startled scream. His face turned puzzled, feeling surprised because he had made Wang Xiaoqiang drink close to eight taels of Hengshui liquor; he shouldn't be sober, yet Xia Guifang claimed he wasn't drunk.

At the sound, Xia Guifang's mother also pressed her ear to the door and began listening. Then she heard the voice inside pick up again:
