Rebirth of a Farmhouse with Space

Zhao Yunchuan said, "I won't do any business, but I will buy three shops for my brothers and let them run them. As for what to sell, they can decide for themselves. I will just focus on the affairs of the village!"

After finishing the official business, Nan Chen said, "There is one more thing I want to tell you."

Zhao Yunchuan asked, "What's the matter?"

"You know, I have to take care of the cement factory and now the farm. I am really not capable of being the village administrator, so I plan to resign from this position!"

Zhao Yunchuan was really surprised by Nan Chen's idea. "Nan Chen, is it because some villagers said some excessive things that you don't want to be the governor?"

"Not really. I do have a lot of things on hand. In fact, I had this plan a long time ago, but I just never found a chance to tell you!"

Zhao Yunchuan was in a very complicated mood. Nanchen was a talented person. Whether it was handling the big and small matters in the village, or helping to lead the villagers through the initial and most difficult times, Nanchen could be said to be the biggest contributor. To be honest, without Nanchen's help, he would not have been able to do his job so well as the village chief!

"How about this, you take charge of the administration first, and if there is a suitable candidate, you can step down, how about that?"

Nan Chen thought about it and agreed. He also knew that the position of village director was not something that anyone could get, so even if he wanted to resign, there would have to be a transition period, for example, to allow the new director to become familiar with the work content.

"Okay! In that case, I will take over for the time being, and I will step down when a suitable candidate is found!"

While the two were talking about something, Wei Ting personally came to the door with an apology. Seeing that the village chief was still at Nan Chen's house, Wei Ting sincerely apologized to Nan Chen and his wife again, "I'm sorry, it's my fault for not controlling my family well, which has caused you trouble. I bought these pieces of silk from the provincial capital, sister-in-law, you can use them to make some clothes for the children!"

The fabric was good and bright in color, just right for making clothes for children. Ms. Dong glanced at Nanchen, who nodded and asked Ms. Dong to accept it. "Since Brother Wei apologized so sincerely, we can't be stingy. If we accept Brother Wei's apology, we will be able to make peace!"

The village chief also smiled and tried to smooth things over, "That's right, we are all from the same village, we must unite!"

After this incident, Wei Ting felt even more ashamed to face people. He felt that everyone was laughing at him and that everyone looked down on him. He was depressed and wanted to drink to relieve his sorrow, but the wine only made him more depressed.

Ever since the three boys from the Wei family fell into the water that day, they have been acting like lost souls. They are listless all day long and are no longer as lively and cheerful as before.

Many elderly people in the village suggested that the Wei family prepare offerings and go to the river to worship the river god and sincerely repent to the river god. Maybe the child will get better!

The Wei family followed instructions and went to the county town to buy some good wine and food, and went to the river to repent. They didn't know whether it was because the river god was unwilling to forgive them or because the three boys had suffered some kind of taboo, but there was no improvement!

One day, the two sisters-in-law of the Wei family were washing clothes by the river. Ma Damei saw them and came up to them with a basin of clothes. She smiled and said, "What's the matter? Did you become scared just because Dong scolded you a few times?"

Mrs. Feng rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "Ma Damei, you are quite happy to see our family in such bad luck, right?" Mrs. Feng threw the clothes in her hand on the big rock and said angrily, "No, how did we offend you? You are so happy to gloat over my misfortune."

Ma Damei quickly put down the clothes in her hand, stood up and went to comfort Feng, "Ah, why are you still angry? I am just standing up for you, don't be angry!"

After calming down the furious Feng, Ma Damei continued, "I don't mean to gloat over someone else's misfortune. You misunderstood me. What I meant was that since you can't bring down the Nan family, why don't you let the villagers help you bring down the Nan family? It would be best if you could drive all the Nan family members out of Xiangyang Village!"

Feng and Lin stopped washing clothes at the same time and asked, "What are you paying attention to?"

Ma Damei smiled mysteriously and hooked her finger to signal the two to come closer. She then whispered, "Now the Nan family is the most profitable in the whole village. Not only is Nan Chen in charge of government, he also opened a cement factory. Do you know how much money his cement factory makes?"

The two sisters-in-law shook their heads to express their ignorance. Ma Damei said sarcastically, "In just a few months, at least several thousand taels!"

If it weren't for the gossipmongers who love to spread rumors, Nanchen would have earned some money in the past few months, but he only earned a few hundred taels, but by Ma Damei's account it became several thousand taels!

Feng was shocked and asked, "What? That much? No, how do you know that he earns that much money?"

"There are so many workers working in his cement factory. You can find out by just asking around!"

Lin said, "Yes, Nanchen can make a lot of money, and Dong can also make a little money, but they are the only family that can make money!"

Ma Damei curled her lips, "Not so good. Dong was doing the business of selling mountain products before, but now she doesn't do it anymore? The man in the family must be making a lot of money, so how could she still care about that little money? It's just that she doesn't care about the small business, but she doesn't know how many families in the village rely on this small business to make a living. She said she would not do it, and it affected other families in the village and made it impossible to sell their mountain products. Tell me, isn't this harming people!"

Feng and Lin thought about it and realized that this Dong was too selfish. He only cared about living a good life for his own family and didn't care about the life and death of other families. How could there be such a person!

Ma Damei continued, "Now I heard that the Nan family is going to build a shop in the back mountain to do business. It seems to be a good business that can make a lot of money. Tell me, why do all the good things fall on this family?"

Lin asked, "Building a house in the back mountain to do business? What kind of business is there? Not only is it remote, but there is not even a single person in the back mountain. Aren't they just running out of money?"

Feng said, "Isn't there an official road behind the mountain? Occasionally there will be passers-by. Maybe they want to do business with passers-by?"

Ma Damei said mysteriously, "Haven't you heard that our Xuanwu Kingdom is going to open trade with the Monda Kingdom? The pipeline in the back mountain is a must-go route for north-south caravans, so the Nan family wants to do the caravan business!"

Lin asked, "Ma Damei, how do you know so much?"

"Don't worry about how I know this. I'm just asking you, Nan Chen is both a politician and a business owner, and he takes care of all the money-making work. Don't you think this is wrong?"

Feng asked, "What can we do? We can't bring him down or take his business away from him!"
