Yu Shan was worn down and had no choice but to promise to give them an answer in three days, which finally managed to trick them into leaving.

As soon as the person left, Yu Shan immediately convened a village meeting.

He stood on the stage, looking down at the villagers below, heads bowed, eyes darting away, silent, and he was so angry his liver ached.

“I can understand why you’re thinking about your own families.”

Yu Shan raised his voice, sounding somewhat annoyed, "But our village's biogas digester hasn't even been built yet, and you all can't control your mouths, talking nonsense everywhere."

"Now things are much better; other villages are coming to us."

"So, will our village still be built?"

The subordinates whispered, "Why don't we just build it for us first, and then build it for them?"

Anyway, once the repairs are done, the thank-you banquet will be over. What's wrong with helping your own family?

With such a large output, if it were promoted, wouldn't everyone be able to have enough to eat?

Although Yu Shan didn't hear their whispers, after being the brigade leader for so many years, how could he not know what kind of people they were?

They have long hair but short brains, they just dream unrealistic dreams, and they think things are quite simple.

But those old folks are all shrewd; they know that biogas digesters can increase grain production so much, so how could they willingly waste a year of their time?

Everyone is hoping that Xie Yan will build biogas digesters for them this year.

We want their village to give up some time.

Although they offer compensation, how can such compensation be equivalent to increasing grain production?

The thought of having to argue with other villages because of these idiots made Yu Shan angry.

These brainless idiots never consider the consequences of their actions; they're really driving him crazy!

Seeing this group of idiots whispering among themselves, completely unaware of their mistakes, Yu Shan was so angry that his liver hurt. He had originally wanted to explain the pros and cons, but now he didn't want to say anything and just cursed, "Since you care so much about your maternal relatives, then you families can forget about building biogas digesters in the future. You can use that time to build one in your maternal relatives' village."

"Next autumn harvest, your families will also receive a share of the grain according to this year's yield!"

Upon hearing this, the villagers who had been pretending to be dead could no longer sit still. They began to shift blame onto each other, arguing back and forth.

Looking at the chaotic scene, Yu Shan felt both annoyed and amused.

He turned around and left angrily. As for correcting their thinking, he left it to the village secretary, fearing that if he stayed any longer, he would be driven crazy by these people.

Most importantly, he also needs to be prepared to confront that group of people.

His time is precious; he doesn't have time to watch them shirk responsibility.

Actually, it wasn't that Yu Shan didn't want to help other villages install biogas digesters.

However, their village is just starting out and has very limited manpower.

Take Xie Yan for example. He's been working tirelessly day and night on the construction of the biogas digester, but even so, it will take about two more months to finish the work in the village. By the time the village is finished, it will be almost September, when the weather will start to cool down. The number of biogas digesters that can be built will be limited, and the cement will be difficult to harden once it gets cold.

The most important thing about biogas digesters is that they can't leak gas; they can't be used at all if the weather isn't right.

He originally planned to finish building his own village and then connect with other villages, but who knew that everything would be so good, and these idiots would wreck it all.

Xie Yan stood beside the biogas digester. After listening to Yu Shan's explanation, he frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and asked with a puzzled look, "Father, what do you mean?"

Yu Shan glanced at Xie Yan and slowly said, "I was thinking, why don't you go over and build one or two for them first?"

"As for which village to repair first, let them discuss and decide for themselves."

"Don't worry, I will definitely get you a very favorable deal."

When Yu Shan came to find Xie Yan, he had already thought it through. He was willing to let Xie Yan build for them, but on the condition that the village be built and that there be a very reasonable price.

As for other things, forget about it. Anyway, it's their village's technology, so they have the power to decide. Although it might be a bit difficult during negotiations, we can't compromise on matters of principle.

Xie Yan had no idea about the intricacies between the team leaders and assumed that this was something they had planned together. Without much thought, he nodded and said seriously, "I have no problem with it, but Dad, you have to make it clear to them that the bricklayers from our village are also going along."

"I am mainly responsible for technical guidance; I can't handle the actual work."

Yu Shan nodded quickly, patting his chest to assure him, "Don't worry, they will definitely go with you then."

Soon, Yu Shan and the group of village chiefs discussed (after a fight) and came to a conclusion: only four biogas digesters could be built in September, with priority given to the four nearby villages, and the rest to be built in the spring of next year, starting with the two furthest villages.

Moreover, whichever village Xie Yan went to build, that village would pay him ten yuan a month, and the bricklayers who went with him would also receive two yuan a month.

Xie Yan was very satisfied with the ten yuan income he received each month, plus meals.

The other bricklayers were also overjoyed when they heard the news. Not only would they have two yuan in income this year, but they would also have more next spring. They were very satisfied with the arrangement.

Of course, Xie Yan would also receive the same price for building biogas digesters in the village, which was undoubtedly a pleasant surprise for him.

He never thought he would get paid; he thought he would just get full work points at most.

And so, Xie Yan, along with several bricklayers, began his busy "working" routine of leaving early and returning late.

Even the daily greetings and thank-you banquets can only be seen at the site where biogas digesters are being built.

It's because Xie Yan comes home too late every day, and Chaochao falls asleep while waiting for him.

I can't even see him in the morning.

Xie Yan went out before dawn.

Although Xie Yan usually gave the impression of being somewhat lazy and good-for-nothing, he was a completely different person when it came to building the biogas digester. He worked overtime every day without uttering a single complaint.

During this period, Yu Yuehui took different ways to nourish Xie Yan's body every day, and the villagers' views on Xie Yan changed drastically. They had always thought that Xie Yan was just a gigolo who lived off Yu Yuehui, but this time they witnessed Xie Yan's great vision.

If Xie Yan's only responsibility was to build biogas digesters for his own village, he wouldn't have needed to work so hard. However, his heart was concerned with more than just ensuring the well-being of his village.

He knew that biogas digesters were a crucial solution for the food and clothing needs of the nearby villages.

When Xie Yan thought of the other villagers who were also hoping to increase their grain production through biogas digesters and live a life where they could have enough to eat as soon as possible, he gritted his teeth and took on this heavy responsibility.
