The Capitalist’s Spoiled Young Master? Perfect to Take Home as a Husband Chapter 141

"Since you've already decided, I won't say more. But if there are any problems later, you must tell ." Only after confirming Song Nianchu wasn't joking did Mu Shi'an say firmly.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Song Nianchu smiled at him.

"..."

The news that the village was to take in refugees soon spread throughout the whole community, and everyone's reaction was similar to Wu Zhenggui's.

They felt that as soon as their lives had gotten a little better, soone was bullying them like this. They were practically ready to form a group to go and demand an explanation from the brigade leader.

In ​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‍the end, it was Song Nianchu who stepped forward to placate them, and everyone gradually cald down.

Song Nianchu breathed a slight sigh of relief.

If they had really gone as a group to see the brigade leader, he might have seized the opportunity to assign the next hundred people to their village as well.

If that happened, the village would truly be overwheld.

However, before Song Nianchu could relax, ng Yingying found her.

"Ah-Chu."

"What's wrong? Is there a problem with the workshop?" Song Nianchu looked at her questioningly.

ng Yingying was now the team leader of the ingredients departnt, responsible for the washing and preparation of food materials.

Aunt Wu and Hua were the team leaders of the two cooking groups respectively.

All three of them were among the first to join the workshop, so no one had any objections to this arrangent.

With the three of them managing the workshop, Song Nianchu's workload had lightened considerably.

"Is the village really going to... accept those refugees?" ng Yingying asked nervously.

"This is the brigade's arrangent. Those people will arrive tomorrow morning." Song Nianchu nodded.

Hearing this, ng Yingying's lips moved as if she wanted to say sothing, but Song Nianchu waited for a long ti without hearing her continue.

"Is sothing the matter?" Seeing ng Yingying looking so hesitant, Song Nianchu watched her with concern.

ng Yingying opened her mouth, the words on the tip of her tongue, but then stopped.

"Yingying, if you have sothing to say, you can speak directly." Song Nianchu felt ng Yingying's behavior was very unusual.

Before, she had always stayed on the fringes of the group, never initiating conversations or wanting to expose herself to others.

But after what happened with Third Wu, it seed she had completely opened up and began slowly integrating into the collective.

Even when Song Nianchu asked her to be a team leader, she was only surprised for a mont before imdiately agreeing.

Recently, she had been doing an excellent job as team leader, and the mbers of her group respected her, as her abilities were truly undeniable.

But now, her deanor made Song Nianchu feel as if she had reverted to the old ng Yingying.

Under Song Nianchu's unwavering gaze, ng Yingying gritted her teeth and finally made a decision.

"Ah-Chu, can we find a place with no one around?"

Song Nianchu looked at her for a mont, then nodded, leading her to the seaside.

At this ti, everyone was working, and no one had gone out to sea. The fishing boats were simply moored by the shore.

Song Nianchu led ng Yingying onto a fishing boat. The sea breeze brushed past, carrying a faint, briny scent in the air.

"It's quiet here, and there's no one else. If you have sothing to say, you can tell directly." Song Nianchu looked at ng Yingying beside her.

ng Yingying stared at the vast blue sea before her, rembering how she had once rushed forward recklessly, and how Mu Shi'an and Song Nianchu had saved her.

Later, when she was prepared to perish together with Third Wu, it was Song Nianchu who helped her deal with the aftermath.

She even helped her leave Third Wu's household, promoted her to team leader, making sure Third Wu's family didn't dare cause her trouble.

Her new life was almost entirely given to her by Song Nianchu. She didn't have strong feelings for others in the village, but she was grateful to Song Nianchu. Therefore, she couldn't remain indifferent, even if what she was about to say might expose her greatest secret.

"Can you ask the village chief not to accept those refugees?" ng Yingying took a deep breath, looking at Song Nianchu with utmost seriousness.

"Can you give a reason?" Song Nianchu knew ng Yingying wouldn't make such a suggestion without cause.

"Because... accepting them could potentially destroy the entire Qinghe Fishing Village." ng Yingying's eyes were exceptionally firm as she said this.

Song Nianchu frowned. "Why do you say that? Are you worried we can't accommodate so many people?"

"No, that's not it." ng Yingying shook her head.

"Then what is it?" Song Nianchu pressed.

ng Yingying clenched her fists tighter at her sides, eting Song Nianchu's gaze as she spoke word by word.

"Because among this group of refugees is an extrely cruel... criminal gang."

"Criminal gang?" Song Nianchu was taken aback.

"Yes." Having gotten the hardest part out, the rest of ng Yingying's words flowed more smoothly.

"They are vicious and ruthless. They've committed many atrocities along their journey fleeing hardship. Once they co to Qinghe Fishing Village, they definitely won't restrain themselves. They might even commit major cris."

In her previous life, there had been a similar situation. However, back then, Qinghe Fishing Village didn't accept so many people; they were only assigned five individuals. Those five happened to be part of a gang. After arriving in the village, they felt the villagers treated them poorly—they weren't given houses or allocated grain—and they grew resentful.

At first, they only engaged in petty theft. When caught, they felt no sha, instead shalessly saying they were hungry and couldn't just wait to die.

Later, they beca dissatisfied with re petty theft and began trafficking people.

They kidnapped several village children. At first, everyone thought it was just an accident, but later even won went missing. Only then did people gradually sense sothing was wrong.

The village chief reported it to the county police, who launched an investigation. Piecing things together, they finally discovered it was those five individuals working together from inside and out, treating the village's children and won like goods to be sold.

But it was already too late. Most of the kidnapped children had already been sold off, scattered to the far corners of the country, impossible to retrieve.

The criminals even argued that they were helping those people, claiming staying in the village would only lead to starvation, and being sold offered a chance at survival.

The villagers hated them to the core, practically wishing they could skin them alive.

The police decided to arrest them, but they escaped during the arrest process. They even returned to Qinghe Fishing Village and, under cover of night, slaughtered several families.

It was only because soone escaped and cried for help that other villagers were alerted and managed to subdue them together.

Those five were eventually executed. But the village had lost over a dozen children, five or six won, and three families were completely wiped out.

The case caused a nationwide sensation at the ti. Qinghe Fishing Village took many years to recover from the blow, which is why even after the country opened up later, their area never really developed.

Having lived this life once before, she wanted to change this tragedy, but her strength was too ager. No one would listen to her words, and she was acutely aware that her own abilities were no match for those five seasoned villains.

But she believed Song Nianchu could do it.
