As for the food, it tastes awful to the point of being inedible; in this mine, without special treatment, it's very easy to get sick. Unfortunately, those who get sick are heartlessly abandoned.

Apart from being abandoned, these people are also in high demand, as the mine is very, very large and can earn a lot of money.

"Sir, may I ask if this mine will continue to operate?" The killing of three people is terrifying, but so much salary has been paid.

Most importantly, they even help us see a doctor, which is a rare good thing. If this man becomes our mine director, it doesn't matter what else happens.

"It won't continue. This mine has side effects in my eyes. I've already notified those in charge to shut it down, and I'll also assist with future improvements."

Although not fully understood, it surely makes sense if a benefactor says so. Groups of people returned to the village, their hands filled with money, astonishing the others.

When did mining start making so much money? If it's possible, they must come back again; it doesn't make sense not to.

"This mine has already been sealed off." The man's words left the woman stunned. Why seal off such a good mine? A year's worth of income can be equal to tens of years of earnings.

"I heard it has some negative impacts." The man contemplated, saying, though he didn't fully understand: "Generally speaking, it's for our good."

The woman glared at her husband. If it's for your good, you should be allowed to earn more money. How can it just be sealed?

Sealed? The villagers were shocked. This mine can make so much money, why would one seal it off?

"I say it's impossible, new village chief. We can't let these people seal the mine." The man angrily said, having such a good job can contribute a lot to the village!

"Yes! My child is about to go to college, and the tuition fees depend on this money." They wouldn't need to do this if it weren't for their children needing education.

The others nodded; every family had its reasons. Everyone is used to being poor, and now with so much money appearing, no one is willing to give it up.

"I know that too, but they said the mine has side effects." The village chief advised sincerely, hoping people can rationally handle the situation.

"Impossible, we can't listen to you on this matter. You're nothing good. Who knows what tricks you'll play this time."

The villagers were furious, especially the previous village chief, how dare he treat them like this? They even regarded him as family.

It's simply worse than a beast. They can't listen to this village chief this time. The lesson from last time cannot happen again.

Although they are quite simple-minded, it doesn't mean they have no thoughts at all.

"Detain him, let's argue together. This mine belongs to the village, and it stands to reason that it should be decided by the people of our village."

A villager led the way, and others agreed, determined to protect their property and drive these people out.

Mao Zhonghua and Luo Chao walked along the road, the environment here is still quite good. The mine on the mountain hasn't been developed for long, and with the village chief's secrecy, few people know about this place.

"Do you really intend to bury this place?" Mao Zhonghua curiously asked. If this place is reported, the Jiang Family's status could significantly improve in a short time.

Moreover, this type of mineral is quite precious; with such a large reserve, it's tempting for anyone.

"It does indeed benefit the Jiang Family, but the damage to this place is too great, especially to the villagers' health, they certainly can't handle it."

Although these villagers have nothing to do with Luo Chao, seeing them die he wouldn't be happy either.

"But is this really okay? What if the villagers don't agree?" Mao Zhonghua worriedly said, if the villagers disagree, it could become quite complicated.

Before Mao Zhonghua finished speaking, Luo Chao's expression changed. Just as Mao Zhonghua stated, the villagers had actually surrounded them.

However, the scene on the mountain startled these villagers, there were no large excavators; it seemed they didn't intend to fill the mine at all.

"Could we have wronged them?" asked the hesitant villagers. After all, Luo Chao and Mao Zhonghua had helped them, why make things difficult for them?

But if they were really going to destroy the way they make their fortune, they wouldn't show any mercy, they'd simply drive their benefactors away.

"Benefactor, we want to know if you really intend to fill the mine?" A slightly older villager directly asked.

Luo Chao was stunned, noticeably surprised that the villagers knew about these matters.

"Yes, indeed. This mine is too polluting to the surroundings, and bad for your sister's health..."

Before Luo Chao finished speaking, the crowd below had erupted. If not for their gratitude towards Luo Chao, it might have already escalated.

"Benefactor, this is absolutely impossible. This thing is now the most important asset of our village, you can't just casually bury it."

Moreover, how to bury it? Many villagers ran around the mountain, hoping to find the tools Luo Chao might have hidden but found nothing.

"This thing does pose a considerable danger to you, it might even..."

"We'll deal with these matters ourselves, benefactor, no need for your concern. Our children need money, do you understand that? We must keep the mine open."

If they lose this mine, villagers will once again become families with an annual income of only a few hundred. Although this amount can sustain a good life in the village, if children wish to stand out and pursue higher education, it's not nearly enough.

"Does it really have to be this way?" Luo Chao asked one last time. If the villagers insist on this, he wouldn't have any objections.

After all, other people's lives are theirs; why would he concern himself with these issues? If everyone in the world needed his worry, how would he find time to do other things?
