She was just afraid that these people would change their minds.

Just now, when she was walking from the yard to the door, she heard several young men whispering that Xu Yan and she could not be trusted, and might just be playing a trick on them. In the end, the house would not be built at all, and they would have to go to the town to find work.

In order to prevent these people from going out to find work after the factory was built and leaving her with an empty factory, Su Wanwan could only prove her determination in this way.

The cold wind that blew through her clothes made Su Wanwan shiver from time to time. Within half an hour, the number of villagers watching her increased several times more than before.

The fact that she went to the factory door to prove her words was known to almost everyone in the village. After seeing her actions, the young men who had questioned Su Wanwan before all stopped talking and quietly stayed near Su Wanwan, forming a circle.

But as time went on, the temperature outside was getting lower and lower. It happened to be a windy day today, and the young people, who were a little irritated by the wind, began to whisper again after being silent for a while. What they said was nothing more than what they had said to Su Wanwan before.

Although these people did not talk loudly, there were so many villagers surrounding Su Wanwan at this moment that these words naturally reached the ears of others.

"Wanwan told us to wait, so why don't we wait for two days? What's the harm in waiting for two days? We can't finish the work in our production team in two days anyway." A young man who had come to help Su Wanwan with work during the day responded loudly when he heard the discussions and doubts of these people.

"What do you mean? Are we talking about whether those things can be delivered? That's clearly a matter of attitude! She can't even guarantee that those things for setting up the factory can be delivered, but she just recruited us to assign tasks together. If this doesn't happen by then, won't we be made fools!"

Someone in the crowd immediately refuted the young man who spoke out.

"I've also heard that other big factories require people to sign a document before they can work there! That document is the only thing that's valid. She just made a verbal agreement with us, and we haven't even seen anything yet, not even a hair. Who knows what she's up to!"

The crowd was originally accusing Su Wanwan of being irresponsible, but as more and more different voices emerged, the public opinion gradually turned in a direction that Su Wanwan had never expected.

These people actually suspected that she was embezzling profits?

Please! The factory hasn't been built yet, and the raw materials haven't been delivered yet. Are these people thinking too far ahead?

Su Wanwan was sitting quietly on a mat, shivering from time to time. She placed her hands on her chest and blew hot air into her hands.

Even if she felt a thousand grievances in her heart, she was almost frozen to the point of being unable to even utter a complete sentence.

"That's right! Xu Yan made so much money without telling the rest of our village, and I never saw him share even a dime with any of us. Why is he suddenly going to make everyone in the village rich together? I think this is a trap! Only people with abnormal brains would jump into it!"

I don’t know if it was because they couldn’t stand the Xu family members talking among them, but soon, voices of hatred towards Su Wanwan and others arose one after another in the crowd.

Naturally, the distrust of Xu Yan was completely transferred to the factory that had not yet been built.

"Look, look, the village chief seems to be coming!"

Just as everyone's voices were getting louder and louder, and the situation was close to being out of control, a figure wrapped in a blanket suddenly walked over from a distance.

The village chief Su Yang was wearing a thin blanket and holding a thicker blanket in his hand. He walked forward very quickly. When he walked into the crowd, he did not stop but quickened his pace until he quickly walked in front of Su Wanwan and handed her the blanket in his hand.

"Village Chief! What do you think we should do now?"

Someone saw the village chief Su Yang coming and immediately told him everything that had happened here and the topics of discussion.

"This factory was proposed by Secretary Wang and I, and he applied to the higher authorities to set it up. The higher authorities also agreed. The raw materials and planning of the factory will take time. It won't grow out of thin air on the ground. Everyone needs to be patient."

Compared with Su Wanwan's explanation, the village chief Su Yang's explanation is obviously more prestigious and easier to convince people.

He looked at Su Wanwan behind him, carefully wrapping herself up in a blanket, and then he cleared his throat with relief:

"Some of us have always been distrustful of everything in the village. I can understand this sentiment. Some accidental things did happen in the village some time ago, but everyone should remember that our production team is always thinking about all comrades. Although the people who invested in this factory in the early stage are some people in our village, in fact, the beneficiaries are also everyone in our village. We all need to protect it together."

The speech by the village chief Su Yang temporarily calmed down the villagers who were originally in chaos and even had the tendency to cause trouble.

"Then give me a definite answer, when can this factory be built?" As soon as the village chief Su Yang finished speaking, someone in the crowd immediately followed up with a question.

"I've told you all about this before. The materials will be delivered to our factory in just two or three days. I've asked everyone to come register in advance and explained to everyone what needs to be done. This will also make things easier in the future so that we don't make mistakes when we're busy."

After Su Yang finished speaking, he turned around, put his hands behind his back, and walked into one of the dilapidated houses. He took a small stool from the wall, gently placed it next to Su Wanwan, and sat down himself.

Although he didn't trust Xu Yan from the bottom of his heart, Su Yang believed in his daughter.

Fortunately, before coming out, he took out two blankets, one thin and one thick, from home. Now, although Su Wanwan, covered with a blanket, was still sitting on a small stool, the blanket could keep out the cold after all, so she was no longer as cold as before.

"Village Chief, what are you doing?"

Although everyone was a little distrustful of Su Wanwan and Xu Yan, the village chief Su Yang was, after all, an old man who had served as the village chief for more than ten years.

Let the old village chief who is trusted by everyone sit here like Su Wanwan waiting for the materials to be delivered... This is too outrageous!

"Don't worry, everyone. The materials will be delivered soon. Everyone go back and have a rest." Sitting on a stool, the village chief Su Yang gave people an imposing and majestic aura as still as a mountain.

"No, those of you who took the lead in speaking just now, I see you have nothing to do during the day, so stay and wait together." Su Wanwan, who had not spoken since sitting on the mat, suddenly said coldly.

"Village chief, this... this would be outrageous if it gets out. We didn't mean that. It's just that the villagers are ignorant and a little anxious. Village chief, you should go back and rest first..."
