Chapter 126 The Saint Is No Longer Saint



But Aong was skeptical, but he didn't show it on his face. Xie Yinren had told Aong before that Su Ran wanted to build a road, but Aong just thought it was naive. Even if Su Ran came, he wouldn't have believed it, because building a road is a big deal. He was most worried about the "deep tricks in the city." My Yinren is too naive. Those rich people in the city are very bad. They might cheat her out of her body under the guise of building a road. Aong had argued with Xie Yinren several times about this, but every time Xie Yinren said, "Su Ran is a good person. He wouldn't do that."

Aong was so angry that his blood pressure rose, but when he saw Su Ran, he found that he was not the same as he had imagined. The real person was gentle and polite, with a scholarly air. But that was not the case. There were so many gentlemanly people who were bad, so he could not be trusted too much.

After all, building a road is not a project that costs tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars, but tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars. No normal person would believe that a rich person would invest like this without expecting any return.

There was nothing wrong with thinking this way, so on the surface I was still very polite and went up to greet Su Ran and invited her into the house to rest and have tea.

This is a typical Miao wooden house on stilts, with blue brick eaves on top and many peppers and corns hanging below. There is a stone mill and a stone mortar for making rice cakes in the yard. Outside the yard are fertile fields and an old Miao man leading an old ox.

It is a very primitive, secluded and undeveloped ancient Miao village.

Inside the room, there are portraits of Chairman Mao, perpetual calendars, and posters of Aaron Kwok.

The wooden door on the right is Xie Yinren's bedroom, where she is changing clothes.

Su Ran and Aong sat in front of the stove in the house. The firewood was crackling in the stove, and an iron pot covered with pot ash hung above it. The boiling water was ready. Aong scooped it into the chicken bowl with a spoon, "Mr. Su, please have some tea."

"Okay." Su Ran tasted it, "It tastes good. Does the old man grow the tea himself here?" Su Ran did not use the fighting power of his tongue to taste it. Most of the time, Su Ran did not need to do so, because life needs fun. If he used the fighting power of his tongue to taste all the details, he would know everything, and life would lose its original fun.

"We grow our own tea here. The tea we eat is picked and roasted by Yin Ren himself, knowing that I like to drink tea." The old man's face was filled with happiness when he mentioned Yin Ren. "By the way, Mr. Su, are you here to invest this time? Our village doesn't have anything worth investing in."

“Of course there are some that have been developed.”

Aren’t the Xie Yin people in need of development?

Huh~

Su Ran blew away the tea foam, took a sip, and said with a smile, "Old man, you must be very curious about why I agreed to build a road for Xie Yinren. You're worried that I have other intentions, right?" The old man didn't say anything, so Su Ran continued, "I won't hide it. In fact, I promised Yinren to build a road for her hometown. Well... I don't need it. I promise a girl something and I will do it, otherwise she will call me a liar. Of course, all this is based on my ability. If I didn't have that ability, I wouldn't have agreed to build a road so easily."

Aung: "You built the road because you promised Yin Ren, but have you ever considered that building a road is not cheap? Didn't you feel the difficulties along the way?"

Su Ran: "I've definitely felt that. It's very difficult, crossing mountains and rivers. Building a road under these conditions would be very troublesome, and the cost would be several times higher. But I actually searched the map before coming here. If possible, we can just build a tunnel instead of building a road. It would save trouble."

this……

Aong was stunned. Building a tunnel is more expensive than building a bridge or a road. It saves time but costs money.

"Don't worry about the money. I mean what I say."

The system pays anyway.

"really?"

"My words aren't enough to prove anything, but after I finish my inspection, I'll contact the road and bridge company when I get back to the city. Building the road isn't the main goal. The most important thing is that after the road is built, we can showcase your beautiful scenery to people outside, attracting more tourists. We can also export your agricultural and sideline products, and thus make you rich. That's the best outcome."

The old man looked at Su Ran's sincere eyes, and he was a little convinced, but he didn't dare to believe it. After all, the Miao ethnic group was surrounded by mountains, and digging a tunnel was the best way. But the tunnel was too expensive, and it stretched for seven or eight kilometers. How much would it cost?

If he really paid for it, he would definitely have a place among this year's top ten outstanding young people and top ten people who moved China.

The old man stopped talking nonsense. After all, truth and falsehood could not be distinguished through words. However, he still had to say something. "Mr. Su, if you really want to build a road, we won't let you pay for it alone. The city has been soliciting investment before, and some people from all walks of life are willing to invest, but the funds are not enough. If you add your contribution, how much can you contribute?"

"I'll pay for whatever the gap is." Su Ran didn't waste any words. It was the system that paid.

The old man fell silent again, then continued, "Well...we'll see how much the total cost is. Another village's road and bridge cost around 700 million yuan. Our village has a complex terrain, so it should be around 1 billion yuan."

"It's okay. After the people from all walks of life pay, I'll take care of the rest. You don't have to worry about it."

"good!"

The old man said nothing, wondering if this young man had a gold mine at home.

At this moment, the wooden door creaked. Su Ran turned around and looked. Her eyes lit up. It was Xie Yinren who came out wearing a set of Miao silver-decorated clothes. "Su Ran~" She lowered her head shyly, "Have you never seen a Miao girl?"

"I've never seen this before. It's quite beautiful. Are these all made of sterling silver?"
