But Wang Tianxiao didn't care about people like him, and in his plan, he didn't intend to put such people in a stumbling block.
The existence of such a guy is like adding a little chili to his noodles; it's fine without it, but adding it makes the taste much better.
"Everyone, please calm down. Let's take it one step at a time. If you don't want to argue, then please stop arguing. Hey, didn't you hear me? Do you even want to go home for dinner?"
Wang Dabao talked for a long time, but everyone was still talking. He got so angry that he raised his voice, almost shouting, and then everyone gradually quieted down.
"Da Bao, what do you suggest we do? You can see our actual situation better than we can. You know better than anyone else what kind of occasion everyone is going through. Our pockets are emptier than our faces. What are we supposed to do?"
This time, it was an old man from the Wang family who spoke up, and he was of a fairly high generation.
Wang Dabao was noticeably more polite, quickly bowing and smiling apologetically: "Third Uncle, don't worry, I'll tell you the solution right away. If there really wasn't a solution, and I was just putting up a problem, I wouldn't have gathered everyone together to discuss it."
After comforting the old man, Wang Dabao straightened up, looked around the room, and finally fixed his gaze on Wang Tianxiao.
"Before I came here today, I knew that many of our families are not well-off, and it's really not easy for them to come up with this money all at once. So I came up with a solution for everyone. We'll ask someone to temporarily pay the electricity installation fee for those who can't afford it, so that the main line can be laid in. This way, those who don't want to use it can reserve a spot for later and not have it installed. If they want it installed later, they can repay the person who paid the fee..."
"Is there really anyone willing to pay out of pocket?"
"Who can come up with that much money? Even if half of the people have to pay, it would still be five thousand yuan."
"Why would they advance us money? Who knows what they're up to? These days, people can be ruthless. They might be doing something shady behind our backs."
"..."
Wang Dabao's words also caused a great stir.
Everyone had their own ideas, and when a thousand or two people were mobilized, it was truly a bustling and noisy scene.
It took Wang Dabao a lot of effort to quiet everyone down.
“I know everyone is guessing who would be willing to do this. Actually, you all basically know this person…” Wang Dabao waved to Wang Tianxiao, “Tianxiao, come up here for a moment.”
As soon as Wang Dabao spoke, everyone gasped. Because there were so many people and the gasps were so synchronized, they created a unique sound.
Zhang Yufeng was putting in the shoe insole when she heard this. Suddenly, her hands trembled, and she subconsciously looked at her son beside her, her eyes filled with shock and surprise.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Wang Tianxiao smiled at his mother and turned to walk towards the front of the stage.
As he passed by, people instinctively made way for him, and he would smile and thank them for doing so.
As he walked to the front of the stage, he turned to face the villagers in the team, including people from different ethnic groups, people from the same ethnic group, and several of his brothers.
Wang Tianren and Wang Tianyi arrived at the venue before him and his mother, and were in another location with several cousins. Since Wang Tianxiao was there, they didn't come over to bother him.
The team members knew that Wang Tianxiao had some ability, but they didn't expect him to be this capable. He could actually lend several thousand yuan in one go. He must be incredibly rich.
"Everyone guessed it, the person who was willing to pay out of his own pocket to cover the expenses for everyone is none other than our brother Tianxiao. Next, let's invite Brother Tianxiao to say a few words to everyone."
Wang Tianxiao nodded, smiled calmly at the villagers, and slowly began to speak: "Fellow villagers, I am Wang Tianxiao. Many of you here probably know me, so I won't go into too much detail about introducing myself. If you don't know me, raise your hand or ask around. Anyway, I'm not an outsider; I'm a true-blue, native of Wangjia Village."
"What the captain said earlier is correct. I am indeed willing to advance fifty yuan for those who don't have the money to pay for the electricity connection right now. Please rest assured, I can make that promise because I have the ability to do so. However..."
He exchanged a glance with Wang Dabao, his expression slightly tightening. "However, my advance payment isn't without conditions. Everyone should understand that; there's no such thing as a free lunch. I'm not making this upfront for nothing..."
"In the end, they just dug a pit for us to fall into, while portraying themselves as so noble, as if they were our saviors."
Because no one could figure out what Wang Tianxiao was going to say, everyone remained quiet. Only Cao Yuan, due to their vested interests, was the least willing to let Wang Tianxiao successfully advance the funds, so he spoke up again in a sarcastic tone.
His voice sounded extremely harsh in the quiet environment.
"Cao Yuan, what nonsense are you spouting? Can't you just shut up for once? You've got nothing left to say today."
Wang Dabao couldn't help but rebuke him.
Cao Yuan sneered, revealing a disdainful expression, but he did not continue shouting and remained silent for the time being.
Wang Tianxiao was unconcerned about Cao Yuan's provocative behavior.
He didn't even look over there, but deliberately focused his gaze on the people in the clan, especially the people he was closest to, and said sincerely with a smile, "Actually, my request is very simple. If I pay the money in advance, and everyone needs electricity within three years, then you just need to pay me back the money I paid. If it's after three years, then you need to pay me an extra fifty yuan for each year that passes."
As soon as he said this, someone below immediately shouted, "Why? Uncle Tianxiao, didn't you cover the costs for everyone? Why are you asking everyone to pay again? And why should we have to pay more after three years?"
