The village chief told them many things, but he also analyzed the prospects and benefits very clearly.
As long as one was not stupid, one would know which choice to make.
The scene was silent.
After a moment, someone asked, "Village chief, are you sure that Xiao Lingyu will still contract the mountains in the future?"
If Xiao Lingyu did mean to do that, the villagers would have a yearly, high passive income. They didn't even need to do anything. They could sleep at home, and they'd get the money from rent.
When Xiao Lingyu rented Tai Ping field, she promised to increase the rent by 20 percent every three years. She would do the same for the mountain contracts.
Furthermore, after Xiao Lingyu rented the mountain, everyone could still go up the mountain. Xiao Lingyu would not interfere.
The villagers had nothing to lose.
