Chapter 798: Chapter 798: Local Tyrant

After chatting with the three of them for a while, Peter Brown learned about the family’s situation. The man had been away working and had not returned for several years. It was rumored that he had another woman outside the village. The widow and her daughters relied on relief and lived in the village. Lea Collins, in order to take care of her two daughters, didn’t dare to go out to work, making their family’s situation very poor.

From observing the inside of their house, Peter knew that they were really struggling. There was practically nothing in the house. The furniture was said to be provided by the villagers, and if it hadn’t been for the villagers who helped fix their home not long ago, they would be spending the winter in the cold.

"I’m going to stay with you for a while. This is the money for my food and lodging. Whatever you think is necessary to buy, just feel free to buy it. Eat better if you can," Peter handed over 2000 yuan directly.

Seeing that Peter gave so much money, Lea Collins hurriedly shook her head and said, "No need for so much money. We grow our own vegetables in the village, and they’re cheap. We can also buy some game from hunters, which isn’t expensive either."

Peter insisted and handed over the money, saying, "It’s not much. Just keep it and buy something if you need it."

After hesitating for a moment, Lea Collins took the money.

The two Harrison sisters looked at Peter at this point, still full of curiosity about him.

After talking with them for a while, Peter went to inspect the land he was going to lease.

Peter was satisfied with the land here. In addition to the Spirit Vein, it was suitable for his living needs.

The Harrison sisters followed behind Peter at Lea Collins’ call, accompanying him in checking out the land.

The two sisters were clever. Although both had limitations, one could listen and the other could speak. When working together, they could communicate with Peter.

Through communication, Peter learned more about the two sisters.

Peter now wanted to find a design institute in the city and have them design the area. He wanted to build a road, repair the necessary buildings, and make this place as suitable for living and leisure as possible.

Peter had money now and didn’t want to live uncomfortably.

"Boss Wang, your lease has been approved. All you need to do is sign the contract and transfer the money, and it’s done," said Justin Walter, along with several other village cadres, as soon as Peter returned to Lea Collins’ house.

Hearing that it was a done deal, Peter was pleased and smiled, "That’s great. In this case, I’ll pay for tonight’s dinner and invite everyone from the village to come. I can get to know everyone and discuss my next steps. What do you think?"

Justin Walter was naturally pleased and laughed, "Alright, as you wish."

Peter gave the money to Justin Walter and asked him to handle the paperwork.

With money, it’s easy to get things done. Justin Walter even managed to gather some game from the village.

"Boss Wang, it’s been many years since we’ve had such an event in our village. You really are bringing prosperity. This large piece of wasteland you’ve leased, what are your plans? Can you share with everyone?"

About a dozen villagers gathered around a few tables. After they had a few glasses of rice wine, Justin Walter took advantage of the relaxed atmosphere to ask Peter Brown about his development plans.

Peter hadn’t given much thought to development and simply smiled, "Actually, I’m just looking for a place to relax. I haven’t thought much about development. But here’s a rough idea of what I want to do."

When everyone heard that Peter hadn’t thought about how to develop the land, they were all astonished.

Peter continued, "The road must be built, otherwise, I won’t be able to drive my car in. So, I’ll pay for the road from the highway to the village to be built. It’s just a matter of tens of millions of yuan. We must get it done."

Sweat!

When the villagers heard Peter speak so casually about spending tens of millions of yuan, everyone looked at him with a sense of awe.

"Boss Wang, are you really going to turn that wasteland into a living area?" A young man in the village asked this – he was one of the few young people who had stayed in the village.

Peter smiled, "I’ll hire a designer to help me plan the place. I’ll turn the entire wasteland into a leisure estate, some living quarters, and leisure spots. If there are guests, we’ll receive them, if not, we’ll use it for our own leisure."

Even Justin Walter was belittling Peter at this point, thinking he had too much money and nothing to spend it on, and that no one would come to such a place.

However, since Peter was the boss, he had the money, and it was up to him how he spent it. Justin Walter didn’t mind Peter spending the money here.

Peter went on, "Our village is not far from the city, so we can cultivate some unique rice varieties that are different from other places. I believe the revenue will also be high."

Rice cultivation?

Everyone was astonished that Peter wanted to lease the land to cultivate rice. It was something they had never expected.

When they looked at Peter again, he said, "Vegetables must also be planted. And this place should be suitable for fish farming. When the time comes, I’ll handle these matters. Don’t worry. I won’t say much, but as long as you’re willing to help, I’ll hire you. I’ve heard that county workers make two to three thousand per month, and people who go out from the village to work don’t make more than four thousand."

"Boss Wang, it’s not 4,000, more like 2,000."

"Right, so for you, I’ll pay no less than 3,000 per month for your labor. With that, do you think your lives will change?"

"What? That much!"

The villagers were really surprised at this point, never expecting Peter to offer such high wages. This had never happened before in other places.

"Boss Wang, if that’s the case, who would still go out to work!" I’m just worried that there won’t be a market for the grain and vegetables you grow."

"It’s fine. If we can make money, that’s great. If not, it’s not a big deal."

Rich!

Now the villagers only had one comment about Peter – a rich man had come to their village. And this rich man was here to spend money.

At this point, Justin Walter laughed, "Boss Wang, if everything really goes as you’ve said, our village will definitely become prosperous. It’s really great."

Peter smiled, "I’ve checked and there are only about 50 households in the village. It’s not difficult to help you all become wealthier. As long as you work hard for me, I’ll reward you with renovated villas."

"What?!"

The villagers looked at Peter in astonishment once again.
