After all, the two haven't officially established a relationship yet. Li Xiuyuan's plan is to slowly cultivate their feelings first. When they reach that point, things will naturally fall into place. In Li Xiuyuan's plan, it should be at the end of this year or the beginning of this year.

Then, leave six months for the two of them to spend time together. By the time the project in Meilin Village is completed, Su Ziying's teaching career may also be over. At that time, we will try to get Su Ziying to stay.

Monday morning was bustling with activity in Meilin Village. With only one week left, the second phase of the project was about to begin. The village had started organizing the registration of migrant workers needed for the second phase, and those who were to be relocated had also begun to move.

The five households led by Wang Yongde, looking at this lively scene, felt somewhat uneasy, because since Li Xiuyuan's visit last week, no one had come to persuade them.

Of the more than 100 households whose land was relocated, only these five households remain. The two households whose land was relocated are doing okay, but the three households whose land was relocated are now very anxious.

Because the newly planned houses along the riverbank are already the ones that people have rejected, if they persist until now and don't get more compensation, they will be at a great disadvantage.

In fact, the two households that occupied the land were in the same situation. At first, the land that the village compensated them with was either in a good location or was of good quality and could produce grain. But now, many of them have been exchanged, and the remaining land is not so good.

Early Monday morning, the four families gathered at Wang Yongde's house, asking him to make a decision.

"Brother Yongde, it seems like the relocation is almost complete. How long are we supposed to wait? How much money will we get in the end?"

"Could they really be changing the village's plans? If the plans have been altered, then..."

To be honest, if they could move into new houses, they would definitely prefer to. Firstly, the new houses on the planning map are beautiful, and secondly, the Blackwater River has been transformed into the River of Happiness. According to the plan, those of them who were relocated can run agritourism businesses or something similar by moving to the River of Happiness, which will increase their income.

It's just that they're greedy now, wanting more demolition compensation.

"Yongde, have you spoken to Mayor Wang to find out what he really means?"

As everyone looked at Wang Yongde, they all spoke up. They also had their own connections, but the problem was that none of them were currently in charge. Only Wang Yongde's cousin, Wang Zhixing, was the deputy mayor of the town, who was currently in charge.

Wang Yongde was smoking his pipe, the stem of which tapped against the edge of the table with a "thump-thump" sound, interrupting everyone's conversation.

"Don't panic, stay calm. The more this is the case, the more we need to stay calm. That young punk surnamed Li is playing a game of feigned indifference. We're all in our forties and fifties, are we really less composed than a young punk?"

Everyone understood what Wang Yongde meant, but their composure was no match for Li Xiuyuan's. They were panicking, especially seeing everyone else moving or applying for jobs on the second phase of the project. Everyone else seemed to be working enthusiastically, while they just stood there waiting, feeling quite out of place.

These few holdout households are also in a bad situation in the village.
