At first, Xiao Mengjie refused to accept so much money no matter what.
Finally, under Xiao Weiguo's insistence and Hu Zi Xiao Jian's persuasion, they had no choice but to accept it.
Xiao Weiguo is right. It's already difficult enough for a young woman like her to support two people. The idea of earning money to treat her mother's illness is simply out of the question.
"Brother Xiao, can you tell me why this is?"
The Xiao family helped her time and time again, which she couldn't understand.
This can't be explained simply by being a good person. They say you can help in an emergency, but not in a life of poverty; Xiao Weiguo couldn't possibly keep investing in her family's bottomless pit for no reason.
Xiao Weiguo thought about it for a moment, but still didn't tell the truth.
He didn't want the girl to worry about Xiao Feng anymore, so he decided to just pretend he had vanished into thin air.
"Mengjie, don't think too much about it. Just consider it as me doing a good deed. Live your life well from now on, and things will get better."
Xiao Weiguo reached out and patted her shoulder, then turned and left with a few people.
Xiao Mengjie stood there blankly, holding a large stack of money, and it took her a long time to utter a single sentence.
Goodbye, Brother Xiao.
She's not stupid; at her age, she understands everything. She knows there must be something going on, but Xiao Weiguo won't tell her, so there's nothing she can do.
After waving goodbye to Xiao Mengjie, Xiao Weiguo and the others left the courtyard.
Tiger carefully closed the door behind her.
The roads in the countryside were in such poor condition that they didn't drive when they came.
Following the village path, Xiao Weiguo led his brothers toward Xiao Wenjin's house.
"Brother, where are we going?"
Xiao Jian realized the road was wrong and asked a question.
“Go to the old Party Secretary’s place. The land on the southeast slope has been decided. I’ll take you there to take a look. You can also offer any suggestions you may have.”
Xiao Weiguo explained to his younger brother with a smile.
The reason for bringing Xiao Jian along was that Xiao Weiguo had his own plans.
With the land deal settled, the next step is to invest in infrastructure construction, followed by purchasing equipment and recruiting staff...
The whole process involved a huge amount of work.
There's also the Panlong Group, a huge operation in the county town, and his villa is under construction. There's also an electronics factory in the provincial capital and Dr. Zhang's laboratory, all of which are in their initial stages. Even if Xiao Weiguo divided it into three parts, he still wouldn't be able to handle everything.
Therefore, someone needs to help him share the burden at the textile factory in Xiaotun.
After much thought, the best candidate is of course Xiao Jian.
Firstly, he's my own brother, so I trust him. Secondly, everyone else has things to do, and it's a waste that Xiao Jian and Hu Zi are just tending to that small plot of land.
Most importantly, Xiao Weiguo wanted to take this opportunity to train Xiao Jian's abilities.
The future is long, and Xiao Jian, as his younger brother, cannot spend his whole life buried in the yellow earth.
Since he doesn't want to leave, then putting him in the position at Xiaotun Textile Factory is the most suitable option.
In the early stages, he didn't need to do much; his role was simply to oversee the engineering and equipment procurement.
Once the factory is up and running, he only needs to ensure the quality of production. As for the sale of finished products, Panlong Apparel will cover the costs, so he doesn't need to worry about that at all.
In seeking a way out for his younger brother, Xiao Weiguo went to great lengths. He thought of everything he could for them.
"Brother, is the land deal really settled?"
The village has held several meetings to discuss this matter and solicit the opinions of the villagers, and Xiao Jian has naturally heard about it as well.
The thought of his older brother building a large factory on that barren land still excited Xiao Jian.
When he and Hu Zi were in Daye Town, they were always the hardest-working laborers. They were the envy of the regular front-line textile workers.
If my older brother can get the factory up and running here, wouldn't he and Hu Zi have a chance to become full-time employees?
And it's right in front of my own house, which makes me very happy.
When they arrived at Xiao Wenjin's house, Xiao Weiguo called the old Party Secretary out of his house.
The road was difficult to walk on, and the country lanes outside the village were even more rugged, so the group decided to walk towards that area.
It was midday, and the weather was very hot. I walked along the bumpy country path, with lush green crops on both sides.
The moisture evaporated by the sun filled the air with various plant scents.
If you're a farmer who spends all year in the fields, you can guess what's planted on either side of the field even with your eyes closed.
“Weiguo, if you want to set up a factory on the southeast slope, you need to repair the road first, otherwise, cars won’t be able to get in.”
Xiao Weiguo walked side by side with the old Party Secretary, and nodded upon hearing this.
"I've thought about this problem; it just depends on where you're coming from."
He pointed in the direction of the South River and said to Xiao Wenjin.
“We will build a main road along the north bank of the South River, directly connecting it to the national highway. It will take about three or four kilometers. I will pay for it myself, but it will take up some of the farmers’ land. You will have to do this work.”
Land acquisition is unavoidable when building roads, and Xiao Wenjin understands that.
This is not something that Xiao Weiguo can solve by simply taking out some money to compensate the farmers.
Some people can't stand seeing others do well. If there's such a person on the route you're planning, and they strongly disagree or make exorbitant demands, then things will be very difficult.
Human nature is unpredictable. Even if Xiao Weiguo does something great for the village, there will be troublemakers who will try to stop him. The reason is simple: the desire for personal gain will make many people envious.
