I was exposed for adding my female boss to my group of female friends.

"When I came down and saw this village, my heart sank! Tears welled up in my eyes."

"It's so hard. It breaks my heart to see people living like this on our own soil."

"However, all of this was changed by Aunt Xu's son."

Qin Yun Chu's heart clenched with anxiety as she listened, and when Chen Ya finally appeared, she quickly asked:

How did he change?

Old Liu smiled and said, "He first paid for the land to be leveled. With more fields, the yield per mu increased, and there was a surplus, so the villagers had money."

He also established a foundation to provide free education for any children in the village who go out to learn mechanical and auto repair.

"Now, when villagers are busy farming, they can easily plant the fields by renting an excavator, and the children who learn to drive machinery are also making money."

"He also funded several positions for the elderly, the infirm and disabled, who could earn several thousand yuan a month just by cleaning every day."

He walked up to the one-legged old man and asked, "Did you go to work today?"

The one-legged old man stood up and said sullenly, "We've already gone up, now we'll go up again."

After saying that, he picked up the bamboo basket placed next to the bench, leaned on a cane in one hand and held a pair of fire tongs in the other, and limped forward.

He walked over to the group, picked up a piece of trash from the ground with tongs, threw it into the bamboo basket behind him, and then continued walking forward.

Old Liu turned to look at everyone: "Look, he's taken care of everyone."

After a long silence, He Ling spoke up, "Aunt Xu's son is so kind."

Wang Feng nodded and said, "Yes, and he considered things very thoroughly."

Jiang Xinhai also said, "Everyone is taken care of, everyone has work to do, and everyone makes money."

There was one more thing they didn't say: This is much more reasonable than simply giving money to lazy people.

Old Liu pointed in another direction and said, "There's another one over there, let's go take a look."

The group hadn't gone far when they saw a woman feeding her daughter in the courtyard.

Old Liu pointed at her and said, "She had three children, her husband was electrocuted, and she was diagnosed with stomach cancer. It was Aunt Xu's son who paid for her medical expenses, she had surgery, and she recovered."

"Her three daughters' tuition and fees were all paid by Aunt Xu's son. Now her eldest daughter works as a caregiver in the city and sends 2000 yuan home every month."

Upon seeing Lao Liu, the woman smiled and nodded at him.

Old Liu called out to her, "Xu Hui, they want to ask Aunt Xu about her son!"

The woman put down her rice bowl, took her youngest daughter's hand, and ran over, saying, "That's my family's benefactor!"

Old Liu waved his hand and said, "Hey, you don't need to come over."

The woman kept saying, "That's an immense favor, one that I could never repay in my lifetime..."

"Alright, alright... Go feed the baby now, the baby is starving."

Old Liu led everyone away quickly, then turned back and whispered an explanation:

“I shouldn’t have called her that. Every time Aunt Xu’s son comes up, she talks about it for at least two hours.”

Old Liu led everyone to the edge of a pond, where the blue sky and white clouds were reflected on the water like a mirror.

"He also paid for the digging of this pond. The village committee rented the pond to the villagers, who raised fish and shrimp here. A portion of the income went into the village collective, so that the village collective would have money every year to distribute some welfare benefits and do things that benefit everyone."

He then pointed to the pristine white streetlights and said, "These solar streetlights are not ordinary streetlights. Each household has one in front of its door. The solar power not only supplies electricity to the streetlights, but also provides some surplus for residents' daily use, significantly reducing electricity bills."

"Not to mention these roads, guardrails, and roadside trees, all of which were paid for by Aunt Xu's son."

Old Liu rattled off all of this in one breath, as if reciting a familiar story.

When everyone arrived at the land rented by the production team, Old Liu pointed to the field and said:

“These three plots of land are the fields you rented. Aren’t they very flat? Aunt Xu’s son leveled them.”

It took everyone a long time to finally understand.

What?! What they see in this village... 80% of it was all bought with money from Aunt Xu's son!

At this point, the comments section was already buzzing with laughter.

"Best of the night: Aunt Xu's son."

"Wow, Aunt Xu's son is practically a god in this village! He does everything!"

"I feel like Aunt Xu's son is playing a simulation management game and developing this village."

"After all that, where is the address? I want to move to this village."

"Waaaaah, I'm so envious! I want to live in this village too, it feels so wonderful!"

"Life here is indeed like a paradise, but it was created by Aunt Xu's son."

……

Director Tian stared at the camera, a satisfied expression on his face.

The unexpected event actually made the show even better than he had imagined!

Just then, an older woman dressed in brightly colored clothes passed by and saw Old Liu talking passionately about Aunt Xu's son, and she looked disdainful.

"You keep bragging about that Chen family kid all the time, isn't it just because he gave you a lot of benefits?"

Chapter 83 Chen Ya is back

"You keep bragging about that Chen family kid all the time, isn't it just because he gave you a lot of benefits?"

The old lady's words, spoken at just the right volume, were picked up by the film crew.

Everyone in the live stream could hear it clearly.

Upon hearing what the older woman said, Old Liu's face flushed red and then turned pale. He pointed at her and said:

"Gao Cuizhi, don't make false accusations. Which eye of yours saw me accept any benefits?"

The woman passing by was named Gao Cuizhi. She was carrying a bundle of firewood. Upon hearing Old Liu's words, she threw down what she was holding and shouted:

"You didn't accept anything, but you and the village chief gave him that piece of land at the east end of the village to build a villa? Tell me honestly, did you take any money or not?"

Old Liu's face turned bright red as he said, "Confiscate it! Besides, that's not a villa, it's a farmhouse..."

"Agritainment? How many people actually come to stay during the whole year? They all come back on their own to enjoy themselves! Who would want to run an agritainment business in our run-down village?"

Old Liu patiently explained, "He wasn't there to enjoy himself; he was there to bring some customers to the agritainment business. He always paid for his stays, but the village collective, out of consideration for his contributions, refused to accept payment..."

Gao Cuizhi spat out words: "That sounds nice, but it's all because you colluded to steal our land and swindle money that should have been ours."

The old village chief stopped Old Liu and said to Gao Cuizhi:

"Xiao Gao, that's where you're wrong. You should speak from your conscience. Think about it, what was our village like before? What is it like now? If it weren't for that Chen boy contributing money and effort, would our village be what it is today?"

Gao Cuizhi sneered: "All I know is that the Chen family brat is living the high life, while we're still digging in the fields. What's wrong with me saying a few words to him?"

Old Liu shouted, "You're just jealous!"

Gao Cuizhi's voice rose eight octaves: "How am I jealous? That Chen family brat is the local tyrant here, he can't just shut people out!"

Old Liu clutched his chest, squatted on the edge of the asphalt road, and said dejectedly, "Heartbroken, heartbroken..."

Aunt Xu looked a little sad. She tugged at Old Liu's clothes and said:

"It's alright, don't argue with her. Only mediocre people are not envied. My son is innocent, and someone will understand."

Gao Cuizhi pointed at Aunt Xu and said, "Your son didn't even finish junior high school, and he never says a word about what he's doing outside. How did he become rich? If you don't want people to know, then don't do it in the first place. Everyone will be waiting to see your family make a fool of themselves sooner or later!"

Director Tian wished he could swallow a nitroglycerin pill at that moment.

The situation was going very well just now, but it has taken a sudden turn for the worse, and the program is now almost out of control.

He couldn't very well ask his staff to kick her out, so he could only tolerate Gao Cuizhi saying these things in front of the camera.

This led to a huge uproar in the live chat.

"Oh dear, what a disaster. They wanted to promote a local hero, but it turned out to be a village bully."

"You used to praise him like a saint, it was outrageous. Who would do these things if there wasn't some benefit in it?"

"What's wrong? You're willing to spend so much money on my family's village? I'd be willing to build you a villa if you wanted."

"Upstairs, he can build a villa in your village today, hire thugs tomorrow, and bully men and women the day after tomorrow."

"I really liked what that old lady said earlier: 'local tyrant.'"

"I just did the math. The investment in this village is at least 4000 million yuan. How did someone who dropped out of junior high school earn that much?"

"Stop talking, I suggest a thorough investigation."

……

"Ahem," Qin Yun Chu coughed a couple of times and stepped forward.

She asked Gao Cuizhi softly, "Auntie, tell me, what happened that made you feel like he was some kind of local tyrant?"

Gao Cuizhi counted on her fingers and said:

“Look, girl, my husband has been asking the village to dig a pond there for almost half a year, but the village committee just won’t agree. But then that guy said he wanted to build a villa, and they agreed immediately. Aren’t they in cahoots?”

The old village chief frowned and said, "We've studied that piece of land. It's backed by mountains and faces water, with a beautiful environment. It's more suitable for developing tourism than for digging ponds."

Gao Cuizhi curled her lip: "Beautiful environment? That's just a matter of your words. Oh well, you outnumber me, I can't argue with you."

Qin Yunchu said, "So, you're upset because the village didn't agree to give you that piece of land, but instead gave it to Aunt Xu's son?"

Gao Cuizhi didn't speak, but from her eyes, she knew that Qin Yunchu had hit the nail on the head.

In the live stream chat, the comments started arguing again:

"So she was jealous because she couldn't get the better deal herself?"

"The pond was dug with Aunt Xu's son's money, why should we dig it for you?"

"Without knowing the full story, I will not comment."

"I don't understand the procedures for using land in rural areas, but is it really okay to build a villa?"

"Everyone, please pay attention. The question now is, where did Aunt Xu's son get so much money? Please don't get distracted."

……

Qin Yunchu crossed his arms, preparing to continue questioning Gao Cuizhi.

Suddenly, someone called out from the other side of the field, "Sister-in-law Xu, your child is looking for you!"

Aunt Xu looked up in surprise: "My son is back?"

"Your son is back?"

Qin Yun Chu trembled upon hearing this.

Chen Ya is back?

Didn't I say he wasn't coming?

Upon hearing that Aunt Xu's son had returned, Gao Cuizhi quickly picked up the firewood on the ground and left in a flash.

Old Liu angrily shouted at her retreating back, "Hey, if you're unhappy, the person in question is here, go and talk to him face to face!"

Gao Cuizhi said without turning her head, "You outnumber me! I won't fight you!"

Old Liu shook his head and spat on the ground: "What kind of person is this!"

The old village chief patted him on the shoulder: "Don't hold it against her."

Wang Feng said, "Now that the person in question is here, if we have any questions, we can just ask him directly, and then we'll understand."

Jiang Xinhai's eyes lit up: "Yes, I'm also a little interested in this person."

Soon, everyone reached a consensus.

He Ling went over and helped Aunt Xu up, saying:

"Aunt Xu, may we go see your son together?"

"Great! That rascal, he didn't come back for a whole year, but he just happened to come back now, all thanks to you guys..."

He Ling's heart skipped a beat, and she turned around to exchange a glance with Wang Feng.

Wang Feng also looked at him meaningfully.
