Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life-Chapter 243 - 242: Is the Village About to Hit It Big?
Stepping out of the door, Lin Wanwan casually took a photo of the village road and posted it on her Moments: "All the demons and monsters in this world are nothing but paper tigers, easy to defeat."
Feeling a bit relieved after posting, Lin Wanwan let out a breath of stale air and started to walk towards the village road.
Gong Keyi yelled, trying to stop her, asking her to clear things up before leaving.
But since he had just been thrown to the ground by Lin Wanwan yesterday, he didn’t dare to approach her himself and could only bark uselessly from the side.
The elderly couple from the Gong family tried to grab Lin Wanwan’s arm, but she sidestepped.
Even though they weren’t her biological grandparents, their age alone, over eighty, meant Lin Wanwan couldn’t really do anything to them; she couldn’t berate or touch them.
All she could do was step back to avoid being entangled by them.
At that moment, Lin Zhantian and his wife, who were staying at a hotel in town, arrived at the entrance of the village road by taxi.
Both of them had bruised faces with some colorful iodine stains, a splash of hues indeed.
"Wanwan, we’re here," Xie Yuanying shouted after getting out of the car.
Lin Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief; the wicked will deal with the wicked, let the two sides bicker then.
She immediately ran towards Lin Zhantian, unusually enthusiastic as she called out, "Uncle~"
"What are you doing? Bullying the Lin Family because you think we’re defenseless?" Lin Zhantian quickly approached, shouting at everyone.
Taking the chance, Lin Wanwan ran onto the village road, heading east without stopping.
The matter of the rites today was done; the rest was insignificant. She would sit down with the Gong family again at some point to show courtesy to Village Chief Wu. The courtesy has been given, but if they don’t want it, then goodbye.
The elderly couple from the Gong family was held back by Lin Zhantian and his wife, and no one else dared or could stop Lin Wanwan.
After all, just a few minutes ago, Lin Wanwan had just smashed a table to pieces!
But there were still many people following behind Lin Wanwan, the long village road crowded with people, even leaving the fields unplowed.
Everyone’s face seemed to say one thing: the fight isn’t over yet, why isn’t it continuing?
"Alright! Stop arguing!" Village Chief Wu abruptly shouted from the crowd, then stepped forward while taking a call on the phone, "Yes, yes, oh, oh."
Village Chief Wu was talking with a broad smile, just from his expression you could tell that the person on the other end was probably someone of importance; otherwise, there was no way a serious middle-aged man would be smiling so brightly.
After finishing the call, Village Chief Wu said to the people around him: "Not farming today, are you? Great, now that there are so many people, I have good news: the Times Group plans to come and inspect for an agricultural park in the village. If it works out, everyone’s children working outside can come back and work in the village!"
Currently, the village mostly retained the middle-aged and elderly, and left-behind children; the robust adults were seldom seen anymore, either having moved to town or gone to work in big cities elsewhere, only returning for Qingming Festival and New Year’s.
"Is it the Times Group from Hai City Times Square?" an elder in his fifties or sixties asked.
"Yes, that’s the one, which else could it be."
"Ah, really, Village Chief? Wasn’t it said before that they were going to invest in a village near West Lake? Has it changed to ours now? Will we have to relocate?"
"How could it be fake? Our village is close to the highway, they find it convenient!" Village Chief Wu was beaming with joy.
Not to mention, if the Times Group really invests in an agricultural park in the village, just the housing construction alone would allow everyone to earn quite a bit of money.
Anyway, as long as things get rolling, whether those corporate bigwigs make money or not, he, as village chief, will definitely benefit.
Immediately ignoring the trivial matters of the Gong family, he turned to Gong Dexiong and said, "Ah Xing, quickly persuade your parents and older brother. What’s there to argue about? If their daughter wants to make a tomb for her parents, what’s the big deal, it’s her business.
Our village has agreed to this; as long as she can pay, the spot for a tomb can be given to her.
Now stop arguing, because people from the Times Group and the town are coming to inspect soon, don’t ruin the good things for our village."
"No more arguing, no more arguing, everyone quickly bring out brooms and sweep the trash off the village road in front of your homes!" Someone in the crowd responded.
The villagers, hearing this, actively dispersed to get brooms from their homes.
Lin Wanwan also heard this but didn’t care. She was busy using her phone to order a ride.
The online ride-hailing service in the rural area was very slow; it had been several minutes, and she was still waiting.
Finally, she got a ride, but when she looked at the map, it was still several kilometers away.
Lin Wanwan now didn’t want to stay here a minute longer. Later she would directly have Tan Lv come over and use money to settle things with the village chief, letting him deal with the problematic villagers, and then choose an auspicious day to bury her parents.
Lin Wanwan and Village Chief Wu both waited, one busy instructing villagers to sweep the village road quickly, and the other waiting for the online ride.
Both stared eagerly at the bridgehead entering from the east side of the village.
As time ticked away, a slow-moving Audi drove in, and Lin Wanwan, seeing the logo, lost interest, knowing it wasn’t her ride.
Meanwhile, Village Chief Wu was already excited because the Audi’s license plate began with Hai A! This was a car from Hai City, definitely from the Times Group!
At the same moment, the phone in the village chief’s hand rang again.
"Yes, yes, yes, this is where a crowd of people is standing."
A moment later, the car approached, the window rolled down, and the person inside looked at Village Chief Wu and said, "Old Wu, get in the car, let’s go to the village committee together."
"Oh, alright! Is it Director He who personally accompanied you here? Hard work, hard work."
The villagers excitedly followed the Audi towards the village center, heading to the village committee.
Lin Wanwan stepped aside, looking towards the direction of the bridgehead, occasionally opening the ride-hailing app to see where her ride was.
"Vroom vroom vroom—"
A loud roar erupted at the village head, followed by a captivating shadow of a car speeding over.
Everyone’s gaze involuntarily shifted to it.
A sleek matte blue sports car glided over, and even though the people present were mostly middle-aged and elderly rural folks who didn’t know much about cars, they could still feel the overwhelming luxury emanating from it!
"Whose car is this? Amazing, must be over a million," someone in the crowd marveled.
"Hah! Country bumpkin!" The only other young person besides Lin Wanwan present, Gong Keyi, sneered, "This is a Bugatti, even with tax, the cheapest in China starts at two hundred million! A million? Haha!"
The person laughed at wasn’t bothered, just inhaled sharply and sighed, "Wow, for what kind of thing, the cheapest starts at two hundred million?"
The crowd, terrified by such an expensive car, immediately stepped aside, afraid of damaging what they couldn’t afford to compensate.
The sports car stopped under everyone’s gaze, the door opened, and in the warm sunlight, a tall, handsome figure emerged, as if a deity had descended.
In a split second, everything around became merely a backdrop for the man; even the Audi carrying the village’s hopes was ignored.
What does it mean to be overwhelmingly grand? At this moment, everyone had a clear idea in their minds.
The man circled the car, opened the door, and smiled faintly at someone in the crowd: "Wanwan, get in the car."
