Reborn in the ’80s as a Group Favorite Bigshot – Chapter 25

Chapter 25: How Will She Ever Marry in the Future?

Tang Min thought about it carefully, and the more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.

“In that case, let’s buy the three machines first.”

Song Chu suggested, “Eldest Maternal Uncle, our village doesn’t have any special industries, but we can develop them ourselves. When the time comes, we can directly build a factory. Not only can it improve the lives of everyone in the village and generate income, but it will also be a credit to you as the Brigade Leader.”

“Build a factory? Do you want to make it an oil pressing factory?” Tang Min still had some insight. “Our village alone can’t afford to open an oil pressing factory. It would be difficult to compete with the county’s oil pressing factory, and the commune won’t agree.”

Song Chu smiled and said, “We won’t open an oil pressing factory, just an oil pressing workshop. This will be a stepping stone for us to build other factories.”

She explained her original idea, “Our village can build a breeding farm, raising pigs, chickens, ducks, and fish, forming a breeding chain. The oil residue from the oil pressing factory can be used to feed the animals at the breeding farm. It’s nutritious, healthy, and promotes fattening.”

“I read about this in a scientific farming book before, and I even wrote down the method. It will definitely work.”

“Our commune has always been at the bottom among the other communes. If we can open a breeding farm, I believe the Commune Director will be happy about it. If it’s managed well, it can become a collectively owned and state-operated enterprise, and we can sell our products openly.”

“By then, our village will have its own special industry, and we can expand from the breeding industry to other industries. The villagers can become workers, and everyone will be happy.”

“The commune will also have achievements, surpassing other communes. Eldest Maternal Uncle, you, as the Brigade Leader, will definitely be indispensable. You might even be able to take another step forward.” She painted another big picture for him.

Her Eldest Maternal Uncle was only in his forties, still at an age to be ambitious. Moreover, he wasn’t stubborn and had some foresight. She believed he also wanted to do something.

Tang Min was a relatively rational person, but he was still somewhat moved by Song Chu’s words. As the Brigade Leader, he had always wanted to do something practical for the village.

If the breeding farm his niece mentioned could be established and turned into a collective state-owned enterprise, the prospects should be good. It’s just that the operation wouldn’t be easy.

He couldn’t make a decision immediately, “Let’s get the oil pressing workshop up and running first, and then we’ll see.”

Song Chu wasn’t planning to achieve everything at once. She had always preferred to take things step by step steadily. “Okay, then you and the accountant take some time tomorrow afternoon to go to the county town with me to buy the oil presses.”

“Alright, I’ll explain this matter clearly to the village cadres,” Tang Min nodded.

Then he suddenly remembered something, “By the way, where exactly is the tea oil tree you mentioned on the Back Mountain? Is it deep? What if we encounter wild beasts?”

Song Chu replied, “It’s not too deep. It shouldn’t take more than an hour to get there if we walk fast. It’s hard to say whether we’ll encounter wild beasts.”

Then she changed the subject and continued, “We can organize the strong laborers in the village to go into the mountain, and I’ll lead the team to pick the tea oil fruit. This way, even if we encounter wild beasts, there won’t be any danger. I can handle it.”

“Don’t be so overconfident just because you killed a large snake. If there’s danger, it could cost lives,” Tang Min frowned.

His niece was just a girl. Even if she had some strength, how could she deal with wild beasts?

Seeing that he didn’t believe her, Song Chu scanned the courtyard and saw a large rock in a corner not far away.

She stood up and said, “Eldest Maternal Uncle, let alone one wild beast, I can handle several. I’ll prove it to you.”

Then she walked to the large rock and punched it several times with a clenched fist.

This scene stunned Tang Min and the rest of the Tang family. They never expected her to punch the rock directly. They didn’t even have time to stop her and couldn’t help but jump in fright.

If she hurt her hand from such a forceful impact, her younger sister/Auntie would surely come to make a scene.

Tang Min was about to go over to check if his niece’s hand was injured and send her to the village clinic if there was a problem.

But just as he stood up, he heard a “crack!”

◈◈◈

Then they saw the large rock suddenly split into several pieces.

The Tang family members were all dumbfounded: “…”

Song Chu cracked the rock open, then turned around and raised her hand, waving it at them, “Eldest Maternal Uncle, do you believe me now? Do wild beasts have heads harder than this rock?”

Her body was already incredibly strong, and she had added some techniques, making her comparable to a strength-type ability user in the apocalypse. So, she could smash the rock without hurting her hand.

“…” Tang Min wanted to calm down.

Song Chu’s two Older Male Cousins [mother’s side] couldn’t help but gulp at this moment. Their Younger Female Cousin [mother’s side] was terrifyingly strong. Fortunately, they had never been beaten by her. Otherwise, would they still be alive?

The two cousins were also quite frightened. They had been very dissatisfied with Song Chu, but now they didn’t dare to show it.

The three nephews, however, looked at Song Chu with admiration. Cousin was so awesome.

After a long while, Tang Min came back to his senses and coughed dryly, “Ahem, in that case, let’s do as you said.”

No wonder she could kill such a large python. It wasn’t luck at all.

“What did you eat growing up? How can you be so strong?” He couldn’t help but exclaim.

Song Chu said with a smile, “This is a gift from heaven. It has nothing to do with what I ate.”

Tang Min chuckled, “You girl, you’re getting cocky.”

But on second thought, it made sense. If it wasn’t a gift from heaven, how could she have such great strength? The strongest man in the village was far inferior to her.

No wonder she used to be the village bully. None of the boys could beat her.

On one hand, he felt very proud. As expected of a child of the Tang family, she was truly impressive.

On the other hand, he couldn’t help but worry. It would be better if it were a boy, but with such a delicate and beautiful niece, how would she ever marry in the future?

“Eldest Maternal Uncle, once the oil pressing workshop is up and running, let me manage it.” Song Chu wasn’t after the power, but she needed to get the oil pressing workshop running smoothly to lay the foundation for the breeding farm. She needed to manage it personally to ensure its success.

Tang Min had seen his niece’s dedication and talent these past two days. It would be difficult for anyone else to make the oil pressing workshop work, and she was the one who proposed it and contacted the oil press supplier.

So he decided to give her a chance to prove herself, “Alright, but you can’t be lazy like before. If I give it to you, you have to do your best and not let the villagers gossip.”

Otherwise, who knows what they would say behind his back about him playing favorites.

“Mission guaranteed to be accomplished!” Song Chu raised her hand and smiled.

Tang Min smiled and said, “Once the oil presses arrive, you need to come up with a plan for who will work at the oil pressing workshop, how to organize the villagers to go into the mountain, and how to distribute the oil.”

Since he had decided to let his niece manage it, he would give her free rein. This was also a test.

If she couldn’t even pass this, then the so-called breeding farm was out of the question.
