Chapter 901
Everyone gradually dispersed, and Lin Ran Song Nuan as well as Da Long were ready to go back, but just then.
Instead, the three of them saw a figure from a great distance, who was taking advantage of the night to seemingly prepare to go to the back of the mountain.
“Old Yu?”
The three of them walked up and were stunned to find that it was actually Old Yu.
“What? Can’t go up the mountain!”
Old Yu looked at the three men with an embarra*sed face.
“No, what are you doing up on the mountain now?”
Lin Ran wondered.
Song Nuan and Dalong were also bewildered, wondering what this guy was up to again.
“Nonsense, what else can I do up in the mountains! To make money!”
Old Yu said without a good mood, while glaring at Lin Ran and scolding him.
“I’ll say this up front, you’re the one who said you’d take herbs as long as they were available, and that anyone could!”
Looking at Old Yu, who was afraid that Lin Ran wouldn’t accept it, both Song Nuan and Dalong couldn’t help but laugh.
“Take it! Take whatever you collect yourself!”
Lin Ran laughed, and then went back home with Song Nuan and Dalong.
After tonight’s events, the villagers’ motivation had clearly increased, especially the next day when almost the entire village was out in force.
In the past, in the village, it was all about the old people with their children talking about the sky and the sun.
But now, almost no one was seen in the village during the day, and all of them ran up to the mountains to pick herbs. They all knew that picking herbs could make money, and the key was that the work could be done by the elderly and children, so who would have trouble with money.
Looking at the villagers’ enthusiasm, Lin Ran and Song Nuan were also very pleased, even Dalong sometimes went to the mountains to pick herbs, after all, he was the only one, how could he live without making some money?
For the next three days, Lin Ran and Song Nuan ran to the mountain, reminding everyone not to damage the roots when picking herbs, and also researching the situation in the back of the mountain, so that they could plan for future development.
On the third day, as promised, the herb market truck arrived, and after three days of accumulation, the herbs in Lin Ran’s hands had already exceeded the first batch of deliveries as previously agreed.
Cao Delei also made it a point to explain to the driver that this time, no matter how many herbs Lin Ran had in his hands, he wanted them all, so it could be said that he had bought up the entire stock in Lin Ran’s hands at once.
When the villagers saw that the herbs they had worked so hard to collect were selling so well, they were naturally even more motivated. Some of the labourers who had come back to visit their relatives and were working outside the home also took a few more days off to pick herbs at home.
Are you kidding? The most you can earn is 200 yuan a day, but for those who are rich in labor, they can earn nearly a thousand yuan a day, so it goes without saying where the money is.
“I’ve done some calculations, according to your plan, six months of herb picking period, the villagers can earn more than 100,000 yuan per capita, this per capita income is a direct ten times ah!”
Watching the truck leave, Song Nuan couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.
“Yes, but unfortunately it’s only six months, so the herbs are only temporary, we have to think of a more long-term path of development.”
Lin Ran laughed.
“What are you going to do then?”
Song Nuan asked busily.
Lin Ran, however, smiled and said.
“We can’t rush for now, we have to take things one step at a time, there are still five or six months of herbs that the villagers can collect, so we still have plenty of time, the next step is up to you!”
“Look at me? What do you want to see?”
Song Nuan’s pretty face flushed, not quite understanding Lin Ran’s meaning.
“Naturally it’s to see what you can do, otherwise what else can we see, you won’t be given a chance to see the rest!”
Lin Ran laughed.
“You! Stinking rascal!”
Song Nuan’s pretty face turned even redder.
“Be serious, what exactly do we do next?”
Song Nuan asked seriously.
“Wait for a few days, you go to a meeting in the town and find out about the new rural construction, when the villagers have some money in their hands, I’ll be ready to put the house modification on the agenda!”
Lin Ran said.
Song Nuan smiled but frowned.
“I’m afraid this matter is not easy to implement, most of the villagers only have one house, if they renovate it they won’t have a place to live!”
“That’s why I said we should plan slowly, this matter will have to be combined with the construction of the new countryside later, and then go and find a construction company to talk about it in detail!”
Lin Ran said.
The two of them were methodically working on the construction of the village, while at the same time, in Baigou Village, Boss Bai was not idle either.
“Boss, we’ve found out clearly that the village chief of Linjiawan is not Lin Ran, but the woman who came back with him, who seems to be named Song Nuan!”
Inside the smoke-filled office, a young villager said respectfully.
“What are they doing these days? How come there are big trucks going in every three days?”
Boss Bai asked, the feud between Bai Cai and Lin Ran had not yet been settled, so he naturally kept an eye on Lin Ran’s movements at all times.
“It seems that they are selling herbs!”
The youth said.
“Selling herbs?”
He had known that Lin Jiawan sold herbs before, but it was only a small business, the villagers went up to the mountains to pick some and occasionally went to the town to sell them, but how much money could they sell?
“Boss, it seems that they are doing quite a big business in herbal medicine, should we in Bai Gou Village have a hand in it?”
The youth asked.
“It’s just a raggedy herb business, I don’t see it yet!”
Boss Bai was full of disdain, but he still asked.
“How big is the business?”
“It seems to be a contract for tens of millions of dollars!”
The youth said busily.
“A contract of tens of millions of dollars? How is that possible!”
Bai Lao’s face sank, tens of millions to him that was definitely big money.
“A friend of mine works at the herb market, I asked him about it, he said that Lin Jia Wan is working with a factory in town to provide herbs, it’s very profitable!”
“Right, right! I went to Linjiawan these days and saw that the village was deserted during the day, they all ran off to the mountains to pick herbs!”
Another youth next to him said.
“Boss, that’s a contract of tens of millions of dollars, don’t we have a hand in it?”
The youth who reported was busy saying.
“Right dad, how can we let Lin Jiawan take such a large amount of money for himself, we’ll go up the mountain to pick medicine too!”
Next to him, Bai Cai heard what he said and also said, tens of millions of dollars really made him a bit red-eyed.
“Picking medicine? You’re going to do that?”
Boss Bai glared at him, immediately scaring Bai Cai into not daring to talk any more nonsense.
Bai Gou Village was relatively rich, and there was even a paper products processing factory near the village, and many people in the village worked in the factory. With such a stable job, who would want to run up the mountain to pick medicine and work themselves to death.
“Moreover, this Linjiawan is just halfway up the mountain, and our Bai Gou village is still some distance away from the back of the mountain, I’m afraid we also go to the herbs, which is not reasonable, the most important thing is that we have no marketing!”
Boss Bai frowned in contemplation.
“But father, we can’t just watch Linjiawan overtake our village, right?
Bai Cai said busily.
“Shut up! Laozi doesn’t know!”
Boss Bai glared at him and followed, falling into deep thought, only after a moment did he snapped open his eyes, a few icy chills in his eyes.
“Since we can’t share this piece of cake, let’s destroy it. If the open way doesn’t work, we’ll come to the dark way and use underhanded tricks for him! What we can’t earn in Bai Gou Village, he can’t earn in Lin Jia Wan!”
With that, Boss Bai greeted a few youths and ordered something in a low voice.
Chapter 902
Peaceful days always pa*s quickly, a full half month after returning to the village.
Song Nuan and Lin Ran were planning the layout of the villagers’ houses on the roof of the house, while at that moment, the former’s mobile phone was ringing.
“My father!”
Song Nuan whispered, and then whirled around and picked up the phone.
“Xiao Nuan, I heard that you ran away to Lin Jiawan to become the village head?”
Song Yujiang’s surprised voice came over the phone.
“Yes, I didn’t have time to tell you about it!”
Song Nuan laughed.
“It’s alright, finding something you like is most important, but you also have to understand one thing!”
Song Yujiang’s tone suddenly turned serious.
“The fact that you were born into this family predestines you to be different from ordinary people, so if you really want to do well as the village head, you have to put in more effort than others and let everyone recognise your abilities, rather than talking up that you are my daughter!”
“Father, I understand! I have never mentioned your name!”
Song Nuan said solemnly.
“Mm! It’s best if you can understand, since you’ve chosen to do well, father believes you have the ability!”
Song Yujiang said gratefully.
Song Nuan actually understood the meaning of Song Yujiang’s words, although it appeared to be a bit too much of a concern, but in reality, it was a concern for her.
After all, this is Song Nuan’s first real career after graduation, and I’m afraid it would be a bit unacceptable for Song Nuan if she still ended up with this halo under her father’s care.
But again, Song Yujiang is a very good role model, if as a female Song Nuan did not do this job well, I am afraid that will also be crowned as a tiger father and dog daughter, so no matter what Song Nuan must do a good job as the village head.
“What uncle said is too serious, you don’t have to stress!”
Lin Ran laughed.
“Don’t worry, I won’t!”
Song Nuan laughed, after these half months of fumbling around, she had actually vaguely liked the position of village chief, whenever she looked at the villagers finding themselves with expectant eyes, she could feel relieved.
“Ranzi, it’s not good! Something’s happened!”
The two were chatting when suddenly Dalong rushed in through the doorway, his face still taking up all this dirt and in a very sorry state.
“What’s wrong?”
Lin Ran asked as he saw this and jumped straight off the roof.
“Something happened on the mountain, Old Yu was beaten up!”
Dalong said busily.
“Beaten up?”
Lin Ran frowned at his words, the back of the mountain was basically all people from Lin Jia Wan, who would beat him up?
“It’s someone from Bai Gou Village, I’ve seen them before! The leader is one of Boss Bai’s men, named Ah Hui!”
Big Dragon said busily.
“Go! Go and take a look!”
Lin Ran frowned slightly and immediately ran out with Dalong.
Seeing this, Song Nuan also hurriedly descended from the roof and followed out.
…..
On the back of the hill, a group of villagers surrounded Ah Hui and the others, each with anger on their faces.
“What’s the matter? Is there no one left in Linjiawan? You’re the only ones looking for trouble, and you’re sending the old and the sick here? I’ll beat you up like ants!”
Ah Hui was full of disdain.
The three or four brothers beside him were also full of disdain, not giving a D*mn about the crowd.
It couldn’t be helped, there seemed to be a lot of people on Lin Jia Wan’s side, but most of them were old people and children, and they really didn’t have any advantage against their four or five young and strong men.
“Little brat, you came to our Linjiawan to beat people up, you really think that our Linjiawan is easy to bully!”
The second eldest stood at the front and said angrily.
He was the most senior among these people, so naturally he was the one to take the lead at this moment.
“Old thing, who are you calling little brat?”
Ah Hui’s face instantly sank at his words.
“Is it wrong to call you a brat? When I was in Lin Jia Wan, your mother hadn’t even gotten married yet!”
The Second Master was not good-natured, and he was furious in the face of these landlubbers.
“Old thing, if you say one more word, believe it or not, I’ll kill you!”
Ah Hui was instantly furious.
“What do you want, after beating me you still want to beat up the people of our village, this is Lin Jia Wan!”
Old Yu covered his face and said angrily.
“Dog, try shouting again? If I dare to hit you once, I dare to hit you a second time!”
Ah Hui said disdainfully.
At this moment the other villagers around could not bear to look at him and blamed him.
“Why is this boy so unreasonable!”
“That’s right, you’re so arrogant even after hitting someone!”
“This is Lin Jia Wan!”
“Apologise!”
The Second Master looked at Ah Hui and said angrily.
“What did you say?”
Ah Hui smiled at his words and looked at the Second Master with a cold smile on his face.
“I told you to apologise!”
Second Master said in an angry voice.
“I pooh!”
Ah Hui spat directly and looked at the Second Master and said coldly.
“I won’t apologize today, what can you do to me?”
Looking at Ah Hui’s unreasonable attitude, the second grand master became furious and raised his hand and slapped Ah Hui directly on the face.
No one expected Master Er to do it just like that, and even the other villagers did not react.
Even more so, Ah Hui did not expect that an old man, who was over 60 years old, would dare to hit him.
And when he reacted at that moment, Ah Hui’s face instantly went icy cold, and he looked at the second grand master angrily and cursed.
“You F**king old thing, you dare to hit old me! I’ll kill you if I don’t!”
With that, Ah Hui raised his hand and slapped towards the Second Master.
Master Er was too old, he was over 60 years old, so naturally his slap was no match for Ah Hui’s.
If this slap had hit him, I am afraid that he would have fallen to the ground in an instant.
Seeing this scene, the villagers could not help but cover their eyes, not daring to look, fearing that the result would be too much for them to accept.
Yet the second grand master was looking at Ah Hui with unblinking eyes, breaking with a backbone of a man who could be killed but not humiliated.
“Stop!”
Suddenly, just as the string in the crowd’s heart was about to break, a rebuke sounded out, followed by a “whoosh” sound, and a black shadow directly hit Ah Hui’s palm.
The palm, which had been raised high, was immediately knocked backwards, and Fai’s whole body was carried to the ground on all fours.
“Who! Who the F**k is it!”
Ah Hui endured the sharp pain in his hand and hurriedly got up and cursed angrily.
Soon he saw that at the back of the crowd, Big Dragon was walking with a youth whom he also knew, none other than Lin Ran from Lin Jia Wan.
“Fine! Lin Ran, I was afraid that you wouldn’t dare to come!”
Ah Hui laughed at once.
“What? Are you deliberately waiting for me?”
Lin Ran said indifferently.
“Waiting for you? What kind of a thing are you!”
Ah Hui was full of disdain.
“I don’t know what kind of thing I am, but you’re certainly not something, raising your hand to hit an old man.”
Lin Ran laughed.
“You! Sharp-tongued!”
Ah Hui’s face was icy cold as he looked at Lin Ran in a deadly cold voice.
“Since you’re here, then let’s break up this matter today!”
Ah Hui said, directly pulling out an iron rod at his waist and sticking it into the ground.
“You just threw a stone at me, right? Now I’ll give you two ways, either kneel down and call out to your grandfather, or I’ll break your leg, your choice!”
“You!”
The Second Master was furious at his words.
“Shut up old thing, we’ll count your slap later!”
Ah Hui directly interrupted the Second Grand Master’s words in an angry voice.
Lin Ran, however, laughed at this.
“Like to count it piece by piece? Then fine, let’s count them one by one!”
Saying that, Lin Ran gently rolled up his sleeves and laughed.
“First piece, let’s do the math, I’ll throw a stone at you, and you threaten me about it! I won’t choose either of your two options!”
