Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 1318 - 1320: Unanimously Approved

The elder of the Zhong Family was thinking about how they hadn’t managed to make anything of this Stone Mountain in twenty years, and in the end, they lost all the family’s assets.

Since the kids have ideas, let them go ahead and try.

However, the aunt of the Zhong Family was more short-sighted and still worried, expressing her concerns, "What if it involves so many people and we end up losing money, then what?"

At this moment, Xiaoxiao spoke up, "Auntie, we can try it out for a year first. This mountain isn’t always being leased out to everyone. Let the villagers lease it for a year first. Luckily this year, my older cousin has already secured a business deal, and he can look for others elsewhere. There should be work available this year. If it doesn’t work out and we don’t make any Silver, next year we won’t lease out the mountain."

Xiaoxiao paused and continued, "In the first year, everyone can definitely earn some Silver. Once the villagers earn Silver, by the second year, they might be fighting to lease our mountain."

Hearing Xiaoxiao’s words, the aunt of the Zhong Family teased, "You kid, you speak so convincingly, I’m almost believing it."

"Auntie, if you don’t believe me, just watch."

In the end, the aunt of the Zhong Family compromised, "Alright, alright, you guys make the decision. Your uncle is right, we old folks don’t have much time left, we’re just afraid you’ll lose money and won’t have any Silver to fall back on later."

But since there’s no Silver to fall back on now, let’s gamble on it and let the kids have a go.

Seeing that Xiaoxiao had almost finished speaking, the elder of the Zhong Family asked, "Xiaoxiao, anything else to say?"

"That’s about it; what I wanted to say is mostly covered. If there’s anything lacking in what I said, feel free to supplement, and let’s discuss it together. I haven’t done this before, so I might not have explained it thoroughly. We will have to figure things out in practice. Anyway, I think it’s worth a try; we can take a year to see how it goes, and everyone can give it a shot."

Hearing Xiaoxiao’s words, the elder of the Zhong Family nodded and also nodded toward the other old men, then said, "Xiaoxiao has already explained the plan. You young ones should discuss it and see if it’s feasible. Although your older cousin says it’s possible and Xiaoxiao also says it’s possible, this mountain belongs to everyone, and you all have a say. If you’re not unified in your opinions, it won’t work out."

The elder of the Zhong Family’s words made Xiaoxiao see him in a different light; the Zhong Family didn’t practice unilateral decision-making and gave the young ones agency.

Xiaoxiao’s brothers felt like they were in a fog, but they were quite devoted to the matter, and the group really started discussing it.

Spit was flying everywhere during the discussion, and from time to time, Xiaoxiao had to clarify some details, with Zhong Lihui also helping from the side.

Finally, after two hours of discussion, everyone made a decision.

"Let’s go with Xiaoxiao’s plan."

"Yeah, let’s do it. It’d be great if our family’s skills could spread further in this generation."

"Agreed, let’s try it first. If there’s no result after a year, we’ll figure something out."

"I agree too, let’s go for it."

"..."

"..."

And so, Xiaoxiao’s proposal was unanimously passed by the Zhong Family, and then everyone launched into a big discussion on how to carry out the plan, who would divide the land, who would recruit apprentices, who would enlist villagers, who would craft tools, and so on.

The next day, everyone began taking action according to the tasks assigned to them.
