Switched Marriage: The Coddled Little Wife-Chapter 493: The Lucky Star of Qin Family Village

"I heard that the treatment at Xiyang Food Factory is really good, the basic salary is 50 yuan a month, and if you work well, there are bonuses. There’s also overtime pay. I have a distant cousin working at Xiyang Food Factory. Last month, their factory had increased sales in the south, and they worked overtime for half a month. Although it was tiring, the total salary, overtime, and bonuses all added up to more than a hundred, matching the salary of a cadre."

"Moreover, I heard that Xiyang Food Factory doesn’t easily hire people, and they primarily recruit from Qin Family Village. It’s not easy for outsiders like us to get a job there."

...

The crowd fell quiet for a moment, and then someone suggested, "Then we also need to clarify things; we can’t be sheep led to the slaughter."

"Right, we must find out clearly. We’re older, but with age comes rich work experience. Why shouldn’t they hire us?"

"Let’s go and ask."

......

Lin Chuxia is not concerned about any disputes among the workers at Ancheng Food Factory. Right now, she is sitting in the large office of Qin Family Village, listening to Village Chief Qin and a group of village cadres discuss development issues in Qin Family Village.

In the past few years, Qin Family Village has developed quite a few industries, including profitable chicken farms and pig farms, which led the villagers to consider using this money for meaningful communal projects.

The first thought was to build roads.

As the saying goes, if you want to be rich, build roads first.

Although Qin Family Village is favorably located and is actually a well-off urban village, it is still a village.

Currently, the development in Ancity County is just so-so. The three main roads are all small asphalt roads leading to various villages.

The village plans to connect these roads.

Moreover, with the vegetable market at the entrance of Qin Family Village taking on the scale of a wholesale market, with people and vehicles coming and going, a decent road is necessary.

Especially after a rain in summer, it’s really not easy to walk.

Village Chief Qin specifically called Lin Chuxia over not to involve her in the road construction project but for something else.

"When Technician He left, he mentioned the autumn greenhouse vegetables. Now the hot season is almost over. The village held a meeting and counted that quite a few people are eager to grow autumn greenhouse vegetables. Currently, the situation is that the greenhouses built in the spring can still be used after a bit of cleanup, without much investment needed. However, many people initially built the greenhouses in partnership with others, and by autumn, they want to have their own, some families even want two. Although the greenhouses from spring made a bit of money, building new ones is still a bit strenuous."

Lin Chuxia nodded; she understood the situation without needing Village Chief Qin to elaborate.

Initially, the spring greenhouses were something she supported everyone in building. Contracts were signed, and when the greenhouses started earning money, a portion was used to repay the capital invested.

Lin Chuxia’s side had already tabulated that the investment in the spring greenhouses had gradually been recouped after the greenhouse vegetables hit the market.

Whether it was the investment in the greenhouses or the credit at the agricultural store, the villagers of Qin Family Village conscientiously repaid bit by bit according to the initial agreement.

Especially the vegetable greenhouses area, Lin Chuxia initially didn’t intend to make a profit from this, but to her surprise, not only did the Qin Family Village’s vegetable greenhouses develop smoothly, but the sales were also strong.

As a result, adhering to the initial contract not only made the villagers a small profit, but Lin Chuxia also earned revenue from the vegetable station.

The money from the vegetable station was accounted for by Wang Cheng and given to her. Recently, Lin Chuxia bought a house in Rong City with this money.

"Originally I thought that, in the autumn when we build greenhouses, the village could support part of it. But after doing the calculations, if we support the villagers, there won’t be enough money to build the roads," Village Chief Qin was a bit embarrassed to broach the subject of seeking investments.

Lin Chuxia straightforwardly said, "Building roads is important, Uncle Qin, you tell the villagers, the policy for the autumn greenhouses will be the same as the spring greenhouses. Xiyang can support everyone, still according to the spring contract. Those who are interested can go and sign the contract with Wang Cheng."

Village Chief Qin slapped his thigh immediately, "Okay, I’ll go back and tell the villagers right away. Lin, you are truly the lucky star of our Qin Family Village."

"Uncle Qin, you’re too kind, this is all part of my duty," Lin Chuxia saw that the village didn’t bring up other matters, so she took the initiative to bring up another topic, "Additionally, Uncle Qin, about the market at the entrance of our village, I’d like to consult with the village about managing it more formally, what do you think?"

It’s not that the village chief didn’t want to mention it, but initially when Lin Chuxia’s people built the vegetable station at the village entrance, it was to facilitate the villagers in selling their vegetables. Whether it’s the vegetable station at the village entrance or the market that has developed from it, both can be credited to Lin Chuxia’s people.

Now hearing Lin Chuxia mentioning this, the village chief’s eyes also brightened, glanced at the person next to her, then said, "Go ahead."

Lin Chuxia brought Wang Cheng today, regarding the market management, Wang Cheng drafted a constitution the other day, and had shown it to Lin Chuxia before coming, who felt there was no issue.

She didn’t beat around the bush and let Wang Cheng speak directly.

Wang Cheng first handed the prepared materials to the village chief, while explaining to the others, "Our village entrance sees a significant daily flow of people, and the wholesale market has reached a substantial scale. We are asking the village to send people to assist in managing the market order and also to establish a paid service for the previous sanitation issues, and to collect market management fees. Of course, this fee applies only to outsiders. For our villagers of Qin Family Village, whether buying or selling vegetables, all fees are waived. Additionally, regarding the use of the management fees, aside from being used for the wholesale market-management, the remaining revenue will let Qin Family Village keep 50%."

With Wang Cheng’s words, not only the village chief but also the other village cadres sat up straighter.

They, being market farmers themselves, of course knew about the practice of paying management fees when selling vegetables at markets.

Whether at a fair or in the county’s night market, a management fee is always a steady income.

If their Qin Family Village wholesale market also standardized the collection of fees, then wouldn’t the village have an additional source of income?

Now, the daily influx of people buying and selling vegetables at their village entrance isn’t small. If they really started to collect management fees...

"Lin, if we really start collecting fees, won’t they stop coming to our village to sell vegetables?"

After the village chief spoke, the others also looked over.

Lin Chuxia smiled and said, "There will definitely be such cases, but I don’t think this will stop the development of Qin Family Village’s vegetable wholesale market. We have the resources, Brother Wang can contact trucks to buy vegetables. As long as the vegetables have good sales channels, there’s no worry about no one coming, and once there are more people selling vegetables, those looking to make a profit by reselling won’t be few."

Village Chief finally laughed, "Alright, we’ll listen to you this time."

"Since Uncle Qin is listening to us, the village needs to give full support to the wholesale market. First of all, just like Uncle Qin said about the road, the market area must be prioritized, and there’s also the lighting issue, the market needs to be equipped with lighting fixtures. Additionally, depending on the situation, whether the land needs to be expanded, and when there are more people, it’s best to build a row of simple rooms next to the market to rent out as snack stalls..."
