Chapter 286 - 285: The Hope of the Village (4 updates)
After Xu Niannian left, the news about her plans to build a factory in the village spread throughout Qingshan Village in no time.
Surely the village head and Xu Aiguo wouldn’t be the ones to spread the news, and although there was no need for secrecy regarding the matter, neither of them were that gossipy.
The source of the news turned out to be the families who signed the contract and sold their land to Xu Niannian.
"What? Xu Niannian is going to build a factory right here in the village? Are you serious? Is it the cripple Dawei’s girl we’re talking about?"
"Is there a fake one? They actually bought my family’s land, plus they promised once the factory’s built, at least three people from my family can work there. They’ll pay each of us at least 20 yuan a month!" the auntie said, her face brimming with pride.
The villagers were envious of those who could work in the factory—it was practically a secure job.
It just happened that no one had ever built a factory in the village before, and Xu Niannian’s family was the first to undertake such a task.
From now on, their family would be among those earning a salary too. The proud auntie held her chin up a bit higher as she spoke.
Seeing how smug the auntie looked, others couldn’t help but feel sour.
"It’s just too much luck for Yang Cuihua and Xu Dawei, giving birth to such a charming girl. She’s the only beauty for miles and even got married into a big official’s family in the county. Tsk tsk tsk, really, comparing people can make you die of jealousy. If only I could have had such a daughter, I’d be enjoying life too."
