Chapter 137: Asleep at Home, Money Rains from the Sky

A night passed without incident.

The next morning, as soon as Xin Lei returned, Wu Xiaoshan found her and shared his intention to expedite the road construction.

After listening, admiration surfaced in Xin Lei's eyes. She too understood the principle that to get rich, one must first build roads. Although the villagers' standard of living had improved considerably, the issue of road construction was still a concern for her.

After a brief pause, Xin Lei slowly said, "Xiaoshan, actually, I had already reported this situation to the higher-ups and have received support."

"Really?" Wu Xiaoshan's eyes lit up. If the higher-ups were supporting them, he could save a significant amount of money.

"Yes, it's true. They said they will allocate one hundred thousand yuan for the project," Xin Lei said with a smile.

"Only one hundred thousand?" A hint of disappointment flashed across Wu Xiaoshan's face. One hundred thousand yuan wouldn't be enough even just for the road in the village.
