Su Chen's idea was that the refugees could rely on Su Family Village, but they couldn't cause trouble and damage Su Family Village's reputation.

It's a mess, what a state it is.

Su Chen's answer did not elicit any agreement from the old clan chief.

Winter is here!

The old clan chief spoke slowly.

"Elder Chief, you..."

Su Chen did not understand what the old clan chief meant.

“Winter is coming, and those refugees have no work to do,” the old clan chief repeated.

"You mean..."

Su Chen instantly understood what the old patriarch meant.

Winter has arrived, and there aren't many ways to make money.

Those refugees are prone to causing trouble.

These brothels were actually a way to wear down their spirits and keep these refugees at bay!

The old clan chief had a long-term vision.

Su Chen is still young after all.

“That is indeed one method!” Su Chen said, “but I think we shouldn’t focus solely on that!”

"Brothels must still be shut down!"

"By the way, Elder Clan Chief, does anyone from our Su Family Village go to these places?"

This time, the old patriarch didn't speak, but instead handed Su Chen a slip of paper.

The note had four names written on it.

The oldest one is almost fifty years old this year.

The youngest one is just eighteen years old this year and has been assigned to the guard team.

Su Chen silently put the note away.

Then he began to explain his method: "Sharpening the axe won't delay the work of chopping wood!"

"Although there isn't much work to do in the fields at the end of the year, there's still a lot of work to prepare in advance!"

"For example, repairing river channels, and building bridges and roads!"

"There was little rainfall at the end of the year, and the river water level dropped significantly, which is why we've had to repair the riverbed several times!"

"Once the river channel is repaired, our Su family will have much less effort in irrigation next year!"

"There's no need to elaborate on building bridges and paving roads. Our Sujia Village is about to welcome its first car, so the roads to and from it definitely need to be repaired."

"The wooden bridge in front of the village has been rotten for so many years, so we will build a new one next to it."

"..."

Su Chen said a lot in one breath.

The old clan chief had the best interests of Sujia Village and was well-versed in the art of maintaining balance.

The old clan chief's attitude can be seen from how he treats the refugees.

But the older generation may have been used to being poor!

I'm afraid of spending money!

Building irrigation canals is a major project, and it will improve next year's harvest. To some extent, it will also prevent dike breaches and protect against floods.

Building bridges and paving roads are even bigger events!

Although it costs money, it will have long-term benefits!

“Take 10,000 silver dollars from the clan treasury and hire those disaster victims to do this!”

"Elder Chief, your house also needs repairs!"

"Get it fixed before the end of the year!"

"Don't be afraid to spend money. Isn't the money you earn meant to be spent? Otherwise, what's the point of striving and struggling?"

Su Chen smiled.

As long as those migrant workers have jobs and can earn money, they will work harder and won't act recklessly.

Sujia Village and these displaced people benefited from each other's situation.

Without these migrants, Sujia Village would have had difficulty developing on a large scale.

We need to accept them on one hand, and guard against them on the other.

Su Chen's way of thinking is quite different from that of the old patriarch.

"you're right!"

The old patriarch still felt something was off, but since Su Chen had said so, he chose to obey Su Chen's orders.

After all, Su Chen was the patriarch of Su Family Village and the most powerful person in the village.

Young people's thinking is ultimately different from that of older people.

"I'll handle this."

The old clan chief spoke first.

Such a large project requires coordination on many aspects.

No one else in Sujia Village has this ability.

"Then I'll have to trouble the old clan chief. Remember, don't be afraid to save money," Su Chen instructed. "As for the brothels in the refugee shacks, just have them shut them down."

“I can’t control where you open your business, but you can’t open it near our Sujia Village.”

"Tomorrow morning, gather all the villagers for a family meeting."

Su Chen gave the instructions.

……

The village of Sujia is quiet and harmonious under the cover of night.

Every household lit up their kerosene lamps.

Su Chen plans to wait until next year to bring electricity to Sujia Village.

Ten years ago, China had already introduced generators, mainly for hydropower and thermal power.

However, the electricity here is only supplied to a select group of political figures.

Ordinary people naturally have no chance.

However, electricity is the foundation of everything; without it, many things cannot be done.

There's definitely no time this year; let's wait until next year.

in the room.

Yin Xinyue and Yi Xiao lay in bed, the two best friends chatting about the day.

Upon seeing Su Chen enter, the two of them simultaneously fell silent.

"Husband, my sister and I have discussed it. From now on, you can come to see me on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and you can go to see Yi Xiao on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays," Yin Xinyue said with a smile.

"And what about the remaining day?" Su Chen countered.

"I'll give you the remaining day off, so you can get some rest!" Yi Xiao said.

"Who do you think you are? I need to rest!" Su Chen's power now surpasses that of the two of them!

Even with three or four people, Su Chen could handle it easily.

"Tonight, I'll show you both what I'm capable of!"

Su Chen pounced on him.

That night, screams echoed throughout the room.

Before Partridge Whistle could arrive, Chen Yulou and the others had already moved out.

Not far from Su Chen's villa, a new villa was built, and Partridge Whistle and the others lived there.

We've gotten to know each other pretty well.

However, after turning off the lights, Partridge Whistle was still a little embarrassed.

It was Hong Gu Niang who took the initiative and pinned Partridge Whistle down.

……

early morning.

The ground was a vast expanse of white.

The village of Sujia has a unique scenery after the frost!

Yin Xinyue and Yi Xiao were still fast asleep. Last night, Su Chen displayed his prowess and showed them what a real man is!

Then the two of them started begging for mercy.

However, Su Chen had no intention of letting them off the hook, and they fought until the wee hours of the morning before he finally let them go to sleep.

Yin Xinyue was still pregnant, so Yi Xiao was the one who mainly took on the firepower.

This caused Yi Xiaolu to be unable to walk during the day.

Su Chen arrived at the ancestral hall early.

All the men of Sujia Village, young and old, gathered here; there were about twenty of them.

Su Chen handed the note to his sixth uncle and asked him to read out the name.

"Su Renzhi, Su Renquan, Su Yibei, Su Yicai, kneel down!"

They were kneeling before the ancestral tablets.

Do you know what you've done wrong?

Sixth Uncle said coldly.

"Sixth Brother, I've been doing nothing wrong, how could I have done something wrong?" Su Renzhi hurriedly said, "There must be a mistake!"

"Yes, Sixth Brother, I won't do anything wrong. You know me best!"

Su Renquan then spoke.

The remaining two, Su Yibei and Su Yicai, both argued that they were innocent.

"I provided this list. Am I wronging you, old man?"

The old clan elder angrily pounded the ground with his cane.

He glared angrily at the group, "You're all bastards! You're completely lawless!"

"They committed a crime but refused to admit it, and even dared to claim their innocence!"
