Liangdong Village is a large settlement, with over four hundred households and a resident population of over a thousand, so holding a village meeting here is no easy task.
Fortunately, it was almost midday, and the tea farmers had finished their morning work, all heading home for lunch and rest, so at this moment, Li Cheng gathered everyone together.
As soon as they heard that someone was offering three thousand per acre to lease their tea gardens, the villagers were in uproar!
Even those who hadn't been educated knew this was a good deal!
Working hard all year long, an acre of tea brings in only around two thousand, but now, doing nothing, an acre would yield three thousand in income—it's like pie falling from the sky!
But after the surprise, some savvy individuals quickly questioned the Village Chief, "Isn't the other party a scammer?"
"Exactly, what if they don't pay first and mess up our tea gardens, then run off? Who would we go to for justice then?"
