I can't help but feel a little worried, because once it is exploited, even if they are not allowed to move out of here, it will be inconvenient for my subsequent treatment!
Moreover, I really don’t want this place to be developed.
After being silent for a while, I asked Mr. Wu again: "Mr. Wu, are you willing to see your village being developed?"
Mr. Wu smiled and said: "What's the use of whether I am willing or not? I have just said that the minority must obey the majority."
"You must be unwilling, right? After all, you have lived here for generations and have become accustomed to this kind of life. If it is suddenly developed into a tourist attraction, this will definitely have a serious impact on your future lives."
Mr. Wu smiled again, turned to look at me and said, "Are you afraid that our place will be developed and disturb your treatment at my place?"
I nodded and said truthfully: "Of course this is part of the reason, but more importantly, I really don't want this place to be developed. It should maintain its original appearance. Development means commercialization."
Mr. Wu smiled mysteriously again, and I couldn't understand the meaning of his smile.
After a moment of silence, he put out his pipe, stood up and said to me, "Okay, let's go back."
"Isn't this finished yet?"
"If you want to continue listening, just continue listening." After saying this, he left the meeting with his hands behind his back.
I had no choice but to leave. I really didn’t know what Mr. Wu was thinking. As long as he told me he didn’t want to be developed, I would have the ability to convince the developer.
Yes, I just have this confidence.
However, Mr. Wu didn't say anything, so there was no need for me to bother him.
After returning home, Mr. Wu didn't mention a word about this matter. He just sat alone in the yard smoking a cigarette and being in a daze.
I am also quite sad. If it is really exploited, I don’t know if I can continue to receive treatment with peace of mind.
Wu Nanxing came to me and sat down at some point. She asked me softly: "What's wrong with my dad?"
I shook my head and replied, "I don't know. I was sitting like this alone when I came back just now."
"What are those strangers here for?" she asked me again.
"The development company said they want to develop your place into a tourist attraction. Are you willing to be developed?"
Wu Nanxing asked in confusion: "What is a tourist attraction?"
I smiled and explained to her: "After it is developed, your place will be commercialized, and many foreign tourists will come to your village in the future."
She pursed her lips and thought for a moment before saying, "I don't like people from outside coming to our village."
"That's right, you don't want to be exploited either, right?"
She nodded, and I said to her: "Then ask your father what he thinks? If he says he doesn't want to be exploited, I have a way to stop it."
Wu Nanxing said "hmm" and walked towards her father.
After waiting for a while, Wu Nanxing came over to me.
When she came to me, I immediately asked her: "How is it? What did your father say?"
"My dad told me to stay out of it."
"It's really weird. Your dad obviously doesn't want to be exploited, but he just doesn't say a word about it."
Wu Nanxing didn't know what was going on, so he curled his lips at me.
But I feel that Mr. Wu is very worried, and I don’t know what’s going on.
However, at this moment, someone came outside the yard.
One of them is the middle-aged man who spoke at the beginning, the eldest son of the old village that Mr. Wu mentioned.
Next to him were an old man in his 70s and 80s, and a young man in his twenties.
I don’t know what the purpose of these three people’s visit is, but they still have many gift boxes in their hands.
Upon seeing this, Mr. Wu immediately stood up to greet them, with a friendly smile on his face. At the same time, he called Wu Nanxing into the room to get a chair for them to sit on.
"Mr. Wu, where are you basking in the sun?" the old man said first.
"Yes, the sun is very comfortable today." Mr. Wu replied with a smile.
"Hey, didn't I just see you going to a meeting? Why did you come back?" The middle-aged man asked immediately.
"Didn't I make it clear? I don't like to join in the fun."
As he spoke, Wu Nanxing had already brought out the chair.
The middle-aged man then asked Mr. Wu: "Is this the little girl Nan Xing here?"
"Yes," Mr. Wu still smiled and nodded, and then said to Wu Nanxing, "Nanxing, go and pour some tea for the guests."
The old man immediately said: "No need to bother, we will sit down and leave in a while."
Wu Nanxing ran back to the house to pour tea. The young man kept looking at Wu Nanxing, as if his eyes were welded to Wu Nanxing.
After the three of them sat down, the middle-aged man took out another cigarette and handed it to Mr. Wu. He looked at me again and asked, "Old Wu, who is this young man?"
Mr. Wu replied with a smile: "My relatives."
"Why haven't I seen this before?"
"Why don't you just come to my place?"
The middle-aged man handed me another cigarette. I haven't smoked in the past few days here, and my desire to smoke is not that strong anymore.
I waved to him and said, "Thank you, I don't smoke."
"You've learned well, young man," he said politely, and then said to Mr. Wu, "Old Wu, the village will be developed soon, and your Wu family is undoubtedly the largest in our village. You can get a share of it when the time comes.
It’s a lot of money.”
Mr. Wu responded with a smile. Although he seemed very enthusiastic, I felt that he did not welcome them very much.
After a while, Wu Nanxing came out with tea and handed it to the three people respectively.
I glanced at the young man again, his eyes never left Wu Nanxing, and he was very lewd.
After Wu Nanxing put down the tea, Mr. Wu waved to her and said, "Nanxing, go inside and cook. Make some more dishes at noon."
"Um."
Wu Nanxing responded, turned around and was about to go back to the house, when the old man suddenly called her.
Then he said to Mr. Wu: "Old Wu! We are here this time. Actually, we are here to propose marriage. Please ask Nan Xing to stay."
Hearing this, I was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the young man, who looked so unsightly.
It's not that he's ugly, it just doesn't look like a good person, he's fat and has big ears, and he's very vulgar.
When Wu Nanxing heard the word "proposing marriage", her brows suddenly frowned, she lowered her head and said nothing.
Mr. Wu was very calm. He seemed to have guessed that the purpose of these three people's coming was to propose marriage.
I just realized it, no wonder I brought so many gifts and it took me a long time to propose marriage.
Before Mr. Wu expressed his position, the middle-aged man immediately said: "It's time for Nan Xing to talk about marriage. It just so happens that our Chen Xu is also single, so we want to bring these two young people together."
After saying that, he asked the young man: "Chen Xu, you have seen her too, what do you think of this girl Nan Xing?"
The young man named Chen Xu nodded repeatedly and seemed to be drooling.
Immediately afterwards, the old man said to Mr. Wu: "Old Wu, do you think we should let the two children get to know each other first?"
Mr. Wu seemed a little embarrassed to refuse. He smiled and said: "Secretary Chen, our Nanxing has reached the age of marriage, but it depends on her own wishes."
As Mr. Wu spoke, he called Wu Nanxing over and asked her, "Nanxing, what do you think?"
"Dad, I..." Wu Nanxing lowered his head, looking embarrassed.
"It's okay. If you want to do it, just tell me."
Before Wu Nanxing could speak, the middle-aged man suddenly said: "Oh! Old Wu, this is not a matter of your words."
As he spoke, he took out a red envelope from his pocket and handed it to Mr. Wu.
