The cooperation agreement between Fengjia Village and the Sun family had been reviewed by Magistrate Deng and the county clerk. So, although the pretext for sending them was to come and see the cooperation, it was really just to let them get to know the people and familiarize themselves with the situation.
The county magistrate and registrar were usually too busy with trivial matters to visit Fengjia Village. This time, however, they witnessed the interactions between the Ruan, Song, and Fan families, as well as the village chief's family and the Sun family.
Seeing how the young master and manager of Lianxinglin Hall, as well as the young master and manager of He Family Restaurant, interacted, the county magistrate and registrar had even more confidence in their upcoming cooperation. They could finally understand why the county magistrate was so attentive and full of anticipation.
With the county magistrate and registrar present, Ruan Qian asked the village chief to preside over a discussion with Sun Chengen about the next steps.
The village chief, relying on the Ruan siblings, asked them to speak first.
Ruan Qian looked at Ruan Meng, who readily agreed.
"Don't rush to distribute the supplies. I suggest bringing planting and breeding experts to the village first to take a look and choose suitable planting and breeding sites."
"We solicit their opinions to understand the talent needs for planting and breeding. When they determine the planting and breeding sites, we select villagers based on their suggestions and assign them tasks accordingly."
"After the initial determination, the village chief, Brother Feng, Brother Feng and his wife can help persuade the villagers and obtain their consent. Then the village chief can gather the villagers and make demands on them."
"The purpose is to remind everyone to cherish this opportunity and not to waste it just because the seedlings and cubs are free."
"Young Master Sun supports this opportunity. If we mess it up, there may not be another chance."
"We must enhance our sense of responsibility, cherish the opportunity to be mentored by skilled individuals, learn real skills, humbly seek advice, and not drive people away."
"After the communication is completed, we will carry out basic construction under the guidance of the experts. For example, we will erect fences, repair railings, and reclaim and restore land."
"Once these are done, we can assign specific personnel to each group to distribute the supplies."
In my previous life, I was a team leader who led several foreign aid missions, faced life-or-death situations, formulated plans, led teams, and demanded that no mistakes be made.
In comparison, leading the villagers of Fengjia Village was a piece of cake!
Thinking of those few "bad apples" who had just become citizens, Ruan Meng gritted her teeth. All she wanted was to cook delicious food and lead everyone to make money. Was she really that hated?
After Ruan Meng finished speaking, Village Chief Feng and the Song and Fan families all had a clearer understanding of the situation.
Feng Yun, Song Shiwen, and others all gave a thumbs up.
The county magistrate and the registrar nodded repeatedly.
Ruan Meng's suggestion was agreed upon by everyone. The county magistrate and the registrar had other matters to attend to at the county office and did not stay long.
While everyone was discussing, Ruan Meng asked Sister-in-law Song for help to wrap the seaweed cakes one by one in oil paper.
Then, the pre-reserved braised dishes, braised meat, kelp, and dried tofu were packaged into dozens of portions.
Before leaving, Ruan Meng gave each person a gift. Since Magistrate Deng was not present, Ruan Meng gave Feng Da two extra gifts and asked him to convey the message.
After more than an hour, the seaweed cakes were not completely dried. Ruan Meng reminded everyone that if they went back and continued to dry them, they could store them for a longer time and break off a portion to eat when needed.
The group returned with their loot. Ruan Meng found her elder brother and truthfully told him about the guards who had been following them.
Next door, He Cong and Manager Yu had already left, leaving Xiao Kai behind. He said that Sun Chengen had just arrived and there were many things to do in the village, so he was asked to help Sun Chengen for a few days and then return to Xinglin Hall once things were on track.
Before leaving, Lin Qingyu brought up the pharmaceutical business with Ruan Meng. Ruan Meng was grateful and prepared to put it on the agenda as soon as possible so that Du Xiaocan would also have something to look forward to.
When Ruan Meng informed her elder brother of the situation, Xiao Kai was stopped by Sun Chengen.
Sun Chengen clearly saw Ruan Meng's expression during their private conversation on the shore.
Xiao Kai truthfully reported the situation.
"Young Master, should I send a few more people over there to scout?"
Sun Chengen shook his head, which Xiao Kai interpreted as Sun Chengen not wanting to get involved and treating it as a test for the Ruan siblings.
What Sun Chengen was really thinking was that he didn't want to disrupt Ruan Meng's plans.
He said calmly, "If she's borrowing people, you can make your own arrangements."
next door.
Ruan Qian called his two younger brothers aside to let them understand the situation. The second brother's expression was unusually serious, while the third brother's fist hardened again.
Ruan Qian first asked his second and third sons, "What good ideas do you have?"
The second son thought for a moment and analyzed:
"They haven't done anything now. Since they didn't catch the culprit back then, they won't admit to anything. They might even turn around and accuse us of being intolerant..."
Ruan Qian nodded in satisfaction, acknowledging the second son's progress, and then looked at the third son.
Compared to when he first arrived on the island, the third brother's impulsiveness has decreased, but his fighting spirit remains.
"If we give in, they'll think we're easy to bully. They can dress up, so why can't we?"
Ruan Meng looked at her third brother and gave him a silent high five.
