Chapter 487: The Whereabouts of the Pendant: Xu Shan (38)



When electricity becomes available, she will install an electric grid around the island.

Then press Monitor.

She just doesn't believe it, she can't handle it.

Ten years? She will have to stay here for at least ten years, so she must be strong.

Xu Shan then went to the city and told her elder sister that most of the chickens had recently gone to roost, so there were not many chickens left and they would have to wait for a while before shipping them out.

And she was out of fruit.

So during this period, she doesn't plan to do business, and will come back to inform them when the goods are available.

After returning from the city, Xu Shan went directly to the village brigade to find the village chief.

"Village chief, I've been on the island for three or four years now, and I can't live without electricity. I want to find someone to help me connect the power lines. Do you think it's okay? I'll pay for the wiring myself."

"Xiao Xu, you're here just in time. I was looking for you for something."

"What's the matter, Village Chief?"

"It was said last year that a port would be built here. A document might be issued this year. If the port is built, Turtle Island will also be expropriated. Someone in charge came to inquire about the surrounding situation in the past few days."

"Uncle Village Chief, how could it be so fast? I just paid the money last year. You can't just tell me to move. The fruit trees on the mountain have only been planted for a year. I've invested a lot of manpower and energy, but there's no results yet. Isn't it all in vain? If that's the case, it's a huge loss."

"Xiao Xu, I understand your difficulties, but the village has its own difficulties too. The government expropriated our land, and there's nothing we can do about it. Anyway, we're still negotiating. If we really ask you to move, it won't be this year. You can stay here for a year or two, so don't worry. Take advantage of these two years to earn some money and plan ahead. The saplings are still young, so they should be easy to transplant and survive. We'll try to minimize the losses."

"But I don't want to leave Turtle Island. I've been there for four or five years and have developed feelings for it. If I relocate, I'll have to find another place. I don't know when I'll find a place that satisfies me like this again."

"Take your time. I have quite a few places too. I'll introduce them to you. Don't worry. The village needs to develop and it won't stop just because of you, a tenant. And don't worry about the rent. When the time comes, we'll refund you whatever's left. We won't shirk the penalty for breach of contract.

I'm telling you all this today so that you can have some peace of mind. If you really have to move, it won't be so hasty. I'm telling you about this in advance so that no one in the village knows about it yet.

However, regarding the port issue, our place may not be chosen. Several locations have been selected, and it mainly depends on which one is more convenient. It is still in the investigation stage.

But as for the electrical problem you mentioned, if we want to do it, it will probably cost a lot of money. At least a large pillar will be needed to reinforce the bridge from the shore to the island.

The public fee for the big pillar is not low, at least 20,000 yuan."

"Oh, it's so expensive." Just one big pillar costs so much, plus other things, it would cost her at least 50,000 yuan to lay the line.

Moreover, after spending the money, there is no guarantee that it will be used for a long time. She might have to move away one day.

Xu Shan's eyes were full of loss, and she didn't know what to do.

Is she going to find a place to start over?

The strong fortress that Xu Shan had just built last night collapsed today.

She stood in the center, confused and unaware of herself.

After two days of depression, I finally felt a little more energetic.

Life is not that smooth, you will always encounter various problems, and you should face them bravely.

The village chief also said that several places have been selected and are currently under investigation, so this place may not be chosen.

Xu Shan has been writing and drawing in her notebook in the house these days.

She couldn't just sit there and wait for death.

I ran around to ask if there was a suitable place for breeding.

At the same time, I also bought a lot of wire mesh in the market, and people came to help me install it.

Xu Shan spent more than 10,000 yuan to surround the island with thorny wire.

It took more than twenty days to complete this project.

Perhaps because there are people on the island these days, the nights are much calmer.

Xu Shan also discovered that there must be someone on the island.

She still wants to build a house.

You can build a few simple makeshift houses, or renovate the previously almost uninhabitable place and hire a few people.

Help pick eggs and oranges every day.

Although she didn't know how long she could live here, Xu Shan was still prepared to do these things.

She found two brothers who had built houses before and asked them to see how much it would cost to build two houses.

"Those two houses in front aren't worth repairing at all. But there are simple houses out there now. Simple houses can be lived in. If they're well built, they'll be much more comfortable than the house you live in now."

"Okay, big brother, help me build three simple houses. Keep it around 2,000 yuan. Put two in the back where the chickens and ducks are. And put one in the middle."

"Okay, I'll make some arrangements when I get back and give you a budget."

Xu Shan built three simple houses and started recruiting people in the village.

Every day I help pick up eggs and clean up chicken and duck manure.

There are also two who are specifically responsible for fruit trees.

"Sister Xu, what kind of person are you looking for? Look at me, can I do it? I don't have to stay over there at night. I can go over there early every morning to work for you, and it saves you the trouble of building a house."

"Auntie, I'm looking for someone who can live on the island and help keep an eye on it."

"Oh, it's hard to find people living on the island. They're all villagers, and most of them have their own homes. Not many people want to live there. Nowadays, every household has electricity and a TV, but the island has nothing. It must be boring to death."

"But I pay a high salary, 800 yuan a month, which is a lot more than those part-time workers make."

Xu Shan feels that with such an attractive salary, most people would still be willing to go.

However, the news has just been released, and many people are still discussing it with their families.

She believed that there would be someone willing to come.

Xu Shan went up the mountain these two days to check on the fruits on the trees.

It's almost ready to be picked.

These days, while the brother who was repairing the house was building a simple house, he was picking oranges in the mountains with a plastic bucket.

She planned to pick them all and push them straight to the market.

The fruits on the mountain cannot be planted in space because they are cultivated in space. The fruits grown in space will be sweet.

The designed boxes have already been stacked in the space.

Xu Shan packed them one by one, wrapping each fruit with designed oil paper.

It does look very high-end, with a box full of ten kilograms, all neatly arranged.

The fruit is relatively large and has plenty of water.

There are almost no seasonal fruits at this time of year, so if oranges were to enter the market, they would surely fetch a good price.
