If the barber shop owner hadn't come, Zhou Xiang really wouldn't have known that the town had switched to larger buses. However, this was none of her business, and she wouldn't compete with them for this piece of cake.

Zhou's mother planned to go to the Xiao family in Huai County for a big gift, but Zhou Xiang suppressed her, saying, "Wait until I get my new car back. I don't mind these two days."

"You kid, I've already made an agreement with the Xiao family."

"Then go ahead! Take Lu Zhaochong with you, and pick out a few other handsome guys."

"Why? Your third brother, the main character, isn't at home, so why would I bring so many supporting characters?"

"Aren't you worried that there are too many girls over there? Let's arrange blind dates for them."

Lu Zhaochong immediately stepped back and said, "I'm not going. I'll take their place."

"Okay! Go take over the shift in the front yard and help select six handsome guys."

"Okay, okay, I'll go right away."

Lu Zhaochong quickly left the Zhou family's house. He was really afraid that his sister-in-law would send him to meet someone else, as he already had a partner.

The six young men selected by Lu Zhaochong arrived at the parking lot in front of Zhou's house and waited in an orderly manner.

Mother Zhou looked at the six people who were all in high spirits and said with a smile, "We'll be very cool if we take them out like this, right? It's called cool, right?"

Before Zhou Xiang could answer, Zhou Kai jumped out and said, "Cousin, not only did you not give me a red envelope, you also didn't choose me to help you."

"Get out of the way! Gao Fei was assigned a job, and you were just following along. Why do you think you deserve a red envelope?

These people are going to the girl's house with your second mother to propose marriage and see if there are any suitable girls. What are you going for? Are you thinking of getting married?"

When Zhou Kai heard this, he immediately ran back to the dining room and said, "My wife is a terrible creature. I don't want her."

Zhou Xiang rolled his eyes. "Hmph! Not now, but when I meet someone I feel attracted to, I'll chase after her."

Two cars drove out of Zhou's parking lot. Zhou wanted to go back upstairs to take care of the children. Her mother was not at home today, so she had to be more careful.

After Ling Ran returned from Xiao Xiezhuang, he complained to his wife, "This Xiao Xiezhuang is so short-sighted. Xie Zhuang said he wanted the villagers to join in, but those village cadres insisted on contracting it to you."

"What's the result?"

"The results have all gone to my cousin's house. I'll come back first. My cousin will come to inform me when the results are out."

"Don't worry about them. It's more appropriate to contract it to me, so that they won't disobey orders and do things blindly."

Not long after, Xie Lin came to Zhou's house alone. "Think about it, what do you think?"

"Of course I'll take it over. This is my territory and I have the final say!"

"Then I'll leave it to you!"

"Why? You didn't make sense?"

Xie Lin nodded, "Yes, that doesn't make sense. They insist that it's safer to take a large sum of money at once."

"Well! Then tell them not to regret it later and write for 50 years straight."

"Haha, they're so generous! If they let you take over the contract, you have to do it for 70 years. If they weren't so sure you couldn't live past 100, they'd probably ask you to do it for 100 years."

Zhou Xiang laughed, "Oh, little Xie Zhuang, that's all. Will Xie Zhuang continue to be a puppet?"

"He just said that since he can't make the decision, he'll step down as village chief. No one cares about his threats. I guess his career will end once you take over the hill."

"Then ask him to come and work with me."

"What can he do?"

"Manage the hill! I want to plant fruit trees, so I'll ask him to hire people to tidy up the hill and plant trees. By the way, I can let him vent his grievances. Wouldn't that mean removing him from his position as village chief? Then don't hire people from Xiaoxie Village. Xiaoxie Village won't obey management anyway. Hire people from other villages and piss them off to death. Haha, I'm sure Xie Zhuang will be happy."

Xie Lin also smiled: "That's fine, that's fine. I don't want to bother with them anymore. I'll tell Xie Zhuang secretly later."

"Well! Reassure him first. Are they still at your house?"

"Here I am! Waiting for your reply!"

"Tell them to go back and talk to the villagers and go again tomorrow."

After Xie Lin left, Ling Ran said, "How about I go to Dawangzhuang this afternoon and take care of it together, so that Xiaoxiezhuang won't think that their hill is the only one they can take."

"Okay, Dawangzhuang is quite reasonable. Why don't we ask them if they want to cooperate?"

Ling Ran nodded, "I think it's difficult. The 70-year contract fee is safe for everyone to take. If you don't know how to farm, there's no guarantee of a loss."

"Whatever. First courtesy, then force. As long as they don't regret it, I'm also planning to let Xie Zhuang manage that place. Let's buy him a motorcycle! The difference is too big, it'll make him run around."

"Sure, give him money and tell him to buy it himself."

At this time, Xie Zhuang, who was oppressed by the crowd and felt wronged, did not know that his old classmates had arranged a brilliant future for him.

"Alright, alright! You have the final say, and you even voted by raising your hands. Do I have as many hands as you do? Master? Bullshit Master, don't regret it, and don't ask me to go to Zhou Xiang with a smug face again."

Xie Zhuang was so angry that he wanted to run out of Xie Lin's house, but Xie Lin stopped him, "Xie Zhuang, I have some work here and I need your help. Let them go back first and hold a meeting with the villagers."

Xie Zhuang's face turned even uglier. He hadn't even stepped down yet, so he lost his qualifications to attend the meeting?

The village cadres left with smiles on their faces. Even Xie Lin supported them. It was useless for Xie Zhuang to jump. If he had not been a classmate of Zhou Xiang, how could a young man like him be elected as the village chief?

Xie Lin dragged Xie Zhuang into the east room and told him what Zhou Xiang had said, "Your old classmates won't watch you suffer injustice. If you want to step down, then step down. Do you think being a puppet is comfortable?"

Xie Zhuang's face turned from gloomy to bright. "Hahaha, great! I'll go work for my old classmates. I'll go back now. Anyone who protested at the meeting will be hired to work in the future."

"Okay! Go back! You can't beat the powerful. You have no connections, no courage, and no high education. Once you start working for Zhou Xiang, you'll have connections."
