Dong Yunrong breathed a sigh of relief. "I feel relieved when you say that."
Zhou Xiang couldn't help laughing. "Mom, are you worried about having too many houses? Let me tell you, people in the countryside want to move to the town, people in the town want to move to the county, and people in the county want to move to the city. As long as you have a house and land, you'll never lose out."
"I was worried that you couldn't come up with that much money, didn't I? Oh no! That worry is in vain. You just extorted hundreds of millions from the Kong family. If you can't spend it all, just consider it as charity and contribute to the development of the town."
"Mom, that was the money I earned from selling medicine. How can this be considered extortion?"
"Yes, yes, it was the money from selling the antidote. Your Aunt Wang imitated your speech that day perfectly. You made the Kong family so angry that they were fuming. It's a pity that I didn't see it happen."
The mother-in-law's last words made Zhou Xiang think of the old leader's expression when he saw the scene that day. He was full of interest!
At this time, the old leader finally received the dried fish sent by Ling Ran. He felt that the mail was still too slow, so it would be better to pick it up directly. Unfortunately, he would never have the chance to go to the market town again.
Because he and Hong were almost finished at that time, and their freedom was restricted by their leaders.
The Kong family naturally sent a lot of gifts to calm them down, but unfortunately, there was nothing they liked. Gold, silver and jewelry were useless to them, and after testing, those medicines were not as good as the liquid medicine Zhou Xiang gave them.
Professor Chu looked at his disinterested old leader and asked, "What's wrong? You look listless? Didn't the dried fish you requested arrive?"
"I can't go out and play anymore."
Professor Chu waved his hand outside the house and said, "This place is so big, with mountains and rivers everywhere. I can't explore it all in one day!"
"It's too quiet and not lively."
Old Hong waved his hand, signaling Chu to stop trying to persuade him, "He's just getting carried away."
Professor Chu pursed his lips. He couldn't accept this, so he changed the subject. "Zhou Xiang is pregnant with three babies!"
"I knew it a long time ago. I also knew that she took in a family of five, a mother and her daughter! Alas, people in small places are so ignorant."
Professor Chu paused and said, "I, I want to retire."
The old leader and Mr. Hong looked at him in surprise. "What's wrong? You used to act like you were devoted to scientific research, but now you want to retire?"
"I, Zhou Xiang said he wanted to take care of me in my old age and let me retire there. I want to take care of the triplets."
The old leader laughed and said, "Your heart has been hooked too!"
Old Hong nodded, "Yes! Since your heart has flown away, then retire! You are already over the age limit, so retire!"
"Well, then can you arrange for someone to take over my job? Will you not want dried fish like this in the future?"
The old leader nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes! We can't cut off this connection! The only thing we still care about is this bite of food."
Old Master Hong nodded, "Then let your eldest disciple take over?"
"good!"
In fact, Professor Chu preferred Jiang Weihua, but Jiang Weihua's age was not convincing enough, and he had no such ideas. He just wanted to help Zhou Xiang continue to develop microelectronics.

When Ling Ran heard his wife had another big plan, he wasn't surprised at all. What was he going to do with all that money? Doing something he loved was the best. "Yeah! It's just like giving the town government a huge advantage for free."
"My mother is quite open-minded and says that this is a form of charity."
Ling Ran gently stroked his wife's bulging belly. "It's no different from doing charity. I don't know what kind of mess you'll make of this town in the future. Ouch! My daughter kicked me."
Zhou Xiang covered his tense belly and said, "Don't touch them anymore. They're kicking me and making my belly hurt."
"Okay, okay, I won't provoke them. Go to sleep!"
"How's things going at school?"
"We're digging the foundation. Don't worry. If it's not done right, the worst that can happen is we'll have to spend more money to fix it. Just take a good rest."
"Um!"
Someone from Xiao Xiezhuang also came to look for Zhou Xiang. It was his cousin Xie Bing. "Think about it."
"Uncle."
"Are you really triplets?"
"Yes! Did my cousin come here because the dump truck passed by?"
Xie Bing nodded. "Yes, dump trucks pass through the village every day. It's not very safe!"
"In a few days, will they have other explanations?"
"That's right, I just want the toll." Xie Bing couldn't open his mouth.
"Uncle, go back and tell them that this dump truck is for my school. If Xiao Xie Village doesn't give me an accommodating break even for a few days, I won't accept any students with the surname Xie in the future. Don't look down on that school now and then come to me to beg for favors later."
After Xie Bing left with a blushing face, he went to find Xie Lin. Xie Lin dropped the work in his hands, ran back to Xiaoxie Village and scolded the village chief and Xie Bing.
"Have you all grown your brains? I've done my best to maintain the relationship, and you're sabotaging it. What's wrong with the dump truck running for a few days? This road belongs to the village, but who dares to pay the toll?
If you don't believe me, try to collect money, and you will be arrested immediately. What's more, you are trying to collect money from your cousins. People in other villages must have laughed their heads off, as they have never seen such relatives. If Zhou Xiang encounters problems and you don't help her, but instead make trouble, it would be strange if she is willing to pull you into the fight.
If it weren't for that incident of digging medicinal herbs, she would have probably bought the land in Xiao Xie Village. You all have offended people a long time ago, and you don't even realize it, and you are still offending them to death."
After scolding the village chief, he turned around and scolded Xie Bing, "You too, I told you to go, so you went! That gold bar hasn't even warmed up yet, has it? Can't you ask me before going to Zhou's house? You're as stupid as a pig."
The village chief protested, "With cars coming and going, the children in the village are afraid to run and jump. The villagers are dissatisfied. She can use the money to set up a bonus in the town, so why can't she use the money to buy tolls?"
Xie Lin was so angry that his head hurt. "Xie Bing, next time there's an election, if anyone elects this idiot as village chief again, don't ask me for help if you have any problems in the future."
After saying that, he turned around and left Xiaoxie Village. He wondered if it was because the feng shui of the west was bad, and it produced only stupid people. No wonder Zhou Xiang was unwilling to build the school here!
The asphalt road in the town was being repaired very quickly and was open to traffic in three days. Before Xiao Xiezhuang could find another opportunity to complain, the dump trucks stopped coming.
On August 23, the road crew leader arrived and said, "Zhou Xiang, I've applied for your permit for private road construction and the privatization of the road 500 meters south of your school. Here's the permit."
Zhou Xiang took a piece of paper that looked like a kindergarten certificate. The few lines of text on it were exactly as the monitor had said, "Thank you, monitor."
"You're welcome, it's mutually beneficial for us!"
"Then I should thank you for reminding me and for helping me apply for the 500-meter privatization of the road."
The road crew leader smiled and said, "Okay, I accept your thanks. Have you guys agreed yet? When are we going to Dawangzhuang?"
"The mayor hasn't replied yet. I'm not in a hurry. I have too much on my hands."
"Okay then! Call me when the time comes. I'll be heading back first."
"Yes! Mom, please help send the monitor off."
"Okay!"
When the squad leader walked to the gate, he met the town mayor, the county director, and the town director of the supply and marketing cooperative. Well, there was no need to go back.
