It took about ten minutes to reach the village chief's house. The village chief of Xiaoliang Village was a skinny old man. He glanced at Lu Jinghuai and others with his cloudy eyes.
After hearing the purpose of Lu Jinghuai's visit, he shook the pipe in his hand impatiently and spoke directly.
"People in our village don't have big ambitions. They're all conservative. They don't want to build roads or touch any of the plants or trees in the village."
Lu Jinghuai frowned and advised, "The village chief is building the road for the good of the village, to make the villagers richer."
The village chief waved his hands impatiently: "I don't understand this. In any case, my answer is that our village does not plan to build a road, and our villagers will not cooperate with the construction of the road."
The village chief of Xiaoliang Village was extremely stubborn and even wanted to throw Lu Jinghuai and others out.
Lu Jinghuai's face showed a bit of helplessness, but facing the stubbornness of the village chief of Xiaoliang Village, he had no choice but to leave. The village chief breathed a sigh of relief after watching them leave.
The door behind the village chief was pushed open, and a squinting young man came out of the house. He glanced in the direction where Lu Jinghuai and others left and made a "tsk" sound.
"Those two girls are pretty. If they were sent over, they would definitely bring in a lot of money."
The village chief glanced at him directly, and after a while, he hit him on the head with a cigarette butt.
"Did you hear what they said? If someone sent by the government gets lost here, do you still want to live? How will you explain it if they investigate?"
The young man understood instantly and didn't dare to think about it anymore. He still knew that his life was more important.
However, the people here didn't want to, but the other people in the village might not. Some people saw several people coming out of the village chief's house and planning to leave the village, and their eyes rolled.
Just as Lu Jinghuai, Lin Yan and others were about to leave the village, someone called them.
"Are you just leaving like that?"
He was a middle-aged man with slightly dark skin. When he saw a few people, he turned around and introduced himself with a smile.
"My name is Wang Guodong, and the village chief is my second uncle. Don't you want to help build a road for our village? In fact, I have always wanted to build a road in the village, but you all know my second uncle. He is old, his mind is not clear, and he is hesitant to take action."
Zhang Guodong sighed as he spoke, seeming helpless and troubled.
"How about this, you guys stay at my house for two days first, and I'll help you persuade my second uncle about the road construction."
The man smiled in a flattering manner.
Lu Jinghuai lowered his eyelashes to hide the coldness in his eyes, and he sighed helplessly: "We can't force poverty alleviation and road construction, but it's rare for the government to have such a good policy. It would be a pity to miss it."
