The Problem with Marrying Rich: Out of the Way, Ex Chapter 1088 - You Will Be in Charge from Now On

Chapter 1088: You Will Be in Charge from Now On

He stood on a farm that was located not far from the entrance of Mang Village. He had hired an operations manager and he was currently teaching him how to manage the farm and the processing plant, how to restock, and how to increase profits.

He Xiyan had invested in the development and the construction of the farms located at the nearby villages and the nearby processing plant.

The farms mainly reared ducks and chickens and currently, they reared more than 5,000 chickens and 2,000 ducks. These local chickens and ducks would be sent to Ming City and distributed wholesale to several markets. A portion of the chicken and duck eggs would be sold on their online store for around $1,50 each.

The laborers at the farms were all villagers from Mang Village. They used to rear chickens and ducks too but those were mainly for their own consumption or to be sold to middlemen. They have not reared poultry at such a large scale. After the farms were ready, their revenue increased significantly and they were now able to take home 6,000 to 7,000 dollars a month. They credited their newfound fortune to He Xiyan and Chen Jiahang.

There was also a processing plant that processed farming by-products such as canned chopped chilies, fermented beancurd, cured meat, and others. Part of these by-products would be distributed to several markets while a part of it would be listed online for sale.

Chen Jiahang continued to run the factories after Yan Yan left and in fact, their shop was doing better than before.

These were the businesses that they had worked so hard to build and there were the livelihoods of the villagers. If he were to abandon the farms and processing plant, most of the villagers would be reduced to living in poverty, just as they did before.

“Have you taken note of all that?” Chen Jiahang asked the young man beside him. This man was younger than him at only 25 years of age. He was the only young man from Mang Village who managed to pa.s.s the entrance examinations and make it to university. He had just graduated two years ago.

“Yes, Mr. Chen,” the young man said with a smile. He had worked at a large firm in Shen City for some time in the two years after graduation and only noticed the changes that had taken place in his hometown after he returned to visit last year. He was more than happy to lead his fellow villagers out of poverty and thus, he resigned and returned to their village chief.

“You will be in charge from now on but I might come back once or twice a month to check in on this place. Feel free to call if you have any questions,” Chen Jiahang.

He handed several related doc.u.ments to his operations manager.

He had grown to be deeply attached to this village after spending nine years living in the village. He was more attached to Mang Village than his own hometown. Perhaps deep down, he thought of this village as his hometown. He knew every villager and household at Mang Village and many of these villagers had once lent him a helping hand. He wouldn’t have been able to survive when he was mute and intellectually challenged if it hadn’t been for the kindness of these villagers after his adopted father pa.s.sed away.

Most of the villagers were simple and honest men and there were only a few who mocked and ridiculed him.

Chen Jiahang was surprised to see that Yan Yan had sent him a text out of the blue because she had not reached out to contact him since she left Ye City, neither did she respond to most of the messages he sent her.

He was already making preparations. The mansion at Ye City was undergoing renovations while he was handing over the operations of the plant and the online shop to someone else. Once he settled all his affairs here, he would move to Ye City to settle down with her.

He didn’t mind raising her two children alongside her.

He Xiyan saw Jiahang’s response but she didn’t reply to his message. She hesitated for a moment before she went to a nearby car rental firm and rented a car.

Then, she drove the car toward Mang Village.

As she drove along the familiar highway, she found that she still remembered where each tunnel was and how wide the tunnels were.
