C173 Conspiracy(1)
"Fellow villagers, please calm down!"
When Bai Sha saw this, he quickly stood up and said, "I know that everyone is very concerned about this matter, but we need to have some time to discuss it. If we don't make a good arrangement and something goes wrong, it won't be good for everyone, right?"
Upon hearing Bai Sha's words, many people nodded their heads. They all started to get anxious and started discussing amongst themselves.
"What little Sha says makes sense!"
"This is a big matter, I can't just make a careless decision like this!"
"Right, right, that's it!"
"..."
Seeing that everyone was very reasonable, Bai Sha also felt happy in her heart. She said, "Why don't you all go back first? Give us another day's time. I'll inform everyone tomorrow!"
"Tch!" "Pfft!"
Just then, Wu Lao San, who was standing in the middle of the crowd, rolled his eyes and spat on the ground. "What's there to discuss?" It's not a big deal whether we rent or not. In my opinion, they don't even take a fancy to us. What do they mean by bringing us along to get rich?
"Wu Ol'third!"
Hearing him speak of Chen Long like that, Bai Sha immediately became angry. She knew how many things Chen Long had done for the benefit of the village, slandering Chen Long, she was the first one to not allow it!
"There is no ivory in a dog's mouth. If it wasn't for Xiaolong, how could your family sell that lousy little bit of rice? Do you even have a conscience? "
"I say, Bai Sha, it's not like I'm talking about you, why are you in such a hurry? "With how you protect Chen Long, could it be that you and that brat Chen Long …"
Wu Lao San's eyeballs rolled in his eye sockets as he greedily glanced at Bai Sha. He himself was an extremely scoundrel, so he dared to say anything!
When Wu Lao San said this, the crowd immediately burst into an uproar, chattering nonstop. Almost everyone looked at Bai Sha with an extremely peculiar gaze, as if they were certain that Bai Sha and Chen Long were having an affair.
In fact, there were many rumors about this matter in the village. After all, Chen Long and Bai Sha were often seen by people, especially a bachelor like Wu Lao San. Jealousy was inevitable!
Bai Sha was so angry that his face turned red. He pointed at Wu Lao San and scolded, "You …" "You bastard!"
"Yo, look, I've hit the mark!"
Staring at Bai Sha's full chest, he fiercely swallowed a mouthful of saliva, laughed and said, "Bai Sha, don't think that you will be fine just because you're attached to Chen Long. It's just a broken shoe that has been dumped by someone, are you really treating yourself as a treasure?"
The crowd immediately quietened down. Wu Lao San also felt that his words were a bit excessive, but when he looked at Bai Sha's pale face, not only did he feel a sense of satisfaction, he also felt proud of himself!
What did I say?
If Chen Long dares to hit me, then it means that I have a chance. If he doesn't dare to do anything, then he's just a weakling. At that time, I won't believe that a little girl like you can do anything to me!
"You said enough?"
At this moment, Chen Long walked out with a gloomy face. His body exuded a powerful oppressive force, causing the others to be unable to resist and make a path for him.
Step by step, he arrived in front of Wu Ol 'Three, and stared down at him from high above as he said word by word, "Wu Ol'third, let me ask you, have you said enough?"
Being stared at like that by Chen Long, Wu Lao San's whole body suddenly shivered and he stammered, "No …" Enough, enough! "
"Is that enough? Then I'll tell you! "
Chen Long sneered and grabbed the collar of Old Wu's neck, lifting him up with force before slapping him across the face.
"Wu Ol 'Three, this is the first time. If it wasn't for Big Sister Bai Sha pleading for you, do you really think your family's sandy rice could have been sold?"
Pow!
"This is the second time. I have plotted against you to stir up trouble for no reason. The eyes of the villagers are bright. Don't think that just a few casual words of yours can stir people's hearts!"
Pow!
"This is the third time. Your mom is already sixty to seventy years old and you're not good at gambling or fighting or causing trouble with your neighbors. Who are you to blame?"
Clap clap!
These two slaps were even more ruthless than the previous ones. With these two slaps, Old Wu's face immediately swelled up.
"These two are for nothing but my Sister Bai Sha. If I tell you that Sister Bai Sha is not someone that can be scolded by people like you, she will be even more intimate than my own sister. Scolding her is equivalent to scolding me!"
After he finished speaking, Chen Long moved closer to Wu Lao San's ear and whispered, "Don't think that I don't know who sent you. It's Zhao Dabao, isn't it? "Go back and tell him to stop messing with me or else he'll be in trouble!"
"Scram!"
With a casual toss, Chen Long threw Wu Lao San out of the door, making him fall down like a dog and eat shit.
Wu Lao rolled a few times before he finally got up. He glared at Chen Long with resentment and ran away in a sorry state.
"Well fought!"
After Wu Lao San ran away, the crowd burst into cheers and everyone started to clap and cheer.
"I've disliked this bastard for a long time now!"
"It's not a big deal, Wu Ol 'Three, that dog, steals chickens and dogs every day. He's not some good stuff!"
"When I was bathing a few days ago, he almost peeked at me!"
"..."
This Old Wu had a very bad reputation in the village. Because he was with Zhao Dabao's son, Zhao Cang, the villagers that had been harmed by him were all angry, but they didn't dare to say anything.
However, Chen Long did not care about that and quickly walked back to Bai Sha's side. He was about to say something when he saw Bai Sha shake his head and then look forward, indicating for him to settle this matter first.
"Fellow villagers!"
Helpless, Chen Long could only turn his head to face the front and shout out a greeting. His voice even had a trace of spiritual power, instantly suppressing everyone's voices.
"Everyone, listen to me. I, Chen Long, am indeed getting rich, but I haven't forgotten my fellow villagers. Otherwise, I would have already bought a small house in the city and brought my parents to have some fun. Why would I live in a village?"
After hearing what Chen Long said, everyone present carefully thought about it and nodded their heads in agreement.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Chen Long continued, "As for the matter of renting the land, you just want to let me have a winter's time. I can't agree to that!"
As for the reason, let me make it clear to everyone now, the weather is going to turn cold soon. I, Chen Long, am not an immortal, so I can't just let the manor grow in this world of ice and snow.
"The cost of building a greenhouse is more than a million yuan. Everyone, think about it. If you let me rent the greenhouse for such a short period of time, I would destroy it in the spring of next year. Wouldn't my money go down the drain?"
Chen Long's words silenced everyone. The atmosphere immediately became awkward as a dejected aura filled the air.
One of them cautiously asked, "Xiaolong, is there no other way?"
"There's a way as well. It will depend on whether everyone is willing to or not!" Seeing the depressed looks on the faces of his fellow villagers, Chen Long said in a timely manner.
"What kind of method is that?"
When everyone heard that Chen Long had a solution, they immediately perked up and raised their heads to look at him.2
"The solution is simple!"
Chen Long laughed, "Everyone, let me rent out the land. With such a large area, even if I were to die from exhaustion, I definitely wouldn't be able to take care of it. Therefore, every family can send two people to work here with me.
"Three thousand for one person, six thousand for two people. That much?"
"Yeah, this is way too much!"
"That's not what Wu Ol 'Three said. It can't be a lie!"
Everyone shook their heads. They didn't believe that Chen Long would give them such good treatment. This was completely different from what Wu Lao San had said. Who was lying?
"Old Wu?" Chen Long was stunned. "What did he say?"
Upon hearing Chen Long's question, the quick-mouthed Aunt Qian said, "Wu Lao San said that you will pay several hundred yuan per mu of land to grow our land. Even the salary is not as much as you said!"
"He's lying to you!"
Chen Long understood what was going on immediately, he cursed at Zhao Dabao for not being a good man, and then explained, "What I'm saying is true. If you don't believe me, you can ask Brother Niu. He's already signed the contract. If there's anything different from what I said, I, Chen Long, will apologize immediately!"
"Xiaolong, I believe in you!"
"Right, regardless of whether others believe it or not, I do believe it!"
"Since Xiao Long is so rich, why would he need to lie to us commoners?"
"..."
Hearing everyone's support, Chen Long's heart was moved, he immediately waved his hand, signalling for everyone to quiet down, then bowed deeply towards everyone and said: "Thank you for your trust, I guarantee, in the future everyone will definitely get rich, our Phoenix Village will definitely become a true Golden Phoenix!"
"Alright, I won't say too much. If there's anything else I want to know, I can ask Brother Niu. If there's anyone who wants to sign the contract, please go and find my Sister Bai Sha!"
Following Chen Long's words, a large group of people ran out from the courtyard. They were all looking for Niu Lahei to ask him questions. Everyone knew that he was working in the fields.
There were also those who were more quick-witted that surrounded Bai Sha. Aunt Qian squeezed in with all her might while shouting, "Little Sha, I want to sign the contract directly. Are you free right now? Sign it right now!"
"Hey, Aunt Qian, didn't you say you wouldn't sign even if you were beaten to death? What are you trying to squeeze in for!? " Immediately, someone mocked.
Aunt Qian was not angry at all. She scolded, "Isn't it because that dog, Old Wu, is lying to me? Get out of the way. Don't you understand that you don't respect your elders?!"
"Haha …"
Aunt Qian's words made everyone burst out into laughter. Even Bai Sha couldn't help laughing out loud. He charmingly looked at Chen Long and said, "Since everyone wants to sign the contract, then come with me!"
Seeing that there were so many people, Chen Long wanted to help. However, just as he took a step forward, he saw Bai Sha shake his head at him, indicating that Chen Long could take care of this by himself.
"Everyone, maintain order. This way, I'll be more efficient!"
