After Xu Niannian left, the news about her plans to build a factory in the village spread throughout Qingshan Village in no time.
Surely the village head and Xu Aiguo wouldn't be the ones to spread the news, and although there was no need for secrecy regarding the matter, neither of them were that gossipy.
The source of the news turned out to be the families who signed the contract and sold their land to Xu Niannian.
"What? Xu Niannian is going to build a factory right here in the village? Are you serious? Is it the cripple Dawei's girl we're talking about?"
"Is there a fake one? They actually bought my family's land, plus they promised once the factory's built, at least three people from my family can work there. They'll pay each of us at least 20 yuan a month!" the auntie said, her face brimming with pride.
The villagers were envious of those who could work in the factory—it was practically a secure job.
