Liu Xialian smiled and said, "If Sister Guilan can't leave Brother Xu, I will transfer him back and let him fish and hunt at home instead of running the restaurant?"

When Guilan heard this, she suddenly remembered that Liu Xia Lian was her boss, Lao Xu.

Xu Shiba is the manager of the hotel. Since it has just opened, there are definitely a lot of things that need to be managed, so he doesn't come back very often, only once or twice occasionally.

In the past, Lao Xu dreamed of earning dozens of yuan a month. Now, he has made more than 4,000 yuan in two months. From relying entirely on manpower to plow the fields and pull carts, he now has bought two donkeys. This is a complete leap that has changed his destiny.

The four children will have enough food and drink and they no longer have to wear patched clothes. Next year, the eldest and second child can be sent to the village primary school.

"Well, sister Xia Lian, come in. I'll make you some tea. As for Old Xu, let him stay at the Forest Farm Hotel. If he comes back, I'm worried that I'll have to give birth to a fifth child next year."

"Sister-in-law, you are so funny. You two are so lucky. You already have four children, and you are still thinking about having a fifth?"

Guilan sighed: "This, this is not a solution, right?"

Liu Xia Lian suddenly understood that there were almost no birth control measures in rural areas at that time, and it would take another one or two years before birth control was widely promoted in rural areas.

"Li Hu, Xu Xiong, you two walk around here carefully. I'll chat with Sister Guilan."

"Okay, sister, we're nearby." The two of them went out to wander the streets carrying guns. It was a big deal that wolves had entered the village and they had to be completely eliminated.

Guilan asked Xia Lian: "Why do you have more than a dozen donkeys? Are you going to start a breeding farm?"

"Yes, the most needed animals in the village for pulling carts, plowing the fields and transporting goods are mules and horses, so we want to raise fewer. I saw that Brother Xu bought two for his family. Is he planning to have a donkey or a mule?"

"A two-year-old donkey is only worth a thousand yuan, but a two-year-old mule is worth seventy or eighty thousand yuan. Does your breeding farm need people? I don't think your mother can handle it alone."

Liu Xia Lian was a little surprised: "Sister-in-law Guilan, you are taking care of four children, and you still want to work?"

Guilan smiled and said, "I'm not thinking about money, I just don't want the gap between me and Lao Xu to grow too big. Lao Xu is now a hotel manager, with salary plus bonus, more than 100 yuan a month, and occasionally a lot of extra income. Once the income increases, the family status changes. In the past, whatever I said was the final word, but now Lao Xu has the momentum of rebellion. If I let it go on like this, he will shit on my neck."

Liu Xia Lian thought for a moment and realized that the mule and horse farm must hire people, and it was impossible to rely on her alone.

"Sister-in-law, the mule and horse breeding farm requires a large investment and a slow return on investment. There will be no income in the next two to three years. Therefore, the salary offered by the breeding farm will not be high. Forty yuan a month, plus a few yuan in bonuses depending on the situation. Can you accept it?"

Guilan nodded repeatedly: "I can accept it, I can accept it. The main reason is that I love breeding. The animals I raise are good and fat. When my donkey first came, it was very thin. In just over a month, it has gained dozens of kilograms."

"Then you can go to work tomorrow. My mother will be in charge of the wild boars, and you will be in charge of the donkeys. The two of you will work together and be more efficient. We will continue to expand, and when the new site is built next year, you will be in charge of it independently."

That being said, the matter was settled, and outside one could hear the continuous sound of old cannon barrels.

Liu Xia Lian hurried out to the street with a rifle in hand, and saw a dozen young men surrounding three wild wolves behind a haystack.

The village chief shouted quickly, "Don't shoot, old gunner. The haystack is too big. It will be troublesome if it catches fire. Shoot at an angle with your shotgun."

The village chief looked at Liu Xialian and said, "You have a good rifle. You should be able to shoot."

Liu Xia Lian smiled and said, "With so many experienced hunters, they can still use a girl like me. I'll just watch here."

Li Hu and Xu Xiong did not take any action nearby, because this was a hunter who was discovered and surrounded by other hunters. If Liu Xia Lian forced her way forward, she would be considered as stealing business.

Several old hunters were also veterans. They half-crouched and opened fire. The steel balls in the shotgun shells knocked the wolves to the ground. The hunters used iron forks to finish off the wolves, then checked the haystacks and made sure there were no hidden dangers before they felt relieved.

There are many firearms in the villages these days, and almost every village has soldiers, so the combat effectiveness is very high.

The village chief calculated for a moment and said, "Liu Xialian has killed one, and just now she killed three more, so that should be enough. The hunters and militia should continue searching, and those without guns should go home, as we still have to work tomorrow."

The main reason was that there were too many people and it was chaotic. The old cannon's gun could hit a large area at once, causing easy casualties.

The search lasted until after 3 a.m., and they had searched almost every corner of the village. After confirming that there was no threat from wild wolves, the village chief arranged for everyone to go home and sleep. Li Hu and Xu Xiong were also tired, so they went back to sleep.

Liu Xialian felt something was wrong. How dare four wolves enter the village? Even if it was for revenge, they wouldn't do that. Wolves have high IQs, so there must be more wolves.

"The area under the bridge in the ditch hasn't been searched yet. I'll go check it out."

Lijiatun is built in a relatively scattered manner. There is a drainage river in the middle of the village. There is heavy rain in the summer, but there is basically no water in the winter.

I brought the hunting dog to the bridge. The situation here was rather special, as the water flow covered up the smell.

The bridge hole is about five or six meters wide and only one and a half to six meters high. It is very dangerous for both people and hunting dogs to enter.

To make a show of force, first load the bullets into the shotgun, then throw a firecracker into the bridge hole.

Firecrackers don't have much killing power, but they make a very loud sound. After two bangs, three black shadows jumped out of the bridge hole and ran north at a very fast speed. Liu Xia Lian fired four shots in a row, and the three black shadows fell to the ground. This is the advantage of shotguns. There is no need to aim, and you can kill at close range.

The three wild wolves were big, about 60 to 70 kilograms. Wolf fur was better in winter and could be sold at a good price. Liu Xialian was thinking about whether to sell them. Suddenly, she thought of the brown bear in the space, which was boring, so she took the three wolves in. This space was like a small world. Liu Xialian could divide it at will, that is, she could separate a piece for the three wolves to avoid a big fight with the brown bear. There were small animals such as hares and roe deer in the woods, which were enough for the wolves to eat. They could achieve a balance and not destroy the ecology.

Three wolves were sprawled on the ground in the space, with only their bellies rising and falling; the rest of them looked almost dead.

As soon as the gunshots were heard, the village chief arrived shortly afterwards. He was not even fully dressed, and it was obvious that he had just arrived home. He asked, "What's going on? Did you spot a wolf?"

"I found them. There were three of them hiding under the bridge. I fired a few shots and they ran north along the river. It was too dark and I didn't dare to chase them alone," said Liu Xia Lian.
