Chapter 584 - Our Village Was Really Poor

Chapter 584: Our Village Was Really Poor

Ye Feifei, An Xiaohui, and others were attracted by the natural beauty of this place.

The mountain, the river, the grass, and even the stones have been specially made by a divine craftsman.

“The scenery here is really too beautiful!” Ye Feifei exclaimed, “It hasn’t been artificially repaired, but it’s specially carved by nature. This is the most beautiful scenery I’ve seen since I became a backpacker.”

“This place is truly a paradise.” Li Jian was also amazed.

“This place has the natural advantage of being developed into a tourist spot. Why hasn’t anyone discovered it?” A backpacker asked.

At this moment, Xiao Xiaohui said, “Our village used to be a very poor village...”

Before he could finish his sentence, someone immediately asked, “Haha, Little Friend, how poor could the village be in the past? Since we entered the village, we haven’t seen any sign of that.”

What they didn’t know was that compared to a year ago, the village had indeed undergone an earth-shaking change.

In terms of housing, many villagers had built new houses and took down the shabby huts. When the mountains were rented, the villagers got their fair share. It was more than enough to build new houses.

Xiao Xiaohui said very seriously, “You might not know this but Taoyuan Village used to be the poorest village in the entire Xingyin County.

“Other villages had electricity decades ago, but our village only had electricity in the past few years.

“Our village was so poor that not many girls were willing to marry here. As a result, our village has many bachelors.”

The tourists still didn’t quite believe Xiao Xiaohui.

“Because the village was very poor, no one was willing to come here. On top of that, the traffic was inconvenient. Therefore, no one noticed the beauty of our village,” Xiao Xiaohui concluded.

“But, it doesn’t seem like the village is poor now!” Ye Feifei asked in puzzlement. Although she was born rich, she had seen all kinds of rural life on her backpacking days.

The life of the villagers here was obviously much better than the ones she had visited before. It could even be said that they were relatively wealthy. All the houses they had seen were newly built.

When asked about this, Xiao Xiaohui immediately said proudly, “That’s because of my sister.”

“Your sister?” An Xiaohui was a little puzzled.

“My sister is Boss Xiao.” Xiao Xiaohui said proudly, “When my sister was admitted to the university, she was the top scholar in arts in our county. She was admitted to a famous university.

“After graduating from university, she worked for a few years in a big company in a big city. However, some things happened later, so she directly came back to the village to grow vegetables and sell them.

“She became famous selling vegetables. Then, she contracted six public mountains in our village. Those are the mountains that you went to see the flowers. Those six hills are more than 10,000 Mu.”

“Then how much did your sister spend to contract them?” Li Jia asked curiously.

His family ran a ranching company, so of course, he knew that the rental for these lands wouldn’t be cheap. If the mountains were more than 10,000 Mu, the rental had to be a least a few million.

Xiao Xiaohui tilted his head and thought for a while before saying, “According to the rental contract, my sister will pay the villagers 200 RMB per Mu every year, and the rent will increase by 20 percent every three years. The first rental was more than five million RMB. After the rent was distributed, each household received several tens of thousands. With the money, they were able to build new houses and get married. In the past, our village’s bachelors were always the last pick, but now it’s the total opposite.”

The tourists were shocked.

“Oh!” Most of them nodded. “Your sister is really rich.”

Five million was not something that could be easily materialized.

Xiao Xiaohui smiled and said, “Not really. I heard that my sister and the others said that this money came from a bank loan and must be paid back in two years!”

“Haha, you’re just a child, and you actually know about bank loans?” An Xiaohui covered her mouth and laughed.

“Of course,” Xiao Xiaohui said matter-of-factly, “In fact, I’m not the only one. All the people in our village, young and old, know about bank loans. Some of our villagers also went to the rural credit union for credit loans.”

Everyone, “...” The villagers here were very knowledgeable.

Ye Feifei said, “Little friend...”

“Beautiful sister, my name isn’t little friend. I’m Xiao Xiaohui. You can just call me Xiaohui,” Xiao Xiaohui said very seriously.

“Okay, little friend Xiaohui.” Ye Feifei smiled and asked, “Your sister is so rich. Is she planning to develop Taoyuan Village into a tourist destination herself?”

Xiao Xiaohui nodded and said, “Yes. Taoyuan Village is so beautiful. We definitely can’t waste it. Of course, we need more people to appreciate it, right?”

Everyone, “...” That was a grand answer.

However, the tourists were surprised.

“Xiaohui, does your sister know how much money is needed for tourism development and investment?” Li Jian asked curiously.

Developing tourism was not as simple as providing beautiful sceneries for people to admire. It was a huge project. Many facilities had to be installed.

The investment capital was not something that could be settled with just a few million.

The investment cost was at least tens of millions. Moreover, it also depended on the degree of development of the tourist site. If it was a large location, the investment fee could be more than 100 million.

Of course, if it were done well, the rate of return would be very high.

Xiao Xiaohui shook his head and said, “I don’t know about that.” How would a child like him know about these matters?

Xiao Xiaohui then asked in puzzlement, “Brother, how much money does it cost?” No matter the amount, his brother-in-law would be able to afford it. Although his brother-in-law was still unconscious, Grandpa Gong would definitely support his Sis.

“...” Li Jian was silent for a moment before saying, “I’m afraid that it would cost more than ten million.”

Xiao Xiaohui only nodded. Then, he replied with an “Oh” and stopped asking.

Everyone, “...” Isn’t the boy shocked by the amount?

If these people knew that Boss Xiao got married in a dress over several hundred million, they would be the ones who were shocked.

After all, Xiao Xiaohui was a member of the Xiao family and had seen many rich scenes. Of course, he would not be scared by a mere ten million RMB.
