Chapter 92: Jealousy of them using dirty tricks
Xiao Cailian went out and immediately called her grandson, asking them to invite all the family members over.
The reason why Xiao Cailian has so much say in the village is that she has a large family, including a lot of sons and daughters-in-law, so she has enough momentum when she stands out. What's more, the only college student in the village is also in their family.
When Lu Xiang arrived at the threshing ground, it was already packed with people. Her heart skipped a beat, thinking the agreement was sealed.
Unexpectedly, this move caused a huge uproar. When the villagers heard that a pig farm was going to be opened, many of them dropped their work in the fields and ran to the threshing ground, surrounding the village chief.
When Xiao Cailian and Lu Xiang arrived, they were already surrounded by people in three layers.
"Village Chief, my family's annual centimeters are among the best in the village. We have eleven members in our family who are all hard workers. Raising pigs is such a big deal, it should be our turn!"
"That's right. Last time I heard Lu Xiang's second sister say that it was a cooperative pig farming for the whole village. Our village finally has a pig farm, and it can't be allocated to one person." The person who said this was a little smart. He knew that it would be allocated to one person and they would have no share.
They instigated that the pig farm should be returned to the village. When the pigs grew up, the villagers would definitely get a profit whether they were slaughtered or sold.
"Exactly, why should they give it to the Lu family? They got such a great thing for nothing. I don't accept it either."
"Village chief, you have to listen to everyone's opinions."
"that is."
Lu Xiang's face darkened. Not to mention the effort and time it took to successfully run the pig farm. She also spent ten yuan on beef to cook for Director Liu.
After taking so much trouble to get this thing done, everyone still wants to come and pick peaches from him.
Xiao Cailian said, "The village chief has his own reasons. You guys are chattering so much that you can't even hear what he's saying."
The Fu family had heard about the pig farm on their way here. They were all excited. Mrs. Fu and Brother Fu also wanted to take on the job!
Ever since the Fu family started selling duck necks, they've had a good meal and a constant supply of goodies. They've all tasted the sweetness. It seems they still have to make a living from this business. Everyone can see the benefits of raising pigs. It would be nice if they could get one.
There are more than one or two people in the village who have this idea.
Most people want to do it themselves, and if that doesn't work, they let the village do it.
Anyway, no one agrees to let the Lu family do it.
The village chief stood on a big rock and said to everyone, "Be quiet. What are you all doing? Are you all going to rebel?"
After hearing the village chief's words, everyone quieted down, although some people were still muttering.
Everyone wanted to know how this great opportunity of raising pigs came into the hands of the Lu couple.
It can’t be because of Lu Ping’s matter, so feel sorry for them!
They would not accept this reason, as there are many poor people in the village.
Everyone was talking about all sorts of things, but gradually things quieted down, noticing the village chief standing there without saying a word. As time went on, they didn't dare to act rashly.
The village chief said, "I was thinking of telling you later, but who knew someone would start gossiping about it."
After listening to the village chief's words, the village clerk lowered his head.
It was he who told his mother about it. Who knew that the whole village knew about it?
The village chief said, "You all want to know why the Lu family is responsible for raising pigs. Are you so angry that you come to find me? Then I will tell you why the Lu family is responsible for it!"
He hadn't wanted to say it, but he and Lu Xiang had underestimated the obsession that pig farming had on the villagers.
Now that things have gotten to this point, if we don't make everything clear, I'm afraid they won't let it go easily.
Since it was related to the big business of raising pigs in the village, many people came together, even Mr. and Mrs. Lu who lived far away came.
The village chief said, "Lu Xiang is an advanced member of the village and has been commended by the county. She also proposed raising pigs to the county leaders. They are committed to building a new countryside, and the county leaders attach great importance to it, so we have a follow-up."
The village chief looked at everyone and made it clear that without Lu Xiang, the village would not be able to raise pigs.
But some people seemed to be stiff-necked, not caring at all, and still obsessed with raising pigs.
The village chief continued, "And the recipe for burning dung a few days ago was also provided by Lu Xiang."
As soon as the words fell, the people below began to whisper.
Some people also secretly glanced at Lu Xiang's face. They didn't realize she had such a talent.
Those present all worked in the fields year-round. They had seen firsthand how effective burning manure was.
This calmed down the heated attitude of the group a little.
The village chief continued, "Lu Xiang came to me and told me that he wanted his parents to raise pigs to earn more money. I disagreed. The village used to raise pigs, but everyone knows why they stopped. Raising pigs doesn't guarantee profit!"
The village chief looked at everyone and said, "I later gave Lu Xiang an impossible task: to go to the fertilizer factory and buy two tons of fertilizer. I only agreed after she bought it."
This statement was undoubtedly a bombshell dropped into the crowd. Buy fertilizer? Do they have fertilizer?
The village chief didn't keep the secret and said, "Lu Xiang came to me with a request for two tons of fertilizer. This one request is worth over a thousand. Why wouldn't I agree? Who among you can get that much fertilizer?"
This was the first time Xiao Cailian, including Lu's parents, heard the reason behind this. The Fu family also had a new respect for Lu Xiang.
The director of the fertilizer plant is a high-ranking official in terms of rank. How did she convince him?
Hearing this, the villagers also sighed. It was indeed Lu Xiang who had pulled this off, but some people still said, "Can't we just let them raise pigs while we get nothing?"
The village chief said, "That's a good question. I've already talked to the Lu family. I'll provide them with a place to raise pigs. They won't be responsible for the piglets or feed. They'll be responsible for any profits or losses. Regardless of how many pigs they raise, they'll give 30% to the village. When the pigs are ready, we'll slaughter them and share the meat among the whole village!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces were filled with smiles.
I knew the village chief wouldn't do business that would lose money.
Pigs can eat anything. Even eating bran alone can cost a lot of money in a year.
The village chief's solution silenced most people. A small number still wanted to fight for it. They were simply jealous of the Lu family's pig farming. The village chief, annoyed by their nagging, said, "If you can also get a note for two tons of fertilizer, I'll get you one too."
Everyone fell silent. They were still a little envious of the Lu family. The Lu family's parents, who had always been ignored, were now surrounded by people. Last time, Second Sister Lu mentioned a cooperative pig farming business and asked if they could join.
Lu's parents had already discussed the match and said, "We don't know what's going on yet, let's try raising it for a year."
Some people also said sourly: "You really have a good daughter!" Thanks to having such a daughter, otherwise how could the pie in the sky fall on them.
But some people were unhappy and spread the word, "Raising pigs is not that easy. If you don't raise the pigs well, you will lose so much money that you can't even afford to wear your pants." He said it loudly on purpose!
Lu Xiang heard this and replied, "Don't worry about that. My parents have never raised pigs, but they have someone on the pig farm who will teach them step by step."
When the people around heard this, their eyes turned red with jealousy.
