Reborn in the 1980s: I became a stepmother in the 1980s Ⅱ

Part 221 Future plans

The surroundings fell into a dead silence.

Zhou Yuanshen turned back to look.

His brows furrowed.

Lin Dad anxiously said, "Uncle Lin, what are you doing? Get up!"

Village Chief Lin bitterly replied, "Er, this matter is my fault for not explaining it clearly to everyone, which led to misunderstandings and affected you."

"It's really on me."

Originally, Village Chief Lin had planned to find an auspicious day to announce the good news if everything went well, hoping to make everyone happy.

Who would have thought such an unexpected situation would arise?

Now, it was a blessing just to avoid offending Zhou Yuanshen, let alone have him actually come to open a factory.

During the meetings, those higher-ups had treated Zhou Yuanshen with utmost respect, and he was not the kind of person who could be easily talked down to.

This time, it was merely because Zhou Yuanshen's wife came from their Lin family village that he was willing to give them face.

Since there was still uncertainty, the village chief hadn't informed anyone, and it unexpectedly leaked out, causing misunderstandings that led to such chaos.

Given the situation with the Lin family's eldest son, everyone harbored discontent towards the second son's family, and it took just a bit of instigation for them to lose all reason.

At this point, it was pointless for the village chief to be angry.

Lin Dad, just learning about all this, felt complicated emotions. He had thought the factory would be a good thing for the village, but who would have imagined such strong opposition?

Not only did they refuse, but they also said such hurtful things. He could only shake his head in silence.

Village Chief Lin turned to Zhou Yuanshen, expressing his apologies. "Comrade Zhou, I don't expect you to forgive their mistakes. I just hope you won't be disappointed in our Lin family village because of them and decide against doing business with us. The others are innocent."

People in the village would buy meat from Zhou's family, usually at a discounted price.

Especially since Linjia Village is now the village of Zhou Yueshen's father-in-law, it's close enough that they get extra meat when they buy from him. If the Zhou family decides not to do business with them because of these people, everyone will struggle just to have a meal of meat.

Si Nian raised an eyebrow from the side. She had thought the old village head was kneeling to beg Zhou Yueshen not to abandon their village. She didn't expect it to be just for this.

Zhou Yueshen glanced at him and nodded slightly. "Lin Village Head, there's no need for that. I won't stop doing business with your entire village because of their actions. But I really won't do business with these individuals, so don't worry."

He swept his gaze over the group. The people who had just shouted they would never buy meat from his family again now looked increasingly pale.

Buying meat from the Zhou family not only saves them money but also spares them the trip to town. Moreover, the supply of meat at the daily cooperative is limited, with first come, first served. Although there are options on the market, they're significantly more expensive. Since the Zhou family started their business, everyone no longer has to wake up early to line up at the cooperative just to buy a meal of meat.

In their moment of impulsiveness, they thought the Zhou family's pig farm wouldn't survive without their group of consumers.

Now they finally realized that it wasn't them who didn't need the Zhou family; it was the Zhou family that didn't need them! Not only had they ruined the village head's efforts, but they had also harmed their own families. The expressions on their faces were priceless.
