Chapter 325: Turn
Translator: Lonelytree
The village chief told them many things, but he also analyzed the prospects and benefits very clearly.
As long as one was not stupid, one would know which choice to make.
The scene was silent.
After a moment, someone asked, “Village chief, are you sure that Xiao Lingyu will still contract the mountains in the future?”
If Xiao Lingyu did mean to do that, the villagers would have a yearly, high passive income. They didn’t even need to do anything. They could sleep at home, and they’d get the money from rent.
When Xiao Lingyu rented Tai Ping field, she promised to increase the rent by 20 percent every three years. She would do the same for the mountain contracts.
Furthermore, after Xiao Lingyu rented the mountain, everyone could still go up the mountain. Xiao Lingyu would not interfere.
The villagers had nothing to lose.
The village chief said with certainty, “Of course. If it weren’t for this interference, Xiao Lingyu would have contracted the mountains already.”
Everyone fell silent again.
However, they had a clear idea of what to do.
Xiao Zhengyang sat in the comer and watched without saying a word. He didn’t care what the villagers would do in the future.
However, he would never let anyone hurt his daughter.
The developers were clearly coming for the Little Cattle King. If worse comes to worst, he’d rather kill Little Light. Then, everything would stop.
Of course, this was the last resort.
Yan Siming hastened. After a few hours, he finally arrived at Taoyuan Village.
But when he arrived at the village, his beautiful brows furrowed, full of doubt. He received the news that the demolition team of the Global Tourism Development Company had already entered the village.
‘When he contacted Liao Guohui, the demolition team was already at Taoyuan Village. However, when he arrived, the village was very quiet. There was not one trace of destruction.
‘What is going on?
Also, he didn’t see a single villager on the road. Where had they all gone?
Yan Siming couldn’t figure it out and drove to the Xiao residence.
However, when he arrived and saw the scene inside, his pupils constricted.
Xiao Lingyu was leaning on the recliner with her eyes closed. She looked like she was resting while Gong Tianhao was sitting in front of the stone table reading a book.
The sunset glow was extremely beautiful with a hint of golden light. When it shone on the two of them, it refracted a faint golden halo. It was gentle and holy.
At that moment, even Yan Siming almost thought that they were a match made in heaven.
Gong Tianhao heard some noises coming from the entrance of the courtyard. He tured his head and saw Yan Siming standing on the threshold in a daze.
His eyes were fixed on Xiao Lingyu, who was resting. He frowned. Then, he smiled and said to Yan Siming, “It’s Chairman Yan! What is Chairman Yan doing here?”
Gong Tianhao had sent his ‘cousins’ to the field with Mother Xiao and Father Xiao because he wanted to be alone with Xiao Lingyu. They were the only two at home.
Ever since Xiao Lingyu was two months pregnant, she kept wanting to sleep. However, people said that the pregnancy habits would lessen after the fourth month. However, Xiao Lingyu’s symptoms never lightened.
She ate and sleep, sleep and ate. She was like a pig!
As for Gong Tianhao, he had been serving this pig every day. When he saw Xiao Lingyu’s increasingly fair and round face, he felt joy.
Yan Siming was stunned at the door for a moment before he walked in generously.
The sound of his footsteps affected Xiao Lingyu. She slowly opened her eyes.
She was surprised when she saw Yan Siming standing beside the chair.
She smiled and asked, “Brother Yan, why are you here?”
Yan Siming noticed that her face had become rounder since he last saw her.
He raised his eyebrows and said directly, “I heard that someone has taken a fancy to Taoyuan Village and wants to develop it into a tourist spot. They came to demolish the village today, so I came to look.” Having said that, he looked around and said with doubt, “But when I entered the village, I found that
the village was very quiet, and I didn’t see any demolition. What’s going on?”
Xiao Lingyu said, “The demolition team was sent back. So nothing happened.”
“They turned back?” Yan Siming was both surprised and not. ‘So Liao Guohui did listen to my advice. He asked his people to return.
“Yes, they were scared off by a few cars,” Xiao Lingyu said.
Yan Siming was stunned and didn’t understand.
He asked, “Cars? What kind of cars?”
At this time, Gong Tianhao said, “Just my bodyguards’ cars. They are worth six million and thirty-six million. I have them display the cars at the village entrance.”
Hearing Gong Tianhao’s reply, the corner of Yan Siming’s mouth twitched. This was an extraordinary scare tactic.
Yan Siming nodded and replied, “Mr. Gong, I’m really impressed! You even thought of using this scare tactic.”
“Is that a compliment from Mr. Yan?” Gong Tianhao took an apple from the table and started peeling it. His skills had increased tremendously. The peel didn’t break off in the middle. The apple was round and even. Sometimes, Gong Tianhao would pick up the peel to admire it.
Yan Siming didn’t care about Gong Tianhao.
He sat directly at the table and picked up the cup to pour himself a cup of tea. He drank it.
The tea of the Xiao family was really delicious!
After drinking a cup of tea, he immediately felt his whole body cool down.
Yan Siming asked in puzzlement, “Lingyu, what kind of tea is this? It always makes me feel refreshed.”
“They are normal herbal tea.” Xiao Lingyu said, “They are made with a special herb from our village. It’s very cooling.
“Farmers like us often work under the hot sun. So, to prevent heatstroke, when we go out to work, we always bring a pot of herbal tea with us.”
Yan Siming grew up in the city. If he didn’t know Xiao Lingyu, he wouldn’t have known these things. He had visited farming villages in the past, but they were all farmhouses that had been specially developed for tourism.
Yan Siming nodded.
At this moment, Xiao Lingyu asked, “Brother Yan, why did you suddenly come here?”
Yan Siming,”…” Well, could he say that he was there to take credit?
But, he didn’t expect Gong Tianhao to solve the problem before he did.
Yan Siming said with a smile, “I heard that someone wanted to develop Taoyuan Village, so I came to see the situation and also to see you. After all, I haven’t seen you for a while.”
His words sounded like he was joking, but at the same time, he sounded extremely serious.
‘When Gong Tianhao heard this, his face immediately turned black.
He said, “Chairman Yan, you must be very free. Why didn’t you accompany the women in City Z but come to the countryside?”
“Mr. Gong, I can say the same for you!” Yan Siming said with a smile, “I heard how the ladies in the capital adore Mr. Gong, but they were all rejected. Therefore, I heard a rumor that Mr. Gong actually bats for the other team.”
Gong Tianhao had slandered his name a few times before, but this time Yan Siming came prepared. He sent someone to the capital to inquire about Gong Tianhao. When he found out about this rumor, he laughed.
When Xiao Lingyu heard this, she burst out laughing…
