Doctor and His Glamorous Sister-in-Law

Chapter 189 - 188 I Disagree

After parting with Wu Guifang, Liu Ergou quickly returned home. The first thing he did was throw himself onto his small bed. In just a few minutes, he fell into a deep sleep, not waking until dawn.he meeting. We'll discuss this matter with all the villagers!"

"You can still back out now, but it'll be too late to regret it later!"

Liu Ergou nodded his head firmly.

Seeing his determination, Liu Jingming said no more and began shouting into the loudspeaker.

"Attention, villagers! Attention! Our very own Liu Ergou intends to lease the fifty mu of wasteland in our village! Please hurry to the village committee office for a meeting!"

Liu Jingming repeated the same message three times. After the third announcement, the whole of Fengzhu Village was abuzz. Everyone was stunned; they couldn't believe Liu Ergou wanted to lease the wasteland. Fifty mu wasn't cheap.

Surprised as they were, the villagers didn't hesitate. This was a good thing for them, so they quickly put down their work and rushed to the village committee office.

At that moment, Feng Chunling, who was cleaning two mangled ducks, looked up. "Huh? Fifty mu of wasteland? Does this kid really have that much money?!" she said with surprise.

After a moment of thought, Feng Chunling dropped the ducks and headed straight outside to join the assembly at the village committee office.

Just half an hour later, the previously empty village committee grounds were jam-packed with people. They were all buzzing about Liu Ergou leasing the wasteland, wondering how he had suddenly come into so much money.

Amidst the discussion, Liu Jingming emerged from the office and stood at the front, with Liu Ergou following behind him.

As for Liu Yunxi, she was away on other business and not in the village, so she was absent from the meeting.

Gazing at the noisy crowd below, Liu Jingming raised his hand and pressed it downwards. The crowd instantly fell silent.

He nodded in satisfaction, took a deep breath, and loudly addressed the matter at hand.

"Alright everyone, you've heard the announcement. Liu Ergou wants to lease the wasteland in our village. Those fifty mu are just sitting idle anyway, so if someone wants to lease them, I'll naturally agree!"

"Leasing it out means more money for the village to improve our conditions!"

"If anyone has any objections, feel free to voice them. If they're reasonable, we'll take them into consideration!"

As soon as he finished, the crowd began whispering amongst themselves, but the murmuring only lasted for a few minutes before it quieted down. Everyone present had no objection to Liu Ergou leasing the wasteland.

Just as Liu Jingming was about to give the final approval, a dissenting voice suddenly cut through the crowd.

"I have an objection! I don't agree to Liu Ergou leasing the wasteland!"

At these words, everyone turned toward the source of the voice. The speaker was none other than Er Lu.

Though Liu Jingming and Liu Ergou didn't get along, leasing the wasteland was undeniably beneficial for the village. So when he heard Er Lu's objection, he snapped irritably, "Er Lu, shut your mouth! What gives you the right to object?"

"What, you want to lease the land yourself?"

"If you want it, I'll lease it to you right now!"

As he spoke, all eyes in the crowd immediately turned to Er Lu.
