Chapter 43: Preliminary Work
Considering the fish pond was almost abandoned, the village offered a very low price.
However, since the Yue Family signed a ten-year contract all at once, it still amounted to a substantial expense.
Village Chief Zhang maintained a peculiar expression of wanting to say something but stopping himself throughout the entire discussion and eventually couldn't hold back.
"Jiandong, although you have taken on the fish pond contract, you should still focus more on your own land. After all, this is the root of us farmers," he finally managed to say.
This was to ensure the Yue Family had a safety net, lest the fish pond losses later leave them unable to afford even food.
Yue Jiandong solemnly thanked him and took his two brothers to see the pond the next day.
The fish pond was located south of the village, not too far from the Yue Family's home.
