"Looking for me? Little sister, I heard so many people came to the village, everyone was worried about you!"
Accompanied by his two sons, the village chief arrived at the front of the Ruan family's courtyard.
"Grandpa Village Chief..."
Ruan Meng told the village chief about her previous negotiations with Sun Chengen and the promise Sun Chengen had just made.
The village chief and his two sons were overjoyed.
"This is great news! Since most of the villagers live here, I'll take this opportunity to tell everyone..."
"Eldest brother, second brother, you two split up and go to the homes of those who aren't here. Tell them about the Ruan family's expansion. If they have no objections, the Ruan family can start construction sooner!"
"Everyone, please arrange your tasks. The Ruan family is expanding later, so..."
Before the village chief could finish speaking, Sun Chengen interjected, "Thank you, village chief. We have enough manpower, so we won't trouble you any further!"
The village chief nodded and immediately informed the villagers that the Sun family would be supporting Fengjia Village in planting and raising livestock, and that the Ruan family would need to expand their house.
The villagers looked at each other in disbelief; they had never dared to dream of such a good thing before.
Everyone was short of money and had no spare cash to buy chicks or seeds. Even when the men returned from the ship or the mine with the money they earned, they used it to pay for their family's medical treatment or to buy necessities. There was hardly anything left, and they dared not spend it.
Even if they raised chickens and ducks, they couldn't sell them for a good price in the city, and they had to spend a lot of energy watching over them, so it wasn't worth it. Therefore, their situation never changed.
The Sun family will provide the funds, seeds, piglets, and chicks/ducklings; there's no need to worry about sales, they just need to take care of them...
The village chief reminded everyone, "This is all thanks to my younger sister, her brother, and sister-in-law for their care and concern..."
"Last time, when we faced Wanjia Village, my younger sister and the eldest son said they wanted to get all the men off the boats and out of the mines..."
"If we can continue doing seafood business with the He family, and also develop planting and breeding, we can bring back the men who have gone out to work, and the village will be lively again!"
The villagers only thought that it would increase their income. If the men in their families could come back, they could share the burden with each other and there would be no need to worry about their safety. That would be the best thing ever!
The villagers were very grateful and had no objections to the Ruan family's expansion project; in fact, many offered to help.
Less than 15 minutes after Feng Yun and Feng Xi left, they returned with the villagers, who offered to help them.
The land allocated to the Ruan, Song, and Fan families in the village was spaced a certain distance apart, so naturally no one built houses right next to the three families.
The expansion of the Ruan family's property will not actually harm the interests of the villagers, but the Ruan family's adherence to rules and respect for the opinions of the village chief and villagers will make the villagers feel closer to them.
This was the first time Sun Mu'en had ever seen such a harmonious and warm-hearted neighborhood environment. Although he had gotten along well with his neighbors back in the mansion, that was because during festivals, the mansion would set up tents to distribute porridge and invite neighbors to watch traditional operas...
The villagers of Fengjia Village not only treated the Ruan family well, but also showed great affection and mutual assistance among themselves.
Sun Chengen saw the smile on Sun Mu'en's face and in his eyes.
There were no objections to the expansion. Sun Chengen immediately made arrangements to have the escorts return by merchant ship and bring back timber and bricks. Price was not an issue, and the house was to be completed that very night!
The villagers looked at each other in disbelief. Although they hadn't seen the actual product yet, they could already sense the power of strength from Sun Chengen's tone!
The entire village worked day and night for two or three days to build it, but for Young Master Sun, it was just a matter of talking!
Merchant ships replaced manpower, eliminating the need to cut down trees and have several people work together to carry each tree down; and the need to fire clay bricks, the bricks were transported directly to the site, where hundreds of people waited...
This moment is deeply imprinted in the hearts of the people of Fengjia Village.
They yearn that one day they too will be able to easily solve even the most difficult problems...
Although that day is still far away.
After Sun Chengen finished explaining, Ruan Meng walked up to him:
"Now, I'd like to discuss with Young Master Sun the price for treating Miss Sun..."
Sun Mu'en smiled and corrected her, "Mu'en..."
Ruan Meng smiled, "Miss Mu En..."
He chuckled inwardly. With the person in question so friendly, how could Sun Chengen possibly haggle over the price...?
Although Sun Chengen had no such intention.
The two stepped aside; this reason was not suitable for the villagers to hear.
After listening, Sun Chengen couldn't help but look Ruan Meng up and down, his eyes full of doubt.
"That's it? Are you sure?"
