“Hongxing, you know that all I’ve ever wanted to do in my life is help the village. I have no other thoughts.”

But now that I see other villages starting up sideline businesses again, I'm wondering if our village could pick up calligraphy brushes again?

After a long while, Tan Dingguo finally gritted his teeth and spoke, but he didn't dare to look at Fu Hongxing's face, feeling extremely embarrassed.

After all, it was he who terminated the contract to make calligraphy brushes for the sake of the village.

Now, picking it up again would be extremely difficult.

Fu Hongxing was taken aback by Tan Dingguo's words.

Seeing Fu Hongxing's stunned silence, Tan Dingguo became somewhat anxious.

"Hongxing, you absolutely have to help our village! You were the one who handled that contract before. I really couldn't find a suitable candidate, so I had no choice but to ask you for a try."

Hearing his words, Fu Hongxing finally came to his senses.

Then he shook his head and calmly replied, "Uncle Tan, look at what you're saying. If it's something I can do, I definitely will."

However, there are some things that I'm afraid I can't help with just because I want to.

The factory you mentioned, several years have passed, and whether it still exists is still a question.

Even if they were still there, they would probably have found a replacement in the past few years.

If we were to interfere, we'd likely suffer more losses than gains.

His words were very straightforward: their village had abandoned them back then, so if those people had found a partner, why would they turn around and cooperate with their village again?

Moreover, even if we take a step back, he wasn't very familiar with Qin Su, and he didn't think Qin Su would give him that kind of face.

Despite his hopeful heart, hearing Fu Hongxing's words only caused Tan Dingguo to slump his shoulders slightly.

He knew in his heart that his rash visit to Fu Hongxing was just a chance to try his luck and see if Fu Hongxing would agree.

At least, it is a glimmer of hope.

“Hongxing, to be honest, other villages are all living better lives now, while our village can barely make ends meet with just our small plot of land. It breaks my heart, and I feel so anxious!”

As Tan Dingguo spoke, he shook his head, tears streaming down his face.

Seeing his appearance, Fu Hongxing's expression froze for a moment, and finally he secretly let out a long breath.

"If Uncle Tan really wants everyone in Xishan Village to live a good life, it's actually not that difficult."

At this point, Fu Hongxing paused for a moment and then said, "Uncle Tan, have you forgotten why our village was praised by the county in the first place?"

Previously, side jobs were not allowed, but now that they are, they can be picked up again. As long as the village picks up all the previous side jobs, you can have Qingshan issue a notice allowing willing people to contract out their side jobs and turn them into private businesses.

"Once it's up and running, I'll help you figure out the sales channels."

When Tan Dingguo heard Fu Hongxing say this, he was first taken aback, and then a sharp light flashed in his originally cloudy eyes.

"You...you mean you want the villagers to contract those farms in their private names?"

Is this...is this feasible?

In particular, Fu Hongxing made a promise that they wouldn't have to worry about sales.

In this way, anyone in the village who is willing to contract a breeding farm only needs to work hard to raise the animals well.

All those side businesses back then were supported by the villagers.

It's impossible that we could raise these animals well before, but now we can't raise them well anymore, right?
