CCTV News: In Beijing, Chen Shuting brings a woman to her door.

Gao Qilin had just explained the solution, but Zhong Xiaoai was still asking for her opinion.

Does this mean that Zhong Xiaoai didn't take Gao Qilin's words to heart at all?

The old village chief, who was secretly pleased, smiled slightly at Zhong Xiaoai.

"Girl, are you genuinely unaware or just joking with me?"

"Your partner has already given you their idea, so why are you asking me what to do?"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Xiaoai's face immediately turned as red as a monkey's bottom.

Zhong Xiaoai was still heartbroken because of what the people of Shangguan Village had suffered.

Because she was so heartbroken, she forgot that her lover, Gao Qilin, had just come up with a solution.

It was only after being reminded by the old village chief that Zhong Xiaoai remembered.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, I was just saddened by what the villagers did, so I forgot that my lover had already offered his opinion."

Zhong Xiaoai is a very polite woman, despite her prestigious family background.

But when you interact with her in daily life, you can't tell her background at all.

She was the kind of person who was polite and well-mannered. It's no exaggeration to say that if the old village chief knew Zhong Xiaoai's family background...

I'm afraid even the old village chief would be startled by Zhong Xiaoai!

However, some things in this world are just that magical; those who keep a low profile are often the most capable.

But those who have no ability are more arrogant than those who have.

"Old village chief, since this decision has been made, I would like to trouble you to convene a village chief's meeting and have all the villagers gather here!"

"I have several projects on hand right now, and I urgently need people!"

Upon hearing this, the old village chief nodded to Gao Qilin.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it right away!"

If the old village chief leaves Shangguan Village, then very few people will recognize him.

However, he still held some authority in Shangguan Village.

"Fellow villagers, a village meeting will be held tonight at seven o'clock!"

"All villagers, please gather in the village chief's courtyard after 7 o'clock!"

At the old village chief's shout, the villagers of Shangguan Village rushed to the village chief's courtyard that very night.

There are more than a hundred villages in Shangguan Village, but fortunately the village chief's yard is big enough to accommodate them all.

If the village chief's attire could be described as shabby, then the villagers' clothing could only be described as tattered.

Many villagers were wearing patched-up military overcoats, and most of the visitors were men.

The reason the women stayed at home and didn't come out wasn't because they had a grudge against the village chief.

It's simply because women can't leave their homes!

Shangguan Village is too poor; each villager and each household only has one or two pieces of clothing.

If the men went out to do errands and work fully clothed, then the women could only stay in bed.

If I went out like that, I would be too ashamed to face anyone!

Gao Qilin and Zhong Xiaoai were both very clear about this, which was one of the reasons why they were determined to change Shangguan Village.

In their view, the poverty of a village is not the fault of the villagers.

These villagers are hardworking and resilient; they have done their best to live within their means.

Without outside help, these villagers would continue to live in poverty and misery forever.

Now, Gao Qilin and Zhong Xiaoai have arrived.

These villagers' hard times are finally over, but they are not very enthusiastic about it.

The reason is simply because too many outsiders came to the village in the past. Every time they made a promise, they would leave in a hurry, but they never brought any change to the villagers.

Chapter 273 Listen to Me

"Village chief, what important matter has happened in the village this time? Why is there another village meeting so soon?"

"Zhang Mazi, you're really out of the loop! Didn't you know that some big shot came to our village more than ten days ago?"

"That's right, I heard this important person came here to help our village get out of poverty and become prosperous!"

"Zhang Mazi, you've been poor your whole life, and now you don't even have two wives. Do you want to continue living this miserable life?"

Zhang Mazi's family was the poorest in Shangguan Village, but saying it was just one family is obviously not accurate.

He was all alone, if his father had been alive five years ago.

Zhang Mazi had another relative, but that was after his father died.

Zhang Mazi was all alone at home, and being alone at home was indeed boring.

So, this kid found a hobby that belonged to him alone.

My hobby is being a street urchin in the village!

It should be noted that Shangguan Village was originally the poorest village in Jinghai City.

Zhang Mazi, who was "fortunate" enough to be one of the poorest people in Shangguan Village, was naturally extremely poor!

This guy just makes a living off the few acres of land his family owns, but that kind of life, relying on the weather, isn't easy.

Therefore, during the off-season, Zhang Mazi would go to the city to do odd jobs.

Shangguan Village was a notoriously poor village, and no girl wanted to marry into it.

Zhang Mazi is almost forty years old, but he still doesn't have a wife.

As a well-known street hustler in Shangguan Village, Zhang Mazi naturally had the most extensive network of information.

Logically speaking, he should have known that Zhong Xiaoai and Gao Qilin had come to the village.

However, the villagers of Shangguan Village still used this incident to mock Zhang Mazi, even though they didn't really mean to mock him.

Instead, they used Zhang Mazi to mock the old village chief, believing that too many wealthy people had come to the village in the past.

But which of these wealthy people actually wants to help Shangguan Village escape poverty?

Those wealthy people only coveted Shangguan Village's resources; for them, the village's only value lay in its resources.

With just a few words from those wealthy people, they can easily persuade the dozens of laborers here.

Then, the dozens of people in Shangguan Village will go from being laborers to being free laborers.

You're making a bunch of free laborers work themselves to the bone for you.

Who wouldn't want to do something so good? Only a complete fool would refuse such a proposal!

Zhang Mazi understood what everyone meant; he knew they weren't really making fun of him.

They were just using his identity to make fun of Zhong Xiaoai and Gao Qilin.

Zhang Mazi joined in the commotion.

“That’s right, hey, don’t let my constant running around fool you.”

"But I don't really know many of these important figures. However, I do know a few swindlers!"

Upon hearing this, the villagers burst into laughter, and the entire courtyard was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

This was the first time Zhong Xiaoai had encountered such a situation, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

It's worth noting that Zhong Xiaoai had previously visited the village and worked with the villagers.

However, those villages are developing quite well.

Moreover, the village also has its own factory and school.

It's no exaggeration to say that these villages are projects that the municipal government or even the provincial government is keeping an eye on!

Even if those officials can't live a good life themselves, they won't let the villagers live a bad life.

These villages benefited from the higher-ups, and they were naturally grateful to those in power!

Therefore, when Zhong Xiaoai went to these villages to do her work with the villagers, they naturally welcomed her.

Before Zhong Xiaoai and her group even arrived in the village, the villagers ran to the village entrance to greet them.

The scene was truly spectacular, with gongs and drums resounding, firecrackers exploding, red flags waving, and a sea of ​​people!

The problem is, those are wealthy villages, and these villages are more developed than some county towns.

But once we got to this small place, to the poorest part of Jinghai City, everything changed!

The people here are used to hardship; they haven't even settled their own household affairs yet.

You can't expect them to come out and welcome (Good Zhao)!

Besides, the villagers of Shangguan Village are terrified of being cheated by foreign bosses.
