Chapter 339 Voting Ends
However, the crowd, engrossed in their lively conversation, failed to notice the grim expressions on the faces of An Songshu and his wife.
By the time An Songyu and the others had finalized their plans and confirmed the time to go to Licun...
Then they saw that An Songshu and the other person had already left.
An Songrui, who was about to ask for their opinions, was somewhat speechless:
"So, what exactly are Fourth Brother and Fourth Sister-in-law doing here?"
"Did you come all this way just to say hello?"
“That’s not impossible!” An Songyu followed his cousin’s gaze.
Then they saw An Songshu and his wife returning to the Jiang family's table, seemingly talking to the Jiang family about something.
"Is it really just a casual greeting?" An Songxiang rested her head on her sister's shoulder, looking in that direction as well, and murmured softly.
An Songyu gently nudged her younger sister with her elbow.
Whether or not this is the reason for my return is no longer important.
Anyway... they didn't mention anything after they came back, and no one heard anything from them.
An Songxiang rolled her eyes at her sister helplessly.
Could she be such an immature person?
Even if she had other ideas, why would she bring them up and upset her aunt and uncle if An Songshu and the others didn't reveal them themselves?
Before we knew it, quite a bit of time had passed.
The village committee members simply asked everyone to quiet down: "I'm sure everyone has thought this through carefully, right?"
"Then let's begin the voting!"
As they spoke, the village committee members looked at everyone.
But the people of Jiangcun below remained silent for quite some time.
The members of the An family exchanged glances and then stood up.
Everyone else in the family brought their own ping-pong balls to the table.
Only An Shun and the other two were too lazy to get up again.
He simply handed the ping-pong ball to his grandson next to him.
Anyway, the whole family had already reached a consensus.
They went up one by one, which was no different from having someone else represent them.
The people at the other tables watched with some tension as the An family walked to the long table in front.
Especially upon seeing the direction they were heading, many people couldn't help but sigh.
The members of the An family, who had already started putting the ping-pong balls in their hands into the suggestion box, were completely unaffected.
They took turns going forward.
Drop the ping-pong balls one by one from the small opening at the top of the suggestion box.
It seemed that everyone in the An family was about to finish voting.
Some people breathed a sigh of relief, while others frowned.
It's worth noting that the entire Jiangcun village only has about twenty households.
Excluding those who split off from the An family, this An family now represents almost one-fifth of the An family.
Although the Jiang surname has a larger population compared to the An surname.
However, compared to the An family, the Jiang family members who truly support Jiang Wenlin are the majority.
Therefore, the vote of An Songyu's family became especially important.
In particular, An Songyu and the others may not even know it themselves.
Since the demolition of Jiangcun and the relocation of its residents to the city.
The people of Jiangcun have a higher level of recognition for the abilities of the An family.
In other words, with their leadership, there will definitely be people who were not very sure before who will make up their minds.
Some people who had already been persuaded might even change their minds.
Their idea was indeed correct.
After all the An family members came down, no one went up for a short while.
Just as the village committee was about to say something, a few more people stood up.
Like Sister Yun's family, many of them simply handled things according to their own ideas because of differing opinions.
Then, those who stood up first mostly agreed, like An Jia, that they should use the income from the village collective enterprise to buy land.
As for their thoughts...
Some people, like An Songyu's family, never even considered getting anything from the village's collective enterprise.
After all, with fruit planting in Jiangcun becoming unprofitable, the village's collective enterprise was basically just for show.
Nowadays, although it's clear that freight companies' revenue has increased significantly.
But think about the expenses for villagers to move to the city.
It seems there's no need to think too much about it anymore.
Some people simply don't want to think about it too much.
They are adaptable to their circumstances.
They felt that the money they received during the demolition of Jiangcun was more than they could ever spend in their lifetime.
In the past, when they lived in Xinlin Village, there were always people in Xinlin Village watching their pockets.
After moving to Happiness Garden with the other villagers.
They then realized that everyone had started to go about their own business.
Aside from being a little bored, they generally lived a peaceful life.
So they simply gave up on all ambition.
If you're really bored, just like everyone else in the village, go to a real estate agency to find a suitable house.
Watch it be demolished, watch it be rebuilt.
After it's built, they can just sit back and collect rent.
If you find it too troublesome, go home and lie in bed for a few more days.
Whether you buy, build, or rent, you can always find a homeowner.
I believe they will do their business with more dedication than they do.
But this experience taught them something.
Follow smart people, and they won't just be eyeing your wallet; you can also easily get a share of the profits.
They can even help with chores.
So they simply didn't think about anything else and followed in the footsteps of the An family, casting their precious vote.
But it was precisely because of their overly simplistic thinking that some people in Jiangcun looked even more displeased.
They did try to persuade them earlier.
At that time, they seemed quite easy to persuade.
Looking back now, it wasn't easy to persuade them!
They just never gave them a clear answer.
The voting process ended quickly.
Without even needing to do the statistics, in two completely identical suggestion boxes, the number of people who agreed to use the profits of village enterprises to buy land was significantly higher than in the other suggestion box.
Even so, the village committee still carefully counted the votes.
As a result, the opinion of village enterprises naturally gained the upper hand.
Therefore, the village committee member earnestly addressed the crowd:
"So, according to the villagers' collective opinion, the profits of the village enterprise will first be used to cover the cost of returning this land."
"At the same time, we need to have a short meeting later regarding the use of this land."
"Each company can discuss it internally first."
"The village representatives will have a meeting later."
"Regarding how to use this land, our village committee will rely entirely on everyone's opinions."
An Jianxing wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and quickly returned to the table at the village committee.
He couldn't help but look at Jiang Wenlin with a mournful expression.
Today, could it be that he was afraid the villagers would have too many opinions and cause trouble, so he threw him out?
Otherwise, normally, it would be him who would announce such important events!
Unfortunately, Jiang Wenlin pretended not to see An Jianxing's gaze.
After all, it's uncertain whether Jiangcun will even exist once their village moves into a new resettlement community.
Managing the collective property of Jiangcun will then be different from before.
Why not take this opportunity to let him make more appearances?
What if things change in the future?
