"Village Chief Lu, you know how hard it is for farmers to make money. My grandfather made bamboo weaving and his ten fingers were worn out. He could not make much money in a year. You asked us to move away like this, which is no different from asking us to die."

Yun Mo said she was pitiful and poor, but she actually just wanted compensation. How could Village Chief Lu not hear it?

"Oh, Miss Yun, Sister Huang, I also come from a poor family, and I understand your difficulties. How about this, you hire a construction team, buy building materials, and rent this house, and the township will pay for it for you. What do you think?"

Anyway, Zhejiang businessmen are planning to demolish the school and rebuild a new factory. The construction team still has this house. Their village can take it over and then transfer it to Zhejiang businessmen, so they won't lose anything.

Yun Mo acted as if she was reluctant to leave. "Village Chief Lu, do we have to move away? In fact, our bamboo weaving factory is willing to provide jobs for the villagers, and the wages will definitely not be lower than the standard level in Anshi..."

Seeing Yun Mo hesitating, Village Chief Lu became a little impatient.

"There are some things I didn't want to say, for fear of discouraging you. As a person, you still have to know yourself. You know that the garment factory run by Zhejiang businessmen has as many as two or three hundred workers in the workshop alone, and the annual profit easily exceeds one million.

The money you make from your bamboo weaving factory is less than the tax paid by others. Don’t think I’m snobbish. As the head of the village, it is my duty to find a way out for the villagers.”

Yun Mo sighed, "Village Chief Lu, you are right. We are not strong enough. We cannot blame others."

Village Chief Lu smiled as if to say, "You are very sensible." "Okay, then you should pack up today and move out as soon as possible."

"Please rest assured, Township Head Lu, we will move out immediately after receiving the deposit and compensation, without wasting a second."

When Village Chief Lu heard that Yun Mo wanted to get the money first before leaving, he immediately frowned.

"The finance department has asked for leave these two days. You can move out first and come to the township to get the money in a few days. It will be the same."

"Then it's the same if we move in a few days. Mayor Lu, please understand our difficulties. We have used all our money to pay the deposit and to set up the factory. Now we don't have a penny on hand, and we have nowhere to move. Otherwise, we can only move to the township government building or Mayor Lu's home temporarily."

Hearing Yun Mo's threat, Village Chief Lu's face darkened.

"I will notify the finance department to come to the township government this afternoon when I get back. You can come over in the afternoon to handle the formalities."

"What time is it, please?"

"Come over at 2."

"Okay, I'll be there on time at 2 o'clock. Please take care, Township Chief Lu."

As soon as Village Chief Lu left, Yun Mo immediately put away the smile on her face.

The fake smile was so tiring that the muscles in her face were almost cramping.

"Momo, are we really going to move out?"

Facing Huang Zhiqiu's question, Yun Mo nodded seriously, "We have to move out. You can see that the people here are hostile to us. If we stay here, they will definitely come to cause trouble every few days. It's hard to guard against them.

"There is no place to stay here, only places to stay. They are determined that our bamboo weaving factory cannot compare with the garment factory, so we must make some achievements to let them see!"

Alas~ The Huang family father and daughter did not take Yun Mo’s words to heart. They went back to the house in a depressed mood and started packing their things.

Yun Mo went to school to inform Chen Bin and Ling Chuan to stop working.

When Yun Mo arrived at the school, the river sand, cement and asbestos tiles that she had asked You Wei to buy yesterday had just been delivered, and the supplier of building materials came to her with the invoice to settle the bill.

Yun Mo directly told You Wei, "We have terminated the land lease contract with the township government, and Township Chief Lu has also agreed to bear the cost of the building materials we purchased.

But Mayor Lu said that the finance department is not here, so you can’t get the money for now. You can go to Mayor Lu tomorrow to settle the bill.”

Of course, You Wei didn't dare to bother Village Chief Lu with such a small matter, so he went to find Secretary He.

"That's what happened."

Secretary He didn't know that Yun Mo had bought another batch of building materials of the same quantity, and nodded to confirm what Yun Mo said.

You Wei felt relieved and turned back to school, asking the building materials supplier to bring the order to the township government for settlement tomorrow.

You Wei still had some influence in the local area, so the building materials supplier left with peace of mind.

After lunch, they took a nap until 1:30. Huang Kailin stayed at home while the others followed Yun Mo to the township government to terminate the contract and get the money.

Perhaps because he didn't want to cause any trouble, when the contract was terminated, Mayor Lu didn't make any more trouble. He quickly asked the finance department to return the 5,000 deposit and paid the compensation that had been agreed upon.

"Ms. Huang, I've already given you the money. I hope you can move out before 5 p.m. today. Tomorrow the people from Zhejiang Merchants will come to take over the site."

After signing the termination agreement, Village Chief Lu urged the Huang family to move out and appointed two village cadres, including Secretary He, to go with them.

He said that he wanted the two of them to help clean up, but in fact he was just afraid that Yun Mo would not leave.

Yun Mo didn't care. She had already gotten the money anyway, and she didn't want to stay in this shabby place for even a minute longer.

A few minutes after Yun Mo left, two cars with local license plates arrived at the gate of the township government.

One of them was an Audi with a license plate number starting with 0, and the other was a Nissan.

Mayor Lu’s first reaction was that the leaders from above and representatives of Zhejiang businessmen had arrived, and he hurried out to greet them.

"Hey, Vice President Zhao, why are you here in person? Come on, please come in and take a seat."

Village head Lu nodded and bowed, his attitude was extremely flattering.

The reason was simple: the person who came was his brother-in-law's immediate superior, a big leader in the city.

Zhao Xuehai naturally knew Mayor Lu, and his attitude was quite familiar. "Xiao Lu, you don't have to worry. I came here today to take care of some personal matters."

Personal matter?

Deputy SJ Zhao actually asked him to do a private matter, so wouldn't he be soaring to the sky?! Village Chief Lu was both excited and flattered, "Deputy SJ Zhao, if there is anything I can do, just tell me, I will never refuse, even if it means risking my life."

Zhao Xuehai ignored the slick words of Township Chief Lu and said, "I'm here to look for someone. Is there a girl named Yun in Wanchuan Township? She's about 17 or 18, but not yet 20."

The surname Yun...

Village Chief Lu's heart skipped a beat. "Deputy SJ Zhao, you're not asking about... Yun Mo, are you?"

Zhao Xuehai didn't say anything. Zuo Xiaotang behind him nodded hurriedly, "Yes, it's her, Yun Mo, the Mo of jasmine! Where is her home? Please take us there."

Village Chief Lu's heart skipped a beat, but he forced a smile on his face, "Deputy SJ Zhao, what do you want to see her for?"

"I have something personal to do. Please lead the way."

Zhao Xuehai didn't want to say more, and Village Chief Lu didn't dare to ask more questions, so he had to get in the car and lead the way.
