Everyone's faces turned red, and the mockery that was on the tip of their tongues had to be swallowed back. Especially those who had mocked Er Zhu, their faces were flushed as if they had been slapped hundreds of times!
Li Xiaoming gasped and looked at the dozens of livestock, then at the brand-new truck, and a storm of shock surged in his heart!
These two items together must be over two million!
He knew Er Zhu was rich, but he never expected him to be this rich!
Even more importantly, Er Zhu's face was calm, as if he didn't even care about these two million!
No wonder Li Li was so arrogant; his backer was truly powerful!
If he were Li Li, let alone planning to run for office, he would have declared his intentions long ago!
"Boss, it's all loaded. You can get in the truck now."
The driver confirmed the reins of the last animal and wiped the sweat from his face, looking respectfully at Er Zhu.
Er Zhu didn't speak, just nodded slightly, and then pulled Uncle Liu towards the truck.
Throughout the entire process, he didn't even glance at the guests, as if they simply didn't exist!
As the truck drove further and further away, the guests finally let out a sigh of relief, and a hint of envy flickered in their shocked eyes.
Uncle Liu must have accumulated virtue for generations to have such a capable villager!
"I remember, his name seems to be Er Zhu, and he's a fool!"
Suddenly, someone in the crowd seemed to recall something and exclaimed.
But his words did not provoke discussion from the crowd; instead, it made everyone quieter and even more shocked.
These people were actually not as rich as a fool, which was even more humiliating!
The speaker seemed to realize something and quickly covered his mouth, tiptoeing to watch the truck that had almost become a dot.
Er Zhu was unaware that the guests had already learned of his identity, or rather, he didn't care at all.
Uncle Liu looked at the receding scenery and suddenly seemed to think of something, cautiously asking tentatively:
"Er Zhu, you bought this truck new, right? How much did it cost?"
Er Zhu didn't speak, just nodded calmly and replied, "Not expensive, over a million."
As soon as he said this, Uncle Liu's face was aghast, his crow's feet almost stretching open!
Over a million and it's not expensive?
These people had never seen so much money in their lives!
In just one hour, Er Zhu had spent over two million, he was truly wealthy and powerful!
"This is all small money. Once our farm is built, we'll earn it back in half a year."
Seeing Uncle Liu's face change like a chameleon's, Er Zhu smiled slightly and said casually.
Uncle Liu didn't speak, he swallowed with shock and looked out the window.
Small money?
Er Zhu was truly rich, for two million to be considered small money!
If this money were converted to cash, it could kill someone!
Uncle Liu returned home with a complicated mood, while Er Zhu first placed the livestock on the back mountain.
Although the farm hadn't opened yet, there were already villagers living on the back mountain. After all, the back mountain still held the assets of Niu Ermang.
After settling the livestock, Er Zhu eagerly returned home.
In fact, the livestock could have been purchased at a lower price, but that would have wasted a lot of time. Between Li Mei and time, Er Zhu would naturally choose the former.
A few more peaceful days passed, and Uncle Liu found Er Zhu again with a sheepish smile.
"Er Zhu, you still need someone to draw the design plans for the villagers of Lin Yuan Village."
Uncle Liu said, smiling awkwardly, as if afraid Er Zhu would refuse.
Not many villagers from Lin Yuan Village were willing to move over, and if the houses were not good, then even fewer people would come.
This responsibility was too great, and he, an old man, couldn't bear it.
"Yes, leave it to me."
Er Zhu nodded slightly and said slowly.
"Then I won't bother you. There are still a lot of things to do on the back mountain."
Seeing Er Zhu nod, Uncle Liu's hanging heart finally relaxed, and he prepared to leave.
The farm opening and the village merger were proceeding simultaneously. Although there were helpers, he was still busy as a bee, and sometimes he was so busy that he wished he could hand over the position of village chief to Er Zhu immediately!
His old bones would eventually be worn out!
Although Uncle Liu complained in his heart, he was also happy at the same time. The feeling was sweeter than eating honey!
Thinking of the prosperous life ahead, Uncle Liu was filled with energy, and his complaints instantly disappeared. His steps quickened.
Er Zhu shook his head with a smile and turned on the computer beside him.
"Er Zhu, take a break and eat some fruit..."
As soon as he opened the program, Er Zhu heard Li Mei's voice. Before he could react, Li Mei had already entered the room.
"You can design blueprints? The design for the Chinese medicine factory was drawn by you!"
Li Mei was stunned. She glanced at the computer screen, her eyes widening!
She knew Er Zhu was capable, but she never expected him to be so capable!
He knew medicine, practiced martial arts, and could draw design plans...
My heavens, Er Zhu was a true all-rounder!
"Er Zhu, you're amazing!"
Li Mei put down the fruit plate, patting Er Zhu as she shouted excitedly, her voice filled with emotion. She was so excited that she didn't know what else to say!
"Sister Mei... Sister Mei..."
Er Zhu looked speechlessly at Li Mei, who had become frenzied with excitement. Her small fists didn't hurt, but she couldn't keep hitting him like this.
"Oh, right, don't let anyone know!"
Li Mei was ecstatic and suddenly seemed to remember something. She took a deep breath, trying her best to remain calm.
If others found out about this, it would mean that everyone would know Er Zhu had recovered his senses!
Er Zhu had repeatedly warned her that this must not be revealed to anyone!
"Sister Mei, you should go out first. I have important business to attend to."
Seeing that Li Mei had finally calmed down, Er Zhu smiled slightly and gestured towards the door.
"Okay, I'll go out now. I'll keep watch for you."
Li Mei nodded repeatedly, and as if she had thought of something, she quickly left after saying this.
A hint of indulgence flashed in Er Zhu's eyes. He shook his head speechlessly.
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed, and it was finally the day of the farm's opening.
Er Zhu looked at the various livestock and crops on the back mountain, a smile appearing on his lips.
The future of Shiliu Village would definitely get better and better!
Dong dong dong!
Qiang qiang qiang!
Just as Er Zhu was sighing with emotion, the sound of gongs and drums came from behind him. Er Zhu turned his head and saw villagers in festive attire walking towards him.
They were joyfully dancing the Yangko, their faces beaming with happiness!
The sounds of drums, gongs, and laughter echoed across the back mountain, lingering for a long time!
Er Zhu seemed to be enveloped by this enthusiastic atmosphere and laughed heartily with the villagers.
Today was the happiest day since he came to Shiliu Village!
