Chapter 427 Pretending to be Mysterious
Village Chief Sun’s broadcast through the loudspeaker had the same effect as they had anticipated - not good.
The success of the vegetable greenhouses in Qin Family Village was based on the villagers’ trust in Lin Chuxia, as well as the fact that the entire investment for the greenhouse was shouldered by Lin Chuxia.
Village Chief Sun had been broadcasting for half an hour, yet not a single person was willing to plant, and there were even a few who, taking advantage of their age and seniority, tried to persuade him to plant other types of fruit trees instead.
"I know these saplings are all something your third son brought back. It’s good for young people to have drive, but as elders, we must also keep a lookout for the kids, we can’t let them run wild."
"Exactly Qiangzi, I heard your eldest and second sons made some money from chicken farming last year, it wouldn’t be that the third son is using the money they earned to buy these saplings, right? If they end up losing money, won’t that cause conflict among the brothers?"
"That’s right, Uncle Sun, it’s one thing for you to spoil your son, but now you want the whole village to indulge in this nonsense with you, aren’t you just afraid that your third son will lose all the money and you want everyone else to help share the burden? That’s not right, other families don’t have the spare cash like your family does."
"Indeed, you have good land and yet you ask us to plant trees, yellow peach trees at that. If they really don’t sell, isn’t that scamming people?"
...........
There were all sorts of comments, and some of them were getting nastier.
Village Chief Sun took all this in but didn’t get too upset, he even responded with a smile.
"This matter is entirely voluntary anyway, if you’re not willing, of course, I won’t insist. Now that everyone understands the situation, let’s head back. I need to make some further plans. When work resumes on Monday, I’ll have to visit the County Forestry Bureau. With the village planting so many trees, the Forestry Bureau should send a technician over."
