Chapter 336: Chapter 336 How exactly did they get rich?

After the village chief answered the phone.

Jack Munday eagerly asked, "Chief, I saw those two people who have visited our village before and wanted to contract our mountain land have come again, and they brought a big boss with them. Do you know about this?"

Upon hearing this news, the village chief was excited, "They haven’t contacted us for so long, the contract for the land is probably off. I will call later to ask about the school construction in the village."

When Jack Munday heard about the school, he pursed his lips, hung up the phone, as his son would be going to school in the town in the future.

Meanwhile, Joseph Wilson was explaining the areas of Zhouxiang Town and its villages to James Thompson and Julia Land.

"From the town to the village, almost all roads wind around the mountain, and many places cannot be accessed by four-wheel vehicles. These are the villages we have already visited, we haven’t looked into the communities in Zhouxiang Town yet."

Joseph Wilson handed over a document to James Thompson.

James Thompson received the document and handed it to Julia Land.

At that moment, Joseph Wilson’s phone rang.

He was initially anxious to turn off the call, but Julia Land glanced up at him and said, "It’s okay, you can take the call."

After she said that, she lowered her head and continued to read the document.

Joseph Wilson didn’t know the relationship between Julia Land and James Thompson, but seeing the boss’s attitude towards Julia, he didn’t worry about the boss blaming him, so he answered the call.

The caller ID showed it was Jack Munday from Basket Village.

"Hello, Chief Munday, what’s up?" Joseph Wilson asked.

Chief Munday called to inquire about the school.

He thickened his face for the sake of the children, "Mr. Wilson, I just wanted to ask if there had been any progress regarding the consideration to help build an elementary school in our Basket Village that you mentioned earlier."

Joseph Wilson smiled, "I will ask about the progress, and I guess soon someone will visit the village to examine the situation. Don’t worry, Chief,"

Chief Munday expressed his thanks again, he did not inquire about contracting the mountain land, but about the school, showing he is a good village chief.

After hanging up the phone, Joseph Wilson turned to James Thompson and Julia Land and explained, "That was Chief Munday from Basket Village just now, asking about the school establishment I previously mentioned. I have already written a report and submitted it to the company’s relevant departments for assessment."

Julia Land directly turned to the information about Basket Village.

She initially did not plan to visit Basket Village first but rather start from places they had not searched yet.

However, upon hearing it was about building a school for the children, she thought for a moment, "Let’s visit Basket Village tomorrow."

James Thompson, "Hmm, as you say."

Joseph Wilson was surprised internally, not expecting the boss to be so gentle with this woman; could she possibly be the boss’s wife?

They finished their report and left the room.

"I want to go out for a walk." Julia Land put down the document, her eyes showing a hint of fatigue.

James Thompson nodded, naturally accompanying Julia Land out.

They currently live in a fairly new building, walking downstairs.

Probably because it is office hours now, there are very few people encountered,

At this moment, from a window upstairs.

Dale Land was kneeling on a chair, peering down from the window.

When she saw the figures of her mom and dad, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. Just as she was about to shout, her ear was suddenly pinched by Hazel Fields.

"Didn’t you hear me telling you to go wash the vegetables?" Hazel Fields’ voice was stern, and the force on her hand involuntarily increased.

Dale Land endured the pain on her ear and nodded.

Downstairs, Julia Land looked up at the tall building and then withdrew her gaze.

The next day, Julia Land and her group went to Basket Village.

Joseph Wilson and his brother were in charge of leading the way.

They entered the village and went straight to the village chief’s house.

Under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village chief’s house, a few women were gathered and chatting loudly.

Julia Land and her group could hear what they were discussing even before they approached.

"How on earth did Jack Munday become rich? He even bought a house in the town, it’s strange, the other day Jack Munday and Hazel Fields came back for a wedding feast, Hazel Fields looked so snooty it was awful," one of the women mentioned with puzzlement.

"I’m also wondering, how could those two lazybones have the money? Couldn’t they have done something shady?" another woman chimed in, her voice carrying a tinge of sarcasm.

"Didn’t you see, Isabella Fields, oh, no, I mean Hazel Fields, she was quite pleased with herself about changing her name correctly, Hazel Fields, Hazel Fields, it’s like having a lot of money to spend," another woman said enviously, "Should I also change my name?"

Just then, a woman who didn’t get along well with Hazel Fields suddenly spoke in a sarcastic tone, "Could it be that the money was given by that little girl’s family? I never believed that Jack Munday and his wife would be so kind-hearted to pick someone up and raise her, they must have gained some benefits to bring that little girl home."

"Who would be so kind-hearted to take home a little girl with a disfigured face?"

The other women, hearing this, felt it made a lot of sense.

Julia Land gripped James Thompson’s hand tightly, her eyes filled with anticipation, while James hinted Joseph Wilson to ask.

Joseph Wilson felt a sudden jolt in his heart, realizing there was this incident.

He approached and asked with a smile, "Ladies, what’s this about the disfigured little girl? I came here with a boss who is into charity, maybe he can help the little girl."

They had seen Joseph Wilson before, and he had even brought gifts for the village children.

"Boss, why are you here? Are you planning to lease the mountain land?"

Only then did they notice Julia Land and her companions, and the women immediately toned down their boisterous voices.

Joseph Wilson chuckled, "Aunties, tell me about the disfigured little girl? Maybe I can help raise money for the child’s cosmetic surgery."

One of the women, who looked slightly older, began to speak, "If you can really help, that would be great. That little girl was picked up by Jack Munday and his wife a few months ago from our village, her entire face was wrapped in gauze, it seemed like she suffered burn injuries."

Julia Land almost couldn’t hold back from asking herself, but to avoid alerting them, she restrained herself.

James Thompson put an arm around Julia Land’s shoulders,his palm gently soothing her.

Joseph Wilson asked, "About how old is the little girl?"

The woman guessed, "Probably around four or five years old."

Joseph Wilson cursed himself internally, realizing they might have made a mistake.

He took a deep breath and continued to ask, "Where do Jack Munday and his family live? I will go and have a chat with him later."

Another woman said, "Their family has moved to the town, we don’t know the exact address, but you can ask the village chief, or directly call Jack Munday."

Joseph Wilson nodded, "Thank you for the information, I’ll contact Jack Munday when I’m free."

Although Julia Land and James Thompson were nervous inside, they still proceeded to enter the village chief’s house first.

The village chief warmly welcomed them.

Joseph Wilson first inquired about the incident of Jack Munday picking up the little girl, and also asked where Jack Munday lived.

"I don’t know where his new house is, I’ll make a call to ask him for you," the village chief originally wanted to call Jack Munday for the address but was stopped by Joseph Wilson.

Joseph Wilson said with a smile, "Chief, I’ll contact Jack Munday directly later, could you give me his mobile number first?"
