Switched Marriage The Coddled Little Wife novel Chapter 427

Chapter 427: Chapter 427 Pretending to be Mysterious

Village Chief Sun’s broadcast through the loudspeaker had the same effect as they had anticipated - not good.

The success of the vegetable greenhouses in Qin Family Village was based on the villagers’ trust in Lin Chuxia, as well as the fact that the entire investment for the greenhouse was shouldered by Lin Chuxia.

Village Chief Sun had been broadcasting for half an hour, yet not a single person was willing to plant, and there were even a few who, taking advantage of their age and seniority, tried to persuade him to plant other types of fruit trees instead.

"I know these saplings are all something your third son brought back. It’s good for young people to have drive, but as elders, we must also keep a lookout for the kids, we can’t let them run wild."

"Exactly Qiangzi, I heard your eldest and second sons made some money from chicken farming last year, it wouldn’t be that the third son is using the money they earned to buy these saplings, right? If they end up losing money, won’t that cause conflict among the brothers?"

"That’s right, Uncle Sun, it’s one thing for you to spoil your son, but now you want the whole village to indulge in this nonsense with you, aren’t you just afraid that your third son will lose all the money and you want everyone else to help share the burden? That’s not right, other families don’t have the spare cash like your family does."

"Indeed, you have good land and yet you ask us to plant trees, yellow peach trees at that. If they really don’t sell, isn’t that scamming people?"

...........

There were all sorts of comments, and some of them were getting nastier.

Village Chief Sun took all this in but didn’t get too upset, he even responded with a smile.

"This matter is entirely voluntary anyway, if you’re not willing, of course, I won’t insist. Now that everyone understands the situation, let’s head back. I need to make some further plans. When work resumes on Monday, I’ll have to visit the County Forestry Bureau. With the village planting so many trees, the Forestry Bureau should send a technician over."

Village Chief Sun walked home cheerfully with his hands behind his back, unlike someone burdened by a prodigal son.

Someone sneered, "Putting on airs. Can the technicians from the Forestry Bureau come just because he says so?"

"Right, I think the village chief is just putting on a brave face. I heard that Sun Laosan lost his decent job in the county and got fired by his superiors. He’s too embarrassed to come back to the village to farm, so he’s resorted to planting yellow peaches here out of some misguided idea."

"It looks like the village chief is swallowing his pride. As for Sun Laosan, he’s of such an age and still without a partner. Da Jun is two years younger than him, right? And his son is almost running around."

"Isn’t that the truth."

...........

On the outskirts of the crowd, Lin Jiadong, who had just gone to the small store to buy a pen refill, listened to the villagers’ discussions, his eyes flashed, and he walked away from the crowd.

As soon as he walked through his house’s door, he heard the sound of a child crying from inside, causing Lin Jiadong’s brow to involuntarily furrow.

Indeed, upon entering, he saw that his eldest sister had come again.

His seven or eight-month-old nephew, whom she raised thin as a rail, resembling a little monkey, was all skin and bones and did nothing but cry all day long.

At the moment, he was being held and cooed by their mother.

His eldest sister sat on the edge of the kang bed, pulling a long face as if someone owed her a lot of money.

Lin Jiadong took one look at the door, then turned to go back to do his homework.

Lin Jiayi spoke out unhappily, "Are you blind or mute? Can’t you see someone has come to visit? Don’t you know how to speak?"

Lin Jiadong unapologetically responded, "I would like to treat you as a relative, but you run home at every chance, more often than I do, what’s left to say?"

Lin Jiayi immediately widened her eyes, "What do you mean Lin Jiadong? I come back to my parents’ house and they don’t say anything, are you expressing disdain for me?"
