Chapter 71 Visitors from the Zhou family
Yue Feng grinned: “Hey, don’t mention it! I kicked the ball at my feet to chase a rabbit, but it didn’t even run ten meters before it was pinned down by an eagle!

This eagle has never caught a rabbit before, it just works with brute force. When Xiao Tao and I heard the rabbit calling, we went over to take a look. Guess what happened?”

Yue Lei glanced at his son with displeasure: “You little bastard, you are still keeping me in suspense. If you continue to show off, I will beat you up!”

“Hehe, I saw the eagle grabbing the rabbit’s butt with one claw and the rabbit’s waist with the other claw, and then using brute force to press the rabbit’s lower body, and stepped on the rabbit and made it scream!”

Anyone who understands the eagle catching rabbits knows that the rabbit will only let out that kind of scream when it feels completely desperate. If there is any chance of struggling and escaping, it will not even scream.

When an eagle catches a rabbit, it usually uses skills to subdue its prey. It is rare to see a great red eagle that can subdue a rabbit purely by brute force.

“How big is the rabbit?” Yue Lei nodded and asked another question.

Yue Feng didn’t say anything, but gave Xiao Tao a look.

Xiao Tao immediately took the rabbit out of the bag.

“It’s not too small. This rabbit must be three to three and a half kilograms!”

“Well! This eagle has become tamed now. It should be a good hunter! Today the eagle has made a big crop. Let’s stay up all night and try to catch two tomorrow. We will be able to release it tamed the day after tomorrow!” Yue Feng muttered to himself as he stroked the eagle’s tail.

“Hey, are you all home?”

Just as Yue Feng, Xiao Tao and Yue Lei were chatting in the yard, a middle-aged man in his forties pushed open the door of Yue Feng’s house.

Yue Feng turned his head and after seeing the person’s face clearly, the smiling expression on his face a second ago immediately turned cold.

“Who did I think it was? It turns out to be Uncle Zhou. What brings you here?” Yue Feng greeted him with a forced smile.

“Hey, sure! Brother Yue Lei, how is your leg injury recovering? I’ve been busy lately and haven’t had any free time. Today I happened to be free, so I came to see you!”

Zhou Jianjun expressed hypocritical concern.

“You come to see me with empty paws. You old Zhou family really understand the ways of the world!”

At this time, Xiao Tao, who had been silent, also started to act up.

Zhou Jianjun is 42 years old this year. He is a well-known capable man in the village. The Zhou family is one of the representatives of the old households in the village. The Zhou family, the Zhang family, and the Wang family are all old and big families in the village with large populations and considerable influence.

Yue Feng’s previous job at the forest farm was found by Yue Lei at his request. When he received the money, he made great promises and patted his chest loudly. However, Yue Feng had only worked there for a few days when he was ostracized for no reason. Yue Feng was so angry that he started a fight with the people who had picked the fight, but was beaten unconscious by that group of vagrants.

You know, when Zhou Jianjun was looking for a job for Yue Feng in the forest farm, he took 45 yuan from the Yue family!

It was said that he would go in and do the job first, and when a vacancy became available, Yue Feng would be given a formal position.

But after Yue Feng was injured and returned home, Zhou Jianjun never showed up again. Unexpectedly, he would come to his house on his own initiative today.

Yue Lei also gave Zhou Jianjun a look with a fake smile: “Xiao Tao, how can you talk to your Uncle Zhou like that? It’s rude!
It’s good enough that Uncle Zhou has this intention. It doesn’t matter whether it’s something or not. We don’t lack these things at home now!

Jianjun, my legs and feet are not very strong, so I won’t invite you in. What are you talking about? Are you here to return the 45 yuan you gave to Xiaofeng for arranging a job?” “Brother Yue Lei, what you said makes me embarrassed!
I really had a lot to do with Xiaofeng’s going to the forest farm. I only kept ten yuan of the money for myself, and used the rest to entertain and give gifts to the head of the forest farm. That Wang Erhu was so dishonest. He accepted my gift and cheated me!
I heard that Xiaofeng was beaten, so I went to the forest farm to find him. But that grandson was drunk and beat me up too. If you don’t believe me, look, the blood scab on my hand hasn’t healed yet!
This time I came here to give you the remaining money!

Since the matter was not done well, I, Zhou Jianjun, owe your family a favor. We are all relatives in the village. I will make up for it sooner or later. I will definitely make it up to my eldest nephew!”

As he spoke, Zhou Jianjun took out two five-yuan bills from his pocket and handed them to Yue Lei in public.

He spent 45 yuan, got 10 yuan back, and the remaining yuan was missing. However, after getting the money, Yue Lei’s expression was obviously much more relaxed.

“Okay, at least you have given an explanation. We will accept the loss of finding a job for Xiaofeng!” Yue Lei put the banknotes into his pocket.

Zhou Jianjun returned the ten yuan and hoped that Yue Lei would let him into the house and find a topic to continue the conversation. However, he did not expect that after Yue Lei took the money, he still had no intention of entertaining Zhou Jianjun. He just sat in the yard, fiddling with the pine nuts in his hand.

The scene was somewhat awkward for a moment.

After about thirty seconds, Zhou Jianjun couldn’t hold it anymore.

“Um, well, is this the big eagle that Xiaofeng just trained? It looks really powerful, and even prettier than the colorful rooster in the village!” Zhou Jianjun said in a nonchalant voice.

Yue Feng nodded: “Yes, Uncle Zhou, it’s almost winter and there’s nothing to do at home! Just keep it for fun!”

Still refusing to give any further conversation, Zhou Jianjun didn’t know how to respond and the situation became somewhat stalemate again.

However, the reason why Zhou Jianjun is recognized as a capable person in the village is that he is shameless enough to swallow his pride.

Seeing that Yue Lei and his son were not interested and did not ask if there was anything else, Zhou Jianjun had no choice but to bite the bullet and explain his purpose.

“Well, actually, this time I came here, besides giving money, I also have a small business. I want help to connect some people! If this thing is done well, it can make a lot of money!” Zhou Jianjun continued to talk to himself.

“What business, Uncle Zhou?” Yue Feng knew that Zhou Jianjun was up to no good, but he was also curious about what the other party wanted to do, so he asked.

From the time Yue Feng got into trouble in his previous life until Yue Lei’s accidental death, Zhou Jianjun never showed up.

Meng Yulan went to Zhou’s house several times to look for him, but she kept trying to get by without any result. Later, as an orphan and a widow, she could not compete with the wealthy Zhou family in the village, and the matter was finally left unresolved.

“I have a friend in the city’s military control committee, and he’s asking around for people who can train hawks! He wants to find someone to help him buy a few trained falcons! And I heard that my ancestors knew how to do this, and now they fly hawks out every day, so I came here to ask, are you selling my hawks?”

After hearing Zhou Jianjun’s words, Yue Feng instantly knew what the other party was planning.

He said that his friends in the city asked him for help, but in fact, there was a 99% chance that he was jealous of Yue Feng’s business of making money by flying hawks.

After all, it had not been long since Yue Feng bought a new bicycle in the village, and now he had tied a big eagle to it and was strolling around the village every day.

The Zhou family thought about how to make money and came up with an idea.
