It was also while Hu Dahai was busy developing the women's clothing project.

In the Qunyi Brigade, Gu Huaiyuan has been idle lately, even though the chicken plague has been brought under control with the help of experts.

However, to avoid being troubled by chicken plague again, almost all farmers have chosen to temporarily stop raising chickens and ducks. They will wait until the chicken plague is completely over before they start raising them again.

So Gu Huaiyuan has been idling around every day lately, wandering around the Qunyi Brigade.

When he saw that Hu Dahai's off-season vegetables and wood ear mushroom cultivation were thriving, with a large number of people coming to buy goods every day and a large amount of cash flowing into Hu Dahai's pocket.

It would be a lie for Gu Huaiyuan to say he wasn't envious.

After all, he was involved in some small businesses and had experienced the thrill of making money through small ventures.

Therefore, they were even more envious than the ordinary people in the brigade.

"Damn it, how can Hu Dahai be so lucky?" Gu Huaiyuan said indignantly, "I always lose money when I try to do business, so why is it that Hu Dahai's business is booming and going smoothly?"

Unable to bear seeing Hu Dahai being better than himself, Gu Huaiyuan decided to avoid seeing him and went to play cards with others.

The place where Gu Huaiyuan played cards was actually the same place where Zhang Zude used to play cards.

Du Wu from the Lingdong Brigade also usually plays cards here.

The reason Zhang Zude and Du Wu were able to get in touch last time was mainly because he and Du Wu often played cards together, talking while playing cards, and over time they became familiar with each other.

After Gu Huaiyuan played cards here for a few days, Du Wu also noticed this newcomer who didn't usually come here. After asking around, he learned that he was also from the Qunyi Brigade.

Based on the principle that gambling buddies are all friends, Du Wu and Gu Huaiyuan quickly became acquainted.

At the same time, Du Wu also sensed from Gu Huaiyuan's words that Gu Huaiyuan was somewhat resentful or even jealous of Hu Dahai.

Du Wu felt a deep resentment when he thought about how, because of Hu Dahai, they had worked so hard to grow cucumbers that never bore fruit.

As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Gu Huaiyuan and Du Wu quickly became sworn brothers. Du Wu also learned about the grudge between Gu Huaiyuan and Hu Dahai from Gu Huaiyuan's words.

Although there was no serious conflict between the two, that did not stop Du Wu from exaggerating the conflict and making Gu Huaiyuan feel that Hu Dahai's existence was his enemy.

Sure enough, as Du Wu kept rambling on and on, Gu Huaiyuan really started to think that Hu Dahai wasn't a good person.

However, Du Wu and the others did not immediately ask Gu Huaiyuan to do anything that would be detrimental to Hu Dahai.

After their previous experience of treating Zhang Zude's fruitless seeds as treasures, Du Wu and Du Tianchuan are no longer very trusting of others, and they have decided to handle many things personally.

That evening, Du Wu told Du Tianchuan about Gu Huaiyuan.

"Brother-in-law, what do you think we should do to make use of Gu Huaiyuan, stir up some trouble, and make Hu Dahai suffer too?"

Du Wu said with anticipation, "We can't keep suffering losses all the time."

Du Tianchuan remained silent, deep in thought.

In fact, this matter has never been over in his heart.

The main reason he has been unable to be subdued recently is that he is waiting for Li Ruochun and his group to make their move.

Because Li Ruochun had said in person that when his subordinate, Master Quanshan, returned, he would have Master Quanshan go and meet Hu Dahai.

Du Tianchuan knew exactly who Quan Shan was, and he believed that with Master Quan Shan's help, Hu Dahai was bound to be in trouble.

But no matter how long they waited, Master Quanshan, who was supposed to return in about a month, never came back. Summer had turned into winter, and there wasn't a single person in sight.

Now that Li Ruochun has returned to Hong Kong, he feels that there is even less hope for this matter.

Du Tianchuan guessed that Li Ruochun had probably completely forgotten about the matter, and it seemed that they would have to handle the rest themselves.

Thinking of this, he said, "This matter is not so simple. We must find a very suitable reason, otherwise it may cause us losses."

Du Wu sighed: "That's true. I heard from Gu Huaiyuan that Hu Dahai not only has off-season vegetables, but also a black fungus cultivation room. His fresh black fungus sells very well in the market!"

"I wonder what kind of luck Hu Dahai has that allows him to make more and more money."

"Fresh wood ear mushrooms?" Upon hearing this, Du Tianchuan immediately perked up. "You mean Hu Dahai sells fresh wood ear mushrooms? Fresh wood ear mushrooms are edible? Won't they make you itchy?"

Du Wu scratched his head: "At first I also felt a bit strange, but then Gu Huaiyuan told me that Hu Dahai's wood ear mushrooms seemed to be modified, and that eating them would be fine and wouldn't cause itching."

"Is there such a thing?" Du Tianchuan was completely baffled. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't figure out what kind of technology could allow people to eat fresh wood ear mushrooms with peace of mind.

"Could it be that there's another kind of toxicity?" Du Tianchuan said, somewhat disbelievingly.

However, just as Du Tianchuan finished speaking his doubts, Du Wu seemed to have suddenly realized something, as if his Ren and Du meridians had been opened.

He slammed his hand on the table and exclaimed, "I've got it!"

Du Tianchuan was deep in thought when Du Wu's sudden slap startled him.

What are you doing? Why are you so startled!

Du Wu chuckled and scratched his head: "I just thought of a great idea!"

"Oh? Tell me about it!" Du Tianchuan became somewhat interested.

“You just said it’s poisonous, so I thought of a way. We just need to find someone to go to the market, pretend that we bought Hu Dahai’s fresh wood ear mushrooms, and then say that we ate his fresh wood ear mushrooms and got poisoned.”

"That's a bit difficult to fake. How can you convincingly portray someone as poisoned? It's quite challenging, isn't it? If it's fake, it'll be easily detected." Du Tianchuan was clearly tempted, but after thinking for a while, he realized some inappropriate points and shook his head, asking the question.

“That’s not difficult,” Du Wu continued confidently. “We just need to find some people and have them actually ingest a small amount of mild poison, and then they’ll develop symptoms.”

"We'll talk to Gu Huaiyuan then. As long as those people with symptoms make a fuss, we'll have Gu Huaiyuan say a few words, like, 'I'm also from the Qunyi Brigade. I saw Hu Dahai spraying medicine on these fresh wood ear mushrooms a long time ago.'"

"In this way, everyone will definitely believe to some extent that with our people encouraging them from behind, they can definitely overturn that stall selling fresh wood ear mushrooms."

"Then we'll continue to spread rumors throughout Hangzhou, which will not only prevent Hu Dahai from selling his goods, but also allow us to seek compensation from him. By then, Hu Dahai's image will be completely ruined in the eyes of those who sell his goods."
