Chapter 42 Anjia Village Meeting
After breakfast, the villagers came to the osmanthus tree at the entrance of the village, chattering non-stop.
"Hey, this big loudspeaker in our village hasn't been used for some years, right?
The aunt who was speaking was An Chunyan's mother.
"Yeah, he's almost an antique. I wonder what Changsheng is going to say this time?"
A thin old man took a puff of his cigarette, exhaled a puff of smoke, and narrowed his cloudy eyes slightly.
"You don't know."
The fat lady in a floral shirt had a show-off look on her face.
"Yesterday, when it was getting dark, I saw the brothers Guoxing and Guoyao go to the village chief's house. After a while, the village chief sent them out with a smile as bright as a flower. I guess..."
The fat aunt pointed at An Guodong's house with a mysterious expression.
"My God, Guodong's family must be rich. Look at how generous his father-in-law's family is. A few days ago, they invited the brothers to a restaurant in town for dinner. I heard that the table of food and wine cost several thousand yuan. My son's monthly salary is not enough."
There was another sigh from the crowd.
"Who says it's not true? Guodong has become rich, and his two brothers are also living a good life. You haven't seen Li Xia and Chun Feng these two days. They are so rosy-cheeked and walk with a breeze."
"Hey, you don't know, my kid gets along well with Yadong and the others. I heard Qingwan's father said that he wants to take a few kids to Jing City to develop. I heard that Qingwan's father is very capable and half of Jing City belongs to him."
There were bursts of exclamations from the crowd, and everyone had envy in their eyes. Why didn't their family have such good luck? At the beginning, those people disliked Lin Qingwan because she was good-looking except for her face, but she couldn't carry anything or lift anything with her hands. Those who once mocked An Guodong for finding a Buddha to worship at home felt embarrassed.
Just as everyone was discussing heatedly, the village chief An Changsheng came over with Guo Xing and Guo Yao. He waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.
"I'm calling everyone to a meeting today because I have something great to announce. Guodong's father-in-law, in order to express his gratitude to everyone for helping his daughter and son-in-law, has specially contributed money to build a factory in our Anjia Village."
"Moreover, in the future, the factory will give priority to hiring people from our Anjia Village. In the future, everyone will not have to leave their hometown to earn a few hard-earned dollars. Working from home can also take care of the elderly and children at home."
"The factory is being built on that piece of wasteland in the east, and construction will begin in two days. If there are men and women working on the construction site at home, please ask them to come back and work at Guodong's factory."
"Once the factory is built, everyone can apply for suitable positions. But one thing is for sure, I will never tolerate anyone who tries to cheat. We cannot let a bad apple ruin the lives of our Anjia Village."
As soon as the village chief finished speaking, the crowd exploded and started chattering again.
"Guoyao, I want to ask, how is our salary calculated when we work for your eldest brother's father-in-law?"
An Guoyao grinned, his dark face full of confidence.
"Don't worry, the salary is higher than outside. Besides, my uncle Lin has given us brothers full responsibility for the factory. Don't you know what kind of people we are?"
"It's incredible. Guodong's father-in-law is so generous. He handed over a factory to these brothers just like that."
"Guoyao, you've become a big boss now."
"Guoyao, when you become rich, you must help us brothers."
An Guoyao still had a smile on his face: "We brothers have relied on our uncles and brothers for help since we were young, so now that we have the opportunity, we want to repay everyone. However, let's be frank, we don't want those who are sneaky, commit crimes, or idle."
"Alright, alright."
Village chief An Changsheng waved his hand again: "I have explained everything to everyone. Let's go back and discuss and consider it. If there is nothing else, we can all go home."
"Hey hey hey."
At this time, Li Cuicui pulled An Xiaoyan forward, panting, and smiled flatteringly.
"Guoyao, our Yan Zi has attended a technical secondary school. It would be perfect for her to be the secretary for your eldest brother's nephew."
"Hahahahahaha, Li Cuicui, your abacus beads are about to fall on our faces."
The fat lady in the floral dress couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"That's right, Li Cuicui, you have a bad memory. Do you want me to help you recall it?"
An Chunyan's mother was grateful for the thank-you gift from Lin Huaizhi, which helped her daughter a lot, and she was very protective of An Ran's family.
"You really didn't know what matchmaking you arranged for Ranran last month, right? Ranran is a beautiful girl, but you introduced her to Li Jiabao from your mother's family. Not to mention the age difference, Li Jiabao is a notorious sloppy gambler in the surrounding villages. Qingwan kicked you out, and you made a scene at her door. Are you saying anything decent? You have absolutely lost your conscience. Now that she's doing well, you want to take advantage of her. Do you think everyone else is stupid? Qingwan's nephew is like a nobleman, and your wild girl is not worthy of him."
As Chunyan's mother spoke, a look of sarcasm appeared on her face.
"Who said it wasn't true? Don't you know what immoral things you have done? How can you have the nerve to take advantage of others?"
Gu Lan was standing in the crowd holding her son Haohao's hand. When she saw Li Cuicui and her daughter acting like this, she couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Ranran is her son’s savior, and anyone who bullies Ranran is bullying her. Ranran has a gentle personality, but Gu Lan is not someone who can be easily bullied.
Although An Xiaoyan was domineering, she was a girl after all. She blushed when Chunyan's mother told her so, and ran away in shame, pulling Li Cuihua with her.
She just came back from her relative's house yesterday and secretly saw An Ran's cousin. He was exactly the prince charming in her dreams. If An Xiaoyan were to marry, she would marry a man like this, because only a man like this could be worthy of her.
Everyone laughed and mocked, made a few jokes, and then dispersed. An Guoxing and An Guoyao were concerned about this matter and went to An Ran's house to remind her that Li Cuicui's family was shameless and should be avoided from falling into their trap.
......
Lin Huaizhi was extremely depressed. Every time he went out these past two days, he would meet this girl who called herself An Xiaoyan. At this moment, he was looking at the pretentious girl who was blocking his way with a cold and handsome face.
"Brother Lin, why don't you come out for a walk? I'm alone too, so I'll go with you."
An Xiaoyan blushed and stood in front of Lin Huaizhi shyly.
Wow, Brother Lin looks even more handsome when he is seen from up close. What’s more, his family is rich. A handsome and rich man like this is suitable to be An Xiaoyan’s future husband.
Anran looked up at the sky in silence, and said, "Sister, I'm such a big person standing right next to you, is it really okay for you to just turn a blind eye to me?" It's so pitiful that he became blind at such a young age.
Lin Huaizhi knew her intention very well. In Beijing, there were countless girls who approached him under various pretexts. That’s it? There is no such bad stuff.
Seeing her greedy eyes falling on him, Lin Huaizhi couldn't help but get goose bumps all over his body. An Xiaoyan struck a pose that she thought was very beautiful and charming, and her eyes kept winking at Lin Huaizhi.
"Brother Lin, why don't you pay attention to me? Brother Lin, is your home in Beijing? Is your home big and beautiful? When will you take me to your home to play?"
Lin Huaizhi couldn't bear it any longer and looked at An Ran who was watching the fun from the side for help.
An Ran was so amused by what she saw that if circumstances allowed she would have wanted to bring a small stool and a bag of melon seeds. There aren't many good shows like this, and she really doesn't want to miss it. When An Ran received Lin Huaizhi's look asking for help, she readily chose to ignore it.
Seeing that she had been talking for a long time but Lin Huaizhi didn't move, An Xiaoyan changed her mind and pretended to be weak, holding her head, closed her eyes, and spoke in a delicate voice.
"Brother Lin, I feel uncomfortable and dizzy, can you help me up?"
As he spoke, he fell on Lin Huaizhi. She was secretly delighted, imagining that Brother Lin would be the hero who saved the beauty. He would catch her with heartache, then hold her in his arms with pity, and finally look her in the eyes and hug her like a princess. An Xiaoyan was so excited in her fantasy that her whole body went limp.
"Pah."
An Xiaoyan fell to the ground with a thud, but Lin Huaizhi ran several meters away before she fell.
"Brother Lin, why don't you help me up? It hurts so much. Come and help me up. I know that Brother Lin didn't let me fall on purpose. I won't blame you."
An Xiaoyan's originally rough voice was made to sound delicate and coquettish by her. Lin Huaizhi could not help but tremble and ran away as if he was being chased by a dog.
“Hahahahahaha, ga ga ga ga….”
An Ran was watching with great interest, and she burst into laughter when she saw Lin Huaizhi running away.
"What are you laughing at, you bitch?"
An Xiaoyan was so angry and embarrassed that she couldn't help but curse at An Ran when she saw him laughing at her.
"I laugh at ridiculous people." An Ran stopped laughing, with disdain in her cold peach blossom eyes: "An Xiaoyan, my cousin is not someone you can covet."
