However, this was no challenge for Liu Ergou. He had long anticipated that Liu Jingming would try to make things difficult, so he showed little reaction.
Looking at the smug Liu Jingming, Liu Ergou calmly addressed the crowd. "Let me be honest with all of you. The reason I want to lease the wasteland is to lead our entire village to wealth and prosperity!
"If the medicinal herb cultivation goes well, I'll move on to other plans! By then, we'll replace most of the facilities in our village, and everyone here can even trade their current homes for new two-story villas!"
As he said this, Liu Ergou slapped his chest with loud thuds.
The moment he finished speaking, the crowd erupted.
"What? Two-story villas? Is he for real?"
"Who knows? But he looks pretty confident. It might actually be true!"
"True or not, this lease money is basically free cash. Why wouldn't we take it?"
