Chapter 355 Even bad bamboo can produce good shoots, and diseased shellfish can't produce pearls.
Although Jiang Wenlin spoke calmly in front of An Jianguo, he emphasized the matter when he convened a meeting of the village committee members.
However, his emphasis differed from that of An Jianguo.
"The help that the An brothers have given to Jiang Village is well known even to outsiders like Lin Village."
“And we’ve actually gotten so used to it that we’ve taken it for granted,” Jiang Wenlin said with a particularly meaningful tone.
The other members of the village committee were also deep in thought.
After a long while, someone sighed and said:
"Perhaps it's because after leaving Jiangcun, we lost that sense of 'being in our element' with the outside world, and that's why we always habitually rely on them!"
"Over time, it becomes a habit. That's why you have to rely on others to point out things that you should have known long ago."
"But this is for the best, at least we know now."
"Then everyone in the village needs to know!" An Jianxing looked at the group solemnly.
"We don't expect everyone to be as genuinely grateful to them."
"But at least they need to understand that this is Anjia's contribution to everyone."
“I’m not worried about that. Most people in Jiangcun are grateful to and trust the An family.” The women’s director couldn’t help but smile.
The younger generation in the village, in particular, both admired and envied An Jia.
You see, most of the young people in Jiangcun nowadays are looking to settle down as the standard.
Despite the fact that many of their family's actions were considered quite outrageous by the older generation in Jiangcun, especially those who controlled a large family's demolition compensation.
They did indeed harbor a lot of selfish motives.
However, the influence of the An family cannot be denied.
"It's a pity that the An family has no interest in developing the village committee!" Jiang Wenlin couldn't help but sigh again.
The village committee members all smiled in unison.
They didn't care at all about the disdain in Jiang Wenlin's words.
Anyway, not to mention Jiang Wenlin, even they themselves felt that the An family could definitely replace them.
If they were willing, they would have readily stepped down without An Wenlin even having to mention it.
But their lack of interest in the village committee isn't just a recent phenomenon!
Back then, when An Jianping had gradually established himself in the city and was doing a lot of good for the village.
The village committee did propose that one of An Jianguo's brothers be selected to join the village committee.
However, aside from their initial active participation in militia training,
None of the brothers were interested in any position in the village.
Originally, everyone thought they might be worried about what the villagers would say.
It wasn't until much time had passed that everyone realized!
They simply didn't want to bother with it.
Moreover, joining the village committee does not guarantee that they can live a good life.
But even without joining the village committee, they all managed to live quite well.
Moreover, given Anjia's current development and improvement, the possibility is even less likely.
When the topic came up, the village committee members had something to say: "It's a pity not only for their generation, but also for their next generation."
But as soon as he finished speaking, the women's director looked at everyone with a rather strange expression.
The security chief who had spoken earlier asked with some confusion, "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"
"You've forgotten to count one person in your next generation, haven't you?" the women's director said, her words carrying a hint of unease.
The head of security thought for a moment and then realized what was going on.
He couldn't help but shake his head: "Everyone says that even bad bamboo can produce good shoots, and only diseased shellfish can't produce pearls."
"But this family... not a single word matches!"
The other members of the village committee nodded in agreement, sharing the same sentiment.
Indeed, Jianping and his wife have always been capable, and their three children are all outstanding.
Ah Yu goes without saying; she's practically the successor to that whole family now.
When her uncles were in Shuncheng, she simply followed behind them and did their work, so she wasn't particularly noticeable.
Over the past six months, my uncles and elders have been learning to build high-rise buildings in Fengyin Bay from scratch.
She managed to keep the An family business afloat all by herself.
Although everyone knows that this definitely required the help of her parents, siblings, aunts and uncles.
For a girl who has just entered society to do this is quite remarkable.
The youngest daughter is even more unique. After the demolition, while other villagers only knew how to spend their money, she turned that spending into a business.
He always associates with wealthy people.
As he continued doing this, he even started introducing a lot of business opportunities to his family.
They had carefully nurtured their eldest son, thinking he would be overshadowed by his two younger sisters.
But he was just calm and low-key.
This isn't because he started a car repair business following in the footsteps of that kid from the Dong family.
In just a few months, they were already able to open a second branch.
If we say that the first store had the support of the people of Jiangcun, then that's a good thing.
The opening of that second store had absolutely nothing to do with the people of Jiangcun.
The excellence of all three siblings was, frankly, a huge blow to the people of Jiangcun.
Even if they try to comfort themselves, they know they are settling down and are not an exception.
An Jian'an and his wife, who were originally not very noticeable in the village, now have two daughters who have been admitted to university.
And for the past year or so, apart from my youngest daughter being busy with her studies as a college entrance exam candidate,
The eldest daughter doesn't come back to help the family manage the business every time she has a holiday.
I learned a lot from my two cousins.
I heard that, especially under An Songxiang's leadership, they've even managed to recruit some of their classmates and teachers as customers.
An Jianmin's two children were even younger.
But she was admitted to a teachers' college in Nanshi.
During holidays, she also becomes her mother's little helper.
Now, I heard that they've opened a new branch, and if she's home, she can go there on her own to lead the new staff.
Although her future aspirations are not to follow in the footsteps of her family.
But with this ability and mindset, he should be fine anywhere.
As for the remaining younger ones, they are studying hard in high school.
Compared to everyone else in the village, even An Jianguo's child, everyone couldn't help but sigh.
However, An Jianguo and his wife were not incapable of teaching children.
The couple has absolutely no problems in their conduct and dealings with others!
But they don't know if the pearls have been properly cultured or not.
They did manage to raise fish eyes successfully.
Anyway, An Songshu's eyes were always fixed on the well-developed An family, and he just followed his wife to the Jiang family to pick up the leftovers.
That's something only someone with dead fish eyes could do.
Despite their disapproval, the matter was genuinely a headache for them.
"I remember, last time it seems like Uncle and his wife's votes were cast by their grandson?" Jiang Wenlin asked, looking at the others.
He's not young anymore, so he hasn't paid attention to some things more carefully.
The others all nodded.
The women's director added with a sense of helplessness, "Because of this, Ashu has been saying in the village that the two old people are biased."
“They always say that before the vote, it was clearly the couple sitting next to the two elderly people.”
"But the two elderly people never mentioned asking them to help vote."
