Ning Jing clutched her chest, her heart pounding wildly. She didn't know if it was from the shock of Fu Hongxing's sudden outburst or from the unintentional touch that had caused it to beat so fast.

"No...it's nothing! Cough cough, by the way, what do you think about those villagers who were unwilling to contribute money or labor before, now asking the village chief to get involved in the breeding farm?"

To ease the awkward atmosphere, Ning Jing casually asked.

Fu Hongxing raised an eyebrow when he heard Ning Jing's question.

He was at work the whole time and had no idea about it.

"What did Uncle Tan say?"

Fu Hongxing pondered for a moment, then asked.

"They said they would hold a meeting with the officers at the brigade headquarters to discuss it."

Ning Jing told Fu Hongxing the information she had gathered.

Hearing Ning Jing's words, Fu Hongxing smiled.

"It seems that Uncle Tan has no intention of refusing."

Actually, when Fu Hongxing asked Ning Jing, a thought had already formed in his mind.

Now that I've heard what Ning Jing said, my thoughts have been confirmed.

For Tan Dingguo, his primary concern is the village chief, and his thoughts are on the stability of the village.

From a personal perspective, he certainly wouldn't want those people to reap the benefits.

However, if they disagree, these people will become a source of instability in the village.

If the matter escalates to the county seat, the one who will ultimately suffer the consequences is still him, the village chief.

Therefore, sacrificing some interests in exchange for greater ones is a choice that Tan Dingguo would definitely make.

And his talk of holding meetings and discussing things was just an excuse!

His ultimate goal was simply to get the other villagers to compromise.

Upon hearing Fu Hongxing's words, Ning Jing puffed out her cheeks in anger.

"Isn't there any other good way? It's really unfair to let the farms make money while they just come and take advantage of us for nothing."

Fu Hongxing rarely saw her looking so adorable, and couldn't help but chuckle.

He resisted the urge to pinch Ning Jing's chubby cheeks and said, "Actually, there are other ways."

Since they want to get involved in the breeding farm, it doesn't necessarily have to be yours now.

I remember that the village used to raise pigs, sheep, and cattle.

"Any one of these three things, chosen to set up a breeding farm, would be a very good thing."

"Raising pigs?"

Ning Jing's eyes widened, and she blurted out.

She then fell into deep thought.

She raises chickens and ducks because she has a good way of cultivating earthworms, but raising pigs, if she could actually raise them successfully, would be a really good thing. However, the two pigs that the village used to raise for quota purposes seem to never reach the weight required by the supply and marketing cooperative each year. In addition, nowadays people are eating bran, so where would they find pig feed? Therefore, the villagers lose money every year when raising quota pigs.

"I'll talk to Uncle Tan about this. Stop frowning, you look like an old lady!"

Seeing Ning Jing deep in thought, Fu Hongxing finally couldn't resist and reached out to pinch Ning Jing's cheek.

The smooth, delicate feel of the skin sent a tingling sensation through Fu Hongxing's fingertips.

"Ouch, stop pinching me! Okay, okay, I know!"

Ning Jing brushed away Fu Hongxing's fingers that were pinching her cheeks, and muttered in dissatisfaction, her face turning red from the pinch.

"Alright, alright, get some rest!"

The next morning, Fu Hongxing got up an hour earlier than usual.

He went directly to the village chief's house to find Tan Dingguo and told him about the idea he had given Ning Jing the day before.
