Chapter 469: Chapter 469 Valley Bottom Village
Ji Yang truly wanted to gain a comprehensive understanding of the county’s situation this time, and he was looking for a path to development.
Besides Secretary Su Zhiping and driver Gao Changjun, Liu Qiushui also accompanied him.
Liu Qiushui had made a significant contribution to this matter, and after investigation, Wei Daguo confirmed that Liu Qiushui didn’t have major issues. However, as she was indeed Fan Guohai’s wife, she no longer held a public office and had become unemployed now.
Naturally, Liu Qiushui followed Ji Yang.
"What about your situation with Fan Guohai?" Ji Yang asked.
"I got divorced. I never wanted to be with him in the first place; it was always him forcing me."
After the divorce, Liu Qiushui seemed much more relaxed.
"Is Valley Bottom Village where your home is?"
"Yes, don’t underestimate our village; although it’s isolated from the outside world, it’s also a very good place..." Once she started talking about their village, Liu Qiushui had a lot to say.
"How did you go to school?" Ji Yang was genuinely curious about this.
"My brother had gone out to work and, after seeing the outside world, supported my education wholeheartedly. He almost spent all his money on my schooling."
Ji Yang sighed inwardly; Liu Qiushui initially had a promising life, but it turned sour because Fan Guohai fancied her, threatened her using her family, especially after her brother got injured, and she had no choice but to become Fan Guohai’s wife.
"Don’t be fooled by Fan Guohai’s inconspicuous appearance; he has done many bad things, and this time I gathered all the evidence against him!"
"You’ve had your revenge then, feeling better?"
"Suddenly, I don’t know what to do."
"Although you’re only a high school student, why does it feel like you’re rather well-educated?"
"When I have nothing to do, I study. I don’t really want to do anything else."
Looking at Liu Qiushui, Ji Yang asked, "What kind of village is Valley Bottom Village?"
"Our village doesn’t have many people, just a few dozen households scattered around. There’s actually no issue with food; the crops we grow are enough. The only problem is that transportation is inconvenient. It takes a long trek through the mountains to exchange goods, so most people don’t really want to leave the village. Majority of them don’t know what the outside world is like. Only those who enjoy adventure, like my brother, would leave. He followed people to several cities to work, supported me to study after seeing the outside world, but under Fan Guohai’s interference, my education ended after high school."
It seemed like a reminiscence, and Liu Qiushui’s mood was clearly not very good.
To change the topic, Ji Yang asked, "Does your village have any special traits?"
Speaking of this, Liu Qiushui’s mood suddenly improved and she said, "You wouldn’t believe it, we have a Tongtian Grand Canyon that is spectacular. It’s as if it’s a paradise on earth, with water flowing from above, forming several waterfalls. There are caves, old trees, cliffs, and unique rocks. Being there can elevate your spirit."
Ji Yang’s eyes immediately lit up, "Is there really such a place? How do you think it compares to those famous waterfall attractions?"
"It’s not even comparable; those are just small waterfalls. Our place combines so many landscapes. If it were developed, it would definitely surpass those attractions."
At this point, Ji Yang was also curious about the Tongtian Grand Canyon.
Gao Changjun did not say much but simply followed a bit behind.
As Ji Yang walked, examining the surroundings, he thought to himself that if the Tongtian Grand Canyon was really as Liu Qiushui described, it could indeed be developed. When the time came, he would let Liu Qiushui take charge of the project.
After entering Valley Bottom Village, the ground was covered with corn fields, set within this pristine environment. Occasionally, wild animals could be seen running through the bushes.
"Secretary Ji, be careful."
Suddenly, a pheasant appeared next to Ji Yang, with Gao Changjun stepping in front of him.
Ji Yang laughed, "It’s just a pheasant, no need to worry."
Liu Qiushui also laughed, "There are no large wild animals left, only some small ones, no need to be afraid."
That being said, they still occasionally saw some snakes.
Ji Yang wasn’t worried; he felt confident in his own physical abilities, confident he could handle any large animals that might appear. Moreover, before coming here, Chu Zhendong had secretly given Ji Yang a gun.
Indeed, Valley Bottom Village had a river flowing through it, likely larger due to recent rains, rushing toward the distance.
Ji Yang could also see some kids, bare-bottomed, frolicking by the river.
