"That's the village chief!"
Liu Laosan from Fenghuang Village pointed at Ye Tian’s car and turned to speak to Qu Wei.
Qu Wei looked very haggard, but his eyes were as majestic as a lion king's.
After a quick glance, he also saw the Yanhuang Group's car behind Ye Tian.
"Has your village chief been elected?"
"Of course I did!"
"Brother, let me tell you, without our village chief, there would be no Phoenix Village today."
Liu Laosan smoked his pipe and pointed to the village road.
“You can ask others, what was this road like before?”
"The roads back then were like swamps when it rained, and dusty when it wasn't raining. Villagers who wanted to leave would be covered in dust by the time they reached the village entrance to catch the bus."
“People from nearby villages don’t want to come to Phoenix Village!”
"Why, didn't your village chief build it before?"
Qu Wei also took out a cigarette from his pocket, but it was the most ordinary Hongtashan, and gave one to Liu Laosan and others. Everyone knew each other in the car, and Liu Laosan thought Qu Wei was here to see the Phoenix Well.
"The former village chief Zhang repaired the road every year!" The old man next to him smoked a cigarette and spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm.
"We build roads every year, but at most they're good for a month before they're ruined again. What's the point of all the trouble? It's all to pay for the road. If we don't build roads, where will we make money?"
“Are all common people blind?”
"The worse this road gets, the more they repair it every year."
Liu Laosan flicked the ash from his cigarette and pointed towards the village road again.
"Look, it's newly renovated, how nice!"
Qu Wei also nodded and said with a gloomy face: "So, the former village chief was simply a bastard."
"Brother, it's okay if you say it now. If you said it before, you would get beaten."
"Dare!" Qu Wei sneered.
When Liu Laosan saw Qu Wei like this, he also laughed.
"Brother, that's the Phoenix Well over there. There aren't many tourists now because winter is almost here. If you come next spring, when the Phoenix Well opens, every household will be setting up stalls."
"Phoenix Well?"
Qu Wei was stunned for a moment. Walking on the village road, he saw villagers in groups of three or four, as if they were going to play poker.
"Aren't you here to see the Phoenix Well?"
Qu Wei nodded quickly. He came here to investigate on his own. Qu Wei had a habit of only trusting his own eyes and the common people.
Qu Wei simply doesn't believe the so-called investigation report or any data.
Data and reports are written by people and can deceive people.
"How is the harvest in your village this year?" Qu Wei asked again.
"Brother, what do you think?"
"Every household has a greenhouse, and there are also farms growing vegetables. Look over there."
Liu Laosan pointed to the west. In that yard, every household had a pear tree, and the chimneys seemed to be newly built.
"What's wrong?"
“Home for low-income households!”
Qu Wei looked over and he also wanted to go and take a look at the low-income households.
"The village chief planted pear trees for all the low-income households. As long as they take care of the trees, when the golden pears are harvested next year, these households will no longer be low-income households."
“There are no low-income households in our village!”
"Not really?"
Qu Wei walked over without letting Liu Laosan follow him. He wondered if these people were relatives of Ye Tian's family.
When I walked over, I saw Wang Shuangxi about to go out.
"Fellow villagers, can I go in and ask for a drink of water?"
"Come in!"
Wang Shuangxi was stunned, but still very enthusiastic. He didn't expect that there would be tourists at this time.
Qu Wei walked into the yard. The yard was spotless and Wang Shuangxi's wife was cutting noodles.
"Was this pear tree given by the village?"
"That was given to me by our village chief!"
When Wang Shuangxi talked about pear trees, he became endlessly talkative.
Qu Wei was shocked again. According to Wang Shuangxi, Ye Tian's first priority as acting village chief was to solve the problem of low-income households. Moreover, the farm also had shares in the village.
The village committee is responsible for whatever happens in the village.
"Village Chief Ye is a good man!"
"I have never met such a good person in my life." Wang Shuangxi's daughter-in-law burst into tears of gratitude.
"Life will be fine soon, stop crying and get discouraged!"
"Yes, don't cry, it's depressing!"
"Well, old man, would you like to have some food?"
Qu Wei shook his head, stood up again, and asked, "I heard your village chief is very domineering and knows many people. He even knows the big bosses in the county?"
"This is true."
"You know that too?"
Qu Wei looked at Wang Shuangxi again.
"Of course I know. All the villagers know that those people wanted to bully the village chief, but they were subdued by him."
"Our village chief is a kind man, otherwise these guys..."
Qu Wei left the yard again and walked towards Phoenix Well. As soon as he reached Phoenix Well, he saw Zhu Jinsheng holding firewood and driving Taibai chickens.
“Why are you still employing child labor?”
"outrageous!"
Qu Wei snorted coldly. Just as he finished speaking, he saw Zhu Jinsheng glaring at him and asked, "Who are you calling child labor?"
"Where are you from?"
