Su Zhenping found a buyer in the county who knew the market well and sold the Lingzhi directly.
He transferred seventy thousand yuan to Wang Hao, and of course, since the buyer was connected by Su Zhenping, he also made so profit from the deal.
With this money, Wang Hao’s financial situation beca much easier, and he imdiately bought so fish and at to improve the family’s als, also sending so to Zheng Cailian.
Wang Hao had once promised to earn money to provide a better life for Zheng Cailian and her child, so he also gave her so money.
Zheng Cailian adamantly refused to take it, but couldn’t withstand Wang Hao’s sweet words and eventually accepted it reluctantly.
Whenever Wang Hao had free ti, he would study the nine-dragon tattoo on his body.
He had clearly felt the tattoo’s color deepen but still couldn’t fully control it, and considering the long growth cycle of the dicinal herbs, he needed to continue recovering his ability to promote the growth of the herbs.
However, he couldn’t afford to waste this period; now that he had the funds, he had to consider how to invest the money to generate more inco—that was the irrefutable truth.
After much thought, Wang Hao still stuck to his original idea, to set up greenhouses to grow vegetables!
He planned to grow durable and easy-to-store vegetables like radishes and potatoes, as well as so off-season vegetables, to sell to wholesalers in the city.
Chen Village hadn’t repaired its roads yet, and the condition was not good. The villagers could only take care of their basic necessities and had no extra money to contribute to road repairs. Furthermore, the governnt didn’t have any projects to support the village nor plans to fix the roads.
Fortunately, Chen Village was only about ten-plus kiloters from the county town, which could reduce transportation losses, and this would certainly be more profitable than planting rice.
No sooner said than done, Wang Hao imdiately got up to go to the county to buy greenhouse equipnt, but before he even reached the village entrance, he heard soone calling him; wasn’t that Wang Er from the village?
"Haozi, there’s big trouble! That village bully Zhou Mazi is causing trouble, they want to seize our land!" Wang Er ran over, panting.
"What happened?"
"Isn’t Zhou Mazi raising fish in the village? Now he wants to expand and is planning to take over the villagers’ good farmland to dig fish ponds. I heard they’ve taken a lot of your land as well, and right now several villagers are blocking him at the village head; I must hurry to inform the others."
"Damn, seizing land in broad daylight, are they bandits or what. Let’s go! I’ll join you in rallying people to confront him."
Wang Hao strode off angrily with Wang Xiaoer to gather other villagers.
Villagers depended on their little plots of land to provide for their families, and Zhou Mazi’s land grabbing was pushing them towards a desperate situation.
They absolutely could not let him succeed this ti!
Wang Hao rallied the villagers and went to the village head.
Upon arrival, Zhou Mazi was arguing loudly with a few villagers, flanked by a dozen or so burly n. Seeing reinforcents arrive, the older villagers stood up straighter, their spirits bolstered.
"Zhou Mazi, have you lost your conscience? Seizing land from us poor people, aren’t you afraid of divine retribution? If you take even a bit of my land today, I’ll fight you with my life!"
An old man clenched his fists, his teeth gritted as he glared furiously at Zhou Mazi and his group, his eyes nearly bleeding with rage.
"You damn old fossil, which eye of yours saw taking your land? The land belongs to the state, and the state has the final say. Now I’ve paid money to the state for this land, so get lost!"
Zhou Mazi said arrogantly, waving his hand to signal his followers who took a step forward, ready to block the villagers.
"Oh, I was wondering who it was, turns out it’s you, my defeated foe, barking shalessly here."
Wang Hao arrived with the villagers, his gaze sharp, an aura of nace about him.
"Even if it belongs to the state, it was allocated to us. What business do you have here causing trouble? Zhou Mazi, it’s best if you know your place; go back to where you ca from ASAP!"
Zhou Mazi flicked the remainder of his cigarette onto the ground and stamped it out with force. Turning around, he saw it was Wang Hao, who had injured him a few days before, and his rage deepened.
"It’s you, you little bastard? You’ve got so nerve showing your face in front of !"
"Get lost if you know what’s good for you; otherwise, I’ll beat you so hard you’ll be searching for your teeth on the ground like last ti," Wang Hao said with a cold laugh.
Zhou Mazi, reminded of the beating from that night, subconsciously stepped back at the sight of Wang Hao’s fierce eyes.
Actually, Zhou Mazi had long ago marked off the occupied land with li, ready to bring in an excavator.
When Wang Hao saw that his own land had also been marked by Zhou Mazi, he exploded with rage and roared at him.
"Remove your crap from my land imdiately!"
"What’s wrong, not happy about it? I’ve already bought this land from the governnt, it’s mine now," Zhou Mazi laughed loudly on the side.
"I think it’s you who should be rolling out!"
"I really think you’ve lost all sha! If you don’t withdraw today, believe it or not, I’ll beat you so hard you’ll be searching for your teeth on the ground."
Wang Hao couldn’t care less at this point; soone was stealing the bread out of his bowl, and he was ready to risk it all to win it back. The villagers behind him followed and stepped forward with him.
"I think you’re tired of living, go, kill him for !"
Zhou Mazi was not accustod to being slandered in front of so many people, he signaled to the strong n beside him to teach Wang Hao a lesson.
The muscular n had fierce glares and pulled out small knives from their waists, slowly approaching Wang Hao.
"The village head is here!"
Just as the situation was about to erupt into violence, Village Head Zhao Youquan arrived.
"Let’s see who is causing trouble here?" With a fierce shout from Zhao Youquan, everyone took a step back.
"Village Head, Zhou Mazi is leading people to take over the land. You’ve co at the right ti; please stand up for us!" An elderly villager pleaded with a pained expression to the Village Head.
With the arrival of the Village Head, all the villagers were filled with hope, thinking that with an official present, even Zhou Mazi with all his might wouldn’t dare to ss around.
"Zhou Mazi, what’s all this about?"
Upon seeing Zhou Mazi and the others, Zhao Youquan thought about how he had accepted their bribes over the land affair and couldn’t let the villagers find out.
Besides, Zhou Mazi had backing; otherwise, would they have been able to act so arrogantly in the village without him turning a blind eye?
"Village Head Zhao, my uncle has shares in this land, and we’ve paid everything in full. You personally promised us there would be no problems," Zhou Mazi whispered into Zhao Youquan’s ear.
Zhao Youquan’s face turned green. Zhou Mazi’s uncle was Zhou Kun, the deputy director of the county environntal protection agency. He had control over all the environntal policies in the county, and Zhao Youquan was hoping to leverage this connection for his own benefits. He definitely couldn’t afford to offend him.
"Selling the land? When did this happen? How co none of us knew about it!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Hao stared intently at Zhao Youquan.
This old bastard was already squeezing the labor out of the villagers, but now he had even sold their land; this was sothing Wang Hao couldn’t tolerate.
"Yes, the land has indeed all been contracted by Zhou Mazi to raise fish. It was all decided through village committee discussions. After all, fish farming can promote the village’s economic developnt. Plus, there will be a fish shared with everyone at the end of the year, so there’s no issue. Everyone, go back ho!"
Zhao Youquan said this earnestly but was too guilt-ridden to et anyone’s gaze, for fear they’d see sothing amiss.
But the villagers present started to murmur among themselves.
"Village Head, you haven’t taken a bribe from that damned Zhou Mazi, have you? You’re really speaking up for him," Wang Hao stood among the villagers, angrily questioning him first.
Zhao Youquan was struck on a sore spot and was instantly at a loss for words, "You... don’t spout nonsense here."
"Zhou Mazi is a cold-hearted and ungrateful beast, and you, as the head of the village, are colluding with these scumbags."
"Wang Hao, don’t get cocky! Watch out, or I’ll kill you!" Seeing Wang Hao still creating trouble at this ti, Zhou Mazi couldn’t help but curse out loud.
Wang Hao’s eyes narrowed; there was no way he would let them occupy the land. If they wouldn’t allow him to farm, then nobody would.
Thinking this, he ran to the edge of the field and destroyed the white lines Zhou Mazi had just drawn...
