Back to 1984: I built a chicken farm on a barren mountain.

Han Laosi was already annoyed by the dead rats, and when the workers told him to go outside and take a look, he became even more irritated and said:

"What's going on outside?"

"Go take a look, someone has smeared excrement on the walls outside the factory!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaofen recalled the sight of the big yellow dog eating the dead rat earlier, and finally couldn't hold back any longer, so she vomited.

Han Laosi frowned, put his hands behind his back, and followed the workers outside the factory to take a look. Not only were there excrements on the walls, but what was most infuriating was that a lot of excrement had also been splashed at the factory gate.

Han Lao Si, with a cold face, remained relatively calm and said:

"Stop making a fuss, everyone come and clean up."

As the workers arrived one after another, Han Laosi divided them into two groups: one group cleaned up the excrement outside, and the other group cleaned up the dead rats in the yard. Early in the morning, everyone was busy and happy.

Han Laosi and Qin Xiaofen sat in the office, neither of them speaking.

By this time, Qin Xiaofen had recovered a little. Han Laosi poured her a glass of water, but after taking a sip, she felt nauseous again.

At this moment, another worker rushed in through the door. Seeing Qin Xiaofen there, the worker felt embarrassed. Han Laosi said:

"Why are you becoming more and more unruly? Didn't I tell you to knock before entering my office? Knock!"

The worker awkwardly went out the door, then knocked again. Old Han said:

"What is it?"

Just as the worker was about to enter, Han Laosi started cursing:

"Did they say outside that they'd let you in?"

The worker cursed Han Laosi hundreds of times in his heart and said:

"Boss, someone got bitten by that big yellow dog!"

"Damn, why didn't you say so earlier?"

Han Laosi hurriedly ran out of the house. The worker thought to himself, "You damn well told me not to say anything, and now you're blaming me!"

It turned out that when the workers were cleaning up the dead rats in the yard, one of the rats wasn't quite dead and crawled up to the big yellow dog. Just as one of the workers was about to pick up the rat, the big yellow dog, protective of its food, rushed over.

Although the big yellow dog was usually possessive of its food, Li Dahua loved it dearly and would often save up leftover bones to feed it. However, since Li Dahua went back to her parents' home, Han Laosi's mind was half on the soy sauce factory and half on Qin Xiaofen, and he never thought of improving the dog's life.

This dog hadn't eaten meat in a long time, and this time, having tasted raw meat again, its food-guarding instincts were triggered.

The worker thought he could scare the big yellow dog away, but unexpectedly the dog suddenly became agitated and bit the worker's wrist while trying to snatch the mouse.

Fortunately, the big yellow dog released its grip after biting, but even so, the worker's wrist was still badly injured.

Han Laosi checked the worker's wound and, seeing that he hadn't bitten into the bone, quickly ordered someone to wash it with soapy water and then had someone bring some white sugar to sprinkle on it, preparing to use it to clean the wound.

At that time, there were no facilities for rabies vaccination in rural areas, so this kind of folk remedy was commonly used.

The worker, enduring the pain, cursed:

"That damn dog, it turns on me so easily. And I even feed it regularly!"

A handful of white sugar was poured down, and the worker finally couldn't bear the pain and screamed.

The big yellow dog had no idea it had caused trouble. Hearing the workers howling, it started howling too. As the big yellow dog howled, several stray dogs that usually played with it also started howling outside the wall.

Han Laosi was annoyed. Why was it so lively so early in the morning?

He swung a wooden stick at the big yellow dog, which was hit a few times and dared not bark anymore. But as Han Laosi became more and more ruthless, the dog also became aggressive, baring its teeth at Han Laosi and struggling with low growls.

If the big yellow dog hadn't been on a leash, it would have pounced on Han Laosi long ago.

When Han Laosi saw the big yellow dog barking at him, anger rose in his heart. He gripped the wooden stick in his hand even tighter, about to smash it down on the dog, when Hou Laizi stopped him.

"Fourth Uncle, please! This is Aunt Da Hua's dog after all. If we kill it, she'll come back and cause trouble, and we won't be able to explain it!"

When Han Laosi saw Hou Laizi hugging him, he thought about how he still owed Li Dahua, so he put the stick down.

Hou Laizi shouted at the big yellow dog:

"Get over there and lie down on your stomach!"

The big yellow dog seemed to understand, as if it knew that Hou Laizi had saved it, and went to lie down in the corner with its ears drooping.

Han Laosi tossed the stick aside and saw that Hou Laizi was soaking wet, as if he had just taken a bath or was covered in sweat. He said:

"Hey, if you hadn't stopped me, I would have beaten this beast to death. He's just causing trouble for his mother, he's completely useless. He doesn't even warn us when people come to the factory tonight to cause trouble."

After saying that, Han Laosi stormed off in a huff.

People worked for a while, cleaning up the rats in the yard and washing away the droppings at the door and on the outer walls.

Hou Laizi casually strolled over to the big yellow dog, took out a bone with meat on it from his pocket, and tossed it over. The big yellow dog held the bone in its mouth and circled around Hou Laizi's feet for a long time before finally lying down and slowly eating it.

Hou Laizi watched the big yellow dog eat with relish and thought to himself, "Big Yellow, this bone is compensation for you. After all, you didn't bark when I threw rats in and poured manure at the door yesterday."

It turns out that the dead rat and the dung were the work of Hou Laizi and Niu Er.

Niu Er got the dead rat by exchanging eggs with the rat poison seller. Niu Er even repeatedly confirmed with the rat poison seller whether the dead rat was poisonous.

When pressed by the questions, the rat poison seller replied:

"What poison? These were all caught by my cat. I caught these rats to show people that my rat poison works. But what good is it? They're just sweet peas I made myself. I'll eat some and show you!"

The man who sold rat poison ate two packets of it, yet remained calm and composed.

Niu Er learned the inside story of the rat poison, but he also swore to the rat poison seller that he would never tell anyone, otherwise his child would be born without an anus.

The rat poison seller was relieved after hearing Niu Er's solemn oath, and he happily took the eggs he had received in exchange.

Niu Er repeatedly confirmed the information because he was afraid of poisoning the big yellow dog. After all, when they threw it in, they couldn't guarantee that they would avoid the big yellow dog.

Niu Er and Hou Laizi were busy for most of the night before they quietly returned to Jiming Mountain. They also felt that they smelled bad, so they took a bath that very night.

Hou Laizi slept on Jiming Mountain for the first time. He slept soundly, but when he woke up, he found that he was in a hurry to get to work, so he ran all the way to the soy sauce factory. He was so tired from running that he was covered in sweat. Fortunately, he ran fast and managed to save the big yellow dog.

After all that commotion at the soy sauce factory, Han Laosi had long forgotten about taking revenge on Chen Wenfeng.

Qin Xiaofen didn't eat breakfast or lunch.

Li Cuie arrived in the evening.

When Qin Xiaofen saw Li Cuie arrive, she felt dizzy, followed by a constant rumbling in her stomach. She said to Han Laosi:

"President Han, I'm starving and I'm afraid I won't be able to talk to Li Cuie. Please get me something to eat first!"
