Chapter 52 -52 Unhurried_1

Xia Ningxing guessed correctly; two days later, officials from above arrived in the village in a small sedan.

The village head warmly received them, and upon hearing that the river renovation would pass through the northwest corner of their land, he quickly led the people to the Xia family’s home.

“Is anyone in Xia Jianren’s home!”

The village head’s loud voice spread in all directions before he even arrived.

Since it was almost the New Year, every household had someone at home. Curious, they ran out to ask what was happening when they heard the noise, only to see several men in suits and leather shoes, carrying briefcases, by the village head’s side.

They were all refined and well-mannered, with meticulously combed hair and shoes so polished they could reflect one’s face clearly.

People also saw the usually domineering village leaders with ingratiating smiles and fawning expressions.

Without a doubt, the visitors were big shots.

Consequently, someone unable to contain their curiosity asked, “Village head, who are these people? Why are they looking for Xia Jianren’s family? Did they commit a crime and are about to be arrested?”

If such important figures were involved, it must be something serious!

“Nonsense!” The village head glared at the person irritably. How could these people think so negatively, never saying anything good, “They are here from above to fix the river. Go find a cool place to stay out of the way, and don’t cause trouble!”

“But what does fixing the river have to do with Xia Jianren’s family?” Now the person was even more curious.

The village head gave him a withering look: “The river is going right through those few acres of land at the northwest corner of Xia Jianren’s property, and they need to use it!”

“What!?”

Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes widened in shock.

To use the land meant it wasn’t being taken for free; there would be a hefty compensation payment!

Who would have thought the neglected wasteland at the northwest corner would suddenly become a treasure!

If they had known such good fortune would come, they would have chosen that piece of land when they were dividing up the property!

Thinking back on how they had all mocked the Xia family, their faces twisted with envy, and they were left with nothing but sighs.

“I heard each acre could fetch more than two thousand yuan. Xia Jianren’s family is going to make a fortune!”

“Sigh, how can they be so lucky, making so much money in business and now even their land is getting acquired!”

“If you ask me, It’s Xia Aiguo’s family who’s really unlucky, trying to get a small advantage only to suffer a big loss. They must be crying now!”

“You didn’t remind me about Xia Aiguo trading two acres of that northwest wasteland for two acres of fertile land!”

In this gossip-starved, backward little mountain village, such a sensational event naturally sparked intense discussion, and everyone was as excited as if it were their own land being acquired.

The village head and the government officials had already entered the Xia home: “Xia Jianren’s family! Where are you! Are you home?”

“Uncle Village Head, why have you come?” Mrs. Xia, who was initially making perfume with Xia Ningxing, hurriedly responded and rushed out, leaving her work behind.

Xia Ningxing followed at a leisurely pace, her cute face calm, clearly having guessed what was happening.

When Mrs. Xia came out and saw not only the village head but several obviously distinguished men, she froze in surprise.

Then, feeling self-conscious at the sight of her own shabby courtyard, a sense of inferiority welled up, and she felt awkward and embarrassed, standing rooted to the spot, not knowing what to do.

It was Xia Ningxing who remained calm and composed: “Grandpa Village Head, uncles, please come in and have a seat.”

With an appropriate smile and a voice soft and sweet, she politely gestured for them to enter.

Her demeanor was not at all like that of a village child, but rather that of a lady from a prestigious family.
