Jiang Chuan was surprised yet moved upon hearing Xiao Li's thoughts, and said, "As long as our intentions are good and aimed at helping the villagers, there's nothing to apologize for. I didn't expect you to endure so much, even falling seriously ill, just to earn some money to help the villagers. Xiao Li, your spirit is something we should all learn from."
Having a good idea is one thing, but now they faced a bigger problem: a shortage of labour.
They wanted to start a fish pond and a supply and marketing cooperative, but they needed helpers for these endeavors. With only a few people available, they were stretched thin. What should they do?
Jiang Chuan pondered and suggested, "How about this, let's go to the commune and seek help from Captain Tian. She's full of ideas and will surely find a solution for us."
The three agreed and went to the commune to find Tian Zao.
