After the silt in the river was cleared, they began to use excavators to deepen and widen the river. Not only was the Yang family's house demolished, but the wall of the warehouse behind the store on the west side of the river was also demolished. After the Yang family's house was demolished, the excavator drove to the north.

However, many villagers ran out of Houwang Village, saying that the excavator had crushed their crops.

Xie Lin's negotiations were fruitless, so he found Ling Ran.

Ling Ran walked up to the leader with a frosty expression, "You'd better have a reasonable reason, otherwise, you've delayed my project and must compensate me."

The villager didn't expect to be blackmailed. He waved his hand and called out to the villagers who had come with him, "Everyone, come on, smash this excavator for me. I want to see who will ask for compensation."

Ling Ran sneered, stood still, and waited for the villagers to take action.

However, apart from the leader who was making a lot of noise, no one came forward or responded.

The little devil, no, the big devil's notoriety in the town is 'long-lasting'.

Ling Ran raised his hand and pointed at the villager at the back. "You, go call your village cadres, any one will do. If you dare to hinder the progress of my project and don't give an explanation, we will meet in the town."

The person who was named ran quickly to the village. He was a little scared. He shouldn't have followed his elder brother and made trouble. The village had already issued a notice saying that the five meters along the river had been sold.

But the eldest brother couldn't bear to leave the crops on the ground. The wheat was more than a foot tall and was about to ear. The eldest brother felt distressed because that was the result of his hard work and sweat!

Seeing that everyone who had agreed to a good deal before was now backing down at the last minute, the leader turned around angrily and scolded the villagers behind him.

The villagers only knew that it was bought by the Zhou family and wanted to get some compensation for the land, but who knew that the devil Ling Ran was in charge of this project!

When the head of Houwang Village heard that some villagers were obstructing the river project, he immediately ran to the east side of the river and asked, "Wang Zheng, how dare you cause trouble?"

When the leader Wang Zheng heard the village chief's words, he felt like a balloon had been popped. He lowered his head and took a few steps back.

"Village chief, I thought I could hold out for more than a month and harvest the wheat. I worked so hard to grow it, and it was just about to be harvested, but it was crushed like this. I'm so heartbroken!"

Ling Ran's anger faded after hearing this. He waved his hand and said, "Alright, go back and negotiate. I said five meters, and that's it. If you bet more, you can come back and ask me for compensation. Village chief, you should give him a little more money for this item. It's not easy for him."

The village chief was relieved to see that Ling Ran didn't care. However, the town mayor had a lot of opinions about Houwang Village. He said that Houwang Village did not support the town's construction, and in the future, the village should not try to get any good benefits from the town.

This is what the mayor said before he left. He felt a little regretful. Although the Zhou family bought the land privately, it seemed to have driven the construction of the town. If he had given more, he would have a good reputation in the town. Unfortunately, he did not change his mind at that time.

Now, seeing the recent bustling scene in the river, he regretted it even more.

"Okay, okay! I'll compensate these families for the things they have on the ground."

After saying that, he called all the villagers away.

The excavator continued to work, and Xie Lin sighed that he was not as good as these young people, especially Ling Ran, who just stood there and calmed the whole place.

Before leaving, Ling Ran told Xie Lin, who was still in a daze, "Uncle, watch this piece. Don't sell it. Otherwise, they will ask for compensation. Not only will we have to pay, but we will also have to put on a smile."

"Okay! I'll watch."

When Zhou wanted to know about this, Ling Ran had already finished dealing with it and walked into the Zhou family yard.

Zhou Xiang looked at the big man who walked in and said with a smile, "Boss Ling is amazing! He handled it so quickly."

Ling Ran approached her and said, "If such a small matter takes you so long to deal with, you must be disgusted with me."

He took her hand, but frowned, "What are you doing? Your hands are so cold."

"I just washed the ground vegetables. My dad bought them."

Ling Ran held both of her hands and used his warmth to warm them. "Next time, let me do this kind of work, and you should be less cold."

Feeling the warmth on his hands, Zhou Xiang smiled, "Well! I'll ask you to wash it next time, mainly because you washed it too many times."

Ling Ran led her into the dining room and said, "You sit here and play. I'll go help in the kitchen."

Zhou Xiang sat down obediently. When he saw him enter the kitchen, he took out his cell phone and chatted with his elder brother via text messages.

Zhou Niao was very happy when he received a text message from his sister. He put down the work in his hands and chatted with his sister seriously.

Zhou Xiang asked about his elder brother's recent life, and Zhou Niao's answers were all very good.

After the chat, Zhou Xiang called Brother Chao again and asked again, and it was indeed as Brother Chao said: very good.

Every other day, he would go out to play and collect folk songs with two bodyguards and an agent. When he came back, he would paint if he felt inspired, and go to Mianhua Hutong to eat and drink if he didn't.

Jiang Weihua welcomes everyone very much, it will be more lively with more people.

Zhou Xiang felt relieved. He had been busy for several days since he came back and had not had time to call Beijing.

During lunch, Zhou's father suggested going back to visit the graves. Zhou didn't want to go back, but Ling Ran persuaded her, "Go! I'll go with you. I'll go see if there's anything else that needs improvement in Zhoujia Village. Aren't you going to be in charge of it from now on?"

Zhou Xiang poked his forehead with his finger, "Humph! In what capacity are you going there?"

Ling Ran grabbed her hand and said, "I'll go as your fiancé."

Zhou didn't want to talk to him anymore, they were still at the dinner table! Who knew what he would say?

"Go if you want!"

Zhou's mother was unwilling to go, and she had no good feelings towards Zhoujia Village.

Zhou Yu has classes to attend and can't go. His wife won't go, and Zhu Hang definitely won't go either. So Zhou Xianglingran will accompany his father back.

The next day's breakfast was early, so Ling Ran naturally came to eat for free.

Ling Ran wanted to drive there, but Zhou didn't approve. "It's not appropriate. You still have to buy those things. You haven't cleared your name yet, so it's not appropriate to drive your car there."

Ling Ran gave up the idea of ​​driving and followed him to the street. Today was a market day and the stalls were set up very early. He bought the things needed for tomb sweeping. As soon as he arrived at the Nantou Provincial Road, Xiao Feihu came over and asked if he wanted to charter a car.

There is no sports car driver in the town who doesn't know the Zhou family who love to charter cars. Now that Xiao Feihu's business has been taken away by small passenger cars, he can only take on this kind of chartered car business.

After agreeing on the price, the three of them got into the back of the Little Flying Tiger.

When they arrived at Zhoujia Village, Ling Ran asked Xiao Feihu to wait for them to go back together.

The driver is very willing to do so, as he would be making an empty trip on the way back, and would be waiting on the provincial road all day, so it is not certain whether he would get any business!

After getting out of the car, Zhou Xiang pointed at the new buildings and told Ling Ran, "I don't dare to do anything else with the new rural vision. I'm afraid it won't pass the test and will be demolished. Houses are not like other things. It costs too much money to demolish and rebuild them."

At this time, someone came out from the first house on the roadside, "Uncle Ten and my cousin are back!"

After a loud shout, many people came out from the two rows of buildings and warmly invited the father and daughter to go home and sit down.

Father Zhou waved his hand and said, "No, I'm going to the old house to see Second Uncle and his family, then go to the graves, and then I'll go back."

Everyone said that they would go home and visit next time they came back, and Zhou's father agreed.

Only then did someone ask Ling Ran.

Father Zhou smiled and said, "I'm thinking about finding a partner and came back to see the rural scenery."

Immediately, Ling Ran was looked at with scrutiny, some people nodded, some shook their heads.
