The villagers were both afraid of the village chief and excited when they heard they would receive a salary, even feeling that the chief hadn't done enough repairs.
They should build some more villas or something in the mountains. Don't city people love building houses deep in the mountains? I heard they're really expensive!
Seeing that the villagers' thoughts had returned to normal, Liang Xunling coughed lightly to signal the village chief to continue. The village chief quickly nodded with a smile and coughed lightly into the loudspeaker to draw everyone's attention back to him.
"The foundation is called the Xinyan Foundation, and Xiaoyanbao, also known as Xiaoxinyan, will serve as its president. Let's give her a round of applause!"
The villagers didn't pay much attention to these things, but a few villagers who were hostile to Xiao Yanbao all looked at him with ill intent as he was being held and lifted up by Li Muchen.
"The foundation has three vice presidents, namely myself, Ninth Master, and Master Xu. If you have any opinions, please raise them now."
The village chief had barely finished speaking when a man in his fifties in the audience suddenly stood up and asked loudly:
"When will the road be repaired? The road to school for our grandson is too difficult to travel. If it could be repaired to the school, that would be great!"
Liang Xunling and Zhong Jingyi had previously learned about education in the mountain village. It turned out that there were three or four similar villages within a 20-mile radius, but none of them had a large population and therefore no schools of their own.
A few years ago, the education bureau consolidated the student lists of these villages and built a primary school in the center of these villages. This primary school is three or four kilometers away from Xiaoyanbao's village.
This distance doesn't sound far, but the mountain road itself is only three or four kilometers long, so it would probably take nearly ten kilometers to get there.
If the children travel along the mountain path to and from school, they will spend two or three hours each day just on their way to school.
Upon hearing the villagers' suggestion, the village chief first glanced at Ninth Master and Liang Xunling. Seeing that they both seemed to agree, he immediately spoke:
"It definitely needs to be repaired, and the first road to be repaired will be the one from the village entrance to the school."
After saying this, the village chief looked down at Liang Xunling beside him and asked quietly:
"Mr. Liang, when do you think it would be appropriate for us to start building this road?"
Liang Xunling knew the village chief was asking her for money, so she chuckled and said loudly:
"We'll go rent equipment that can go up the mountain tomorrow, and you should also quickly assemble a construction team. We need to start construction no later than the day after tomorrow!"
As Liang Xunling spoke, the village chief deliberately placed the loudspeaker in front of her, and the villagers cheered when they heard her words.
That's how people are. No matter how well you speak, they won't genuinely think you're good. But if you show them the benefits they're about to receive, then everyone will only have praise for you in their hearts.
