Clap clap clap...

Applause thundered and lasted for several minutes before stopping.

At this moment, almost all the men and women, young and old, in Liuhe Village, were immensely grateful to Chen Yang.

At this moment, everyone's heart was without a trace of dissatisfaction, only moved and grateful.

"I knew it, Yang Zi is a kid who wouldn't betray us; he only helps us live a good life!"

"Our Liuhe Village is truly blessed to have such a child like Yang Zi, it's the blessing accumulated over generations in our village!"

...

The scene was filled with incessant exclamation, all praising Chen Yang.

As for Widow Wei who had spoken sarcastically, she was extremely embarrassed, feeling as if she could disappear on the spot.

"Widow Wei, what do you have to say now? You can't still claim that Yang Zi is deceiving us, can you?" Now it was Wang Hong's turn to have the upper hand and mock her.

Hearing Wang Hong's teasing, Widow Wei was mortified and had no ground to stand on.

Not only Wang Hong, but other villagers also cast unfriendly glances at her.

In an instant, Widow Wei became the target of everyone's criticism.

Everyone's gaze towards her changed.

"I... I just..."

Widow Wei stammered, unable to muster a single rebuttal for a long time.

Seeing her like this, Wang Hong didn't plan to let her off so easily, continuing to sneer, "Right, didn't you say Yang Zi is cheating you? Then why don't you just give up your shares, have Yang Zi return your land, and you return the money to Yang Zi? I think Yang Zi would definitely give it back to you."

"Hahaha, yes, when your family initially gave the land to Yang Zi, you received a fair amount of money. If you really think Yang Zi is cheating you, you should ask Yang Zi to return it. I estimate Yang Zi would agree."

Other villagers around also teased with laughter.

Widow Wei's face turned red with embarrassment.

Earlier, Wu Kexin had explained the benefits of land shares very clearly.

Anyone can understand that land shares are definitely advantageous.

Although the Gu Family offered hundreds of thousands in a lump sum, that was a buyout; if something wrong happens in the future, there will be nothing to live on.

Therefore, she certainly wouldn't act impulsively by choosing to return the money and reclaim the land.

"I... I was just impulsive before, I didn't mean anything else. Now that the village head has made things so clear, as a member of the village, of course, I can't be unsociable, I won't back out." Widow Wei blushed and reluctantly squeezed out this sentence after a long time.

Such self-contradictory words naturally sparked laughter and disdain among the villagers.

But no one further criticized her.

She was just a widow, quarreling with her wouldn't bring any benefits, and forcing her to return money and land would ultimately only hurt her children.

So Wang Hong didn't continue to aggressively humiliate her, and instead, turned to discuss the matter with others.

After a round of discussions, the villagers unanimously came to a conclusion.

To return the money Chen Yang initially paid for their land lease.

This gesture from everyone left Wu Kexin, standing on the steps, quite astonished.

Because she never anticipated such a situation would arise, and for a moment, didn't know what to do.

Chen Yang always stayed inside the room without coming out.

Because he wasn't the appropriate person to explain this matter directly.

However, he constantly observed the situation outside.

Every move outside, he saw clearly, including the argument between Wang Hong and Widow Wei.

Originally, with things explained clearly, he wouldn't have come out, but he never expected such an unexpected turn.

This forced him to step forward.

"Everyone, I appreciate your goodwill, but there is no need to return the money. Let it be your subsidy for trusting me." Chen Yang stepped out from the room and said to the villagers.

As soon as they saw Chen Yang come out, everyone flocked towards him.

"That's not acceptable, Yang Zi. You're already planning to give us shares, how can we still take your money? Isn't this taking advantage of you? We can't accept it," someone said.

"Yes, Yang Zi, you've been so good to everyone already, we can't take advantage of you anymore, we must return this money to you, otherwise, our hearts will be uneasy."

"Right! Yang Zi, you must take this money back, otherwise, we won't be able to face you in the future."

...

The men and women, young and old, of the entire village, insisted on refunding the money.

Chen Yang originally didn't want to take it back, but unable to resist everyone's enthusiasm, he finally nodded and agreed to accept it.

As he nodded and agreed, Chen Yang also brought out the purchase contracts he had prepared in advance.

Allowing them to return the money while taking the contracts back, thus ending the acquisition agreement between them.

Unexpectedly, while everyone was willing to return the money, they didn't want the contracts back.

"Oh come on, we all know each other well, what contract or no contract, Yang Zi you keep them, uncle trusts you."

"We trust you too, Yang Zi, from now on, we'll do whatever you say, sharing fortunes and hardships, all listening to you."

"Right, we're not afraid to follow the path you lead, believing you'll lead our village to prosperity!"

...

Everyone's enthusiasm was unstoppable, and their trust in Chen Yang even surpassed that of their closest and most trusted individuals.

This deeply moved Chen Yang's heart.

It also strengthened his resolve.

Understanding that his dreams are worthwhile!

"Alright, since everyone says so, I'll keep the contracts too, and leave them at the village office. If you ever want to retrieve them, you can do so anytime." Chen Yang finally accepted the contracts and the money.

Everyone happily refunded the money and didn't leave.

Instead, they stayed lively in the village office for a long time before gradually dispersing.

...

At ten in the evening, the village office finally quieted down completely.

Only Wu Kexin and Chen Yang were left there.

"Kexin, keep this money with you, consider it the village's account. If there's anything needed in the future, it can be used directly." Chen Yang handed the money everyone had returned to Wu Kexin.

He truly didn't want to accept this money.

Since everyone was refunding it, it would be better to place it in the village account.

Wu Kexin understood what Chen Yang was thinking, so she didn't push back and accepted it with a nod.

"Alright, I'll take it then."

Wu Kexin didn't hesitate, directly taking the money to the office on the second floor and locking it in the safe.

"By the way, I wonder how Village Head Ma and the others are doing over there, should we call to check?" After putting away the money, Wu Kexin suddenly remembered the nearby villages and asked Chen Yang.

At this moment, Chen Yang was also thinking about the nearby villages.

"Alright, let's call and check." Chen Yang nodded.

Wu Kexin agreed, then picked up the phone and began calling the village heads one by one.

The answers they received were very consistent.

Everyone agreed to the land shares and planned to join Chen Yang's company with their land and share the stocks.

Upon hearing the continued good news, both Chen Yang and Wu Kexin were quite happy.

"Chen Yang, most of the villagers have agreed to this. Now it's just a matter of waiting for your company to be registered, and then signing contracts to finalize the shares." Wu Kexin said excitedly.

"Yes, I've already submitted the registration documents for the company; it'll be ready in a few days. Meanwhile, you can have Village Head Ma and the others continue persuading those who are not willing. If they're truly unwilling to join us, we'll just let it be." Chen Yang said excitedly as well.

"Okay, I'll send a message to Village Head Ma and the others later."

Wu Kexin nodded with a smile, and then both she and Chen Yang went downstairs, returning to their rooms.
