Chen Xiaolong was no pious sap; there's a fool who wouldn't take advantage of a good deal, and besides, this should be considered a spiritual compensation fee from Xiao Gou Village. Why refuse it?
Mr. Qi and the others nodded repeatedly, completely following Chen Xiaolong's lead.
No sooner had Xiaolong spoken than the faces of the people from Xiao Gou Village changed slightly.
No one had expected Chen Xiaolong to act so fast, directly asking for benefits.
"Village Chief, this Chen Xiaolong is being too forthright, he might be asking for the moon."
"We can't agree so easily, we need to have some room to maneuver."
"Compensation is fine, but just a few hundred should be enough, no more than that."
The people from Xiao Gou Village had been very polite before, but once money was involved, they seemed to change their tune completely.
After some discussion, more than half disagreed and expressed their refusal.
The situation seemed to become delicate.
