If they wanted to convince these farmers to rent out the land, they had to contact the village committee first.
With the village committee stepping in to deal with the situation, the villagers would be more willing to accept it.
The cadres of the village committee first held a meeting; this was followed by a collective meeting of all the villagers.
In terms of land, those who stayed at home had more decision-making power.
However, when many villagers heard that they were going to rent out the land, they started making a fuss before the meeting even started.
"No, I definitely won't rent out my land. I still plan to plant watermelons next year," a villager said on the spot. "The rent for an acre of land is only a few hundred dollars. I heard from the villagers in Shizhi Village that an acre of land is only two hundred dollars a year. I can harvest more than two hundred dollars if I plant anything in the fields."
