When one's own people are wronged, one should pretend to be magnanimous?
This isn't good manners, it's just plain stupid!
Ruan Qian glanced at Madam Xu, a faint smile playing on his lips.
Without going into too much detail, Ruan Qian took over the conversation.
He said all this so that the villagers would understand, through the village chief's words, that the little sister's sacrifices were not as easy as they imagined.
If the villagers don't know how to be grateful, it would be easy for the He family to shut down their seafood business.
The village chief's expression did show some reluctance. This person was concerned about the village, and after several hours of travel, without even having a hot meal, he came back to hear this.
Besides, he and his daughter-in-law had repeatedly emphasized this!
The village chief's face darkened; it was time to teach them a lesson!
“Village chief, my sister and I both have a feeling that the He family’s seafood business will be a blow to other restaurants and eateries.”
"Even if the seafood hotpot business stops, there are other seafood businesses. For the time being, they won't dare to openly target the He family, but it would be very easy for them to make things difficult for us."
"The farce at He Family Restaurant was all a frame-up; someone falsely accused the seafood of being defective..."
"If we are not united, it is very easy for us to tamper with seafood or in the transportation process."
"This isn't us making a mountain out of a molehill, but rather we're discussing it with you. If we don't nip it in the bud, and someone frames us, the money we've been working on for half a month won't even be enough to cover the damages!"
The village chief's face grew increasingly grim, and the Feng Yun and Feng Xi families also showed signs of anxiety.
"There is another reason why we are pushing forward with the construction progress."
“A few nights ago, a dark creature approached our house late at night. We were just woken up by a shrimp and didn’t catch it, but we were still a little scared.”
"If the other side targets our seafood and medicinal herbs, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"So, that's why you wanted more land last time, so that the Song and Fan families could build their houses next to it?"
Ruan Qian nodded, "My sister has many plans for the future. Living close by will make it easier to communicate and take care of each other."
The village chief nodded. "I understand! The land already agreed to your request last time. When do you plan to start construction?"
Ruan Qian answered truthfully, "My younger sister went to the city today and got an advance from the He Family Restaurant. We plan to start construction tomorrow."
"I consulted Brother Feng and Brother Feng before, and they said that if we built it for one family alone, it would only take three days. Now that all three families are working together, we plan to stay up all night and finish it within two days."
The village chief understood that if the house wasn't salvaged soon, the Ruan family wouldn't be able to sleep soundly.
So he got up and said, "You two go and inform the Song and Fan families first, and make your plans."
"These next two days, eldest and second eldest, you two should put aside what you're doing and focus all your efforts on helping the Ruan family. First, get the house built."
"I'll go to each household tonight to inform them that they need to send people to help tomorrow, and I'll also repeat the requirements to them again."
"From today onwards, we will only accept beachcombing materials collected by villagers from this village. The eldest and second eldest sons' wives go beachcombing every day. If anyone is not from this village, we will not accept their beachcombing materials."
"You guys need to be a little more careful to prevent anyone from tampering with the seafood."
Sister-in-law Feng asked, "Father, if they make a scene, what's a suitable reason for us to refuse?"
"Take He Family Restaurant for example. They don't serve seafood in a laozi sauce anymore, so their demand for seafood has decreased. Don't worry, I'll make it clear to everyone when I visit them tonight."
"If they dare to cause trouble in front of you, just say that the He Family Restaurant charges a fixed amount every day. They're worried about not being able to collect from their own village, so why would they care about outsiders?"
"If there were such a fool, the village wouldn't tolerate him, even without us saying so!"
"Eldest brother and second brother, you have experience in building houses. When you take Brother Ruan downstairs later, go with them and check on the materials and procedures needed, so that they have a clear understanding."
"If we need to buy the necessary materials, let's discuss it and arrange it tonight so we can start construction early tomorrow morning and save time."
"Eldest son and second son's wives, I'll have your mother-in-law look after the children these next few days. There are many people to feed during the house construction, so please help out the Ruan family..."
Hearing that the village chief was so helpful, mobilizing the whole family and the whole village to assist, the sister-in-law's anger seemed to dissipate a little.
