Actually, Hong Dali was only saying it for fun. Naturally, he didn’t expect to be able to buy over the village by asking the village chief. His original intention was to invest in the village to do some maintenance on the historical relics and the surrounding forest and such to protect them. Being nature’s best friend, he was very concerned with protecting the environment.
However, the question was that the village chief took his question seriously because he knew that Hong Dali was very rich…
Village chief: “Young… Young Master Dali, are you really intending on buying our village? If it’s for real, as long as your conditions are good enough and the city approves, it’s not impossible for the villagers to move away…”
Hearing the village chief’s words, Tang Muxin couldn’t help but felt like kicking him ferociously—was he really intending to sell the village!?
“Huh!?” Upon hearing the village chief’s words, it was Hong Dali’s turn to be surprised. “It’s really possible?”
“It should be possible.” The village chief sighed. “To be honest, our Water Spirit Village is really poor. Look at this place, aside from the beautiful environment and the quite well-protected infrastructures, we don’t have anything else. We are surrounded by mountains and forest, so we can’t even farm the land. Now, the men have all left to find work, the women can only depend on gathering some mushrooms from the mountains to dry them up and sell in the city once a month for some money. Our life is really hard here. If you can really provide us with some better conditions, it’s indeed possible for us to move away.”
This was really a God of Fortune. The village chief couldn’t even imagine how rich Hong Dali was, but he knew that the figures were something he would never even dare to imagine. Therefore, since Hong Dali was here now, they might really be able to make a deal!
“Oh, that’s true.” Hong Dali looked again at the stone house. “Village chief, how about you bring me around? I see that the environment here is really quite good, there definitely must be some famous scenic spots, right? Even if there aren’t any scenic spots, historical relics are fine too.”
“Yes, there are. I wouldn’t dare to say that there are famous scenic spots, but we do have historical relics here.” The village chief hurriedly replied, “The houses in this village all have hundreds of years of history. They were all built with high-quality big stones, and the tiles on for the rooftops were all made by ourselves. They are all very durable.”
“That’s good, that’s good.” Hong Dali instantly got up. “Then, let’s take a walk.”
The village chief led Hong Dali around the village, introducing him to the scenic spots and historical relics in the village. Hong Dali was quite satisfied with what he saw. Even Tang Muxin also felt that the village was in reality quite good too, and the historical relics were all quite interesting.
Unexpectedly, as they were walking around, the cute Huang Yiqi and Luo Yu suddenly came running up to them. Once they saw Hong Dali, they pulled his sleeve and said, “Big Bro Dali, when we went to the brick kiln to find food, there were a lot of people there saying that they want to tear down the brick kiln. We don’t dare to go there anymore.” When they said this, their expressions looked really pitiful, as if they wouldn’t be able to find food anymore if the brick kiln was torn down.
“Hm? Who’s planning to tear down the brick kiln? Forcefully tear it down?” Hong Dali felt strange and looked at the village chief. “What situation is this?”
“Is it the big brick kiln at the east side?” The village chief asked Huang Yiqi, “Is it the one with ‘brick kiln chamber’ written on it?”
“I think so.” Huang Yiqi nodded. “I can recognize the character for brick written on it.” Luo Yu was timid and didn’t dare to speak, but she frantically nodded.
This time, the village chief understood. “Young Master Dali, it’s like this. There’s a company that is planning to build a paper making factory there, and the city has already sold the land to them. They are here to tear down the brick kiln to build the factory.” Speaking up to this point, the village chief sighed and shook his head. “It’s a pity for the brick kiln that has 600 plus years of history, sigh…”
What the heck, forcefully tearing it down to build a paper making factory?
It wasn’t really an issue, but the problem was that Hong Dali really liked this village and was really preparing to buy it over. But if there was a paper making factory beside such an ancient looking village, would the environment be still as good? He couldn’t possibly buy a village that was heavily polluted, right? How was he supposed to come here for vacations if that happened!?
Hong Dali directly summoned his lackeys. “Lackeys, let’s go! How dare they try to forcefully tear down properties on my territory. I’m going to tear them apart!”
The lackeys all hailed, “Young Master is formidable!”
The group of them instantly rushed to the village’s east.
The village chief instantly got anxious. He hurriedly ran alongside Hong Dali and tried to persuade him. “Young Master Dali, you mustn’t do this. Those people are large in numbers, and their backing is also very strong. Furthermore, the land already belongs to them, we can’t object!”
“Ah, so what?” Hong Dali ignored him and continued walking forward. As he walked, he said, “How can I let them do as they wish on my territory? Let’s go. At most, I shall buy more…”
Very quickly, they reached their destination. At the moment, Mu Yuxi, Catherine, and the rest were protecting the children to prevent them from coming to any harm. The report-cum-photographer Tang Anqi was quite hot-tempered, pulling Shangguan Susu along with her and arguing with those group of people—alright, that’s if you don’t consider the brick that Tang Anqi was holding in her hand…
When they got near, Hong Dali heard the other group of people hooting, “Don’t take our patience for granted. Do you really think we don’t dare to hit you? Today, we are going to tear down this brick kiln no matter what! I have already shown you enough respect by not going rough on you, don’t take it for granted! Do you know who my boss is? We belong to the Qian Family!”
Ha, they actually have people backing them up!
Hong Dali was, instead, not so anxious now. As he stood beside Tang Anqi and looked at this group of people, he grinned and asked Ling Xiaoyi, “Sister Xiaoyi, what does this Qian Family do?”
“I’m not sure.” Ling Xiaoyi shook her head and said, “I’m not sure which Qian Family it is.”
“I have heard of you. You’re Hong Dali, right?” At this time, a person walked out from that group of people. He seemed to be their leader. “I’m not afraid to tell you, my Young Master is called Qian Youjin. He is good friends with Young Master Ko Gohon!”
What he was saying was that his backing was stronger than the Hong Family, so Hong Dali and his group better stand aside.
“So that’s the case, that makes things simple.” If it was someone else, Hong Dali might be too lazy to fight with them. But since they were related to Ko Gohon, things were much simpler. “Beat down, knock all of them down!”
Following his order, the nine lackeys all raised their elbows. Mechanical Zz zz sounds sounded, and the exoskeleton armors were suited up—then, those people suffered…
The fight was really bloody, exciting, and spectacular—after half a minute, the enemies were all lying on the ground. Hong Dali laughed sinisterly and said, “Actually, it would be much better if you didn’t mention Ko Gohon…”
By this time, the leader knew that they had come up against someone hard to handle. The Qian Family was quite influential in Heavenly State, comparable to the Hong Family. However, it was obvious that this prodigal Hong Dali didn’t consider that at all. There’s a saying that the fierce is afraid of the fearless, the fearless is afraid of those who want to die. The leader immediately found an excuse. “Hong Dali, I am telling you, this place has already been bought over by Young Master Qian. We have the contract and the stamp on it, you are obstructing official business now, you know that!?”
“I know that.” Hong Dali’s expression was very tranquil. Lastly, he ordered, “Beat him and drag him out.”
Then, his group of lackeys dragged the leader out…
The village chief wanted to cry. “Young Master Dali, you beat them away now, but the village…”
“What’s wrong with the village? Now that the paper making factory is gone, the environment is much better now.” Hong Dali felt strange and asked, “But judging from your expression, you don’t seem very happy? Why is that so?”
“Sigh, I shall be honest with you.” The village chief squatted down and drew circles on the ground. “Our village is very poor and transportation is not convenient. That’s why the historical relics are so well protected. But for the same reason, it’s hard for us to earn money. If they open a paper making factory here, although we know that there will be pollution, but they have promised to build a road for us…”
“You agreed just because of this?” Hong Dali opened his eyes wide. “For such a cheap reason?”
“What else could it be?” The village chief was helpless. “You have seen what it’s like here, we are practically surrounded by mountains on all four sides. Even the small road present now was paved on swamps. Young Master Qian had his eyes on the forest here, and therefore, planned to build a paper making factory to save the transportation cost for lumber. After making the papers, they will have to transport it out, right? Therefore, they will definitely have to build a road…”
“Oh, that’s simple.” Hong Dali directly decided. “Then, I shall just build a road for you guys too, doesn’t that settle it? I thought it was something more difficult!”
“Really!?” The village chief was immediately invigorated upon hearing this. This Young Master Dali was really generous. When he came, he gave all the villagers a thousand yuan each. Now that he said that he would build a road for the village, it would definitely be better than a road paved by Young Master Qian!
“Then, I shall thank you, Young Master Dali, on behalf of all of the villagers!” This time, the village chief was so grateful that he almost cried.
“Oh, please call me the kind and charitable big prodigal Hong.” Hong Dali laughed proudly and snapped his fingers. “Let’s go, let’s go to the city and take a look. I shall buy more of the land here, including the mountains nearby!”
The group of them started walking towards the helicopters.
Hearing that Hong Dali was planning to buy over the entire village, the villagers were all shocked. The entire thousand-plus villagers came out to send Hong Dali off. The village chief meticulously instructed him, “Young Master Dali, please be careful. I heard that the Qian Family is quite influential, don’t be bullied by them…”
“Ah, I know. Village chief, just wait for my good news.” Hong Dali grinned and acknowledged.
On the helicopter, Tang Muxin softly asked, “Dali, are you really planning to buy over this entire place? Could it be that you have some new idea!?”
This lass instinctively felt that Hong Dali had some good idea again…
“None.” Unexpectedly, Hong Dali’s reply was out of her expectations. “Look, the things that I did previously were all for the purpose of squandering. However, I earned money instead, which caused me to be quite disturbed—why is it so hard to be a prodigal? Therefore, this time, I really just want to squander!”
God, this is the first time I have heard something like this!
Tang Muxin frantically said, “Buy this piece of land is so big, how much would it cost!”
“That doesn’t matter.” Hong Dali expressed that this was even better. “It’s more satisfying when the land is big. I like the environment here. At the least, we can come here to avoid the summer weather. Look at all those trees, if there are tigers, wild bears or such in there, it will be fun to ride on them!”
