Zhao Hanzhang paused for a while before saying, "We'll take them in. Most of the refugees entering Xiping County now are people who have lost their land, but we have a lot of land and few people, needing many for farming. Your Upper Corner Village has done a great job in repairing the river."
"I've seen those able-bodied men; they are good workers. In the future, if Xiping County has such short-term work, we'll need to ask for your help."
The village chief heard the refusal in her words and felt a bit disappointed yet somewhat relieved. Actually, unless absolutely necessary, who really wants to leave the village where their ancestors lived?
Zhao Hanzhang watched the village chief leave, her eyes full of regret.
Fu Tinghan said, "Considering the development gap between Xiping County and Shangcai County, it won't be long before they belong to you. There's no need to feel too regretful."
