Chapter 256 - 256 256

256: 256 256: 256 It seemed he had waited another ten minutes or so when people began arriving one after another.

There weren’t many villages near Liuhe Village.

Including Liuhe Village, there were only four villages.

Once everyone had arrived, Wu Kexin led them into the meeting room.

The discussion about opening a road then began.

As for organizing villagers to build the road, the headmen of the four villages each had their own opinion.

The headman of Ma Village, just as before, suggested that it would be better to follow the township’s arrangements.

The other village chiefs each expressed their views as well.

After an intense discussion, no one was able to persuade the others.

Seeing that the four village chiefs couldn’t convince each other, Chen Yang stood up.

“Chiefs, it might be a bit inappropriate for me to speak in this setting, but I feel you could listen to a word from me.”

Chen Yang said respectfully as he rose to his feet.

Once Chen Yang stood up, everyone’s eyes were focused on him.

The grapevine in the neighboring villages was very efficient, and the recent events involving Chen Yang were no small matter.

Whether it was his conflict with “Heipi” or the battles of wits with the Fu Deyou brothers.

Therefore, no one in the room dared to underestimate Chen Yang.

Seeing that Chen Yang was about to speak, all the village chiefs looked at him seriously.

“Chen Yang, just speak your mind, you’re a member of Liuhe Village too, it’s alright to share your thoughts,”

Headman Ma said.

The other two village chiefs also nodded, indicating their willingness to listen to Chen Yang.

It was then that Chen Yang began, “Chiefs, continuing this argument won’t yield any results, we won’t be able to convince each other.”

“Given that, why don’t we directly call the township and share our idea of opening the road ourselves, letting the township make the final decision?”

Chen Yang suggested a solution.

Headman Ma was firmly opposed to opening the road themselves.

Hearing Chen Yang’s proposal, he agreed without a second thought.

“That’s a good idea, we’re not getting anywhere with all this arguing, the problem has to be solved in the end.”

“Whether we wait for the township to free up resources or we start building the road ourselves, let the township decide!

So, I agree,”

Once Headman Ma nodded, naturally, the others had no objections.

“Alright, since everyone wants the township to decide, I’ll call the township head in front of all of you and ask for their opinion,”

Wu Kexin also stood up, took out her phone, and called the township head.

It didn’t take long for the township head to answer the call, and Wu Kexin promptly turned on the speakerphone.

She then clearly explained the situation of the meeting to the township head.

After listening, the township head fell silent for over half a minute.

“The town’s situation isn’t looking good either.

If your villages could unite to open the road yourselves, it would be ideal.

It would ease the town’s burden and also be convenient for you,”

the township head said.

The meaning behind the township head’s words was clear: he approved of the villages joining forces to open the road together.

Wu Kexin was pleased for a moment and after a few more words with the township head, she hung up the phone.

“Chiefs, you’ve seen the township head’s stance—the support for us to organize and open the road ourselves,”

Wu Kexin said.

The other three village chiefs looked at each other and then nodded in unison.

“Village Chief Wu, since the township head supports us, we naturally have nothing else to say.

Leave everything to your arrangement; tell us what to do next,”

The village chiefs were straightforward people; once they had the township’s approval, they had no reservations.

They promptly expressed their willingness to open the road.

Seeing they had settled matters with all the village chiefs, Chen Yang and Wu Kexin couldn’t help but feel joy.

“Fellow village chiefs, the idea to build the road wasn’t mine, it was Chen Yang who proposed it.”

“So regarding how to implement it specifically, let Chen Yang explain.”

Wu Kexin smiled, sat down, and handed the speaking right over to Chen Yang.

Upon hearing Wu Kexin’s words, everyone’s gaze returned to Chen Yang.

“Well then, Chen Yang, tell us what we should do next.”

Village Chief Ma said with a smile.

“Okay.”

Since everyone was letting him speak, Chen Yang didn’t hold back.

He laid out his thoughts and arrangements in full.

“This is what I think, now that everyone has made a decision, let’s not delay.

We’ll inform all the villagers of the decision tonight, and then get to work first thing tomorrow morning!”

“The able-bodied young adults will be united in carrying soil and building the road, while the more frail aunties and such will all stay home to cook and bring water.”

“During this period, I, Chen Yang, will cover all the food expenses in full.”

…

Chen Yang said so generously.

After hearing Chen Yang’s words, Village Chief Ma and the others nodded repeatedly.

“Alright, then let’s do it Chen Yang’s way!

We’ll start work tomorrow and open the road as soon as possible!”

After everyone unanimously agreed, the meeting was adjourned.

Everyone went back to their own villages to spread the word and do the ideological work.

After Chen Yang and Wu Kexin saw off the village chiefs, they quickly locked up the village office’s door and returned to the medical clinic.

As soon as they arrived back at the clinic, Yang Ruoxi and Li Han crowded around them.

“How did it go, how did it go?

How did the discussion go?

Have you decided when to start work?”

Yang Ruoxi asked excitedly.

Chen Yang smiled and glanced at her, “We’ve decided.

We’ll start first thing tomorrow morning, so we need to rest early tonight.”

“Starting work tomorrow?

Hooray!”

Yang Ruoxi, affected by the day’s atmosphere, wished she could start working right then and there.

Looking at her excited face, Chen Yang couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

“You need to eat well and rest up before the hard work!

Eat more tonight.”

Chen Yang said with a smile, and then immediately dove into the kitchen to start on dinner.

While they were at the meeting, Yang Ruoxi and Li Han had already cooked the rice and prepared the vegetables at home.

So when Chen Yang got home, all he needed to do was quickly stir-fry everything.

Soon, Chen Yang emerged from the kitchen with several fragrant dishes.

“Dinner’s ready.”

Chen Yang shouted to the other room.

Then the three women came out from the outer room and sat down at the table to start eating right away.

After working in the fields all afternoon, everyone was starving.

Once they sat down, they dug in heartily without minding their manners.

After the feast, Chen Yang was promptly chased out of their bedroom…

Chen Yang made a sour face, “Why?

Wasn’t it nice when all four of us slept together yesterday?”

All three women gave him a look.

“Tch, yesterday was because of the thunderstorm!

That’s why we let you sleep with us.

There’s no storm tonight, so you’d better sleep alone!”

Yang Ruoxi stuck her tongue out at Chen Yang, then with a smack, closed the bedroom door, leaving no room for Chen Yang to negotiate.

“Is this what they call ‘killing the donkey once the grinding is done’?”

Chen Yang said somewhat helplessly.

But there was nothing he could do, so he had to go back to his own small room to sleep.
