The village chief had a lot on his mind.
Of course, this news was still uncertain and couldn’t be revealed for the time being.
However, this matter was really a big deal for Taoyuan Village.
…
When Grandfather Gong saw Gong Tianhao sitting in the courtyard and having a video conference with his subordinates, he glared fiercely and said with a resentful tone, “Work, work, work. Is work more important than your wife?”
“Wife?” The subordinates who were having a video conference with Gong Tianhao were stunned. When did their boss have a wife?
Gong Tianhao ignored the shock of his subordinates and turned off the video.
He turned to his grandpa and said calmly, “Grandfather, of course, my wife is more important than work!”
Old Master Gong immediately said, “In that case, why didn’t you help when the girl’s request to contract the mountains was blocked?”
Gong Tianhao curled his lips and said, “Grandfather, how do you know that I didn’t help?”
“…” Old Master Gong said, “Then, why are you still sitting here and working? You should be out there helping her!”
“Because this is a small matter to me!” Gong Tianhao said calmly.
“Oh, because it’s a small matter to you, you’ll let your wife and your in-laws stew in anxiety?” Old Master Gong said unhappily, “You can easily resolve this problem, but you stand there and watch the show. Are you really sincere about getting a wife? If you don’t get the wife, then I won’t have my great-grandson. You unfilial son,” Old Master Gong scolded.
Gong Tianhao said, “Grandfather, I have my own plans. If you want to get a granddaughter-in-law and great-grandson as soon as possible, you’d better not interfere!”
Old Master Gong,”…” How did this brat know that he wanted to interfere.
Old Master Gong looked at him suspiciously and asked, “Gong Tianhao, do you really have a plan?”
Gong Tianhao said domineeringly, “Grandfather, do you think I’d let my wife be bullied by others?”
Old Master Gong smiled, “Alright, since you have your own plan, then I won’t interfere. The only thing I want from you now is to marry that lass as soon as possible so that I can be the first to carry my great-grandson.”
‘That will be a little difficult.’ Gong Tianhao thought. ‘The first to carry your great-grandson is my mother-in-law. Grandpa, you’ll have to line up.’
Old Master Gong sat down and asked, “Who wants to develop Taoyuan Village into a tourist spot anyway?”
Gong Tianhao laughed coldly, “It’s a large tourism development company in City Z. They found out about Taoyuan Village through the strawberries and the news reports. They wanted to develop this place into a tourist destination in name, but in reality, they want to occupy the land where Xiao Lingyu grows strawberries.”
Hearing this, Old Master Gong immediately understood everything. He frowned and asked, “So, they aren’t interested in tourism, but the land where the strawberries are grown? Do they want to seize the land?”
“That’s right!” Gong Tianhao nodded and said, “Xiao Lingyu’s strawberries have gained some fame.
“Xiao Lingye is this year’s top-scorer. Many reporters came to interview him. The reporters had many good things to say about Taoyuan Village.
“At the same time, Xing Yin County, which shouldn’t be able to grow strawberries, had created a miracle with Taoyuan Village’s strawberries. The people who came here to visit bought many local vegetables when they returned.” Gong Tianhao sighed. “Grandpa, you should have noticed that the vegetables grown here are much more delicious than the ones on the market. Xiao Lingyu’s family’s vegetables are the best, but even the crops of the normal villagers are better-tasting than the ones sold at high-end markets.”
Old Master Gong’s expression became unusually serious. He said, “Therefore, these people suspect that the soil here is special? And it can grow delicious crops?”
“That’s right,” Gong Tianhao continued, “With a special land that can grow delicious vegetables and strawberries, grandfather, how much profit do you think can be gained from Taoyuan Village?
“Xiao Lingyu’s strawberries are already being sold at 300 RMB per catty. Even then, her vegetables are out of stock often. In City Z’s National Union Supermarket, the strawberries are sold for 35 RMB each. However, the clients have no complaints.
“Grandpa, if these people really get their hands on this land, how do you think they’ll sell the crops?”
“Those profiteers wouldn’t be as friendly as Lingyu with their pricing.” Old Master Gong said directly, “So, their things will definitely sell for a sky-high price.
“Xiao Lingyu planted six Mu of strawberries, and she sold them slightly more expensive than normal strawberries, but even so, she had already earned several million. The profiteers would have sold them for a much higher price. They’d have a projected profit of more than 100 million.”
Gong Tianhao nodded. “And that’s the real reason.”
“So, these people are going to openly occupy Taoyuan Village with the name of developing the place.” Old Master Gong frowned. “The villagers will be moved away. Their land will be taken from them.”
“Cough, cough…” Gong Tianhao corrected, “Grandfather, the land is not taken, but the land will be leased.”
Old Master Gong said disdainfully, “These are just excuses. The profiteers will pay a small sum of rent to take over the land. Do you think I’m dumb?”
As a businessman, Gong Tianhao had done similar things in the past.
“Cough cough…” Gong Tianhao coughed again.
Old Master Gong glanced at him and said disdainfully, “Take your medicine if you have a cold. Don’t spread it to others, especially my granddaughter-in-law.”
Gong Tianhao, “…” He was no better than a fart in his grandfather’s heart.
Who was his real grandchild?
Gong Tianhao said, “Don’t worry, grandfather. I’m fine. It was an itch in my throat.”
“Just settle this matter as soon as possible,” Old Master Gong ordered sternly. “Don’t make my granddaughter-in-law worry!”
“….” Gong Tianhao nodded, “Okay, I understand.”
