The village chief was very confident at first, thinking that the villagers would definitely help him. Because a lot of the village's workers worked in his workshop, these people would more or less give him some face.

However, after thinking about it a thousand times, he did not expect Lin Mu to contract with some barren mountain, and the salary he gave was even several times that of the workshop.

The key was still the daily salary balance. He would never be in arrears, which was much better than the workshop.

Previously, the villagers thought was, as long as the mausoleum started working, they would think of a way to call back their family's labor force. In the future, when they worked at home, it would be enough to maintain a family's old and young life.

"Village Head, this kind of woman is probably the only one that you can deal with. Your waist seems to have been broken by her. I advise you to go to the hospital early. Otherwise, don't think about going to bed anymore."

Lin Mu started teasing, the village chief in front of him was just a clown, this kind of self-righteous person actually dared to scheme against him, it was simply asking for humiliation.

"Bastard …"

He looked at all the villagers, and said once again: "Everyone, I suggest that we expel this outsider from our Jiuwan Village, what do you think?"

"Nothing, if you dare Lin Mu to leave, then you have to chase us away, we will not agree."

"That's right, now that Lin Mu is going to hire us to farm in the wasteland at the back of the mountain, he will give us a hundred and fifty-one days of salary. We don't need your workshop's work, when the time comes I will call us men to come back."

"That's right, he had been doing whatever he wanted in the village all these years with the help of the workshop. I've disliked him for a long time now."

"..."

After the crowd said those words, they began to criticize the Village Chief one after another.

Lin Mu was their current source of money. Whoever chased Lin Mu away would be fighting with their life on the line.

Seeing everyone's reaction, the village chief was flustered and exasperated, in the end he could only leave in a sorry state. As for Cui Hua, she was naturally embarrassed to continue messing around.

"Sister Xiu Lan, what did you say just now? Lin Mu asked for someone to work for him for one hundred and fifty-one days, can you count me in?"

These words were not ordinary, after going through such a matter, he actually shamelessly asked for Lin Mu's job, no one paid any attention to him.

Even Lin Mu was a little speechless, and said: "Tell me everything that the Village Chief plans, and I will count it as you doing all the work."

This time, Cui Hua no longer had anything to worry about, so she added oil to the fire by telling them about the village chief's bad intentions. When the villagers found out that the village chief wanted to get ahold of Lee Qiuhua, all of them became angry.

"This old fellow truly doesn't give up his evil intentions. It seems that I must teach him a ruthless lesson."

Lin Mu's face turned ugly. Towards Lee Qiuhua, he herself was reluctant to make a move, but she did not expect that this village chief would still dare to have ideas about her, he was truly courting death.

"Lin Mu..."

Lee Qiuhua looked at Lin Mu with a wronged expression. She was a weak girl, and had no one to rely on in this village.

"Don't worry. With me here, no one will dare to touch you."

Lin Mu patted his chest to make sure, and even more so, grabbed her hand to make her feel at ease.

Lee Qiuhua nodded her head. She had already developed a sense of trust towards Lin Mu, and she was also filled with trust towards him.

"Everyone go back first. Starting tomorrow morning, everyone will work in the mountains for eight hours a day. When you're done, come and collect my salary."

Lin Mu called out to everyone, and then he and Lee Qiuhua returned back to the courtyard, but it was still early, and after quickly eating a little, he planned to take a stroll in the mountains.

In any case, it would take at least a week before the products could mature. He planned to specifically mix in with the mountains for this week to find these aged medicinal herbs.

As for the medicinal plants in the courtyard, although they had grown quite well, it was impossible to make them reach 50 years of age without a few months of time.

"Lin Mu, come back and take a rest. Where are you going now?" Lee Qiuhua grabbed Lin Mu's hand, as if they were a little girl's family, and was reluctant to part ways.

Lin Mu reached out his other hand, touched her cheek, and smiled: "Bangwan, I'll be back. Wait for me at home.

"Damn it, I'm still underage. I still have a month before my birthday." Lee Qiuhua suddenly became bashful again.

However, after saying that, she regretted it again. Wasn't this what she had hoped for in her heart? How could she refuse?

"Then I'll wait for your return tonight." Lee Qiuhua hurriedly changed her words.

Lin Mu nodded his head in satisfaction, but in his heart, he did not plan to force her into a corner, this was a pure night of friendship.

When he was about to leave, he saw that the Village Chief had arrived with an overbearing killing intent. From his appearance, it was evident that he had come with ill intentions, and was not someone who would show kindness to others.

"Lin Mu, I heard that you want to contract a plot of land at the back of the mountain. I have to explain this to you clearly, the back of the mountain belongs to the village, and not to any village. Although the land belongs to them, but the back of the mountain still belongs to the village.

The Village Chief went straight to the point and stated his intentions. The celebrity was planning to use his authority to interfere in the contracting of contracts at the back of the mountain.

"Then what does Village Chief mean?" Lin Mu asked with an ugly expression.

"It's very simple. Didn't you want to contract with the back mountain? Then follow the rules, there are a total of 36 acres of land in the back mountain. According to the annual fee of 800 yuan per mu, as long as you pay the money, the back mountain can let you contract with them."

The village chief replied, with a teasing look in his eyes, he obviously thought that Lin Mu had no other choice.

"Village Head, if you use your power for personal gain like this, I'm afraid the village head above will not agree." Lin Mu said coldly, feeling that it was necessary to look for Village Chief Liu Mei.

"I'm just doing things according to the rules. Even if you look for someone, it's useless. Don't tell me that the village's land can be used for you for free. If you want to contract a contract, then you have to contract for at least ten years."

"Ten years is two hundred and eighty-eight thousand dollars. If you lose a single cent, don't even think about starting your work. Otherwise, it would be illegal for you to occupy the land. I can sue you there."

The village chief had a stern expression on his face. Right now, he had attracted quite a few people. His attitude was very firm, and he completely ignored the angry looks of the crowd.

"288,000 yuan. Since you're doing things according to the rules, then I won't go against the rules. Just prepare the contract and I'll think of a way to pay for it."

"However, let me tell you in advance. I will tell the village head about this matter. If you dare to embezzle this money, don't blame me for not being courteous towards you."

Lin Mu scolded angrily a few times, then turned around and drove out of the tricycle.

He was not acting rashly. Since he wanted to follow the rules, he would cooperate.

As for the money, he naturally didn't have enough cash on him. However, he still had a 50 year old bamboo shoot ginseng on him. With his understanding of this kind of herb, it would definitely be very valuable if it was brought to the market.
