"Come, come, come in and sit down!" The village chief immediately invited them to come in and sit down.
After sitting down, Chen Yang expressed his thoughts.
"You said... we need running water!" The village chief's eyes lit up when he heard this.
Every village chief knows that this matter will definitely bring more benefits than harm to his village. "That's great, I absolutely agree."
"Village Chief, it's not enough for you to agree alone." San'er said beside him, "This matter requires the consent of many people in our village. Let's do this. Call the others over and let Brother Chen talk to them face to face.
If everyone agrees, then it will be done."
"Okay, I'll call someone right away!"
The village chief was very fast, and it didn't take long for him to call everyone over.
It didn't take long for the place to be surrounded.
Everyone knows Chen Yang.
After all, Chen Yang appeared in their village twice, once commanding a big snake, and the other time asking them to plant peach trees.
Moreover, Chen Yang’s current name is very common in the town.
Everyone was also a little curious, wondering why Chen Yang came to see them.
"Everyone, sit down and listen to me..." Seeing that the number of people was almost there, Chen Yang said, "Actually, I don't have much to do, I just want to build a water plant..."
Chen Yang told them about his village's plan.
As soon as this plan was announced, the village exploded.
"The village also has running water. This is no small matter!"
"Yes, although we don't have to spend money, water does cost money!"
"I think our well water is quite delicious!"
…
These people were talking, but Chen Yang listened carefully and found that this was completely different from Shibu Village.
The people in Shibu Village were in favor of this matter, but here they were not in favor of it at all.
"Everyone, listen to me!" San'er also heard it and said angrily, "What are you doing? Brother Chen has taken care of everything. It's just that drinking water costs money. This is a matter of course.
Why do you seem to be such a big loss to each of you?"
"Then it doesn't cost us money to carry water ourselves!" a villager replied.
San'er was so angry that she almost went forward and beat him, "Nonsense, you have to suffer from carrying water yourself. The tap water goes directly to your house. Do you want to spend money?"
Everyone fell silent immediately, and no one spoke anymore.
"If you have any concerns, you can tell them." Chen Yang asked them.
But no one spoke.
"You still don't know what is good and what is bad?" San'er cursed angrily, pointing at the villagers, "I'm telling you, you just don't want to change, right? Brother Chen is willing to come over and invest, which will improve everyone's lives.
You guys are good, everyone seems to want to get your money..."
"I don't want it anyway!" A villager stood up, patted his butt and turned around to leave.
San'er cursed loudly and wanted to go over.
Chen Yang had quick eyes and quick hands and grabbed him, "What are you doing?"
San'er was extremely angry, "Brother Chen, look at his attitude."
"Stop making trouble!" Chen Yang was so angry that he glared at him and said, "Are you crazy? Do you think you are a gangster?"
San'er calmly stopped, but was still a little unconvinced.
"Tell me, why don't you want to do it?" Chen Yang asked them pleasantly, "We have already calculated that the water consumption per person per month is only about ten yuan at most, which is actually not high."
"Boss Chen, we are not you. You have money every month, but we don't." A villager lowered his head and said, "There are several people in our family, and our monthly water bill costs hundreds of dollars.
But it’s also money.”
Many people nodded.
Chen Yang was stunned, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.
"As for the Shitou family that you left just now, you said that there are only seven people in his family. The two old ones can no longer do anything. There are three children at home. Even if they have the strength at home, there is no place to sell them.
"It's okay if you ask him to carry his own water, but if you ask him to spend dozens of yuan a month to buy water, of course he won't want to." A villager said there.
This time, even their village chief fell silent.
Such extreme cases may be rare, but they are not rare either.
People who are in a slightly better situation than Shitou's family may not be willing to spend money to buy water.
Chen Yang understood immediately.
People in Shibu Village are willing to pay to buy water because they have liquid money.
They can earn several thousand dollars a month just by raising chickens, so of course they are willing to spend dozens of dollars to solve the problem of drinking water.
But they don’t have it in Leshui Village!
Still so poor, still so poor that there is no way to escape.
"Boss Chen, I'm sorry!" The village chief was also a little embarrassed, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes, but he just sighed and then said, "This is the situation in our village, and everyone is indeed
Poor, I know you are determined to solve this kind of thing for us, but let’s forget it..."
"Why forget it?" Chen Yang suddenly looked at him and asked slowly, "We are just poor. Who doesn't want to live a good life? In this case, let's solve the problem of poverty, and they will
You agreed, right?"
The village chief smiled bitterly and said, "Boss Chen, our Leshui Village is not like your Taohua Village, which has such good natural conditions. There is no way for us to develop tourism here..."
"Does Shibu Village know?" Chen Yang said, "Their village now raises chickens and the business is good. They are cooperating with me. Their village has been lifted out of poverty. I went to their village before I came here, and they are willing to pretend
It’s water.”
There was a glint in the village chief's eyes, but it soon dimmed again.
The whole town is almost aware of the fact that Shibu Village has made a fortune by raising chickens.
I don’t know how many villages are secretly envious. Shibu Village is so lucky. They cooperated with Chen Yang and everyone made a little fortune.
"Village Chief, let's go find the stone just now and see what his house looks like." Chen Yang was determined to do this and stood up immediately, "I really don't
I believe it, I, Chen Yang, can’t do this, let’s go, we must solve the matter today!”
So the village chief took Chen Yang and San'er to Shitou's home.
Shitou is actually less than forty years old, but he is just tired all the time and doesn't keep his appearance clean, so he looks older than he actually is.
When he went back, he saw a woman asking him, "Why did you come back so quickly? The village chief asked you to go to a meeting. What did he say?"
"Tell me, what can I say? It's all about money!" Shitou said seriously, "It's hard to live with money, so how can you still have money to connect to tap water?"
Just as he finished speaking, he heard coughing outside the door.
When Shitou took a look, he realized that it was the village chief and several others who were coming. He immediately turned around and went into the house.
"Village Chief, San'er, why are you here? This is... Boss Chen, right?" Shitou's wife had no choice but to come out to greet her.
